In January, then-president elect Trump told the German newspaper Bild about BMWs coming to the U.S. from a plant scheduled to open in Mexico in 2019 “They can build cars for the US, but they’ll pay 35 percent taxes on every car that comes to the US.” BMW has fallen to second place in the luxury […]
Au Revoir Paris, Bonjour America
Before the likes of billionaires Tom Steyer and Elon Musk, media darlings Tom Brokaw and Paul Krugman, celebrities Bette Midler and Leo DiCaprio get too lathered up about President Trump’s cancelling of the Paris Agreement, they might want to read what Patrick J. Michaels, director of the Center for the Study of Science at the […]
Mega-Trend: Millennials Associate Homeownership with the American Dream More So Than Generation X or Baby Boomers
Alan Berger and Joel Kotkin, authors of Infinite Suburbia, recently had a good interview with the Hyperloop One blog on the resurgence of suburbia. I thought this was interesting: From 1980 to 2003 in the U.S., rural landmass conversion to urbanized areas was about the size of New York State. From 2003 to 2030 the […]
World’s Largest Plane—Stratolaunch—Emerges from Its Hangar for the First Time
Stratolaunch Systems, founded by Paul Allen in 2011, is looking to develop an air launched platform that will make low Earth orbit (LEO) space launches more like airport-style takeoffs. With a wingspan that stretches the length of a football field, the Stratolaunch is ranked among the largest aircrafts in history. It has six Boeing 747 […]
China Claims to Have Developed “Ultra-Fast” Anti-Missile Interceptor
An article in the China Daily is reporting that the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp. (CASIC) claims it has developed a new “ultra-fast” anti-missile interceptor capable of hitting a projectile flying “10 times faster than a bullet.” Experts are indicating its range is between 10km to 100km with a maximum velocity around 12,000 km/h. […]
Donald Trump—the Vulgarian at the Gates?
The Washington establishment—Republicans, Democrats, the Beltway media—loath Donald Trump and are still “bitterly angry that their wisdom was spat upon by the voters,” writes John Kass in the Chicago Tribune. Yes, Trump has been caught in lies. Yes he is the twittering vulgar showman presiding in a White House surrounded by chaos. And yes, he […]
Is it Time to Buy Your Own Bordeaux Chateau?
French wine country, whether your pick is Burgundy, the Loire Valley, Champagne or legendary Bordeaux offers striking opportunities. Debbie and I travel to France’s countryside twice a year, and have run into a surprising number of Americans who have made purchases ranging from a run down old Provence farmhouse with ancient olive trees and some […]
Where to Live to Make a Living? Try this Southern Gem
If you’re looking for a place to live and work it’s hard to beat Charleston-North Charleston, South Carolina, ranking 4th for mid-sized cities in the report by Joel Kotkin of newgeography.com and Dr. Michael Shires: 2017 Best Cities for Growth. A huge bonus for South Carolina is that it’s a right to work state. Workers can’t be forced to join a […]
Dr. John Day’s 7 Life-Transforming Lessons.
The heart condition A-Fib is fast becoming a front and center subject for Americans over 50. I have found Dr. John Day’s (author of The Longevity Plan: Seven Life-Transforming Lessons from Ancient China) work to be especially informative on the issue and rarely miss out on one of Dr. Day’s insightful messages. John takes a look at […]
What Happened to the America First Foreign Policy Voters Were Promised?
Daniel Larison rips apart the President’s foreign trip as a complete failure. Aside from cow-towing to the Saudis, who Larison says are the “one relationship” America should be fleeing, Trump’s trip did little to restore confidence in American leadership. H.R. McMaster and Gary Cohn gamely try to spin Trump’s foreign trip as something other than the failure that it […]
