On #Outsiders: As Our Team Works Away.....

I was looking at the on-going work the team has been done as it has continued its' efforts on the US Political Scene.    I view it as entertaining to watch as Donald Trump continues its' ascendancy as a major political force.   A day does not go by before he calls people idiots, in component and fools. 

I will defer to the team on the commentary forthcoming in "Notations".    One thing that was really bothersome to me was how Donald Trump took on The Holy Father.   The Holy Father has been speaking out against the excesses in our World today as he has worked to transform the Catholic Church.    Although Trump called him a "good man", he said he'd threaten him with ISIS.   This is as some major questions are swiverling about his business dealings as reported by a column by David Cay Johnson

Our team has also been assessing the broader World though.   As our team worked away, the tumble in the Dow was of profound concern as our team continued its' daily #China watch.    The slowdown is going to present challenges unforeseen up to now.

 

Around @DailyOutsider: Brief Thoughts on today in #Outsiders & Thoughts on the #IranDeal

It has been another busy day as we've been working on the Daily Roundup, sharing our "watch" series on Twitter as we finished our "Notations" series for the day.   It has been a fun day so far.

On my personal Facebook page, I had a chance to review this profound perceptive thought  which I wanted to report on.  Professor Daryaee is one of the leading experts on Iran who serves as a Professor at the University of California in Irvine.    His comments are so perceptive in putting the arguments in perspective.    The need to look ahead is ever so crucial.    The implicit message from Professor Daryaee is simple: we can play the blame game all day long--the question is what about the day after tomorrow as the debate over the #IranDeal continues.

  

Dear Friends: Today is an important day that ties the United States and Iran. No, it is not the 1980 Hostage Crisis,...

On the Prowl For the Week-End: A Letter To All Americans

As I have been working away on commitments here in #Outsiders, I also received this which was published earlier this week in the New York Times signed by leading lights of the Iranian American Community.  

I added my name to the Digital copy available  at www.supportpeace.org .     I made it a point of sharing that with Senator Flake over his twitter Account and Congressman Rohrabacher's Staff earlier as the debate continues over the #IranDeal:
