I can just imagine the conversations at CNN, WaPo, etc now: “Listen, trying to turn Jared Kushner into a tar baby because he can't recall 3 emails out of 30,000 just isn’t getting us any traction. Anyway, Ivanka is the real problem. Governments and citizens adore her no matter where she goes – Saudi Arabia, China, and India. Lay off Melania. Aim all weapons at Ivanka, in order to discredit President Trump”
The notion that Trump will be convicted of “russian collusion” based on old emails from family and friends was always a stretch. The FBI and Mueller have been looking into this for a year and half now. The results to date? A half dozen wire transfers by Manafort years before he even signed onto the Trump campaign. Either there’s no fire to go with all the media smoke and mirrors, or this investigation is the most inept in history, no?
Back to Ivanka.
India loves her. So much that they cleaned out an entire park full of beggars; no mean feat in a country where begging has been a family tradition handed down over generations. Ivanka’s visit appears to have two missions: assure India of our trade and military alliances, after recent similar reassurances to the Saudis. And wave the flag for women’s empowerment, and a living wage.
Kapow! There go those liberal heads, exploding again.
American “progressives” assert you can’t live well in San Francisco on $8 an hour. Earth to progressives - $15 an hour isn’t going to do the trick either. You want to see real poverty and misery? Accompany Ivanka to India. The wealth gap there makes America look like a one - class society. Most people in India don’t have access to clean water, or a place to relieve their bladders/bowels. 50 years of socialism tends to result in horrors like that.
Not that capitalism has been an immediate cure for what ails India either. Their economy is still based low tech agriculture. They don’t export cars, computers, televisions, cell phones, aircraft, or financial services. Those are the major avenues to wealth creation. Not cotton, peanuts, tea, and millet.
And no congratulating yourself, Mr. Progressive, if you bought a bag of Basmati Rice at the international market. Most Basmati doesn’t even come from India these days. Neither does most tea.
Ivanka’s message was straightforward and concise. Rising living standards and self sufficiency cannot be achieved by relegating half your population to ignorance and menial labor.
China has already awakened to this fact. When India does as well, you will recognize it because smartphones from Mumbai and cars from Calcutta will be on sale for half the amount we’re paying for iPhones and Hondas.
I’m just saying – if the left can’t stop Ivanka, peace might break out anywhere, and living standards could rise as well.
