Antique Questions Forum / Was this a preview of the results of the2020 General Election in your locale?

« on: September 13, 2020, 12:25:31 pm »

A self-described "transexual Satanist anarchist" has won the Republican nomination for the sheriff’s job in Cheshire, N.H. -- a victory she says proves “the system is utterly and hopelessly broken.”

Aria DiMezzo, who ran with the campaign slogan “F*** the Police” and says she had expected to lose to a write-in candidate …… She garnered 4,211 votes, easily beating a traditional candidate who received only a few hundred votes, election results show.

"I’m running for sheriff because I oppose that very system, and the sheriff has the most hands-on ability in Cheshire County to oppose that system,” she said. “The system that let you down by allowing me -- the freaking transsexual Satanist anarchist -- be your sheriff candidate is the same system I’m attacking. I’m sorry, and I know it hurts to hear, but that system is a lie.

“The entire thing is a lie. It’s broken from beginning to end, and my existence as your sheriff candidate is merely how this reality was thrown into your face,” she said.

Coronavirus Pandemic Statistics as reported on https://www.foxnews.com/

World’s estimated population: … 7,800,000,000 billion
U.S.’s estimated population: ……… 331,002,651million = 4.24% of world’s population

World confirmed Covoid-19 cases: … 23,930,649
World confirmed Covoid-19 deaths: …… 820,286 = 3.42% of world’s confirmed deaths

U.S. confirmed Covoid-19 cases: …… 5,780,141
U.S. confirmed Covoid-19 deaths: ……. 178,535 = 3.08% of US’s confirmed deaths

World confirmed Covoid-19 cases: … 23,930,649
U.S. confirmed Covoid-19 cases: …….. 5,780,141    =  24.10% of world’s confirmed cases

World’s confirmed Covoid-19 deaths: … 820,286           
U.S.’s confirmed Covoid-19 deaths: …… 178,535    = 21.76% of world’s confirmed deaths


Does anyone think the above statistics are quite remarkable due to the fact that the United States only has 4.24% of the world’s estimated population …… but has 24.10% of the world confirmed Covoid-19 cases ……. and 21.76% of the World’s confirmed Covoid-19 deaths?

It has brass lion feet and can seat about 12 people.

"HA", the problem is, ........ now days, .... 97% of all apartments & mobile home, ........ and 87% of all "stick-built" homes ....... do not have a dining room large enough to seat 12 people at a table.

OK, thats just weird...
Why Cogar?

Because you wouldn't want to use an awake pig.

An awake pig, in an OR, probably wouldn't lie still while you were getting your lungs replaced.

Something has to be "breathing" for you ...... when you can't be doing it yourself.

“HA”, ….. looks to me like it may have begun “life” in a bucket of water where “leftover” melted bronze was being poured …… after the mold(s) had been filled up.

A safe way to dispose of the excess until a “new” pour is done.

I found mention of the “1619 Project” …. in this Fox report, to wit:
 
Deroy Murdock: NYT's family ties to slavery, Confederacy, Jim Crow confirm paper's hypocrisy

NEW YORK — From high above the sidewalks of New York, America’s so-called “Paper of Record” peers down its nose with condescension at the nation whose news it deems “fit to print.”

It sees this country as a giant slave ship turned superpower that surges racism into every conceivable crevice in Earth’s crust. It slams America’s Founding Fathers who owned slaves; hammers New York Life Insurance, SUNY New Paltz, Georgetown University (my alma mater), and other institutions for their historical slave holdings, and even whacks President Abraham Lincoln for his “reluctant and late” signature on the Emancipation Proclamation.

As the New York Post’s Michael Goodwin observed, “The chief media cheerleader for the chaos unfolding across the nation…routinely eviscerates America’s heroes, its culture and, through the paper’s 1619 Project, its founding.”
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/new-york-times-family-history-hypocriscy-deroy-murdock


And a further search found this, to wit:

The 1619 Project is an ongoing project developed by The New York Times Magazine in 2019 with the goal of re-examining the legacy of slavery in the United States and timed for the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first Africans in Virginia.

Is “Cancel Culture” what your "1619" was in reference to “in need of contending with”?

To wit:

Today, university campuses are the locus of a new, and sadly misguided movement, the Anti-Free Speech Movement. Some refer to it as “Cancel Culture”, which is ill-defined, but in essence, by whatever name, it is a movement spurred by the pernicious idea that one group of people should be able to dictate what other people are allowed to say, what opinions they are allowed to express, what they can write and the very words they are allowed to speak.  Writers and speakers that do not fit into a very narrow window of what is deemed “acceptable” by the Twitter-mobs are shouted down, dis-invited, slandered, libeled, subjected to calls for dismissal from their employment and have their very lives threatened.

Sad for Australia.....but we've got "1619" to contend with.

No idea what "1619" was in reference to, ...... but in educational reality, ...... this is the major problem that US public education has to resolve, to wit, .... excerpted commentary published today:

Thomas Sowell: Black and minority lives would improve if politicians supported charter schools

Some of us think schools should be student-oriented. And official statistics show that students in charter schools in Harlem and other low-income minority communities in New York City pass the statewide mathematics tests at a rate more than 6 times the rate at which traditional public school students, housed in the same buildings, pass the same test.

Why then is Biden against charter schools? Because the teachers unions are against charter schools. And, unlike Black voters, teachers unions -- with millions of members who vote and millions of dollars to donate as political campaign contributions -- do not automatically give their support to either political party, without getting something big in return.

In New York City, there are more than 50,000 students on waiting lists to get into charter schools.  If they transfer to charter schools, in a city where per-pupil expenditures exceed $20,000 a year, that means a transfer of more than a billion dollars a year from traditional public schools to charter schools.

And with the new regime will be "re-education" indoctrination camps for "certain" people, then death camps for those who disagree.

Yeah, depressing.

You got that right, ……and Professor Peter Ridd who was sacked by James Cook University for speaking scientific truths will require a lot of "re-education" indoctrination if he has any hope of ever getting employed again.

And Peter Ridd is just one of thousands that have been fired ........ plus the millions that have "squatted and asked what color"......... just to protect their jobs.

Mart, ….. my “why and wherefore on” the reason …… “I am mad as hell”, ….. is surely the same as yours is.

As a matter of fact, …… “I am mad as hell” ….. that our elected politicians, over the past 40 years, have permitted the lefty liberal, bleeding heart, Socialist believing “wackos” to take complete control of our Public School Systems …… which is the direct result of what is now occurring with the uncontrolled rioting, burning, looting and societal disruption in general, with the Rule of Law taking “backseat” to anything the ‘crazies’ want or demand.   

The US social pendulum has done swung too far off center to the “left” to ever swing back on its own, …. therefore, unless COTUS Law and Order soon takes control, ….. there will be lots more anarchy actions and “blood in the streets” before a “new” regime takes control and re-writes the Laws.
