I gotta admit

I haven't been invested in this election cycle at all, certainly nothing at all like 2020. This time around, I've maintained a curmudgeonly detachment, and so, for the most part, have the sync fairies. Still, I've got to admit, despite everything . . .

Feels good, man.


Maybe part of it is being belatedly vindicated for what I wrote in 2021:

My absolute confidence in this has recently been confirmed yet again in as unambiguous a manner as I could have asked for. Yes, I know no one else believes that. Yes, I know it seems utterly impossible at this point. Nevertheless, it is true. Persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but Donald J. Trump will serve his second term.

You don't see it? Well, why should that surprise you? You're not supposed to see the future.

Still, I caution everyone not to get their hopes up and not to give in to cheap this-worldly optimism. Remember the first rule of politics: They never keep their promises.

You got me with the meme of Bono. Coffee all over my keyboard.

It is indeed a huge relief that Trump won. It's not so much that everything will be great now, as that we have averted total cultural discatastrophe.

As an American in a "blue" county, I saw the same in general. Very few "Trump" signs compared to 2020, but election day there was a much longer line of blue-collar males than I witnessed in 2020.

I think Trump supporters respond to the anti-Trump violence by simply not publicizing their views. The left didn't really care about Kamala (or whoever) at all, they just really hated Trump.

The best I can guess at is more like a "quiet rage", sort of unhappiness and turnout. I don't think people really believed Trump would win or that he is a savior or any such thing, or that there wouldn't be a massive stolen fraud again - but two assassination attempts, being belittled nonstop, mocked, etc. people are disgusted and want to express it a non-violent outlet.

I wonder when the media city riots will start again, or if the incumbents will try to initiate WW3 before handing over the office.

I find myself thoroughly relieved. I'm far more excited about RFK, Tulsi, Musk, Vance, Vivek supposedly being on his team than I am about Trump himself. I'm also cautiously optimistic that two assassination attempts have maybe blunted the man's ego enough that he will let capable people do what he originally claimed: drain the swamp. But probably his ego will win the day and crafty deep state folks will flatter him once again into the same blunders from his first presidency.

Regardless, I am happy to take my chances w Trump than that truly awful combo of Harris-Walz. My god, what a cluster that would have been!

William,
Part 1

The play is not over yet, Mrs. Lincoln.

" If something happens in politics you can bet it was planned that way'.
--- FDR

The Eagle has Landed..

We (humanity )live in unprecedented times and it's only just begun.

Read Strauss and Howe's Fourth Turning
and research Pluto in Aquarius. Do note Pluto went into Aquarius last year.
We are shifting ages. From the Industrial Age to the Silicon Age
and metaphysically from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius.

And some may say: I don't believe in all that 'astrology metaphysical stuff".
And I would respond : It doesn't matter whether you
believe in all that stuff or not.
The Eights and 11's believe in it and truth be told, whether we like it
understand it, ignore it, believe it or not, in this duality dimension,
the 8's and 11' are at the helm of this ship.
And for that reason only, and IMO
it behooves us to at least be aware of the 8's and 11's
playbook.

Copy and paste: ( link below )

"Pluto in Aquarius represents a transformation, upheaval,
and revolution in technology, innovation, and societal structures
. As the planet of profound transformation,
Pluto’s energy helps to bring about profound changes,
while Aquarius’ focus on intellect,
social progress, and humanitarianism encourages
new ways of thinking and collaboration."

There was a reason why Trump 'went' off the rails in the last
months and weeks as far as the recent 'stunts' frying fries with Ronald McDonald, remarks about Arnold Palmer's genitalia, recent remarks
about his (Trump's): pretty White skin.

Ask yourself William,
does everything that has happened in the last few decades
especially where it concerns politics and the US Presidency
make sense to you?

IMHO, Kamala Harris was shoved on the world stage for one reason and
one reason only. She is America's Rubedo.
Cackles (Kamala ) (symbolically) was selected at this time
in history to be symbolic of The Red Horse of the Horsemen.
Didn't Cackles toothy 'neigh' laughter look like a horse to you?
It does to me.

Kamala wearing her pearls and NovaH1 earrings.
Check out Kamala's SNL (Saturday Night Live) stunt this
past weekend.
The actress who 'plays' Kamala on SNL is Maya Rudolph.
Maya is Biracial, her mother was Minnie Ripperton a singer in the disco era
of the 1970's. Minnie Ripperton's biggest hit being "Lovin' You.'

Part 2

Check out the meaning of the word Maya,
copy and paste from wiki:
"In the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy, māyā, "appearance"
, is "the powerful force that creates the cosmic illusion that
the phenomenal world is real"
~~~~~~~~~
Recall my many comments about the illusion of this duality dimension.
And speaking of duality, in the SNL clip do you really think this
was just a funny skit between twin sistas?
Listen to the dialogue between the "sistas", including
pointing out Kamala's toothy cackles.

In the skit, isn't it interesting that Maya says : "take my Palmala.

Who is connected to the palm in Roman Mythology?
All Rhodes lead to Home, Om and Rome.

copy and paste:
"Nike alone was winged. She sometimes appears carrying a palm branch,
wreath, or Hermes’ staff as the messenger of victory.
Nike is also portrayed erecting a trophy or, frequently, hovering with
****outspread wings**** over the victor in a competition, for her functions
referred to *****success not only in war*** but in all undertakings."
~~~~~~~
As I'm sure you know, Deborah in the Bible is also
connected to the Palm tree(see link)

I 'little star'ed' the reference to Nike 's outspread wings"
and the wording 'success not only in war' for a reason.
Recall my recent The Eagle has Landed' dream and the large
wingspan of the eagle.
Recall I mentioned the eagle's silvery blue underbelly.
Look at the 'sista's color of their pant suits.

Twin sista's wearing pearls, pears being symbolic
of the moon and water and the female.
Pearls also 'shine'.
Recall my recent comments about The Shinning.

Also check this out: (note my 'little stars')
"In ancient Vedic texts, the pearl is born of the Earth's waters
and the heaven's powers, ****fertilized by a flash of lightning.****
It's considered to be the daughter of the Moon.
In Western cultures, the pearl has astrological associations
with the planet Venus.
Like pearls, the goddess of love came from the sea
