I have a recommendation for anybody who wants one. Throw away your suit, cash in your chips, go to the website If you want to live your dreams like I'm living mine go to the website Emini S&P Trading Secret, I believe you can just Google them and find them. These guys will teach you how to trade and you can make all the money you need to in order to live a great lifestyle. Then move to Thailand like I have from Florida and really enjoy yourself like I am. The Internet here in Thailand works great for trading! Plus you can't beat the women.

What a shame. You are 'extremely committed' to Asia by not attending Asia's major events.
Just stay put and keep your mouth shut. Nobody will think that you are dumb.

Better for USA to be less engaged. They only attempt to sow discord, create dissent and start wars. USA has turned out to be a huge hypocrite and an awful ally.Wilbur is just lying for the con man Trump.
