There is no duty to sacrifice one's life or happiness to engage in a losing battle. Let's leave the decision up to those heroes, and roll out the red carpet for them, as they deserve. https://t.co/jCha4Typ8T

Wouldn't you say his first tweet of the day today should be something welcoming #HongKongers? Instead…

Perhaps he's trying to give some red meat to his supporters, because he knows he messed up by even thinking of inviting the Taliban here? https://t.co/RrTopuubml

Legalize Privacy

Why couldn't they just make it awesome–like Ms. PacMan–without the #affirmativeaction nonsense? https://t.co/LvwH4YjiMG

If you’ve been following me this week, you’ve seen that there are now three ways to support the work that I do. First, there’s what some of you have been doing here via my blog: supporting me via PayPal. Second, I rebooted my account on Patreon. And third, I just joined–and finally got approved yesterday–on Subscribe Star.

Today I held a special Hangout for “Early Bird” supporters/patrons/subscribers, and the recording of that hangout will be available to anyone who signs up to support me, in any of those ways. Thanks to the few of you who joined me live, particularly to Daniel for the impromptu discussion! Look forward to doing another Hangout next Friday.

Thanks for your support!

Lots to discuss with Hong Kong/China, including Trump’s vacillations on the “Trade War.” Other stories, too, see Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., we plan to discuss today.
