When the Smoke Clears

 At some point between the 7th and 14th of December, I expect the Supreme Court to come out of the office and lay down the direction of this election.

The software glitch business?  The extra ballots that appeared in a couple of states?  The rules made up by non-legislative folks without the authority to make rules?  

I expect all of these to add up and more than four states are disqualified via the Electoral College method from participation.  The actual number of voters for Biden or Trump from the states selected?  It'll be zeroed-out. It won't count in any discussion.

Then from 14 December to 3 January....I expect massive riots across the US during the holiday season.  Washington DC...in effect....will turn into a war-zone.  Most DC employees will be sent to their homes and apartments....to wait until early January, with National Guardsmen brought in to establish order.

A lot of us will sit at our TVs and view the action....asking how this all happened...shocked over the corruption and 3rd-world handling of the voting system. 

The affect on Congress for 2021?  Don't expect much of anything to occur, and some will be fearful of showing up for most of the year.  

2020 House Election Results

 Just something to ponder upon.....all of the House districts in the US....with the 2020 House election.  Yeah....a lot of Red.  The smaller districts....urbanized zones....are more in number.

The Climate is Changing, Why Aren't We?

 I sat and watched this weekend....a protest movement situation, where a sign appeared in the middle of the European protest....asking the question, the climate is changing, why aren't we?

I sat there for a while and pondered upon it.

After I came to six observations:

1.  I use less electricity today, than I did 25 years ago.  Between LED lights, the more developed engineering in the refrigerator and freezer, and the lesser wattage in most all kitchen devices....I'm probably using 30-percent less electricity than what I used in 1995.  

2.  Most all planes that I ride on (at least before Covid)....were the newer type with better engines, and less fuel consumption.

3.  The new washer I bought in 2019?  It uses roughly three-quarters the power that I consumed with the older washer (10 years old).

4.  This being the wonderful Covid-year that it is.....I've marginally ridden the local bus no more ten times for all of 2020.

5.  The new 2019 Audi we bought?  Terrific fuel consumption numbers.

6.  The new 2019 gas heating system installed into the house?  Based on the salesman's numbers...between regular water heating and the winter-heat....it's doing the same job, with roughly 20-percent less consumption over the old heating system.

The problem here....these signs with the stupid environmental statements....are drawn mostly by 15-to-20 year old 'kids', and they don't recognize the various solutions that people are adapting.  

In their mind, there needs to be hour-by-hour changes, and they have a marginal view of human history, or our change-cycle. 

Observations

 1.  New book by former President Obama coming out.....768 pages.  

Yeah, it is a bit excessive, and probably would take you six to eight weeks of reading to wrap it up.  So, one piece in the book being discussed....he admits that for most of the Presidency.....he was still smoking a minimum of eight cigarettes' daily.  It's curious....the news media never saw this or had a photographer in the right place to take a picture?  

2.  There's this mob-guy (from Philly), who has stated that he's prepared to give evidence over manufactured ballots in the 2020 election.  Number?  300,000.  The deal?  $10 per ballot.  They were manufactured over a 3-day period, and dumped into the system.

Reliability?  Hard to say.  Evidence?  So far, nothing.  It appears that the blank ballots that his team had....had one marking for President, and that was it....no other candidates were selected.  Where were they delivered?  Unknown, so far.  

Why come out now, after getting the $3-million (I assume in cash)?  This is not explained, and it's the weak part of the story.

3.  From Sixty Minutes last night....former President Obama is interviewed, and the question comes up....Joe Biden got tons more votes than Obama....what did Obama think about this?

The answer given....has no relationship to the question.  He just stepped across and avoided the question entirely.  He has to be a bit disgruntled over that part of the story.
