For New Beginnings:
While
there has been a fair amount of restrained
jubilation from military and geopolitical experts about the results of the
Summit, there are greater concerns among Pentagon leaders and their advisers about
the pursuit of a geographic advantage by China and to a lesser respect Russia.
If you look at the undernews, you will notice that both of those huge countries
are establishing beachheads around the world and building bigger navies and greater
forces to defend them. And, that neutralizing NK’s Nukes has been a nice gift
to China, in addition to securing the hope for peace for SK and the world at large.
In other words, there’s always something.

The
decision that let the AT&T /Times Warner deal go through
is momentous. Expect mega mergers to boom for the remainder of the year. This will
be especially true of vertical mergers, that is merging two or more noncompetitive
companies that only add to the overall strength of the company but not detracting
from direct. Competition. Interestingly, this vertical concept acceptance could
be a problem for Sprint and T-Mobile who want to merge horizontally but have
been stymied because of the competitive thing. But the fact is that for real competition
in an industry dominated by AT&T ad Verizon, that merger should be allowed.

What
I heard loud and clear after the summit: North Korea would
be a lovely place for condos!” There has to be a greater hope for the world than
more stinking condos.

not rising”.
Speaking
of staying alive, I can take or not take BBQ sauced
stuff. Frankly I worry about the amount of sugar. So, everything in life boils
down to options. If BBQ and cake with butter cream icing are on the menu, I pick
the cake.
Regardless
of what you think about Trump, I’m now thinking that
Pompeo looks like the perfect choice for pursuing peace on the Korean peninsula.

Haley for President.
Years
ago, companies used to integrate vertically to control
their own destiny. For instance, Ford at one time wanted to build their own
steel mills, rubber plantations, textile mills and specialty parts company factories,
and not rely on suppliers. That will never happen again unless we can get
beyond the “Knowledge Economy” which pretty much reviles cumbersome in-house manufacturing.
I
don’t know how the new economies will work, but it seems like
humans will be borrowing money from robots to buy products to keep robots busy in
factories. Or, perhaps the companies will forced to send Big Government all of
the lost wages represented by robot replacement to provide income for humans
who will be buying condominiums in North Korea.
The
volatile first quarter for stocks could be in the rear-view
mirror.
Lemme
see,
the Repubs tend to preach family values and yet a pimp, brothel owner, HBO
adult reality star wins the Nevada primary for government. Silly me, and I
thought the pendulum was swinging back towards human decency.
Wow!
It looks like Giuliani is needing a new divorce attorney,
as separated wife says the was playing around with a New Hampshire Hospital administrator
before they split. Maybe DT will vouch for him.
Expect
to see Mark Sanford hiking the Appalachian Trial looking for
Argentina. If, you get my drift.
You
just have to think, that somewhere in the hearts of some
CNN newspeople they are getting tired of having to be so one sided in their
commentary. You just have to believe that it is impossible for humans not be so
hostile to daily happenings and accomplishments that clearly have two sides.

NBA Stars make a lot of money. MLB and NFL players can
be up there too. But, world soccer players seem to be the big winners in the sports
income sweepstakes. At the top is Argentina’s Lionel Messi making $111 Million/year.
Next is Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal at $108M. The rest are Brazil’s Neymar at
$90M, France’s Paul Pogba at $29.5 M and Oscar of Brazil at $27M. Now we’re
down in NFL QB, MLB Pitcher or NBA scorer land.
The
Answer:
George HW Bush turned 94 yesterday making him the
first president who ever lived that long. He is followed yy still living Jimmy
Carter who is currently 93 and close to turning 94. Ronald Reagan and Gerald
Ford birth died at 93. John Adams lived 90 years as did Herbert Hoover. Next at
88 is Harry Truman followed at 85 by James Madison, 83 by Thomas Jefferson, 81
by Richard Nixon and 80 by John Q . Adams. Martin Van Buren stopped breathing
at 79 while Ike and Andrew Jackson made it to 78. The youngest was JFK at a
mere 46. Garfield was murdered when he was 49.
Regardless
of how it appears, it is a beautiful day in June this morning,
and I know it can only get brighter.
