Politics: 2019 Elections

Well, as promised, here is the first post on future elections that I will tell you about in this blog. I am going to post a date regarding the 2019 elections. You might not know that there are even things to vote for this year. I’m largely only going to mention the three states that have governor races this year. It is up to you to keep track of any other election that might be going on this year if you aren’t part of these three states.

Which states are electing governors? Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana are. I will do a more in depth post about Kentucky in the next post. I won’t do the other two states as in depth. Note that the primary for Kentucky and Mississippi have both already happened. Both Kentucky and Mississippi have Republican governors. The governor of Mississippi is term limited. Louisiana has a Democratic governor. Now let’s take a look as to what is happening in each state.

Kentucky: Republican incumbent Matt Bevin is up against Democratic Andy Beshear. I am close enough to this state to see some ads for the election, but have only seen two thus far. I do not know what to make of the candidates.

Mississippi: Jim Hood won the primary on the Democratic side. A runoff between Tate Reeves and Bill Waller Jr. on the Republican side will take place on August 27th of this year. I wouldn’t know who to pick on the Republican side, but wouldn’t go with either of them when it comes time for the general election anyways.

Louisiana: John Bel Edwards is a Democrat incumbent running for reelection. He is not the only Democrat in the race. There are also a lot of Republicans in the race as well. The primary voting system is kind of weird and you won’t see parties mentioned on the ballot. If someone gets enough votes in the first round, there won’t be a second round. It is possible that there will be two candidates from the same party in the runoff if there is one. The main voting is on October 12th with a possible runoff on November 16th. Note that both dates are Saturdays.

Before I end this post, it is worth noting that since there isn’t as much to talk about in an off year election like 2019, posts that I’ll mention before the events have happened might cover both of the primaries for president. I’ll start with the Democratic one since they are the challengers in this race and go into the Republican one next. I will do this on and off until I am able to get to the main election for president once each party’s nominee is decided. Now to end this post, I will get to the schedule of the elections this year.

Schedule (dates are Tuesdays unless otherwise mentioned)

August 27, 2019: Mississippi runoff election

October 12, 2019 (Saturday): Louisiana jungle primary election, possibly only election

November 5, 2019: general election, Kentucky and Mississippi general election date


November 16, 2019 (Saturday): Louisiana runoff election (if needed)

If you are keeping track of when this show was originally available on CBS all access versus when the show is airing for free now (6-16-2019 versus 2-19-2017), the delay of time that is was 850 days. Does that mean that whenever the second season will air for free (if it does), it will also be a delay like that?

В «Тайме» от 14 мая 2018 года была опубликована статья под названием «ФБР в кризисе», в которой объясняются проблемы, возникающие с бюро после различных проблем, таких как неправильное обращение с расследованием электронной почты Хилари Клинтон. Эндрю МакКейб помог утвердить утечку в Фонд Клинтона незадолго до выборов в 2016 году, что заставило Джеффа Сессиона уволить его до запланированной отставки. Это упомянуто на странице 37 этого выпуска. Джеймс Коми совершил две грубые ошибки, которые всех разозлили. Сначала, 7-5-2016, он сделал пресс-конференцию, где он очистил Хилари Клинтон от преступлений. При этом он возобновил расследование менее чем за две недели до выборов, согласно странице 36 статьи. Все это заставляет задуматься, а не была ли основная причина проблем с выборами связана с Россией вообще.

If I had to guess why the show is airing now, I think that it is likely because of the new show that the showrunners of this show will be doing on CBS called Evil. I think that this would help promote the show in a way. I don’t think that it was an online petition or anything like that which got this to air for free on TV.

Earlier in this blog, I had shared a video of the ten hour version of the Harry Potter Ding Dong Song. Sometimes you will hear people say that they watched all of a ten hour YouTube video but you won’t believe them. Well, someone did watch all ten hours of that other video and posted a video of themselves doing it. Here is a link to this other video in question.


Something that I might have to keep track of some more at some point in time is the show Without a Trace. I plan to add actors from that into cast updates of certain blogs of mine. I might even have to post a link to the theme song from it here, but I don’t think that I will since I have the first season on DVD and no one in the original cast ever left the show. It is interesting as most shows aren’t like that.

Now since I won’t be able to post much about politics in this blog for a while since I won’t know when I’ll be back with posts at all after this, I might as well get to the idea that is going around that Trump somehow isn’t racist. This idea would be laughable if so many people weren’t trapped in this horrible line of thinking. What’s sad is that there are some news outlets that aren’t helping dispel any of these myths.


In the meantime, we have to remember all sorts of important things about the world. While one side seems to be stuck on the wrong idea that climate change either isn’t real or isn’t caused by humans (either to not fix the problem or because the coal or some other industry is paying them enough money to continue to cause problems since they would be negatively affected by it), another side realizes that there is only one planet earth and we should save it. Solving climate change is important. And we might have to solve it incredibly soon too.


Continuing the story of the false imprisonment of a US born man who was detained by ICE, he seems to have gone through a lot worse things than we realize. And he might have gone through stuff that illegal immigrants (who are still human beings) might suffer through as well. This man should become the face of changing the whole debate on illegal immigration.


Also earlier, I talked about the fake presidential seal that had aired during one of Trump’s many campaign rallies. The follow-up story to it explains who did this, but not how it wound up at the rally, which I think remains unknown still.


We still have issues of people who are accused of sexual misconduct in some way. Here is an article about another one. If this were a Democrat, this would be the end of the nomination. But since this is a Republican, then you can bet that this will not be the end of this story like it should be.


If you ever hear about Trump having his highest approval rating ever, know that while it isn’t a lie, it is not the full story either. He has never had more than 50% of people supporting him in his approval rating his whole term. No other president that had a recorded approval rating failed to have a positive day of polling in their term.


Switching to the show for a bit, it is worth noting that they keep saying Ponzi scheme over and over again and I haven’t been saying it in this blog. The reason I haven’t been saying it is that I didn’t know how to spell it and Word kept underlining it in red, making me think that it wasn’t spelt right. Well now I was able to look it up and see what the real spelling of it was.

There has been a lot of issues between the two sides of our political world in this country. The main issues might be best described in this article. People are convinced of things that just aren’t true or correct. They live in their own world.


Interesting things that I have read about protests and other things like that is about something that I never knew before. Something important happened once called the silent protest. You can read about it more here.


Now if someone ever tells you that both sides are the same in regards to politics in that both are ridiculous or that both are corrupt, then you should show them this article and point out the errors of their ways. There are too many issues with what is going on in this world to think that they are the same.


Since voter suppression is a huge problem, I thought that I might as well explain some of what’s going on with that. What can be done to fix it? Well, you might as well do any of the four things mentioned here to fight this terrible issue.


Here is yet another article on this man whose name I should remember and hope that people remember since he is very important to the country now. They were seriously going to deport this US citizen simply because they wouldn’t believe that he was born here. They wanted to get him to do this.


There are huge problems caused by white supremacy. But at least some people know that there issues with it and know that they can stop it if they know of the problem and can prevent issues with it.


Now that there have been two new mass shootings in less than 24 hours from each other, you might wonder what my thoughts on the two new mass shootings are. One was in Dayton, Ohio. The other was in El Paso, Texas. The Texas shooting was one done by a racist person inspired by Trump to kill as many Hispanics as he could. The other one was by a more liberal minded person who was inspired by Elizabeth Warren in some way. We don’t know enough about either one right now, although I hope to find out more about them later.

It seems that people keep thinking that doing nothing about mass shootings might do something to change it. Remember what Einstein said insanity was. Maybe we are focusing on the wrong thing that people can’t agree on right now. Whether or not we will ever be able to offer any help besides thoughts and prayers is unknown.


Act one has Maia brought into the office in front of Barbara and Adrian. They want her to be more bold and not apologize too much for everything. She was in for a review of sorts. Lucca then comes in for the same sort of thing. They want her to be a partner. The song from the series premiere was briefly playing in the background. Maia and Lucca talk for a bit with Maia worried about if they like her or not.

Marisa comes to bring a Mr. Stack (I think) about a certain case where he is set up and accused of being a cyber terrorist. There is some bad stuff on his computer that could cause a blackout that he has no idea how it got there. He offers bitcoin as currency and there are some random words on the screen about it. They wonder whether or not to take the case.

Act two is when Colin and Lucca talk to each other. They had broken up. She gives him the flash drive with the information on it regarding the crime. Henry is offered a deal to get less time in jail. He calls someone for help. Diane gets a call about her husband and he was in a car accident. People come for Lucca. She is being detained as a witness in a case.

Act three has Henry talking to someone. He doesn’t want to go back to prison. He then calls Maia about attending dinner together. He was also told not to say goodbye to anyone. Maia wonders what to do about Lucca. Diane goes to the hospital in order to see Curtis, her estranged husband. He had called her earlier this morning. She is really worried about him.

Colin doesn’t like what went on with Lucca. He wants to quit, but gets promoted instead. There is chaos as they try to free Lucca. Maia winds up with Adrian. Lucca is being charged with working with the cyber terrorist. They don’t think that they have a good judge for this case.

Act four has this man from earlier explaining to Henry that people want to go after Maia for perjury because of her testimony to Sue Sylvester in the previous episode and Henry has to take the 35 years in order to get her off. Marissa looks after who might have done something and they find a man from earlier. Diane talks to him as Marissa is Jewish and Jay, the investigator, is black. They still don’t know what he might be doing in regards to the blackout.

Diane is shown a video of Curt and he is shown to have saved a baby, the act that got him in the hospital. Adrian believes that the flash drive might have been a Trojan horse. But it was an act of sorts for some reason. Maia talks to Mr. Staples, the man who is very sinister and showed up earlier this season. Maia fights with the other lawyer as the case gets really crazy in some way.

Maia talks to her parents at a meal. Henry wants to take the deal of 35 years, but still wants to have one last meal with his family. Diane talks to Mr. Staples. He then talks to some man that I’m not sure if we’ve seen before or not. This man is arrested. It is their client that shows up and a blackout happens just when he wants to it.

Act five has Lucca being released as the real hacker was caught. Diane and Adrian talk to each other about various things. Meanwhile, the Rindalls eat a meal together. Maia learns that her father is turning himself in. She wants him to fight, but he admits that he is guilty of this. He paid off whoever learned or got suspicious of the Ponzi scheme. He is then taken away.

Diane talks to Curtis about what all he has done. He wants to invite her to dinner. He promises that an affair won’t happen again. Lucca talks to Maia after showing up to where Maia lives. People show up to where Maia lives. Since Henry fled, she is being placed under arrest. Now I feel like I might have to get the second season on DVD as I’m not sure when or if the second season will air on TV or not.

There will be some things to talk about in this long closing, but not much that I will know for sure with no way or knowing when or if this show will air its second season on TV. I won’t know for sure when this blog will return as a result. If you go back to my first blog post, it will have a link to my Good Wife blog. It is still updated at least once a month. It will also include updates into who is not part of the cast of this show after the first season of it was over.

I won’t know for sure when most of these updates will be in this blog. I will be posting about elections in purely political posts until there is a show for me to blog about again. The posts will probably be on the second or third Fridays of each month. There could be some on other times as well, depending on if there aren’t enough read posts in my Elementary blog. I will not talk about elections that won’t matter at this point in time.

What is the election schedule of what I’ll talk about? Well, if you have ever read any of my Madam Secretary blog, you would know which states I might care about in terms of senator and governor elections more than others. I’ll also do ones about what happened in general with each thing.

I’ll start with the 2019 elections. They are the Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi governor elections. The 2020 elections include presidential, class two senators, and governor elections in 11 states including Missouri and Indiana. The 2021 elections are Virginia and New Jersey governor elections. The 2022 elections are class three senators and governor elections in 36 states. The 2023 elections are the same as 2019. The 2024 elections are the class one senators.


Well, that’s about it for this blog post. You will not see any political posts on my facebook page if you know them from there. There’s not much else to say. If I get the second season on DVD, posts on it will appear randomly. Days posts of this blog could appear right now are Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I hope that I can move all political stuff to this blog once Madam Secretary ends, although it could wind up in any blog about a political enough show. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
