Another Trump assassination attempt - second, in Miami

It is more fun criticizing


It looks as though that assassins are hot on Fmr Pres Trump trail.  Another  apparent attempt vs him in Miami at his own golf course.  

What is the effect of these attempted assassination attempt on his campaign for Presidency.  ?

Is there so much hatred vs Trump?   What has happened to US politics that it is even worse than it is is in the Philippines?

Interview of ANC Anchor with Incoming DOF Secretary Ben Diokno

It is more fun criticizing




This post finds comfort in the interview of incoming DOF secretary Ben Diokno regarding the new administration plan on how to handle the debt problem, the no PHP problem that incoming administration (where was the data gathered?)

The good former BSP governor said that the fundamentals of the country is good right now.  In his long years with govt service and witnessing one crisis after another, the incoming secretary said that the country's finances are OK (maybe in reference to Sri Lankan problem)  Our international reserves which stand at about $100 billion (P7 trillion)  is sound.  We are not under IMF control, we contribute to IMF rather than receiving aid from it.   This is a good statement to calm our people and investors, and standing with the world financial market.  It is a pity that news anchors and  detractors of the govt make negative
view of our present govt.  

(The hypothesis being that the Jr. Marcos will place RP again in difficult financial problems.  And that PDDU has siphoned off funds of the govt.

Some difficulties too with anchors pretending to know it all even the economic and fiscal issues for which they are not.   (This is not the first time that the good expert has lectured the newshen on finer points of goverrnance.  

The more difficult task is to place PHL in growth trajectory which will generate jobs and taxes.

CIA spying on international finance and monetary system?

It is more fun criticizing


CIA Collecting Records of International Money Transfers

From Wall St. Journal online

From Leaksource blog

The current accusations of various govt:    spying  by US seems to be gathering confirmation as true.  Why is Barack Obama, a democrat allowing this?  He does not know this?  What happens to command responsibility?

CIA seems to be using the same law, the Patriot Act that NSA uses in tapping phone and internet records, in monitoring records of Western Union on wire transfers (to track funding of terrorists?)

That is there is a group of Civil Libertarians who are activitists vs this kind of govt curtailment of US liberties.

Well CIA could always invoke national security in monitoring money transfers.  Is this legal or constitutional, moral?
