War of Words

Thursday, May 30, 2019, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

The Trump feud with Pelosi continued last week, with Trump essentially daring Pelosi to impeach him. Pelosi still does not want to impeach, but has to be tough with Trump to keep the pro-impeachment wing in line. Trump knows this and continued to attack her. An obviously altered video to make Pelosi look drunk got circulated. Some fear that soon Deep Fake videos will make altered videos harder to detect.

Here are some of the videos for the meeting:

Abortion Politics

Thursday, May 23, 2019, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

Abortion is making a comeback as a political issue and will probably still be an issue for 2020 elections since both sides think they can win with this issue. Here are some of the videos for the meeting:

Good Economy, Bad Economy

Thursday, May 16, 2019, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

The employment numbers look better and better, and the April numbers were better than expected. Still there is much employment anxiety, since we are now in a gig economy. The Uber driver strike last week demonstrated how workers are suffering in their new jobs. With a trade war developing with China, will job growth continue?

Deadlnes and Distractions

Thursday, May 9, 2019, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

As each deadline passes for the House investigations of Trump, it is apparent that Trump will continue to stonewall all inquiries. So while we wait for the drama to play out, Trump continues to grab headlines with threats against Iran, Venezuela and China. This is "Wag the Dog" on multiple fronts.

The story is still unfolding, so I will wait another day to select the videos for the meeting. But here are two videos that summarizes the events so far. They could be old news by the time we meet on Thursday.
