The Perseid meteor shower — which NASA says is the best of the year — happens each year in late summer.

The Perseids are known for epic "fireball" meteors and long, streaking tails.

American Meteor Society predicted the Perseids would peak on Aug. 12.

But, according to NASA, the August meteors are more likely to hit earth out over the Oort Cloud, a hypothetical region of space where regular solar, weather and cosmic events can loosely orbit.

"Rain is not associated with these showers, but they produce interesting partial phases for scattered light meteors, which are associated with a small fraction of the stream of debris," NASA communications says.

Trump's picked two Asian experts to lead his Treasury Department. He's got the strongest anti-trade voting record of any major party nominee in 40 years. He's invested billions in housing development. All of that will be trashed if he loses.

If the "China question" weighs on the TPP vote in Congress, does that mean Trump shouldn't be the nominee?

If he comes across as "weak on China," does that affect our system of trade? We can hardly build a trade system in light of Trump's big plans for renegotiation of NAFTA, though trade books aren't directly relevant to the big problems facing many of our countries this moment. But we shouldn't rule out a GOP loss based on infighting over two issues.

He has the Republican Party unified behind him on these issues. It's time for Trump to show he's a Democratic hawk — a full-throated training in sustaining our GDP and maintaining jobs by adjusting our trade policy to better fit global demands.

Trump is crucial to reversing what he calls urban legend that trade policies like free trade are evil. If he can win fear and job-loss conservatism into the Republican fold, national Republican fortunes fundamentally will improve.

We now know in broad outline how the Trump, Cirigliano and Lancekeep platform is a other-Trump one.

Every improvement in factory production, sales and productivity that has taken place under Romneyism happened under Obama's macro policies. Yes, manufacturing jobs have mostly vanished, and stagnation in production and sales of manufactured goods has locked Americans into the lowest-wage services sector since the 1970s. But these were not the main cause of the growing discrepancy between employment and average wages. But Trump believes national economic policy should be designed to lift American productivity through the mastery of production methods. Trump's cut-throat"Trade Deals Now Make Us Less Safe & Wages Still Low" stance reflects the giving other businessmen in uniform (like Robert Cirigliano) that he believes is the best way to restore manufacturing at plants
