SORRY, BUT MORE ON TRUMP AND HIS CONSPIRATORS

See that photo above?  This could well be the most memorable photo ever taken of a past president of the USA.  Donald Trump's mug shot is the first for someone who held this position, and could well earn him a billion dollars on his way to the Republican nomination for president next July in Milwaukee.  Secretly ecstatic would be Democratic insiders who see a successful Trump opposition to Joe Biden as the key to holding on to the White House and Senate, while flipping the House on November 5, 2024.  

Milwaukee, incidentally, was also the site of that first Republican presidential debate, said to have been "won" by Vivek Ramaswany, with DeSantis and Pence gaining some, and Joe Biden perhaps being the biggest winner.  As the center of attention, Ramaswany showed huge flaws.  He is a 38-year old high tech almost billionaire who was born in Cincinnati of India Hindu immigrants.  Incidentally, the 2028 convention will occur in Houston.

While Trump was getting booked in Atlanta yesterday, just 11 miles away, Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley and Viktor Hovland each shot a round of 61 at the 2023 FedEx Cup Finals.  This field of 70 golfers began play two weeks ago in Memphis, was cut to 50, then last week in Illinois down to 30.  The winner will get $18 million, and if you are in the top ten, you will win at least a million.  The last place #30 will earn at least half a million.

But back to Trump and his conspirators, you need a score-card to keep track, so here is one:

  • Mark Meadows will get his day in court  with Judge Steven Jones in Atlanta on Monday, August 28 to see if he can get his trial to a federal court.  
  • Also on Monday, Judge Tanya Chutkan will in DC set the trial date for the Trump's coup trial.
  • September 27:  second GOP presidential primary debate.
  • October 2:  New York Trump civil fraud suit.
  • October 23:  Kenneth Chesebro will be the first to be tried in Georgia.  Others?
  • January 15, 2024:  E. Jean Carrol civil defamation suit in Manhattan.  She already has won $5 million, and seeks an additional $10 million.
  • January 15:  Iowa Republican Caucus.
  • January 29:  you no doubt already forgot this was pending, but this is the date of Trump's pyramid scheme.
  • February 6:  Nevada Republican primary.
  • March 5, 2024:  Super Tuesday Republican primary.
  • March 25:  that porn star hush-money case facing Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
  • May 14:  pre-trial hearing in the Florida classified documents case.
  • May 20:  trial in that documents case.
  • July 15-18:  Republican National Convention.

THE ENIGMATIC PHIL SPECTOR

The first presidential debate of Donald Trump and Joe Biden ended up in a near tie.  Both lost.  However, it was an unmitigated disaster for Biden, who just might be too old to win this re-election. For Trump, it was a reinforcement of what he does all the the time, lie.   There will be significant calls for the Democratic Party to work out "something" to replace Biden as their presidential candidate.  Suddenly, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama are added to the spotlight.  But what can "legally" occur at the August Democratic Convention? The situation is different on the Republican side, as Trump is the Republican Party, and no matter if he gets 4 years at his felony sentencing on July 9, or even if the Supreme Court determines he is not immune next week or later, he will be the presidential candidate. Trump is a damned boastful liar and convicted felon, but that is the only option for Republicans.  His vice-presidential choice now become...

ON THE MATTER OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

Hawaii today celebrates King Kamehameha the First Day as a public holiday.  Next Monday, June 19, or  Juneteenth,  is a Federal holiday.  However, 22 states, including Hawaii, do not recognize this as a public holiday.  Four of these will begin to honor this day next year, not Hawaii.  Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery.  Here are the Hawaii holidays, and note three that only we have: New Year’s Day: 1st day in January Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: 3rd Monday in January Presidents’ Day: 3rd Monday in February Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day: 26th day in March Good Friday: Friday before Easter Easter:   Calculating Easter Memorial Day: Last Monday in May King Kamehameha I Day: 11th day in June Independence Day: 4th day in July Statehood Day: 3rd Friday in August Labor Day: 1st Monday in September Veterans’ Day: 11th day in November Thanksgiving Day: 4th Thursday in November Christmas: 25th day in December There are  11 paid Fede...

THE TRUMP ENERGY PROGRAM

From  Time  magazine, I begin with a slew of Trump topics.  You can read the details. The unpopular Big Beautiful Bill is now in the House . The only truly effective anti-Trump person:  Elon Musk. The Trump Gaza ceasefire proposal . The July 4th Free American Anti-Trump Protest planned across the USA . This site began as a renewable energy and environment blog, and has evolved to just about any subject.  I try to keep Wednesdays for sci-tech, with perhaps a monthly focus on energy.  More recently, I've drawn from the  Energy Matters  info sent to me by the American Energy Society.  I'm inserting direct quotes this time to eliminate my predilections for more credibility. This service starts with some broad topics. - Fossil fuels: Helium is locked in a supply crunch, and prices are surging. - Renewables: Congress will probably pass new renewable fuel standards for 2026 and 2027. - Policy: President Trump is now focused on Califor...
