Apparently, Wapping is a small community just off the Thames. It's not an action, like I thought it was.

10 love Whistler. Not sure what "wapping" means. Is that like rafting boats together? I know the Cruising Club of America likes to sail places and then raft fifty or sixty boats together and drink.

So in a real life encounter several months ago, some of you were asking about the discrete, yet tasteful TRUMP pin that I had on my shirt.

And I said I would put up a link to the source.

Scroll though all the common stuff that every tee shirt shop carries, until you get down to the lapel pin and "Made You Look" hat selection.

I do indeed make purchases from this site.

And like their products

The baters all paused in their fapping
They filed their complaint

Wapping was also the site of 'Execution Dock', where pirates and other water-borne criminals faced execution by hanging from a gibbet constructed close to the low water mark. Their bodies would be left dangling until they had been submerged three times by the tide.

121 Report on LA's elections from a local: They were an absolute bloodbath for the donks. Conservatives managed a supermajority in the state senate and may wind up with a functional one in the runoff. JBE markedly outperformed relative to the rest of the dems thanks to Rispone spending almost as much time attacking Abraham as Edwards and the local media actively suppressing any bad news, allowing him to portray himself as a quasi-conservative. If Rispone can unify the party behind him (not an easy task, because he pissed off most of the rest of the party and most of Northern LA by attacking Abraham something the party begged him to not do) he should beat Edwards. Big IF there. Saying some conservative locals have a reflexive revulsion to him is an understatement.

Based on my non-scientific survey of my half-remembered facts about runoffs, if the top vote getter in the first election is above 40%, they're pretty much guaranteed to win the run off.

46% is really close to 50%+1.

I wouldn't instill too much hope in this swinging towards Republicans.

From the London Wiki:

Wapping's proximity to the river gave it a strong maritime character for centuries, well into the 20th century. It was inhabited by sailors, mastmakers, boat-builders, blockmakers, instrument-makers, victuallers and representatives of all the other trades that supported the seafarer. Wapping was also the site of 'Execution Dock', where pirates and other water-borne criminals faced execution by hanging from a gibbet constructed close to the low water mark. Their bodies would be left dangling until they had been submerged three times by the tide.


So, birthplace of dunking booths?

Yes, I have relatives in Shreveport who backed Abraham and consider Rispone as an untrustworthy and slimy vote buyer. It's possible for Rispone to win them over, but it's going to take a lot of work. The risk isn't that they'll vote for Edwards, but that they'll still be pissed off enough on Runoff Day to just stay home. Edwards, of course, has a very well organized voter turnout organization.

209 REPORT: Fox News Hosts Criticized, Mocked Trump During Advertiser Meeting

A new report about the relationship between President Donald Trump and Fox News alleges that hosts Chris Wallace and Martha MacCallum criticized and mocked Trump during a closed-door meeting last month.

Fox News hosts Bret Baier, Chris Wallace, and Martha MacCallum attended an event in Manhattan to assure advertisers that “Trump doesn’t own” them, according to a piece published Sunday in the New York Times.

213 Yes, I have relatives in Shreveport who backed
Abraham and consider Rispone as an untrustworthy and slimy vote buyer.
It's possible for Rispone to win them over, but it's going to take a lot
of work. The risk isn't that they'll vote for Edwards, but that
they'll still be pissed off enough on Runoff Day to just stay home.
Edwards, of course, has a very well organized voter turnout
organization.

Posted by: Tom Servo at October 14, 2019 10:20 AM (Kpl3J)


Rispone's campaign commercials were truly cringeworthy. It's embarrassing that they seem to have worked. They were basically "Vote for me, I'm a dumber version of Trump! Oh, and here are a few lies about my Republican opponent."

222 Just as an anecdote that might cheer Hadrian up a minuscule amount:

I got a buddy who was a high school teacher all his life. Got laid off, subbed around for a while, but the sub gigs all dried up. No one would hire him because he's 60+. He was super bummed because all he ever wanted to be was a teacher, and couldn't land a gig doing that anymore.

Finally, he went to a temp agency and got placed in a call center doing tech support. Not glamorous, but hey, money is money. Now, less than a year in, he's on track to have a higher up position with the parent company soon in training, which is basically.... teaching.

273 Today is the 129th anniversary of the birth of American general and 34th president of these United States Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969).

Born in Dennison, Texas, Eisenhower graduated from West Point and had a rapid rise as a military commander during World War II. In 1942, he was the chief of Army operations in Washington, but within a year, he had become the supreme commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force and led the Normandy invasion in June 1944. He served as the president of Columbia University from 1948 to 1950 but returned to the colors to head Allied forces in Europe until 1952, when he resigned to run for President on the Republican ticket.

"In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

"The best thing about Eisenhower's presidency was his Jeffersonian conviction that there should be as little government and as much golf as possible."

- Alistair Cooke

Turnout will drop considerably for the runoff. Edwards voters won't be nearly as motivated as anti-Edwards voters though. There aren't any major runoffs in the lower races (Parish President, etc) in the heavily-Dem cities that would help drive JBE turnout either. I think Rispone takes it.

287 More Death to Free Speech in France:

"Zemmour quoted the Algerian writer Boualem Sansal, who said that the no-go zones are "small Islamic Republics in the making". Zemmour said that a few decades ago, the French could talk freely about Islam but that today it is impossible, and he denounced the use of the "hazy concept of Islamophobia to make it impossible to criticize Islam, to reestablish the notion of blasphemy to the benefit of the Muslim religion alone..."

ZeroHedge article ... mostly on how honest speech like above gets silenced, even prosecuted. But the Islamists know they are conquering, not adapting to Western ways. They have no interest in submitting, they force the French (and all the West) to submit to them.

Columbus Day.

Howd did it get here.??? As far as explorers go he was actually pretty minor and dint really discover crap.... There were other explorers with a significantly higher impact on History that didnot get their own National Holiday.

Turns out Columbus is another SJW made up Holiday. Seems that the turn of the 20th Century Social Justice Warriors wanted to give a sop to all of the Italian immigrants flooding into the country to make them feel like a part of the community and that citizens here could recognize Italian contributions and identify with their new Italian neighbors.

So.... they picked Columbus and lobbied to make Columbus Day a national holiday to make the new Italians feel more integral and welcomed in their new land.

Its wasnt white mans thirst for colonialism that resulted in Columbus getting his own day. It was feel goodisms by the SJW crowd of its day.

Few years ago I worked on a renovation of a Woolworth's building that was designated a historic structure. It was only 2 years older than I was - boy does that sure make you feel old. Also the new building owners kept telling me it was bomb shelter so the floors were strong enough to do anything they wanted to on them. Walked into the door during my first visit and saw the signs saying it was a designated fallout shelter. I had great fun explaining that fallout was dust so not even close to being a bomb shelter.

You sure nailed it there. I watched HISD (Houston's school district) tear down probably the newest building in its inventory, Sharpstown High School 1969. That building used to have those black and yellow bomb shelter signs on it but they were removed because "scary". The glass and tilt wall $65 million replacement took half as long to build as the destruction of the original. And built to accommodate 2/3 of the capacity of the old one.

434 From the sidebar...

I actually liked Rose in Star Wars, at least I thought she had some great moments... that were totally eclipsed by the incredibly horrible writing and directing that can only be considered a sin against humanity itself...

I could see the potential and it made me sad that it was all such a train wreck.

And 'shipping her and Fen? WTF?

It really means something, I think, when the "woke" star wars turns the budding friendship and connection between the white-girl star and the black stormtrooper into an afterthought, turns him into comic relief and 'ships him with the "everygirl" also-ethnic character, sends them on a mission that could be heroic and is, instead, angsty and stupid and pointless, all so she can spout some emotional social condemnation of rich people. The only good outcome of which was the poor little slave boy moving the broom.

435 Well, we can take comfort from the fact that Cali-zuela is doing its best to return the country to a stone age paradise.

436 The California Shampoo bottle bill is just like the shopping bag ban, except we didn't get to "vote" on it. I've brought this up before, and it may seem like a small thing. The bag ban was a ballot initiative. Supposedly we "voted" to prohibit stores from giving away plastic bags because ecology. The bill took effect the day after the election. The day after. And somehow, that morning the stores were all set to go. No more freebies, and the new ten cent a pop bags were all printed and in stock. I wonder how they knew the bill would pass?

438 A few years ago, before realizing I might be an old geezer, I was sitting in a bar, in Erie Pa, with some gents only a few years older than I. Topic of discussion was when Woolworth's on State Street shut down. The discussion ended when the Price Is Right came on (morning drinkers).

I'm still fuming over the Seattle City Schools K-12 'Math Ethnic Studies' curriculum. For those who haven't seen it, here is a link to their .pdf:
