If the late great Gladston Holder were alive he would take the opportunity to remind us that it does not matter who is elected to the White House, it the wealthiest families in the USA where the power is located- the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers et al. That said many will agree party colours aside, Trump’s legacy will be remembered as being one of the most bigoted and divisive.
Let it be no secret this blogmaster cannot wait to see the back of the man. He has disgraced the office of president of the USA and by extension the human race.

“I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE SEVERAL COMPOSERS YOU CITED OR THAT THERE WERE OTHER COMPOSERS CLASSIFIED AS BAROQUE PERIOD.”
Dr. GP
That was a list of my favourite composers and not all of them were from the Baroque period. There are other composers, such as Joseph Bologne (Chevalier de Saint-Georges or Knight of St. George), Blind Tom Wiggins and William Mercer (Marion) Cook, whose music are not as popular as the others mentioned, but they are worth listening to and you’ll be surprised to know who they were.
My appreciation for any genre of music is not based on whether or not it was composed by Black, white, red or yellow people.
Ironically, I also listen to ska, reggae, dub, dance hall music. Have been listening to it for years……….. back in the day from Big Youth, General Trees, General Echo, Yellow Man, Sugar Minot, Jacob ‘Killer’ Miller, Burning Spear and Gregory Isaacs to Bob Marley to Shabba Ranks, Jah Mason and Capleton to modern day Popcaan and Vybes Kartel. Some of my friends call it ‘young people music.’
I have also been listening to Nigerian music…. I like the rhythms….. and it’s becoming popular in the Caribbean.
Many of older friends and age mates prefer ‘oldie goldies’ and are astonished when I say I’m not really a fan. They refer to classical music as ‘white people music’ and seldom recognise reggae, rap, funk, soul or blues as ‘Black’ music, preferring instead to call it ‘young people music’ or nonsense.
Yet, some of these friends enjoy going to ‘Q in the Community’ and dances to listen and dance to ‘oldie goldies’ sung by white people such as Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Matt Monroe, Perry Como, Tom Jones, Patsy Cline, Skeeter Davis, Helen Shapiro and Anita Bryant.
What we mostly agree upon is the art form of calypso.
Democrats Fire Back In Mail-In-Voting Legal War
BY HANNAH BLEAU NOVEMBER 6, 2020
Officials “halted” mail-in ballot counting in Philadelphia following a court order allowing GOP observers to watch the vote count — a ruling that Democrats are now looking to challenge.
Philadelphia paused the count around noon Eastern on Thursday after Democrats took an issue with a court ruling allowing Republican watchers to stand six feet from those counting the ballots. Two Democrat officials told NBC that Democrats are taking their complaint to the state’s Supreme Court:
A spokesperson for the state’s high court quickly quashed the rumor that it had overruled the lower ruling. While the spokesperson denied that a filing had been made, minutes later, they said a filing had been made:
“The crooked and thieving Democrats in Philly oppose having lawful observers watch ballots being counted,” Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller said, questioning why Democrats would “oppose basic transparency”: Earlier, Miller announced the “massive legal victory,” delivered by Judge Christine Fizzano Cannon.
Per the ruling, “all candidates, watchers, or candidate representatives be permitted to be present for the canvassing process … and be permitted to observe all aspects of the canvassing process within 6 feet, while adhering to all COVID-19 protocols, including, wearing masks and maintaining social distancing”:
Trump held a 116,000 as of noon Eastern, but the Biden campaign believes he will secure a victory in the Keystone State due to his advantage with mail-in ballots.
Wait for more weeping wailing and gnashing of TEETH..
“Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s path to the White House came into clear focus Friday as the former vice president took the lead by 5,000 votes over President Trump in decisive Pennsylvania on day four of the ballot count.
A victory in Pennsylvania, with its 20 electoral votes, would give Biden the requisite 270 electoral votes needed to oust the incumbent.”.

The courts cannot ruled so. if the legislative says nine days it is nine days according to Justice Brett Michael Kavanaugh. Do your research and you will find the NC legislative made the decision which was subsequently ruled on by the supreme court of NC. Kavanaugh made it quite plain that if the states’ bodies passed laws pertaining to the length of time ballots are to be received after voting day, that judges have obey the legislative ruling.
@Dr. Lucas
Then Trump will have no problem proving his case to the SCOTUS.
One other outcome to consider.
Congress elects the President.
One state one vote.
In which case Trump wins.
So, under what circumstances does Congress do the election?
If you remember, Trump did mention this a while back!!
https://theconversation.com/congress-could-select-the-president-in-a-disputed-election-149580
Interesting quote, a gentle reminder to the Fuhrer in the White House.
If the Congress does end up selecting the President and Trump wins, then he will have effectively have won in a landslide!!
David
He seems to have had assurances from permanent government or deep-state forces.
@Quaker John
Is that an earthquake, a landslide or a flood? I can’t stand volcanic eruptions.
Wishful thinking people. Unless they can demonstrate numerous cases of voter fraud with video evidence or someone involved in the process coming forward, this election belongs to Biden. They missed their chance when they failed to pause the counting of mail-in ballots until proper scrutiny was in place.
When the court case is lost, they will truly take the gloves off and all the information on his son’s hard drive linking him to China, Ukraine, Russia and business dealings with come out in public and they will bring down Biden before he gets sworn in.
@ David November 6, 2020 12:02
Who knows? From the outset ,I have always stated Trump being an outsider had as many enemies among the Republicans as he did among the Democrats: it remains to be seen.
I came across this article on germ warfare ( something I am interested in) on Black listed news .org. The whole article can be accessed at the “Washington Times.” Either Biden and Obama are naive or they are Chinese assets.
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE: CHINA ALREADY COLLECTS DNA PROFILES OF AMERICANS
November 6, 2020 12:02 PM
SOURCE: TECHNOCRACY.NEWS
CHINA IS ENGAGING IN THE MOST PERVASIVE AND DANGEROUS FORM OF EUGENICS EVER SEEN IN HUMAN HISTORY. BY CONTROLLING SPECIFIC DNA CHANGES THROUGH ENGINEERED VIRUSES, ITS BIOLOGICAL WARFARE PROGRAMS COULD INTENTIONALLY WIPE OUT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF HUMANS. ⁃ TN EDITOR
Civilized nations are bound to obey the law of war embodied in the Geneva Conventions. The Conventions outlaw acts such as the intentional targeting of civilian populations and the creation and stockpiling of biological weapons. Despite those obligations, China is evidently eager to violate the Conventions because of opportunities presented by the advance of medical science.
At least since the 2002 publication of “Unrestricted Warfare,” a book by two People’s Liberation Army (PLA) colonels, Chinese military thinking has extended the concept of a battlefield to every aspect of military and civilian existence. The unlimited “battlefield” now means that China intends to include biological warfare among the most significant means of fighting a war.
From several news reports beginning in 2019 we know of a 2010 book called, “War for Biological Dominance,” by a professor at China’s Third Military Medical University, which emphasized the use of biological warfare. The theoretical basis continued in a 2015 essay by Gen. He Fuchu (then-president of China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences) in which he argued that biotechnology will become the new “strategic commanding heights” of national defense, from biomaterials to “brain control” weapons.
Theory was made into doctrine in the 2017 edition of a PLA National Defense University textbook which debuted a section about biology as a domain of military struggle, mentioning the potential for new kinds of biological warfare to include “specific ethnic genetic attacks.”
China is evidently eager to violate its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention, part of the Geneva Conventions, which prohibits the development and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons.
China has reportedly begun using genomic science — the study of DNA “profiles” of individuals and ethnic groups — to identify its Uighur Muslim population, which is being severely oppressed. It has also created a national “gene bank,” intending to make it the world’s largest depository of genomic data.
CFIUS — the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. — is an interagency group that has regulatory power over foreign purchases of U.S. companies and real estate. The State Department and the Department of Defense both play prominent roles in it. Under the Obama-Biden administration, CFIUS foolishly approved Beijing Genomics Incorporated’s (BGI’s) purchase of Complete Genomics Inc., (CGI) a U.S. company, in 2012.
By approving that purchase, CFIUS gave BGI access to CGI’s database of American DNA profiles and entry into the U.S. genomics market. It was akin to enabling the Chinese company Huawei to build a 5G network in the U.S., which President Trump stopped, because an Huawei-built 5G network would give China access to virtually all U.S. data.
BGI claims it is not owned by the Chinese government, but that claim is in doubt because of its several connections to the Beijing regime. BGI hosts government laboratories and several of its executives are former government officials.
In July, two subsidiaries of BGI — Xinjiang Silk Road BGI and Beijing Liuhe BGI — were blacklisted by the United States for their helping the Chinese identify and oppress the Uighurs. BGI itself apparently wasn’t blacklisted because it is heavily involved in genetic studies with companies in the U.S., meaning it has access to vastly more American DNA profiles than the acquisition of CGI gave it.
We have to take seriously China’s thinking about military applications of biological warfare, including specific “ethnic genetic attacks.” By broadening the concept of biowarfare — which it labels one of the principal domains of war — into fields such as genomics, the study of human DNA, China intends to create weapons based on genomic data. The concept is not fanciful.
…@November 6, 2020 12:41 PM
I would suggest you stop smirking. Why do you think that all of a sudden it is being claimed that Trump is being irresponsible for stating that fraud took place? I will tell why: Trump has massive support among ordinary Americans who make up the military. All he has to do is to tell them take up arms and the American government can’t do shit all about apart from starting a civil war. Biden will never be accepted as genuine elected president. You do not seem to understand that the USA is close to a civil war. There are two conflicting views of the way forward for America and both sides hold strong views about their stance and civil wars usually arise in circumstances like those alluded to.
…
That’s why Van is devastated by the simple fact that Trump’s movement is huge and growing and the country has not repudiated him!!
His first missive was made when he believed America would repudiate Trump.
He understands what is coming and that Trump will in all probability be the next president.
Trump himself holds the key!!
Van understands now that Trump has the moral authority to do what needs to be done.
It’s the 68 million!!

The insurrection act is available if needed.

MSNBC host calls half of America racist for refusing to vote to destroy their countryPublished 2 hours ago on November 6, 2020
The 2020 election results are shrouded in uncertainty. But no matter how it goes, the media is furious they didn’t have their Biden landslide. And an MSNBC host just called half of America racist for refusing to vote to destroy their country. Americans are more unsure of the election process now than ever before.
In states like Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, irregularities are making it clear that no matter what the result is, Americans aren’t going to buy it. And if Biden squeaks through a victory, the Fake News Media won’t be happy about it. aFTER years of pushing anti-Trump propaganda on the airwaves, anything less than a Biden landslide proves they don’t have the power they thought they did.If Americans actually believed them, there is no way Trump would come anywhere close to re-election.
But MSNBC’s Joy Reid has an explanation as to why they aren’t buying their narrative: half of America is racist! The same Joy Reid who nearly got thrown off the air for anti-Semitism wants you to believe that everybody who voted for Trump is a racist. While talking to Rachel Maddow, Reid said that the closeness of the election is “enervating,” and “aggravating.” She went on to talk about how she was counting on a national “repudiation” of the Trump presidency coming following all their reporting against him.
“I do think it’s because we’ve been reporting for five years,” she began. “About Russia, about national security, you know, just undermining our national security. You know, the impeachment. The racism. The Nazis. All of it. And then COVID laying on top of it felt like a repudiation was coming.” She then went on to accuse Americans who vote for Trump of “racism.” “And I think even though we intellectually understand what America is at its base,” she said.
“That there is a great amount of racism, anti-blackness, anti-wokeness, this idea that political correctness is some sort of scheme to destroy white America.” Joy Reid has a huge voice on the Left, and her words should terrify any Trump supporter about a potential Biden presidency.
If half of America is racist according to the Left, and Democrats get power, they will certainly use that power to finally get the revenge they have been salivating over. But many believe that the only way Democrats will get there is through fraud.

Trump is president till January 20th, 2021!!
Commander in chief of the US Government until then!!
Here’s y next musical selection dedicated to uknowwho
Trump will contest various state elections in court.
If he wins the electoral votes through the court there is no need for him to choose the “final solution”!!
He has repeatedly told his supporters the facts of life at the rallies!!
They just need to be patient and let him do what he has to.
They don’t need to do anything at all!!
…..oh, I forget, alot of the geniuses on here have not been watching his rallies or listening to Rush!!
@ Hal November 6, 2020 1:16 PM
I have not checked out religious ties of the “Washington Times”. I know it is a conservative outlet just like the :Gateway Pundit”, “The Washington Examiner” and the “Daily Caller”. There is another one called the ‘Washington Free Beacon” ,I don’t know its leanings
As you have said, there is very little attention being paid to the Orwellian intrusion of “Big Brother” into the every day life of the citizenry. It is amusing, the very people of have subverted democracy are condemning Trump for saying fraud took place.
Here is the genius of Donald Trump.
He still doesn’t have to answer the question until his legal remedies are exhausted.
The clown in the WH spent the last five years cussing and denigrating John McCain and no one could stop him. In the days preceding the election McCain’s widow endorsed Biden and Arizona which was McCain’s home has been solidly Republican for generations ( the home of arch conservatist Barry Goldwater) and also has a Republican Governor now has two Senators who are Democrats. Arizona’s is also poised to deliver its electoral votes to Biden. What will those shouting fraud say about Arizona?
The clown in the WH started his electoral campaign with a lie and he is ending it with another batch of lies shouting fraud but we knew it would come to this after all he said that about the last election and he won but he has said that the only fair election is one that he wins.
Good riddance to bad rubbish
The wheels have finally fallen off
DR LUCAS
TRUMP WAS WARNED OF THE PLAY BOOK THAT WOULD BE USED A WHILE AGO
MY UNDERERSTANDING IS THAT WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE WAS THE SYSTEM USED BY HARRIS WHEN SHE WON HER FIRST ELECTION IN CALIFORNIA
SHE WAS BEATEN THEN FAIR AND SQUARE ON ELECTION DAY; THEN THEY BROUGHT IN THE REQUISITE NUMBER OF MAIL IN BALLOTS JUST AS OCCURED HERE IN AT LEAST FIVE STATES, AIDED BY FB TWITTER AND THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA.
IT APPEARS ALSO THAT NOT MANY REPUBLICANS ARE BEHIND TRUMP
THEY ARE NOT LOYAL AT ALL
…. and then the child follows who tries to explain what he thinks he understands Trump to have said!!
@ Robert
It was the Unification church, also called the Moonies after its leader. A few years ago they had a big legal battle against the Daily Mail and I was sent in undercover to expose them. A great exercise. They are very litigious.
They had their headquarters in Lancaster Gate, next to Notting Hill, and I was embedded as a member. It is a story to tell. @Robert, sometimes you see the underbelly of society which makes you wonder.
What a loud of shiiite by one doctor booboo to another.

I have watched Reid on the computer. She talks about racism all the time just like Kamala Harris. There are the elites on both coasts of the USA who do not have a clue about how the majority of Americans live. They seem to think playing the future markets on “Wall Street” is all there is to life. Jokers like Reid haven’t a real clue about life. The Wall Street fat cats will never go into the armed forces. This is where Trump is holding the aces. All it takes is for one or two colonels to get pissed off and move in with their brigades and take control of things. It isn’t the generals that start these things, it is always the colonels. Very few people buy the bs that the MSM is peddling that Biden won the election fairly. Trump in the future will be rated as one of the greatest presidents. Trump can make so much trouble for these people and they are now beginning to understand the situation. He however really loves his country which is more than can be said for a lot of politicians. As you said they are surprised that so many people voted for Trump. According to the “Gateway Pundit” “It’s official – President Trump breaks the record for most votes received by a Presidential candidate in a Presidential campaign.” Biden’s votes are not being considered due to the high level of fraud. Utah Attorney General Claims “Compromised Election Process” – Will Take Personal Leave Time to Help President Trump Fight in Several States. Gateway Pundit.
@Sargeant
The Commander in Tweets was able to mobilize republicans to vote in large numbers, an improvement on 2016. Biden was able to trump him.
David
That is not him speaking. That is what he’s being told to say.
The powers that be.
Whoever is foolish enough to say Trump supporters are racist is also saying that some of those racists came from Democrats!!
So Democrats must be racist too!!
The problem the media and the Democrats have is that Trump has a growing base!!
Van Jones, gets it too … and he is devastated by it.
“Twitter permanently suspends Steve Bannon after he calls for beheading of Anthony Fauci, Christopher Wray.”
too dangerous to be allowed a platform..he was not even saying it in jest, deadly serious.
Don’t know who is going to be singing the loudest yet, but someone will…
“Joe Biden expanded his lead over President Trump in Nevada on Friday as thousands of ballots poured in from deep blue parts of the state, bolstering the Democrat’s chances for winning this year’s nail-biter of an election.
Accounting for the latest batch of ballots, Biden holds a 1.7% edge over Trump in Nevada, with about 13% of the results still outstanding, according to tallies from The Associated Press. Before the Friday ballot dump, Biden held a roughly 0.8% lead in the state.”
Too exhausted to do more than watch from the sidelines, these people got way too much energy…the BU fowls from another mother can pick up the fight….lol

Back in the 2000 election at the time Al Gore conceded having spent 37 days in court trying to pick up the electoral votes he needed, the Democrats held far fewer states than they do now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_presidential_election
He had no option to concede and could not invoke the “final solution” Trump has at his disposal.
Even if the court had given him the electoral votes, Bush could have invoked the “final solution” and won!!
Once the Democrats fiddled with the 2020 election they were always going to be handing it to Trump on a silver platter.
Just shows how important it was to beat Trump.
Trump will just say thank you.
Someone I know says Trump conducted the ultimate sting!!
