Trump supporters are not angry.

They are misinformed, lied to, aggressive but not angry. We have seen this type of behavior of Republicans before this election when they stormed a meeting. Their ATTITUDE is the problem.

To make excuses for bad behavior is only to allow it to continue. The Republicans seeking to assault ballot counters are rude and frustrated with leadership because it doesn't serve their interests. They are criminal in their behavior. They are encouraged to be criminals.

"Stand down and stand by." 

This is it. The Deep State is up to their worst and they are going to take the country away from poor Donnie.

There is no reason to create excuses for the very bad behavior of Trump Republicans. They are not angry, they are criminal in their behavior.

Could it be they don’t care about the American democracy anymore than Trump or Giuliani?

When the analysis of this election is complete, the priority of national security will be a focus.

The Democrats did not misread their understanding that the Senate would switch and the US House would gain Democratic members. Traditionally, when a president is elected, which many believed Joe Biden, as I do, will take the presidency, the down-ballot follows.

This presidential election is not normal. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris knew they were running for the soul of this country. That focus was a part of their speeches every day. It was an easy fit for Joe Biden because it is where he lives and has lived all his political career.

I believe when the Democrats look at the final results they will see people that love their country. They love their democracy. Republicans endorsed Joe Biden. Many did. But, they never turned away from their party on the down-ballot.

It is a remarkable election and I strongly believe if there are two people in this county that can heal the nation and bring us together it is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 


There is a lot to do and I back the idea that to return the economy the virus must be vanquished. The financial markets have been a roller coaster quite frankly. They have not recovered to their high this year. Traditionally, if the markets are experiencing this type of volatility the incumbent is not returned to office. Markets like predictability and they act on it. There was a lot of money lost in the markets this year through their own fault. There is far too much gambling within the markets with exotic instruments. COVID-19 had no sympathy for them.

Americans need to remember the financial markets are not where their jobs are. Small businesses are the place Americans find their jobs. Small businesses for the most part do not have IPOs and are not leveraged on the stock exchanges. The USA can easily recover without the financial markets being happy and the focus of national concern. Their exotic instruments should be put on hold and that might be enforced in China (click here). Joe Biden's top priority is to make the SARS-CoV-2 grip on the USA end.

To return to the election, I love the FACT so many young people are involved in this election and they are seeing their faces among the candidates. That is vital for a lot of issues the Democrats will face this year (Excluding the economy for a moment.), including health care, climate, SSI, and Medicare.

In my opinion, the reason the states are becoming a bit unpredictable is because of the Citizen United decision. I might add the candidates that won this year did so without big money from the petroleum industry and the NRA. Why? Because they are failing industries as they should be. As the young generations are taking their place in the power structure of the government these ancient industries will wane.

Citizens United has caused both parties to invest heavily in advertising. The enormous number of ads get voters attention and as they are repeated over and over it reinforces their belief systems and compels them to the polls. The ads don't necessarily change anyone's mind, so much as reinforces voters reasons to vote in opposition of "the other candidate." Citizen United is causing these small margins of votes for a win.

In the final analysis, this election was about the security of the democracy called the United States of America. Rightfully so. The Democrats need to reset their priorities and the leadership should not take for granted a win by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is permission for an agenda the country may be uncertain about. On the other hand, the Republicans need to examine their really incredible lack of loyalty to the USA Constitution. Trump should have been removed from office and if he was just maybe more than 220,000 Americans might still be alive.

Stocks fell on Friday, (click here) dropping for the fourth time in the past five days in a retreat that has added up to Wall Street’s worst week since March, as rising pandemic cases, new shutdowns and a sell-off in large technology stocks all dragged the major benchmarks lower.

The S&P 500 fell 1.2 percent Friday, bringing its loss for the week to 5.6 percent. That’s its biggest weekly drop since the week through March 20, when stocks plunged 15 percent before they began to rebound after the Federal Reserve and lawmakers in Washington stepped in to bolster the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 6.5 percent for the week, also its worst decline since March.

The latest sell-off has come as a second wave of cases forced more lockdowns in Europe, threatening the economic recovery and spooking investors around the world. In the United States, a record number of cases is prompting city and county governments to start imposing curfews and limits on gatherings....

US stock markets (click here) have recorded their biggest post-election leap in decades despite continuing uncertainty over which candidate will win the race.

Shares rallied as investors bet the closer-than-expected results reduced the chance of big changes for business.

Tech and health firms, now seen as less likely to face new regulation, led the gains.

Facebook shares rose more than 8%, while several major health insurance firms saw double-digit jumps.

The Dow closed up more than 1.3%, while the wider S&P 500 climbed 2.2%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq gained nearly 3.9%....

They don't like the volatility. Until the virus is under control and then eradicated, the financial markets SHOULD REMAIN IN BEAR TERRITORY. They won't like it, but, they will survive.

I knew something went well when...

 ...my 85 year old mother yelled, "Woo-Who." 

When I asked her why she was so excited she said, "Michigan came home to us. I knew mailing ballots would be the way to go because Putin can't get his hands on them."

So, there it is. A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin. 

DEMOCRACY ROCKS!

I told you so.. The more SARS-CoV-2 are exposed to human beings the more dangerous it becomes through mutations.

This virus MUST BE ELIMINATED from Earth. Put scientists back in China. Now!

Deaths are not the only worst-case scenario. This virus is disabling people. This virus will create an enormous burden on governments if it continues it's current path. 

Viruses are RNA and have a very dangerous capacity to mutate within the DNA of the host. This virus is large and ruptures cell membranes causing an immune reaction by the body which in turn causes microscopic blood clots and severe inflammation. The clots cause microscopic damage to capillaries regardless of organ and/or organ systems. Depending on comorbidities that microscopic damage will be exacerbated.

If the damage is the brain and the clots have accumulated to a larger clot the damage will cause irretrievable losses of brain function, quite possibly impacting the function of other body systems. Most every body system has nerve innovation.

This virus is far, far too dangerous to simply think it will be something people have to live with. It is very, very possible to remove this virus from Earth. There are finite living people. Every person must be safe from the virus. Vaccines may or may not be effective. No one knows exactly at this point. Because viruses are RNA, that is why I find "Moderna" a very promising company with many scientist geniuses that may hold the key to an effective vaccine. Once a vaccine is realized, it is possible for a company like "Moderna" to address the mutations as well.

Not to diminish the efforts by other companies. If the vaccine is a "general use" (as most are) vaccine that attacks the structure of coronavirus the mutations may as well be addressed and there is no worry. However, mutation just might be able to beat the vaccine and has to be addressed further.

Be aware this ability to mutate is not exclusive to SARS-CoV-2. This is a characteristic of viruses. This must be addressed and the virus eliminated. Today, we may be looking at another virus out of China, it needs to be known and evidently, the USA is the only country with the capacity in cost and personnel that is capable of a large forensic program in China to find new viruses.

The world is not that big and this is a very viable activity among countries to contain these viruses.

A study (click here) involving more than 5,000 COVID-19 patients in Houston finds that the virus that causes the disease is accumulating genetic mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious. According to the paper published in the peer-reviewed journal mBIO, that mutation, called D614G, is located in the spike protein that pries open our cells for viral entry. It’s the largest peer-reviewed study of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences in one metropolitan region of the U.S. to date.

The paper shows “the virus is mutating due to a combination of neutral drift — which just means random genetic changes that don’t help or hurt the virus — and pressure from our immune systems,” said Ilya Finkelstein, associate professor of molecular biosciences at The University of Texas at Austin and co-author of the study. The study was carried out by scientists at Houston Methodist Hospital, UT Austin and elsewhere.

During the initial wave of the pandemic, 71% of the novel coronaviruses identified in patients in Houston had this mutation. When the second wave of the outbreak hit Houston during the summer, this variant had leaped to 99.9% prevalence. This mirrors a trend observed around the world. A study published in July based on more than 28,000 genome sequences found that variants carrying the D614G mutation became the globally dominant form of SARS-CoV-2 in about a month. SARS-CoV-2 is the coronavirus that causes COVID-19....

Trump's criminality needs to be exposed regardless of who takes the presidency.

Counties throughout the USA have missing mail-in ballots that did not vote in person. Those numbers have to be accounted for because of the criminal element in the Trump Administration.

The United States Postal Service has been trustworthy until this year. It has never been as corrupted by this administration and the Board of Governors. The integrity of the delivery of mail-in ballots is strongly in question. The numbers of unregistered mail-in ballots need to be realized.

Those ballots are physically somewhere within the states. Literally, the post offices need to be swept for undelivered ballots. What is also a reality is the fact ballots are probably buried in landfills.

The earliest dispatch of mailed ballots begins in North Carolina at 60 days (click here). Those dates mean the ballots have the potential to be in landfills and or incinerated. There are 23 states that incinerate garbage (click here)

There have been crimes committed during this election by Trump. It should never be allowed without resolve.

There needs to be injunctions of landfill sites until the ballots are recovered. It probably also means being alert for the discovery of illegal dumping of the mail. Citizens will discover these efforts to defraud a democracy's election. They will be walkers, joggers, hikers and off-roaders that run across illegal dumping. Citizens will need to be aware of a hotline number to call should illegal dumping be discovered.

As a democracy, we cannot tolerate criminality by those running for office in any form it takes. I could not be more serious. Either we are a democracy that respects every vote or we aren't.

Evidence needs to be documented including interviews of those handling the mail. and charges filed.
