America got two visitors this week: The Pope on the East and Xi on the West. Vladimir appeared on CBS. Everyone comes in peace. Right.

Trump could become a fading fad. As good as it is to have proof that anti-political correctness works—as great as it is to have a Conservative-supported candidate in a spitting match with FNC—Howard Beal from “Network” was never going to last, nor was the “Terror” of France’s guillotines. Yes, Trump, the great deal maker, sits atop his tower, reading American sentiment, and regurgitates is right back at the public, perfectly and all. But he has used the same sentiment his entire career and been successful at it. Is he a fake? If he is then he’s a three decade fake who’s fooled his own kids. We’ll just have to see. Regardless, Carson’s substance could overtake Trump’s pomp. The future remains unforeseeable at this point because Carson is a rookie with beginner’s luck and Trump is thirty-year champ on a ten-year winning streak who’s stayed ahead in this entire game.  · · · →

Trump is the talk of town. Obama is getting donations to leave. Both have plans recently revealed: Trump to deal with immigration through never before seen competency; Obama to network with the wealthy for a $1 billion postpresidential infrastructure.

Foreigners living in America could lead to domestic unrest in more ways than one. Not only is illegal immigration a concern at the southern border, Chinese seem to be disappearing and Obama isn’t happy. Beijing got a warning this week and the White House wants suspicious Chinese to get out fast.

Hillary’s 60+ emails with classified redactions are raising more eyebrows. She shouldn’t be front and center for political potential talk anymore. Concerns should turn to China as well as the economy.

Money forecasters smell trouble, some from China’s slowdown, as well as from dipping commodity markets and international money such as Britain’s 77-month bull, Greece, and the overrated BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa)—all indicating smoke on the horizon.  · · · →
