This documentary about capitalism and free enterprise was pretty good. It’s on Netflix.

I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
Impeachment Mania
Democrats in Congress are making themselves a laughingstock with yet another silly impeachment attempt. But it sets a terrible precedent that you use the impeachment process to go after your political opponent — a lesson not lost on the Republicans. Pity any president in the future whose opposition party controls both houses of Congress. When and if that happens, this politics by impeachment will come home to roost, and it may well be a Democrat who walks the plank.
NBA Caves to China
NBA caves to criticism from China over the Hong Kong civil disobedience. So much for striking the high note for liberty.
My question is where are all the left-wingers in the US when it comes to support for the protesters in Hong Kong? A yawning silence.
2020
Going to be a fascinating year from a political point of view. Fasten your seatbelts.
Impeachment
That the Dems are pushing for another impeachment exercise after the Russia-collusion fiasco just shows how bankrupt they really are.
Outlook
Dejection/elation — trust neither. Neither will last.
Electing a President
It’s often more about not electing the other guy (girl).
US/China Trade War
The Chinese are not going to be in any hurry to make concessions when next year is a presidential election year. Trump could just go away would be their thinking. But if Trump wins reelection, they would cave. So it will be interesting to see if China tries to meddle in our election, for they have a lot to lose if Trump wins.
Catnip for the Gullible
What the Democrats are selling. Just tax the rich, and everything is free for everyone else. Double duh. But people fall for this.
Democratic Party Platform
Everyone is a racist.
