 I look forward to reading and listening to reactions to yesterday’s election result.

The Trump era is not over.  Long live Trump!

 My son is happy Trump won though he really can’t articulate reasons why.  Perhaps, Trump just seemed cooler than Kamala.

Who’ll be forever disgraced by Trump’s victory?  Such a huge list:  Arnold, Tim Walz, CNN, MSNBC, many Hollywood celebrities, many political analysts, anti-racists, climate change activists, Covidians, Neo-Cons, and Globalists, to name but a few.

Is Trump a great man?  He’s on the cusp. He has caused a realigning of political factions, he’s destroyed many professional pols careers, he’s brought together people in a coalition that would have seemed impossible only a year ago, and he has achieved tremendous success in the third field he entered in his career: a triple crown winner.  Still, he’s on the cusp.  He has to make sure his second term is a true success.

I can sort of understand why Trump rubs people the wrong way.  However, you have to be willfully blind or deranged to not look over his gruff ways and see his talents and true decency.

I wonder what the actual vote totals will be.  Will Trump get 80 million votes? Will there be 156 million votes cast? Will the numbers be further proof that 2020 was rigged?  Will Arizona see a 38 percent increase in votes cast as it did in 2030?

I’m glad to hear Ted Cruz won re-election.

How many bitter people will I see in the next few days,

Harris and Walz were horrible candidates.

I can’t understand how calling or comparing Trump to Hitler is intelligent on any level.  To me, it represents a laziness of thought, ignorance, or malicious dishonesty.

 Wow!  Trump has won!  I can believe it!  Many had said he would win big, but they didn’t make me confident enough to make a bold prediction.

I followed the election returns on X.  I watched the Infowars, Blaze, and Newsmaxx feeds.  I also went to the Vivai Frei live feed on Rumble.

My colleagues at school weren’t aware he had won.

There is a Canadian I know in Hangzhou who posted a WeChat moment where he was doubling down on his certainty that Harris was going to win big.  I won’t bother him about it.  (I think he deleted the moment.)

Trump’s victory speech wasn’t so good.  He started telling stories that I had already heard him tell on the Joe Rogan podcast.  Still.  Tears came to my eyes.

 Still crossing my fingers.

I have noticed that Trump supporters who were optimistic are not so now.

I then saw a tweet that said the NYT projected a Trump victory.

So, who knows.

 I got dishes to put away.  They are on the drying rack.

I’ll follow the election results on X.  If the Z man is doing live commentary, I’ll try to watch him,

Bed time.  Tomorrow morning, I’ll be monitoring the election results.

I don’t think the polls have opened.

Why would anyone vote for Kamala Harris?  Are they ignorant, intolerant, not paying attention, stupid or evil?

The banality of evil.  That should be the headline if that woman wins.

I should stop.

Tonight, my son and I had spaghetti and chicken wings. Twas delicious.

4:37 PM View


 Supper time.  Baking chicken wings and cooking spaghetti.

I’m listening to a podcast about what Kameltoe did in California as Attorney General.  Based on what I have heard, it would be folly for her to be president.  Because of her, California is crime infested.  People can do petty shoplifting in stores without worry because of her.  She upheld the idea that grievances of the past can be solved by letting those aggrieved kill their ancestors.  It may well be that a black man raping a white woman is not as bad as a white man raping a black woman to the likes of Kamala.

 Washed dishes left by Tony.

Now, drinking coffee. I’ll eat watermelon and Cheese & Crackers. I’ll save the two slices for Tony.

No point in my ranting about the election. It won’t change anything.

No point in having ranted about the election. It wouldn’t have changed anything.

If anyone is interested though. I hope Trump wins.

If he does or doesn’t, however, the fight between good and evil will continue.  Neither side will shut up or be content.

I listened to the latest Red Scare podcast. I’m glad I’m a Trump supporter thanks to these sophisticated and hip New York immigrant girls.

 This morning, I was awake before the alarm.  The first thing I did was extend my Duolingo streak.

I am listening to an Anne Coultrr podcast.  She warns that the election is 50/50. and not to be as confident as some Trump supporters have been.  At this point, I think I will only feel relief if he wins.  The number of dumb people who detest Trump so much that they would choose Hitler over him is considerable. 

8:23 PM View


 Bedtime.  Tony’s not home yet.

I feel tired these days.  So many things to do,  I look forward to a time when there won’t be.

Less than two days. (to the you know what..)

Tony’s home now.

Monday Lunch time. Got lots of bread in Wuxi. So, sandwich for lunch.

Surprised a colleague by telling him I was hoping for a Trump win.  He said he didn’t care for Harris but..  

I prayed the Rosary this morning.

 Sunrise.  I’m about to head to school.

 I slept deeply last night.  The alarm had to wake me up this morning   But instead of getting out of bed, I pressed the snooze button.  Through the second snooze, I realized I was oversleeping.

This week: mid-term exams and a field trip to Suzhou.

6:49 PM View


 We’re back in JJ.  

I loaded all the food and drinks, my darling wife provided us, in the fridge and freezer.

I just have to get ready for a Monday work day.

My election thought.  On X Twitter, I do see tweets from Harris supporters and Harris.  In one tweet, she said she was a hard worker.  Like, that’s all is needed to be a good president.  Since she is a liberal-progressive, at best, I take her saying she is a hard worker to mean she would be an annoying busy body if she was the president.  Let’s pray she doesn’t,

 Tony’s getting a facial near the outlet mall.  As soon as I finish my poo, I’ll go back to pick him up.

Before we dropped off Tony, we went to a barbecue restaurant at the outlet mall.




The restaurant’s decor featured a lot of mirrors.

 Tony & I are going back to JJ this aft so I am using the 27th floor view for all it’s worth.

Forgot to mentions:

When walking the track this morning, I was in shorts and t-shirt.  Others were wearing winter jackets, sweaters and long pants.  I was very comfortable in my dress; I thought the others were suffering in theirs.

Much has been made of Trump saying he could fire a gun on a crowded street and still have his supporters back him.  It is trotted out after every supposed Trump outrage to show his supporters unsophisticatedly don’t care about Trump’s orange-man-badness.  Again, Trump’s truthiness escapes his critics.  Trump’s supporters are behind him because the political class, as now constituted, offers them no choice but Trump.  Trump’s statement is a condemnation of the people who have done not right for his supporters.

 Hazy morning.

I’ve just got back from the sports field. I walked laps and prayed the rosary.

I just finished today’s AKICDV.  Another rant about why I support Trump.  Interesting, that my video yesterday about Trump got lots of views even though it wasn’t a short.

Here’s proof I did the sports field.





Four corners.

There was a fellow who posted a WeChat moment where he said he was doubling down on his contention that Harris was going to win big.  Most of what he said was deserving of the Trumpian smirk. But he did say one useful thing.  In trying to defend Biden’s garbage comment, hr made a distinction that Trump supporters would happily go along with:  Biden was not referring to Republicans when he talked of garbage, he was talking of Trump supporters.  Trump supporters aren’t Republicans? Hallelujah!  Thank you for confirming what I hope Trump wins in 2024.

 I drove my wife to work.

This morning’s agenda:  make an AKICDV, extend my Duolingo streak, do laps at the nearby track and shower.

 A misty morning.  It’s not raining.

I had some interactions about the U.S. election online.  One fellow said I always liked despots after I told him I wanted Trump to win.  That’s what I get for living in China, I suppose.

Another fellow keeps telling me Dem talking points.  Always easily refuted.

 I drove to Wanda Plaza to pick up my wife from work.

All I can think of is the U.S. election and how I very much hope Trump wins it.

I was also thinking of my upcoming 60th birthday. (December 24th if you care). I have this perverse hope that it isn’t celebrated.  I want to suffer along with the many, many other people whose birthdays are overlooked.

6:12 PM View


 From now on, I’ll open the window and then take a view photo, like I have been recently doing in Jiangyin.

Now, since it is the weekend before the U.S. election, I will expound on why I hope Trump wins, and in particular why I support him.  Trump is one-of-a-kind presence.  A great man in an age of gadgets and mediocrity.  He has succeeded in three fields: New York real estate, media, and in politics.  He is an alpha male leader.  He is a practical man who is non-idealogical which is what a nation needs in a leader.  He is a great judge of human character.  He is a man who is full of curiosity and knowledge of many things.  He is a public spirited man who could have easily avoided a lot of agro if he didn’t enter politics.  Instead, he risked his fortune and his freedom to save his country.  He is a comedic genius.  The butts of his jokes deserve to ribbed and put down a notch.  He understands the common man and possesses the noblesse-oblige that real politicians can only dream of.  He is the amateur who destroyed countless professional politicians.  He is hated by all the bad people.  His very presence causes people to reveal their character and ability to not think critically.  The biggest problem people with Trump Derangement Syndrome have is they can’t appreciate or don’t want to appreciate his greatness.  He has survived assassination attempts and malicious prosecutions.  Policy wise, I support him because he is against the Global American Empire, Clinate Change alarmism, un-fair trade, government regulation, open borders, mass immigration, wokism, stupid people being allowed to have positions, the industrial military complex, and censorship.

 The day so far:

In the afternoon, we went to the Blue Frog.  ‘‘Twas boring.


The burger was undercooked.

This was in the Livat IKEA Mall.  We drove there and back.  Going back, missed a turn.

When we arrived home, I forgot to take a view photo.  I had a hankering to go out.

I left the house and took these photos.



The two photos above are of a field between our apartment and the Yanqiao Metro Station.  Something is going to be built there,


I rode the Line 1 train. Above it was empty and so I was able to take some AKIC Videos.


I rode the train to the Harmony City Mall which isn’t open yet.  So I wasted my time.

So I rode back to the Ivy Park apartment.

Walking from the station to the community. I saw this.


The car on the left didn’t move on a green light.  The car behind it was honking furiously because its driver wanted to make a right turn.  I was mystified as to why the car didn’t move.  After I took the photo, the car made a left turn.  I saw then that from that lane, a car could make a left or right turn.  I wasn’t aware of that and neither was the car behind.  Of course, it would have helped if the car had put on its turn signal!   The fact that a car can do that from that lane is really annoying.  How many times can a car expecting to quickly make a right turn be blocked?

So I should have walked laps here.

 I drove my wife to work.

While taking the photo above, l looked to my left and saw this:


What a great photo!  The cars are lined up to get into the nearby sports center.

Now, back to Trump and why I hope he wins next Wednesday’s election   I have given you an account of how I came to support him.  I have changed my mind about him.  Thanks to the grace of God, I didn’t succumb to TDS,

I will make my case for Trump this way.  I will first tell you what I voting against and then tell you for what I am voting vote.

Politics is mostly a case of voting against.  Most politicians, most political programs and most ideologies cause damage.  So the strongest case for voting Trump is that it is a vote against the Dems and the Neo-cons.  Harris and Walz are beyond doubt the most incompetent pair of candidates to ever be on a major party’s presidential ticket..  Harris is vapid and incapable of saying anything of substance.  Her basic message is Trump is bad and she is about hope and she’s a woman.  That’s it.  She can’t run on her record.  She screwed up the border, Biden’s economic record has been disastrous, and the world is a more dangerous place.  Walz is a putz who was full-on on the Covid overreaction debacle.  The Democrat Party, which I have never supported, is currently run by lunatics. They are so bad now that I have to say in hindsight. they were not so bad, in the day.  Now, they are for Wokeness. boys on girl’s sport teams, tolerance  of petty criminality, tolerance of Neo-cons, government censorship of political speech, gaslighting, malicious prosecution of their political opponents, ignorance of the U.S. constitution, a one party state, practical fascism, destroying the English language, twisting the meaning of words, bigotry against white and working class people, the politics of emotion, double standards, degrading of citizens, the Climate Change scam, electric cars, windmills, ignorance of history, dumbing down of the word democracy, perverts, and a non-practical way of looking at life.  And there are probably a hundred more reasons to hate their political programs.  The Dems are currently a combination Bolsheviks, Trotskyists, Nazis, Weimar Republicanos, and Maoist Red Guards.  Three of these five resemblances are easy to prove because let’s face it, the Dem is currently being run by its far left faction.  The other two, the Nazis and Weimars I will explain.  The Dems endless whining about Jan 6 is right out of the Nazi playbook.  Like the Nazis used the Reichstag Fire to gain power, the Dems are using the Jan 6 riots to hold on to power.  The Dems resemble the Weimars in their absolute decadence.

 I overslept this morning.

I think I’m going to list my reasons  I hope Trump wins the election next Wednesday morning. Maybe, I’ll even make a video about it.  But I’ll have to organize my thoughts.

I initially wasn’t a Trump supporter and may have even had early onset TDS.  I was a Ted Cruz supporter in 2016 because I thought he was the true anti-Rino Republican.  But reading the columns of Pat Buchanan changed my mind about Trump and gave insight into why there was support for Trump.  I was swayed by Buchanan’s arguments about the badness of the neocons, the immigration debacle and the failure of the NAFTA agreement.  Another contributing factor was the candidacy of Hilary Clinton.  That woman could not be president of the USA.  She was singularly unaccomplished and unimpressive.  Still, it wasn’t till Trump won that I became a Trumper.  When they started saying Trump was Hitler-like and racist, and were plotting ways to get rid of him, I saw that Trump was hated by all the bad people of the Democrat Party and all the losers of the Republicans.  I saw Trump is his true, glorious light.
