What Should Happen To Liz Cheney?

 There's probably forty-odd people who served out of DC as either a House member or Senate member....claiming to be Republican, and spent four years in some 'reality' staging a front against Trump.  At the end of the Trump era (Jan 2021)....if they'd just shut-up and gotten on with their regular job....all of them might have survived on. 

Well....most just weren't finished in January 2021, and continued along some path to show folks they were still anti-Trump.  One can't really say what the payback was or how they saw this 'purpose' in life....but it had become like some passion or Baptist-type 'revival' situation where they just couldn't walk away.

So you come to Liz Cheney.....thinking with all her passion....folks in Wyoming would just sign up and do another primary-win for her.  That didn't happen.

Liz more or less doubled down.....saying she'd campaign for some Democrat in another state, and suggested she'd be some political figure still....appearing on TV and being a ultra-moderate Republican.

I suspect that CNN or MSNBC will hire her for a one-year period....thinking they can still use her 'used-car-sales' gimmick.  At the end of the one-year, I think she's finished....too toxic to attract anyone, and will end up let go.  At that point, she'll try to write a book and explain herself, but most folks are finished listening to her.  

In ten years.....no one will really remember Liz Cheney and that will be the last chapter written on the topic. 

Is Swimming Racist?

 I sat and read through a paragraph-long story which goes to a comment by John Fetterman's wife (he's a candidate for Senator in Penn).  She said in a blunt statement....that even swimming is racist.

I pondered over this for a while.

How do you logically come to a view of racism being a feature of swimming?  You might make the statement that only whites know how to swim....because they hang out at pools.  Statistical proof?  Zero.  If you live in the inner-city of Baltimore.....as for pool attendees....it's probably a 7-to-1 black to white situation.  Same story for New Orleans.

Back around three years ago, someone did a statistical review and said that almost two out of three black kids can't swim.  Course, this was a national type survey, and generally avoided just collecting on highly urbanized areas like Chicago or Detroit.

If you went to dirt poor communities in West Virginia, and asked on whites knowing how to swim?  No one cites numbers, but I'd take a wild guess that fewer than 10-percent of white kids know how to swim in that particular region.  If you applied polling in Alaska?  Ha....I bet fewer than 5-percent of white Alaskan kids know how to swim.

People taking this Fetterman statement as bogus?  I think they will mostly laugh and just not take it as a absolute sure statement.
