NOTE: My original goal was one new “Reason” every weekday until Nov 5. Because I started on July 3rd, I calculated that would be about 90 posts on Facebook. One week later, I decided to also post on this website in order to include embedded videos, at times extended information that wouldn’t fit on a FB post, and my list of sources as well as providing a more convenient place for reading any or all previous posts. That has made each article’s research and writing task much longer. I am now finding it very difficult to keep up. Reluctantly facing reality, and health factors more recently, I am now accepting that I will write as much as I can, but as of today it is looking like there will only be +/- 50 “Reasons” by Election Day. But I assure you there are far more than 90 reasons to defeat Trump. – Richard, 10/8/2024.
