Donald Trump wrote on his social media site Truth Social that he won the debate with Kamala Harris, and said that there will be no further debates.  Just his general nature, or illusionary as usual, for all polls showed Harris trouncing Trump.  From  Reuters : Voters generally gave Harris better marks than Trump on how she carried herself. Asked which of the two appeared more dignified, 56% of people familiar with the debate picked Harris, compared to 24% who picked Trump. Forty-nine percent said Harris "seemed like someone who would listen to me and understand my concerns," compared to 18% who saw Trump that way. And, oh oh, is he in trouble with The Donald, for  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.  himself said Harris won and that Independents support for Trump will drop following this disastrous debate. Fox News host Neil Cavuto said Trump lost the debate by a wide margin.  He decisively lost.  He might have made very good presentations on where the economy was,...

The future of Democracy for the USA got a boost from former Congresswoman Liz Cheney and her father, former  Congressman, Vice President under George W. Bush and White House Chief of Staff for President Gerald Ford.  Like JD Vance, Dick Cheney graduated from Yale.  Liz is a law school graduate from the University of Chicago. Better yet, it appears that Liz will campaign with Harris as needed and the  Harris-Walz team raised $361 million August, triple that of Trump-Vance .  Plus all those  additional campaign volunteers  to boost their ground game. The highlight of this coming week is the Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris debate. Finally, some good news for Boeing and NASA.  The  Starliner spacecraft returned to Earth, but without the two astronauts.   When are they returning, and how?   A lot of unknowns remain .  Looks like February of 2025, with SpaceX looming to be the carrier.  But the USA might need to ask Russia fo...

As expected,  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced the suspension of his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.   He had become inconsequential, and joining the creepy Republican presidential team only worsens their chances.  I should add that.... five of his siblings   issued a joint statement in a post on X after he suspended his campaign   and said he was supporting Trump. STATEMENT ON ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.'S ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride. We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend Courtney Kennedy Kerry Kennedy Chris Kennedy Rory Kennedy The Democratic National Convention is over, and the party succeeded in selling joy and hope, over ...

Nothing about that liar today, but one note on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire plan mentioned by President Joe Biden on Friday.  Today, Ophir Falk, chief foreign policy adviser to Benjamin Netanyahu, said that  Israel agreed to the deal .  In the meantime, Israeli forces are now entering Rafah.  Maybe more importantly, it appears that  Hamas responded positively to the offer .  A lot more to come before an actual agreement.  But this is the closest the Gaza Strip has been to peace since October 8. America's Got Talent is back into Season 19 on Tuesday nights on NBC for two hours, followed on Wednesday with a one-hour results show.  This year each judge will get two Golden Buzzers. I saw the first episode earlier this week, and the following individuals impressed me: Ballerina Ashlee Montague balance act on champagne bottles .  Amazing. I hate dog acts, but  Adrian Stoica and Hurricane were heartwarming . Baby Dev , all of 2 years old, can rea...
