ONLY IN AMERICA

Is it possible that Donald Trump could have crossed the line into actual derangement?  The pressure has been horrendous, and the thought of prison must be terrorizing.  Don't know if there is a medically scientific term for mental derangement, but maybe something all-inclusive like psychiatric disorder might be it.

Well, the USA Women's Soccer team is out of the World Cup.  They lost to Sweden.  England would now be the favorite, followed by Spain, but maybe now even Japan, which is in a down period compared to their past, could well slip into #3 position.  Japan vs Sweden on Thursday could well provide an answer.

Have you been following the Bud Light boycott?

  • Bud Light is the top beer brand in the U.S.
  • Well, earlier this year, Anheuser-Busch decided to address some declining sales and attract a younger group.
    • During March Madness, Tik Tok personality Dylan Mulvaney was selected to increase sales.
    • She played Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
    • She is transgender woman, meaning she was born a male.
  • American conservatives, led by by Kid Rock, and including Caitlyn Jenner and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, instigated a boycott.  Somehow, Trump and MAGA are part of the scene.  Watch this.  How did Lindsey Graham get involved?  Read this.
  • Sales of Bud Light fell by as much as 26%.
  • Bud Light was #1 for 20 years.  Modelo Especial is now the #1 beer in the USA.

Well, not all is bad in America.  If you're worried that Michelle and Barack Obama must have some financial problems, as no one seems to be working, well:

The Obamas just dropped $12M on their new home on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. The waterfront property sits on 29 acres of land, and it boasts 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and an outdoor swimming pool. Let's take a closer look inside!


Last month I reported on a Santa Cruz otter that steal surfboards.  Then this week, three Montana women were injured while inner tubing along the Jefferson River.  They were all injured, and one of them more seriously that she was helicoptered to a hospital.  There are signs warning of a vicious otter.

While you are not supposed to keep an otter as a pet, apparently, alligators are okay.  Five states allow this without a license or permit.  22 other states if you have one or the other.  It is illegal in Hawaii.  Here is the breakdown.  Want cuddle an alligator?  Watch this.

Hurricane Dora is now back up to 140 MPH.  Good thing she is sufficiently south of Hawaii.

Tropical Storm Eugene has formed off Mexico, and will attain hurricane strength, but is projected to remain around Baja.

Tropical Storm Khanun was once at 140 MPH, caused some havoc over Okinawa twice, but is now a tropical storm heading for Kagoshima.  However. another restrengthening will occur into hurricane strength, with the eye projected to make landfall near Busan, South Korea.

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota.  Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north.  Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge.  If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic.  Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing.  The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University.  Caught a bus. Was called the  Century 21 Exposition .  Also the Seattle World's Fair.  10 million joined me on a six-month run.  My first. These a...

OSAKA EXPO: Day One

Well, the day finally came for us to go to the Osaka Expo.  We were told ahead of time that the long walks would be fearful, giant lines will need to be tolerated just to get into the Expo, with those ocean breezes, it would really be cold, and so forth. Maybe it was pure luck, but we avoided all the above warnings  We had a grand day, and are looking forward to Sunday, our second day at the Expo.  So come along for an enjoyable ride. Our hotel is adjacent to the Tennoji Station, a very large one with several lines.  We upgraded our Suica card and caught the Misosuji red line towards Umeda. Transferred to the Chuo green line at the Hommachi Station.  This Osaka Metro train took us to the Yumeshima Station at the Expo site.   It was a very large mob leaving the train and heading to the entrance. Took only a few minutes to get to the entrance.  This mob was multiplied by at least a factor of  ten of those already waiting to enter.  However...

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP on THE ECONOMY and OTHER MATTERS

 President Donald Trump said this weekend: Is not joking about a third term .  Which is better for the U.S. than he unilaterally just becoming a dictator. Will absolutely deliver on his massive  reciprocal tariff plan on April 2 .  He dubs it Liberation Day. Reasserted that the  U.S. would 100% annex Greenland . Will ban refugees....except for White South Africans .  Guess from where comes Elon Musk?  If so, how many refugees has so far expressed interest?   67,000 . Will approve Canadian firm, The Metals Company, to  mine the deep seabed , circumventing international law, drawing denouncement from 40 countries. Lethargic help to Myanmar  recovering from the damage caused by a 7.7 earthquake.  USAID cuts reduces our ability to provide assistance worldwide. Very angry and pissed off at Vladimir Putin  for continuing the Ukraine-Russia War, a first for Trump, who has been giving the Ukraine house away. From the New York Time...
