Will China allow Trump to be re-elected?
"The CEO of Boeing warned on Wednesday that President Trump’s escalating trade war with China was creating a risk that the company would have to cut production rates of its most advanced plane, the 787 Dreamliner, according to a Bloomberg report.
Boeing’s widebody jets have proved a crucial source of cash as the company works to get the grounded 737 Max fleet back in the air.
Orders from Chinese airlines – including a blockbuster order of 100 Dreamliners and 777X jets – play a major part of Boeing’s sales forcasts for the 2020s."

Dream on.
Wages are up , employment is up . Life is good and much to your dismay and chagrin Trump will be re elected in November 2020 . I hope you are still with us to enjoy that occasion.

United States Votes Against UN Resolution Condemning Death Penalty For Gays

Joining Saudi Arabia and Iraq, the Trump administration votes against a U.N. resolution condemning the death penalty for LGBT people.
On Sept. 29 the U.S. voted against a U.N. Human Rights Council resolution that condemns the death penalty for those found guilty of committing consensual same-sex sexual acts.
The resolution was introduced by Belgium, Benin, Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia and Switzerland.
Despite opposition from the U.S. and other countries, the resolution passed by a 27-13 vote.
BuzzFeed reports that the U.S. was one of the 13 votes against the resolution, joining such human rights pariahs as Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The Independent explains:
The Human Rights Council resolution condemned the “imposition of the death penalty as a sanction for specific forms of conduct, such as apostasy, blasphemy, adultery and consensual same-sex relations”.
More on the resolution from The Los Angeles Blade:
The resolution specifically condemns “the imposition of the death penalty as a sanction for specific forms of conduct, such as apostasy, blasphemy, adultery and consensual same-sex relations” and expresses “serious concern that the application of the death penalty for adultery is disproportionately imposed on women.” It also notes “poor and economically vulnerable persons and foreign nationals are disproportionately subjected to the death penalty, that laws carrying the death penalty are used against persons exercising their rights to freedom of expression, thought, conscience, religion, and peaceful assembly and association, and that persons belonging to religious or ethnic minorities are disproportionately represented among those sentenced to the death penalty.​
