There’s not much that I can
think of putting in this introduction just yet outside of me wanting to tell
you about a great show called Saturday Night Live that I hope that you all
watch. It is one of the most topical shows that you’ll ever see on TV. I’ll
admit that they can be political in a way that isn’t all that good even if it
is the side that I normally agree with. But I suggest that you watch it if you
can and have the chance to.
В выпуске Time Magazine,
вышедшем 13 ноября 2017 года, была опубликована специальная статья под
названием «Самые разыскиваемые Мюллера». Интересно отметить, что даже тогда
было три человека, которые уже были обвинены в расследование по России, в том
числе Джордж Пападопулос, Пол Манафорт и Рик Гейтс, согласно стр. 30. Что-то
более показательное было в более поздней статье, основной из которых на стр.
37, под названием «База Трампа уволит обвинительные заключения». Автор В этой
статье (Элиза Джордан) пишет, что «Администрация будет продолжать отвлекать
внимание…» на такие вещи, как Хилари Клинтон, и указывает, что «избирателям
Трампа нет дела до скандалов, реальных или предполагаемых». Это несмотря на то,
что был «один год ничего не сделано на часах Трампа».
2017年11月13日的时间问题有两篇文章谈到了中国。 第一个题目是“优势中国”。据称，这是“中国，而不是美国，是全球经济中最强大的参与者”的第41页。另一篇关于中国进展的文章 现在和将来被称为“新丝绸之路”。中国做得更好的部分原因是因为特朗普“宣布美国退出巴黎气候协议，让全世界都在寻求中国的领导”。 根据第47页。
I’ve decided to start the
movie update here and split it into multiple parts throughout this post. I will
just tell you know that I had no time on any of these Saturdays to watch movies
like I would have wanted to so that will be when the splits will take place. So
let’s start with the long update. Hancock was replaced by Enchanted after it
was watched on Sunday. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was
watched and replaced by The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on Monday. It
doesn’t have any foreign subtitle options that I use from time to time.
On Wednesday, I decided to use
a special scab list that I have and watched what I consider to be a movie
length special of a Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue tape of the first three
episodes of the season. It was then replaced by Rain Man. On Friday, I watched
Tower Heist and that was replaced by Pocahontas. Family visiting all these
weekends took up time to watch movies on Saturdays.
On this show, I had trouble
for a bit telling the difference between Blake and Jay. Well, I think that I
now know what to do. All I have to do is remember the boss of Cloud Cookoo Land
and the reversal that was in there. The good Mumbo in that level of Banjo Tooie
has the minjo while the bad Mumbo has the jinjo. Jinjos are good and what you
need to help progress in the game while minjos are bad enemies that are merely
pretending to be jinjos. Well, Blake isn’t straight, but he has the straight
hair. Meanwhile, Jay is straight, but he has curly hair. This should hopefully
help me keep the two straight (no pun intended) in the future, if it makes
sense to you.
Since I’m now sharing links
from old episodes of The Good Wife, I thought that I would finally get to the
next episode that aired after the 3D printed gun episode of that show. Well,
the next episode was about the election night of one of the episodes. There
were potential issues with someone affected the votes by saying someone had it
in the bag before votes were cast. But then he helped this person, his wife, by
hosting a last minute rally to prevent votes from happening. I doubt that’s legal
and hope that is has not ever happened in the history of any country. How would
you rectify such a mistake? They also talk about the abortion issue in the
episode. I’ll always be pro-life in most cases.
Back to movie updates. The
Best Years of Our Lives was watched on Sunday and replaced by Bambi. On Monday,
Back to the Secret Garden was watched and replaced by Bend it Like Beckham. On
Tuesday, The Land before Time was watched and replaced by National Treasure. On
Friday, Vantage Point was watched and replaced by Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.
Now, I’m going to finally talk
about the 2019 Kentucky governor race. Matt Bevin is the incumbent and a
Republican. It took him a while to announce that he’ll be in the race. It might
be the reason that there are a lot of other Republicans in the race. Something
notable about Matt is that he is changing running mates this time around. Matt
seems to have a bunch of strange views on things. He did challenge Mitch
McConnell when Mitch last ran for reelection. I think that Matt might be a
populist. I found it a bit funny when he ran back in 2015 that I largely only
saw negative commercials for him with a few positive and none that talked about
the other candidate in the race and he won. This didn’t help Judy Bar Topika
win the election for Illinois governor in 2006.
There are currently three
other Republicans running for governor as well. Robert Goforth is a state rep,
Ike Lawrence once ran for mayor of Lexington, and William Woods once ran for the
Kentucky House of Representatives. I could find barely any info on any of these
people. Still, if I had to endorse one of these four people for the governor
race, I’d go with Robert Goforth.
Now let’s get to the Democrats
in the race. Rocky Adkins is the current minority leader of the Kentucky State
House of Representatives. Andy Beshear is the attorney general of Kentucky and
son of a former governor of the state. Adam Edelen is a former auditor of
sorts. Geoff Young has run for office a lot and was even once part of the Green
Party at one point. I don’t know much about the candidates, but I will say that
Andy Beshear is the best choice from this party.
I’m going to get to a more
updated election schedule again. I don’t know all the dates for sure. What I
have listed for 2020’s elections might only apply to presidential races and not
other statewide races, so I can only hope to have something more concrete
listed in the future when I know things for sure.

You might have heard about the
recent news that was released about Joni Ernst, the junior senator from Iowa.
It has come out that she was raped at least once. While you may have noticed
her on my rotation of people who I’m counting down until their election in 2020,
I’ve decided that out of respect for her over this news that she didn’t want
out there, I won’t be focusing on trying to get rid of her. I may yet change my
mind on this, but won’t for at least a year after I mentioned her in my
rotation.
Also, note that if you see me
mention politicians that aren’t up for reelection until 2022 or 2024, they are
currently placeholders until after the 2020 elections has taken place when they
might be replaced by other politicians up for reelection that year.
Speaking of 2020, I might have
a certain way that I’ll do updates on the presidential race. I might go back
and forth between posting about the Democratic side of things and the Republican
side. But I might not have a Republican race to keep track of if no one other
than Trump is in the race. I don’t know yet what I will do as a result.
Since you’ve seen random
updates of this blog because not enough posts in my TV blog caused this to be
updated instead, you might wonder what I should do since I do annually themed
posts in that blog. Well, maybe from this point forward, I should discontinue
blog posts that aren’t well read. I also wonder if I should discontinue
political posts should I update my Good Wife blog in case any of those weren’t
as well read in this blog. But I don’t know yet whether or not I will. I
especially don’t want to get rid of any posts that I feel have become
trademarks of my TV blog.
After John McCain died, it
seemed like there would be ongoing issues with his seat. For one, it seemed
that there wasn’t enough time to put the special election to replace his seat
with the 2018 elections like maybe it should have been. Losers of the primary
for Jeff Flake’s seat could just run in that election or losers of the regular
2018 senate election could run in the special election if it was done later. Here
is where we get to some of the issues with the seat.
John McCain’s replacement
decided to resign before the new Congress would start. A Democrat had won the
regular election and the Republican she beat was then appointed to the vacant
seat. That sounds messed up and has to be controversial. I cannot imagine that
a Democrat could have been appointed and gotten away with it.
With all of this talk about
the Russia investigation, people are quick to point out that it seems it will
not ever link back to Trump, even though that doesn’t discredit all of the
people who have yet been found guilty of the probe or pleaded that way. I never
thought that the investigation would link back to a new found person: Mitch
McConnell. I can only hope that this damages him, although this doesn’t make me
a good person, now, does it? Well, I have a bunch of links about this story.
There once was a man named
Mitch
Who might have had a hitch
When it came to Russia
He sure tried to crush a
Story putting his party in a
ditch
Before I get any further, I
should mention that I might not do Daily Kos that much as I don’t feel that it
is as good a source to bring up a lot of the time. I’ll try to find better
sources if and when I can. Sure, they do have good stories from time to time
that are written well. But, more often than not, they just have some sort of
blatant slant to their stories and if I want to share them, I might as well
post that warning that they just aren’t as good as I would like them to be,
even though there may not be anything else that I find on the subject in
question.
On Sunday, I was able to see
two movies. First, I rolled the choice that I had on the list the longest.
After I saw The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, I replaced it with Pleasantville.
Then, I used another scab list to watch Toy Story and replaced it with Toy
Story 2. I hope that I can see the original trilogy before the next installment
comes in June.
On Monday, Rush Hour 2 was
watched and replaced by Mr. Bean’s Holiday. On Tuesday, Rogue One was watched
and replaced by Raising Arizona. I might share some videos about that movie in
the future to compliment what I shared about it in my Elementary blog. The last
movie that I was able to see before spending the weekend away from home was
Fireproof on Friday that was then replaced by Flight of the Phoenix. I didn’t
have time for a movie on Saturday or Sunday. I wouldn’t have gone with one from
my list on Sunday anyways if I did have time to watch a movie then.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with a flashback to 1983. Talking Heads is on the
speakers that people are listening to. It is the song Burning Down the House so
that might be some important thing relating to the episode. People are waiting
for a meeting to happen between people and I forget where this is. There then
appears to be an explosion of sorts as the rebels decided to rebel on the
rebels, if I have that right.
Nicaragua might have a civil
war on its hands. That seems to be the country that is being focused upon this
episode. But Elizabeth, as usual, has a potential solution. It is likely that
it won’t work right away as other ways of doing it will work later. Russell
wants to look for a way to improve his image and Stevie is there for this
meeting as usual.
Henry wants to get through the
situation that someone he knows is going through. I missed what that was about
so can hopefully pick up what happened later. Blake, Jay, and Matt all have
different things to talk about that I can’t quite follow well. Elizabeth talks
to Ming who never seems to help with anything until he does want to. Why is he
on this show? Is it just some sort of foil that’s badly written most of the
time? And what does China have to do with Nicaragua in this episode? A video
shows that missionaries from America are barricaded in a church in Nicaragua
saying that the Nicaraguan president is a killer, but I miss some of the details
of what’s going on as usual. I’ve had a long day.
In segment two, we got back to
the flashback storyline. What is this, Arrow? The two men from earlier go into
a place to talk about what happened. These people are talking to a young Conrad
about this. We learn of the death of the president in the past and its effects
on what is going on. It might not be Conrad in the flashback, but is probably
him as they mentioned a Mr. Dalton.
Conrad learns about Russia’s
interest in Nicaragua while Elizabeth looks for another solution. The person
who is the current president of Nicaragua (I need to know names!) is ready to
commit mass murder. It seems that Russell, who is now on twitter, doesn’t want
to do much right now. Rebecca, who is part of the people in danger of dying
(there’s probably a better name that I don’t know of offhand), posts a new
video on the situation. A friend of possibly Alison’s freaks out other the
situation, but I can’t tell who this friend is or why she is there.
Elizabeth talks to someone
about what’s going on. This is the son of the president who had issues when his
mother was killed that relates to the flashback storyline of some sort. I am
not at all focused on this like I should be. I’m really tired. This son doesn’t
want a deal and Elizabeth wants to know about what happened in the past that
caused the first civil war in Nicaragua.
In segment three, Elizabeth
talks to her husband about important things as usual. He mentions whatever
seemingly unimportant thing he has going on. Elizabeth talks to Ming some more
about the issues and she does not get much of anything yet. Russell winds up
with a lot of stuffed pandas due to it being revealed that he is into a live
feed of a panda from a zoo. He needs to be sure that he’s thought of as tough
and succeeds in scaring Stevie a whole lot.
It turns out that the random
woman is related to the McCords, maybe, and is stressed out about being a medic
for the military. But the guy who was almost the lead of Back to the Future is
able to help her by saying how all she needs is sleep to avoid staying being
stressed. She can actually sleep easier than I can because stress can cause me
not to sleep which in turn causes me stress. There are more issues with what is
going on with the Nicaraguan situation.
In segment four, we return to
1983 in Nicaragua. Someone is possibly kidnapped. He explains how the US is
accidentally responsible for what happened. He mentions that he will never
negotiate a solution after the attempted assassination of himself that was not
intended to happen. Conrad feels bad about what happened even though he was
there back then. While the dictator then stepped down, it is hard not to feel
as if things are repeating themselves. Russell appears in a photo with one of
his stuffed panda bears. Conrad then goes meeting the son of this person and
possibly current leader.
In segment five, Conrad talks
about what happened and whoever this leader is and there seems to be a solution
that was met. Issues seem to be okay after the father of the current president
meets about the situation and it was the grandson of someone and I cannot
pretend that I’m into this episode as well as I should be. I might need a power
nap. Russell talks to Stevie about how she was able to save the day and a vote
was able to be passed. Some random little girl is there, but I don’t quite
understand who she is or why she is there.
On the next Madam Secretary, a
girl of some sort causes issues that I missed. I got drained today. Sorry about
that. The next episode won’t be until two weeks from now. The Oscars are on and
I don’t know if they will be hostless or get someone at the last minute. I
don’t know if I’ll care about it or not. It will all depend on if I like
whoever hosts or not. I’ll be back then with the next blog post. For now, this
is Adam Decker, signing off.
