Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Oy Vey, Donald Trump will be the Next President

I went to sleep last night at about 11:15 thinking that this close election would not be resolved for several hours. I promised myself I would not wake up in the middle of the night to check the results. I woke up at about 5:45 (normal wakeup time for me is 6:10) and looked at my phone and saw that Donald Trump won as he took most of the battleground states. I can only pray for the future of this country. Will he be the same jerk as he was as a candidate? The Republicans will also have control of the House and Senate. Who will be appointed to the Supreme Court and to cabinet positions?

Michael Moore when he was interviewed on NBC last night summarized it perfectly as he said that Trump conned the American public into thinking that he was best for the presidency.
