Larry Kudlow: 'Blame China' for trade stand-off
Trump: “when you’re $500B down, you can’t lose” and add $300B in the theft of intellectual property.
So with nearly a $TRILLION annual deficit with China, Trump added $50B in tariffs, China replied with $50B and Trump upped the ante another $100B yesterday.
China is defiant, but here’s why they can’t win a trade war.

Six Vietnamese Activists Sentenced For ‘Subversion’ in Hanoi Trial
Via comment by Reborn on The Red Terror: The tragic consequences of Leftist...
Judicial authorities in Hanoi handed down harsh jail sentences on Thursday to six Vietnamese activists found guilty of “subversion,” earning the condemnation of rights groups who had called for the charges to be dropped.
Prominent rights lawyer Nguyen Van Dai, his colleague Le Thu Ha, and citizen journalists Pham Van Troi, Nguyen Trung Ton, Truong Minh Duc, and Nguyen Bac Truyen, were tried for conducting activities aimed at overthrowing the state under Article 79 of Vietnam’s Penal Code.
The statute carries maximum sentences of life imprisonment or capital punishment for those who are convicted.
The six were accused of affiliation with the Brotherhood for Democracy, a group founded by Dai in 2013 to defend human rights and promote democratic ideals in Vietnam. All have campaigned for victims of injustice, advocated for religious freedom, and supported political prisoners and their families.
In all, the activists were sentenced to 66 years in jail and 17 years under house arrest.

“Right now the Vietnamese Communist Party and government are cracking down on critics in a way we haven’t seen in many, many years,” he said.
“The number of political cases in the country has increased substantially, but the interesting thing is that more and more people are still willing to challenge the authorities, so this tactic of the government isn’t working to stop people calling for democracy,” he said.

and three staff members.
Borges
was shot five times, suffering wounds to the lungs, abdomen and legs.

John Tyler Son of Virginia Still Has 2 Living Grandsons
President John Tyler, Born in 1790, Still Has 2 Living Grandsons
From the Confederate Veteran Magazine, Volume 4, 1916, pages 4-5.
John Tyler, distinguished
Virginian and tenth President of the United States, has received
fitting, though long-deferred, honor from the country he served.
Fifty-three years after his death the United States government has
erected a handsome monument at his last resting place, in the shades of
beautiful Hollywood Cemetery, at Richmond, Va., that sacred and
consecrated spot where lie the ashes of so many distinguished dead. On a
crest overlooking the James River and near the tomb of James Monroe,
fifth President of the United States and the fourth Virginian to be so honored, this magnificent shaft blazons to the world that national recognition of one who did a noble part by his country, yet whose convictions led him to leave the Union and cast his lot with his native State when the sections became separated. President Tyler upheld
Virginia in her secession, representing her in the Provisional Congress
of the Confederacy, and he was also member-elect of the permanent
Congress when his death occurred in 1862.

Trump takes step toward ending 'catch and release' immigration policy
Via Billy
President Trump signed a memorandum on Friday seeking to take steps toward ending the “catch and release” immigration policy, a term that generally refers to the release of illegal immigrants as they wait for an immigration hearing.
“Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum to take important steps to end ‘catch and release,’ the dangerous practice whereby aliens who have violated our Nation’s immigration laws are released into the United States shortly after their apprehension,” the Office of White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. “The safety and security of the American people is the President’s highest priority, and he will keep his promise to protect our country and to ensure that our laws are respected.”
“At the same time, the President continues to call on congressional Democrats to cease their staunch opposition to border security and to stop blocking measures that are vital to the safety and security of the United States,” the statement continued.
