Trump/Hitler/Lee Kuan Yew

Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come. In the current crossroads and thresholds of World Affairs, Trump has adeptly caught on to the zeitgeist of this Idea whose time is here, now!

The execution of this Idea, however, dictates that Trump has to be tough, harsh and even ruthless to keep America at the top. In pursuing this goal, the blunt measures Trump has to undertake from the experience of the history of the western world generates fears that Trump may be a Hitler.

But, from the mosaic of experience from the history of a miraculously successful South-East Asian Nation can point Trump to be a Lee Kuan Yew.

Despite Lee's abusive style, many of the highest accomplished and acclaimed Statesmen (women included) of the western world paid glowing tributes to Lee's achievements.

The best and most powerful compliment came from Margaret Thatcher who said of Lee and I quote, "He was never wrong".

There are gems of lessons for Trump to pick from Lee, if he is to take the rough and hard road to make America great and deal effectively with the Chinese

Otherwise, Trump will stumble and humiliate himself like he did on the abortion issue, but on a much larger scale and on an international stage that may trigger very nasty and unnecessary conflicts.

Trump and Yelping Puppies

The CNN Houston Debate on 25 February 2016 looked to me like two new born puppies just brought home from the dog pound. Feeling lost and scared, they were yelping (can't even bark yet) around Trump's trousers legs and occasionally paused to hump Trump's legs. You must have seen these comical scenes when you have new puppies in the house.

At mid-forties both Cruz and Rubio are already hard core Conservatives romping around a 70 year old successful Liberal turning Conservative and trying to teach him new tricks, instead of the other way round.

If young Creationists who refuse to evolve, in our ever evolving world, like these two yelping puppies and one of them take over the White House, America is in grave danger of entering another unknown form of Presidency just as jolting and testing as Obama's Yin Presidency was in 2008 to the present.

America is tired of Presidential Experiments and paying the unbearably heavy price for them.

America at the moment wants a Trump's Revitalization and Renaissance to Make America Great Again, in the Capitalist and Entrepreneurial ways that America is so totally at home with.

Trump is already the Winner in this sense.

Obama, Stick to Your Guns

Obama should not hesitate to fill the SCOTUS vacancy left opened by the demise of Scalia.

All the resistance to the Nomination stem from parties with vested interests who concocted all kinds of weird to idiotic excuses. As with many other issues in the Elections, no one cares about the interests of the US and its ordinary people until Trump came along.

The most important and simple reason that the vacancy should be filled ASAP is not even touched upon by anyone.

Given the strong prevailing risks: remaining SCOTUS members being very old; severe debilitating weather conditions affecting health; highly accident prone situations lately, etc - God forbid, if a further one or two or more SCOTUS Justices may suddenly drop dead or become incapacitated to perform their duties. What then?

Do the rationales of the resistors still hold and wait for the next President to take office.

One thing is certain. Obama will be blamed for not filling the vacancy according to the existing rules.

Vacancies need to be filled as they fall due to take care of contingencies, like Black Swans.

It's the Math, Stupid!

Ted Cruz/Rick Tyler

After Rick was asked to resign by Ted, some journalists rallied to Rick's defence talking about his professionalism and that he used to serve Newt Gingrich, as if that is some sort of a a quality bar.

I first saw Rick when he was interviewed by Martha MacCallum to clarify on the photoshopped picture of Rubio.

He looked mean and dishonorable to me in trying to defend the indefensible. He justified,"Every picture in a political campaign is photo-shopped".

Ya, photoshopped to make the supported candidate look good, not the opponent ugly and bad! 

But, the picture was actually SUPERIMPOSED with photos of the faces of Rubio and Obama on those of other individuals who were total STRANGERS.

SUPERIMPOSING faces on unrelated photos in this way to create fake impressions is absolutely deceitful and disgraceful. Much more devious and devastating in impact than photoshopping on an original and genuine picture.

Rick got away with a weak retort, "Oh come on. That's the answer?".

Professionalism, Really?

Sly Ted Cruz

The American Peace Corps/Australian Volunteer Corps taught me and my countrymen the sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) and mathematics around the time Ted was borned. There was a dearth of such teachers then in my underdeveloped country as it was labelled.

Thanks to these dedicated volunteers, Malaysia today has world class doctors, engineers, businessmen, etc, who put together a vibrant and modern country and society.

Being devout Christians, these volunteers also shared their ethical and moral persuasions with us in their teachings. They taught and encouraged us to boldly call out liars and crooks.

Armed with such good impressions, watching Ted Cruz on Fox News that is predisposed to give the GOP a more than fair shake, I am horrified to learn of the disturbing chicaneries of Ted.

He twists Trump's words deliberately out of context. Even though English is not my mother-tongue, I could detect the falsehoods and half-truths easily.

He deliberately jettisoned Ben Carson's chances by pronouncing falsely that Ben dropped out so that he could benefit from Ben's votes in Iowa. A quick and easy check would have confirmed Ben did not drop out. He then hypocritically apologised after the caucuses closed.

He put Rubio in bad light through a photoshopped picture of a "compromised" handshake with Obama.

These sickening deceits mentioned and many more of others publicly exposed point to the apparent existence of an organised "dirty tricks" department in the Cruz team, The wicked incidents that occurred were not accidents or mistakes. Yet 500 pastors in SC endorsed Ted. Yet crowds still clap and cheer at his hollow and false words.

I feel disappointed with my views inspired from my former teachers. This is the first time I could follow the elections so closely due to the marked improvements in the multi-media and free time I have as I had retired.

From my spiritual exposure and experience both Eastern and Western, I conclude that because of his dishonourable deeds, his ForeFathers cursed him (see Cruz, Rubio Dysfunctions), Karma is against him, and in a Monkey Year the Mizaru Monkeys' wrath is upon him. Now, I can only wait for God to weigh in on him.

We Chinese believe Justice on Earth not resolved on Earth will be dispensed by Heaven.

Trump trumps Pope

The Vatican is highly revered the world over even by many non-Christians in Asia.

By entering the US Elections fray, this Pope risked dragging the sacred image and the prestige of the Vatican down into political sleaze gutters.

His words were strong and direct. Such statements need not be made because you will be forced to stand by them after having said them! What makes the scenario ugly is when his aides come up with back spins, top spins and side spins to attempt to blunt the message because it is taking a beating after breaking out. It unnecessarily allowed Trump to triumph momentarily and made cheap political mileage out of it.

These spins looked and sounded like the kind of antics Ted Cruz's team would get up to. But that seemed palatable. They are in politics, dirty as that may be.

It's unpleasant to talk about the Pope in this "light" and I will stop here. You can do your own projections and inferences from this one poignant scene from the media. It's like the movie "The Passion of the Christ" as directed by Mel Gibson. From the one seemingly unending gory scene, you fill out the rest of the background yourself, if you have read the Bible.

Karl Rove

Karl appeared on Fox News (mid Februarish 2016) and had the gumption to rule only one candidate, Jeb Bush (pretty obvious), is fit to be the next President. He then listed out why the others are unfit and graded them. Like school kids.

I have no Fox appearance, but, I don't see I have any less gumption to do a similar decreeing.

Initially sceptical, but now fully convinced as argued in my posts, the next President must be Donald Trump.

I will now in the Karl Rovenisque way rule out the rest.

Jeb - anyone who has to drag out his 92 year old mother to the hustings is not fit to be President. They are not called "hustings" for nothing.

Cruz and Rubio - clearly ruled as unfit in my post "Cruz, Rubio Dysfunctions".

Ben Carson - slicing politics is far harder than slicing brains. He can't cut it.

Kasich - no clue and no mention how he will deal with the Chinese. Good VP to Trump.

Vote Wisely.
