You can laugh, cry, or get angry, but don't get mad at me,  I didn't say these things.
Sir Winston Churchill: "Americans will always try to do the right thing, after they've tried everything else."
When asked about American family dynamics, King of Britain Edward VIII replied: "The thing that impesses me the most about the American family is the way parents obey their children."
The famous novelist Charles Dickens was once asked about an American gentleman.  HIs reply was:  "I do not know the American gentleman.  God forgive me for putting those two words together."
When American novelist Tom Clancy was asked about Bill Clinton, his reply was:  "Billl Clinton is a man who thinks International Affairs means dating a girl from out of town."
Mark Twain, the father of American LIterature, once proclaimed:  "God created war so that Americans would learn geography."
America's founding father, John Adams, once remarked:  "In all my many years I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and three or more is American Congress."
Finally, a wise man once said:  "America is a country where you can say whatever you want as long as no one is listening." ]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2025 02:40:19 -0400 http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/23408/trump-issues-executive-order-banning-chinese-food http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/23408
He is convinced that eating Chinese food will indoctrinate those who consume it to become socialistic, perhaps even (God forbid) Communists.  It might even turn good loyal Americans into wanting to take a tour of China, and to maybe even send their kids there to study at a Chinese university.  All of this is a danger to America's National Security.

Of course Trump doesn't give a shit if a million restaurants in the USA go bankrupt and millions of restaurant staff become unemployed.  Here is an excerpt from an article that makes Trump's point:


Chinese Food is a Threat to National Security

Our enemies are abusing their unfair flavor advantage
By Greg Nix   Jan 29, 2025
The Chinese Communist Party's attempts to influence American society come in increasingly sophisticated forms. While much recent attention has focused on the TikTok ban and artificial intelligence firms like DeepSeek, a more insidious threat has been quietly expanding its reach: Chinese food.
According to new analysis by the Institute for Culinary Security, Chinese restaurants now occupy prime real estate in 77% of American strip malls. This strategic positioning gives our most powerful international foe unprecedented access to hungry Americans during the critical 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM lunch decision window.



As you can see, this is no joke, others have noticed it too - innocent Americans are in danger of being turned into "commies" who will probably vote Democrat instead of voting to Make America Grate Again.  Not only that, but RFK Jr is convinced that eating enough Chinese food might turn a good white Christian into a Buddhist with yellowing skin and slanty eyes, and who might even become angry if anyone were to call Xi Jinping 'Winnie the Pooh'.  
So beware of the Yellow Peril, and next time you go to a restaurant, make it McDonald's. ]]> Fri, 30 May 2025 09:56:44 -0400 http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/23396/donald-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-world-blocked-by-us-trade-court http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/23396 Wed, 28 May 2025 22:24:11 -0400 http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/23339/pregnant-brain-dead-georgia-woman-kept-alive-due-to-state-abortion-ban http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/23339 Fri, 16 May 2025 20:15:38 -0400 http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/23283/a-song-thats-running-through-my-mind http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/23283
Imagining what's soon going to be happening to those less well off than America's Middle Class, especially those who live paycheck to paycheck and those worse off than even that, I'm thinking back to the "Dustbowl" days depicted in the movie The Grapes of Wrath.  I can't get this song to stop running through my mind.

TIMES A-GETTIN' HARD
(learned from Pete Seeger and at Teton Tea parties in the 1960s)
- traditional folk song with new words by Lee Hays)


Times a-gettin' hard, boys, money's gettin' scarce.
If times don't get no better, boys, goin' to leave this place.
Take my true love by the hand, lead her through the town,
Say good-bye to ev'ryone, good-bye to ev'ryone,

Take my bible from the bed, shotgun from the wall,
Take old Sal and hitch her up, the wagon for to haul.
Pile the chairs and beds up high, let nothing drag the ground,
Sal can pull, and we can push, we're bound to leave this town.

Made a crop a year ago, it withered to the ground,
Tried to get more credit, but the banker turned me down.
Goin' to Californi-ay, where ev'rything is green,
Goin' to have bestest farm that you have ever seen.

By Robert Meadows (Circuit Court Judge, Florida).

 

Here is one American’s take on the growing trade war with the US and Canada.

 

"Have you ever stopped to consider how lucky we Americans are to have the neighbors we have? Look around the globe at who some folks have been stuck sharing a border with over the past half-century:

North Korea / South Korea

Greece / Turkey

Iran / Iraq

Israel / Palestine

India / Pakistan

China / Russia

 

"We’ve got Canada!



 Canada!!!



About as inoffensive a neighbor as you could ever hope for. In spite of all our boasts of “American exceptionalism” and chants of “America first,” they just smile, do their thing and go about their business. 

 

They are on average more educated, have a higher standard of living, free health care, and almost no gun problems. They treat immigrants respectfully and already took in over 35,000 Syrians in the last two years.

 

"They’re with us in NATO, they fought alongside us in World War I, World War II, Korea, the Gulf War, the Bosnian War, Afghanistan, the Kosovo War and came to our defense after 9/11. There was that one time when Canada took a pass on one of our wars: Vietnam. Turned out to be a good call.

 

"They’ve been steady consumers of American imports, reliable exporters of metals and petroleum products (they are the biggest importer of U.S. products from 37 states), and partnered with NASA in our space missions.

 

"During 9/11 many aircraft were diverted to Newfoundland, an island province off Canada's east coast where Americans were housed in people's homes for two weeks and treated like royalty. In return for their hospitality, this administration slapped a 20% tariff on the products of Newfoundland's only paper mill, thereby threatening its survival.

 

"And what do Canadians expect of us in return? To be respected for who and what they are: Canadians. That’s what I call a good neighbor.

 

"But the King of Chaos couldn’t leave well enough alone. Based on his delusions of perpetual victimhood, out of the clear blue, he’s declared economic war on Canada. On CANADA! 

 

And he did it based on Canada being a national security risk to the US! For no good reason, other than the voices in his head that told him it was a war he could win. So why not do it, then?

"Again, we’re talking about Canada. Our closest ally, friend and neighbor.

 

"On behalf of an embarrassed nation, people of Canada, I apologize for this idiotic and wholly unnecessary attack. Please leave the back channels open. We the People of progressive persuasion stand with you."]]> Sat, 15 Feb 2025 22:20:48 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/22894/can-tariffs-make-the-us-great-again http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/22894 Fri, 14 Feb 2025 22:15:02 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/22878/canada-and-mexico-under-attack-the-china-solution http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/22878 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 21:37:39 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/22864/the-real-and-present-danger-to-the-world http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/22864 Tue, 11 Feb 2025 19:29:31 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/22855/trump-announces-plan-to-stop-producing-pennies http://thenewstalkers.com/buzz-of-the-orient/group_discuss/22855 Mon, 10 Feb 2025 19:39:56 -0500
