In the last week or so alone, multiple Americans have been freed by the Trump administration, without sending pallets of cash to the unfriendly regimes.

The coming collapse of China. Still happening?
Author Gordon Chang predicted China's collapse back in 2001. In 2012 he held firm in his beliefs, making a number of factual observations, although he was off on his timing.
Last year, he said that Trump's strategy on China is working:
Recently Chang sat down with Mark Levin to discuss China and North Korea. The insights are itneresting.

Capitalism Isn't Cool!
Don't worry, I haven't drank some leftist Kool-Aid. This is simply a fascinating test of YouTube's impartiality by Dave Rubin:
Here's the original important, but demonitized video Dave Rubin put on YouTube:
On Again, Off Again North Korea Summit will happen
In Brief, the on again off again USA - North Korea summit between president Trump and Korean leader Kim Jung Un is going to happen. It might not happen for months, but it will happen. And it will happen before November. Korea needs it, despite the posturing because they are not only getting pressure from China but Kim Jung Un can cement his place in North Korean history as a standout from his familial predecessors. Or at a minimum as a way to stall American until the next Chamberlainian Democrat president comes along and appeases his nuclear ambitions. China needs it as something to placate president Trump as a success he can share before the midterm elections in the hope that he will owe them something in respect to American-Chinese relations and other issues (think ZTE for example). And of course president Trump needs it for the aforementioned domestic political reasons.
President Trump's abrupt cancellation was two things (1) a negotiation ploy to pressure Kim Jong Un to back off his rhetoric and (2) a chance to look tough at home. It was destined to be reversed shortly afterwards and it was.
No surprise. The summit will happen. Not only that, it will produce some positive result. Mark my words.
There's something serious to this
Last week Gateway Pundit posted a somewhat humorous series of jabs about Hillary Clinton's desire to be CEO of Facebook. The idea is silly. Facebook would not be moving away from Fake News but literally embracing a specific agenda. While Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg might share a political viewpoint with the heavily left-leaning former first lady and twice-failed presidential candidate, the move seems like it would invite far too much criticism to be a serious consideration for the company.
HILLARY CLINTON WANTS TO BE CEO OF FACEBOOK.— Dr. Duke Pesta (@DukePesta) May 25, 2018
BECAUSE ONE SERVER WITH SENSITIVE INFORMATION ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ISN’T ENOUGH.https://t.co/iSAcEfOrqz#OneServerToRuleThemAll pic.twitter.com/O8Y1vURfWw
But the underlying issues are serious: (1) both Twitter and Facebook have exhibited anti-conservative activities, not just bias. Gateway Pundit and Project Veritas have both exposed some of this in the past. And the potentially more serious (2) Hillary Clinton is still seeking ways to warp the political direction of the country to both the far left and to ways that can somehow benefit her financially.
I can only speculate as to how (so I won't at this point), but there's no indication that those dual goals have been abandoned by the Clintons. While the Democrats seem to finally be trying to distance themselves from the death grip of the Clintons, clearly Hillary is not ready to cede authority and will continue looking for new avenues to advance her agenda, even if it is not via the presidency.
What is Memorial Day
I've been busy over the last week and missed a lot of posting opportunities. One particular example was the Saturday Learning Series. I wanted to post an explainer of what purpose Memorial Day actually serves. It's not a day to go see the latest Marvel comics movie. It's a day to remember the service and sacrifice of others. It's a solemn day.
Here's what it really means.
