Episode from 11-11-2018

I don’t talk that much about the TV show list of things that I watch because there isn’t much change that happens in it. Now there has been a change with it that happened a bit ago. I just now got to telling you about it. You see, Invader Zim has been removed from the list until I can watch a Valentine’s Day related episode when it is that time of year. Thus, its replacement will be the fourth season of Farscape that I have borrowed from a friend.

В выпуске «Время» 24 июля 2017 года есть две статьи, представляющие интерес. Один начинается на стр. 7 и рассказывает обо всех усилиях, которые неправильно делает, чтобы люди не голосовали. Они делают это под видом предотвращения мошенничества с избирателями. В исследовании, посвященном этому, упоминается на стр. 8, что «он может остановить 200 законных избирателей за каждое двойное голосование, которое он предотвращает». В нем упоминается, что государство «Канзас было особенно агрессивно» при прохождении ограничений избирателей на той же странице.

В более поздней статье на странице 24 упоминается Дональд Трамп-младший и его попытки помочь россиянам вмешиваться в выборы. Он признается в этом по электронной почте под названием «Россия - Клинтон - конфиденциальная и конфиденциальная». Об этом говорится в статье. Важными для этого людьми являются Роб Голдстоун, Эмин Агаларов, Наталья Веселницкая, Пол Манафорт и Джаред Кушнер. Важные даты, которые он упоминает в 2016 году, - 5-3, 6-3, 6-7, 6-8, 6-9, 6-14, 6-15, 7-24 и 7-27. То, как начинается статья, довольно зловещее: «Самым насущным вопросом нашего времени может быть: насколько это плохо?»

I know that is two paragraphs in Russian, but I’m going to count that as just one. I might do some posts in Spanish in the future when it relates to some of the current relations between the US and Mexico. You should also know that another language will appear from time to time in the future. I mentioned that in a Russian paragraph and I’ll do more than just what I talked about in it after all.

There is a good example of how it seems that there is one controversy after another with Trump, yet he keeps staying in despite what has happened. He is like the black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It doesn’t matter if he keeps losing limb after limb (figuratively), he keeps fighting.


Today, as in the day when this episode airs, is Veteran’s Day. This makes me hope that there weren’t any controversies at all of the football games, but that’s not what the point is about. I couldn’t be a part of the military, even if I wanted to. But you have to admire what these people do.

My grandfather was drafted into the army and a cousin of mine volunteered for it. Remember those that fought for all that this country is, even if it could be better. While some of us sit on the sofa writing blogs, there are others who fight for what we need.

Today we remember the military
Often doing fights that are scary
But I give thanks to their way
And the prices they pay
To keep us out of situations quite hairy

When the 2010 Tonight Show conflict was happening, I think that very few people realized how Jimmy Fallon benefited from it. In politics today, I don’t think most people realize that Mike Pence if often in a similar situation where he is largely silent on the controversies of things. Sometimes he does speak up, but he will benefit from being largely silent on most issues today.

I’m not going to do a talk on all of the election results as some of them aren’t even certain yet. There is a special election in Mississippi which is going to a run-off. Seats flipped from blue to red and from red to blue in the US senate with Republicans gaining seats. The Democrats gained seats in the US House of Representatives and gained enough to retake a majority. Something that surprisingly hasn’t been talked about that much is how many governor seats went from red to blue and not one went from blue to red, although one went from Independent to Republican.

To me, it would seem odd if Republicans were upset over Brett Kavanaugh. Why do I think that? Well, they got their way and he is now on the Supreme Court for life. They have nothing to be upset about. They would have a right to be upset if he didn’t actually get on the court. But I do wonder now if there was enough outrage at all of the moderate Democrats who voted against him that they lost their races to hardcore deep Republicans. If I have to make a prediction already about the next race, it is that the next senate election will have him be important in it. It could even affect the class 3 elections.

While I do think that I will get to all of the election results of races that I’ve covered in this blog all at the same time like I could, I have decided to do just one at a time. This will start in this blog post and then continue for others until I’m done. Then, I’ll start looking ahead at the next race I care about: the 2019 gubernatorial election in Kentucky. While I might start talking about the 2020 presidential race ahead of any others, I won’t talk about the rest of the 2020 elections I care about until after November 5, 2019, when that general election is.

I did predictions in the last post so I might as well do more in this post. 1- At least one of the Democratic senators who lost reelection will run for president. 2- Josh Hawley will not complete his first term as a senator due to his dark money links or some other scandal. 3- There will be more than one person who winds up running for the next Republican presidential nomination. 4- Democrats will regain control of the senate after the 2020 elections.

Now I should get to the results of the Illinois governor race. To little surprise, J. B. Pritzker won the race and Bruce Rauner will be a one term governor. I guess that Bruce shouldn’t have betrayed the values that conservatives had or he would have won. I might post later on who should join him on a vacation that he should take now that he won’t be in office anymore.

It has been a while since I got to the Rams versus Chargers update that I promised that I would do more in the future. The Rams have 1 loss while the Chargers have 2 losses, one of them being to the Rams. Now there is a bye affecting things as the Rams have played one more game than the Chargers. Once the total game count has evened out again, I’ll be sure to post something here about it.

Movie update: On Friday, I watched Courageous and it is replaced by Avatar. On Saturday, Finding Nemo was watched and replaced by Finding Dory. On Sunday, Celtic Woman: Songs from the Heart was what I watched and it was replaced by Celtic Woman: Believe.

I check the games before primetime. FOX isn’t airing any games. Both of my CBS affiliates are airing a game of the Rams versus the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have 31 points to the 36 points that the Rams have. Less than two minutes of game remain. FOX is airing Last Man Standing. I do not like that show, although I used to watch it. A lot of what they put in it became too stupid.

Some weird things do happen in the game, although I try to stick with it until the end. Attempts by the Seahawks to win are ultimately unsuccessful and the Rams win. I join Bob’s Burgers after the second act, having missed the first by sticking with the game.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 40 minute delay. We begin with people near the border of two counties, one of them being Turkey, I think. There is then a conference about this in Qatar that Elizabeth is at with the rest of her team. Some gross looking food is being made there. That was an omelet? Some in her team want to get people to help, but they are having none of it. The team then talks about their options of what they should do. Elizabeth talks to Ming, the strange Chinese man that we see from time to time. I’ve never understood his character.

Ming talks about how China is advancing on different things. He is distracted by playing his VR game. It would seem that something weird is going on with Alison. Henry thinks that she was doing a booty call last night. I wouldn’t think that of her, but it could be it. I just hope that they do it well as often, when TV does the topic of teen sexuality, they don’t do it well at all. Elizabeth butts heads with a diplomat that works for Turkey and an issue happens with violence only happening. We then get to the team wind up in Iceland after their plane needs to be refueled. Issues with a volcano keep the team there and it would seem that they are stuck with other diplomats as well.

In segment two, we see something with Matt, who appears to be apart from the rest of the team, but he might not be. We learn some of the things with the team with what they can do. Elizabeth tries to talk to the person over refugees. He calls them terrorists and she thinks that it relates more to dead babies. Of course, some may only get to the whole abortion debate where both sides can be extreme over one side being baby killers and the other side not recognizing that fetuses are babies. Elizabeth wants to take up all the outlets over what is going on. Well, that’s what it could be.

Matt is in the US and talks with Henry and Alison about various things. He is not with the rest of the team. Iceland wouldn’t have the same type of outlets that the rest of us would have. But I guess that they would all have the adapters that they need. This is her way of fighting back against threats.

In segment three, a woman approaches Jay and she talks about how hungry she is. She wants to take over the bathrooms and make it Dutch territory. Despite claiming to be good at chess, Jay still agrees to play for it. Elizabeth thinks that there might be thaws in negotiations. Jay loses to her in the game. Henry tries to get more information out of this sort of relationship that Alison is in. She is using big words in order to make her point. Henry talks to Elizabeth about this.

Cat works on trying to get a visa for a hippo. “Can hippos get visas?” I’d ask that if they didn’t already. Jay plays the woman again and he once again loses. She thinks that people have cheated when playing chess against her. Elizabeth tries to work with more people. Jay is doing karaoke. Despite being quiet in a nice enough manner, he is still criticized by other people. I am not familiar with this strawberry fence song that people are singing. But it might actually bring people together.

In segment four, Elizabeth’s team learns that planes can leave the airport. He kisses the woman that he was with and is upset over what he deems was unfair treatment of her. Henry then talks with people over something that I’m not sure was that important before. Matt wants time off. Elizabeth then sees what could be cheating and works to try to figure out how to prove that it might be happening. Henry thinks that Russia cheats too much. He doesn’t have to be that upset as this show takes place in another reality than our worlds (most of the time, at least).

Elizabeth talks to Ming about the cheater at chess and Elizabeth seeks to find a way to bring the two counties together in order to expose the cheater in question. This is in order for him to think that China is the smartest country in the world.

In segment five, we get to the chess game in question that the Chinese and Russian are playing. We then see the person arrested for violations of the bylaws and he loses the tournament as a result. While there are issues with the deficient in question, they still go through with something. Jay continues to stay in contact with the woman and plays words with friends with her. Elizabeth talks about how they had to rely on some dumb luck in order for this to happen.

Alison tried to have the define the relationship talk with Gunner and they aren’t together anymore.  She then wants to move out. Turkey opens the borders of their country and they welcome refugees in. And open borders are bad?


On the next Madam Secretary, someone who has issues with Elizabeth could become an ally of hers due to reasons that we’ll have to wait until the next episode in order to see what will happen. I will be back sometime with the next post. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
