the US Navy has identified two possibly very large illegal alien detention facilities in that state.
This has gotten local politicians – who are unalterably opposed to the current Administration’s policies towards illegal aliens – frothing at the mouth.

And my MS econ thesis is becoming truth…written in 2000…I’ll have to dig out a copy and post it. IRS about the EU coming unwound
@ coldwarrior:
and the fallout is going to be TREMENDOUS. Can’t wait to see your thesis.
Busy day but while taking my lunch break stumbled across this. Can’t speak to the historical analysis, maybe it won’t stand up but…….
The 1,500-Year-Old Love Story Between a Persian Prince and a Korean Princess that Could Rewrite History
More than a thousand years before the first European explorer reached Korea’s shores, the Persian Empire was writing love stories about Korean princesses.
It’s a little-known story that could change the way we see our history. Recently, historians took a second look an old Persian epic written around 500 AD and realized that, at the center of the tale, was the unusual story of a Persian prince marrying a Korean princess

China is a production-based economic model, they do not have the ability, or wealth, to consume their own durable goods production; they rely on exports.
The U.S. is a more balanced economy; we consume 80% of our own production. We are self-sustaining, China is not.
Without a market to sell their products, the Chinese economy cannot survive
hmmm……
@ coldwarrior:
Huh? Sounds good.
A couple of recipes I have call for chipotle peppers in adobo, and I like to use the better canned ones so that I can save the adobo sauce they come in.
That stuff is fire!
@ rain of lead:
Export driven econ model is a tried and true failure over and over again.
Like I said, we taught the Chinese just enough about econ for them to hang themselves…and, central banking is war by other means.

The next brick in the wall to fall will probably be Italy. That would leave the EU so denuded of income that the smaller economies would begin to peel away. No doubt there will be an attempt to form a core NW European group but that will come to nothing as well. Too little too late. The Fourth Reich is falling.
@ eaglesoars:
Actually the ‘Red Hen’ is not the only place that has politicised eating and drinking.
There is a village in Italy called Luce where there is a Fascist bar at the end of the town and at the other end these is a Communist bar. I visited both. The Communist bar has the best wine list but the Fascist bar trumps the common when it comes to the menu. The town’s folk only drink and eat at their own political bar. Tye Fascists however have an added tourist attraction. The large tree outside the bar where the Fascists hanged a few local communists 75 years ago.
It seems like only yesterday to the locals of both extremes.
The US appears to be headed in the same divided direction. Tribalism substituting for argument.
Sad as it’s a wonderful piece of Tuscany

Good.morning. Maxine gets a taste of her own medicine from Laura Loomer, and she doesn’t like it.
She also gets an assault suit filed against her. Karma is a bitch.

The DNC is already in debt. And they’ve just lost a good deal of money from a reliable donor
OFF THE RECORD: Just had a brief text chat with someone who says their sources claim that 20% of public employee union members will leave in the wake of Janus v. AFSCME. That would be a significant hit to the unions’ pocketbooks, but the bigger hit will come later, as new employees simply refuse to join up in the first place.

rush was hypothesizing that the libs would try to prevent Trump nominating anyone because he could be indicted. I was thinking from the other direction. Mueller may drop what he thinks is a bomb to completely discredit him.

I believe you’re referring to the Scott Walker thing. Yeah. Believe it or not, I’m not sure some of the states would want Right to Work to go national. Virginia, for example, uses it as a club to win companies who are looking to relocate to the D.C. area away from Maryland, etc. It’s a distinct advantage they might not want to lose.

@ yenta-fada:
his gov’t wants to try him out as a possible peace negotiator (I think they looked at Jared Kushner and thought “hmmm, who we got?”). He’s been there for several days, since the 24th. He started out in Jordan, then went to Jerusalem. There was some bruhaha when his official itinerary was released and it referred to his Jersualem stop as ‘occupied territory’. I think they got that cleared up. I don’t think he went to the Western Wall, but I’m pretty sure he did Yad Vashem because his grandfather’s aunt – or mother? was named a Righteous Gentile.

London is full of rich Arabs. I don’t think the Royals understand the REAL mentality of islam. They only know the obscenely wealthy ones who
appear to live like Westerners. You cannot make peace with people who want their kids to become martyrs for the moon god. (and for a nice little monthly stipend for the family if the kid blows up Jews.)
It is naïve at best. After the debacle with Diana, I’m sure they have Public Relations people on speed dial. The Middle East is far too dangerous for the Royals to try & score stature points.
yenta-fada wrote:
I don’t think the Royals are trying to score points. I think Trump has put everybody on their heels with his rapprochement w/the Magic Kingdom, Britain is trying to establish a post-Brexit identity, and if there’s anything the Arabs understand, it’s monarchy. Besides, THE SUEZ!! The Royals can’t pee on the grass w/o the permission of Parliament, William is doing what he’s told/asked to do.

Certainly this is not something William chose. That’s a good point about life post Brexit. England is on its way towards Sharia law. imo better to balance the Throne & the Crescent at home than to mess around in far flung muzz countries. The Royals struggle to stay relevant, especially with Charles next up at bat.

Stewart? (Stuart, actually). The current line is Saxe-Coburg Gotha. They are German. The current queen’s grandfather changed it to Windsor at the outbreak of WW I. The current queen had a fight on her hands w/her husband to not change it to Mountbatten (a woman being expected to take the surname of her husband and Phillip was a bit of a prig about it). Mountbatten had been anglicized from the German Battenberg. They came to some sort of compromise that (I think) says anyone in line for the throne retains Windsor, everybody else gets Mountbatten.
Jim Jordan is on Hannity saying that Stzrok’s testimony was a total dodge.

I’m confused. Yesterday the Atlanta Fed came out w/2Q predictions of over 4% GDP, now 1St Q numbers are final and it’s TWO PERCENT. Maria has Greenspan on and altho I can’t understand everything he’s saying (weak voice) he seems to be predicting around 1% in 2019-20 and it has something to do w/demographics.

Do you recall when Reagan pushed ‘Star Wars’ and people went batshit because they swore the technology wouldn’t work and it was expensive as hell? Well, that wasn’t Reagan’s real goal. His real goal was to bait the USSR into trying to keep up – which they had to do, politically – because he knew it would bust them economically. Which it did.
This is what Trump is doing only the target is – China. They’ve been mucking around up there for awhile and he just changed the game. Also, space really is the next frontier (altho somebody is paying attention to the oceans, I hope)
