If the late great Gladston Holder were alive he would take the opportunity to remind us that it does not matter who is elected to the White House, it the wealthiest families in the USA where the power is located- the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers et al. That said many will agree party colours aside, Trump’s legacy will be remembered as being one of the most bigoted and divisive.
Let it be no secret this blogmaster cannot wait to see the back of the man. He has disgraced the office of president of the USA and by extension the human race.

Conspiracy theories can’t done, will QANON become the official voice of the republicans? All these stories that can’t stand up to scrutiny will fade away like snowballs in the noon day sun. However, some less discerning folks will take them as gospel and try to exact some sort of revenge on people that support Democrats. Anyone remember Alex Jones posting some fiction about Hillary Clinton running a pedo ring in the basement of a pizzeria and some deluded clown driving from North Carolina to rescue the children?
That is the level of intelligence that is on display on the blog, but it seems common sense is not all that common.

Why not give a comment on the history of one term Presidents of which Trump is the most recent anointed. Curious to know how many are/were Quakers.

“Most research doctors are only about research grants, kickbacks from new drugs or drugs still on patent and prestige because prestige will lead to more of the first two.”
I was in the States in ’88 doing post doctoral research in genetic engineering when I was made of Dr. Anthony Fauci. At that time he was the head of the National Institute of Health(NIH). The craze in those days was AIDS. He was on TV a lot. I was surprised that he was still leading the NIH Normally people don’t in research stay in one post that long. Thought he had retired. Most of the research labs have specialists, whose only job is the writing of proposals for attaining research grants. Getting those grants are a cut-throat business. My post doctoral supervisor told me that one had to know how to write a proposal, other wise even with great ideas one was left in the lurch. That part about kick backs is especially true of the bio=medical profession.
As for Cuhdear Bajan, she has to learn that people die every day. Human life is not special as far as the universe is concerned.
The blogmaster was under the impression Fauci’s tenure was served for the most part in government owned agencies funded by public dollars.

That is correct
Do people realized that Biden got more votes than Obama? I came across this article which indicates that the person is a critical thinker. The fellow is no fan of Trump and does not allow his animus to cloud his thinking.
EVEN LEFTISTS ARE SPEAKING OUT: Everybody Knows Far-Left Democrats and Corrupt Joe Biden Are Trying to Steal This Election
By Joe Hoft
Published November 7, 2020 at 11:52am Gateway pundit.
Rapper and producer Tariq Nasheed can see the steal. He tweeted – C’mon Son – in regards to the obvious lie the Democrats are attempting to claim – that Biden had more votes than Obama in 2008 and beat President Trump in the election:
Nasheed tweets:
I aint no Trump supporter by any stretch of the imagination…….. but all these millions of magic mail in votes popping up for Biden………

In battleground states, Biden’s base is not suburban voters. Reports are saying these magical mail in votes are coming from these Black populated urban centers.
Here is the thing: Black Americans don’t rock with Biden like that.
So what base group are these votes coming from? pic.twitter.com/qbvzaB9hUa

We gotta keep it a buck…
How is Biden winning all these states with record numbers of votes…..
Yet the GOP kept all the Senate House seats?

That is why I keep saying our governments that constantly putting money in UWI have to ensure research studies are being done in things that benefit us Caribbean people.
UWI should be tops in herbal medicine and agricultural research publishing top class studies, manuals and patenting things left right and center instead of wasting tons of money to import drugs less effective than what is growing in our backyard but just needs a proper study to understand the potency and serving sides.
I find it strange too that the Democrats lost seats in the House, Republicans likely to hold the senate but Biden got so many more votes.
Does anyone know the differences in how voting is done for President, Senate and House?
Is it all on one ballot or are they separate ballot submissions?
What fun it is to watch big men clutch at non-existent straws, trying to keep their heads above water!

“Why should Americans not repudiate a man who is complicit in the deaths of 242,230 Americans?”
Are you serious?…What kind of idiot are you?..you idiot. You idiot; . You are a disgrace. As William Shockley said the majority of black people have a problem with abstract thought.
Wuhloss! Looka robert’s “well reasoned scientific” response to my truthful statement that Trump is complicit in the deaths of 242,230 Americans.
And then quoting the well noted racist William Shockley too. Shockley was a physicist, not a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, not a historian, not an anthropologist. Likely never met a black person in his life. Yet the sad and lonely black robert provides the dead, dead, dead Shockley with free lodging in his head.
Stupssseee!!!
P.S. And for Hal, please know that even though robert called me 3 kinds of idiot and a disgrace I have refrained from cursing him.
Trump is complicit in the deaths of 242,957 Americans.
Biden must immediately find the mothers of the 500 kids kidnapped by Trump at the borders. He must knockdown the part of the wall that has been built and put the police back in their boxes.
Good riddance to Pompeo, to Barr, to Wray and the other toadies.
Religious affiliations of previous US president’s … again, just google
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_affiliations_of_presidents_of_the_United_States
Deism and the Founding Fathers
Deism was a religious philosophy in common currency in colonial times, and some Founding Fathers (most notably Thomas Paine, who was an explicit proponent of it, and Benjamin Franklin, who spoke of it in his Autobiography) are identified more or less with this system. Thomas Jefferson became a deist in later life, and Washington, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Tyler are often identified as having some degree of deistic beliefs.[10]
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A question for you Hal!!
If Thomas Paine was a Quaker and a Deist does that mean that Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison James Monroe and John Tyler were also possible Quakers?
Was America perhaps founded by Quakers?
Fox up to their usual shenanigans.
“Fox News told talent not to call Biden the president-elect if he wins: report – Business Insider.”
@Quaker John
We have had this discussion before. No. It does not. What it means is that Deism was at the heart of the Founding principles of the Constitution.
Further, as a secular nation, the US constitution has become the sacred text, the Founding Fathers are the prophets, citizenship is the baptism and the American Dream is Heaven. The vote has an element of sacrifice, with each vote being equal to the other.
This is the great myth of America, a people disunited on almost everything except the narrative of being American. Trump threatened this by attempting to create a nation of ethnic and religious similarities.
Government of the people, by the people and for the people must be seen in this semi-religious context. It is a poor attempt at re-creating Athenian democracy.

Relax
We have a short time to wait to find out who is the next president.
By 20th January it will be all over … or should be!!
@John
Can you find room in your brain to appreciate that Trump does not have to concede? When the time comes for him to go an Uber truck will drive up to the White House and cart his sorry ass from the compound.
@Quaker John
My understanding is that Biden does not become president until he takes the oath of office. Until then he is president elect. The formal ceremony is on January 20.
“As William Shockley said the majority of black people have a problem with abstract thought.”
and then some, you have big hard black men who know that THEY are being hunted down, executed in public and assassinated at will, but there they went voting for the trigger to their own extermination…..some fcuk definitely gotta be very very wrong with them, they are just like those who crave to remain mentally enslaved….same brain dead patterns..

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Biden becomes President Elect when he has the requisite votes from the electoral college, sometime before January 20.
At the moment, like Trump he has ZERO!!
The State Legislatures need to meet first!!
The news networks are irrelevant to the process.
Forget them.
Trump needs to concede and or fail in his contest for Biden to become the president elect.
If is as simple as that.
If Trump succeeds in his contest of the elections then he becomes President elect.
In which case he won’t concede and will almost certainly become the 46th president.
On the 20th January, the president elect, one of them, is sworn in as president
If Trump succeeds in his contest he will become #46.
If not, then Biden will.
Trump needs to contest the states which will reduce Biden’s possible vote tally to less than 270.
His will also be less than 270.
Thereafter, the final solution plays out.
Congress elects #46.
If it comes to that, Trump will almost certainly be #46.
2008:
Obama’s electoral college 365 69.4 million votes
2020
BIDEN 290 electoral college votes 74,939,396 votes
DONALD TRUMP 214 electoral college votes 70,636,322 votes
Somewhat amused at the false reasoning often provided here. The fact that Biden got more votes than Obama in 2008 is a sign that the Democrats cheated. The fact that Trump also got more votes than Obama is not considered as important.
Now, you know as well as I do, if a rapper told this fellow his laces need tying, he would ignore the rapper.
@Donna November 7, 2020 2:03 PM “Cuhdear Bajan is as unemotional as they come, FRAUD!”
I had a boss once who told me that “I was the coldest human being that she had ever met”
It was a lie. But she liked people coming into her office, carrying news and crying. i have never been about that. NEVER. On the job I was all about doing a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay. It was a job. Not my family. Not my life.
50-0
26-24
now congress to elect #46
Greasy pole debating style.
The first question that needs to be answered is “does Trump have enough evidence to controvert Pennsylvania?
If that is possible, the next question becomes in which other state(s) can he cause the election(s) to be controverted?
He does not get the 20 electoral votes from Pennsylvania and the electoral votes from any other state(s) whose election(s) he is able to controvert.
To become #46 he needs to make it so Biden can’t get 270 regardless of what he has.
After that Congress decides on the basis of one state = one vote.
If he gets there he should be #46 … but the fat lady still hasn’t sung.
There are however some serious “Never Trumpers” in the Republican Party that will try to sabotage him.
Looks like December 14 we will find out who is president elect.

It’s a Black Thing
@robert lucas November 7, 2020 1:46 PM “A mountain out of a mold hill.”
Correction: Mole hill
Mole=are small mammals adapted to a subterranean lifestyle (i.e., fossorial). They have cylindrical bodies, velvety fur, very small, inconspicuous ears and eyes,[1] reduced hindlimbs, and short, powerful forelimbs with large paws adapted for digging.
By their digging moles create little hillocks/molehills, which are not mountains, not Mount Everest.
So molehill is a little thing.
… and who isn’t.
So, relax and enjoy it as it unfolds.
Wanted a new he-goat.
I guess the second coming is delayed.
Would never provide a link for this trash.
“The world is uneasy with the United States’ election of Donald Trump as its forty-fifth president. One could not help but marvel at his ascendency to the presidency after publicly breaking every norm and social mores that polite society holds dear. The name “Donald” means world ruler, and no he is not the antichrist, but he is a man of destiny. Open a King James Bible and read Daniel chapter 8 with a dictionary and you cannot help but see that he is the prophesied king of the west who “at the time of the end” will fulfill the prophecy in making his nation “very great.” (Daniel 8:9).”
“The prophecy states of itself that it will again serve “at the time of the end” to identify a king of the west with the disposition of a “he goat” that no nation will be able to withstand as he makes his nation “very great” prior to and unthinkable event that will occur that cause four nations to vie as superpowers in the “in the latter times of their kingdom” of whom one will arise that Daniel indentifies as “the little horn” known to Christians as antichrist (Daniel 8:9). The prophet Daniel famous for interpreting “the handwriting on the wall” in Babylon called Iraq today”

So why is the Trump campaign going to court to secure the votes of phantoms, duppies and dead people?
The expression is “too many cooks spoil the broth”. It appears that one man with his corrupt hand in too many pots also spoils the broth.

He isn’t trying to secure those votes.
He is trying to knock them out!!

All he needs to do is to make it so Joe Biden can’t get to 270!!

Remember, Trumps supporter’s are the dummies but they are who make America work!!
A whistleblower in the USPS exposes the level above him, the level above him gets grilled and exposes the levels above and so it goes.
Remember, all those dummies at the bottom support Trump.
The intelligensia above them can’t get anything done without them!!
So they may be dummies and they may have avoided exposing their support for Trump in their jobs but they are dummies who have all the knowledge of what has gone on.
