It is being inferred that Bush did not have a smooth transition due to the troubled election. And that this contributed to 911. Now we have Trump making this scenario happen again except it will be much worse. I dearly wanted to stop writing about politics and return to space exploration and life extension. NotContinue reading “Bush and 911”

Trump is out…Thank God, Now the Rest
It was shocking to me and many others how many voted for Trump. This means 4 years from now will be the most dangerous election in U.S. history. Trump was incompetent and incapable of really converting the government into a dictatorship. The next time we will not be so lucky. Interesting how this is beingContinue reading “Trump is out…Thank God, Now the Rest”
This is it…The Day Has Come
https://theweek.com/articles/947244/final-election-prediction-reality-wins I want the last four years of crazy to end so I can go back to writing about space and life extension. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/?cid=rrpromo As of 1634 hours Arizona time it is looking good. We may win it all…the house, senate, and presidency.
Plausible Deniability
Almost there and hopefully no storm is coming.
Magical Thinking
I am hoping and praying Trump loses and we can start repairing the damage done by a half a century of Neoliberalism next year. My experience over the last four years with my coworkers, who are with only one or two exceptions, all conservative, has not been encouraging. I have tried to explain the historyContinue reading “Magical Thinking”
The Elephant in the Room
“More than 700 esteemed economists, including more than a half dozen Nobel Prize winners, have signed an open letter urging voters to reject Donald Trump at the ballot box in this election. ‘In just one term in office, Donald Trump has rendered the United States unrecognizable, and has faced no consequences for doing so,’ theContinue reading “The Elephant in the Room”
Manipulating the F-Scale
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-scale_(personality_test) It seems there is a personality type the fascists seek to radicalize because they are fairly sure to succeed. Trump, perhaps because he is somewhere on the sociopath scale, knows how to manipulate this percentage of the population who are vulnerable. With about 30 percent said to be supporting Trumpism, Plato’s assertion that democracyContinue reading “Manipulating the F-Scale”
Explaining Trump and Evangelicals
I had to explain why conservative Christians are voting for Trump to my wife after we came back from voting. This article helped. https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/jerusalem-trumps-gift-to-evangelicals/
Praying for a Green New Deal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_wolf_(terrorism)#Stochastic_terrorism Two weeks left and this nightmare will be over- hopefully. And I can go back to writing about life extension and space colonization.
The Lesson
Trumpism is a lesson to the human race, not just America. It may be our last chance to change course away from the looming disaster Neoliberalism is steering us toward. Those of us who have some ability to think critically have witnessed the Trump cult firsthand and now see clearly the sickness that caused soContinue reading “The Lesson”
