Trump Wins Second Term

(Note: I am an independent. I just observe. I am not a Republican or Democrat.)
 
In May 2017, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III was appointed to launch a probe into charges of collusion between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russian contacts. Nearly two years later, his investigation has finally ended. He formally announced the investigation is closing on March 22. The results: No collusion with Russia.
 
Very sorry to all the Democrats who never wanted to accept Hillary Clinton lost the election. Very sorry to all the organizations like Yahoo News, New York times, Washington Post, CNN, et al. They put all their eggs in one basket…Robert Mueller. They hoped, wished, and wanted Robert Mueller to come out with something against Donald Trump. Their mantra was “Wait for Mueller”. Mueller finally said no dice.
 
Even now some Democrats want further investigations. However, with Robert Mueller saying “no collusion with Russia” what does the common man (the guy who votes to elect the President) think? The gas station attendant in Atlanta and the factory worker in Detroit think Trump is innocent, whether it’s true or not. Therefore, in my opinion, Trump will easily win a second term in 2020.
 
Of course, Trump is very unpredictable. He could very well say “I’m not running for a second term”.

Kamala Harris


Almost 6 years ago, on April 11, 2013, I wrote a post “A Name to Remember”. It was about Justice Srikanth Srinivasan. In that post, I had also mentioned that (a practically unknown at that time) anytime in the next 25 years Kamala Harris may contest for the President of USA and may even win.

Kamala’s mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan, is from Chennai.

Day before yesterday, Senator Kamala Harris announced that she is officially entering the race for the President of the United States in 2020. She is one of the more than a dozen candidates from the Democratic Party.

She has a similarity with President Obama. Obama was a first term Senator and ran for the President. Kamala Harris is also a first term Senator.

Obama was the first African-American to be elected as President. Will Kamala Harris be the first woman (and Indian origin) to be elected as President? Stay tuned.

The Play

Stanford won today against Cal Bears with a comfortable margin of 23 to 13.
 
Thank God they did not have to send their Marching Band into the field to stop Cal Bears from winning the game as in 1982. HeHeHe.
 
It was November 20, 1982. Stanford against Cal at the Cal Berkeley Stadium. Stanford Cardinals were leading 20-19 with only 4 seconds to play. The Cardinals flooded the field to celebrate and the referee ushered them back to the bench.
 
Now with only 4 seconds left, Cal had possession of the ball.
 
Stanford’s band, assuming their team has already won, started marching into the field. The Cal Bears made several backward/lateral pass among their players and ran through the Stanford Band to make a Touch Down and win the game 25-20.
 
This last play by Cal Bears on that day (November 20, 1982) is the called “The Play”,
 
“The Play,” as it became known remains one of the most famous in college football history.   Here is the YouTube of that last play.
