    About this ebook

    This biography is about a man who is unique in every way.

    He had decided at the age of twelve to become a scientist and worked toward that goal, earning his way financially and educationally. His mother instilled in him that he could do anything he set his mind to and do it well. His father taught him that to get ahead in life, he had to work, and he had to work hard. So he worked harder and accomplished more than anyone else in any given time, so much so that it seemed unreal.

    Only his future wife, intimate friends, and collaborators knew that he had gifts the average person did not have that gave him, for example, the ability to hold three jobs at the same time, get a PhD in three years, and publish six full-length papers from those three years of work.

    To the scientific community around him, he appeared as a loner, not being able to make small talk nor showing the slightest ability for social interactions and simple tact. So he never got the respect from them he deserved.

    He had a heart of gold and gave of himself freely, even to his own detriment.

    We met at work, dated for five years, worked full-time, and both went to school for graduate degrees at night. Then we married and loved each other for sixty blissful, happy, adventurous, and satisfying work-filled years.

    It all came to a heartbreaking swift end when Burt fell, writing something for me on an unsteady chair, broke a hip, caught COVID-19 in the hospital, and was sent home not properly treated nor healed. I caught COVID from him, fell, and broke a hip too. And when he saw me there on the floor, he gave up fighting the virus. He could not bear the fact that I was in need of help and that he could not help as he had done all our times together.

      About the Author

      Notes

      Introduction

      Last time I wrote a book was in 2017. It was called What Difference Does It Make? What Happened to Our Country , ¹ which happens to be a short, but accurate, encyclopedia of President Obama's activities to destroy this country, and it started with I am elated.

      Burt, my husband, confessed to me, I feel happy…happy to sometimes live in this paradise called Florida, happy to be able to pursue my work [at age of eighty-one], and happy that we just dodged the final fatal bullet in the election and put Donald Trump in the White House. So Burt's well-being included three entities: a place, the ability to work, and the political environment.

      It is all gone now, and I am left with nothing three years later. I hope you, the reader, will permit me to explain what had been and is no more. You will let me tell you about an individual that is so unique; people, including myself, often had doubts as to the veracity of it all, yet it was all true, without a shadow of a doubt, as I had found out the hard way—by getting solid proof.

      Permit me to say one more thing: I am what a colleague of mine called a minimal writer—that is, I write only about facts, without embellishment and fancy descriptions, without back-and-forth conversations, an important feature of good writing, or without depiction of places to admire, which would give some relaxation. I write only about facts, which follow each other without pause.

      I hope the reader will indulge me and not throw the book away in disgust, once he/she has made the endeavor to pick it up, because of too much concentrated effort. Just put the book down and continue after a good rest.

      A Fraudulent Election

      It was the early morning of November 4 th , 2020. All eyes were on the television and had been the whole night before. That morning, the result of the election was going to be announced. We were stunned and horrified at the result. My husband and I had happily noted all night as President Trump amassed votes. And suddenly, in the early morning, his votes were no longer counted, there was a complete stop, even on Fox News. What craziness was that?

      We had gone to four of President Trump's rallies and saw most others on television. There were always thousands of people present, many of whom had to stay outside the meeting halls or enclosed areas. While Mr. Biden's rallies, which were few and far between, had a maximum of one hundred or so attendants, most less than that. In fact, some had no more than fifteen attendees. It had been a joke going around that Mr. Biden was mostly hiding in the basement of his home.

      How could this possibly be? How could Biden have won more votes than Mrs. Clinton when President Trump had done so well for this country and for all its citizens?

      He had done wonders and even had accomplished most of the promises he had made during his run for the presidency. It was as if he was a magician. Much of what he accomplished were things that could never have been done nor even thought of by any other person. We, the conservative Republican citizens, all had concluded that President Trump was the best president of our lifetime, if not best President ever, the best and most appropriate to follow on the time of woe we had endured for the previous eight years.

      Our economy was booming. He eliminated ISIS and, thus, made the country safe in a matter of a few weeks, which seemed could never happen again after these Islamic terrorists were in the process of building a caliphate over the Middle East and Africa under Obama. President Trump made the country independent of foreign gas and oil by increasing production of fossil fuel here in the USA, ensuring that it was done in a clean, environmentally friendly way, an incredible accomplishment in a short time, and reopening coal mining, thus also returning jobs to people who had lost them under the previous administration's war on coal. There were more jobs for all minorities whose job numbers never had increased before. He got rid of the Paris Accords (the global warming fantasy, which democrats declared our nation's worst problem) because we were paying the bulk of the money while other countries, who did the most pollution, paid nothing. President Trump got rid of laws that prevented businesses from thriving. He improved schools for minorities and everyone else by instituting school choice, and he improved minority universities by augmenting
