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.

Long past their sell-by date.

Let us strike up the band folks.
Next!

Biden’s transition team will get an intelligence briefing.
All of the evidence Sydney Powell claims exists on election fraud will be shown to them.
POTUS can declassify if he so chooses.
Biden’s team then has to make a choice because Biden sure can’t.
They will get an offer they can’t refuse.
May go something like this.
Accept the evidence.
Publicly say you never imagined it could have been so bad.
Say you are appalled.
Say you will join any bipartisan investigation into any fraud against the American people..
Agree to the setting aside of the election.
Say you will accept the outcome of the constitutional process.
…. or go to jail.
No court, everybody walks away free.
Once the evidence exists they accept an offer they can’t refuse.
I think Trump will be tempted go for blood but will resolve it in such a way that life can go on and the fraud can be addressed.
Could already be a done deal.
You mean the “evidence” that the duppy dust Chavez interfered in the 2020 American Presidential election?
Why or for what would Biden have to go to jail?
Team Conspiracies.
The only person who would cheat would be the racist populist aryan trash in office right now.
Liberals have something called moral conscience.
Are you saying Trump planted undercover cheats as ringers in dems, antifa and electoral professionals.
It would explain Trump’s inside knowledge of the alleged cheating or are you just tripping on acid.
The mouthings of a Barbados scholar. This blogmaster is disappointed.

Biden’s transition team will get a security briefing.
They will get to see the evidence in all its glory if it exists as is said to be the case.
I have no reason to doubt Sydney Powell.
@David
Rush bailed after he saw the clusterf..k that was the news conference leaving his local acolyte scrambling to find something of substance to post. However, there are still many areas where one can find conspiracy theories and they may surface on this site in the near future.
Romney and six other senators who agitated for the transition to start have identified themselves.
Trump knows the position with his own party.
Trump is still fighting in court so he must have evidence.
Once the evidence exists and is strong enough, the Biden transition team may find itself in a position with knowledge which makes it impossible not to make a deal.
Are enough hogs in the trap to make it worth springing it?

David, stop it! Why are u laughing at Mr John Fellow and jeering the man like that with these repeated references to his academics of 40 years ago … you are being overly unkind now with your quite obvious references to his demented mental state. Ease up, nah!
Many months ago one of his erstwhile school mates gave a most moving tribute to his active and nimble intellect of those many years ago and then lamented how badly his mental agility had atrophied since some major undisclosed incident … must we continue to pile on !🙈
Oh @Artax I suspect that you learned about soliloquies in lit class at Waterford… well consider this bro Knox to be offering a modern day blogger’s version of talking to oneself in the presence of other bloggers but seemingky being oblivious to our presence!
In short, don’t try to understand his rambling posts here… there are merely his musings to satisfy himself…. remember this is the SAME guy who surmised (quietly to us all) that all 50 states could go to POTUS … so really what if he now asserts that POTUS has info that the man citizen Trump cant disclose… should we really try to understand such folly! SMH…
The Trump man himself constantly remind us of course that he can declassify ANY bit or byte of data he chooses to ANY citizen … including obviously to himself…. but think about it… the two of them – POTUS and citizen Trump – would talk to each other back n forth as this smart lunatic is doing with us… wid bare, bare foolishness! 😂
Sleep well all… I gone.

Be calm and wait for things to play out. Making a cake is messy and you are getting to see the entire process in all its glory.
The entire process has to play out and whichever side you think is right and wrong, you must identify the facts behind the statements being made.
Trump’s case was always going to end up before the Supreme Court so the faster he loses these cases in the lower courts, the faster it will get there.
The lower court judges know this so they will get these hot potato cases out their court as fast as possible and keep themselves out the media’s focus unless one of these cases has such rock solid evidence that they have to rule for Trump.
Wuh happen, man? Yuh sleep blogging? Can’t find yuh toilet?

I believe you like Trump and enjoy being facetious (not fictitious) and riling up BU contributors. Your obsession and preoccupation with Trump should be cause for concern and perhaps indicative of the fact you have too much ‘time on your hands.’
Some sources are reporting Republican legislators Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania wouldn’t allow the mail-in votes to be counted before election day. They probably anticipated Trump would have received a several votes on November 3, and decided to release those votes later in the day, by which time Trump was leading. When the count subsequently indicated Biden had taken over the lead, it provided Trump and the Republicans with an alibi to say votes suddenly appeared and shout ‘electoral fraud.’
So far, several of the over 30 lawsuits Trump and his campaign filed in Court since election day, were withdrawn, rejected or the ones ongoing are unlikely to change the outcome of the results. Judges have already dismissed or ruled against Trump campaign suits in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, and Michigan.
Here is where things stand as of Monday at 5 p.m. ET:
Pennsylvania
3rd U.S. Court of Appeals: In Bognet v. Boockvar, Republicans argued that the extended mail-in ballot deadline challenged the constitution. Status: Denied.
U.S. District Court, Eastern District: In Barnette v. Lawrence, the GOP lawsuit claimed that Montgomery County wrongly allowed mail-in voters the chance to cure ballots. Status: Dismissed.
U.S. District Court, Eastern District: In Trump v. Philadelphia County Board of Elections, the Trump campaign argued that there was insufficient access by observers. Status: Denied.
The Trump campaign later admitted that there were a “nonzero number of people in the room” observing the vote count, including some affiliated with the campaign. Judge Paul S. Diamond shot back, “I’m sorry, then what’s your problem?”
U.S. District Court, Middle District: In Pirkle v. Wolf, four voter plaintiffs generalized allegations of fraud, based on complaints issued by third parties. Status: Withdrawn.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court: In response to the Canvass of Absentee and Mail-in Ballots, Republicans claim that Philadelphia did not give election observers enough access. Status: Denied.
The court reversed the petition allowing an appeal. The court rejected the Trump campaign’s claim that mail-in ballots with minor flaws must be rejected.
Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court: In Hamm v. Boockvar, Republicans claimed that the state wrongly allowed voters to cast provisional ballots to cure invalid mail ballots. Status: Denied.
Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court: Northampton Republicans challenged notifications of votes that were canceled during prescreening. Status: Withdrawn.
Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court: In Trump v. Boockvar, the campaign challenged the three-day deadline extension given to mail-in voters missing identification to supply proof of identification.
Status: Relief granted. The court found that the secretary of state had no authority to provide an extension. The secretary of state’s office has said the total number of votes is probably fewer than 100 statewide.
Court of Common Pleas, Bucks County: Both the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign challenged over 2,000 mail-in ballots. Status: Active.
The Democratic National Committee and Bucks County seek an immediate review in Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court of whether minor oversights can invalidate ballots.
Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas: In Trump v. Montgomery County Board of Elections, the Trump campaign and the RNC challenged about 600 mail-in ballots that lacked voters’ addresses. Status: Withdrawn.
U.S. Supreme Court: In Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar, Republicans challenged the extended mail-in ballot deadline. Status: Active.
U.S. District Court, Middle District: In Trump v. Boockvar, the campaign is arguing that different provisional ballot practices violate equal protection. Status: Active.
A federal judge dismissed the suit Saturday in a scathing opinion: “This claim, like Frankenstein’s Monster, has been haphazardly stitched together,” Judge Matthew Brann wrote.
The Trump campaign on Monday appealed Saturday’s ruling in a document riddled with perplexing logic and multiple grammatical errors.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court: The Trump campaign appealed a Philadelphia County Board of Elections decision to count five different categories of mail-in and absentee ballots. Status: Active.
The court is reviewing whether the state election code allows curing some mail-in ballots by casting provisional ballots.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court: In Ziccarelli v. Allegheny County Board of Elections, Nicole Ziccarelli, a GOP legislative candidate, challenged 2,349 undated mail-in ballots. Status: Stayed.
Ziccarelli sought an injunction Monday to stop the certification of votes in Allegheny County.
Court of Common Pleas for Westmoreland County: Ziccarelli is also challenging a small number of provisional ballots. Status: Pending.
Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court: A group of Republicans, led by Rep. Mike Kelly, claimed that the state’s no-excuse mail ballot law violates the state constitution. They sought an order blocking certification of most mail-in votes or that directs the state Assembly to choose the presidential electors. Status: Pending.
Watching Fox News anyone?

Trump has never listened to the competent medical people responsible and as a lame duck never will.

@ David
Tucker Carlson……. and now Laura Ingraham??? Sean Hannity won’t concede so easily and would probably after Trump does.
Trump became incensed with FOX News, simply because they called Arizona for Biden and abandoned the media house, in favour of Newsmax, since the host there are ‘singing in his choir.’ However, I read Trump is seeking revenge by establishing a digital media channel to rival FOX and plans to ask Carlson and Hannity to work for him.
Finally the transition process is about to begin.
“Emily Murphy, the once-obscure administrator of the General Services Administration, finally authorized the transition process between President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden on Monday.”

A brave sista … you may shoot the messenger after listening to the message!
Brother Artax,
Thanks for so ably taking my shift. I know how much our interest in US politics annoys you.
But… my seventeen year old son recently had to enlighten one of his black friends who had fallen prey to dangerous misinformation wrt COVID. He would not have been able to do this without my interest here that keeps me on my toes. I share much of it with him. I often allow him to unravel John the Barbados scholar’s specious pretzel logic He must be able to recognise and dispatch the ridiculous. In a world of social media disinformation, it is truly a survival skill.
We cannot allow these alternative facts and the illogical “thinking” to go unchallenged lest they spread.
Oops! Boy oh boy! I am losing my English – fewer COVID cases not less.
By the way from what peril has Donald Trump saved the world.
Has he accelerated the creation of a vaccine against the Democrat Hoax????
I hear two Muslim immigrants were instrumental in developing one of the vaccines.
Lucky they got in before Trump’s Muslim ban!
Oh dear me!

Lagging is a technique to show the temporal relationship in time between different variables.
The red dashes at the end are projections. I doubt these were obtained from the model since the two curves were ‘diverging’ near the end.
Talk about rabbit holes, the rabbit departed for the biggest hole of all – the religious hole…

What is the difference between Trump and Jim Crow
the new Jim Crow should be called John Crow
California remains at number 1 for new cases of COVID.
I am beginning to think that it is really a Republican State since it is only Republicans who get it from not wearing masks.
Weren’t you recently asking, why is Covid increasing because everyone wearing mask??
You have now (humorously) change your argument slightly to those not wearing masks are getting Covid.
Was kind of funny, but given past experience it is the pre-work to the big lie.
Mr Blogmaster you are a studious, knowledgable and experienced political commentator so can you explain this absurd alternative universe madness re this quote: “Trump in two tweets wrote that he had asked his administration to begin the transition, though he did not concede his loss to Biden and said he would keep fighting.”
POTUS specifically tweeted that : “… in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily [the GSA director] and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.”
No POTUS has the right or autonomy to direct the office that manages the presidential transition to withhold or provide the resources for that process. The man is living in his own warped mind!
The other point is that he still says that he does NOT concede… how puerile and childish is this man going to continue!
His dangerous stupidity has so far not caused any civil strife but these continued false statements coupled with plain absurdity can yet lead to stupid acts by aggrieved fanatics.
The Biden team needs to maintain their same, steadfast progress giving little attention to all these antics!
@Dee Word
It is a preparation for a soft landing (exit) to appease his base and fan his influence within the party. He is not done yet. He received 70MM votes and has millions in a PAC as a result of fighting the fraud cause to do as he pleases to influence elections or run in 2024.
I am amazed that we know so much about the US and Trump from viewing CNN, and so little about Barbados. We are all experts now.
@Dee Word
This Newsweek article supports the point somewhat.

I read that the WH was informed on Friday that the GSA would acknowledge Biden’s victory on Monday and didn’t receive a response but senior staff was worried that they could be fired by tweet.
Trump obviously knew what was coming so his tweet in the immediacy of the announcement (although not authored by him) was ready for release.
Trump is still pissed at how everything has played out and is angry at Giuliani because he believes Giuliani oversold his chances of winning the various lawsuits.
Giuliani was one of trump’s fiercest defenders but it can be said that he is the reason Trump was impeached as his forays into Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden’s son led to Trump’s “ scratch your back scratch my back” phone call. It also revealed that Trump was preoccupied with Biden’s potential candidacy in an election (history has proved him right).
Giuliani was once respected as a feared prosecutor and a competent mayor but history will remember him more as a “Falstaff” character in the Trump WH.
Should we spend sometime discussing the savagery in Nigeria and Uganda by the military and police, and ease up on the US and Trump?
Do brutal black men shooting young black people get a pass? Has the president got anything to say about this? Or CARICOM? Or do they prefer to remain silent?
Donna November 24, 2020 7:46 AM #: ” I know how much our interest in US politics annoys you.”
@ Donna
Yes, it does…. and I’m amazed at the last count, this topic was at 1,886 comments and growing. It would probably be much less if John contributed less or combined a number of his one or two lined contributions.
But, similarly to most contributors, I would comment occasionally, especially when I read John trying to defend Trump’s actions, which are sometimes morally indefensible…….. not justifiable by any argument.
However, one must be mindful contributors should be ALLOWED to discuss whatever issue commands their interest at the time, and not be confined to those issues some individuals want them to focus on or their particular narrative.

I haven’t got a TV set and know alot about the US, Trump and Barbados!!
I do alot of reading and searching for concise opinions.
I’ll occasionally look at a CNN clip on the internet to be amazed at how different their view point is from what I find in diligent research..
Maybe that’s why the polar opposites on BU, CNN.
I think CNN is rubbish, manufactured to brainwash.

RE … and it shows in the contributions
YOU ARE VERY CORRECT JOHN
I ENJOYED THE VIDEO WITH THE DR FROM CAMEROON
SHE IS CORRECT ABOUT HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AND MEDICINE IN THE USA TOO AND HOW THEY SUPRRESED THE TRUTH
AMAZING TO HEAR THAT THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE FOR CORONOVIRUSES IS PRESENTED IN HARRISON’S TEXT BOOK OF MEDICINE FOR A WHILE
BUT THE DRUG IS VERY CHEAP
NO MONEY WAS TO BE MADE BY USING IT BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES
NOW MUCH MONEY WILL BE MADE FROM THE VACCINES
AS SHE SAID IT WAS/IS NOT A SCIENCE BATTLE BUT A PROPAGANDA…….AGAIN VERY TRUE
I POINTED OUT HERE ON BU THE SALIENT FEATURES OF HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AND ITS MECHANISM OF ACTION
AND WAS MOCKED BY THE BU IGNORAMUSES
DR FALSY UNLIKE THIS WOMAN HAS NOT SEEN ONE COVID 19 NOR HAS THE BU MEDICAL ILLITERATES
AND WE HAVE THE BU IGNORAMUSES PONTIFACTING ABOUT COVID 19, TALKING EVERYDAY ABOUT THE CASES EVERYDAY…LOL
SINCE WHEN IN ANY DISEASE HAS INCREASED POSITIVE TESTS FOR AN ILLNESS MEAN INCREASED CASES
THIS WOMAN LOST 3 OUT OF 2000 PATIENTS WHO REFUSED TO FOLLOW HER TREATMENT REGIME
FALSY SCREWD UP JUST AS HE DID YEARS AGO WITH HIV/AIDS
MANY AMERICANS DIED NEEDLESLY YEAR WHEN THEY COULD HAVE BEEN TREATED EASILY WITH HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, AND WHEREAS IT COULD HAVE ALSO BEEN USED AS PROPHYLAXIS
SHE PRAYING FOR AMERICA TOO
I WOULD NEVER PRAY FOR AMERICA. —-THE BASTION OF CORRUPTION
I BELIEVE THAT GOD AS DECLARED ICHABOD ON THE USA
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO JOHN
VERY INFORMATIVE AND FACTUAL
Not John, Ladybug.
I enjoyed it too.
In a nutshell, Social Media, the Main Stream Media, Academia, Hollywood in their attempts to cause Donald Trump harm
and create a money spinner for their masters were willing to murder people in the US and worldwide.
Prescription: Stay away from Social Media, don’t watch the Mainstream Media, question academia and don’t watch movies.
Praise God for his goodness, enjoy life, stay free and live.
… and avoid the vaccine!!
Get some hydroxy tablets!!
QUININE TONIC WATER IS ALSO A GOOD PROPHYLACTIC
You need the zinc. Waste of time without the zinc.
@Artax
Do not worry, the next chapter is about to begin – post Trump, the Biden era.
Republican sycophants have lost their goddam minds.
Trump took conspiracies and trolling to the next level of high level shit.
Welcome to the biden era INDEED
ITS GOING TO BE LOTS OF FUN AS THE USA EXPERIENCES ICHABOD.
AND THE WORLD WIDE ORDER TAKES OVER
Geriatric Gibberish: Biden Emerges From His Basement & Holds Disastrous Press Conference
Basement-dweller geriatric Joe Biden emerged from his damp Delaware subterranean holding cell on Thursday to stand in front of a bank of microphones and attempt to mimic a sentient human being.
For all of twenty minutes before his sweaty handlers whisked him away behind the curtain to disappear once again into the depths of his Wilmington home where one presumes, Biden is kept occupied by an unlimited supply of posterboard and Crayola’s and is repeatedly rebuffed from eating Screamin’ Green, Neon Carrot, and Razzle Dazzle Rose in between signing off on socialist-inspired policy initiatives put in front of by him by wannabe Marxists and career Washington failures.
Can you imagine being saddled with this sad hollowed out sack of skin and bones as president for four years? Viewers of Joe Biden’s Thursday afternoon press conference don’t need to imagine it – they saw it with their own eyes. And what they saw was a man unfit to hold a mop in a bingo parlor, let alone serve as president of the United States.
Here is one exchange between a reporter and Biden during the presser:Reporter: “How do you justify not taking legal action” against Trump for not starting the transition?”Biden: “I’m going to — we’re going to impose the — we’re going to enforce the — excuse me, employ the defense, reconstruct the act, to be able to go out there and dictate companies build and do following things.”
Unfortunately, it’s not a laughing matter. Joe Biden appears in a constant battle with senility and like a swimmer who can’t swim is gasping for air as he tries to tread the sea of consciousness and keep his head above water as he slips into the darkness of dementia below. At least Joe’s pinstripe suit looks sharp.
What Joe was groping for – besides a 12-year-old’s skirt – is that he pledges to invoke the “Defense Production Act” to marshal the resources of U.S. industry behind the lead of the federal government to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. Except that President Trump already employed the “Defense Production Act” back in March and did just that.
It appears Biden never updated his talking points or, more likely, forgot what year he is in. “It’s 1987, isn’t that right Corn Pop? Corn Pop was a bad dude.”Maybe Biden will activate Corn Pop, too, along with the National Guard, as I’m sure Corn Pop has a lot to contribute to the COVID-19 relief efforts, certainly compared to the political failures in Biden’s orbit.
The fact is that under President Trump, COVID shortages no longer exist and we have record testing. The only other “solution” in Joe Biden’s empty bag of tricks is to put the entire U.S. into a prolonged job-crushing nationwide lockdown. If Joe Biden prevails in the presidential election, will he even make it to the January 20th swearing-in before the Radical Left Democrats invoke the 25th amendment, declare Biden cognitively compromised and mentally unfit to serve because of dementia, and install Kamala Harris as the 46th U.S. president?
Old Joe Biden is slipping and slipping fast and he hears the footsteps behind him, except this time it’s not just the invisible elves that only he can see running him down.
The Radical Left is frothing at the mouth and licking their lips: they’ve can’t wait to sink their fangs into Joe Biden and drain what little life is left in his dry corpse, dispose of him and install their own.
If there is ANY QUESTION about Joe Biden’s rapid and shocking cognitive decline just take a moment to view his 1993 speech on the Senate floor about “predators on our streets” or even his 2016 speech at the DNC Convention. The decline is shocking.Joe Biden hasn’t just lost a step. He’s lost it. The Radical Left will overtake him completely in no time. It’s already happening now.
