• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
Daily Miscellany
Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Election Results-Virginia
I had never heard of Glenn Youngkin before last week's Virginia election for Governor.
He was running against Terry McAuliffe, former close buddy of Hillary Clinton and considered a guaranty to win the Virginia solid blue state governorship.
The Lieutenant Governor, Winsome Sears, is a black lady who also handily won her new position. She is a marine veteran and has ran for several political offices.
Look for her to ascend mightily into politics.
There is no time to waste. Our kids can’t wait, we work in real people time, not government time. And so on day one, we’re going to work. We’re going to restore excellence in our schools. We will invest the largest education budget in the history of the Commonwealth. We’re going to invest in teachers, new facilities, special education. We’re going to introduce choice within our public school system. How about that, choice within the public school system. We’re going to start with 20 charter schools, and we are going to make a down payment and close the gap on giving parents an opportunity to select where their kids go to school. Friends, we’re going to embrace our parents, not ignore them. We’re going to press forward with a curriculum that includes listening to parents’ input, a curriculum that allows our children to run as fast as they can, teaching them how to think, enabling their dreams to soar. Friends, we are going to reestablish excellence in our schools.
Terry McAuliffe's biggest mistake was when he said, to the effect, that parents should keep their minds out of school business and let the Board of Education decide what should be taught in school.
Perhaps it was just me, but I felt the entire country stopped still at those words with the realization that our government was taking over our lives, to include our children.
We all took a deep breath and acted on this realization.
They WILL control us, so said Terry Mcauliffe.
The New Jersey Race
We have the governorship race of Phillip Murphy in the bluest of states, New Jersey. He too darn near lost that race in the bluest of states. In fact, a truck driver won the position of President of the New Jersey Senate.
Indeed the Democrats did not do so well on election day 11/2/21.
Imagine the riot it's going to be in the red states.

Review "Dinner Imposwsible"
https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/dinner-impossible
Food Network's Robert Irvine is ready for any challenge – on his popular series Dinner: Impossible. Robert is challenged to overcome culinary obstacles and deliver a delicious meal before his time runs out. With new challenges from this exciting, fun-loving chef, viewers will see if Robert can make dinner possible!
---------------------------------------------
Robert Irvine is a long-time Food Network star who had a show titled "Restaurant Impossible". I never watched this show but I did see his new show, "Dinner Impossible". Besides the fact that it is among my favorite sort of TV shows.....cooking shows....it is quite an intriguing show.Irvine and his masterful crew of cooks is given a cooking challenge that is, ahem, not easy.
One challenge had the crew preparing a viking meal for 40 employees of an amusement park which had such a section in the park.
Cooking is not the only feature in the show. There are games and challenges that the cast must win in order to be given better cooking utensils and/or ingredients.
I rather enjoy the variety of activities on this show because you can only watch somebody stir a pot of soup for so long before eyes begin to glaze over.
Currently on Food Network on Tuesdays at 9pm.

THE FLY ON THE WALL
Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.
What to Do About Hillary
I only flew into the room where several Hillary aides were having a meeting, along with some DOJ people, because the spider invited me.
I have not seen Hillary Clinton in my life as a fly in the human capitol building as I was just a maggot when she was First Lady and/or Secretary of State.
The spider filled me in, telling me that Hillary might be going to jail because some human detective has determined that she paid for the deceit that President Trump was lied about by a payee of Hillary's lawyers.
"They are not going to put a former First Lady in jail!" one of the DOJ lawyers said, teeth clenched in anger.
"Why not?" one of Hillary's Aides responded, loudly, teeth also clenched in anger.
I whispered to the spider why an Aide of Hillary seems to want her to go to jail.
"No human being on this planet can stand Hillary Clinton," the spider whispered back. "To include her Aides."
It would turn out that the investigating human, DumbMan I think was his name, had arrested, at that time, TWO people who were involved in the attempted removal of a lawfully elected President.
"Dammit!" a DOJ lawyer arose with an angry shout, banging fist on the table top. "We don't put former first ladies in jail here in America!"
At this point me and the spider snuck out, me wondering why there is some kind of rule that human First Ladies cannot be put in jail.
As I bid the spider adieu, he said wait until all the Democrats are unelected.
"Hillary will likely spend some time in jail. These American humans are damn mad."
