President Trump, again?
Donald Trump will inevitably become the GOP nominee and most likely will win the 2024 election! So, let us correctly assess his first-term and then look ahead.
Again, it is Trump!
Just like in 2016, Donald Trump may well surprise many to win the 2024 election. Two projections:
- Trump will be the GOP nominee, thanks to MAGA.
- Trump will defeat President Biden in November, thanks to the Independents, most of whom would choose a pathological liar over a war hawk as the lesser of two evils.
America is a plutocracy!
America is deeply in trouble at home (Voters don’t want a Trump-Biden rematch in 2024. So how come they are still the frontrunners?) and abroad (US Foreign Policy Is a Scam Built on Corruption).
Why is that, profoundly?
America was founded by/of/for the rich, with money behind everything, from politics to justice, and remains so today. It is collapsing, finally!
In short, America is a plutocracy, finally collapsing!
Brian Ames: A gentleman competitor with big dance dreams
It is almost accidental that Brian is an accomplished Bronze-level dancer today. Seven years ago, he was barely aware of this beautiful art form. His dreams then are not his dreams today. Dancesport has taken a place in the core of his personal and professional life, which means it is at the core of his hopes and dreams.
Think, America!
What is wrong with the cover image, calling for MATA – Make America Think Again? Why did I cross out the word “again”?
MATA is a courageous call. But I argue that America has never been able to think properly; thus, there is no need for the word “again”! More precisely, the ruling class thinks and fools around all the time, but most Americans are incapable of critical thinking, thanks to the brainwashing over the past 247 years, and counting.
America vs. China: three videos
In a previous post (Why does America hate China?), I highlighted why America hates China: China is too successful, too quickly! In this post, I provide three long videos to help you further understand the relationship between America and China.
The most efficient amateur male in pro/am ballroom dancing!
My first out-of-town ballroom dance competition was OSB 2019, and I placed 4th (Gentlemen, Open Smooth, age-group C). After that, I started privately claiming that I am America’s most efficient male amateur in pro/am ballroom dancing (age-group C initially and S1 now) based on this simple fact: All the other five finalists had been dancing for many more years than I had. Now, it is time to reveal this claim publicly!
It is democracy, stupid!
In a previous post, I called out, “America: It is democracy, stupid!” In this post, I will make the same call far beyond America …
Dancing Queens & Kings: Call for Participation (6)
My forthcoming book, “Dancing Queens & Kings,” is calling for participation. The only requirement is that you have competed at the USDC or OSB and have an interesting story to tell. Below is the new and final timeline:
- 12/31/2023: 1 page highlighting your compelling story in pro/am ballroom dancing.
- 1/31/2024: 10-page full story.
- 4/30/2024: Book review by Sam Sodano.
- 6/30/2024: Publication at Amazon.
I am looking for 40 stories and will accept up to 50 submissions of 1 page (1st come, 1st accepted). After your 1 page is accepted, your 10-page is almost guaranteed to be included in the book, unless it is so poorly written that it is totally unsalvageable.
