Thrill-seeking at perilous heights

I am glad I survived my youth.

There is a time in some lives for thrill-seeking at perilous heights.

I continue to thrill at life's rich pageant, but more safely on the ground.

Australia

Australia.

The soft underbelly of democracy, easy target, strategic region.

China, always China.

Trump the Brand

It's beyond Trump the man. It's an economic behemoth than juggernauts along under its own momentum. Better to speak of Trump the Brand than Trump the man. Trump the man is oblivious to most of what goes on, has been oblivious for years. Also, some Trump-brand businesses must front for organized crime, notably money laundering, because building casinos in Atlantic City (or pretty much anywhere) means organized crime and money laundering.
