Chinese Hegemony


China is flexing its expansionist muscles ... making outrageous claims to large swaths of the South China Sea ... and building artificial islands to reinforce its sea lanes, oil exploration and fishing assertions in this region. All of its Asian neighbors (the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia) are pushing back and the Philippines just won a important victory in the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague wherein China's claims have been denied ... see: AP Story. Unfortunately this decision in the Netherlands carries no force of real law ... just moral suasion ... and China is not swayed by suasion. This blatant Chinese hegemony presents one of the most serious threats to world peace in quite a few years.

In a related matter, President Obummer, after he returns from his current Black Lives Matter trip, is planning a few rounds of golf and a White House rap concert.

Consequences


President Obummer and a phalanx of pissants have stated that global warming is at the root of terrorism ,,, see: Washington Post Story? This sounds logical to me ... and leads me to disclose the following other consequences I've uncovered of our planet's heating up 0.74 degrees Celsius over that last 110 years.

- Many of the best Hollywood actors and actresses of the 1940s and 1950s have passed away
- Pope Francis has donated all the Vatican's vast treasure to Save the Whales (he hasn't?)
- Michelle Obama's school lunches have made our kids thin (could also be because they don't eat them)
- Transgender bathrooms have been conscripted
- Lady Gaga invented twerking out of desperation
- China has decided to turn the entire South China Sea into a military base and amusement park
- Tipper Gore has divorced Al Gore (could also be because he lost the chad war)
- The U.S. economy has been stagnant for the last seven years
- Vladamir Putin of Russia keeps taking off his shirt
- HIV/AIDS has infected large swaths of the other sexes
 - President William Jefferson Clinton, against his will, became oversexed
- Blogging has become a popular way of exhibiting societal frustration

More for later once I've sobered up ...
