Electoral College Failure

Electoral College Failure

Comments 0 Comment

“Make America Great Again” is a very clever scheme because it portrays Trump trying to work for the betterment of the United States.  But, as it turns out. It’s real purpose is to make Trump appear great.  And, how do we measure how great or not is the United States?  Has Trump improved the country? If so.  How?  Compared to which prior president?

Trump’s purpose in life is to fulfill and enhance his own selfish work efforts and his own perceived personal value.

Trump is allegedly a self centered narcissist.  Allegedly, he is known to be a lier.

He has already proven to be a criminal facing numerous criminal court cases.

One of the most surprising events that propelled Donald Trump down our future was making him president of the United States, a surprising incredible feat.  This single result has cemented him into our lives way more than if he never became president.

Trump won the 2016 presidential election as the Republican nominee against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton while losing the popular vote. 

POPULAR VOTE TOTALS: 

  Hillary Clinton vote totals:  65,853,625 votes (48.0%)

  Donald Trump vote totals:  62,985,106 votes (45.9%)

Hillary Clinton WON! 

Except for the the flawed somewhat corrupt Electoral College which made the final decision to give the presidency to Trump.

Electoral College VOTE TOTALS:

  Hillary Clinton vote totals:  232

  Donald Trump vote totals:  306

He won for a number of minor if not flawed reasons:

– He was running against a women. There has never been a woman president in the United States.  Sexist bias may have been a factor.

–  African-Americans did not turn out for Hillary as strongly as they did for Obama.

–  Clinton made a big mistakes with this group — calling half of Trump supporters “deplorables”.

–  7 Reasons Donald Trump Won The Presidential Election

    • The Electoral College favors battle ground states by giving them more importance. 

Each state gets as many electors as it has members of Congress (House and Senate). Including Washington, D.C.’s three electors.

Each state’s political parties choose their own slate of potential electors.

The Constitution does not require electors to vote for the candidate chosen by their state’s popular vote which should be a crime.

As it stood in this election, the somewhat low IQ battle ground states voted Republican. 

States such as California, overwhelmingly voted for Hillary Clinton.  This method is contrived to be unfair because the person with the most votes should win but does not become president until the Electoral College says so.  Hillary Clinton received the most votes, thus making a mockery out of the US Electoral System.  She won!  Not Trump!  We now have a former president that is an alleged criminal.

Vacuum Cleaner Allegedly Caused Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.

Vacuum Cleaner Allegedly Caused Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.

Comments 0 Comment

I needed a new vacuum cleaner that would run on battery power.  I was getting really annoyed having to plug in my AC vacuum cleaner because it wasted a lot of time for these reasons:

  1.  The AC cord was way too short for my liking.  I had to take time to unplug, find the next outlet and replug.
  2.  The AC vacuum cleaner was large and heavy which increased time using it because it had to be carried up and down stairs.
  3.  This large vacuum cleaner failed to move quickly into different directions.

A battery powered vacuum cleaner is way faster to use for these reasons:

  1. You just pick it up from it’s charge station and use it.
  2. It is lighter weight.
  3. It maneuvers way easier and can be turned in new directions way more easily than the larger AC powered units.  But this feature turned out to cause my carpel tunnel syndrome.
  4. I found that using my AC motor vacuum cleaner raised the temperature one degree in the house due to the hot exhaust from the motor.  The battery powered vacuum runs cooler.

The principle disadvantage of a battery powered vacuum cleaner is it runs out of power after a while.  I have dedicated the use for this device for early morning quick vacuuming jobs that I have found to occur every morning such as:

  1. Vacuuming the cat poop tray particles that I find have found collecting outside the cat poop bin.
  2. Vacuum particles on the floor in areas used by family members such as kitchen floor, passage ways, etc.

I just love my vacuum cleaner’s headlights that illuminate every dust and dirt particle on the floor.  The longer you use this vacuum cleaner with the headlights, you begin to remember areas of the floors that need vacuuming every day.  I have even noticed a few areas of the floor that show small dust balls that seem to grow after a few days that I fail to vacuum that particular location.

After four months of casual research, I decided upon buying a TINECO PURE ONE S15/PET. (see image to the right).  This model offers you a few configurations.  I just loved the option of dropping the vacuum cleaner into a floor stand.  Once the unit is put into the floor stand, it will self charge the battery if plugged into an AC wall power source.

I am guessing that my carpel tunnel syndrome did not develop for at least three or four months of using this vacuum cleaner.  I attribute this injury to the following features of using this type vacuum cleaner:

  1. The main vacuum components such as motor, battery, control head, and the container for the items sucked up you are holding in one of your hands.  The floor ac vacuum cleaner has all the heavy components rolling on the floor.  So with this new type vacuum cleaner, you are holding most of the machine weight in your hand.
  2. This type of vacuum cleaner gives the user a way better and easier ability to turn the floor suction part.  It is my opinion that twisting one’s wrist back and forth really is a significant factor for creating carpel tunnel syndrome.

I have Kaiser Medical and I am currently being treated for this injury.   

Now that I believe that my new vacuum cleaner has caused my carpel tunnel syndrome, I still am using the unit but with my left hand.  This probably sounds rather stupid but, I just love this Tineco vacuum cleaner.

NOTE.  There are a few battery operated vacuum cleaners that work similar.  Here is a partial list:

  • Dyson
  • Shark
  • Moosoo

 

Supporting evidence:

 

Negative points to consider using this vacuum cleaner:

We have two cats and a large cat poop tray which is their bathroom.  The tray is filled with a white colored small sand like particles that we have to use a special tool to scoop out the cat poop at least once a day.  The cats walk into the poop tray to do their stuff and thus their fir coats pick up some of the white sand.  The cats step out of the tray and this results in some of this white sand being deposited on our floor.  There is not a lot of white sand.  It is just scattered here and there.  This vacuum cleaner can properly pick up this sand.  The vacuum suction is not powerful enough, it seems, to deposit the sand into the main storage container.  The sand just sits within the head of the cleaner.  If I lift the vacuum cleaner head off the floor or hit the head of the cleaner on some object, the sand spills out on the floor.  Summary:  This vacuum cleaner is good for vacuuming rugs and fabric furniture.  It is unacceptable cleaning floors with any small particles.

United States Radio Podcasts Reveals Alleged Instances Of Donald Trump May Have Acted As A Spy And Agent For Russia.

United States Radio Podcasts Reveals Alleged Instances Of Donald Trump May Have Acted As A Spy And Agent For Russia.

Comments 0 Comment

June 18, 2023 the audio blog Background Briefing hosted by Ian Masters had Thomas Carl Hartmann , as a guest speaker, revealed that Donald Trump may have been working for the Russian government some of the time with some very bad results.  Both men listed example after example of alleged collusion with Putin and possibly with SVR RF and Trump.  

There are TWO sources for this rather shocking information:

#1). The radio show of June 18, 2023 revealed “Why Did Trump Steal Classified Documents? Maybe Because Putin Told Him To.”

#2). Thomas Hartman wrote “How Much Damage has the Trump-Putin Collusion Inflicted on America?”

Possible and probable outcomes from these alleged past reported scandalous events:

  • Hillary Clinton lost being president in the 2016 presidential election of the United States allegedly from one of Russia & Trump tricks.  She actually had a much higher popular vote count but the flawed electoral college gave the win to Trump.  If the Russia trick was not played upon her, she most definitely would have won.
  • The FBI is the lead agency for exposing, preventing, and investigating intelligence activities, including espionage, in the U.S.  It appears from the information revealed that they are close to holding Trump accountable with the current trial headed with special counsel, Jack Smith.   But, the GOP appears to be protecting Trump for Russia.

  • Much of the information. presented in the blog post has been known so why does it appear that the national press has failed to “see” the apparent links between Donald Trump and Soviet (agent) individuals.
  • It is revealed from within the two blog and website sources listed above that people working for the betterment of this planet may have been killed because they may have been identified as US friendly agents.

Solving Problem Adding A Topper To An Existing Bed.

Solving Problem Adding A Topper To An Existing Bed.

Comments 0 Comment

I had to travel to my sister’s mobile home residence while she was away on a long vacation.  I went to her place on weekends so that I could take care of her yard plants surrounding her mobile home.  I decided to stay over night each weekend.  Her home had two bedrooms and I decided not to use her bed but the second bedroom.  Problem for me was that the bed in that second bedroom was not that comfortable to sleep on.  I went into town the very next day and found a store that sold mattress toppers.   A topper is typically a short thickness, soft padding the same dimension as the bed that it will be placed upon.  The topper I chose was 3 inches in thickness of foam.  The store, quite conveniently, also offered a slip on cover for the topper for me to buy.  This topper cover completely encased the foam except at the bottom where there is a large opening that has elastic edging to keep the cover tight across the foam.  The whole unit was easily rolled up so I could drive it back to my sister’s home. 

I faced a new problem.  The topper now made the bed taller and that bed mattress cover, a large bed sheet really needed to be tucked in while pressing down on the topper so to minimize how much of the mattress cover was needed.

After my sister arrived back from her vacation, I returned home but I took the topper with me.  At my house, my bed mattress is quite tall and adding a topper really made it quite high.

 

Note that measuring the regular mattress with the topper resting on top shows that the side height is about 14 inches.

 

 

My mattress measurements.

  • Mattress = 11 inches. (The industry size of standard mattress depth is 7 inches.)
  • Topper = 3 inches
  • TOTAL. = 14 inches.  It is recommended that you measure the total side mattress dimension so you buy a good bottom fitted sheet.  We are seeing fitted sheet side height up to 20 inches for some products.

When buying bed sheets look to make sure that the bottom fitted sheet side dimensions will not only cover the mattress sides but also be longer so that the elastic on that sheet is well under the bottom of the mattress.  For example, if your mattress is 11 inches high, buy a side dimension larger so the fitted sheet with it’s elastic ends lays well under the mattress.

So, I then had to go shopping for a bottom bed sheet that would fit tight over and around these two mattresses.  My first bed sheets purchase did not work after a purchase from a very good national chain store.   I checked around and found a pretty good solution at the  Sit ‘n Sleep store.  The solution was that one of their products, DreamFit has very wide elastic bands at each corner of the bottom sheet and these bands are attached far enough away from the corner of the sheet that it really grips the mattress. (see image below).

 

.

Note the wide corner strap that definitely holds the bottom sheet in place.
Note the wide corner strap that definitely holds the bottom sheet in place.

 

In the image below I took a picture of the Sit & Sleep, very small store demo exhibit, that explains how the bottom DreamFit sheet fits remarkably well on to most mattresses. 

 

 

Problem that I faced is that my total mattress height was about 14 inches.  The DreamFit bottom sheet still worked because of the very wide corner elastic bands.  The elastic that runs around the whole bottom did not help because they landed along the sides of the mattress (see top image).

NOTE:  My daughter recommends these bed sheets.  Eucalyptus sheets can help regulate body temperature, keeping you comfy and cool all night long. Plus, they’re hypoallergenic and resistant to bacterial growth, which makes them ideal for sensitive skin.

One Rather Stupid Purchase At JC Penney.

One Rather Stupid Purchase At JC Penney.

Comments 0 Comment

I really like JC Penney store for their bed sheets and I check out their men’s clothing every time I have to go to the nearby Apple Store.  In fact, I had just the day before sent all my immediate men friends and family a tip about a jacket and pants that I though was a terrific deal from JC Penney. 

(Cell phone text message follows)

“I go into the JC PENNY men’s clothing section looking for white long sleeve real light weight shirts (to avoid skin cancer and be cool). Today I found XERSION Tricot white light weight jacket and Track pants for total price $35.54!  INCREDIBLE PRICE! And the jacket has a full front zipper and internal pockets!”

But, June 4, 2023, I had what I consider a bad experience.  I purchased Perry Ellis Men’s Midnight EDT Spray 3.4 oz for $75.   When I got home, out of curiosity, I checked how much that spray would cost if I ordered it from the Internet.  The Amazon cost was $32.41.  I had paid $42.59 more at JC Penney!  Yikes!

When I checked my plastic bag, which the clerk put the product and receipt in, I noticed an advertisement that if I made my purchase during Father’s Day sale, a week from today, I would receive my choice of 4 free items.

I tried for over half an hour to talk to a JC Penney customer service person about the purchase so I could share my negative view I made today of my purchase, but I was on hold for such a long time that I tried another option.  I looked for an e-mail but only a Tweet account showed.  I tried that option but I had to go through such a ridiculous amount of security steps which ended not working.  So, I now have a new option for JC Penney that is diminished somewhat.   Contacting JC Penney appears to me to be way too difficult which is rather stupid, in my opinion.  There should be a simple e-mail option and fast phone service. 

I now have share with you, my mistake that I should have examined before I made my purchase.   Check Internet pricing.

Consider Running For A Republican Party Office.

Consider Running For A Republican Party Office.

Comments 0 Comment

Please contemplate running for a Republican Party office.  Listed next are some requirements and beliefs that our future Republican Party candidates should ponder and see if you agree with some of these party beliefs and ideals:

You should understand that Fascism is a way better form of government than Democracy.  You should not reveal that this is your intent.  You only need to impose it’s mission.   Democracy is so messy to administer while Fascism is singular in purpose and simple to install and enforce upon the public.  Also, a politician who portrays himself of her self as an authoritarian, often times comes across as being a decisive and powerful person.  The American public generally want strong leadership and will look past the actions you take if they can be seen as working for what is best for the ruling class and the party.    The modern Republican party is hurtling towards fascism.

As a fascist, you can believe that women should not have the right to an abortion, that women are not rulers of their bodies but men are.  You can outlaw abortions if you are a Republican.   Abortion was a 50/50 issue. Now, it’s Republican quicksand.

As a racist, you can ban books.  The rising Republican movement to defund public libraries.

If you agree that supporting the poor and vulnerable is a waste of money, then you are for being a Republican.

3 myths about the poor that Republicans are using to support slashing US safety net

You believe that no person can or should practice homosexual activities and beliefs.  You believe that every person was born heterosexual.  This is a wonderful way to exercise power because the homosexual community is very small and lacks power to oppose you.   Texas GOP platform embraces far-right and anti-gay rhetoric.

You agree that global warming is a hoax perpetrated by Democrats to thwart the business of mining, gas exploration and extraction.  The businesses of extraction can support Republican politicians financially to a significant level.   Extraction Oil Gas Gave 10 Million To Political Causes.

You believe that the NRA is not to blame in any way for gun violence in the United States and anyone should be able to buy a gun with no age restriction.  The NRA is also a significant political payment supporter.  How Much Influence Does The NRA Have Over Politicians?

You support and believe that the IRS should not be allow to inspect the super rich tax forms with any more care and inspection than a homeless persons.   The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax.

You do not need to have a very high intelligence quotient to be a Republican, in fact, it really helps you get elected by being seen as simple.   Who’s Smarter? Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

When you declare and list your prior history, you are allowed to lie about any and every aspect, every item.  It has been proven from prior history that pandering to the embellishment can really help your total vote numbers even when based on lies.   Study: PolitiFact says Republicans lie more.

 

But, there are some hidden problems for the fascist Republicans:
