1…………> Life Of Honor & Service: George H.W.Bush

 

“The inspiring life of former President George Herbert Walker Bush, who died Friday at the age of 94, helped ignite a thousand points of light he saw as illuminating American greatness, hope and opportunity, said President Trump,” Allison Elyse Gualtieri reports.

“Through his essential authenticity, disarming wit, and unwavering commitment to faith, family, and country, President Bush inspired generations of his fellow Americans to public service,” President Trump said in a statement.

2…………> Tariff Wars Cease Fire: Trump, Mr.Xi & Co

 

“China will agree to purchase a not yet agreed upon, but very substantial, amount of agricultural, energy, industrial, and other product from the United States to reduce the trade imbalance between our two countries,” White House Press Secretary Ms. Sarah Sanders said, adding that the two “partners” would “immediately begin negotiations on structural changes” around intellectual property protections, cybertheft, and other US priorities.

The White House says President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have reached a 90-day ceasefire agreement on new economic tariffs to allow for continuing trade negotiations, with Mr. Trump agreeing not to go ahead with new US tariffs on Chinese imports planned for January 1. European Union officials say the US was the main holdout on nearly every issue, including climate change.

Angela Merkel says “everyone agrees that the WTO should be reformed.

” The two met for dinner in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the end of the G20 meeting. Chinese state television reiterated that “no additional tariffs will be imposed after January 1, and negotiations between the two sides will continue”.

“This was an amazing and productive meeting with unlimited possibilities for both the United States and China. It is my great honor to be working with President Xi,” Mr. Trump said in a statement.

3…………> Ticking Bomb: The Kerch Incident

 

With Moscow backing the industrial heartlands in Eastern Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk have broken away and so began the long and bloody war that persists today, with the Russian government refusing to give-up what it considered its territory, Crimea.

The so-called “little green men invaded the strategically vital home to Russia’s Black Sea navy,” being well-armed soldiers with no markings.

The flashpoint between Russia and Ukraine over access from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov is remarkable in that it did not flare up years ago.

And that’s because the pinch point between the annexed Russian Crimea and the “motherland” known as the Kerch Strait is so loaded with political and military pressures that it’s surprising the clash we have just witnessed hasn’t happened before now.

2…………> Finally Back Home: A Tuskegee Pilot

 

The remains of one of the Tuskegee Airmen have been identified for the first time, at the site where Captain Lawrence Dickson’s plane crashed on the Italy-Austria border during a recon mission in 1944. An American team discovered the wreckage in 2012, and excavated the site five years later, using DNA of his daughter to identify his remains. He is the first of 27 Tuskegee Airmen who are listed as missing in action to be found. The 24-year-old captain in the 100th Fighter Squadron took off in his P-51 Mustang fighter plane from a base in Italy to conduct an aerial reconnaissance mission on December 23, 1944, and crashed when the engine failed, and the aircraft was seen crashing along the Italy-Austria border.

3…………> A Hero Passes Away: President George H.W. Bush

 

“George H.W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41’s life and love, for the compassion of those who cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens,” that’s how his son, former president George W. Bush remembered his father who passed away aged 94.

President Donald Trump also issued a statement eulogizing the former president.

Melania [Trump] and I join with a grieving Nation to mourn the loss of former President George H.W. Bush, who passed away last night. Our hearts ache with his loss, and we, with the American people, send our prayers to the entire Bush family, as we honor the life and legacy of 41.”

Family spokesman Jim McGrath confirmed his death in a brief statement but did not specify a cause.

4…………> French Revolution, Part 2: Down With Macron

 

“Yellowjackets will triumph about the fluorescent vests protesters wear,” a rebellious graffiti sprayed onto the Arc de Triomphe announced as 107 people were arrested protesting in a wave of anger about raising taxes in clashes with police in the Islamic Sheikdom of France.

This is the third straight weekend of violent uprising against the policies of the country’s president, Rabbinical Grand Ayatollah Emmanuel Macron, as furious citizens build barricades in the middle of streets in central Paris, lighting fires and throwing rocks at officers.

They initially began over increasing fuel tax hikes and have since expanded to include a broad range of demands related to the cost of living, with the Prime Minister saying more than 5,000 protesters were on and around the Champs-Elysees avenue, throwing large rocks and removing the barriers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, while others sang the national anthem.

Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting….

Billions of Dollars are pouring into the coffers of the U.S.A. because of the Tariffs being charged to China, and there is a long way to go. If companies don’t want to pay Tariffs, build in the U.S.A. Otherwise, lets just make our Country richer than ever before!

When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever? After wasting more than $40,000,000 (is that possible?), it has proven only one thing-there was NO Collusion with Russia. So Ridiculous!

Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime? At the same time Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren’t even looking at the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. A total disgrace!

General Motors is very counter to what other auto, and other, companies are doing. Big Steel is opening and renovating plants all over the country. Auto companies are pouring into the U.S., including BMW, which just announced a major new plant. The U.S.A. is booming!

So much happening with the now discredited Witch Hunt. This total Hoax will be studied for years!

2…………> No To Putin Provocation: Trump

 

President Donald Trump canceled a planned meeting with his Russian counterpart Friday on the margins of the upcoming G20 summit in Argentina, citing ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

“Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting in Argentina with President Vladimir Putin,” Trump said on Twitter.

Trump is still hoping for improved future bilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin, saying he looks “forward to a meaningful Summit again as soon as this situation is resolved!”

On Sunday, Russia seized two Ukrainian navy ships and a navy tugboat along with 23 crew members off the Crimea Peninsula, accusing Kiev of entering its waters and provoking conflict.

3…………> Las Vegas Cheat: Busted

 

The former president and CEO of MRI International Inc. (MRI), a purported investment company and medical collections business located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Tokyo, Japan, was convicted yesterday for his role in a $1.5 billion Ponzi scheme.

After a five-week jury trial before Chief Judge Gloria Navarro of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, Edwin Fujinaga, 72, of Las Vegas, was found guilty of eight counts of mail fraud, nine counts of wire fraud, and three counts of money laundering in connection with his Ponzi scheme. Sentencing is set for March 9, 2019.

The jury returned the guilty verdict in under three hours. Evidence presented during the trial showed that from 2000 until 2013, Fujinaga fraudulently solicited over $1 billion in investments in MRI from over 10,000 Japanese residents, who wired their funds from Japan to bank accounts in Las Vegas under Fujinaga’s control. Fujinaga spent less than two percent of investor funds to purchase medical claims. Instead, Fujinaga used the vast majority of new investors’ funds to pay off old investors.

4…………> Manafort Pardon: Trump

 

President Trump said a pardon for Paul Manafort is “not off the table,”  a statement that drew a furious rebuke from critics who fear the President will use his executive power to protect friends and supporters caught up in the Russia probe.

Paul Manafort was accused of breaching his plea deal by lying to Russia probe investigators, and his lawyers have been briefing Mr. Trump on the direction of the investigation, who has sharpened his attacks, seizing on what he claims are dirty tactics employed by the special counsel and accusing investigators of pressuring witnesses to lie, likening the Russia probe to Senator Joe McCarthy’s pursuit of alleged communists in the 1950s.

“We are in the McCarthy era. This is no better than McCarthy,” Mr. Trump told the newspaper.

When asked about a pardon for Mr. Manafort, Mr. Trump told the newspaper:

“It was never discussed, but I wouldn’t take it off the table.
