I am grateful for the mid term election results. Now at least we have a fighting chance and remaining decent. We are good, decent people, who welcome immigrants, and we do not take little children away from their parents and lock little children in cages.
We also are not going to poison our planet without a fight. And if we are smart we can keep some of the new jobs created by the green economy here in the USA, we can invent the new equipment and we can manufacture it. And France needs jobs too, along with other allies.
I am also against building the wall. It is a racist, bullshit plan, and if it was not racist it would be built on the border with Canada. Trump is racist against people with brown skin. Trump's wife Melania was born in Slovenia, and Ivana was born in the Czech Republic, so obviously Trump is not racist against foreign people with white skin, but for some reason he hates people with brown skin. I personally think that Salma Hayek is hotter than any of the Trump women, along with Shakira, and Sofia Vergara.
On the issue of Ivanka Trump, I like her better than I like her father. Ivanka has been working tirelessly to help our nation, and women and people around the world. And I support women owning and running businesses, I invite them to create jobs here in California. I have had women bosses, including when I worked for Suzanne Pleshette, women make great bosses.
I like the new president in Colombia, President Ivan Duque Marquez, whom attended Harvard, the USA should continue to have good relations with Colombia, and we should expand trade. We have made great strides to reduce the cocaine trade, and now people are more interested in the growing coffee trade. Charities and groups and government programs to educate the children in Colombia are also bearing fruit, and programs need to be expanded in terms of educating the children, etc. Colombia can also be a wonderful ally in terms of handling the situation in Venezuela.
On the issue of Venezuela, we cannot let the children starve. We need to feed the children and people of Venezuela. And the people of Venezuela need to rebuild their economy, and the women can help to create jobs right along with the men, they should all be given small business loans to create jobs, etc. And Venezuela needs to grow more food, and they need to raise more animals for food, and they need to expand fishing, etc, the people of Venezuela need to feed their own nation. And teachers need to go to Venezuela to teach them economics, and business, etc. And Venezuela can expand trade with Australia, etc.
On the issue of the Philippines, the current leader, Duterte, is loved by his people, even though many think that some of his ideas are harsh. The Philippines needs to expand trade with the world, and also they can invite the Greek businesses to invest in companies in the Philippines, etc, the Greeks do not have a big workforce, but they can use the Philippines and the huge workforce in the Philippines. The Philippines can also grow their tourism industry, like Hawaii and Tahiti. I also recommend that American companies hire Filipino immigrants, they are good, hard-working, English speaking, Christian, people, the USA can hire truck drivers from the Philippines, and also Filipino doctors and nurses. The same with Australia, and France, and Italy, they can hire doctors and nurses from the Philippines, and truck drivers, etc, and Filipinos can work in the vineyards too, etc.
In the USA, I expect great things for Nevada. A lot of clean healthy growth has been happening in Nevada. And Nevada is a good place for the new immigrants to come to.
California is bouncing back slowly, California lost over five hundred thousand jobs to China alone, but California is going to be okay because of innovation, education, tourism, etc, etc, etc, along with aerospace and defense, etc, etc, etc, and the movie business, etc, etc, etc.
France is starving right now, and they are desperate, but they will bounce back. They need to renegotiate their trade deals, including with China, and they need to export cologne, perfume, lingerie, clothing, shoes, etc, etc, etc, around the world and especially in China, they need to open China up to French perfume, etc. Also the French can sell wine in China, and globally, and cheese, and French films, etc.
Italy is doing better than France, and the Italian wine industry is doing great. Italy and France both benefit from tourists. The Italians are very industrious and creative, and their products are always high quality, and Italian products are popular all over the world. Italian exports will sell anywhere people can afford to buy the best, highest quality items, such as Italian suits, Italian shoes, Italian cars, etc, etc, etc.
On the issue of Russia, they all want to be Americans, like the Japanese. They love American clothes, American shoes, American music and American entertainment, etc. Metallica could fill auditoriums in Russia every day of the week. Russians love fast food, and pizza, etc. The Russians are also big in the arts, they helped to invent modern acting, and theatre, as well as making contributions in Ballet, etc. The Russians make good immigrants here in the USA, they are hard workers, and they would be good in places such as Detroit, and Cleveland, etc, and they can handle the cold areas. On the issue of marketing vacations to the Russians, I would recommend offering them vacations in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and also in Australia, as the Russians make more money they will be able to spend more money on vacations and travel. We need to help to guide the Russians in the right direction.
On the issue of China... China needs labor unions which are independent of the government, and the workers of China need fair pay and good treatment. China also need freedom, and democracy, along with improved human rights. It will take wisdom and patience to help China to evolve peacefully, but it can happen, just as with the USSR. And China can be a good ally and friend once they have freedom, democracy, and improved human rights, and once the issues are worked out with trade, etc, etc, etc.
On the issue of California... Democrat Sabrina Cervantes is rising fast as a popular player in state government, and she is helping to bring more jobs to Southern California...
