President Trump, You are Going To Have To Do The Unthinkable: Your Job

Welcome to a Late Show I'm Steve Colbert happy birthday everybody today is a big one because it is the 50th birthday the big 5 oh and I got to say earth is still looking good she's just getting hotter every year I mean even with the receding glaciers and put on a little water weight around the coastline and earth is having kind of a moment right now cause with people staying home the earth is turning wilder cleaner with reduce CO2 better air quality and animals roaming the city streets turns out the best present for Earth Day is the same as the best present for Mother's Day time away from her children just get all the unruly humans out of her hair so mother earth can sit in a bubble bath and watch Outlander now while human stay inside the world cities are getting reclaimed by the animals a Puma roamed the streets of Santiago Chile in India hungry monkeys have been entering homes and opening refrigerators to look for food and coyotes have been seen along Chicago's Michigan Avenue a coyote on Michigan Ave that's crazy usually what with the traffic they have to take Lakeshore drive so don't be surprised if you see a wild animal wandering into your normal environment oh God here's one now come here come here oh God is the wild snuggle spaniel he scavenging for smoke Jays oh who's reclaiming the earth from the humans you are art he loves Maine he loves this here bye no now you have to leave you can't just chew on the electrical cords out out go mush thanks Benny I might need a lint roller the chaotic the coyotes weren't the only wild animals doing their thing said was president trump who celebrated Earth Day by holding a tree planting ceremony or as he said we're doing something I love doing planting trees I've always loved it yes two things Donald Trump has definitely always loved manual labor and the thing we're fruit comes from trump finally got around to actually planting the tree here he is getting his exercise for the decade I've gotten a lot of practice at my press conferences every day I just dig that hole deeper and deeper and deeper trump also celebrated Earth Day by threatening to blow up chunks of the planet tweeting I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they're asked our ships at sea you read that right he's going to shoot down boats we must respond to Iran’s flying gunboats there just as dangerous as their flying carpets it's a whole new world a new fantastic point of view no what how's it go no no or where do you go don't you dare close your eyes what trump's responding to is video from the Navy showing that Iranian vessels harassed American warships in the Arabian Sea OK that's not good but why tweet about Iran now for that matter why in new ban on immigration no one can fly anyway right now you might as well ban mosh pits but I have a theory a theory I tell you about these random tweets trump's approval ratings are falling and 2/3 of Americans say he was too slow to respond to the virus disapproval of trump is spreading faster than than something whatever spreads really quickly if you're dumb enough to ignore it so he is desperate to change the subject and I’m not the only one who is noticed it House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this yesterday ignores his own responsibility and assigns blame instead of taking responsibility paying attention to science recognizing the word of the role of governance and all of this to get the job done for the American people and so he's engaged in distractions like immigration distractions like supporting people in the street they're all distractions away from the fact that known fact that he's a total failure when it comes to testing Mr. President you may want to get tested because that was one sick burn trump fired back with an official response to the speaker lookout flying around in gunboats run for your lives sincerely president Donald J trump CC Jaffar here's the thing trump's attempt to change the subject to immigration or to China or Iran or do anything is not going to work one Republican close to the White House told Politico that messaging alone cannot solve the political challenge the pandemic presents for trump OK how 'bout messaging and sitting on my enormous dampers keister cause I'm willing to do anything as long as it doesn't involve doing anything the unnamed Republican predicted if the testing does not get sorted out as soon as possible it will be another nail in an almost closed coffin well that's an unfortunate metaphor during a global pandemic plus if you want to get trump's attention I'd say it's a nail in an almost empty chicken bucket trump's normal tricks he uses to change the narrative aren't working because it's hard to come up with a more gripping narrative than stay inside or you might die you can tweet all you want but it's hard to capture people's hearts and minds when they're worried about their hearts and lungs you can't have bill Barr redact the virus or call Ukraine to get dirt on Hunter virus or get Mitch McConnell to have 50 one Republicans vote that there is no virus you can't even pay the virus $130,000 to stay quiet which is too bad because this virus is definitely spanking your *** so if you want to keep your job you're going to have to do the unthinkable your job you know make America great again trump held another one of his coronavirus distracted phones last night and he tried to put a positive spin on how things are going we continue to gain ground in the war against the unseen enemy and I see light at the end of the tunnel I rationally see a lot of life at the end of the tunnel and we're starting the process so the light is getting brighter and brighter every day the light is also making a really really fun train noise everybody keeps yelling Mr. President get off the tracks but I'm staying focused on that approaching light it's coming pretty fast whatever trump is seeing in that tunnel certain states like Georgia or ignoring the advice of experts and starting to reopen already so he and his team were asked about how exactly that supposed to work safely have hair salons in nail salons and tattoo parlors where people where where is this is in Georgia where where people have to inherently be close together so if there's a way that people can social distance and do those things then they can do those things I don't know how but people are very creative yes barbers and hair style is just need to be very creative like duct taping hair Clippers to a couple of yardsticks or just submerging all their customers in barricade Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin the nun also took some questions during the briefing about large companies accepting small business loans and trump jumped in with his own thoughts Mr. secretary are you going to request that those other companies obviously Shake Shack was not alone in being a big company that got money in this region that money or we could pay back the money and they shouldn't be taking it they almost only going to see that means you'll naturally engineering they started doing it in Spanish yeah Harvard you know the deal you don't get to take millions of dollars unless you also agree to take Jerrod swell Harvard responded to the president's attack saying that it had not received any funds through the PPP but had received funds through the cares act to provide assistance to students facing urgent financial needs due to COVID-19 OK that's a solid Fact Check sounds like somebody at Harvard went to Harvard her trump was also asked about how the pandemic is affecting workers at his own properties your Florida clubs have had to furlough have you thought about asking her family members workers on the payroll to help him into the federal is around you not allowed to have the golf courses open you can't have the clubs open you can't have anything to have a lot of different properties but again my children run them and I love my children and I wish them well I look forward to comparing my numbers to my children's numbers I think I'll do better that's an insane thing for a father to say Can you imagine someone saying anything like that on their deathbed children gather round I just want you to know that I love being better than all of you look at my numbers you're human garbage end scene one guy who super gung ho

Options for Renting a Automotive in Mexico

If you're planning a trip to one of Mexico's many tourist destinations, somewhere off the beaten path or even dreaming about a road trip across Mexico, one of the things you'll want to research and prepare in advance is a car rental. You're no doubt very excited about your trip, but some prospective travelers start to get cold feet when they start researching because so many people have posted about their bad experiences with XYZ Company on sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp. First, it's important to remember that people are much more likely to write a review about a bad experience than a good one (no news is good news), so you definitely shouldn't let that make you second guess your decision to go on vacation in Mexico. Second, many tourists from the US, UK and Canada have bad experiences because they didn't do enough research before leaving town. To make sure that doesn't happen to you, make sure you keep these tips for renting a car in Mexico in mind before you go. 1: Know what you need to rent a car in Mexico The last thing you want is to show up at the rental car office to pick up your vehicle only to find you don't have the required documentations. Here's what you'll need: • Driver aged 25 or older • Valid driver's license written in Latin characters (not Chinese, Arabic, Russian, etc.) • An international driver's license if your original is written in another type of characters • Credit card • A second form of photo identification if your driver's license has no picture • Proof of CDW insurance (may be purchased at the rental office, may be included as a benefit on your credit card or travel insurance policy) • Proof of PLI insurance (PLI MUST be purchased from the rental company) 2: Book your Mexican car rental online ahead of time You're more likely to get a better deal on your car rental if you have a rate locked in before you get to the counter. This also gives you plenty of time to comfortably read over the fine print and terms of the rental agreement so you know what is included and what isn't. Which brings us to Tip #3... 3: Read the fine print on the car rental agreement It's important to know what's included in the quoted price. You might find a major discount travel website offering rental cars in Mexico at rates of $8 USD a day - sounds great! Until you get to the rental office and learn that doesn't include any of the required insurance coverage, or taxes, or fees. Insurance can double or triple the cost of a rental car, and Mexico has a fairly high sales tax called "IVA" (Value Added Tax in Spanish). 4: Don't assume {that a} US-based car rental company is better than a Mexican one Many of the worst reviews online are from US and European tourists who booked their car rental with a company they were familiar with from their home company, only to find that they operated very differently in Mexico. The lesson here is, you can't blindly choose or rule out a car rental company by where it is headquartered. You have to do your independent research. Read the full article

Why Having a Survival Gear in Your Automotive Is Essential

Different parts of the country are prone to different natural disasters. But there are countless situations that we can find ourselves in where we need to be prepared. With winter approaching, there are many places around the country that will receive snowfall. You can never quite predict how bad a storm is until you are there. Sometimes by driving slow you can navigate through a storm, but there are situations where it is snowing too hard to see and the roads are too deep to drive in. Short drives can take hours to navigate. If you do get stranded in a blizzard you will want to be prepared to wait for a snow plow or for the storm to pass. Without the right equipment you could be serious health risks, including hypothermia, exposure, or even death. Every year there are stories in the news about people who are stranded and are not able to get themselves out. If help does not come quickly, many people do not make it. Some of the things you will want to have in the trunk of your car would be: Shovel Jumper cable Blanket Protein bar Flashlight Multi-tool knife Old cell phone fully charged Lighter or waterproof matches Duct tape Compass Map Reflective tape or flares First Aid Kit Not only are these items useful in case of a snowstorm or blizzard, they can come in handy in many other situations where you would be able to either help yourself or someone else. Stay warm and stay calm. Avoid venturing out in the storm as many people can become lost or disoriented and do not have a shelter if the storm worsens. Read the full article

Sick Autos | Hundreds and 1000's Might Be on the Avenue

What is a sick car? I am referring to cars that are lacking normal maintenance and/or may need some type of mechanical work. Routine maintenance of a car consists of things like regular oil change, keeping your brakes in good condition, and enough tread on the tires to be considered safe on the road. Some more serious items of repair would be radiator, belts, or even transmission problems. The longer routine and more serious repairs are delayed, the more likely your sick car will either run poorly or just stop running at all. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in June, the number of unemployed persons was 14.6 million; the unemployment rate was 9.5 percent. We also have thousands of people that have given up looking for work, as well as families working in minimum-wage jobs. That being said, we have a lot of folks with a limited amount of money trying to maintain their vehicles. It should be especially noted that this is a catch 22 situation for the unemployed. Without transportation, it's difficult to find and keep a job-but without a job it's difficult to pay for maintenance and repair of a car. If you have a sick car or finances are tight, here are some suggestions that may help: 1. Baby Your Car--This is very important. Run your car either at the speed limit or just below. Don't slam the brakes on at stops; ease into braking. These two things will slow down the wear on your tires and car. It will buy you time until you can get the needed repairs and maintenance done. Jack rabbit starts burn more gas and use more tread on the tires. 2. Phone Calls--Make phone calls instead of driving whenever you can. An example would be calling beforehand for store hours instead of driving to the store only to find out they are closed. If you conserve mileage, you preserve the life of your car. This actually makes sense even for healthy cars. 3. Car Pool--When going to gatherings or church, you can car pool. Nobody needs to know you are eliminating some of the trips your car makes. Take turns now and then with your friends to drive. If you do have a job, this is still a great idea to cut down on the usage of your car and high gas prices. 4. Do- It-Yourself--Of course, this is not for everyone. If you can do mechanical work, change your own oil and filter. Many specs and repair manuals can be found online for those wanting the challenge. This will save labor costs. Also look for discounted parts, including parts found at junkyards. Don't forget eBay also has cheap pricing on many auto parts. 5. Ask a Friend--Local mechanics may do small jobs for a minimal amount of money either out of their home garage or tucked away in an unadvertised locale. Sometimes, even retirees enjoy doing this type of work at a very reasonable rate. So, ask your friends for personal recommendations. This worked for me when I moved to a different state. 6. Barter or Exchange Services--If you have some type of talent or services you can trade off for car repair, try it. Perhaps you are good at cleaning. Offer to clean in exchange for car repair. You would be surprised these days what works! 7. Walk or Bike--Yes, don't always hop in the car when you can easily walk to wherever you are going. Biking to your local store is also an option; attach a small basket to your bike for the groceries. This is a real winner since you also benefit greatly from the increased physical exercise. 8. Public Transportation--Taking the bus is another great way to cut down on the usage of your car. If you live in a big city with a great transportation system, this may be the answer. This is another favorite of mine. I met some of the most memorable and lovable people riding public transportation. I saved a lot of money too. If you have a sick car and a limited budget, you may be able to implement some of these tips depending on your circumstances or where you live. Whatever you do though, make sure levels are full-such as oil, water, and transmission oil. Levels too low can result in engine shutdown. I know; it happened to me. Also be aware that your car may become "unsafe" for the road if certain repairs are delayed. However, sometimes without charge, a good mechanic can tell you if your car has reached that stage. Chances are your car will not get to that point. With a little bit of ingenuity and some of these tips, you may be able to return your car back to good health. Read the full article

Visionary Vehicles | Is the V Car the Reply to Our Points?

Formerly known as Visionary Vehicles, the V Vehicle Company is scheduled to produce a car that will meet all our economic and automotive needs. With a new model debuting at around $10,000, the V Car, may very well indeed be the car that we are all waiting for and dreaming about. If you could buy a brand new car for under 10 grand that would get at least 50 miles per gallon, would you buy it? Of course you would! As would millions of others who are in the market for the newest and latest thing in fuel efficiency. But will the V Car be reputable? Will it be well built? One of the company's biggest investors, legendary billionaire T. Boone Pickens, says "Yes, it will!" With someone like Pickens behind this company, we are sure to see a car that's new and innovative coming out sometime in 2011. There is even talk of a battery power/natural gas hybrid! The new V Car plant is located in Monroe, Louisiana in the old facility of the GM Guide Plant. Hopefully, the V Car will have better results in Monroe than the Guide Plant did. The residents are looking forward to 1400 new jobs coming into the area an opportunity to boost the local economy. You can bet that these Louisiana residents will be among the first buyers of the new V Cars once they hit the market. Is the V Car the answer to the oil crisis and the economic meltdown? Who knows. But for now, there are a lot of hopes riding on the fact that the answer is "Yes!". Read the full article

Vogue Promoting and advertising and marketing Planning

What's in a fashion marketing campaign? This article explores the components of a fashion marketing plan and how fashion brands can enhance their marketing strategy. Fashion marketing is concerned with meeting the needs, wants, and demands of your targeted consumer, and these goals are accomplished using the marketing mix. Fashion marketing is distinct from fashion public relations in that fashion PR is solely concerned with communications and how the brand communicates with and resonates with it's targeted consumers. A fashion marketing plan focuses on four essential concepts: 1) product development, 2) distribution management, 3) communications, and 4) cost. In order to implement an effective marketing campaign, the marketing mix must be consumer centric and focused on niche markets rather than catering to mass markets. This concept simply means that the marketing strategy and implementation should have consumers and their needs, wants, and demands in the forefront and with a very defined market that it intends to target. Niche marketing is more focused and cost-effective and allows the marketer to focus on a particular market segment. Otherwise, a mass marketing campaign is all over the place and lacks a defined consumer to market to. As an example, imagine if the luxury brand Louis Vuitton was a mass retailer and did not cater to a niche market. Essentially, this would mean that Louis Vuitton would market its products to the masses, when in fact this is unrealistic. Louis Vuittton's price point does not allow the brand to cater to the masses, which is why the brand channels all of its marketing communications to the luxury market. However, that does not mean that the brand is off limits to consumers who do not exactly fall into the luxury market; it just means that the communications strategy and the brand identity would resonate more with consumers in the luxury market. This approach allows the business to remain competitive and effective in its strategic approach. Components of a Fashion Marketing Plan 1)  Product Development The most important component of the product development phase is not the product itself. The product is just the byproduct of this phase. The most important component of this phase are the consumers. Consumers dictate all the components of the marketing plan, and consequently, dictates what the product is. Keep in mind that today's highly competitive global marketplace requires that businesses are consumer centric and focus on serving consumer's needs. Consumers dictate what the pricing strategy will be, the points of distribution, the communications strategy, and the final product outcome. In the example given above regarding Louis Vuitton, the targeted consumers dictate what the associated cost and value will be for the brand. There are two orientations of the product development phase. The business can be product-oriented and choose to develop products first then market it to its targeted markets. Alternatively, the business can be more market-oriented and segment its markets first to determine their specific needs, wants, and demands then create the product to meet those wants. Due to the transient nature of the fashion industry, fashion marketers are under short marketing cycles since product needs are seasonal. As the seasons change so do trends and tastes. Consequently, marketers are required to constantly adjust their product offerings with time. 2) Price: Cost vs Value The pricing strategy strictly relies on the market segmentation. With a consumer centric marketing focus, the pricing strategy would take into account the associated costs to the consumer and the value afforded to the consumer. Pricing may vary based on the market segment and their perceived value of the product or brand. A consumer buying a luxury brand perceives the product to be more valuable and in turn is willing to pay more for the product compared to a price-sensitive consumer or a product that is mass produced with minimal differentiation. 3) Distribution Management The distribution strategy determines the convenience and availability of the product. Traditional distribution channels for fashion brands include branded flagship stores, independent retailers, department stores, and online distribution. The more distribution channels used the more intense the brand's exposure and the greater the availability to consumer markets. 4) Promotions & Communications The promotional strategy entails how the brand will attract its buyers and the series of activities used to communicate to the targeted consumers. The activities in this phase include developing the brand and its identity, sales promotions, public relations, product placement, advertising, event marketing, and sponsorships.

Searching for A Car? Proper right here Are Three Causes To Buy Used From a Ford Dealership

From clear financial incentives to increased reliability and better buying tools, there has never been a better time to consider buying a used car or truck. Not sold? Here are three reasons to buy used for your next vehicle. Save Yourself Money It's no secret that buying a vehicle used instead of new will save you money, but just how much money can you save? Statistics from Kelly Blue Book show that in 2015 Americans spent an average of $33,500 on new vehicles versus just over $20,000 on used. That's an approximate $13,500 in savings. With buying new, there is also the depreciation factor. As soon as you drive a new car off the lot, its price drops by several thousand {dollars}. According to statistics from Consumer Reports, a new car purchased in today's market will depreciate to just 54 percent of its original price tag after just three years on the road. With used vehicles, such depreciation is a rarity, making trade-ins and sales back to the dealership more economically viable. Get A Reliable (And Better) Vehicle Going the used route can free up resources and allow you to buy a better and more reliable vehicle. The rationale is simple: when you save by buying your car used, you can put that extra money towards a better make or model. If you do your homework, the cost should be about even - and in the long run, the investment will likely fall in your favor. By choosing a better-made model, your used vehicle will likely outlive the new, less reliable alternative. Plus, with the lifespan of today's cars at an all-time high, even vehicles with several years on the road can be a sound investment. According to a 2015 survey by IHS Automotive, the average age of cars on US roads has reached 11.5 years, with estimates projecting a continued increase in lifespan. For used car buyers, this is good news. The used vehicle is no longer a temporary fix, but a reliable alternative to buying new. Vehicle History Reports and CPO Programs: The Future of Used Car Buying Today's certified pre-owned (CPO) programs further guarantee that when you buy used, you get a reliable car in great condition. Since a growing number of new car drivers today choose to lease their cars rather than buy them, dealerships nationwide have substantial inventories of CPO trade-ins to buy. New car leases typically involve 3-year contracts with restrictions based on condition and mileage, which mean when they trade in their vehicles they are still in excellent condition. Whether you are buying a CPO model or a car from the regular used car dealership, the prevalence of vehicle history reports through online services makes it easier than ever to find a reliable used vehicle. Enter the automobile's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and gather valuable information about its history and registration. A dealership will be happy to assist you with this process. With today's tools, you will be able to find a high-quality used vehicle faster than ever. Read the full article

Youthful People Select Worldwide Car Producers

The youngest new car buyers, aged 19 to 27, are avoiding vehicles from General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, choosing instead to patronage cars made by Asian and European manufacturers. This news comes from a study of 2009 and 2010 Generation Y car shoppers undertaken by TrueCar.com and published in July 2011. Foreign Models At the top of many car shopping lists was the Scion tC, a compact car made by Toyota's sub-brand. That car was followed closely by the Mitsubishi Lancer, a sporty compact model. Notably, not one Ford, Chrysler or General Motors vehicle finished in the top ten as models such as the Kia Forte, Honda Civic and Volkswagen GLI resonated with the youngest car buyers. This news may not come as a shock to some, but it does show that the traditional domestic car manufacturers must work diligently to reach young buyers. Indeed, both Ford and Chevrolet have brought out new models since as early as spring 2010 that should appeal to young buyers and might affect an updated TrueCar.com study. Those cars include subcompacts such as the Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic to compact cars such as the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus. Price Point An important attraction for this group of first time new car shoppers was the price of these models. Most, with the exception of the Volkswagen GLI were priced near or below $20,000 with one model, the Kia Forte, selling for under $15,000. Young car buyers often have limited budgets to work with and the models which interest them the most are reasonably priced and often include popular amenities such as Bluetooth connectivity, air-conditioning and audio systems. When car buyers connect with a brand, it is difficult for them to be persuaded to switch, especially if they are satisfied with their purchases. Some buyers will stay loyal to a brand throughout their lives, buying as many as a dozen or more new vehicles over a 40- or 50-year period. Ford, Chrysler and GM must find a way to win these buyers otherwise by the next generation these automakers may find its vehicles largely ignored by car shoppers. Good News The news for the domestic makers isn't completely grim, based on sales data for its small cars in 2011. With the exception of Chrysler, customers are buying the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus, and in numbers above automaker expectations. How many of those are being snapped up by young buyers remains to be seen, but given Ford's success with social media and its alliance with "American Idol," its Fiesta and Focus are being exposed to young buyers.
