The Garbage Collector

Election Aftermath

 

Numerous liberal media news outlets are simply baffled by the fact that the American public voted for Donald Trump like they did.  Consequently, they cannot believe so many Americans were fooled by Donald Trump's lies and promises...  and that they simply have no idea that Donald Trump is going to destroy DEMOCRACY in the USA.

In addition to these people being baffled, they are blaming Biden for not dropping out sooner, claiming that if he had, the Kamala would have had a better chance.  They also blame Kamala for choosing the WRONG RUNNING MATE.   Finally, they blame Americans for being influenced by WHITE RACISM and not wanting to have another President who was a person of color.

What they fail to ACKNOWLEDGE is the fact that not only were they WRONG about the American People, but the results of the election PROVE beyond a shadow of doubt that the DEMOCRATS DO NOT KNOW the American people at all.

The American people did not like:

• Trying to impeach Trump twice
• The Russian Collusion Hoax
• The loss of employment opportunities
• The increase in crime and violence
• Males playing in female sports
• The Russian fake dossier
• The crimes with which Trump was charged
• The bogus felony charges
• The raid on his home
• The attacks on his family
• All the illegal immigrants coming into the USA
• All the price increases
• Being forced to buy electric cars

The Democrats and the DOJ, the FBI, the Woke companies, and the liberal media MISJUDGED the American people...  and paid the price in the November 2024 election.

BTW, the stock market increased by 1,000 points because they believe that Trump is going to remove government regulations.

On January 20, 2025, Trump will do the following with Executive Orders:

1. Open up the XL Pipeline
2. Begin mass deportation of illegal immigrants
3. Begin construction on the wall
4. Reduce the corporate tax rate
5. Start reducing the size of the government

HOWEVER...

It is not just what President Trump is going to do that is important here...  it is also what the House and Senate are going to do with their investigation and oversight powers.

My guess is that they will look into the following people:

• Barrack Obama
• Bill & Hillary Clinton
• Joe Biden
• The January 6 Commission
• Liz Cheney 
• Influence peddling with China
• the Chinese balloon over the USA
• The 51 Intelligence Officers lying
• Chuck Schumer
• Nancy Pelosi
• Adam Schiff
• James Comey
• Merrick Garland

My guess is that the REPUBLICANS will begin using the same TACTICS of the Democrats just like they did in the 2024 election.

TRUMP MADE HISTORY and his claim to fame is because of what the Democrats tried to do to him...

BRICS is an organization comprised of BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA, SOUTH AFRICA, EGYPT. UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, ETHIOPIA, and IRAN.

The purpose of BRICS is to perform whatever economic activities they need to perform in order to replace the US dollar with the Chinese YUAN as the international currency of trade.

These countries are REFUSING to use the US dollar when engaging in any commerce deal with themselves or other countries.

It is highly doubtful that their initiative will change anything, but it is still causing concerns for the USA on the global marketplace, especially when the USA experiences unusually slow economic growth.

There are also huge concerns should the USA default on paying the interest accrued on their national debt...

Coupled with the fact that should the USA need to borrow more money and cannot find any lenders, then should they print and put more money into circulation that it will devalue to dollar even more.

A devalued US dollar not only hurts trade but causes US goods and services to be more expensive.

China's Mach 4 Passenger Jet

Two decades after the iconic Concorde was retired, a Chinese aircraft designed to travel twice as fast as the Anglo-French plane has successfully completed its test flight.

The Beijing-based company Space Transportation announced on October 27 that its Yunxing prototype, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 4—twice the speed of the Anglo-French Concorde—completed a successful test flight on October 26, according to Chinese media.

The company said that Yunxing’s advanced aerospace design is tailored for high-speed, efficient travel. Designed for vertical take-off and landing, the jet aims to reach altitudes exceeding 20,000 meters (65,600 feet).         READ MORE...

Election Day

 
If you are anything like me, I am frigging sick and tired of all the election commercials with which we have been inundated.

I am not a Democrat.

I am not a Republican.

I vote for whomever I think will be best for the country.

My vote is PRIVATE.

Personally,

I am not happy with the way this current administration has managed the country for the last four years.

I ask myself, could I have done any better.

I doubt it, but I am not a politician.

I DETEST/DISLIKE THE FOLLOWING:

1. High taxes
2. Inflation
3. Illegal Immigration
4. WOKE Policies and tactics
5. Liberal news outlets
6. A weak military

Since I am retired, I am living on a fixed income and my Social Security is TAXED and it hurts when prices are high and I have to pay more taxes.

• My property tax has doubled
• My city tax has doubled
• My income tax has doubled
• Gasoline is higher
• Food prices are higher

This is what I know:

• Democrats like social programs
• Democrats like spending money
• Democrats like higher taxes
• Democrats want green energy
• Democrats want to do away with gasoline

I AM GOING TO VOTE ON WHAT IS BEST FOR ME!!!
