WHY ARE WE HERE? WHERE WILL WE GO?

Here is a summary from The New York Times showing that the COVID-19 pandemic in our World is getting worse. More revelations from President Trump’s tax records The latest Times investigation into the president’s tax data   and other records found that more than 200 companies, special-interest groups and foreign governments had patronized Mr. Trump’s properties, funneling in millions of dollars, while reaping benefits from him and his administration. “As president, Mr. Trump built a system of direct presidential influence-peddling unrivaled in modern American politics,” writes an investigative team that has been covering the president’s finances and taxes for almost four years. Here are the investigation’s   key findings   and   a note from our executive editor , Dean Baquet, that includes links to all of the team’s work. You think President Donald Trump has been evasive about his true health condition?  From TNYT : In Britain,   Prime Minister Boris Johnson has yet to shake off questi

On this glorious Sunday, let me start with something sent by my major provider, a bonus question given by a chemistry professor.  It does not matter whether this story actually occurred or not, for this would be consistent with most religious texts. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law ( gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed ) or some variant.   One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a

Financial Times provides frequently updated electoral college information on Biden vs Trump.  Ignore all the hype you will hear.  Go to this site for the true data. Here is an interesting graphic by The New York Times : Donald Trump actually leads Joe Biden in the age category from late forties to mid sixties, then also high seventies to low eighties.  Interesting.  Further: But winning only a couple of slices of the country’s age spectrum isn’t enough to win a presidential election. The CNN and NBC polls both showed Trump trailing by double digits nationwide. New polls yesterday showed him losing in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. From Slate : ... he’s on that monoclonal antibody cocktail that we don’t even know the side effects to, because it hasn’t been well studied. Then he’s on the remdesivir, which is really a brand new medication in the context of COVID, which itself can cause alterations to your brain and your behavior. And then add on

My desktop is full of Trump jokes, so today, I'm dumping them on you.  This posting will be presented bass ackward, starting with where The Donald needs to be dumped today, Lake Charles, Louisiana.  It was exactly 50 years ago when I last visited this city.  Well not quite, for a city needs 100,000 residents and Lake Charles then had a population of almost 80,000.  Want to guess what it is today?  Approaching 80,000. Why should Trump be in Lake Charles?  Well, don't presidents visit sites suffering from catastrophic damage?  Sure, almost always it's after it's safe, but if he can so quickly get over COVID-19, a mere Category 2 hurricane should not be a problem for him.  The middle of Hurricane Delta 's eye will actually pass over Lake Arthur, located around 40 miles east of Lake Charles, early this evening. Next, my song #81, and here are the finalists, all popular during my teenage years: Love is a Many Splendored Thing :  The Four Aces The Great Pretender :  The P
