Blasphemy or Art?

Question: would this kind of 'art' be displayed if it was attacking or ridiculing another religion, and not Christianity?

Race to 270

The link below takes you to an interactive map showing how many Electoral College votes are required to win the US Presidential election. You can play around with it yourself, the key being to get to 270 votes to win. 270 votes wins the Presidential race.

In default mode, it is a bit generous toward the Democratic candidate. As things stand right now, it gives 229 votes to Kamala Harris and 251 to Donald Trump.

The key battlegrounds for Kamala Harris are: Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. If she picks up all of these, then she wins comfortably.

Donald Trump has much less work to do.

Prince Archie

The below YouTube channel has an interesting theory, that the son of Prince Harry is not Meghan's child. She speculates that Harry got someone pregnant, and that the child is being brought up by the mother in England. This explains Harry turning up in the UK every now and again, without his wife or children. He's visiting his son.

She explains, this is why Meghan feels she's owed an apology; that's because she covered for her husband but has not been treated well in return. 

Personally, going by the evidence available to us, I don't believe there are any children at all. If we start right back at the beginning, Meghan's first pregnancy was dubious to say the least, and then the announcement of birth outside Buckingham Palace was not signed by witnesses. Contrast with the announcements of the births of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, for examples of what these announcements are meant to look like.

What Was This?

Kamala Harris v Donald Trump

I'm noticing the rank hypocrisy of right-of-centre commentators criticising Kamala Harris for any reason, while ignoring the obvious failings of Donald J Trump. The worst form a criticism being levelled at Kamala Harris amounts to nothing more than slut-shaming. So, let's balance this up and have an objective look at both main candidates for the US Presidential elections in November.

Kamala Harris, at 59 seems youthful compared to Donald Trump, and for that matter, youthful compared to the current President who suffers dementia. She's intelligent, a lawyer and someone who has held high office; she's never lost an election. Her path to the top is by way of District Attorney, Attorney-General of California, US Senator for California and now Vice President of the United States. She's been married the once and remains married to this day. As a politician, she is fairly conservative and considered a safe pair of hands. On a personal level, she's self-made; and both parents were immigrants.

Donald Trump received a sound education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He inherited part of his father, Fred Trump's massive wealth which was amassed by owning something like 30,000 apartments in New York. Donald Trump took his father's wealth and made it go backwards. That's right, had the Donald invested wisely, he'd be the richest man alive today. He has several company failures to his credit. His record as a politician is mixed, he won his first effort by winning in the all-important Electoral College despite losing the overall popular vote to Hillary Clinton. His second effort resulted in failure, he lost in the Electoral College this time. The result in 2020 has been justifiably criticised, but it should be noted that Donald Trump was the sitting President and therefore, in the best position to do something about all that rigging. 

Donald Trump implemented Operation Warp Speed, which has resulted in the death and injury of millions. This should never be forgotten.

What chance does each have? As things stand right now, my analysis sees Donald Trump ahead in the Electoral College. There are 538 votes available in 2024, meaning 270 votes are required to secure the Presidency. I have Donald Trump with 363 and Kamala Harris with 175. Thus, Kamala Harris has to pick up 95 votes to win. 

This is where it gets interesting. After the outpouring of sympathy for Donald Trump following the attempt on his life, the Democratic Party pivoted swiftly and got rid of the very old, pale stale male, Joe Biden. He's still President for now, but Kamala Harris may only be minutes away from ascending the throne, without an election. She attracts a different demographic; college educated women, Afro-Americans and Asians. This could be enough to see her win key battleground states. Take Georgia, currently considered leaning Trump, its population is 32% Afro-American. Another battleground state is Pennsylvania, made up of 12% Afro-Americans, and 31% of women there have a bachelor's degree or higher. 

If she wins those two states, she's now 60 votes away from the prize. All those key swing states have demographics more aligned to Harris than Joe Biden. Donald Trump should be worried, and he is judging by the attack ads that suddenly appeared.

Will RFK Jr have an impact, the way Ross Perot did back in the 90's? He'll attract the college educated and freer thinking voters, but my guess is they're in states that already heavily lean to Kamala Harris, and he won't overturn the result as she's so far out in front anyway. But, who knows, I'm ready to accept RFK Jr may cause an upset. It'd be interesting to see him holding enough Electoral College votes to prevent 270 being reached by either Harris or Trump.

Another factor is how the deep state, swamp creatures and assorted authoritarians view the two main contenders. I believe, the reason they tried to kill Donald Trump was not because he isn't part of the swamp - he very much is - but that he's seen as unpredictable. The swamp likes Kamala Harris as she's likely to be reliable. 

Those dismissing Kamala Harris are getting things badly wrong in my opinion. 

Kamala Harris in November

We need a bit of honesty when talking about Kamala Harris and her chances of beating Donald Trump in an honest contest. Let's face it, she is good looking. Why does no-one ever point this out? Research has been done on the good-looks in politics factor, and the findings are that you can accurately predict the outcome based on who is the better looking. It's a shame I know, why should looks matter? But the reality is looks do matter and Kamala Harris is better looking than Gretchen Whitmer, who people do say is good looking. I said good looking a lot, algorithms. Heh 

Joe Biden

Joe Biden is not seeking reelection as President of the United States, he's stepped down as the Democratic nominee for the election in November. Now, the pressure will mount for him to resign as President and allow Kamala Harris to become the first female POTUS and first woman-of-color as well. If he doesn't resign, he'll go down in history as an old fashioned misogynist. C'mon Joe, be part of history.

Examine the Angles

Have a look at this analysis of what happened at the Donald Trump rally. The better angle for clipping Trump's ear is from the window of the building, not from where Thomas Matthew Crooks was positioned. Also, refer back to the video I posted where the sound of the first three shots indicates they came from inside the building:

More than One Lone Shooter

Analysis of the sound of the bullets from the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, reveals there were two, possibly three shooters. The first three shots came from inside the building Crooks was on top of, while the rest were from Crooks and possibly another additional shooter.

Trump Wounded at Campaign Rally

Donald Trump was speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania when shots were fired. The former President appeared to be wounded in his right ear. There are no reports of anyone else being hit.

More to follow:

Trump stood up shortly after and pumped his fist at the crowd, leading to chants of 'USA' and 'Make America Great Again.' 

There is no early information regarding who the shooter may have been or if any arrests have been made at the event. 

Update: one audience member is reported dead, while several others may be wounded as well. The shooter is also reported to be dead. Megyn Kelly has the latest:

Elon Musk and the Advertising Censorship Cartel

He may make the world's worst automobile, but his Starlink is brilliant. Now, I can fully support him, end online censorship.

Oh, and media, wake up; when you become propagandists how do you think this will end? I'll tell you how, your own unemployment, that's how.

Elon Musk announced on Thursday that social media platform X will sue 'perpetrators and collaborators' who have colluded to control online speech, as revealed on Wednesday by an interim staff report released by the House Judiciary Committee.

"Having seen the evidence unearthed today by Congress, 𝕏 has no choice but to file suit against the perpetrators and collaborators in the advertising boycott racket," Musk wrote on his platform, adding "Hopefully, some states will consider criminal prosecution."

Goldman Sachs: AI Offers Little?

My view is that AI does offer much, and the likes of Goldman Sachs are running scared as people may use the technology to free themselves.

Goldman Sachs has published a paper stating that AI’s productivity benefits and returns are likely to be significantly more limited than anticipated, while its power demands will be so great that utility companies will have to spend almost 40 per cent more in the next three years to keep up with demand.

Megyn Kelly on Jill Biden

 Is Jill Biden standing in the way of a stable US Government?

Who is Keir Starmer?

The Case for Kamala

Word is that Joe Biden is gone on Monday, to be replaced by Kamala Harris. If it happens, she'll be good in the role, her critics are just partisan hacks. And I also believe Kamala Harris can beat Donald Trump. She has to concentrate on the swing states to do that.

Kamala Harris for President?

Speculation is mounting that Joe Biden is being convinced to resign, not just give up seeking a second term. Resigning, rather than just seeing out his term and then stepping down, means Kamala Harris steps up from Vice President. She would then become the first female President of the United States. Also, the first 'woman of colour'. 

This makes perfect sense as the Democrats would want to tick this off on their list of achievements, regardless of how the election goes in November. They could appoint Gavin Newsom as her deputy, and the two run against Donald Trump in the election.

If they leave Joe Biden in office, but appoint, say, Gretchen Whitmer as the candidate in November, this has all the wrong optics. It would look as if they prefer not to have a black woman in the Oval Office, which may alienate two groups; blacks and educated women, two core demographics for the party.

Then, even if Kamala Harris loses to Trump, having the right optics may shore up the House race, leaving the House in control of the tyrannical Trump. Also, donor funds would flow, while they're drying up now.

Choosing Kamala Harris as President makes sense, and I'm sure senior figures in the party are going over every permutation while they make their decision.

Reform UK High in the Polls

 Is something going on out there?

UK General Election July 4th 2024

Here we go, can you feel it? The British establishment is about to get a rude awakening. The bad news, we'll likely have Keir Starmer as the British PM. Personally, I cannot stand the sound of his voice. But, the big move will come from the new party, Reform UK. Expect several seats for them, and finally an end to the WEF Uniparty of Labour and Labour Lite (Tories).
