First of all, no doubt the White House had a heavy hand, but the East/Gulf Coast dockworkers strike of 45,000 union members reached an agreement, with these workers getting a 62% increase in pay. This was the first stoppage since 1977. Whew, for the Democrats on November 5. Details worked out? Well, no, for the negotiators will return to the bargaining table on 15January2025 to iron-out any outstanding issues. Surely sounds like a nice political solution. Credit President Joe Biden. He today appeared on the regular White House Press Conference and also underscored the economic success of the administration. Looks like our economy will mostly look good for voters through November 5, with inflation downtrending and unemployment low.Aside from the economy, one matter Donald Trump and JD Vance keep talking about is immigration. More specifically, that immigrants are committing crimes. Sure, some do, but the more immigrants the lower the crime rate. From the New York Times.
About election day and fraud, one way Trump can win is by outright crookery. Ironic that he keeps bringing this subject up. Surely enough, today, a Republican elections official got a 9 year prison sentence in Colorado for tampering with voting machines in the 2020 election. Since then, AI has entered the picture, and I would not be surprised if Trump MAGA supporters try some kind of deepfake surprise or two. What is that? Read this. All that on top of what is going on in Georgia and other states. You never ever hear of Democrats being dishonest. What's wrong with Republicans today? Yeah, I know....Donald Trump.
Finally, the horror of Hurricane Helene:
- The death toll is past 222, and will keep rising.
- At one point, 4.5 million were without power, which is now below a million.
- After all that, yellow-jackets are now swarming in North Carolina.
- And, yes, Republicans are lying about the ineptitude of the White House in aiding victims.
SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR PLANET EARTH AND HUMANITY is the title of my blog, and the most recent three books I have published.
I'm not sure how many people have really visited this blog site, for a decade or so ago I stopped paying Google to count the clicks. However, what remained was a total viewership, which today is approaching 3.25 million. Plus, I counted the flags, and 221 domains have visited me. Interestingly enough, for this past week, there were more viewers from Singapore than the USA. (About the following, sorry, don't know what is in that box, and I can't get rid of it.)

I looked at the daily visits from around the globe, and a typical day has visitors from around a hundred countries. During the past two months, the low was 54, with a high on August 29 of 187 domains. The title was DONALD TRUMP AND THE COVID PANDEMIC. He gave himself an A+ for handling the pandemic, but was credited with killing 400,000 Americans for his gross mishandling of the crisis. And he could well become the next president again.
For your information, the difference between countries (there are 195) and domains (242) is that the latter includes places like Antarctica and various small locations. 22 have not yet visited this site. Do me a favor: click on that and ask any contact of yours to read this blog. Among those are Christmas Island, Nauru, North Korea and Vatican City. Would be nice to reach all 242 domains.
