What a momentous milestone in the history of China, and in the history of the mankind.  Stay tuned for more...

THE DONALD RE-ELECTED!

 FIRSTLY, A MEA CULPA FOR OUR NOVEMBER 1 ESSAY.  WE GOT IT WRONG, ALONG WITH THE FAKE NEWS.  THE PEOPLE OUTFOXED THE MEDIA -- ONCE AGAIN.


WE ARE CALLING THE ELECTION FOR TRUMP.  IT APPEARS THAT SLEEPY/SENILE JOE MANAGED TO FLIP ARIZONA(!) AND IOWA.  BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME.  THE RED WALL OF THE SOUTHERN STATES -- INCLUDING GEORGIA AND NORTH CAROLINA-- REMAINS STRONG.  AND THE DONALD IS IN A GOOD PLACE VIS-A-VIS MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, AND FLORIDA.


WE THINK THE PRESIDENT'S RELENTLESS AND TIRELESS CAMPAIGNS DURING THE LAST THREE DAYS OF THE RACE MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD!

MATT DRUDGE HAS EGGS ON  HIS FACE!

TRUMP LIKELY TO LOSE ON TUESDAY

WHICH MEANS THAT THE HARRIS/BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TAKES OVER THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH ALONG WITH AN ENLARGED MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. (YES, WE SAID THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.) THE SENATE REMAINS TOO CLOSE TO CALL.

SLEEPY AND SENILE, JOE BIDEN WILL BE TOO SICK TO GOVERN.  SO, THAT MOST UNLIKEABLE DEMOCRAT, THE CURRENT VERY JUNIOR SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA, WILL GOVERN THE COUNTRY, EFFECTIVELY BECOMING THE FIRST SOUTH ASIAN PERSON TO HOLD THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE LAND.  IT WILL BE HISTORIC.

BUT AT WHAT COST TO THE COUNTRY?  SHE'S INEXPERIENCED AND HAS NO POLITICAL ANCHOR OTHER THAN HER SELF-INTEREST.  DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS, SHE WILL PLACATE THE LEFT, RESULTING IN A MASSIVE SHOCK TO THE ECONOMY.  WE PREDICT THAT THE STOCK MARKET WILL TANK BY 25% DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THE HARRIS/BIDEN GOVERNMENT.  SHE WILL LIKELY REVERSE COURSE AFTER THE  2022 MID-TERM ELECTION.  WE EXPECT A MODERATE BOUNCE-BACK IN THE STOCK  MARKET DURING THE 2022-24 TIME FRAME.

BUCKLE UP FOR A BUMPY RIDE!

WHY DOES USC HATE CHINESE SO MUCH?

 A USC PROFESSOR OF COMMUNICATION STUDIES WAS SUSPENDED FOR USING A SIMPLE MANDARIN PHRASE IN CLASS.  MANDARIN CHINESE IS A BEAUTIFUL, TONAL LANGUAGE THAT IS SPOKEN BY 1.7 BILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD.

WHY DOES USC CONTINUE TO HATE THE CHINESE PEOPLE AND ITS CULTURE SO MUCH?  

A FEW YEARS AGO, THEY ALLOWED THEIR CHINESE STUDENTS TO BE KILLED IN SOUTH CENTRAL LOS ANGELES.

THEY ARE A MORALLY BANKRUPT INSTITUTION.

She's Back...This Time with the Workers' Party of Singapore




THE FAIRBANK REPORT WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENDORSES NICOLE SEAH XUELING AND THE WORKERS' PARTY OF SINGAPORE IN THE CITY-STATE'S JULY 10 GENERAL ELECTION.  NICOLE MADE HER DEBUT IN 2011.  ALTHOUGH SHE DID NOT WIN, SHE MADE A HUGE IMPRESSION ON THE PUBLIC AND ESPECIALLY IN CYBERSPACE.

SHE WILL DO WELL THIS TIME AROUND BECAUSE OF EXPERIENCE, NAME RECOGNITION, AND HER AFFILIATION WITH A CREDIBLE OPPOSITION PARTY.

Palpable Fear

In light of the weeks-long social unrest throughout the United States instigated by the daylight murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, things are happening in the America that will have permanent repercussions.

Although it feels like several months ago, it has, in fact, been less than a month that Floyd was killed.  So, the country is still in shock, and people and institutions are reacting under high adrenaline.


Some of these reactions include the dismissal of people from their jobs for holding a different view of the riots/people's democratic revolution/revolt/protests/uprising from that of the dominant narrative espoused by the racialists.


Others include the pulling down of historical statues and renaming of public edifices.  By the way, these two actions occur in every revolution.


Facebook and other media are being pilloried for continuing to carry "undesirable" contents.   They will probably cave to political and social pressures in the coming weeks.


No doubt the fervor will eventually die down, and cooler heads will prevail.  Equally true is that the new normal is going to be very different from the old normal in America.  Freedom of speech and expression has gotten a bit less free.  While extant, the "out-of-bound" markers for what one can say and do just got a bit tighter and may be formalized in the form of a list of topics that one can and cannot say, as they have in Singapore.


It's interesting to note that in China, since the Deng Xiaoping reforms of the late 1970s, the space for civil society has grown exponentially, while in the United States -- land of the free -- that space has diminished.  Of course, on the absolute scale, we remain leaps and bounds freer than Red China.  But on the trajectory level, we are moving in a less free direction.  Which is not necessary a bad thing but an interesting development.


Not sure that anyone is aware of this phenomenon because the frog is being slowly boiled...

TWO TRILLION DOLLARS OF FREE $$$$$$$$$$

MOMENTS AGO, THE SENATE PASSED A $2 TRILLION BAIL-OUT FOR STATE/LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, SCHOOLS, SMALL BUSINESSES, BIG BUSINESSES, SLOUCHERS, LACTATING MOMS, SOCCER MOMS, LEFT-HANDED LESBIAN MOMS, BOTTOM TWINKS, ILLEGAL ALIENS, SPACE ALIENS, AND PEOPLE WITH THICK NOSES.

JUST PRINT THE MONEY, DON...USE THE DITTO MACHINES TO PRINT THE DOE!

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MONEY COMING FROM?  FROM THIN AIR.

BUSH, JR. AND OBAMA CREATED THIS SICKENING PRECEDENT IN 2008/2009.  IF THERE'S A CRISIS -- REAL OR FICTIVE -- THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO PRINT AND DISTRIBUTE MONEY.  IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE GOING TO CREATE "VALUE" OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL.

MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHIN' AT ALL...

end of the world...

THE CURRENT CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD COULD TRIGGER THE MUCH EXPECTED RECESSION.  MAJOR AREAS OF CHINA, THE WORLD'S LARGEST ECONOMY IN PURCHASING PARITY TERMS, HAVE STOPPED WORKING.  THE DOMINO EFFECT IS EASY TO SEE.

IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF DEATHS AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE INFECTED, THIS PANDEMIC HAS SURPASSED THOSE OF SARS IN 2003.

THE WORLD PRESS AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB STEMMING PANIC.  BUT THIS COULD ONLY WORK FOR SO LONG BEFORE PEOPLE REALIZE THE SEVERITY OF THE CRISIS.

ANOTHER HOT ASIAN PORN STAR: LULU CHU



The new year brings another hot Asian-American porn star in the personage of Lulu Chu (an unfortunate but understandable stage name choice).

Cute as a button, Lulu carries on the torch for such industry luminaries as Evelyn Lin (the forever queen of Asian porn), Alina Li, and Amai Liu, among many others.

She's new to the industry, so we will see if she lasts...
