Requiem for 2023

"Did I mention we will have the election of the century also this coming year? No? I bad. It will probably be a rematch of the old guys. But much can change between now and November. Many (including myself), think that it will take some EST like only Trump can deliver to right the ship of state." 

Goodbye 2023. It has been nice knowing you. Has it been a good year? It has been for the stock market. Been a terrible year for Joe Biden. An even worse year for the folks along the southern border. How about the front runner for the GOP? Donald Trump? How has his year gone? Frustrating for sure, with the Deep State throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him. But even with the "legal" system nipping at his heels, his poll numbers have not suffered. If fact, they have gone up.

Is there uncertainty that 2023 is leaving us? Absolutely. In fact, in this morning's news, was word that the head of the Dutch forces is telling his troops to prepare for war with Russia. Say what? Where did that come from? Another news story said the United States is heading directly into a war with Iran. Now that - I can believe. Even with Biden as president, we might not have much choice. Bottom line? The world still sits on the precipice of a much larger global war. That is what we are bringing into 2024 with us.

Some of the techno tidbits I have covered in the past few weeks. Computers will become faster and more powerful, 5G will start to morph into the development of 6G, our first 6th generation fighters will become more mainstream, and AI will start to take over everything. Many techno experts are saying that 2024 is the first year that our "change curve" goes from steep to almost vertical. Changes will come so fast and furious; it will be almost dizzying. If you hate change, 2024 is going to be a tough ride for you.

EV development is going to slow down until the entire charging picture and cost issues can get solved. The hydrogen fuel cell programs, however, are going full speed ahead. Does that mean the internal combustion engine will go bye-bye in 2024? Not a bit. Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and BMW are all now focusing on hydrogen going forward instead of the EV. Volkswagen, however, will not. They will stick with the EV technology. But in the meantime, many Americans still want the good old gas burners to drive around. Is the end in sight for the ICE? Yes, eventually, but not in 2024.

Did I mention we will have the election of the century also this coming year? No? I bad. It will probably be a rematch of the old guys. But much can change between now and November. Many (including myself), think that it will take some EST like only Trump can deliver to right the ship of state. To continue to purge the country of this Deep State cancer. To get the real economy working again. To really secure our borders.

However, should Biden win in November, look for many folks to be running to the exits. America as we know it or knew it, will be bye-bye.
