1…………> Today’s White House Tweets: President Trump

 

 2…………> Uncle Don Meets Nephews Jerry & Gavin: California Fires

.

“Now is a time to pull together for the people of California,” Governor Brown tweeted as he and his successor Gavin Newsom, both Democrats who have sparred with Mr. Trump over the wildfires, immigration, sanctuary cities and host of other liberal policies, met their sworn enemy to help thousands of people who are fighting relentless fires, death, and homelessness.

The Camp Fire, in northern California has killed at least 71 people, with more than 1,000 people are reported to be missing, although officials say that figure could fluctuate. Speaking in the town of Paradise, Mr. Trump described the scene as “sad to see” and revisited his disputed claim poor forest management was to blame.

“We do have to do management maintenance, and we’ll be working also with environmental groups, I think everyone’s seen the light,” he said.

“I don’t think we’ll have this again to this extent,” he added. Experts have pointed to the weather, climate change and population shifts as more significant causes of the wildfires.

4…………> Jews For Jesus: A Messianic Movement

.

As a Messianic Jew, Bob Mendelsohn has been wearing ‘Jews for Jesus’ slogan T-shirts since bell-bottoms were in fashion and because he views Jesus as the Messiah, not just for Christians, but for all people, including Jews. It’s a controversial belief and one that gained international attention a fortnight ago when US Vice-President Mike Pence invited a Messianic Jewish leader onstage during a rally for the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting victims. The Jewish Democratic Council of America condemned this decision, stating:

“So-called Messianic Jews are not a part of the Jewish community, and espouse views considered deeply offensive.”

Jesus was Jewish, but only Christians view him as the Messiah, and Hebrew scholars and philosophers argue Jesus is a ‘false messiah’ because he didn’t fulfill messianic prophecies, such as building the Third Temple in Israel and ushering in an era of peace.

1…………> Aussie, US In Danger: China Bubble Burst 

 

The Chinese yuan has just suffered its steepest monthly decline on record, down more than 20% since the recent peak in late January, now clearly in a now in bear territory, having lost 1.5% against the US dollar last week and is down about 3% over the past two weeks.

A weaker Chinese currency would soften the blows of higher US tariffs. 

The US-China trade conflict will ratchet up another notch this week as rhetoric transitions to action and the US imposes a 25% tariff on a narrow $US34 billion worth of imports, the threat targeting another $540 billion worth of goods should China retaliate is hanging over the markets. 

“A statement from the PBOC late on Thursday pledging [unspecified] support for the economy was a further step and it may have helped the yuan and Shanghai equities recover a little [on Friday],” Capital Economics chief Asian economist Mark Williams said. 


“If falls resume next week, more forceful intervention is likely, including foreign exchange sales and equity purchases by the ‘national team'”.

2…………> Child Soldiers: Islamic Sheikdom Of France

 

“They recruited and trained orphans, and then you also have the wives of ISIS [Daesh] militants whose children have been indoctrinated with the group’s ideology and who have been taught to hate the US-led coalition and Europe,” said the French jihadist Jonathan Geffroy who was captured by the Free Syrian Army as he tried to flee the war-torn country with his wife and two children. 

He was quoted by Le Monde as saying that the terrorist group planned to use children in order “to carry out suicide missions” in Europe, having been in the know of “future external operations” promulgated “by children who grew up in the area and who, after adolescence, will be sent to the West, to Europe.” 


The child soldier plan is a brainchild of the Clain brothers, the highest-ranking French members of Daesh, who engineered the deadly November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris. 

 

 

 

3…………> “I Better Shop Around”: Trump’s Nafta Deal

 

“NAFTA, I could sign it tomorrow, but I’m not happy with it. I want to make it fairer, okay? I want to wait until after the election. You’re going to have an election. I think it’ll be very interesting. I think it’s going to be fine,” President Trump said about the current political reality.

He wants to wait until after the midterm elections in November to sign a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico.

Calling NAFTA as “the worst deal ever” during his campaign and presidency, he requested the agreement to be renegotiated in order to make it “fair” for his country, with the aim of reducing the U.S. trade deficit.

However, Trump imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports of the U.S. in March has strained relations between the three countries.

Canada responded to the U.S. on Friday by imposing $12.6 billion in retaliatory tariffs against American products that will take effect on Sunday.

5…………> Mexico vs The US: Border Wars 

 

Mexico’s richest man and entrepreneur Carlos Slim did not take President  Trump’s ” Make America Great” plan seriously when took office in Washington:

 “Even for building a wall you need Mexican workers,” he quipped when he heard the specifics of Mr.Trump border visions.

This careless attitude has vanished since, as President Trump has relentlessly humiliated the US’s southern neighbor not just during his campaign, but also during his first year in office.

“Even before his victory, Trump accused Mexico of sending criminals, rapists and drug dealers to the US, and he has stuck with this position,” Washington-based Mexican journalist Gregorio Meraz tells DW.

“His approval ratings went down after the separation of children and parents at the border,” Meraz says. “But he did it to put the Democrats under pressure so they would agree to tighter immigration laws and approve 25 billion dollars for the border wall.”
