HELLO Turkmenistan

HELLO Turkmenistan

For some reason Turkmenistan (the crossroads of civilizations) is interested in this little mindless blog with 810 views yesterday.

Here in our little spot in the world a majority if people are celebrating as the party that tried to suppress our voting rights REALLY pissed people off and "we" won in many many contests.

You see the Republican Party knew they had a good chance of losing so they decided that even with a global pandemic and even though the citizens were told to NOT GO OUT, they decided that in order to vote you needed to risk your life.

It was a stupid strategy as most Republicans are older white people which are the most vulnerable. SO - they wanted their base to REALLY risk their lives and at the same time they REALLY pissed off the Democrats that came out in big numbers.

The Democrats would have come out anyway as the are fired up with the blatant corruption and misinformation being spewed out of the Federal governments total lack of usefulness in a global pandemic but then the Republican party decided to not wait like 16 other states and make their older demographic risk their lives.   FAIL!

Meanwhile #1 in our little town of 5000 for the first time since 2007 we voted to fix our schools by not only voting to fund the fix but also to change over the School board that makes decisions about our schools. 

Meanwhile #2 is that we had a cronie Governor for 8 years and a good number of his local judges that he put in place were booted out of office.   At least here in Wisconsin what we call the blue wave is a real thing.

I know you guys in Turkmenistan have your issues with Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, your president. For one thing just saying his name hurts my mouth. From what I have read (or actually skimmed a majority of a few paragraphs) the guy is good AND bad.  Our President is bad AND bad.  We call him the gaslight President.

gas lighting = manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity   

10 signs someone is gas lighting you

They tell blatant lies.
They deny they ever said something, even though you have proof.
They use what is near and dear to you as ammunition.
They wear you down over time.
Their actions do not match their words.
They throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you.
They know confusion weakens people.
They try to align people against you.
They tell you or others that you are crazy.
They tell you everyone else is a liar.

Remember when Trump said a Ford plant was making ventilators?  NOPE - not true at all

Remember when Trump said Google had 1,700 people working on cure for the virus?  NOPE - not true at all

Remember when Trump said he was sending ventilators to a state (can't think which one)  NOPE - never happened

Remember when Trump said ventilators and masks were a State issue and not a federal government problem?  And now he is saying he has total 100% control over states? Basically throwing out the 10th Amendment?

In America the blue wave is growing and the Republican party is growing smaller and smaller because the people they keep electing are corrupt.  If REAL Republicans would vote for REAL Republicans instead of the people they have been choosing they might have a chance.

But I feel the Democrats will take the House AND Senate AND White House and they only have themselves to blame.  It's not like the Democrats have any real people with personalities to take charge but even milk toast is better then blatant corruption. 

NUFF SAID

Look who is back - a male Northern Flicker - all puffed up because it's FREAKING COLD!

A new Nighwish "album" dropped and it is the literal definition of Symphonic Metal.  People are loving the album or they hate it because there is to much "symphonic"   HELLO!!!  Symphonic.
 Metal  KNOCK KNOCK ANYONE HOME?

You have a classically trained vocalist and a keyboardist that literally composes classical music. In-fact the last 6 tracks are 100% classical.

Two videos - the first is VERY operatic and it's about Eugene Shoemaker.  The second one is called Treble - you will see why and it's pure drums and metal and in between these two songs is an entire range of music.  BRAVO

Shoemaker was the founder of modern planetary science. He studied craters on Earth and Moon, and realized that they were created by asteroid impacts. Shoemaker was the geology principal investigator for Apollo missions, and he also helped to train the Apollo astronauts that went to the Moon. He himself was a candidate for an Apollo Moon flight but was disqualified after being diagnosed with Addison's disease. Later in life, he said, "Not going to the Moon and banging on it with my own hammer has been the biggest disappointment in life."

this shows of Floor's amazing vocal talents
