A tale of…

…a 1st World leader
Donald Trump – then president of the USA – once downgraded all of us in the global south — then semi-officially lumped as the “Third World” — as “sh**hole countries”!!
He, of course, knows a lot about being a sh**hole!! A man who disgraced his country by becoming its first president to be criminally convicted for hiding payments made to have a prostitute not reveal he once solicited – and consummated – sex with her while being married ain’t no slouch in the sh**thole department!! Then, again, he actually boasted about grabbing women in their crotches – he used the “p” word! – certain they wouldn’t protest, cause they’ll be too shocked!!
Anyhow, this man was once the president of “the free world”, and as such – whether we like it or not – has a lot of power in determining our particular sh**hole’s fate!!
Don’t forget that when Granger was trying to do a Burnham by Mingoing our elections, it was he who sent “Big Mike” Pompeo to read the Riot Act and pull some visas. Your Eyewitness knows that it wasn’t because they were defending “democracy” and all that; it was because they wanted to keep the climate cool for Exxon to rake in their profits, and to keep an eye on Mad Maduro who’s been coveting our Essequibo!!
Anyhow, Trump lost their 2020 elections; Biden won, and started waffling towards Mad Maduro – started enacting the whole scene from Hamlet, and couldn’t seem to make up his mind “to sanction or not to sanction” Mad Maduro and Venezuela!! Well, Trump is the Republican to take on Democrat Biden in elections this November. Yes, in the First World, convicts can run for the presidency!! And as is their custom, they had their first Presidential Debate of the season!! Biden in the blue corner and Trump in the red!!
So, how’d it go? And what does it mean for us? In a nutshell, Biden fell apart, and exposed to the world he was just a doddering old man who loses his train of thought in the middle of a sentence!! Could you imagine what would happen if Russia launched some ICBMs towards America and Biden forgot how to insert the key to fire off America’s response?? That’s the question Democrats are asking right now, as they see defeat staring them in the face!! While Trump lied his pants off(!), at least his lies were delivered quickly and were on point!!
Problem is, Biden already has the majority of votes in their coming Convention – and only he can release them to vote for someone else. Can his handlers make him remember the greater cause to make him do so??
Nah…and he’ll be trounced by Trump – which is good for us!!

…Third World leaders
In the meantime, we in old Mudland had our own leadership action, as the PNC and AFC tried to get their act together and elect their leaders. Your Eyewitness has been going over matters in the PNC camp blow by blow literally!! So, we don’t need to reprise the ghastly details now that all challengers have pulled out. Save to enquire whether the “Elders” would still be conducting the alleged sexual allegation made against Comrade Norton. That reaffirmation by the sister at the Congress who rolled at the latter’s feet makes that a  bit moot now, innit??
But the action over in the Dead Meat AFC has grabbed some attention – even though on paper Sherod Duncan should’ve locked up the contest for leader with nominations from 14 groups versus his challenger Nigel Hughes’s 2. But it’s been emphasized that Duncan’s support is from the “grassroots”, while Hughes’s is from the “elite”.
Like the latter should prevail as if grassroots’ votes are counted differently from the elite’s!!

…Cricket power
In case you were wondering why yesterday’s championship match between India and South Africa started at 10:30am, which was 7:20pm – prime time in India!! And we used to have to wait up for cricket at 4am!! Money talks!!
