THE SUPREME COURT RULING: ELECTION DEADLINES

 Yea, I gave it away - this case involves a loss in 2022 in the state of Illinios (imagine that) where a couple of Republicans running for office - so it wasn't just one person, it was at least 2 effected - who felt they were harmed by the IL law which said ballots could be counted for up to 2 WEEKS AFTER the actual election date, in particular, those which came in via USPS mail (aka Absentee ballots).

Well - it seems the plantiff's (Republicans) were found not to have standing - that is they didn't have a leg to stand on.  In fact, the state board of Appeals found they had "self inflicted wounds" by needing to keep staff for those additional 2 weeks while all the ballots were counted.

Yes - in outher words, just accept the fact that IL is rigged against you and move on.  (Eye Roll Here) ... 

Well I hadn't heard about this case on ANY news channel, yet (I

m behind this week) but instead, it was an episode of Facts Matter on YouTube.

Here's the episode in which they talk about the Supreme Courts take on it ... Wow is all I have to say.


Just Wow.

HAVE YU EVER NOTICED???

 Cardinals and Bluejays look exactly alike, just different colors? Is one just embarrassed and the other always cold?

Live is the reverse of Evil?

Just a bit of humor ... I will update this fairly regularly ... I hope.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ON THE NEWS?? i DIDN'T .... NOT EVEN FOX!

 Okay ... so, if you are like me - and trust me, I am so much this way - you spend your day working by your computer, and you have YouTube playing as background sound.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!  Let's hope Newsome never runs for PRESIDENT - I'd hate to think of this on a national level.

So I was listening to one such item when I was "shopping" on line - window shopping really, I hardly ever actually pay for anything these days - when it caught my attention ...

California - one of our largest econmic areas - is having a bit of an issue ....

NO FOOD

Yes, you have read that correctly - the Preppers in California are going "SEE?" to the rest of the state right now - and every other Prepper is going "Damn!"

You need to watch this video - then in a couple days, I will put up a post with my feelings on it all.

REPORTS OF 12,000 DEAD ... IN IRAN ... BY FORMER PRINCE OF IRAN ...

 Yeah, I thought I had better put in where this information came from ... because the "official" numbers - from Bret Braer on Fox News, it was 3,000 - 4,000+ .... can we just say between 3,000-4,000?

According to the former crown prince - I want to say he was the son of the Shah of Iran, but I'm not really sure at this point - they are killing people and then charging their families in order to get the bodies back (it's supposed to pay for the bullet that killed them)

WOW - they say this sort of thing about China ... but this is the first time I've heard about it about Iran.

Don't get me wrong - Iran is a horrible place.

I was in 11th grade when the hostages were taken .... 10th or 11th, but I can't remember if it was at the beginning or the end of the year - I remember we had two foreign exchange students - one from Spain and the other from somewhere in the middle east (Yani, I still remember his name) and shortlly after it happened he was ... gone.  I remember him being in class until break - then - POOF- he was simply gone.

I suspect he was sent back to whichever country he came from ... but I don't really know.

I remember the 1980 elections - I was in 12th grade and I remember the next day when I found out Reagan had won - I was so excited (Carter was a horrid President) and I remember asking one of my teachers if she had voted yesterday, and she said yes, and I said "Isn't it great?" and she said "Oh did you like Reagan?" .... I didn't know it at the time but I don't think she liked him very much.

Well, neither did the Iranians - the moment he took the oath, they let the plane carrying the hostages GO .... they weren't going to mess with him - no way, no how

The Iranians today are again, looking for Freedom - it's an vague concept that is recognized the world=round ... someplaces don't even have a name for it - but they will know it when they see it.

I doubt they will go back to a monarchy ... and somehow, I don't think the religious leaders won't want to give up their power either ... and there is a parliamentary government of sorts ... we will have to see what will happen.

More on this story will be coming - I've got some quotes/posts to share.

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE!!

 Okay - I know this is going to cause a lot of "discussions" out there ... if your family is like mine, likely very LOUD discussions will be taking place ....

And while there is on one main video out there - taken from a second or third floor window, and across the street ... you need to really look at that video to see much of anything - there's a TREE in the way, there are parked cars in the way, the camera moves away to follow a different car which was impeding the ICE agaents .... but THIS video shows a much better angle of what happened ...

It was took on the same level as the incident (I'm not judging), and it shows more of what actually happened - nothing really blocking anything, except the car as it pulls away.

My husband is convinced she did hit the cop - I'm not so sure ... I know he had a limp afterwards, I know he was seen at the hospital, and I know he is "spending time with his family" according to Noem.

But - here's the clip ... warning: you may find it a bit graphic.

This was shone on "Outnumbered" this afternoon (Jan. 7th)



 I agree with Joe Schucheray (I'm shure I spelled that wrong) ... we have to give this thing at least 48 hours ... I'm going to say likely more like 96 hours.

I also heard, that the officers did NOT have their BodyCameras ON for some reason ... it will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next week or so.

LET'S HOPE PEOPLE LEARN THIS TIME!!!!

 This is an election year - well, 2026 - and the Governor of MINNESOTA is up for election for a THIRD TERM .... there hasn't been a3 term governor in my iolifetime .... and I hope it DOESN'T HAPPEN THIS TIME EITHER

Why?

Well - I found this on YouTube .... I am so glad they posted it there ... but since I don't want to lose it, I am going to post it here.

It is from a local station in the Twin Cities ... KARE-11 ... an NBC affiliate!  I am totally shocked!



All I can say is .... wow! just wow!

But according to Gov. Walz - he's just a "knuckle-head" but he's proud of the arrests he's made.

Sir - YOU haven't made ANY arrests ... the Police (who you are trying to get rid of, btw) made the arrests.

Nor did you do any CONVICTIONS ... you never even touched these cases ...

Accept to SIGN THE LAW which allowed this scam to happen in the first place ....

as well as so many other programs which have FLEECED the tax-payers of the State of Minnesota.

i WILL BE GONE FOR A BIT ....

 I hate my computer ... well, not really ... I have shorted out ANOTHER charger - hubby said it was the last one .... 

So this may be the last post for quite a while ....

I kind of miss the old days, when hubby would give me the newer stuff so I could "test drive" the durability part of things.

But - now - I get the leftovers after he updates .... maybe.

So - I don't know when I will be back.

But boy will I have a LOT to say!
