WHO IS FREIDA MCFADDEN?

I'll get to Freida later, but will start with another Democratic Party strategy to win the presidential election.  If just another 2% of voters can be swayed to vote for them because of this issue, that will make a huge difference in various races, especially for Congress, which is looking more and more like Republican victories in both chamber of Congress.  That bit of strategy is the Supreme Court.  This further shows how important President Joe Biden is in this presidential campaign. Biden today announced a program to reform the Supreme Court , including term limits. Will these measures pass through Congress in the coming years?  Nah, but just the mentioning of their brokenness, will gain a few votes for Democrats, as members of the court have had scandal problems, while the whole body has become unpopular for their decisions on abortion rights and the environment, while making Donald Trump immune from prosecution, increasing the chances of his destroying Democrac...

THE LARGEST COMPANIES OF THE WORLD

First a few comments about the  Supreme Court yesterday giving any U.S. president immunity for any criminal act : All future Trump trials will be delayed until next year or never be held. That sentencing by Judge Juan Marchen scheduled for July 11 has been delayed until September 18.  One of many frightening quotes, and  this one from Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayer : Leading the liberals, Justice Sonia Sotomayor outlined hypothetical situations where the concept of immunity could apply. "Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival?" she wrote. "Immune." "Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune." Combined with his disaster debate performance, President Joe Biden's hope for re-election now look downright dismal.  All  polls taken after the debate  show him falling behind Trump.  What options are left? He could step down, leading to  what the De...

IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF DEMOCRACY IN THE USA?

The U.S. Supreme Court this morning declared that Donald Trump does have immunity for official acts!!!    In other words, they took the guardrails off his power if he becomes the next president.  When you add to this monumental judgement the awful performance of Joe Biden at the presidential debate last week, and you know what Trump will do if he gets re-elected, one can only wonder if this is just the beginning of the end of Democracy in the United States. That above paragraph is, actually, an exaggeration of the reality.  Trump and the MAGA movement, of course, are ecstatic and now emboldened by SCOTUS's action.  However, here is what actually happened: The vote could have gone 5-4 against Trump, because there are the three liberal female associate justices and five conservatives.  However, Amy Barrett was only barely in the winner's side corner, and Chief Justice John Roberts, while also siding with the majority, had some cautionary words. The ruling onl...
