Biden gets lucky!

Biden just got lucky. He got Covid once again! That's the third time-- which increases his chances “of Long Covid a.k.a. "post-viral syndrome"—which in the elderly can accelerate mental decline, as well as increase the possibility of various medical issues leading to incapacity.

For the record, I haven't had Covid. And my mental decline began when I was six and went to elementary school.

But Biden?…..This is the guy who claimed he defeated Covid!

Covid is not good for Biden physically but it provides him with an easy out from running against and losing to Donald Trump.

It’s lucky for him because the Democratic Party no longer wants him. The Donors— who represent America's real owners— don't want him and in the USA—the best democracy that money can buy— that's important!

However, it follows that if his medical condition indicates incapacity that his precludes remaining in office as president . He would need to step down immediately which means Kamala Harris becomes president and run in the coming election.. But her poll numbers are not any better than Biden's – and she will lose.

If Biden represents one set of Democratic Party delusions; Harris represents another.

Mind you— you should never trust the polls. They are a kind of media thing — and like other forms of media distort as much as they reveal When I predicted Trump’s win in 2016 — that was despite the polls.

That said, the obvious disarray in the Democratic Party— if not derangement is a problem for Democrats running for the House of Representatives and for the Senate in 2024.

How do they distance themselves from the DNP—and establish their independence— with independent ” voters —without offending the all-powerful Donors who determine the parameters of policy? How do they promise ,meaningful change?

The Dems have the NYT and WaPo. And eye candy at CNN. Nobody really reads the NYT and WaPo. And CNN? A touch more respectable than Pornhub although less informative.

Trump, however, has Tucker Carlson and Hulk Hogan on his side.

It's hard to predict what Trump will do once he gets into office .

Trump says he wants to end America's wars.

But the US military-industrial complex has profited immensely from the war in Ukraine and Israel's genocide in the Middle East —not to mention military buildup in the Asia-Pacific. Given that the US’s only remaining real manufacturing industry just turns out weapons, the downturn in military action globally means a downturn in profits.

What Trump probably means by “stopping wars” is just stopping funding the Ukraine's war against Russia— letting Russia take all of Ukraine — with new forward defensive positions and intermediate range nuclear weapons in place on the Polish border. That could have two results.

It could encourage public desire for peace in Europe but European governments do not represent the public but instead elites that depend upon American provenance and take margins on the purchase of weapons or components for weapons they themselves manufacture.

Russia controlling Ukraine will likely mean European states spending more on weaponry— provided by the US and American military—but paid for European taxpayers. It’s a debt trap..

Already Ursula von Leyen is talking about conflict with China— the need to protect Taiwan, for example

So while Ukraine is obviously a lost cause — and the war ” will be resolved with Ukraine capitulating— conflict will continue to increase. The current hot war will give way to a new Cold War.

But this new kind of Cold War leaves America out in the cold with BRICS pioneering a new age of global collaboration and cooperation with the global majority.

Trump may not care — he is ultimately an isolationist.

He wants to turn back the clock and revive revive the US manufacturing industry-- semiconductors, consumer appliances, whatever-- the stuff that the US used to make. But he cannot compete with China-- so will try the protectionist route—tariffs — now that sanctions have shown that they stimulate local industrial autonomy and development rather than inhibit it.

Tariffs invite retaliation, which increase costs in the US and decreases profits.

There are simply too many things that US needs to import if it seeks industrial development.

There are other problems, too — dollar is too strong to foster exports. And the weakness of other currencies devalues the effect of tariffs as well.

In addition, with the growth of BRICS—and a multipolar global market the US will simply find itself locked out. Does Trump understand this — or care?

The US could become a national backwater. And some states in the union will decide they are better off as independent nations.

The 1% who own the country’s assets don't really care about the nation— a lot of them don't even spend a lot of time in the United States ! What will they do?

Move to New Zealand?

On the other hand. Trump may surprise us. Nothing is certain.

We won't know until next year

A Rat in Your Life?

Rats have a bad rep.

Rats are intelligent, clean, sociable, affectionate and trainable. And certainly less likely to bite than, say, hamsters. They even get along with cats (under the right circumstances).

The downside? Their short lifespans - usually about two years.
