Is there a good Chinese restaurant in Sonoma?
I don’t know.Plenty of good Mexican ones!. Alas, not being able to see well enough to drive does limit my exploration.

An expert’s guide to Trumponomics by the Economist:
I was interested to learn recently that The Economist is a Rothschild publication.
The 45th president of the United States has just been sworn in. Can the mountain of potential ethical violations that he is under investigation for bring him down?
A Neoliberal discussion of Trump’s Ethics:

I personally agree with Jim McKinney and Jeff Deist, Professor
I personally take some pride in being an equal opportunity offender.
The only area, other than Trump’s tendency to talk or tweet before he engages his brain, that concerns me so far, is his attitude towards torture.
While I realize it occurs, I believe it is a terrible concept to establish any endorsement for it.
I believe most firmly in the primary principle by which I live my life; the Golden Rule.
You and I, my friend, have much in common.
Trump has now clarified his position on torture.
He said he had previously expressed his personal opinion on specifically water-boarding and was in favor of it because Brennan had said it worked. However, his (Trump’s) current position was that he would leave this isue to Mattis, and Mattis has already announced that he (Mattis) was against torture.

and he talks about torture.
Who is ultimately behind the emolument clause, I think Al and Jeff have answered that question. I have never heard of a case in The US government where this clause has been used and there have been many times in the past where I’m sure it could have been enacted. If it has a life it could drag on for the length of The Trump Presidency because of government investigations. The best thing that could happen is for it to peter out now because if you understand anything about Trump’s character it is that if he believes the best defense is a very strong offence, and this will backfire on the instigators. The old English saying applies here “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie’. Some people just never know when enough is enough. DT
I would ae to agree with you on this one, Mr. Tracy
I would remind folks that the most distinguishing feature of anglo-saxon jurisprudence is that one is innocent until proven guilty.
Do you still think that in reality that is still the case today?
Not in the MSM, but then I tend to disbelieve much of the MSM. It is a vital part of Western culture, however, that the third estate be a cautious but relentless watchdog of the Executive and Legislature.
No because the rule of law has been broken in the western world. However it is now in the process of being restored.
Watch this guy grill the FBI:

“Let me help you out on this one.” I love it. This is inspirational.
I often watch issues and how they are reported on MSM and I have to say that the personal comments that originate from there are totally unnecessary in my opinion. The most recent example is their coverage of the Womens’ March which I thought, for the most part was well done.
I certainly did not view it as a protest, but more of a statement were perhaps some issues were blown out of realistic proportion.
My only disagreement was that they would not let Pro life women join in their cause.
Meanwhile in the non-MSM:
The latest Peter Schiff on Trade wars:
I hope that something can be done to heal the disastrous polarization created by the Traitor Obama.
I believe Trump will be able to heal the racial division between Black and white as he reduces inner-city violence and finally improves education through school vouchers, etc.
It concerns me that Silicon Valley, a major source of innovation in the U.S, is almost totally indoctrinated by the neoliberal California education system to be blind to the benefits of free market economics and conservative principles of small government.
cnn news report Mar Lago just raised lifetime membership price from 100k to 200k emoluments clause ??? S
I was very dissapointed to read that our essteamed leader Mrs. May..Kissed the arse of the Turkish “DICK”tator in order to get a one hundred million, militery contract………….
Shame on her.
It concerns me that with the Trump administration moving quickly to reverse many Obama Administration actions, they have not taken the time to prepare and think through all the new executive orders for unintended consequences. e.g.

CFS…I agree. I think he needs to take a week off from signing orders, & think things tru.
I realize that people like Ron Paul and Bob Moriarty believe in non-interventionist policy for the U.S., and I am ignorant of Trump’s knowledge or expertise in terrorism, but I hope he will have competent advisers.
e.g. at the eastern end of the Caliphate:

thank you for link. Recall the US not backing the UK in the mid 50’s over Egypt (canal) which probably was the beginning of what we are living today. Very interesting indeed.

Interesting what MSM says.
Let’s all remember that public education is in reality gubmint skools. Anyone who is for public education is a communist (at least in part – see Marx’s Communist Manifesto, 10th plank) and cannot really be for choice. Gubmint skools compel at the point of a gun all people to pay for the pagan indoctrination of all children. Separation of Education (Religion) and State!

Trump’s Executive order on immigration:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and to protect the American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals admitted to the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. The visa-issuance process plays a crucial role in detecting individuals with terrorist ties and stopping them from entering the United States. Perhaps in no instance was that more apparent than the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, when State Department policy prevented consular officers from properly scrutinizing the visa applications of several of the 19 foreign nationals who went on to murder nearly 3,000 Americans. And while the visa-issuance process was reviewed and amended after the September 11 attacks to better detect would-be terrorists from receiving visas, these measures did not stop attacks by foreign nationals who were admitted to the United States.
Numerous foreign-born individuals have been convicted or implicated in terrorism-related crimes since September 11, 2001, including foreign nationals who entered the United States after receiving visitor, student, or employment visas, or who entered through the United States refugee resettlement program. Deteriorating conditions in certain countries due to war, strife, disaster, and civil unrest increase the likelihood that terrorists will use any means possible to enter the United States. The United States must be vigilant during the visa-issuance process to ensure that those approved for admission do not intend to harm Americans and that they have no ties to terrorism.
In order to protect Americans, the United States must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles. The United States cannot, and should not, admit those who do not support the Constitution, or those who would place violent ideologies over American law. In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including “honor” killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.
Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from foreign nationals who intend to commit terrorist attacks in the United States; and to prevent the admission of foreign nationals who intend to exploit United States immigration laws for malevolent purposes.
