I have NEVER liked ‘Bill Barr‘. I don’t like him now either. But, on this matter, I (ALAS) have to agree with him — since I feel, 100%, the SAME WAY.

Biden is NOW a bigger threat to the welfare of the U.S. than Trump!

It is true. Biden is weak, indecisive and nobody respects him. The borders are BEYOND A MESS and inflation is unabetting. I am so fed up of seeing him shuffling about, looking lost & confused and talking like the VERY OLD MAN he is. We need a STRONG President.

I am NOT sure I can vote for Trump, BUT I will NOT (I repeat, ‘NOT’), vote for Biden.

Biden is letting us ALL down. The world thinks we are weak. As I have pointed out the U.K. & Poland have already ACCEPTED that Trump will be the next president. There can no longer be any doubt or debate that Trump will WIN the November election by a landslide. I doubt whether Biden will more than 5 states!

Poland Joins Britain In Accepting The INESCAPABLE That ‘Donald Trump’ Will INDEED BE The Next President.

A week ago … as I reported.

It is now beyond a forgone conclusion.

Donald Trump will indeed be the next President of the U.S.

Joe Biden is toast, burnt toast. Watching him campaigning in Pennsylvania is embarrassing. I keep on looking for the IV stand on wheels trailing him. He looks pathetic. He looks what he is. A very old man, shuffling about with no bloody clue.

Though I am NOT a fan of Trump, I am, in a way, relieved that he will be President. This country is in a mess. The border needs sorting out. And yes, his economic policies will not hurt me. SMILE.

So, I am resigned to it. His presidency will be better than what we have now — which is NOTHING. NADA. No-Op. Biden is a disgrace!

This ‘Mini Cooper’ has been at our beach the last few days. I immediately spotted the UNION JACK tail lights & was ‘gaga’. Wow. How cool. I had to take some pictures.

I even looked it up. It is STANDARD on ALL Mini Cooper Ss sold in Britain. Not so in the U.S. You have to buy them separately. NOT sure whether they pass INSPECTION in some state — like New Hampshire. But, they are cool. Had to share them with YOU. Enjoy.

The Timing Of Netflix’s ‘Three Mile Island’ Miniseries Was Unfortunate.

My post, on this blog, just a month ago. Click to access post.

No question; like so many of their recent efforts, this is a good Netflix documentary. I have no quarrels with it. I think it tells the story as to what happened.

The problem is that ‘Three Mile Island’ accident happened in 1979 — 43 years ago. That, quite literally was THEN, & we are now over four decades on. Just for reference, in 1979 we did NOT have PCs, the Internet, smartphones or Facebook. It was a very different world. I know. I was there. I was 26 years old. I was working for IBM. That, I can assure you, was yesterday’s technology.

Never mind advances in nuclear technology, our computer technology has advanced so much since then that we can have nuclear plants that are considerably safer.

That is my point.

Early jet planes were unsafe. But, we didn’t stop trying to build better jets. Now we have (bar the occasional dud as in the 737 Max) incredibly safe jet planes. Ditto, nuclear plants. Do NOT bring up the unfortunate Fukushima disaster. We don’t get many tsunamis in the U.S.

This is why I am so happy & proud that MY U.K. has started to rethinking its nuclear power future. Way to go.

We need nuclear power plants. To shy away from them is shortsighted.

So, just as Europe has re-embarked on revamping its nuclear power strategy we get this documentary. The timing sucks.

So Glad & So Proud That MY Britain Is Re-Thinking Reliance On Nuclear Power — Way To Go.

I have always been a believer & fan of nuclear power. It is reliable, cheap power with some, inevitable, consequences — & I only worry about safely getting rid of the spent fuel rather than risk.

Living itself is a risk!

Going out on the roads, flying, drinking etc. etc. all have risks. But, most of us still do them.

We can’t dismiss nuclear because of setbacks from MANY, MANY decades ago.

Technology has moved on & we have more expertise.

IF we had given up on jets because of the early accidents we would not have today’s air travel. Think about that. Engineers studied & learnt from the early oversights.

Plus, in the U.K. we are not prone to earthquakes & tsunamis — unlike Japan where there was the unfortunate Fukushima disaster.

So, I am delighted that we are rethinking nuclear.

Alas, this kind of thinking will never occur in the U.S. because of this inane political divide — the two sides not even able to work together when it comes to climate change.
