Writing and Election Notes

We had a great hour on the treadmill yesterday and our knee feels fine. 

Yesterday we worked on the Aussie F-111 scenes in The Final Storm and things are coming along slowly. But we have an almost-rough draft ready and it occurs to us that there are two aerial attacks scenes to write. 

Writing the above we realized we have to re-write the SAS attack scene. If reader(s) can't figure out where they're headed they haven't been paying much attention. If a West German teenager can do it, why not the SAS? The MS already approaches 60,000 words. This is gonna be a big one. 

As noted previously, November is get The Great Nuclear War of 1975 ready for formatting month. We started a trio of scenes about a pair of officers from Looking Glass writing a report on the nuclear war. This will be the readership's lone window into the events of those 48 hours. The 3rd scene will be 75's epilogue and we know the last line. 

Election Day!

In New Jersey, The latest poll shows Murphy beating Jack 50-42, which sounds about right, give or take. A solid win but no landslide. 

We have schoolboard elections here in Bridgewater. The Bridgewater Breeze published this handy election guide. This blog endorses Richard Myers and anyone who isn't Stacey Friedlander for school board. Myers once complemented our hat (you know which one) outside of a school function. Friedlander is the kind of annoying busy body who will correct anything one posts on local FB groups. 

Moving down south, the last poll we saw on Virginia had Glen Youngkin up 3 points. Political prognosticators have moved Virginia to 'lean GOP'. Can the VA GOP stop the steal this time? We shall see. This blog does not expect to know who won on election night.

Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner's ex wife and Hillary!'s long time PA/lover, is back in the news. The Hill reports, 'When asked on NBC’s “Today” if she would ever run for office, Abedin cited television producer Shonda Rhimes, telling host Savannah Guthrie, “This is my year of saying yes. I’m not saying no to anything.'

Long ago we predicted Huma would run for office.

Huma should run for her husband's old congressional seat.

Think about it. For starters she's got the Islamist vote sown up. She'll also has the self loathing Jew vote locked away. The careerist gals of her district will looooove this.

Think of the media bio: put upon, wronged woman runs for office. How many of the harpies reading the teleprompter at WCBS, WNBC and WABC have the same bio? I bet its most of them. The press is going to looooove this story. It writes itself, no? Lord knows these people can't do any writing themselves.

She'll win.

From there the options just open up. Independent congressmuslim. Permanent seat in Congress held as personal property ala Adam Clayton Powell or Charles Rangel or stepping stone to higher office. Two branches there, either mayor of NYC (oh there's a story) or US Senate. The later is a race to see who can get in position to replace Chuck Schummer, our own Huma or Web Hubell's daughter Chelsea.

 

Inflating Prices and GOPs

Did we collude with the Soviets this week? Did we ever: 'American politics keep getting sillier. For a few months now fans at sporting events across the nation have taken up an obscene anti-Joe Biden chant. On 2 October, NASCAR driver Brandon Brown won the Xfinity Race series at Talladega Super Speed way, in Alabama. Alabama is a deep red state in the Deep South and a hotbed of anti-Joe Biden resistance. As Brown was being interviewed by NBC Sports Network, fans behind him took up the anti-Joe Biden chant. The interviewer said, ‘…as you can hear the chants from the crowd, let’s go Brandon…’ This claim was so ridiculous pranksters took up ‘Let’s go Brandon’ as the new anti-Joe Biden chant. One can now purchase ‘Let’s go Brandon’ T-shirts, hats, even masks. Congressman Jeff Duncan (R, South Carolina) wore a ‘Let’s go Brandon’ mask on the floor of the House of Representatives. Congressman Bill Posey (R, Florida) ended a speech on the House floor with, ‘Let’s go Brandon’. The Biden Administration has bigger problems than obscene chants...Click it

Speaking of problems for Joe...The New York Post reports that Glenn Youngin is up 8 points in the Virginia Gubernatorial race. We've heard of another GOP internal poll that had Youngkin up 4. We have a man on the ground there and he said he'd heard Youngkin by 2 points. In our formula of circumstances ideas and candidates, all three seem to have turned against Clinton bagman Terry McAuliffe. Youngkin sure is peaking at the right time. Still, Youngkin must win beyond the margin of fraud/lawyer. This blog remains skeptical.

Moving north, we actually saw a Jack campaign commercial last night. Again, the man is relentlessly on point and tough, hammering Murphy about taxes. The last poll we saw showed Murphy up 50-41. That's more like it, though the margin is too wide. We'll stick with 51-45, or so. Reminder, this blog endorses Jack. 

A victory in the culture war? NJ.com reports Columbus ain't goin' anywhere,‘Columbus Day’ will be back on the Rockaway Township School District’s calendar next school year after the board previously had voted to change its name this year...' This was not an isolated victory, 'Earlier this year, the Randolph Board of Education did an about-face on its decision to remove holiday names from the school calendar following tremendous backlash from the public.' The European brought civilization and god to a benighted continent steeped in darkness and paganism. Columbus was the light. This blog endorses the European conquest of North America 100%.

NJ.Com tells us that Super Storm Sandy rolled through New Jersey 9 years ago today. It was a really bad wind and rain storm that hung over the area for 12 hours. Mrs. Stroock and I were watching Monday Night Football when the power went out. It didn't come on for another four days. We lost some roof shingles and such, but came out fine. Oh, we had a one week old at home.
