Pray with me for Trump's Presidential Loss in 2024
With that said, let me share with you my feelings about who should win the 2024 election and who should not.
TRUMP SHOULD NOT WIN
My first inclination was hoping Trump would win because of all the shit that has been thrown at him in order to keep him from winning. I find this totally irresponsible and believe it would be something I might read about happening in China or Russia,
However, after careful consideration of all the facts and analyzing the unintended consequences of this 2024 Presidential election, I am a firm believer that TRUMP SHOULD LOSE.
WHY?
Not getting what you want is a tragedy.
Getting what you want oftentimes is a worse tragedy.
SPOCK once said: "Wanting is not as pleasing as having."
I am 76 years old and while there is not much I have not seen; I believe it is time to turn this country over to the younger generation that DOES NOT WANT TRUMP.
The younger generation as I understand them want:
- Socialism as a form of government
- Censorship of information
- Open Borders
- Slavery Reparations
- A WOKE culture
- Defund the police
- To eliminate white supremacists
- A weak military
- To be controlled by China and Russia
- To continue to increase the national debt
- Free Education with no exams or grades
- To work when they damn well please
- To exterminate all JEWS and Christians
- To abort their pregnancies at will
- Green energy regardless of the cost
It is my belief therefore that Trump should lose and Biden/Harris should win in 2024. In fact, I don't expect Biden to finish another four years, so I am perfectly willing to let Kamala Harris become president without a general election.
Our country needs to see how well this country will be managed once it is totally in the hands of the younger generation... and the SOONER THE BETTER...
Improving Decontamination of Water
Plasma is an ionized gas—that is, a gas containing electrons, ions, atoms, molecules, radicals, and photons. It is often called the fourth state of matter, and surprisingly, it permeates everything. Plasmas, which are artificially generated by transmitting energy to a gas, are found in the fluorescent tubes that light kitchens, but they have also allowed mobile phones to become smaller and smaller.

Chinese Alibaba Gains Wealth
Jan 2 (Reuters) - China's Alibaba Group (9988.HK) said on Tuesday it had repurchased a total of 897.9 million of its shares for $9.5 billion during 2023.
The shares were bought in both the U.S. and Hong Kong stock markets, the company said in a filing. The e-commerce giant said the remaining amount the company's Board had authorized for its share repurchase program, which is effective through March 2025, was $11.7 billion.
"Our share repurchase program resulted in a net reduction of 3.3% in our outstanding shares in the last 12 months after accounting for shares issued under our ESOP (employee stock ownership plan)," the company said.
Alibaba had 20 billon outstanding shares as of Dec. 31, compared with 29.7 billion at the end of 2022.
TRUMP off Ballot
While these judges and historians are well educated and experienced, they are forgetting one important facet of AMERICAN JUSTICE...
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN QUILTY BY A JURY OF YOUR PEERS
Without that stipulation, we would be like other communist countries and dictatorships where if the ruling party's enemies are causing problems, they are simply prevented from entering the competition, imprisoned, and or some cases KILLED.
50% of the people believe Trump is guilty
50% of the people believe Trump is innocent
Now, based upon what these retired judges and historians have to say, should we:
- Remove Joe Biden from the Presidency because it is perceived he is corrupt and a Chinese puppet by 50% of the people?
- Kick Nancy Pelosi out of congress because 50% of the people believe she got wealthy from insider trading of stocks?
- Stop MSNBC from operating as a news agency as a result of not airing Trump's acceptance speech and 50% of the people believe they are censoring news from the general public?
I applaud these judge and historians coming forward and sharing their feelings, but because they want to violate a basic judicial principle, leads me to wonder if they are someone we can believe.
Find Trump guilty in a court of law by a jury of his peers (not a biased court or a biased jury) and I would be the first to say throw the SOB in jail...
Creating Tee Tiny Objects Using Light
Engineers from the Georgia Institute of Technology say they have developed a breakthrough method for printing incredibly small metallic nanostructures using the power of light. While some methods to accomplish this same task currently exist, they are slow and cumbersome, preventing their use at any viable commercial scale.
The engineers believe that their method, referred to as superluminescent light projection, represents a breakthrough that could enable revolutionary technological advancements in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and scientific applications, including advances in nanotechnology. READ MORE...

Not Enough Military Power for China to Invade Taiwan
A new survey of leading experts from the US and Taiwan casts doubt on China's ability to invade Taiwan with its current military strength.
The survey, released on Monday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, gathered opinions from 52 US experts in November and December last year.
These included people with extensive experience in the US government, academics, and think-tank experts who had testified in Congress before, the center said.
And only 27% of them said they strongly or somewhat agreed the People's Liberation Army had the might to pull off an amphibious invasion, per the report. READ MORE...

Well, it's not really good news except for the price of gasoline is down and that is because we are producing enough at home instead of buying from OPEC.
Other than gasoline prices, we have:
- a slow growing economy
- higher grocery prices
- higher prices for other items
- illegal immigration issues
- illegal drug issues
- increasing crime in cities
- uncertainty about WWIII happening
- Iran and North Korea gaining nuclear capabilities
- growing anti-Jewish sentiments
- a divided country
- a weaponized DOJ
- two tier justice system
- a growing global anti-American behavior
What bothers me more than anything is that we have EXTREMELY OLD elected officials in Congress in both the House and the Senate and in both parties: Democrat and Republican.
These older politicians see the world through old eyes and with preconceived ideas that are no longer that valid. The demographic of the USA is changing, and our elected officials need to change as well. These new politicians need to create a NEW AMERICA...
This NEW AMERICA may not be the America that I want, but what us old folks wants is rather irrelevant wouldn't you say? The younger generation want:
- Socialism
- Government Handouts
- Open borders
- Free education
- A 20-hour work week
- To be high on illegal drugs
- A one-party LIBERAL government
- China and Russia to control the world
- A weak military, no police, or national defense
- No protection against terrorism
- The wealthy to pay for everything
- A green society regardless of the cost
Ripples in Spacetime
Today, ESA’s Science Program Committee approved the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, the first scientific endeavor to detect and study gravitational waves from space.
This important step, formally called ‘adoption’, recognizes that the mission concept and technology are sufficiently advanced, and gives the go-ahead to build the instruments and spacecraft. This work will start in January 2025 once a European industrial contractor has been chosen.
LISA is not just one spacecraft but a constellation of three. They will trail Earth in its orbit around the Sun, forming an exquisitely accurate equilateral triangle in space. Each side of the triangle will be 2.5 million km long (more than six times the Earth-Moon distance), and the spacecraft will exchange laser beams over this distance. The launch of the three spacecraft is planned for 2035, on an Ariane 6 rocket. READ MORE...,
