Trumps: BEGIN STANDARD TWO WEEK QUARANTINE JUST LIKE WE DID IN OUR HOME LAST MONTH

 

“Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately,” Trump tweeted just before 1 a.m. “We will get through this TOGETHER!”

The fact that President Trump and the First Lady have just tested positive for COVID-19 coronavirus may just be the best thing that could happen to his campaign. It is an excellent opportunity to show America and the world that that overwhelming number of people who get coronavirus get through it just fine with little to no symptoms at all.

Last month in my house, my son was diagnosed with COVID-19 coronavirus, and for a time he lost his sense of taste and smell, other than that he had no symptoms at all. My daughter and I, who obviously live in very close proximity with him, did not develop coronavirus even after being tested 3 times. After roughly two weeks, my son was tested one last time and that test came back negative. In St. Johns County in Florida where we live, there has been 5,423 cases to date, and 70 people have died, that is a 98.8% recovery rate. Those numbers to me are comforting, not terrifying, and they should be to you as well.

The main stream media enemies of President Trump, I am sure, will use this opportunity to bash him incessantly over the next 24 hours news cycle, but they should be careful because this could likely backfire on them. Now that President Trump and the First Lady have tested positive, he has a unique opportunity to personally demonstrate that COVID-19 coronavirus is not a fear-laden death sentence, and that will give hope to millions of people. That, of course, will drive the radical Left who wish for his death on a daily basis to the brink of insanity. Try as they might, they just can’t seem to stop the Trump Train.

Our prayers are with you, Mr. President and First Lady, for a quick and complete recovery just like my son had. - G. Grider

Our two youngest children were unknowingly exposed to their friend who was asymptomatic with Covid-19. They had been  invited to his last-minute h.s. graduation party.  No masks were worn during the 5+ hour event. They ate together; and daughter even soaked and swam in the pool with Nathan. Of course,  final goodbyes were accompanied with hugs.  Yet, neither of our kids  (and none of the other Guests) came down with Corona, thank God.  - RRE

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; 

save me, and I shall be saved:

 for thou art my praise. (Jeremiah 17:14)

Old, But Not Yet Senile nor Sleepy

LoL!!

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment,.

The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days."

The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."

The older lady said that she was right our generation didn't have the "green thing" in its day. The older lady went on to explain: Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.

pc: wikipedia

But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day. Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.

But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then. We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day.

Back then we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days.

Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.

pc: tvsets.org

Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana.

In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us.

When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power.

We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then.

pc: by H. Armstrong Roberts/ClassicStock

We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blade in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the "green thing" back then.

Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the "green thing."

We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.

pc: Schwinn

But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then?

Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart ass young person. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off... Especially from a tattooed, multiple pierced smart-ass who can't make change without the cash register telling them how much.

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:32 )

USMCA: Canada Has the Ball in its Corner

In June 2019, Mexico became the first country to ratify the deal. On January 29, 2020, President  officially signed the USMCA. Now, it's your turn, Canada. Get a move on! It will take another 90 days after all 3 countries have signed the deal for it to take effect.

Here is a review of what's in the USMCA, courtesy of V O X

Here’s a brief overview of what’s in it:

• Country of origin rules: Automobiles must have 75 percent of their components manufactured in Mexico, the US, or Canada to qualify for zero tariffs (up from 62.5 percent under NAFTA).
• Labor provisions: 40 to 45 percent of automobile parts must be made by workers who earn at least $16 an hour by 2023. Mexico agreed to pass new labor laws to give greater protections to workers, including migrants and women. Most notably, these laws are supposed to make it easier for Mexican workers to unionize.
• US farmers get more access to the Canadian dairy market: The US got Canada to open up its dairy market to US farmers, a big issue for Trump.
• Intellectual property and digital trade: The deal extends the terms of copyright to 70 years beyond the life of the author (up from 50). It also includes new provisions to deal with the digital economy, such as prohibiting duties on things like music and ebooks, and protections for internet companies so they’re not liable for content their users produce.
• Sunset clause: The agreement adds a 16-year sunset clause — meaning the terms of the agreement expire, or “sunset,” after 16 years. The deal is also subject to a review every six years, at which point the US, Mexico, and Canada can decide to extend the USMCA.

Survey Winner: Best Luxury Hotel in the World

Although Donald Trump’s presidency has brought a lot of controversy and disagreements among the American people, it seems there is one thing that luxury travelers all agree on. The Trump Organization runs a good hotel. According to voters in an exclusive luxury travel magazine, the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan was voted the best hotel in the world, beating out other great locations including those in the Middle East.

Donald Trump’s NYC Hotel Was Just Voted The Best In The Entire World - AWM American Web Media

The property, which overlooks the southwestern corner of Central Park, narrow beat out the amazing  Vatuvara Private Island in Fiji that has entertained guests including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. That Pacific Island resort was named the second-best hotel in the world.

pc: AWB

The reader survey that asked well-traveled people to rate their “travel experience” at certain locations resulted in the Trump Organization property being labeled the “best hotel in the world.”

The second-place winner was the resort in Fiji while third place went to the immaculate Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, which won the best luxury location in the world in the same survey last year.

pc: Vatuvara

Other top rated places include the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, which placed fourth and the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort, which took fifth place.

According to Daily Mail, the remaining properties on the list were Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas (sixth); The Langham, Sydney, Australia (seventh); The Dorchester, London (eighth); Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C. (ninth) and The Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois, Basel, in Switzerland (10th).

pc: Emirates Palace

The magazine is based in the United Kingdom and features readers who love shelling out thousands of dollars for luxury travel. They’re among the best-traveled people around the globe.

According to Trump’s winning hotel’s website: “At Trump International Hotel & Tower, we are renowned for our iconic building, unparalleled views, and luxurious amenities. The newly designed guest rooms, suites, and hallways create an ultra sophisticated ambiance capturing the hotel’s vibrant New York City location. Offering a more contemporary look, the design is inspired by our view of the Central Park, and the energy of Columbus Circle. From your first step off the elevator, the woven wooden wall, sparkling crystal chandeliers, and custom wall sconces create a youthful elegance. Walls are covered with a soft gray palette and crisp white crown molding. Fabrics were selected in a variety of textures to stimulate the sensorial experience. Discover the design elements that reflect a youthful, energetic, and luxurious new experience at Trump International Hotel & Tower New York!”

While Trump’s politics are often in question, the fact that this hotel is great is not. Without a doubt, international travelers respect this New York hotel and recognize it as one of the best in the world. This year it took home the top spot, which was a mighty honor for the hotel based beside Central Park.

Trump International Hotel, Chicago

Editor-in-chief of Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, Nick Gibbens, “‘He clearly divides opinion on a political level, but there is no question about it, Trump is a master hotelier. He understands what super luxury is all about and delivers the very best experience possible, usually exceeding expectations.”

I Benefited From a Stop at the Trump International Hotel, Chicago

Trump Hotel:  I'd admired the Hotel from afar. Now, we were finally inside its lobby.  I found it surprisingly low-key as far as the presence of uniformed security personnel, but my friend pointed to the many security cameras overhead. 

We had gone inside for a badly-needed toilet break.

 Across from the co-ed bathroom stood a man -- the only uniformed "security" that I saw.  He may have only been a Bellboy (a kindly one at that) whose  main duty, said he, was to make certain "everything was all right".  My gut feeling was that he mainly watches for homeless people who take advantage of said accessible bathroom. 

Feeling much-relief after our comfort-room visit, I blessed Mr Trump. I was convinced more than ever that not only is he good for the American people nationally, he is also beneficial on a more personal level, LoL.

To anyone who lives in the outskirts of a big city such as Chicago, go and visit at least once a year. You may feel as invigorated and appreciative afterwards as we did. 

We went on a water taxi tour @ approximately 9:00 pm for a back-and-forth trip on the  Chicago River which ended with fireworks by Navy Pier.  Nice. Chicago is beautiful.  What a skyline!  What a lively Chicago River night-life! We have plans to return, Lord willing; and now have even better ideas as to where to take visiting Guests.

There is a river, the streams whereof 

shall make glad the city of God, 

the holy place of the tabernacles

 of the most High.

ATTEMPTED STABBING OF US MARINE VET BY ANTIFA

 Members of ANTIFA groups need to be required by law to wear no masks nor hide their identity by any other means.

Every time you wade into a crowd or don a concealing garment, you risk deindividuation, and it often brings out the worst in you. When you step back and see yourself as the perpetrator, you act as though your reputation and position in society is at stake. When you have no identity, when you are nameless, faceless and free from retribution, the chains of inhibition fall from your brain.

I like this gutsy gal!  Never heard of her before Mr Trump's election, but I and many more have heard of her by now.

Singer & Trump Supporter Joy Villa Donned a Brilliant Pro-Life Dress Sure to Tick Off Every Leftist at Daytime Emmys - by C Douglas Golden, Conservative Tribune

When it comes to conservative performance art, Joy Villa’s red carpet appearances are a thing of genius.

It all began with her “Make America Great Again” dress at the Grammys in February 2017. That’s when the Trump-fueled outrage of the left was still election-fresh and the merest fact that she had the courage to show support for the new president created a hue and cry unlike any other in Hollywood. You could hear the gnashing of dental implants and the rending of Issey Miyake originals.

And among conservatives, we were all, like, “well done.”

Villa didn’t stop the trigger-fest there, however. Some of her more recent fashion statements have not only been pro-Trump but have also been in support of the unborn, another issue that gives Tinseltown a collective case of hypertension.

And, at the 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday in Pasadena, Villa sent a few sphygmomanometers off the charts.

Video: Pastor Andrew Brunson Speaks of God's Silence & Abandonment

Recently released from a Turkish prison, Pastor Andrew Craig Brunson, paid a visit to his Alma Mater, Wheaton College, Illinois. 

 He spoke at Chapel Service and admits to being human and weak; in need of the grace of God daily like the rest of us. God was seemingly silent. Mr Brunson wept in his prison cell often and was on anti-anxiety meds.  He even wanted to die.  Establishing a Christian church in a Muslim country felt like a cakewalk compared to his lowest points while imprisoned.

he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

USA & China Trade War: March 1 Deadline Approaches

In addition to my kitchen renovation, with bated breath we are all awaiting  the results of meetings on the US trade war with China. I get an update on the situation thru snippets of news and the daily stock market levels. I am praying for God's help in this situation.  To me, it's all about fairness on either side. However, China is a fierce force to be reckoned with. May President Trump never forget  - RRE

U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to more than double American tariffs on Chinese goods if an agreement isn’t reached by March 1 would escalate a bruising trade war that’s shaken the world economy and caused companies to reconfigure their supply chains. - Bloomberg.com

1. What’s so important about March 1?

That’s the end of a 90-day truce that Trump and China’s Xi Jinping agreed toin December. The U.S. agreed then to delay a planned increase, to 25 percent from 10 percent, in tariffs on almost half the goods the U.S. buys from China, worth some $200 billion. American and Chinese officials have been negotiating since then. With Trump and Xi both reporting progress, Trump is said to be considering pushing back the deadline by 60 days.

2. How else might this escalate?

If Trump goes forward with the higher 25 percent tariffs, China could reply with countermeasures, and that could prompt Trump to follow through on threats to slap duties on a further $267 billion of goods.

 Photographer: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg

3. What’s the risk for the U.S.?

American shoppers have been mostly insulated from the trade war, since inflation remains tame and the tariffs haven’t hit staples like clothing, footwear and toys. That could change. A January report by Bank of AmericaCorp. analysts said any escalation of the trade war “would be much more painful” for the U.S., triggering renewed market volatility and undermining investor confidence.

4. What’s the risk for China?

An escalation would deepen the slowdown in economic growth and raise pressure on the government to respond with higher public spending. That would likely be funded by debt, undermining the government’s quest to reduce the country’s heavy debt burden. Bloomberg Economics estimates China would avoid a 0.3 percent drag on 2019 gross domestic product if the trade truce holds. Their base case -- assuming an escalation is avoided -- is for economic growth in China to slow to 6.2 percent in 2019, down from 6.6 percent in 2018.

5. What are the sticking points to a deal?

Enforcement, intellectual-property protection and technology. Trump has pledged that any deal will contain “strong enforcement language,’’ yet his aides are still figuring out what that should be -- and how to get China to sign off. The World Trade Organization is one possible arena for policing a deal, but the U.S. administration has shown little patience for it. It’s tough to see what the Chinese side will agree to beyond promises to buy more U.S. goods, given their denials regarding forced technology transfers or other alleged misbehavior. (The widening U.S. government crackdown on Huawei Technologies Co., a Chinese telecommunications giant, underscores the challenge.) The two sides were said to remain far apart on structural reforms to China’s economy that the U.S. has requested.

6. Why are we in a trade war?

Trump routinely points to the large U.S. trade deficit, the difference between imports and exports, as a symbol of a declining manufacturing base and the loss of American might. He aims to reduce the goods-and-services gap with China, which totaled $566 billion in 2017, by both browbeating and enticing U.S. companies to import less and export more. In addition to goods from China he’s imposed tariffs (which act like a tax on imports) on steel and aluminum from countries including allies Canada, Mexico and the European Union.

7. Will Trump’s strategy work?

It depends on who blinks first. China has agreed in principle to increase imports of U.S. agricultural products, along with energy, industrial products and services as part of a path to eliminate its U.S. trade imbalance. That promise might form the basis of a preliminary agreement, though the tariffs may stay in place while the two sides work out differences in tougher issues such as the heavy involvement of the state in China’s economy. Trump’s threat to abandon the North American Free Trade Agreement prompted Canada and Mexico, the two other signatories of that treaty, to agree to revisions. Tariffs on metals and threatened duties on cars had the EU and Japan also looking to deal.

8. What’s been the impact so far?

Investors and executives routinely cite the trade war between the world’s two biggest economies as one of the biggest threats to all kinds of businesses. The International Monetary Fund, cutting its forecast for the world economy for the second time in three months due in part to trade tensions, said in January that global growth would be 3.5 percent in 2019. Meanwhile the U.S. trade deficit widened in 2018, partly because the stronger dollar made U.S. exports pricier.

9. What are companies saying?

It depends on what you sell. Apple, Starbucks, Volkswagen and FedEx are among those to have cited a slowing Chinese economy in their outlooks. More than 400 publicly traded Chinese companies warned on their earnings. While the trade war is only one factor that’s weighing on demand -- weakness in Europe and the impact of fading U.S. fiscal stimulus are others -- it’s probably the issue that most concerns executives. Some are even looking at uprooting their supply chain. Some businesses in Southeast Asia expect China’s pain to be their exporting gain. Metals tariffs have helped producers with American plants, such as ArcelorMittal, U.S. Steel and Nucor. They’re charging higher prices, and some have reopened shuttered sites. But some U.S. business groups say the tariffs and retaliatory duties have hurt American industry, farmers and workers.
