You will note, of course, that today is January 9, 2024.  

  • Yesterday was the last day to file pre-trial motions for Georgia defendants to strengthen their case.  
    • Michael Roman, former Trump campaign staffer, accused District Attorney Fani Willis of an act to defraud the  public of honest service by alleging a secret romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a top prosecutor to lead the investigation against Trump and his 18 co-defendants.
    • Willis said she will later formally respond.

    • Donald Trump's attorneys filed a motion claiming he had presidential immunity from the 13 charges Willis brought against him.
  • About #2 above:
    • The three-lady appeals judges expressed deep skepticism toward Trump's argument that he can't be prosecuted for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
    • Trump showed up in court, again taking advantage of media coverage to raise funds and show his prominence.
  • Chances are that this federal appeals panel will rule against Trump, sending the case to the Supreme Court to determine is Trump has immunity.
  • When?  Perhaps a week.
  • When will the Supreme Court Act?  Who knows, but they have not been particularly supportive of him in the past when it comes to personal matters.

A surprise in New Hampshire.  

  • While the latest Iowa poll (today) of their Republican primary has Trump at 51%, DeSantis at 17% and Haley at 16%, 538 also today indicated:  Trump 42%, Haley 30% and DeSantis 6% in NEW HAMPSHIRE.
  • Also, a new CNN New Hampshire poll released today, conducted by the University of New Hampshire, has Trump at 39%, Haley 32%--only a 7% difference--with Christie 12%, Ramaswamy 8% and DeSantis at an embarrassing 5%. 

Interestingly enough, although Nikki Haley is a former governor of South Carolina;

  • The 538 poll about the South Carolina Republican primary race released today showed Trump 53%, Haley 24% and DeSantis 13%.  538 is owned by Disney.
    • During the past few days, Trump numbers have actually gone up.  
    • In fact, that 53% figure is the highest Trump has ever been since polling began back in April of last year.
  • Why such a big difference between New Hampshire and South Carolina?
  • The Economist, December 31-January 2:
    • Biden  41%    Haley  36%
    • Biden  44%    DeSantis  41%
    • Biden  44%    Trump  44%
  • ActiVote in the October 6 to January 3 period:  Biden 46% and Trump 54%
  • What is ActiVote?  Not sure, but you can visit their home page HERE. 
  • Morning Consult for January 2-4:  Biden 41% and Trump 43%
  • Morning Consult for January 5-7:  Biden 43% and Trump 42%
  • Who is Morning Consult?  From Wikipedia:
Morning Consult is a business intelligence company established in 2014.[1] It was named one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America by Deloitte in both 2018 and 2019[2][3]and was valued at more than one billion dollars in June 2021.[4]

What do all these numbers mean?  Not much.  We have 301 days to November 5, 2024.

Have you wondered how much Donald Trump is spending on lawyers for all the above?  Zero.  As of a couple of months ago, his Save American political action committee has paid $37 million to more than 60 law firms and individual attorneys since January 2022.  Then again, Reuters reported a $40+ million bill for just the first half of 2023.  So the answer is considerable, but all paid by his supporters, not him.

A NEXT COVID SUBVARIANT?

By now most know that the Omicron BA.5 subvariant has become the dominant infectious agent, now accounting for more than 80% of all COVID-19 cases.  Very few are aware that a new one,   BA.4.6,  is sneaking in and steadily rising, now accounting for 13% of sequenced samples .  However, as BA.4.6 has emerged from BA.4, while there is uncertainty, the scientific sense is that the latest bivalent booster targeting BA.4 and BA.5 should also be effective for this next threat. One concern is that Evusheld--the only monoclonal antibody authorized for COVID prevention in immunocompromised individuals--is not effective against BA.4.6.  Here is a  reference  as to what this means.  A series of two injections is involved.  Evusheld was developed by British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, and is a t ixagevimab  co-packaged with  cilgavimab . More recently, Los Angeles County reported on  subvariant BA.2.75.2 . which Tony Fauci termed suspicious and troublesome.  This strain has also been spreading in

Part 3: OUR NEXT AROUND THE WORLD ODYSSEY

Before I get into my third, and final, part of this cruise series, let me start with some more newsworthy topics.  Thursday was my pandemic day for years.  Thus, every so often I return to bring you up to date on the latest developments.  All these  subvariants  derived from that Omicron variant, and each quickly became dominant, with slightly different symptoms.  One of these will shock you. There has been a significant decline in the lost of taste and smell.  From two-thirds of early patients to now only 10-20% show these symptoms. JN.1, now the dominant subvariant, results in mostly mild symptoms. However, once JN.1 infects some, there seem to be longer-lasting symptoms. Clearly, the latest booster helps prevent contracting Covid. A competing subvariant,  BA.2.86,  also known as Pirola , a month ago made a run, but JN.1 prevailed. No variant in particular, but research has shown that some of you will begin to  lose hair  for several months.  This is caused by stress more than anythi

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 are held every five years, and there have only been
