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.

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...

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...

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...
