Time   magazine had three articles on Donald Trump's blow-out win in Iowa last night: Trump Dominates in Iowa . How Trump Took Control of the GOP Primary. In Iowa, Ron DeSantis Takes His Loss as a Win . Also,  Vivek Ramaswamy and Asa Hutchison dropped out , leaving three Republican candidates. You might wonder why DeSantis and Haley are continuing to run. They mostly harbor hopes that Trump will be prevented from running for president this year.  The Supreme Court could still make their dreams come true.  Clearly, court cases won't be any factor.  And Trump is in a New York court today. Odds are fair that Haley could beat Trump in New Hampshire, with DiSantis a distant third. However, the Donald will embarrass Nikki in her home state of South Carolina, and the end result will be similar to Iowa, with DeSantis this time in third place.  That will occur on February 27. So if Trump remains eligible to run, he will be officially nominated in mid-July. One reason will be states like

  I'll start with a lot of grief.  Did you notice that the World has passed   200 million COVID-19 cases ?   That's 2.6% of the global population.   Note that our current pandemic shows a current total deaths of  4.3 million , significant, but only 0.06% of people on Planet earth.   Smallpox killed 500 million .

A century ago, the  H1N1 Pandemic , also known as the Spanish Flu, killed  50 million  when the world population was 1.8 billion. That's almost 3% of the world population. It is said that the average life expectancy in the U.S. dropped by 12 years. However, there are estimate

According to a Pew Research Center global study of 230 countries and territories, 84% of people in the world are affiliated with a religion.  Most of the 16% non-believers reside in China and Russia, where religion is actively discouraged.  It is thus believable that most of Humanity thank some form of God for their blessings.  I don't express my feelings to anyone in particular, but appreciate the efforts of friends, family, colleagues, teachers, freedom fighters, medical profession and certain organizations. What can Americans be thankful about?  He has his supporters, but the majority are relieved that Donald Trump is no longer PUS ( P resident of the U nited S tates ).   This makes TV news channel watching now a bore, but I'll take that over the end of democracy.  The COVID-19 pandemic has killed around 2.7 million so far, and this number could reach 5 million by the time it's over.  However, history has seen worse ( and remember, the population has increased ): Traffi
