THE AMERICANS IN 2024...

AMERICANS DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS... 
By Bernard Bujold- The presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, demonstrated that Americans are more than ever divided into two distinct groups. 
Trump supporters see Donald as the fiery politician they adore, while Harris supporters see Kamala as the vision of what the USA should be according to them. In the end, however, the undecideds will decide the outcome on November 5, and according to post-debate polls, these undecideds are still no more convinced of one candidate than the other...

THE 2024 DEBATE

THE 2024 DEBATE - 
By Bernard Bujold -
Two candidates for the title of champion! On the left corner is Donald Trump, a former president well-versed in the art of debate. On the right, Joe Biden's vice president, Kamala Harris. If we were in a sports competition, the former president would be standing at 6.3 feet tall and the vice president at 5.4 feet... The coveted trophy is the occupancy of the White House for the next four years.

ELEVATOR TO INFINITY...

ELEVATOR TO INFINITY... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
I'm not usually afraid of the unexpected in life, but I do hate not having a way out... 
This is the situation I experienced the day after Labor Day when I got stuck in a broken-down elevator. 
The first five minutes are entertaining in a way, but after half an hour it becomes less enjoyable, especially if the building employee is shouting at you from behind the door that he can't open it in any way, and the ceiling loudspeaker is blaring instructions to operate the built-in telephone while you have no access to the famous locked phone. After 30 minutes locked in, you think: “This is how I'm going to die...”. It's silly to think that, but that's what I thought! The fact remains that if I'd had a heart attack and no way of getting out, it could have been a very dramatic event! 
Fortunately, I'm in good physical shape! The good news is that I got out alive, thanks to the firefighters, 45 minutes later... 
But in conclusion, I can say that I prefer the hammock to the elevator... 
Thanks to the firefighters and happy end of summer 2024!

THE TURTLE AND THE RABBIT

 


THE TURTLE AND THE RABBIT... 
By Bernard Bujold -
The American presidential campaign of 2024 is reminiscent of that of 2016, and is also reminiscent of Lafontaine's fable “The Hare and the Tortoise”... 
In the 2016 US presidential election, Hillary Clinton was comfortably leading the polls, and the Democrats had even prepared the victory party in a grand New York hotel. 
Donald Trump, however, had been strategic and won with the highest number of electoral votes, despite a popular vote in Hillary's favor. 
In 2020, Joe Biden narrowly won the election because of the COVID crisis, which traumatized the whole world and created a kind of fear of the Trump character. 
In 2024, neither candidate dominates the campaign, except that observers recognize that Trump has a detailed policy agenda, unlike Harris, who occupies the “novelty” chair. Kamala's popularity is not due to her qualities but to the event of Joe Biden's departure. 
If we compare Kamala with Hillary in 2016. Clinton had a much better chance of winning thanks to her achievements in presidential politics, in addition to the Clinton name. 
The question that now remains is: Will Kamala Harris be able to make it to November 5 on the wave of the Biden event? 
It's a race against time, and all bets are on.. 
Rabbit versus turtle! 
To be continued!

META FACEBOOK AND DONALD TRUMP -

META FACEBOOK AND DONALD TRUMP- 
By Bernard Bujold -
Mark Zuckerberg, META-FACEBOOK's big boss, has officially admitted that his company caved in 2020 to pressure from Joe Biden's administration by deleting information that would have favored Donald Trump, including the origin of Hunter Biden's famous computer, the story of which had nothing to do with Russia, as the Biden team claimed. 
Political observers consider this statement by Zuckerberg to be an electoral gift to Donald Trump for next November.
