The Shanghai stock market seems to be going though gang busters.

The Shanghai stock market seems to be going though the gang busters. Yet the Chinese economy is slowing down so what is up? Interest in U.S, Europe and much of world are so low it does pay to deposit money in banks, so where does one put ones money? Bonds? Again if interest are once more up the bonds lose value and often they don't pay much in interest. Real Estate? Too risky after 2008 melt down. So stock markets maybe the only game in town.

Should the West make an alliance with Bashar- al Assed to fight ISIS ?

In World War Two we make an alliance with Stalin, so why can't we make an alliance with Bashar - al Assad to fight ISIS?
True enough Bashar-al Assad is an evil man, but is he more evil then Stalin? I think not! I think sometimes you have made an alliance with evil to fight a greater evil. 

A letter to the editor I got pubished in the Record on 4/9/15 on Rand Paul

On 4/9/15 a letter to the editor I wrote was published in the Record(the largest newspaper in Northern New Jersey) about Rand Paul. This is what appear in the paper" Regarding "Paul enters race, focuses on angry voters (Page A-7, April 8):
Rand Paul has declared for president, but the question is, in what direction would take the country?
Would he be a supporter of the people or a modern day Paul Revere warning us that the " the bureaucracies are coming, the bureaucracies are coming?
Still, it is foreign policy that might lead Paul astray. Does he represent the old Republican Party of Ohio Sen. Robert Taft, an isolationist, or the foreign policy of Ronald Reagan, which was one of the most successful in America history and the antithesis of Taft's?
I also wonder if Paul would throw his father, former Rep. Ron Paul, under the proverbial bus. If that happens, Rand Paul will have no direction home, but he just might have a path that leads to the White House.
