Trump and Putin’s Upcoming Summit

News flash:
On July 3rd, 2018, Scott Dworkin, Co-founder of “The Democratic Coalition” and the #DworkinReport, tweeted: “Trump is planning on meeting with Putin without aides before their summit. This makes it a lot easier for them to collude even more for the 2018 election. Republicans cannot hold on to the House and the Senate without Russia’s help. And they all know it. Bunch of damn traitors.”

So Trump is to meet up with Putin mano a mano, up close and personal, without a third party to interfere with their flagrante delicto.

Holy Jiminy Cricket! That means that lying sprouting-nose Pinocchio Trump is now answering the summon of his maker & puppeteer Putin, who will formally turn him into his real boy toy. There goes my celebration of #IndependenceDay2018.

Remember our nation's #independence was won out of our #Resistance to foreign influence & control. Hopefully, this November the #BlueWave2018 and #ImpeachTrump will be cause for our real celebration of #IndependenceDay2018. #Resist!!!

Star River Night (My attempt at Chinese poetry)

星河夜

斜陽西落別彩霞
燈火螢點照人家
一碧銀河浮天際
猶似春流飄浪花

(English translation :)
The westward sloping sun bids the colorful clouds farewell,
(Only by) The lamps’ light and flashing fireflies reveal the presence of human dwellings;
A (swath of) silver river floats above the blue horizon,
Just like its foamy sprays flutter upon a spring stream.

A Tale of Two Republican Presidents: Ronald Reagan and Donald J. Trump

Although both belong to the trickle-down school of economics, their similarity ends there, Trump and Reagan can be any more different. Reagan was a staunch anti-communist, anti-Soviet Russian hegemony crusader. Trump is a Putin-Russian hegemony colluding stooge.

Trump famously called on the Soviet leader, while giving a speech near the now defunct Berlin Wall: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Trump foolhardily continues to call for a U.S.-Mexican Border Wall. A wall to rival the Great Wall of China, if not in strength but in length, Mr. Trump? This serves little purpose but gives our enemies and detractors a pretext and rallying cry: "Uncle Sam, tear down this wall!" It's outright unneighborly, in this case, a good fence doesn't make good neighbors to our south.

Reagan was held captive by an arcane policy of supply-side economics and the Iran-Contra scandal. Trump is allegedly held hostage by Putin Russian complicity in our 2016 presidential election and a pee-pee tape showing a hooker giving Trump a “golden shower” in a St. Petersburg hotel. If proven true, this is not a kind of "show and tell" you want your kids to do in their history class but in the trash heap of our national saga or for the future Trump Presidential Library, if there is going to be one. Because Trump is known to detest reading and books, the only type of properties, the intellectual kind, he manages to fail bigly to develop any, if at all. But it is a fitting legacy to the Trump presidency, whose 2016 candidacy was never fully vetted for the voting public, but now, ironically, only to be fully vetted, uh . . . wetted by a working girl in a Russian hotel. What a tale to tell in dallying, imbibed and imbued company!

Reagan, although twice married, was a faithful husband to Nancy, a model of modesty. Trump, thrice married, is a cavorting husband of playmate and porn-star to his current trophy wife, Melania, a former model of nudity. So much for Republican family values and Christian right righteousness.

Reagan was a real actor who stayed in character of a U.S. president and followed the script to the crossing of every T, steadfast and solid. Trump was just a mere third rate reality TV star, who stays in character of an apprentice in the White House, but often strays off scripts, or makes up scripts of falsehood or unreality to a stream of pee. Feeble and exposed.

Despite Trump's personality faults, moral defects and intellectual flaws, some GOP (and some people, victims of Reaganomics) still support him because he is an extremely rare breed of demagogue who was able to grab the rein of power at our nation's highest office and whom they can call one of their own: by the “Koch brothers-Carl Icahn” oligarchs, the "Last Great White Hope" white supremacists, the “religion, social class and gender” bigots, the "America über alles" ultra-nationalists, and the “pro-land development, pro off-shore oil-drilling, climate change denying and anti-conservation” conservatives.

A Tribute to Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking, you were a giant star that illuminated a far dark corner of our universe and brought to light our further understanding of its many deep mysteries.

He is a testimony to the enduring spirit of human courage and aspiration. He defied all odds and outlived some 50 more years after a diagnosis of ALS, a debilitating nervous degenerative disease at the age of 22. He refused to allow the restriction of his freedom of movement imposed by physical disability to limit the expanding scope of his mental ability to wander among the galaxies. All the while, he maintained his sense of humor and his enthusiasm and love of life. For all these, thank you, Stephen Hawking, Rest in Peace among the stars.

P.S. Some interesting facts about Stephen Hawking: he was born on the 300th anniversary of the death of Galileo Galilei and died on the 200th anniversary of Albert Einstein's birthday. I don’t mean to make a mountain out of a molehill, uh . . . in this case a galaxy out of our meager solar system. But it does beg the question: is there some truth to the claim of a sentient and conscious universe (aka panpsychism) as proponed by some scientists and physicists, an order in this seemingly random, chaotic universe after all?

The Trump’s Border Wall, aka Trump’s Folly

Unlike grandma's nightgown, but similar to Donald Trump's own hair, the proposed Trump’s Border Wall doesn't cover everything. It'll never be built high enough, dug deep enough below ground or extended far out beyond our border coastline to be effective. They can always get in by air, sea and underground tunnels. When there is a will, there is a way in. Even grandma’s Victorian-style nightgown will not cover all that, Donald.

It Donald succeeds, it will become a National Monument Of Shame, and unlike the Stalin’s "Iron Curtain", it will be a porous Orange Curtain, like his hairpiece. It will be ugly symbol for America and a rallying cry for people south of our border and our detractors all over the world: “Uncle Sam, Tear down that wall!" It's Déjà Vu, Berlin Wall and Ronald Reagan’s aphorism all over again. Except this time, the ball is in our court, uh . . . turf, it will be a mulligan Donald Trump will never be able to pull off.

Like China’s Great Wall or the Roman Hadrian’s Wall in Britain, it will never be able to fulfill its promised promise, keeping outsiders out, only to keep divisiveness and xenophobia in. Like the Hadrian’s Wall, this wall will have Trump’s name attached to it, the Trump Wall, not in the same proud vein as his Trump Tower in New York. In an ironical twist, Trump demolished some national monuments by executive orders only to build another monument of infamy to himself. It will be etched in our collective memory long after Donald Trump or even the Wall is gone. Sic semper tyrannis!

That $25 billion of' proposed wall money, footed by U. S. taxpayers, not Mexico, as Trump insists, are better served to repair our crumbling infrastructures, which are still salvageable, unlike Trump's hair. If his wall of thwarted dreams . . . uh nightmares, crumbles, it will be known as the Trump’s Folly and relegated to the trash heap of history.
