DONALD TRUMP

Today was a good day for Donald Trump:

  • It's looking like the Supreme Court will allow Donald Trump to run for president.
  • He will win all the delegate votes in the Nevada caucus,
  • He prevailed over Congress by having his followers delete any progress on border talks.
So what about Trump's future?  The following is pure speculation based on what I know about the trials and taradiddles of Donald Trump.
  • The Supreme Court will rule that Colorado, certainly, but all other states, too, must allow Trump to run for president if he wins the nomination of the Republican Party in mid-July.
  • However, when they make that declaration, or not long after that, they will indicate by their actions, that he is not immune to prosecution.
  • Finally, the Supreme Court will say that if he is judged guilty in Georgia or DC of his coup attempt, Trump will abdicate his position as president if he wins re-election on 5November2024.  He will not be able to pardon himself.
The problem with the above is one of timing.
  • If the Supreme Court makes the above decision in a timely manner, they need to do this before the Republican Convention in July, for that could determine if that party will want him to be their candidate.  However, by Super Tuesday, March 5, Trump will be so far ahead in the primaries that it will essentially be too late for Republicans to select anyone else.
  • Chances are that the Supreme Court is just as concerned about the danger of Donald Trump regarding the future of the country that it will act soon.  But when?

Watch what is happening in Brazil.  Former President Jair Bolsonaro and his coup attempt has entered a phase that will soon be faced by Donald Trump.

  • This sounds so much like 6January2021 in the USA, but Bolsonaro is being investigated for allegedly plotting a military coup after his electoral loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (on the left) in 2022.
  • Brazilian police today confiscated Bolsonaro's passport and accused him of editing a draft decree to overturn election results, pressuring military chiefs to join a coup attempt and plotting to jail a Supreme Court justice.
  • Arrested were four former aides.
  • Search warrants were placed against four ex-ministers.
  • Bolsonaro has already been ruled politically ineligible until 2030 for spreading election falsehoods, and faces several other criminal probes that could land him in jail.
  • He has denied any wrongdoing, and says these accusations are politically motivated.
  • In almost every way, Bolsonaro is a twin of Donald Trump.
  • Similarly, President da Silva is playing the role of President Joe Biden.

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
