THE BLUE EVOLUTION

Whoops, forgot to post my posting of yesterday.  To access it, click on WHAT HAPPENED TODAY IN HISTORY? Now on to my my posting of today, and note my quest for a Blue Revolution has been relegated to the Blue Evolution, for nothing much is happening today.  I blame most myself.  Blue Revolution Hawaii has not found that Poseidon-like imaginative billionaire to fund the effort, and I have largely given up, now instead off on another global adventure. Thought I'd at least report on a minimal effort being initiated by  Hatch Blue .  In collaboration with the University of Hawaii and the National Science Foundation, you are invited to send in an application to have an all-expenses-paid ideation and implementation program at HOST Park on the Big Island and Entrepreneur's Sandbox on Oahu for Blue Venture Builder Hawaii 2024.  DEADLINE:  October 1, 2024, 11:59PM.

On to the subject of the day:   KAMALA HARRIS WILL PREVAIL OVER DONALD TRUMP ON NOVEMBER 5 .  That is not my prediction, but that of Allan Lichtman, a historian renowned for accurately predicting 9 of the 10 most recent presidential elections.   This video actually says Lichtman's record is 10 for 10 . Who is Alan Lichtman? Born in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish parents in 1947.  So he is 77 years old. PhD from Harvard. Is a Democrat. Has taught at American University in DC since 1973. In the early 1980s, while a visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology, had a 17-episode stint on the game show Tic Tac Dough, and won $100,000. Ran for the U.S. Senate in 2006 from Maryland.  Came in 6th in t
