INTRODUCTION

Dear Friends,

Howdy!! God bless America!!

As the people of this planet enter the middle part of the 21st century, all eyes are now glued to one important Election - the Election for the next President of the United States of America (the USA), which is scheduled to happen in November of 2024. It is not so distant from now and hence the preparations by the two main rival candidates have geared up massively. 

What this Election means for everybody:

Despite huge efforts from Vladimir Putin and his few allies to downsize the importance and magnitude of the US, the experts on geopolitics and international diplomacy know quite well that what Putin has desired, has yet not happened, and most probably will not happen still for a long long time to come. America still continues to remain The Most Powerful Nation in the world in many ways - financially, militarily, and diplomatically. Most cross-border and other international transactions are still done in US dollars only despite attempts by China and Russia to change it. The US continues to dominate the global economy through its huge number of multinational companies especially in the software industry like Apple, Google, Facebook, X, etc. Although the size of the US Army is 7th largest in the world, after considering the modernization and sophistication of its various divisions, it is the most dangerous and lethal force in the world. The army personnel of the US outnumbers that of most countries of the world. (Only Vietnam, North Korea, South Korea, India, Russia, and China have more Army personnel than the US but the weapons that the army personnel of the above 6 nations carry are way behind that of what US army personnel carry in terms of technical sophistication and advancement.) As I write this, 463,843 active-duty personnel, 329,749 Army National Guard personnel, 176,827 Army Reserve personnel, 959,287 total uniformed personnel (estimates as of August 2023), 330,000 civilian personnel, 4,406 crewed aircraft are serving the country. It has more nuclear warheads than any other country except Russia (As of today the US has 69 less nuclear weapons than the country ruled by the mad dictator). It always tries its best to get involved wherever democracy is in danger throughout the world. It has sent its own troops and sacrificed its own soldiers to save others' democracies on dozens of occasions in the last 79 years since World War - II. That speaks volumes about what America is willing to do for all of humanity and for what is right. Under these circumstances, it is quite obvious that every right-minded citizen of the various countries of the world would get deeply interested in who becomes the next President of such a great country. It's the most powerful designation of the nation and undoubtedly, despite Russia's negative actions, the US President still remains "The Most Powerful Human Being" on this planet!! The American people are truly fortunate to elect him and should take great pride that they get a chance to vote him in. As such he would be the one who will be single-handedly affecting their lives for the next 4 years at least in ways more than one - Education, Health, Taxes, Inflation, Insurance, Abortion rights, Border issues, and many more. An average American would be very keen and sensitive to see if the person he/she will send to the White House fulfills his/her wishes and dreams and not the other way around. 

Force and Power:

As you begin reading this book, it's necessary to understand the difference between Force and Power. In a democracy like the United States, any person who wants to carve out a successful political career but just doesn't know the difference between Force and Power, will certainly fail in his attempts. 

Right now, the Biden-Harris Administration exists in the White House. Since the President of the United States constitutionally and automatically becomes the Commander in Chief of the three main forces the US Military, the US Airforce, and the US Navy, the Biden-Harris Administration has total and absolute control over all 3 of them, obviously. (The reason why I am stating it as the Biden-Harris administration and not just the Biden administration is that in the last 1 month, (as of August 20th, 2024) Joe Biden has withdrawn himself from not only the presidential race but also some regular tasks of the President of the country. In his absence, these tasks are being performed by Kamala Harris, the current Vice President. In other words, she becomes the person-in-charge, viz. the President as and when Biden withdraws himself from duty on medical grounds.) Apart from

them, this administration also controls the Pentagon, all investigative agencies like the FBI, all the media houses, all the police departments spread across the entire country, etc. There is not a single thing that the administration working in the White House right now, can't control. But still, all those things, in whatever cumulative terms we speak, is not power! The power lies with the people of the United States! They can overthrow the present regime, the present Government inside the White House, during the next General Elections and vote for a completely different person other than Biden, to lead the country for the next 4 years. (However, as I write this, Joe Biden has officially withdrawn himself from fighting the next Presidential election to be held in November).  Neither the US Military, the US Navy, the US Airforce, the various police departments spread over this country, the FBI, the Pentagon, nor any individual, however powerful he/she may be, can stop this above-mentioned "different person" from becoming the next President, once the people of the country have voted in favor of him/her. This is the (true) Power! Power is mostly invisible. It becomes visible only when the Final Results of a particular Election are brought to the fore. 

At present Harris has all the forces under her control, being a deputy to the current President Biden - that includes the 3 main forces as well as other forces, as mentioned above. But from the figures of the polls, it seems she is losing that "power". She is trailing Trump in most polls by on an average 2 to 4 points, across the nation. So one can say, Trump has the Power on his side right now. Political situations are mostly fluid everywhere in the world as they tend to change very fast. Harris can gain the lead over Trump in a couple of weeks in most states, all of a sudden. The public opinion can turn in her favor. This is known as "power shift". An analyst who can discern where the public interest lies, which candidate is actually talking about the very ground issues faced by the people, living in the urban as well as remote rural areas -- has the grip or the pulse of the forthcoming Elections. 

A thorough understanding of the above two words - Force and Power - was necessary, as you can see now. Most of you would have thought that both have more or less the same meaning, but in reality, they don't!!! It's going to be a very interesting period of the last 2 months from now onwards, leading to the Presidential Elections, as now we know clearly the difference between the above two words, when we are talking Politics and because of a high probability of drama and unexpected chain of events that precede any US Presidential election. 

Why I am writing this book:

The prime reason why I am writing this book is because it's an Election for the most powerful human being on earth - the POTUS (President of the United States). This human will affect a lot of events, decisions, and results all around the globe in the next 4 years viz. 2025 to 2029. If he/she turns out to be a visionary, he will lead America to greater heights from the current times and will establish peace and stability throughout the globe. If he/she turns out to be some freak, America will go down economically, militarily as well as in several other parameters by the time he/she ends his/her term. I am deeply connected with the interests of America and hence Americans. I heartily wish all the best for them. A wrong choice of the number One leader made by them can prove to be disastrous not only for themselves but for their great country and the whole world. I wish that they would not make any wrong choice in November of 2024. They can get a roundabout, approximate idea of "WHO is the Right Choice as President FOR ME" in this election from local and national newspapers, social media platforms, etc. But those things can not analyze all the information that is floating around and tell them in a precise manner - as to who among Trump or Harris is more suitable for him/her. This is exactly, what this book is going to do. It will keep YOU in focus and tell you who is the Right Candidate FOR YOU. Even though you have been a Republican party supporter or a Democratic supporter in the past, this book will precisely point out the mistakes (if there were any) committed by you in voting for the right person/party in your last few votings or will endorse your beliefs in voting for a particular party or a particular person over the last few votings that you have done so far. Thus it will be an entirely customized solution that this book is going to provide to each and every reader, in an unbiased manner, without tilting toward any of the two candidates. 

After former President Donald J. Trump was removed from the White House in the November 2020 elections, he has continuously alleged the next elected President, Mr. Joseph Biden (more known as Joe Biden) of "stealing away" his election. According to Trump, it was he himself who actually won the 2020 Presidential election. But Biden adopted several illegal means to confiscate victory in the states where he had actually won. Biden on the other hand, absolutely denies any wrongdoing. He says that he got elected through all fair means and ways by the people of the United States. So, who is lying? Is Trump leveling pseudo-charges against Biden and trying to mislead the Americans? Or is Biden trying to cover up his sins, those that he committed just to grab power, thus betraying his country?? Let us find out. 

Let me inform you of my own political stance, very openly. I was slightly tilted toward the Republicans when Trump was President but not anymore. Hence, I would try my best to write this book in the most neutral way possible - without bending towards any party or any candidate whosoever. While reading some chapters you might start thinking that I am inclined toward one of the two parties or candidates, but that would be limited to that chapter only. Overall, I will remain neutral and unbiased towards any person or any party. 

My effort will be to see to it that this book becomes capable of guiding each and every right-minded US citizen to vote for a candidate, who will prove to be particularly good for the whole of America in the 4 years of his/her presidency. I request that you as a reader and I as an author should dive deep together into various topics, in order "to fact-check", to let ourselves know what is true and what is a lie. I will spare nothing to dig out, find, and present the Truth to you, as it is, however bitter or hard it may be, so that you do not choose the wrong person inside the White House.

So, here we go guys - analyzing the chances of both the candidates viz. Trump and Harris, based on his/her track record, talent, ability to survive the most tense moments, honesty, hard work, skill, discipline level, previous commitment towards his/her job, dedication, modesty, etc. 

As I write this, (August 20th, 2024) the events of the past 39 days have been quite sensational - the assassination attempt on Donald Trump as well as the withdrawal of candidature by Biden and the consequent replacement of him with Kamala Harris on the Democratic party ticket!! This shows how fluid and unpredictable, elections can be. But amidst such intense unpredictability, it is still not very hard to choose which person is more suitable to one's OWN SELF, if one has all the brief details of both candidates right in front. What I am going to do in this book is, without any favor or criticism, list out all the policies, actions, decisions, likes, and dislikes of both candidates in a brief but precise manner, so that while sitting in the comfort of your drawing room you can calmly decide, who is better for YOU, without even thinking about what your neighbor or friend or relative or any stranger told you about both the candidates the other day or for whom they have already voted in the early voting!! This book will thus try and be YOUR guide in the decision-making process, the one which will help YOU to decide a person that suits YOU - whether from the Republican party or from the Democratic party. All you need to do is forget the world for a few days, just read this book, get a fair idea as to Who is the suitable candidate for YOU, and then go out to the booth and vote. This book will remove all the uncertainties, all the confusion about the policies and decisions, as well as the previous track record of the two candidates, and create a crystal clear idea of YOUR RIGHT CHOICE - be it Trump or be it Harris.  

May the Best and most Suitable person win this spectacular race for the White House!! I hope you will have a Great Time reading this book!!!

God Bless America!!
