In what was ultimately a resounding victory, Donald J.Trump has just been nominated as the President-Elect of the United States of America. Nearly all the “political pundits” around the World had it the other way around. Hilary Clinton, a former “first lady”, Democratic “expert” & wannabe first Woman President ever, of the U.S.A., was fully expected to “take over” from President Obama and move into the “White-house” early next year. (2017) It was not to be. This writer is no “political- pundit”, no “pandit”(Professor) , not even a “pundithaya” which is the Sinhala word for “know-all”, but, for anyone with even an ounce of common-sense, the writing was on the wall, in America, & IS on the wall, in many other Countries right now. ...

People will not be able to “vote” it in or out, not until 2017 or 2018 at least, so let us now change to “Aged-Sex”which, unfortunately, is right up my alley, especially as I am now “aged” myself and, still being “straight”(?), , found the “Sex and Older Women” very interesting indeed, and the “comments” even more so. This “subject” is fraught with “wide & various positions”, please pardon the phrase. With older women, positions do not matter too much.
