WHEN MEGA IS MICRO: Dallas’ anti-Trump “Mega March” An Enthusiastic Bust.

No matter who counted, Sunday’s “Mega March 2017” wasn’t anywhere close to as well-attended as organizers anticipated.

The last time Dallas’ Latino leadership organized a march of this intended scale, in 2006, attendance was estimated at somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000. This time, even before the march, organizers guessed attendance might be 100,000.

On Sunday, they claimed after the event that 20,000 people showed up to march through downtown Dallas to Dallas City Hall for rights and respect for Dallas’ immigrant and refugee population. After the march, Dallas police estimated 3,200 people marched and attended the subsequent rally.

Weird. I thought the Trump presidency was supposed to energize Latinos in opposition.

However, shockwave therapy may help increase the flow of blood to the penis, possibly by promoting the growth of stem cells, which can proliferate into different types of cells such as blood vessels, Campbell said.”

RESET: Rex Tillerson issues stern warning to nations that ‘commit crimes against the innocents’ during G7 summit.

Tillerson, meanwhile, used meetings Monday with foreign ministers from the Group of 7 industrialized economies, known as the G7, to try to persuade them to forge a unified response to the situation in Syria. Russia was kicked out of G7, formerly known as the G8, in 2014, following its controversial annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and assistance for pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

After meeting with Tillerson, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said the group was discussing possible sanctions against Russian backers of President Bashar Assad — as part of an effort to push the Kremlin to abandon its support of the Syrian strongman — as well as against Syrian officials.

On Tuesday morning, Tillerson will meet again with various foreign government officials about Syria, including many from Arab nations, before traveling to Moscow to sit down with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

They have a lot to talk about.

ROGER L. SIMON: “Just got off NewsmaxTV with Kurt Schlichter and Kurt and I agreed on one thing: if Trump has a strategy going forward on Syria, he shouldn’t tell anyone, even though the media is constantly demanding it. Trump’s policy of not revealing his plans is a good thing. Surprise wins.”

A BILLION HERE AND A BILLION THERE, AND PRETTY SOON YOU’RE TALKING REAL MONEY: Pentagon seeks at least 5 pct savings on Lockheed F-35 jet.

The Pentagon, under the direction of Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, has been exploring how to cut the costs of its most expensive weapons program.

The deal for last year’s annual purchase contract, struck this February, put the standard takeoff and landing version of the jet at the lowest price ever, $94.6 million, a 7.3 percent reduction from the previous annual purchase price of $102 million.

The current negotiations are for a batch of about 130 planes. The talks could shave 5-7 percent, or $660 million, from the approximately 100 standard takeoff and landing “A-model” jets for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. allies, the people said.

The F-35 comes in three configurations: the A-model; the B-model, which can handle short take-offs and vertical landings for the Marine Corps and the British navy; and the carrier-variant F-35C jets.

The number and type of jets in the deal as well as the timing for an agreement have not been finalized, the people said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks are private.

The talks may be private, but the “people familiar with the talks” who spoke to Reuters went just public enough to put more pressure on Lockheed-Martin.
