Nation of Islam leader speaking truth to power once again.
The United States is clearly on the way down, and has been for several years, and will continue, regardless of who is President or what party is in control, without a radical alternation of course, which seems unlikely.
Trump is no doubt contributing to this, but, more importantly, he is a symptom of it.
In one respect, this decline is not a bad thing: it would be wonderful if the populations of all the nations of the world simultaneously lost their national allegiances, and decided not to study war any more. This isn't happening, of course, or at least not in the short or medium term. (Hopefully, if we survive, it will happen in the long term, and the era of separate nation-states will recede into the past. But we're talking centuries here.)
So ... keep your eye on China, on the way up. If they play their cards right, don't needlessly scare hell out of their neighbors, tell the naive liberals of the world what they want to hear, avoid a big war with anyone, they will be the dominant power on the planet within a couple of generations. They'll be the largest economy in the world within five or ten years, and their income per head of population will continue to grow and eventually overtake the US. (To see a preview of this, study the history of Singapore.) They'll buy themselves a military to match.
And as they grow, ask yourself: what would happen to a Chinese athlete who refused to honor the national flag, or a graduate of their military academy who openly boasted of his anti-Communism, or students at their universities who rioted because they didn't like what an invited speaker had to say?
And although they have deep contempt for backward uncivilized peoples (including us), they're not stupid enough to make '****hole' comments -- they're not going to import any Africans to China, but they're sure going to import the raw materials and labor power of Africans. So they'll mouth the right liberal pieties.
So ... urge your grandchildren to learn Mandarin.
the SOTU speech should be aired at 2x with Yakkity Sax playing in the background.
That's funny well it has become like a Benny hill Show. I really just home we don't get nothing serious to happen under this administration I mean like on a large scale.
Oh Trump u baby ��
I noticed Dick Cheney was giving Trump massive stink-eye. Go to about 1:02 in the clip to see for yourself.
Trump should just release the SOTU on a series of Tweets saving all of us a bunch of time.
Why? It's apart of his job. Don't like your job then quit.!
It would fufill the constitutional requirement and save a lot of time
