The Nexus Problem : Starvation or War, Riots or Missiles, Food or Taxes
Thoughts of author Prof. Dr. Thomas Fletcher Grooms

The entire human race is living on borrowed time. We spend our lives listening to false proclamations of gurus and experts. Never knowing for sure what to believe, so we tend to follow the most popular opinion.

Governments want to reduce the population by making food overly expensive or war for population control. You read my recent article “Socialist Tendences” on the pre-election, which as it turned out to be accurate.

Everyone has problems, some big or some small, many or few, great or insignificant, but we all do. The solution to our problems facing us begins first with identifying what is the problem. Second then deciding how to fix or solve the problem.

Humans tend to ignore their problems and hope they will miraculously disappear or go away on their own. Time does not heal all problems. Problems don’t heal or correct themselves, unless the problem wasn’t really ours to begin with and especially under the control of another person.

A problem isn’t an opportunity, never has been and never will be one. As a teacher, I can say this is a dumb statement made by dumb people.

Probably, the same people who still hang onto the use of the word Democracy, which doesn’t exist and hasn’t for hundreds of years in any country. A majority of people who repeat things like parrots, tend to never create an original thought.

Ignorance prevails and flourishes in America. This is basically because of our socialist indoctrinating public schools producing generations of illiterates putting our youth at a competitive disadvantage. Looking at student rankings, the highest-ranking math scores and reading literacy skills are all found in Asia, the future competitors of young Americans.

Too many high school students aren’t taught civics or history. Especially, when there is a great need for courses in civics, American history and culture, which haven’t been redacted and tainted with poison thoughts.

It has been a problem since 1985, which has resulted in our public schools indoctrinating with socialist tendencies by the federal department of education, an enemy of America and Americans. It all shows up at the ballot box, in our national economic productivity, and level in quality of service to the general public.

Let’s call it what it is, a problem, an obvious problem getting worse without correction. If it’s something that needs a fix or solution, it’s a problem.

Don’t call it an opportunity because you think it makes you sound like a great leader or manager. It stinks and so do you for saying it.

It sounds simple, but it isn’t. Problem solution is never easy because many times it causes discontent and resistance.

All of this leads into what is of great interest for many people. The cause and effect of our national election of 2026 held two days ago will go hand-in-hand with the future of America and much of the world.

Republicans assumed a win living in a false belief of a populous legacy of the president. The Trump legacy didn’t deliver all of what was promised and thought important by the masses of voters who felt forgotten and ignored.

Bad advisors and enemy allies aren’t your friend. The ability to judge others isn’t an easy task.

The Republican Party didn’t lose the election because of the Iran skirmish, cost of living or corruption. They lost because the populous recognized the betrayal.

Was the election a wakeup call or death sentence of a nation …?

Nationally …

A large number of Republicans crossed-over and voted Democrat. This happened in many races across the country because some Republicans didn’t feel like they had a viable candidate they could support that would help them win re-election.

Many Republicans didn’t feel like they could support a lot of the Republicans running for office. As a result, many, according to the numbers, deserted, deferred and silently voted against their own party members.

Don’t be surprised in January if Trump is formally impeached and not removed from office. Trump is over-confident thinking he still has a controlling power with the Veto.

It takes 60 Senate votes to overturn a Veto. If I’m right, the Democrats will easily have the votes needed with distancing-Republicans to overturn all Vetoes. This will make Trump a non-president without presidential powers.

There will be a large number of Republicans coming up for re-election over the next three years. Many will support-vote with the Democrats hoping for Democrat support in their re-election.

Trump and his family may face many investigations and prosecutions. He is open to these types of attacks because he left his enemies in power. The deep-state is alive and well. It will do what Trump failed to do.

In other words, Trump didn’t deliver all he promised the voters who sent a message back like when they elected Trump by a landslide. This time it came back around to send a strong signal and message of rejection.

Is anyone listening in Washington …? No. They will in a short-time forget all about this and continue to do what is easy, ignoring the country’s problems.

Expect in the next presidential election a Democrat President. Definitely expect passage of National Health Care and eventually National Guaranteed Income. The reason is all the companies in America can’t provide enough jobs for our population.

No country in the world can provide enough jobs for its population. So, a combination of National Health Care and National Guaranteed Income could be on the future agenda of every country in the world.

As I see it, the governor of Texas Abbott thought he was a shoe-in and headed to the White House. I watched his speech and his distraught face had him almost in tears because he couldn’t believe he got defeated, badly defeated.

There may be some truth that both he & Paxton beat themself. Neither delivered what was promised, what the voters wanted and asked for … no school tax on real property and no property tax.

Abbott didn’t get rid of property taxes liked he promised. A four-year temporary higher property tax exemption was not believable.
Paxton’s record speaks for itself.

Both candidates were endorsed by Trump. Both became weak candidates not realizing the people of Texas didn’t buy their song and dance and aware they didn’t keep their promises to help Texans in general.

Future …

As I see it, we could possibly see again rising prices in a barrel of oil. Continuously spreading wars all over the world. Israel rejected and deserted by the newly controlled Islam Democrat Party.

We may see larger and more frequent riots and protests in our streets. A continuous socialist agenda and political movement like were in the former Russia, China, Venezuela, etc. under communist rule.

Extreme, we might see a total wall street crash of every type of investment asset across the entire board in metals, stocks, bonds, and to replace an extreme shortage of cash as the credit market collapses. If this happens, possibly, stock market withdrawals for liquidity could convert suddenly into an underground cash economy. Liberty could revive silently and in stealth.

In the next presidential election, anything is possible. Everything will be promised.

If the middle east conflict erupts into war, America might get hit with missiles from Iran. I wrote my opinion and assessment on Iran’s nuclear arsenal in a former article.

If the price of food doesn’t change the size of the population, then possibly nuclear war will be used to reduce the world population which has become too large for acceptance by those holding high positions in most governments. People in power want to stay in power, but more importantly want to stay alive to enjoy their spoils.

The main reason for all of this is there is no one strong leader capable with popular recognition to stop what might possibly happen. This is not bleak, only an extreme circumstance and unsupported opinion of thought.

It may all come down to a choice between starvation or war for population control, riots or missiles for power, food or taxes with what’s left in income. It’s all in the betrayal.

The promise of a nation has failed to produce what the world needs most … Tg
