On the Government Shutdown

Trump dances to his puppet masters in this sad melodrama.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - The partial government shutdown is now in the third week with no end in sight. Trump wants money for a wall between the U.S.-Mexico border and the Congressional Democrats and many Republicans do not.

As you remember, last month the White House appeared to show support for a short-term spending measure that did not contain wall money but would have kept the government open until February 8.

Radha Stirling Statement on Saudi Arabia Cabinet Shuffle

Radha Stirling, Middle Eastern Criminal and Civil Justice Expert, Expert Witness and founder of Detained in Dubai issued the following statement in relation to Saudi Arabia’s cabinet shuffle:

(LONDON) - Saudi Arabia announced a cabinet shuffle today that saw Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir ‘demoted’, though not altogether removed, and replaced by former Finance Minister Ibrahim Al Assaf.

Many have commented that this change is little more than a damage-control PR maneuver by Mohammad bin Salman to distance himself from the murder of Jamal Khashoggi; but that may be a superficial analysis of the move.

Trump`s Ill-Advised Decision to Withdraw from Syria

U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis has abruptly announced his resignation.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - Without consulting his military advisors, his White House staff, Congress, or our allies, the Twitter-in-Chief announced an immediate, full withdrawal of the 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria, Tweeting “we have defeated ISIS in Syria.”

The Importance of Platform Integration in Today`s Tech Industry

Maximize system productivity to its fullest potential

(SALEM, Ore.) - The world today is run by various software, application, and services which have replaced most of the time-consuming jobs that needed to be done manually before technology took over.

Give Shelter to Those Seeking Refuge

We need to stand for border communities and vulnerable migrants seeking refuge

(SAN DIEGO, Calif.) - I was near the San Diego border crossing when I saw Border Patrol agents fire tear gas canisters and flash bang grenades into a crowd of migrants gathered nearby.

I saw a low-flying Customs and Border Protection helicopter use its rotors to push plumes of tear gas into a canal where many migrants had gathered. Even though I have been working to support and protect migrants and border communities for many years, I continue to be disturbed and horrified by these clear and egregious violations of people's dignity and human rights.

Trump-Fox News Symbiosis

Fox News began as a project by right-wing propagandist Rupert Murdoch and Republican media strategist Roger Ailes.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - President Trump recently picked Heather Nauert, the State Department’s spokeswoman and former breaking news anchor at Fox & Friends, as the next ambassador to the United Nations.

Nauert is the latest Fox News alumni to join the Trump team. She joins former Fox News talking head John Bolton, former Fox commentators Mercedes Schlapp and Tony Sayegh, and this month the former Fox News executive Bill Shine as favorite Trump picks.

Oregon Small Business Owners` Free-Speech Rights Vaporized

These prohibitive rules are veiled behind "protecting kids"

(PHOENIX, Ariz.) - What if you walked into an ice cream shop, but the store owner couldn’t tell you what any of the flavors were? This may sound ludicrous, but an Oregon law is keeping some business owners from speaking in such a way.

The state of Oregon recently enacted regulations that prohibit vape shops from providing accurate information to their customers about legal products.

Trump`s Trade Spat with China is Generating Additional Volatility for Equity Markets

Riskier assets have experienced an uptick in volatility during the fall for several reasons.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The mid-term vote, and the loss of the House of Representatives by the Republicans, initially generated a relief rally.

Traders soon turned their attention back to the US trade spat and higher interest rates. Fed Chair Powell seems dead set on increasing interest rates which will provide additional leverage if the economy turns south. Unfortunately, this is coming as President Trump faces intense scrutiny on his trade policy and his global standing.
