America is lost...

The combined net worth of all millionaires in the US is approximately $26 trillion. Our national debt is $35 trillion. The democrat "Paying their fair share" argument is pure stupidity.

But, but, but, but, but....

Think of that rude person at meal gatherings that "takes more than his fair share" of some choice item, or "gets seconds" before everybody had "gotten firsts." Is that person admired or sneered at?

Now that's some kitchen table economics right there!

Hmmmmmmm. I'm feeling kind of burned out coding all day. Say Ping Ping, come over here and give me a lap dance, that will get me going full speed again!

I couldn't possibly foresee any HR problems from having these Chinese cheerleaders in the office...

(By the way, the Caucasian women in the office will ABSOLUTELY HATE THEM! So will the Black ladies. You can bank on it...)
 
Chairman Deng at a Houston area rodeo:

Chairman Deng liked Houston so much, he set the wheels in motion to ultimately send Houston this guy:

Chairman Deng was no pussycat. He was with Mao in that great march, and participated in massive genocides like the "great leap forward" (off a cliff...).

However, Deng was smart enough and not-too-stubborn to recognize that strict Marxist/Socialist economics simply did not work. So he set about to phase in market reforms. He's one of the World's most important men in the 2nd half of the 20th Century.

Also, unlike those who have followed, including Xi, I think Deng actually liked America and Americans. He certainly liked Houston and Texas cowgirls.
 
Much of China's paranoia goes back to the Opium Wars.

2 of the biggest American families who made the equivalent of Billions of dollars in the "China Trade" (illegal Opium trade in China):

The Delanos (FDR's people on his mother's side)
The Forbes (John Kerry's people)

Can't judge them though. The temptation with THAT kind of money for the easy taking... (and not violating any AMERICAN law). Must have been extremely hard to resist. Just remember, Northern "old wealth" is every bit as dirty as Southern "old wealth."

this is friggin crazy. there are only about 140K muslims in Minnesota (pop. 5.7Mil) and about half live in Minneapolis. How did their policies get so hi-jacked by such a small contingent?

There is research on this. You need only need control of ~10% population to drive sentiment. The key is to be as unyielding as possible.
 
Maybe America is not lost.... yet
From NBC
"Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood on Florida's Atlantic Coast said he's tired of the hoaxes targeting students, disrupting schools and sapping law enforcement resources.
Since parents, you don’t want to raise your kids, I’m going to start raising them," Chitwood said. "Every time we make an arrest, your kid’s photo is going to be put out there. And if I can do it, I’m going to perp walk your kid so that everybody can see what your kid’s up to.”

Chitwood made the announcement in a video highlighting the arrest of an 11-year-boy who was taken into custody for allegedly threatening to carry out a school shooting at Creekside or Silver Sands Middle School in Volusia County. Chitwood posted the boy's full name and mugshot to his Facebook page.
