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.
