Trying to be HEALTHY
Getting Closer
As we get closer and closer to our November Election, I am becoming increasingly amazed by the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION because the DOJ is wanting to ALLOW NON-CITIZENS to be able to vote because they have a driver's license... where they stated they were NON-CITIZENS.
WHY WOULD ANY GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION WANT TO DO THIS???
It is obvious, at least to me, that they want to PREVENT Trump from becoming President and are willing to BREAK THE LAW to achieve that goal.
THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS...
Personally,
I believe that this action is an attempt to DESTROY DEMOCRACY...
AND...
find it kinda curious that they ACCUSE TRUMP of DESTROYING DEMORACY.
So, the question is: WHY ARE THE DEMOCRATS ACTING LIKE THIS?
In my humble opinion, when you attempt to CHEAT that tells me that you either have something to HIDE or that you are afraid of LOSING.
If a political party is willing to CHEAT in order to win, how will this CHEATING POLITICAL PARTY manage the country?
Will they CHEAT at that as well?
<OR>
Will they just CHEAT to win then act normal in office?

Not That Keen on Sports
.jpg)
During my adolescent and teenage years, I was heavily involved with sports. I played in little league baseball until I aged out. My position was first base.
As a teenager, I played baseball, softball, football, basketball, and field & track where I threw the javelin, discuss, and shot put. First base again in both baseball and softball. For football, I wanted to be a fullback, but I could not hold onto the ball, so I was placed as a defensive linebacker and was on all the special teams.
At home, my parents watched on our television everything that was related to sports but were especially interested in football and tennis. So naturally, I watched them as well until I got old enough to date and then I was gone most of the time.
After high school, there were a few years of college, then the military where involvement in watching sports was damn near mandatory if you wanted to fit in with the crowd.
Once, I got married, I watched very little sports except during the holidays when the parents came over to our house, our we went over to their house. Both sets of parents were heavily focused on football. Politely, I watched.
Divorced and married a second time five years later, my second wife liked football and tennis but especially tennis. I very seldom watched tennis with her, but we did watch football together and basketball when Michael Jordan was playing with the Chicago Bulls.
When Michael Jordan retired, she went back to concentrating on tennis, but we would always watch the super bowl, even though we did not care which team won. Usually, the super bowls were the best games to watch.
I have no idea why, after being a very athletic person, and winning lots of awards and metals, that I lost interest in sports. It could be that too much was pushed on me when I was young, but that does not explain my choice to watch later.
I used to go the baseball games of the Washington Senators before they moved to Baltimore and remember how excited I was to be there. I always got a program and was taught how to keep track of how each team performed each inning. But later in life, baseball just moved too slowly for me.
I never really understood the rules of soccer, but it was a fast-moving pace as was rugby but never got interested in either of them.
- Nowadays, it is just too damn expensive to get a ticket to any sporting event, and yet when seeing them on television, the arenas and stadiums always look full.
Fusion Plant Design
A fusion energy firm has revealed the first details of its pilot plant design. Tokamak Energy claims that its pilot plant will be capable of generating 800 megawatts (MW) of fusion power and 85MW of net electricity.
This will reportedly be enough to power and heat more than 70,000 American homes.
Initial designs specify an aspect ratio of 2.0, a plasma major radius of 4.25 meters, and a magnetic field of 4.25 Tesla, as well as a liquid lithium tritium breeding blanket, according to Tokamak Energy. READ MORE...

Deranged Trump Syndrome
Sick of the ELECTION
.jpg)
For the last several months, we have been forced to watch and listen, if we daily watch the NEWS, one side make negative comments about the other side... and then have the counter argument from the other side.
Then in the month of October, there is an escalation of those comments and both sides have become even more hateful towards their opponents.
Are we listening to the truth or are we listening to LIES... my guess is the latter.
At this point in time, I don't give a damn who wins because I think our country is heading in the wrong direction and even if another direction was taken for four years, it will swing back to the wrong approach.
This is what Americans typically do, they elect Democrats for 4-8 years, then elect Republicans for 4-8 years. Each time that happens, the USA moves in one direction then moves in another direction and NOTHING GETS ACCOMPLISHED.
I have NO FAITH IN POLITICIANS.
I have NO FAITH IN THE CHOICES AMERICANS MAKE.
This leaves me with making sure, I just always do what is BEST FOR MY WIFE AND ME.
I am sick of elections...
EVs and the US Power Grid
Over half of all new cars sold in the U.S. by 2030 are expected to be electric vehicles. That could put a major strain on our nation’s electric grid, an aging system built for a world that runs on fossil fuels.
Domestic electricity demand in 2022 is expected to increase up to 18% by 2030 and 38% by 2035, according to an analysis by the Rapid Energy Policy Evaluation and Analysis Toolkit, or REPEAT, an energy policy project out of Princeton University. That’s a big change over the roughly 5% increase we saw in the past decade.
“So we’ve got a lot of power demand coming to this country when we really didn’t have any for the last, like, 25 years,” said Rob Gramlich, founder and president of Grid Strategies, a transmission policy group.
While many parts of the economy are moving away from fossil fuels toward electrification — think household appliances such as stoves, and space heating for homes and offices — the transportation sector is driving the increase. Light-duty vehicles, a segment that excludes large trucks and aviation, are projected to use up to 3,360% more electricity by 2035 than they do today, according to Princeton’s data. READ MORE...

2024 Election
Several months ago, when I was talking to my wife about the 2024 Presidential Campaign, sharing how dirty the Democrats had been towards Donald Trump since he began President in 2016, she said the following:
ONE DAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL REALIZE HOW FAR THE LIBERALS HAVE GONE AND TURN ON THEM...
I remember looking over at her, not really sure or confident about what she had said, thinking her ideas were PIE IN THE SKY and that none of that would happen because the Democrats had the mainstream media, woke companies, tech companies, Hollywood celebrities, the DOJ, and the FBI supporting them.
NOW...
with only a few days left until the election, it is becoming amazingly clear that my wife MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT and that the climate in this country is finally changing.
Instead of promoting her record while in office for over three and a half years, Kamala Harris and her proxies are doing nothing but saying HOW HORRIBLE TRUMP IS... along with the people that are supporting him.
- Joe Biden says he is a loser
- Michele Obama says he is in mental decline
- Kamala Harris says he is Hitler like
- Hillary Clinton says he will destroy democracy
