There is absolutely no chance of the Electoral College being abolished in my lifetime. Sadly, I have to accept this. The threat to the White majority in most states prevents any local interest in allowing such a Constitutional Amendment being proposed. It doesn’t stand a chance. Why, you ask?
Out here in the West, in the dry climate (although baking in the sun), there are multiple graveyards for planes long retired from commercial use as well as mothballed planes ready to re-enter service for the military should the need (regrettably) return in case of war.
Seventeen years ago, President Bush stood on Goree Island off the coast of Senegal and talked about slavery: “For hundreds of years on this island, peoples of different continents met in fear and cruelty.
The last time science made a leap forward with our understanding of incredibly small objects it ended with Hiroshima and Nagasaki — not to mention either the nuclear Cold War, which lasted almost a half-century and the nuclear proliferation that continues to this day.
Whatever happens in November, America will be like a huge lumbering oil tanker, like the Exxon Valdez, needing to or deliberately changing direction, needing to make a course change as fast as possible to fit the needs of the election results.
Think the early 1950s… things are in development in secret airbases that you will only get to see 10 years from now — but that does not mean they aren’t already there, ready to be deployed and — in every event — years ahead of what you and the world think we’re building.
What, exactly, is the national debt?

The Space Development Agency (SDA), with help from the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), will soon launch a batch of 40 interlinked satellites that will form a net of protection over the USA (at least).
For hundreds of years, the open ocean has been the mainstay of military superiority. With massive warships and flotillas, distant countries can roam the planet exerting pressure, security and offence seemingly at will. The U.S. has 11 aircraft carriers, more than the number and capability of all the other nations combined.
When you go into the military on a volunteer basis, you go to “boot camp,” where they assess your fitness and capability. The aim of the modern military — any branch — is to be efficient with their responsibility to defend America against foreign foes.
