We tend to think of one person, Joe Biden, when we consider the current presidential administration, but need to keep in mind that there approximately 1500 people in various positions who are working hard to build the base of jobs, strengthen the economy, and restore honesty and fairness to government.
If Trump is re-elected, these 1500 people will be replaced by 1500 folks with the same character as the former president, i.e., criminal liars.
There is a reason that 40 of Trump’s 44 top aids refuse to support him in November.

Trump from New Zealand’s Perspective
There’s no question that something has gone incredibly wrong with the United States, and, as shown at left, you don’t have to be an American to see that.
The question is what to do about it. Trump is not a state representative from South Dakota, nor is he the mayor of Houston. He’s the U.S. President, and the majority of Congress do anything he asks as required not to earn his vengeance.

How Hurricane Melissa Underwent ‘Rapid Intensification’
The article here describes a phenomenon that can occur to hurricanes: their wind-speed grows rapidly.
Hurricane Melissa underwent what meteorologists call “rapid intensification,” exploding from a 70-mph tropical storm Saturday morning Oct. 25 to a Category 4 hurricane with 140 mph winds by 5 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 26. It has since reached Category 5 strength, with winds of 175 mph.
Rapid intensification is a process in which a storm undergoes accelerated growth: The phenomenon is typically defined to be a tropical cyclone (whether a tropical storm or hurricane) intensifying by at least 35 mph in a 24-hour period.
Questions (that our kids should be able to answer from their science classes):
#1 How is this intensification powered? Faster winds have more energy than slower winds, so where does this energy come from?
Answer: It’s by unusually warm sea water — in this case, in the Caribbean Sea.
#2: OK, but what provides the energy that warms the water?
Answer: The sun. What we’re experiencing right now on Earth is called “global warming,” meaning that our planet’s atmosphere is trapping more of the sun’s radiant energy, which is heating up our atmosphere, as well as our oceans.
My wife and I have a friend in Kingston, Jamaica’s largest city, which is in Melissa’s crosshairs. We’re rooting for you, Richard.

Did Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt Say “America Is for White People?”
- Characterizing America as primarily the homeland for “Europeans who settled America and conquered,” rather than a nation based on ideals of equality and freedom.
- Stating that America “belongs to us and only us,” in remarks criticized for their exclusivity.
- Rewriting history to justify the dominance of white, purportedly Christian men, while diminishing the experiences of enslaved people and Native Americans.
