2030 election? Electoral votes 2024-  Forecast in 2030-  A repub vote total without Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada will be 276. It turns out you can't keep telling your residents to fuck off and expect them to stay. They will simply move to better places to live.... |

I have a strange interest in understanding the details of how mass deportation and border security will work. what is the target number? how will the deportees be identified and found? how will they be transported? what are the stages? Wil there be interim deportation camps? what countries will agree to receive deportees and under what conditions? what do we do with Chinese and Muslim migrants and other migrants for which the home country will refuse return? will some country step up to provide an oversees holding camp, i.e. a prison where deportees are placed until we can find a final destination for them? what changes will occur in the first sixth months of Trump's administration to seal the border (I understand 100% prevention is unatainable)? |

Salon owner jailed for refusing to shutter her business during COVID lockdown wins seat in state legislatureA Texas woman jailed for operating her salon despite COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns is moving from the big house to the state house. Shelley Luther was ordered to jail for seven days in 2020 after Dallas County judge found her guilty of civil and criminal contempt of court, according to Fox 4 Dallas. Luther had refused to shutter the business during lockdown. She was only released from jail after the personal intervention of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Now, however, she’s moving to the Lone Star state legislature, where she was elected this week to represent the northeast 62d district. Luther, a Republican, defeated Democrat Tiffany Drake with roughly 75% of the vote. “After about a month, my hairstylist were calling me saying I can’t feed my kids, I don’t know what to do, so we just made the decision to open back up, and I ended up in jail,” Luther told Fox and Friends. “I wasn’t super political before any of this, but I’m like, you know, somebody has to do something about this. And so we ran for our first office shortly after that.” Host Rachel Campos-Duffy noted that during the pandemic, some salons were allowed to stay open — specifically those which catered to Democratic leaders like then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot. nypost.com/2024/11/09/us-news/texas-woman-jailed-during-covid-elected-to-state-legislature/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=nypost

Government ordering the shutdown of private SMB's will NEVER be 'prudent'! |

We didn’t know what would happen if people went about their daily lives during Covid..... Having someone shutter their business was the prudent thing to do at the time, until we learned what we were dealing with. Kind of a point. It's true that at the outset we knew little. Within 60 maybe 90 days we had data points to understand. Clearly the last days of Trump's admin was a cluster-fuck and the first 8 to 10 months under Biden were even worse. We look to the Black Death in 14th Century France for guidance. Half of Paris died in short order. So many people died that peasants had their choice of vacant homes. There weren’t enough farmers to feed the remaining population. Remnants of farming families starved to death. They failed to learn the lesson from history. Fourteen hundred years earlier, they protected from Leprosy by isolating the victims on islands. |

Always err on the side of overprotection until you know more about the outbreak and can relax restrictions based upon knowledge gained, The French thought that people who lived a lifestyle contrary to Christ got malaria!
