Lightman replies on Jan 5, 2021:

Do you honestly think Xi is being threatened? China's Xi allowed to remain 'president for life' as term limits removed Published 11 March 2018 China has approved the removal of the two-term limit on the presidency, effectively allowing Xi Jinping to remain in power for life. The constitutional changes were passed by the annual sitting of parliament, the National People's Congress. The vote was widely regarded as a rubber-stamping exercise. Two delegates voted against the change and three abstained, out of 2,964 votes. China had imposed a two-term limit on its president since the 1990s. But Mr Xi, who would have been due to step down in 2023, defied the tradition of presenting a potential successor during October's Communist Party Congress. Instead, he consolidated his political power as the party voted to enshrine his name and political ideology in the party's constitution - elevating his status to the level of its founder, Chairman Mao. On paper, the congress is the most powerful legislative body in China - similar to the parliament in other nations. But it was widely believed that it would approve what it was told to. Xi forever? Analysis by Stephen McDonell, BBC China correspondent in Beijing It is now hard to see Xi Jinping being challenged in any way whatsoever. He has amassed power the likes of which has not been seen since Chairman Mao Zedong. Only five years ago Beijing was being ruled by a collective leadership. Under ex-President Hu Jintao you could imagine differing views being expressed in the then nine-member Politburo Standing Committee. There was a feeling that Mr Hu needed to please various factions within the Communist Party and it seemed that every 10 years a new leader would come along with their own people in a process of smooth transition. From today all this has gone. The constitution has been altered to allow Xi Jinping to remain as president beyond two terms and they would not have gone to this much trouble if that was not exactly what he intended to do. There has been no national debate as to whether a leader should be allowed to stay on for as long as they choose. Quietly but surely Xi Jinping has changed the way his country is governed, with himself well and truly at the core.

Lightman replies on Jan 2, 2021:

@Hanno Published in the Social Science Research Network, a new paper ranked the 48 continental states and District of Columbia by the degree of psychopathic personality traits found in the residents of each state. Using data from personality surveys conducted nationally in 2013, researchers determined that Washington, D.C., has the most psychopaths, while West Virginia has the fewest. According a study dating back to 2010, there were at least three times as many psychopaths in executive or CEO roles than in the overall population. But more recent data found it’s now a much higher figure: 20 percent. When it comes to the corporate world, non-violent, corporate psychopaths are not running from the law, but instead, rushing to the executive suite. One route to grabbing power for the highly intelligent psychopath is to climb the corporate ladder. There is a real chance that at some point a chief financial officer will be confronted with a psychopathic boss. Roughly 4% to as high as 12% of CEOs exhibit psychopathic traits, according to some expert estimates, many times more than the 1% rate found in the general population and more in line with the 15% rate found in prisons.

@Krunoslav then you'll also be aware of the phrase... the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Russia are not Americas friend yet and by the time they realise what's going on and what side they should be on it will be a bit late. Russian frogs in slowly boiling water. Remember both Russia and China are Communist countries and they have mutual relationships and interests.

You have heard the word Conservation before right? Nice fantasy you have there about Progs giving us civil rights... most rights and laws have their beginnings in religious doctrine. thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, the Golden rule etc, etc, ect... Don't think today's Progressivism, this Woke mentality has anything to do with the Original Progressivism... it doesn't. Oh and how about speaking in English and leave off the Woke gobledygook.

The Mayor and other witnesses speaking about the first responders and aftermath say... "I think they may consider what they did was just a regular part of their duties. But we in Nashville know it was extraordinary, and it's thrilling to have them in our community, and we need to recognize their heroism," Cooper said, before each officer recounted the bombing that damaged at least 41 buildings, ignited several vehicles on fire and left a huge crater on Second Avenue North.

@JacksonNought Just 1 of many articles written in Australia on the subject. US election: Donald Trump’s achievements too readily overlooked Jennifer Oriel 12:00AM November 10, 2020 491 Comments For more than 70 million Americans, Donald Trump represents hope. He won the 2016 election against a sure-bet Democrat with a political pedigree and the global media on her side. He won the second-biggest popular vote in US electoral history last week despite a four-year onslaught by the political media elite. On present numbers, he has increased the Republican share of Hispanic voters and improved his standing among African-Americans. Trump has forever changed American politics and the breadth of his achievements impresses where his style, and his handling of the pandemic fail. The 45th US president restored law and order by defending police against militant racists and nominating black-letter lawyers to the Supreme Court. He chipped away at left-wing orthodoxy in the public service and on campus by testing the limits of free speech. He demanded equal treatment for America in foreign policy by telling free-riding allies to boost their military spending and pay their fair share for defence. He called the bluff of bully states and withdrew US money from the Paris Agreement, which rewards totalitarian regimes with Western workers’ money. He protected Americans from illiberal enemies by closing the border to terrorist-producing states. He defended Israel by negotiating the most celebrated Middle East peace deal in recent history. He encouraged the revival of American manufacturing in towns gripped by unemployment and sliding into the despair of intergenerational opioid addiction. And he worked to restore the democratic norms established by the founding fathers. Trump stood for the millions of Americans that globalists treat like an unpleasant aftertaste of the industrial era. For all of that, the politically correct will forever regard him as an enemy. As the votes rolled in on Wednesday night, Trumpism was the topic of discussion on the ABC. Although the host noted the Democrat landslide had failed to materialise (again), he could not resist describing Americans who support Trump as a cult. But the description is more aptly used for Democrat voters given their call to blacklist political dissenters in the wake of the election. Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested the names of people who worked with the US president should be recorded for their “complicity.” Michael Simon, a former Obama administration staffer, affirmed that a group was recording the names of “Every (Trump) administration staffer, campaign staffer, bundler, lawyers who represented them – everyone”. He is in league with another former Democrat staffer, ...

@JacksonNought Yet another letter... Trump’s achieved a lot since his 2016 election To the Editor: While there is still some debate over the legality of the results of the 2020 election, one thing remains perfectly clear, President Donald Trump achieved many accomplishments during his first two years in office, and especially during his first six months. Let’s review a partial list of some of these: Operation Warp Speed, creation of a safe COVID vaccine in record time. Almost 4 million jobs created since election in 2016. The most employed Americans in history. Creation of more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs and manufacturing jobs growing at the faster rate in more than three decades. Economic growth hit 4.2% one quarter. New unemployment claims recently hit a 49-year low. Median household income the highest ever recorded. African-American unemployment recently was the lowest rate ever. Asian-American unemployment recently the lowest rate ever. Hispanic-American unemployment at the lowest rate ever. Women’s unemployment reaching the lowest rate in 65 years. Youth unemployment the lowest rate in nearly half a century. Lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for Americans without a high school diploma. Veterans unemployment reached its lowest rate in nearly 20 years. Almost 3.9 million Americans have left food stamps since 2016. The Pledge to America’s Workers has employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans and promoting vocational education. Retail sales surged last month, up another 6% over last year. Signed the biggest tax cuts and reforms in history. Over $300 billion poured back into the U.S. in the first quarter alone. Trump tax bill produced lowest top marginal tax rate in more than 80 years for small businesses. NICK DE MAYO
