How Trump managed his casinos
"The contractor who provided the onion domes for the Taj Mahal casino had to eat $2 million in losses. The contractor who supplied the Carrara marble from Italy ended up filing for personal bankruptcy. The contractor who put in the restroom partitions had to lay off his brother.
"A quarter of a century has passed since Donald Trump refused to pay in full 253 contractors who helped build his Taj in Atlantic City. But for many of them, it could have happened yesterday.
"'We got next to nothing,' said Michael MacLeod, whose 40-person studio made the giant elephant statues at the casino's entrance. 'I took a big hit.'
"After the Taj opened in April 1990 [Donald Trump], the self-anointed King of Debt owed, $70 million to contractors employing thousands who built the domes and minarets, put up the glass and drywall, laid the pipes and installed everything from chandeliers to bathroom fixtures. A year later, when the casino collapsed into bankruptcy, those owed the most got only 33 cents in cash for each dollar owed, with promises of another 50 cents later. It took years to get the rest, assuming the companies survived long enough to collect."

BIG fraud in NYC.
This is really outrageous. It looks as if De Blasio's supporters are shrinking even further. It is either sheer incompetence or something much worse to allow a resource for the most vulnerable in society - those dying of AIDS - to be sold of for profit. And even then there should be a public inquiry as to how such a huge profit was pilfered from the taxpayers of New York:
"Village Care sold Rivington House to the Allure Group for $28 million in February of 2015. Allure subsequently paid the city $16.1 million to lift the two deed restrictions from the building, which mandated that it be used solely for nonprofit, residential health services. Allure flipped the property to the Slate Group, luxury condo developers, for a $116 million in February after the restrictions were lifted."

Should intolerance be fought with more intolerance?
Here is an example of so called "left wing" intolerance.

The objectives of "Planting Peace" are reasonable & essential, but the billboard that they have put up can be construed as very offensive to many people.
Just as to us actions & posters of Westboro Baptist Church members are unacceptable
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/03/21/westboro-baptist-church-pickets-funerals/6688951/. They violate all the norms of decency in a civilized society, by citing their (misunderstood) right to free speech.
One has to realize that the jury is still out on whether sexual preferences is a result of nature or of nurture or both. Each side points to studies to prove their point. While the discussion is necessary on academic levels, public spaces must be sexual preference neutral.
Does the left wing not loose their moral superiority by behaving just as badly as people on the other side of the political spectrum?; whose behavior ranges from extremely offensive http://www.godhatesfags.com/, to simply retarded http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christopher-lamb/indiana-governor-bans-boy_b_9790626.html .
We thought the left wing wanted to raise the bar on the quality of our political discourse.

A beautiful poem about the good old days.
We'd all do better if we checked our feelings & emotions towards the good old days (as we believe they may have been) and not get driven like sheep to benefit only a few charlatans (who know exactly how the good old days were ).
Pigheaded political opinionators.
Time and again we have seen how writers of political opinion pieces on CNN work to drive the conversations in a contrarian direction, just to become visible.
Here is one example http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/14/opinions/america-iran-alliance-syria-ghitis/index.html
We do not have any issue with people having and expressing their own opinions, however when you have a mouthpiece as big as CNN we believe one must be more responsible and diligent in what one says.
The current executive leadership of America is far more sophisticated in its thoughts and its operations, than what can be commonly understood. Consider the Obama administration's response to the Russian takeover of Crimea & the hostilities perpetuated against Ukraine about 16 months ago. With a few phone calls and some paperwork, we brought down the entire Russian economy for a couple of months, does CNN analysts even understand it, in hindsight or did they foresee how that would've worked? They were too busy telling us how Nato would/should be giving a military response to Russia. http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/18/opinion/allison-ukraine-civil-war/
We will not get in to what Kerry is doing & why, we will wait & watch. But, we encourage you to read the Washington Post's JIG link provided in the CNN article and make up your own minds.
For us Americans Syria is nothing but expense, expense which must be paid by the US/IRAN/RUSSIA/SAUDI/IRAQ(with whatever oil they have)/UK & other Nato countries all of who interfered in Syria and destabilized it together, not the US alone.
While it was unacceptable to allow Bashar Assad to barrel bomb civilian neighborhoods, we believe the response must have come from the UN. Some people think the UN is too sluggish.
This is our opinion on why every country we mention is at fault.
US : Encouraged/sat on sidelines when so called Arab Spring belligerents were acting out in relatively stable Syria. Weaponized the FSA (Free Syrian Army), the weapons eventually ended up with ISIS.
IRAN : Always tries to turn countries to have Shitte governments in the name of democracy, so that the Iranian clerics can gain hold of the populace's fancy and in turn control the policies of other countries. Assad was not beholden to Iran, before this mess started.
SAUDI : Always tries to counter balance IRAN, because they live under constant fear that once powerful enough, Iran will run them over. One of the sponsors of Arab Spring.
RUSSIA : Wary of US influence all over the world, constantly just does stuff to annoy us. Bombed hospitals in areas which were not under Assad's control.
IRAQ : The Shitte government marginalized the Sunni minority, making it easy for ISIS to get local recruits and being so lame.
UK : Once colonizing country now does the US & Israeli biddings, whatever shady stuff that involves.
Nato Countries : Turkey, Poland etc. usually do not care what someone is doing on their territory ( This includes ISIS & the US & who knows who else).
