Could This Be Trump's Biggest Deal Yet?

President Donald Trump returned home from his highly anticipated summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore. Such a meeting seemed like fantasy just a few short months ago. Kim was testing nuclear weapons by firing them over the airspace of US allies Guam and Japan. President Trump responded with his now legendary "Fire and Fury" threats of nuclear destruction and boast of having a "bigger button" than Kim's. This sent a uneasiness throughout not only the Korean peninsula but global financial markets which feared a potential nuclear conflict. However such fears soon dissipated due to back channel diplomatic efforts by China and South Korea along with stifling economic UN sanctions which forced Kim to the table. The summit culminated with the signing of a vague non binding joint statement which included security guarantees and a commitment to end US-South Korea joint military exercises. The joint statement is intended to pave the way towards complete nuclear disarmament of North Korea. The summit as expected was met with skepticism and complaints from primarily the mainstream media pertaining to the lack of specifics and assurances the US received that Kim would denuclearize. President Trump's political unorthodoxy has certainly shaken up the status quo for better or for worse. However in this instance he has yielded results that have eluded US administrations for over two decades. Trump's rhetoric has signaled to the North Koreans that he is himself unpredictable. His pressure on the Chinese and crippling sanctions have choked off Kim's sources of hard currency-so much so that obtaining his favorite perks such as imported seafood and American liquor have been affected.

The North Koreans have made promises to abandon their nuclear program before. Only to renege and rehash tensions once again. The difference this time could be the youthful and isolated millennial Kim isn't as ideologically rigid as his father and grandfather- Kim Jung Il and Kim Il Sung who combined have ruled North Korea since 1945. The younger Kim has very few options but to pursue denuclearization to save his crumbling economy and salvage Chinese support. If the Trump administration can sustain the political and economic pressure and verify North Korea's compliance to disarmament this could very well be President Trump's best example yet of  'The Art of the Deal'.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a
