November 17, 2020

They've increasingly been on the 'rules are for little people' tactic for a while but they don't even pretend anymore.  I noticed that with Obama, they just started repeating the same lines about "Fox News" when anybody disagreed with them and there was not even the slightest attempt at communication, much less convincing.  This is how a dictatorship works, repeating their mantras and shutting people up until there's a reason to order them outside.  That's why I've suspected for a while that the virus nonsense was encouraged to let them impose their will upon everybody else.

What makes them do this?  Last night I had the idea that this is what made Chris Claremont's X-Men so influential, the left behaves like the human characters but pretend they're homo superior.  They're violent, they're hateful, they're willing to destroy the society they intend to rule and claim to be persecuted.

I'm trying to think of a way to extend this metaphor because where else would I go other than Claremont's X-Men?  The "Phoenix Saga" would be the most obvious example but I can't think of any specifics other than Claremont, John Byrne and Jim Shooter having no idea what they were getting into they were well into the process.  X-Men hadn't even been selling enough to become monthly until several issues into Byrne's run although it was critically acclaimed before he became penciller which must have been part of it.  The follow-up "Days of Future Past" would have built on it as was the introduction of the Hellfire Club.

I would have to site the first storyline as where it happened.  Claremont probably had nothing to do with Giant-Sized X-Men except read it after Len Wein and Dave Cockrum finished it, although in 1987 he did claim he was present at the plotting session and gave the idea of how to beat the villain.  Wein plotted the next two-part story and then gave the title to Claremont, I assume to script after Cockrum brought in the pencils.  It was a straightforward 1970s superhero comic, mainly notable for killing one of the heroes, Thunderbird.  I'm looking through the issues now and to this day I'm mindboggled by how simplistic the stories are.

The follow-up issue was Claremont's first total issue, following the simple theme but adding Moira McTaggert and spending over two pages on a subplot which would get developed over the next few years but then just vanish.  It also had a mystical scene which works in context - Xavier trying to mind-scan the invading demon - but makes me wonder if Claremont's interests in magic were involved here.  That's something the left always goes back to, isn't it?

#97 started the storyline as we know it.  The writing is already better, there are clearly things going on which never get explained - why did Eric the Red go after Lorna in the first place and how did he know about her when he admitted to having never heard of Alex? [I can call them Alex and Lorna, we're tight like that] and the subplots begin.  Eric the Red has turned Havoc and Polaris evil for some reason, a panel shows someone watching this scene on video and someone watching the watcher on video.  There's a fight that leads to no conclusions.

Then there's the three-part Sentinels followed by the appearance of Phoenix and a two-part change of direction of the storyline, Then Magneto returns, then the subplots that have been appearing in each issue build to the cosmic characters getting together, a one-off fill-in issue plotted by Claremont and scripted by Bill Mantlo that never went anywhere, finally the two-parter that ended the storyline, Phoenix saving the universe.

Looking through it now, regardless of my reading problems, I'm still impressed by how each part was full of stuff, character building and subplots in addition to the generic fight scenes.  It all built to a cosmic finale in the way while providing one basic story after another.  Flipping through this Essential Version and the next one, the series continued along these lines.  There would start to be more subplots that never went anywhere but most did and the next storyline gave the X-Men some individual attention and wound up with them going around the world and being presumed dead.  It ended with them returning home though still considered dead by some people.  Then there was a short buildup to the Proteus story, followed by "Dark Phoenix" and then John Byrne's departure.  After that Claremont had to figure out what to do next and the series began the first of it's several major changes during his tenure.

This isn't helping me confirm that it's a major part of modern leftism but I think it is helping me try to limit the possibilities.  It had to have come from the first storyline because that did set the standards one way or another.  Before that, Claremont just wrote whatever title Marvel told him to and the X-Men were a third-rate title that had just gotten out of reprints for several years.  Comics sales were going down anyway and Marvel was trying to come up with ways to increase them, hence the Giant-Sized series.  The direct market had barely been born yet and I think that was where the series became really successful, helping regular customers and collectors.  It's out of this scope to consider how the left worked with Marvel itself (although one assumes they've been part of the recent movies), I'm just trying to figure out how the series itself fit in.

I do think it's related that Marvel rehired Claremont in the mid-late 90s and since then, he hasn't made much of any connection to the rest of the world.  He rarely does interviews and when he does, he only talks about whatever he's currently writing if there is anything or standard anecdotes of his X-Men run, never any unknown details or secrets.  My guess is that they pay him to be quiet for the rest of his life because he was in too deeply with... something.  Obviously that's where I run out of ideas.

Gotta say, there's times where I would love to just start writing fiction again, I think a lot about how to do a made-up history that would probably explain about as much as a "real" history, I just can't think of an actual story.

We're all just sitting and waiting. What's going to happen next?

□ [“CDC Lists 26,557 Heart Attacks as COVID Deaths, Lists 7,919 Accidents and Poisonings as COVID Deaths"]

Of course they're still pushing heavily on this virus nonsense, trying to keep people locked up longer and longer.  I have to wonder if this is all an organized plan or just multiple plans merging together when victory looks in sight.

They have help taking advantage of people by the weakening of humans in recent decades.  This has been noticed for a long time but there's never been such a push to use it for power as the left is now.  Now that I think about it, that's always been an obvious goal of communists for precisely that reason.  It's never happened on this scale because there's never been a society with this scale.

Oddly enough, I'm both becoming more confident that the leftists will be stopped and more worried that they won't.  The worry is obvious, there's still no sign of Trump or anyone else holding a winning hand.  I'll say it again, Biden could flat-out admit that all the votes for him are fake and the left wouldn't care.  They wouldn't listen to him, they'd just pretend to support him and go on with their long-established goals as they've been doing.

Even a confidence is limited to the knowledge of human nature and so what?  Russians are human too - I think, would someone look into that for me? - and they were trapped under leftist idols for 70 years.  The company behind these Dominion voting machines which apparently caused a lot of the fraud is from Venezuela who also does voting fraud and is worshiped by leftists.

Yeah, a lot of the point is to tear down people's resistance but that's just it, there's a a point where that tactic works and so far we're not any way to get around it.  If Trump had been working for the Democrats to set this up all along, how would it look differently now?  Would day after day pass with no change?  I've got enough problems in my life without seeing Biden+media act like he's already POTUS with nothing to stop him and no way to figure out how and others are probably in a similar situation.  If there's something we can do, we have to be told about it.

If 2020 were a piece of gum, it would be wintermint flavored. Ewwwwwww!!!

□ [“DC to Pull Out of Comic Shops?"]

I've been meaning to post this for a couple days but haven't gotten around to it.  It suggests DC is going to drop the monthly titles.  They'd be focusing on internet serials, then collections or larger anthologies.  Going to internet is a possibility but even there, I can't see how they'd make much money from ads or subscribers.  I could see encouraging the collections but the last notion came from Japan and hasn't really succeeded elsewhere.  [Now watch someone show that Europe has done it for decades or something like that.]

One of the main ways comics have always worked is by coming out on a regular basis.  We saw that with the daily newspaper strips and the Sundays.  It's really helped to only have to wait a month for the next story about favorite characters.  The comics stores helped further by not requiring people to go around searching for their preferred titles.  I don't see a benefit in dropping that ability that comes from our history.

It's also going to drop professionalism.  Getting work done and moving on to the next one has always been important in every art field.

It's also tough to see how this won't basically kill the comic store.  Obviously I don't know how things are set these days, but from what I used to know, Marvel probably wouldn't be enough to keep them going.  Some could probably last, assuming 2020 itself hasn't been bad enough - but by-in-large, that part of the medium would be gone.  Almost all of it would, except the corporate characters themselves, the ones that needed regular comics release to survive for all these decades.

I may not be posting as much this week.  I know every time I say that, I never stop, but it's always good to keep a 'heads up' in line.

□ [“Wolfgang Van Halen Dedicating His Debut Solo Single To His Late Father"]

This single should be out on Monday the 16th.  I assume I'll listen to it but wanted to write down what I was thinking about it beforehand.

Yeah, there are people complaining about it coming right after EVH's death, but I don't think much of that.  Brian May had started preparing to release his first solo album as Freddie Mercury was nearing death and was really bothered by that and wanted to put it off.  He talked to Queen's manager about it who brought the news to Freddie whose response was classic, "tell him he must release it, what better publicity could he have?"  Then there's Yoko immediately going back to work on a new solo album two days after her husband died.  Lennon had spent his last couple of weeks focusing on it and it was her biggest hit.  It's Yoko's biggest hit ever and the Brian May album is still one of my favorites of all time.

Anyway, I'm not bothered by Wolfgang's new release.  If nothing else, it's good to have something to focus on in times like these.  More importantly, he's never had much to focus on.  Born to monstrously-rich parents, there hasn't been much need to get into anything.  He's supposedly a talented multi-instrumentalist but there's little sign of that beyond playing bass in his father's band for one album and two tours and some with another band I can't name offhand.  Nothing has made his abilities stick out and he's been working on this album for at least five years.

That's not how long it takes to make a debut album when you live in a house with a professional studio.  At least not if you have any real desire to get work done.  I know he said something about having to keep the family going for the next generation but I can't find the quote.  I think it was around the time he joined in 2007.  He's turning 30 in a few months and Wikipedia says he's played on four studio albums in his life, drums or bass, not both.  His father had released 1984, his sixth album, shortly before turning 29.  Wolf started in Van Halen when he was sixteen, over half his life ago and hasn't demonstrated ability that people have an urge to hear.

Like I say, I'm sure I'll listen to the new song, but at this point I'm just expecting this new release to be generic hard rock.  But this is coming from the Axl Rose school of music and even Axl managed to get a few albums done before his 30th birthday, the only ones he's known for.

□ [“Pelosi Cancels ‘Super Spreader’ Dinner at Capitol After Backlash"]

It was leftists who were complaining.  One gets the impression that it's more about them turning on Pelosi than any actual objection to this fake virus and Nancy would never have tried to throw the party in the first place if she thought there was a dangerous virus out there.  Given that they want to cancel Thanksgiving, it's a little too obvious that their rules don't apply to them if they throw a party to celebrate their victory.

Oh wait...

□ [“Pelosi: I Never Said Democrats Were Going To Pick Up Seats"]

She did say "Democrats are poised to further strengthen our majority" on Election Day.  How, exactly, will they strengthen their majority without gaining seats?  The two go hand in hand.  I'm still not paying close attention to the news - which many Americans seem to be doing these days - but they might have even lost seats.  Does that make a stronger majority?  Is there a reason she isn't doing a better job answering questions?  Or is it just she doesn't have to?

One of the few things entertaining about 2020 is how Nancy's falling apart with these election results.  At some point they'll have to at least pretend that there are a lot of solid Republicans who would vote for everyone in their party except Trump but that leaves an obvious point that a lot of Democrats could vote for their party except for Biden.  Human nature would lead to that much diversity, except for the one political party that claims to be diverse?  Everybody's the same, no exceptions unless they're in charge?

I have to wonder if she's trying to be Ruth Ginsberg, stay right there until she's totally dead and let the left fight against any replacement.  That doesn't seem far away.

□ [“Progressives slam Nancy Pelosi’s ice cream stunt in election postmortem"]

There are people trying to work out what percentage of live votes went to Trump or Biden compared to how the mail-in votes went and so far there seems to be a lot of difference between the two.  Of course that has to get through a judge and I assume they are mostly Democrats.

Of course the media is completely in on this.  It makes one wonder if that's the actual point, to push leftists as far as they can for the incoming Biden Presidency and then reality gets in the way and that's the actual start of the next civil war.  That actually sounds logical, they're already as far from reality as possible for them, such a thing would put them over the edge.

It's all part of Ringo's master plan!

□ [“Reclusive Yoko Ono, 87, hands over her business interests in The Beatles and John Lennon to their son Sean"]

Saw this a couple days ago but kept forgetting to post it.  I've been wondering for a while what Yoko was doing.  This article doesn't really help but at least it's news that she's old and sick although on what we don't know.

In February 2016, Yoko was hospitalized after suffering what was rumored to be a stroke, but she later said it was a severe flu.

How does a stroke get confused with the flu?  That doesn't sound logical.  Of course she's spent her entire live surrounded by massive wealth so she really has no idea what ordinary people are like, but she does like being in charge.  It's one of those things that most people can't even speculate how that work.  One assumes she's spent very little time around people who don't say what she wants to hear.

I suspect she's a major reason for what's happened to the world in the last 50 years, but to be fair, if she and John had never met, something else would have happened.  The 20th century seems to have been built for what's going on these days and we haven't reached the bottom yet.

□ [“THE HOOD INTERNET presents 1990"]

It's been a couple of months since I checked these youtube videos, but it seems they added a few more years.  Now they go up through 1994.

It's very interesting how they combine fragments of songs and videos to create these and I enjoy them immensely, at least from the early-90s.  But my interest in popular music started dropping early.  I'm listening to these videos again as I write this but at the moment, I don't recall recognizing songs from 1994, even ones I know I've heard like Nirvana's cover of David Bowie's "Man Who Sold the World."  There was a little more from 1993 but even there most of the recognition I had was from the videos themselves, not the music.

The videos are great.  They put together clips from the originals very well and generally it all looks like everybody's having a party, not a highly intellectual concept description but it's very well done visually.  Musically I quite like how they're generally aiming at pop songs, not focusing on hard rock etc. too much unless they were genuine hits.  There's too much rap music for my taste though, that's one of the reasons I left pop music.  Nirvana and Pearl Jam were the other reasons, it was obviously where things were going.

I don't know if I'll see many future videos.  At least I paid enough attention to recognize most of the stuff from the early-90s, later on I'd be lucky to recognize one or two songs from a given year.  I just had to look up what year Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman brought us Bat out of Hell II and it turns out to be 1993, so I guess it wasn't even mentioned in that year's video.  Dammit.

Even there, I will complain how a lot of song references only appear to be in the video itself and it's impossible to tell if they're citing the actual songs.  There's so much editing being done that it may be just a bassline or drumbeat, modified to the point that it's unrecognizable.  The 1990 video even has Slash playing on guitar and I had no idea what song it was even though I knew I'd seen it countless times.  [Turned out to be "Knocking on Heaven's Door"]  It's stuff like that which can make the overall track fail when you can tell you know the reference but cannot place it.

It also goes both ways on how they focus on music or vocals.  In some ways it might be better if they just picked a few of the singers and went back and forth between them while the music ran across the year's hit songs and grew in a dramatic fashion, almost making a new music.  But perhaps that would have been too hard.  And maybe it was just because 1994 was the least-familiar, but I liked the way it seemed to mostly focus on the music.  But even there, it's just moving from one section to the next, A to B to C with no real connection other than because they claim it does.

1991 is probably my favorite and seems closer to a song, focusing on Mariah Carey singing and the guitar riff from Michael Jackson's "Black or White" on the first 'verse,' then switching to Tom Petty, building to a bridge and then REM for the final verse although I only recognize the video and not any part of the song from "Losing My Religion."  Oh well just wonderful to see/hear it all again.

1992 had a few great moments, most especially building up to Whitney Houston for a climax.  I also loved how drums from one song backed up En Vogue singing, I loved the part that had the Annie Lennox "Walking on Broken Glass" music backing up other songs.  Then there was Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's entry which reminded of me of how I stopped listening to pop.  They even used the edited version of "Nuthin But a 'G' Thang" which is especially pointless, although granted MTV wouldn't have played the real version.

1993 had stuff I recognized but almost none of it had stuck with me all these years.  Ace of Base's "The Sign" was about the best it came there.  I did like the last minute or so which just sounded like happy music, even blurred together like this.  And they did use a couple brief clips from a Meat Loaf video so there's something.

1994 had almost nothing I knew.  One song I recognized and according to the list, there's an Elton John song that I know very well but I didn't even recognize the video, much less the song.  There's a Seal song for a Batman movie that I know I've seen but didn't catch a thing.  I did hear a soft guitar with Nirvana which must have been the Bowie cover, so there's that, but it's it.  I did like how the music mixed and moved along although perhaps it was my lack of memory of the works that made me enjoy that for what it was.

I had left pop music after that for the most part.  There were some times in the next decade where I would listen to it but not many.  My interest was clearly headed towards rock music that was around before I was born, or at least made by bands who were formed.  It's clearly where my interest remains.  I noticed a few years ago that I can tolerate Country music, but not by much.  The only exception there is Johnny Cash and he's been dead for almost 20 years.  That's not how a musical genre gets fans.

A few years ago, I put together a bunch of songs that I had on computer to create "My favorites."  I still find that's worked really well, I can just link on a bunch of songs and listen to them all.  It's not from my complete collection but most of that is on CDs I haven't touched in many years, now that computers don't even have a way to play them.  But most of it is rock and pop, the majority of it older than me.  And that's the way it should be.

What little I've heard of the recent court decisions seems good but I'm still worried that the left has taken the entire system.  I've heard Trump making a statement today about some medical shot for the virus and he didn't sound good.  And virtually none of us have any options.  I've heard that there are few attempts for Trump supporters to publicly demonstrate in DC, sounds good but how many of us can get there.  I would if it were nearby but obviously I couldn't get there in less than a few days.  What else is there?

One thing I've been thinking about recently was Woodrow Wilson, the first outright socialist to be in the Presidency.  I've never studied his work deeply, I did use to know the basic details but it's been a long time and obviously I've got my memory problems.  As much as anything, I'm writing this as a note to look into it.  Because I do know he truly believed in ignoring the Constitution and creating a non-elected elite who would make all the decisions for their subjects and have to wonder how much of the Democratic Party for the last century has been following his example.  It would explain a lot.

Which they entirely supported all along, but now they feel the need to pretend they actually care about their victims.  I don't really get how this newspaper has kept going for so long with stuff like this.  Historical reputation goes a long way but we can see how that eventually falls.  Look at how many Democrats Nancy Pelosi has decide to take pictures off the House walls in the last year, just as Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger get removed even as their goals are still being followed.

The world is nearing a time of great distress. And yet we have no cookies. Someone Must Pay!!!

I think we're all just taking up the days, waiting for something to happen.  The left is of course convinced that they've won.  Trump has finally started making a few oblique remarks about an upcoming surprise.  I don't mind that they're oblique, I'm just annoyed that he didn't do this a week or two ago.

I've been wondering how they're going to treat Thanksgiving.  I don't think a lot of people will go along with that but I also doubt that there'll be much punishment for those who disobey.  Nor will there be media coverage.  Obviously they want to destroy American holidays but that may be a long-term goal while securing their power would be more immediate.  Controlling the media would be a more important component of that security than one random Thanksgiving.  This would be more about proving that they can give the commands and no one can stop them, forcing obedience will be next.

In other news, DC comics has been undergoing large changes over the last few months.

□ [“The Red Honeymoon at DC Comics"]

Partially I'm sure it's because the comics industry is in such horrible shape but I also assume that it's part of a larger plan for AOL/Time-Warner to restructure itself for the upcoming decades.  They've obviously been completely failing to make their characters into something people want to pay attention to and can't do it with comics, so...

What I found most interesting about the list of people getting fired is that I've never heard of any of them, even if they've been at DC for a couple decades.  I'm amazed to how little attention I've paid to the business aspect in so long.  Obviously I was never part of it myself but still...  The only name that even rung a bell for me was Stuart Schreck, sales manager for 21 years, because his last name was that of a previous editor, Bob Schreck.  He edited at Dark Horse, or at least was "special projects director" for Frank Miller and John Byrne, then spent two years founding a company, Omni (which got some more Miller comics) and left in 1999 to work at DC.  That's 21 years ago, are they the same person?  Related?

From what I could find, they aren't the same person.  Wikipedia says Bob left DC in 2009 and he's been deputy director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund since.  It also says he has a husband, suggesting what a marriage to Diana Schutz does to a person.  But that doesn't say Bob and Stuart aren't related, I just can't find any details one way or the other.  Wikipedia also says he had been getting offers from DC for a decade before he took them up on it which does make more sense.  Did he have a brother/cousin/nephew on the inside to help him take the offer?  Was giving this guy a job one of the requirements for accepting?  Both of them are from New York although I can't find specifics on state or city.  Bob is from Levittown on Long Island, a big Manhattan suburb.  His husband is "Randy" so that's not Stuart.  Assuming we can trust Wikipedia.

Anyway, that's a hint (that can't be proved) of the sort of interactions people can have which is far beyond leftists.  And I get to think a bit about comics.  Given what else is going on my life these days, it's nice to have something I can still enjoy.

And one other pleasurable note, this morning I was able to order a proof copy of my next book, the fourth one in 2020.  I won't get it edited by the end of the year, but I really wanted a physical copy of the work just to show I could do it.

And so this is Veteran's Day and what have we done?

I'm feeling a little better although there's still no reason for it.  The left has a tendency to go straight for whatever they want and never make any backup plans but that doesn't mean they never do it or that they haven't been smart enough to do it this time.  Of course they're going to turn on each other, there's just no indication that they'll be doing it before taking control.

Black Lives Matter leaders have already announced that they're owed something for supporting Biden.  He'd give in no matter what but it is an example of their internal conflict.  They'll go after Nancy Pelosi but at her age, she might be willing to surrender regardless.  The ostensible "moderates" will claim to want unity, the left wants nothing of the kind, they want complete control.

It is clear that the voter fraud, under current rules, could only happen in big cities which coincidentally are run by Democrats.  The Constitution and the rules all depend on every other place being able to have a say, which is why only the Presidential election could be given fake votes, not Congress, the House or state elections.

So, as we've seen in Georgia so far, there are 95,801 votes that went for Biden and included no other candidates.  Apparently Trump got 818 Georgia votes the same way.  Biden got 2,376,081 votes that involved another candidate, Trump got 2,456,915, thus showing that he won the state just as in 2016.  Georgia kept one Senate Republican, the other is still pending and I don't pretend to understand how both senators from a state can be up for election in the same year, but anyway...  Democrats gained one House seat, every other seat stayed with the previous inhabiting party, usually the same person.  The state officers weren't up for election and I can't find how the state House or Senate won.  Still, they're all Republican, except for places like Atlanta which hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1879.

This is where I start thinking that the notion that all the evil racists magically went over to the Republican Party.  The people making that claim never agree on a year but they never seem to realize that what they're saying is that the Democratic Party said 'we've been totally wrong for all these decades and you should never have voted for us, now vote for us,' and they keep winning.  Do they think blacks are stupid enough to go along with that or do they just know how to keep blacks in their place, as they did all those previous decades?

Then there's the issue of votes for Trump that were changed to votes for Biden, or just flat-out taken out by the people whose job is counting the votes, all using the same computer counting system, Dominion.
Pennsylvania switched 220,883 votes and lost 941,248.
New Jersey switched 80,242 votes and lost 20.
Florida switched 21,422 votes and lost 456.
Michigan switched 20,213 votes and lost 21,882.
New York switched 18,124 votes and lost 623,213.
Georgia switched 17,407 votes and lost 33,574.
Ohio switched 14,965 votes and lost 5,102.
Virginia switched 12,163 votes and lost 789,023.
Notice the large amount of lost votes in some states, most of which still aren't contested.  At this point, I'm thinking New York would have been totally for Trump and New Jersey was probably added just in case as it has a few million voters total.

As I've said, this is what's so demoralizing about the whole experience and why my biggest issue is that we knew something like this was coming and, as far as we can see so far, Trump had nothing in place to deal with it.  Obama had men with guns standing around voting sites based on skin color fer pete's sake.

“Wait Until You See What’s Coming!” – President Trump Fires Warning Shot on Fraudulent Computer Voting Systems
November 10, 2020

I'm growing more depressed over the matter but for some unknown reason I am starting to think there's been a plan to stop the voter fraud all along.  It's becoming too obvious and the media is too clearly supporting it to be trusted.  Also, I've been working on my next book and, covering events from the last couple years, the fraud was in place for quite a while.  There's no way Trump and co. could have missed that.

Now this doesn't really help the matter now, there's still no sign that they're doing anything, much less that it'll work, but it's something.

They're going too far to steal everything.  The thing I worry about most is that they have their people in all the crucial places, the kind who will approve of dead people voting.

□ [“Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: 'There Will be a Smooth Transition to the Second Trump Administration'”]

Is it possible?  I'm sure it is, but is it likely?  That's what I don't know, nor does anybody else.  But the 70 or 90 or whatever millions of living people who voted aren't going to go along with what Democrats claim happened.  The left has spent the last few decades getting farther and farther away from reality, there's no reason to think that this is when they're magically correct.

□ [“Logan Act: Obama Hack Ben Rhodes Says Joe Biden is Already “Having Phone Calls” with Foreign Leaders About His Agenda"]

Well this is a given.  The whole group will unanimously assume Biden is President right now no matter what.  It's not like they care what the Constitution says.  The only real question is if they're doing it in a lust for power or if they're desperate to move as fast as possible before they get caught.  It would explain why 2020 has moved so quickly for everyone.

□ [“System ‘Glitches’ Favoring Democrats Are Becoming an Epidemic Across the Swing States – More Incidents Identified Today"]

As I've said, I think they took many ways, specifically to steal small votes instead of just dropping a few million fake votes at once.

The problem is that we still don't have a clue what to do about it.  Obviously Democrats aren't remotely concerned about the laws and they'll freely ignore Biden if he flat-out admits the fraud.  At this point, we're not going to have much faith in the legal system either, given that everything else has collapsed.  And obviously that's what the left wants, to pretend they won without anybody knowing the fraud, at least not more than we already do and they'll be totalitarian to stop us.

After all, they've spent the last several months insisting that the virus will kill millions upon millions of people.  I don't know how many people believed them but they sure believed themselves.

This is where I think only God can save us.  I still try to think that Trump and co. have a plan in motion but I don't see any way that can work.  Even if it does and he gets to stay President, I don't see the country going along with it.  We're too broken now.  Nancy Pelosi or someone would declare themselves the ruler and the left would follow them.  The right sure as hell won't follow Biden.

Note to self:

Just a note, something to go on about later, but Stan Lee was getting all the credit for the Marvel movies the same way he got all the credit for the comics.  Yeah, Jack Kirby's name is on most of them (or Steve Ditko's) but they don't get any attention at all.

I feel a little more confident than yesterday although there's obviously no reason to be sure.  There are rumors that Europe has been basically shut down, even internal borders are sealed.  The question is, how do we know that's not the EU advancing their own rule?  This would be the right time and the EU rulers would have worked things out with Democrats to do it.

I think there's no way Trump and co. could have avoided planning for this and if Trump has nothing else, he wants to win.  That's why this week has been so depressing.  You'd think he'd at least put out "It'll be ok" to keep his supporter's hopes up.  He got where he is by knowing publicity and the importance of telling the audience what he's doing, why is this time difference?  There's no way whatever his plan in would work unless it can get straight to Biden and he probably doesn't even know what day it is.

The left will immediately going to charging people who disagree with them.  Of course they'll all get along with each other until they run out of opponents and start it amongst themselves. We still don't know who's really in charge of them.  I doubt they do either.  I do wonder if Harris is working to take her boss out before the swearing-in ceremony.

I wrote the above before I found those headlines.  This is what they do.  This is where they've always wanted to go.  With no clue if there's any plan to stop them, this is the only chance we have, that they'll rip each other apart before they can even take control.  And that's another thing that would have to have been included in the plan.  We have almost 20 years of experience with elections that could have turned violent.  I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I think I was in Iraq the first time they'd ever had a real election.

Now the ones who've always believed they were destined to rule have to crack down on their subordinates to get them in line.

This is where I haven't paid much attention.  I've suspected for a long time that many high-class marriages are meant for this kind of control without have to take actual responsibility, particularly leftists where the women keep their own name, but fortunately I've never had to deal with that sort of thing.  But unfortunately others do.  This is what their families are there for.  Notice the comments about Hunter Biden have suddenly dropped.

I've been putting together the next book.  It's actually making me feel better to get back to what I used to do before the dark year.  And I will admit that it makes me miss using my facebook posts.  They could be as long or short as needed and I could put them together thematically for my standard essays.

The blog feels like a more serious writing task which takes more energy than a random facebook post.  Here I have to think about what I'm saying before I start writing and keep it up until pushing post.  I can write about different things but it's all in one post so editing will be harder.  With the facebook posts, I could grab a few comments I made about, say, Biden, in a single day and blam, there's effectively an essay.  Then I could add in any other related posts that day.

I've been re-reading Preacher over the last few weeks.  I think it's Garth Ennis' best series because he was still pretty new at the time and basically didn't have as much of a clue about his limitations or what couldn't be done.  Arguably The Boys and some of his individual war stories are as good if not better, but Preacher is where he made his mark.

It's also awesome as an example of what adult comics can be.  There's sex, violence, swearing, often at the same time, but the story is so much deeper.  And, maybe because it's been several years since I've read it, I was surprised that there wasn't actually as much sex or violence as expected.  Plenty of swearing though.  It wasn't a lot of long sex/fight scenes, the violence was rarely more than a few panels long and didn't happen that often, much less than I expected.  There was lots of talk about sex but all we ever really saw were Jessie and Tulip's love story, and it's not like there was anything explicit.  Herr Starr's sex-life was more explicit and we thankfully never had to see any of that.

Herr Starr is one of the greatest comic book villains of all time, probably just as part of Ellis' story.  The series is a western and it needs an ultra-bad villain, a serious threat to the heroes and what they defend and Starr didn't let us down.  He was pretty insane from the start but by the end he was destroying himself just to get revenge on Jessie for not serving him.

I always liked how it was Tulip, one of the best action chicks I've ever seen [granted I haven't seen very many] who actually finished off Starr in the climax.  The whole epic had suddenly turned around to be focused on Jessie and his ex-friend Cassidy and it was the hero's girlfriend who had to clean up what was expected to be the series antagonist but fell short after their own failure.  Tulip and Cassidy were supporting cast.

I'll probably say more later, I haven't finished the final book yet, I just wanted to show how off-throwing it is when I suddenly switch topics on a single post.  Also, it's almost midnight and it looks like the blog is technically 'published' when I start a new post, so I'll wait a few minutes to see if that's what actually happens.

It did say November 8 after I clicked "publish."

Year 0 day 5

We could believe that Trump and his allies knew that this was coming and set up a plan which will win.  That would be fine.  But I don't see how it could take this long to get anywhere.  Biden and the media already take it as a given they've won and have been for days.  Short of him flat-out admitting the fraudulent votes, I don't see how anything could be done about it and no one on his side will go along with it.

I think there's a point where the American people deserve better and yes, I totally am blaming Trump for this.  One of the things that truly impressed me was that Hillary crumbled within a day after the election.  She may have been too lazy to really go into stealing the election and had nowhere to turn, but no one would think the Democrats wouldn't try again four years later, exactly what we've been watching all this time.  And exactly what they're doing now.  That's what they've already done without hiding it.

There is no brilliant plan to hold out for a few weeks and then stop someone from having a heart attack or suffocation.  It's theoretically possible that agents are taking out the puppeteers at this moment but we don't see any of that or have the slightest hint of it and for that matter, it's just as possible that Trump was the puppet, wiping out the Clinton family so they wouldn't get in the way.  Liberal courts have long since ignored the law to impose their will on people who didn't elect them, why would they stop now?  Just because Trump brings them a suit to stop the election from being stolen from him?  I don't think so.

All the left needs to do is hold out, the right needs to do more just to keep up and we don't see any options available.  This does not keep hope, only blind faith and even that's run out.

We know the election was stolen.  At this point there seems no chance whatsoever of getting it back.  If something can be done then show it.

Just to add, I have suspected that this is why Trump made sure to add another Supreme Court justice a month ago, that it was part of the plan.  That actually is helpful but as far as we know - and we're all pretty ignorant on this - there's still no major aid short of them all voting for Trump.

Justice Alito Orders Any Ballots Received After 8pm on Election Day in Pennsylvania be Segregated and Secured – Counted Separately
November 6, 2020

This is a good move.  It needs to be pushed across all states, particularly the ones that are doing this, but I wouldn't mind if they were all checked.  The problem is that I don't really trust the courts to go forward on this.  Frankly, I don't really trust anybody else, they're all obviously supporting Democrats whatever the cost.

This is why I haven't been checking the news much lately.  It was around midnight when I even noticed that I hadn't looked at anything for most of the day.

DA Drops Charges On Ten Portland Rioters, Including Two Unlawfully Carrying Firearms
November 6, 2020

At least in my defense, I've got a new book to look at and work to do on the next few books.  I've actually started getting stuff done on the genuine 'next book' and even have a title.  Still don't know what's going to be on Side A but progress is progress.

There's no way the people of this country can co-exist with those who are so devoted to ignoring Trump's win all across the country except in a few Democrat-run cities that keep forging more and more votes.  We won't accept it and we're on the side of men with guns.  Democrats really want this and have no idea what they're getting.

The Horror Comics Picture Show

The only good thing that's happened to me this week, or in several months, I've received a copy of my new book.  I've already mailed out the standard copies to people and I can finally work out the next book.

The fake votes are like they do in dictatorships, there are some places with over 100% of votes and they're basically all for Biden.  The 1917 Russian election had Lenin doing that and they took total power right after barely winning.

Then there's all the Democratic-run states causing all the problems who changed their voting laws just a month or two ago.  I knew on the spot that sounded like stealing an election because otherwise it would have been established for future elections, not the one that was going on.  But that's not how they work.

Year 0 day 4

They've been planning this for a long time.  Notice Democrats and the media were unanimously reporting about Trump's reaction to losing for months if not years.  Hillary told Biden not to concede no matter what.  They knew the fake votes were coming and would keep arriving.

What are we going to do about it?  That's what I don't know and think that's where demoralization is coming in.  I definitely feel it and it's safe to assume many others are as well.  It's easy to say it'll be fought in the courts but that's not going to convince anybody even if Trump wins 100% of the cases and all the real votes are for him.

I have wondered if the whole virus stunt was to assist that, keeping people as home as much as possible so the votes would be easier to fake.  No doubt they were going for help across the world, they sure didn't mind working with Russia until November 2016.

I have heard that there's some sort of spy material (blanking on the term) on real votes which can't really be copied for fake votes.  That actually sounds believable, but of course that doesn't mean it's true.  And even if it is true, why are they taking so long to put that out, if nothing else to the people getting fake votes?

Year 0 day 3

So what do we do with a stolen election?  I don't know.  That's one of the few things I'm willing to do with the internet at the moment, try to figure out what to do.

I've seen articles and comments that Trump knew this was coming and planned for it.  If that's the case, stop holding out and show us the plan to fix it.  I can't think of anything doable - have a new election - and what else is there?

I assume - again, I'm not checking - that Democrats are under similar problems.  Republicans still have the Senate majority and gained House seats, exactly the opposite of what they wanted.  All the money they spent, all the media they got, all the need for more leftism, all insisting it was a repudiation of Trump, and this is the result?

So what to we do?  People might start dropping connections to businesses on the other side but I'm not sure what the effect of that will be.  I don't know what that will do to media, pop culture or anything like that.  I rarely deal with stuff like that even in normal times.  I would like nothing more than to go back to my old Army unit and get a job doing supply.  Or something as close to that as possible.

Despite what I posted earlier, it doesn't sound like leftist cities are breaking out in riots.  That's what I meant when I said they were probably having the same problems.  What do they riot about?  Beating Trump and still losing?  At some point they'd have to go after Democrats for that (although granted they're all in places already run by Democrats.)

One odd thing about this is that the states aren't even pretending to explain why it's suddenly so long and difficult to count votes.  They didn't have any problem in previous years.

I'm deliberately not checking the news so far today.  Just work on the "history project," that's all I have.  Sounds like Democrats are still magically coming up with votes for Biden but so far I don't think anything has been confirmed.  They've been doing that since at least Al Franken in Minnesota which I think is one of the states doing it now, what a coincidence.

Maybe I'll say more later.  Like everyone else, I'm not doing well now.

It occurs me that this is really how the dictatorship starts.  The left things everything will be fine when they're in charge of everything, then food starts running out and there are people who don't go along with the program, so men with guns are needed to force them to.  We already know they oppose anything going on outside of government, they just think it'll work when they take over and then reality gets in the way.

It is worth noting that only in places run by Democrats are they finding tons of votes that are all for Biden.

So the polls failed completely, the media predictions failed, and none of this makes any sense.  So far, Republicans are keeping the Senate and making a few House gains.  How could that happen?

"We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."

This is one of those Biden comments from a while ago, the last week of October I think, that I didn't make any comment about because I did generally ignore his idiotic remarks.  I still think he was probably intending to say something different but this is indeed what he said and it's quite relevant now.

Obviously I didn't know how, but I've known this conflict was coming for a long time.  In late-November 2004, I was having trouble sleeping and finally got up and wrote down what I was thinking about.  I've found the page of my notebook and even typed it up, not easy to do with my current reading abilities or the horrible handwriting I've had my whole life.  It's not all that coherent nor does it get specific, but it's where I definitely saw where the left was going and they've been doing that ever sense.

It was their reaction to GWB's re-election that caught my attention, the 'anything but Bush' approach.  That's exactly what they've been doing to Trump for four years, climaxing last night.

I've barely looked at any news today.  Not that it helps, I'm not getting a lot done on my "History project" and haven't started working on a new book since that one day last week or so.

□ [“Prominent Black Conservative Bevelyn Beatty Stabbed in the Back… Multiple Proud Boys Stabbed in DC (VIDEO)"]
This is going to get worse before it gets better.  What little I have noticed in the news includes the left's open hatred of hispanics.  They hate anyone who disagrees with them and skin color is a good way to identify them.  

So are Democrats getting ready to steal the election?  That sounds like it's getting close.  It'll head to the Supreme Court and they'll probably be eager to oppose Trump.

This does have to surprise Democrats though, the ones who believed there'd be a Biden landslide.  Will they take it from the same people who told them Biden was totally winning from the start?  This is where individualism comes out, even members of the left will think differently from others.  You can't stop that, no one can.

I'm still trying to accept that we can't see the decisions being made on the street.  I'm mostly thinking of WWII as an example, where the war was declared at the beginning of September 1939 and then Britain, France and Germany did nothing until the following Spring.  The three of them had been through WWI and nobody knew if they were willing to go through it again.  I suspect that's one reason France surrendered so quickly.

I'm trying to figure out what to do now.  I've been doing that for months but obviously that's going on for everybody now.  Of course I have no idea what to do next.  I can at least sit out for months, fortunately, but that's only if things continue as they have been, not like they've become now.  We're all in this mess and it's not going to end no matter who actually wins the election.

So they're trying to steal the election.  I've heard that one of the states magically found a hundred thousand votes, every single one of them for Biden.

Almost all of us are sitting and watching.  We aren't at the front.  No matter who is officially declared the winner, this won't end.

Year 0 day 2

It was fairly early yesterday when I heard - don't remember where - that Pennsylvania and Arizona were the important states and they're still underway.  This is where the thousands of Biden votes would show up.

Regardless, we do see that the polls had no idea what they were talking about, the election isn't far apart.  So much for the Biden+20% or whatever they were reporting.  Does it mean that it's only because of Biden that Trump didn't win huge or that they could have run a dead dog for President who would have gotten the same number of votes?

It's also worth noting that none of the House/Senate control has changed.  Republicans have won 4 House seats, that's it.

Democrats have an advantage over faking votes, Republicans have an advantage of, well, Trump.  They haven't been able to beat him yet.

It still hasn't changed.  Even the Senate/House races aren't done, although so far the Republicans have a House majority.

Trump has tweeted "We Are Up BIG, But They Are Trying to Steal."  I assume one of Biden's subordinates has done something similar.

I don't think I'll pay much more attention to it tonight.  I'm too depressed.

I'm tempted to go to bed but there's no chance of falling asleep.  It seems like none of the sites I go to even have the same current results.  I've been working on the "history project" all day and I'm basically sick of it.  I've also been re-reading Preacher for the last week or so and it still holds up extremely well.

Some states are refusing to count the votes that were made today?  What on earth is the point of that?

Are some states refusing to give their results tonight?  If so, that would give certain people a chance to add more fake ballots.

Still no way to know what's up.  This isn't fun.

It does seem like some states are going back and forth.  That's why I don't pay too much attention to numerous websites on Election night because they all give different results and, well, 2020 is probably going to keep doing more of that.

Suddenly the west coast has come in giving Biden the Electoral college win but Trump's still higher in vote numbers?  It's seemed a little weird all evening when I checked that the results were coming in later and later, then this suddenly happens?

Then again, what if Fox News declares Biden the winner immediately?  Will Democrats just go along with them?  Probably.

If they accuse Republicans of stealing Florida, it'll probably be a good clue of what they did in places like Pennsylvania.

The one place Facebook was unquestionably better than using this blog was that it was fine to just post short random observations, jokes, thoughts, etc.  Type whatever I'm thinking, press 'enter' and move on.  Here I really do feel the urge to write more even if I don't have anything to say and I do know it's perfectly possible to post a one-liner here.

Trump is at 50% of the way, Biden's at 48%.  Hell, they could stop counting now and Democrats would universally declare Biden the winner by a landslide.  Trump's still in the popular vote at the moment which Democrats will immediately forget to complain about.

Pennsylvania still hasn't declared a winner and it's rumored that the left is trying to steal it.  Maybe they only do this is in some states/cities.  Perhaps because it's too difficult to do everywhere, perhaps they're too lazy, who knows?

It does seem like Republicans have lost Senate and House seats which is odd.  How do people vote for someone in one party but not for someone in another?  I'd have to check but I think this happened in previous Presidential elections.

At the moment I'm trying to figure out the worst option not counting an open civil war (which one assumes Democrats already have planned out as much as possible.)  Trump wins but both houses go to the Democrats?  That seems very unlikely but anything's possible.  This is f*cking 2020.

Trump is in the lead so far but not by much.  One worry I have is that Democrats are just printing votes to put themselves ahead.

It was also noted yesterday that Biden would declare victory if he saw it on tv.  That doesn't say much positive about him, they could flat-out be lying to him just to cause problems and he would obey without hesitation.

Maybe I should just do a batch of headlines a day and then see if I have anything to write later.  It's all about preparing future books.  That's why I'm even trying to format everything like I do in the final published versions so there's less work to do afterwards.

Obviously there's no results coming in yet, as far as I know even the Eastern states are still open, but there doesn't seem to have been a start of announcements yet.  The media usually goes in for that, 2016 being the only exception that I recall.  They usually want to be the first ones to announce the winner, even if it's just a county or town.  By now they should be able to at least announce a bunch of places Biden won.

In theory, they wouldn't want to make that mistake again, but the left has doubled down on everything else they've done for the last four years so why would this be different?  The "Dewey Beats Truman" headline is part of history for a reason, except that it was a Chicago newspaper announcing the defeat of a Democrat.  Hasn't happened since.  But now, more than ever, they want to announce their enemy's defeat.

I guess the only question is if they'll even try to announce their own defeat.

They've already been making attempts to pretend to be the winner regardless of the election, haven't they?  I think Hillary called herself "president" and the fat black chick in Georgia still insists she's the governor after a year or two.

It's not intrinsically different from picking Harris as Biden's veep candidate, since she got her job from her married boyfriend and later put her name in for a California election position who would always be elected by Democrats no matter what and then quit the Democratic Primary before anyone even had a chance to vote against her, which they would have done a worse result than Elizabeth Warren who didn't get 8% of votes and came in third in her own home state.

They really are going all-out on removing elections as a relevant

They're planning a coup.  This has been in the works for at least a few years now, they've been preparing for it, hence the riots this year, but that's what they want to do.  Trump could win by 99% of the vote and it wouldn't slow them down in the slightest.

And they get all the Democrat governors and mayors in place as believing that they'll still be in charge after the coup which isn't how those things work.

The left wants everything to be about politics and to oppose anyone who thinks differently.  This imposes their viewpoint on all their supporters - and not permitting them to behave individually - and sets up a permanent enemy because they can't actually get rid of individuality.  I'm not even sure they realize this consciously, and notice how they pretend to be otherwise.  Leftist all say they're individuals while talking and exactly like all the others, just as blacks are never allowed to leave the party that owned them and LBJ promised to keep them for another 200 years.

And yet the leaders get to live in mansions and have servants who have their own mansions, because they demand equality.

Is this Year 0?

So Biden is going to declare victory tonight regardless of what the results are and the networks are already going along with it.  The only things that can happen are if he looks nuts or if the networks are wary as when a communist leader dies and someone has to nominate themselves as replacement and everyone's unsure if they can go first.

Leftism is about removing individuality.  The people in charge get to keep theirs because they're surrounded by men with guns and must be honored by all the peons.

And now the end is near...

So here we are again.  I'm in a similar place to where I was before Election Day 2016.  Not literally, I'm on the other side of the country and haven't been living in hotels for the last couple months, but emotionally it's similar.  I assumed Hillary would win by hook or by crook and the country was over.  Obviously I was wrong about that first part but it's what the left is after.

I've been focusing on the 'history project' for the most part.  I've even given a little attention the next book but that was more about just figuring out what I wanted to do, a decision I won't make until after the election.  I think I'm getting closer to figuring out what the goal is, to oversee how what we know as "leftism" has been part of humanity all this time.

I'm still iffy on how to analyze that, it's just not possible to understand how anybody lived a century or more ago.  No matter how rich they were, they didn't have internet, tv, refrigerators or washing machines.  Even having cars and planes were very unusual, who would want them?  Yeah, you can quote Thomas Jefferson or whoever on the most intellectual philosophies they had but they couldn't wipe their ass with toilet paper in the bathroom right next to their bed.  If you disagree, what would your life be like if you never did such a thing?  You spent your whole life having to go a few hundred feet away and then using grass or leaves.  Do you think you'd just take your cellphone with you and it would be otherwise the same as today?

Anyway, that's what I think about.

Worth noting that Trump is just going all over the place, four or five different states every day, going through after midnight the following morning.  Biden may do two events a day, fairly close to his home.  He's making Hillary look like a workaholic.  If the media wasn't supporting him, it would be totally clear that he's not up to the job and shouldn't have even tried.  Trump's kids are going all over the place too, Biden's... aren't.

No matter how many votes Trump gets and Biden doesn't, the remaining left will deny reality at all costs.  Biden's campaign manager just put out that "Under no scenario will Donald Trump be declared victor on election night."

I've also noticed that there doesn't seem to have been any Democrat promise that, if they win, Biden will get nations in the Middle East back to refusing to acknowledge Israel's existence.  After all, Israel's the only one allowing abortions and homosexuals to exist, Democrats can't possibly support that.

Maybe that's it.  Maybe it's refusal to believe in reality or to think that it can be whatever they say it is no matter what the facts are.

Just headlines right now, maybe I'll do something more later

CBS cites Trump getting 279 Electoral votes, Biden 259

Turn your clock back into a robot and fight the Decepticons.

One thing that's pretty clear is that one of the left's short goals is to insist that Trump lost no matter what.  Really, the only question is how many of them are going to go along with that.  I do wonder if they've been using fake votes of dead/moved away people all these years and now something's been done about it.

Funny how the places getting ready for riots are run by Democrats like in Chicago.  It's not Trump supporters they're worried about.  At a speech in Michigan, Biden told the crowd "Folks, we got a lot of work to do.  I don't need you to get me elected, I need you once I'm elected."  I generally try to avoid Biden's ridiculous comments but this one is interesting.  Why would he specify that he doesn't need these people to become President?  What politician would do that?  Not someone who wants votes.  Or maybe he's just senile, but that's why I haven't gone after many of his recent statements.

I have seen a list of the candidates' public speeches since Labor Day and it's mind-boggling how Biden hasn't gone anywhere.  I wish I could copy and paste it like I did with the places I talked about yesterday, but it looks like Biden has had 44 events in the last 57 days.  Trump has had about 61 in the same time.  I'm trying to discount things like press conferences, debates and whatnot.  I don't pay much attention to the audience numbers, but Biden's is about 1616 people who came to see him.  Total.  With Obama at the last several.  What kind of a politician would only get people who want nothing to do with him, who are too scared to leave their homes?

Even if Trump wins, we've only got, at best, a four year delay.  The left won't stop, at this point I'm not even sure they'll reconsider what they're doing.  And Trump will be gone in four years regardless.  That's what I think the left is planning for, how to react if they haven't won.

Is this going anywhere?

I just realized that if Trump loses, all the Democrats and their media will suddenly announce that a cure has been found for the disease and will unlock most of the people.  See, it was Trump's fault they hadn't found it earlier and they'd go back to ignoring any virus deaths just as they all the years previous.

Sean Connery – the Original James Bond Actor – Passes Away at Age 90
October 31, 2020

Obviously this was news anyway - he's Sean frickin Connery - but yesterday I ran into this article which is odd timing (although it's dated October 24 but I doubt Connery just keeled over one day.)
□ [“James Bond Film ‘No Time to Die’ Explored $600 Million Sale to Streaming Services"]
It seems MGM has reportedly lost at least $30 million or up to twice that much since delaying the release of this movie.  There's no explanation of where that money is going although there's enough speculation that I suspect studios just take immense loans to make movies and keep everything for themselves.  If the movie's a hit, it can pay the loan, the interest and pay for other movies that aren't hits.

Usually they can make it work every year, but 2020 has made it pointless to do that since no one's going to the theaters anymore.  They had enough problems when people would rather watch movies on their computers or phones.  It sounded like they were trying to make theaters events in and of themselves, but that obviously doesn't apply now.  I don't pretend to understand what standard the "James Bond" movies would make - I've only seen three in my life, all of them in theaters early in my life - but if there is something for a franchise beyond just being one movie after another, or even if they can pretend there's something more in a franchise, that probably complicates the economic strategies for the loans.

This would explain why the people involved in movies have to work in another reality than normal people, they have to present themselves as capable of understanding these complicated maneuvers to just make it through a day and they're in an industry where surface image is much more important.  It just becomes even more complicated by the number of people who have to be involved just to put together any generic love comedy or action flick.  Hell, even porno movies probably have a few dozen people involved just to handle the filming and administration and those are 100% based on the attractiveness of the lead females.

I suspect that's why people don't just film their own movies, or even ongoing tv shows.  I've always wondered about that, why doesn't a theater group just put out work like that?  One would think a half-dozen actors could crank out enough of a script to put together scenes they thought worth filming, whoever's not on screen at the moment is the one behind the camera or the lights, and that could be entertaining to someone.  Yet in all these decades, they never make them, or at least never release them after someone gets famous.

And obviously they can't do stuff like that after becoming famous although it's not clear why.  I guess they have to form a company and that is such a complicated task that almost no-one's willing to even try, much less succeed at it for years.  I suppose you can't point to George Lucas as a big example, he was totally devoted to making movies and he's only made seven movies as writer and/or director and another eight where he came up with the basic story and then let others make the actual movie.  There's also nine short films he made back in the 1960s but nobody pays any attention them.  Yet he's run an incredibly successful company for decades.

[One of those movies was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade which is one of my absolute favorites and seems to be the only movie I've with Sean Connery as more than a cameo.  I've also seen Connery in The Rock which I totally hated and don't remember how he was.  The only other was his appearance at the end of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood and he was magnificent as the King of England.]

I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but it was interesting to get a clue of how this works.  I think that's one of the main-if-unconscious reasons why some people generally don't like tv or movies, there's just too much required to make one, much less enjoy them.  I've been completely surprised to see myself focused on the Avengers movies this year but I can at least say it's a life-long love of the superhero genre that doesn't even rely on these specific characters.  And even that fixation has been running low in the last month or two.  It's probably not totally gone but it is what it is.  Anyway, I have noticed that there hasn't been any big increase in internet movies since people have stayed home so much more during this virus.  Ok, maybe there was and I just haven't heard of it, but still...

Yeah, they're getting ready for the next civil war.  They've all been hit many times in the last several months and, oddly enough, all by Biden supporters.  This won't end well (or soon) even if Trump wins.  But now it's finally coming out in the open.

□ [“Florida Dems Hit The Panic Button Over Miami-Dade Turnout"]

□ [““We’ve Got to Stop the Bleeding” – CNN, Democrats Freak Out About Republicans Outpacing Democrats in Florida" (VIDEO)]

These are still anecdotal clues but they are helping to build the overall picture and the left refuses to acknowledge any of it.  The people in charge of them and their media have to accept reality more often or else they won't remain in control.  Apparently Biden went to Minnesota today, a state that hasn't voted Republican in my lifetime.  I know what I said yesterday about his travels going to sensible places for his campaign, but this isn't one of them.

There's going to places that are totally on his side just to please the loyal followers and there's going to states that are going to ditch him.  Obviously the fake media nonsense about his poll victories being even bigger than Hillary is supposed to make up for the fact that he's not going to states that don't Democrat and try to win them over.  If he's so guaranteed of victory, that would help make the victory even bigger.  I haven't been following Trump's travels but one reason I create my books is to keep track of stuff and The World Turned Right-Side Up has on page 2-3 a record of Trump and Hillary's travels in 2016's last four months.

In November, Trump went to 12 states and won 6.  Hillary went to 8 states and won 2.
In October, Trump when to 15 states and won 6.  Hillary went to 9 states and won 3.
In September, Trump went to 12 states and won 6.  Hillary wen to 8 states and won 3.
In August, Trump went to 15 states and won 9.  Hillary went to 8 states and won 2.

Ok, I'm not sure what that proves.  It certainly doesn't help my idea.  They were obviously the same states over and over.  Try it a different way.

Trump went to Arizona 3 times, Hillary went 1.
Trump went to Colorado 3 times, Hillary went 2.
Trump went to Connecticut 1 time, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Florida 24 times, Hillary went 12.
Trump went to Iowa 6 times, Hillary went 3.
Trump went to Maine 3 times, got 1 of its 3 Electoral college votes, Hillary went 0 and got 2.
Trump went to Michigan 8 times, Hillary went 4.
Trump went to Minnesota 1 time, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Mississippi 1 time, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Nebraska 0 times, Hillary went 1.
Trump went to North Carolina 16 times, Hillary went 6.
Trump went to New Hampshire 8 times, Hillary went 2.
Trump went to New Mexico 1 time, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Nevada 6 times, Hillary went 6.
Trump went to New York 1 time, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Ohio 14 times, Hillary went 8.
Trump went to Pennsylvania 15 times, Hillary went 9.
Trump went to Texas 1 time, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Virginia 7 times, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Washington 1 time, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Wisconsin 6 times, Hillary went 0.
Trump went to Washington DC 1 time, Hillary went 0.

Of course that doesn't get very specific on anything.  Trump worked harder than Hillary and she took a month off.  States are different and even though he may have been brand new to running for office, Trump must have had enough sense to not do too much with states he was guaranteed to win or lose.  New York, Texas and DC look like the only places he went to and in New York's case, he'd go there no matter what.  Nebraska splits its three Electoral votes and I assume Hillary went there to attempt to get one as Obama did.  [I don't remember for sure if he got one but he definitely tried.]

Ok, that does suggest both of them were trying to win states that were in play.

Trump won 10 of the 21 states/DC he visited 129 times.  He won 6 of the 10 states he visited 5 times or more.  88 of his visits were to states he won.
Hillary won 4 of the 11 states she visited 56 times.  She won 1 of the 5 states she visited 5 times or more.  10 of her visits were to states she won.
Nebraska is the only state Hillary went to that Trump didn't and she lost.  Connecticut, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and DC are the states Trump went to that Hillary didn't and she still won.  Texas, Minnesota and Maine are the only states Trump went to that Hillary didn't and he won (or got one electoral vote.)

I'm trying to decide if it would help to put % in these figures, but there's the notion that it wouldn't make much sense since a lot of the numbers are about Hillary just not showing up, just as Biden is doing now.  Trump went to almost twice as many states for well over twice as many visits as Hillary did because he's willing to work.

This is definitely a trait in leftism now, enough have been caught in just the last few months.  Intellectually one can understand claiming to have a different race because you've been taught to hate your own and the only option is to pretend to be one of the "oppressed" but how does one make that judgement to oneself much less anybody else?  Would she have gotten her Ph'D if she hadn't self-identified as non-white?
