November 2nd: voting day.
I took advantage of the busy day to exercise my freedom to cast my selections for local representatives. One of the candidates, an encumbent running for the school board, stood outside of the polls and greeted us in the damp, cool weather. I ended up voting for him. Jeff still votes in his old district while his house is in the town close by. Sometimes being the only one representing your office at the polls works in your favor. Numerous local positions on the ballot had no candidates running. I wrote my husband in to the one he has said he'd like to hold. Wouldn't that be a kicker if he was called and advised he is now the county vote auditor? Stranger things could happen.
In between calls at work today, I watched Louder With Crowder on YouTube. He has a conservative talk show on YouTube, and mirrors it on the application Rumble. He's been demonitized on YouTube and suspended many times for violating their terms of service. His show just was allowed to air this week after his last censorship. YouTube has become militaristic on censorship for anything that the owners disagree with; ie. anything which goes against the current leftist political narrative.
The Louder With Crowder special today was live coverage commentary of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. This young man was involved in the Kenosha riots and is on trial for murder. The prosecution wants to bury him as a murder who came to the town looking for trouble. The defense is presenting evidence that shows him as a young man who came to help defend a business of a friend and to provide medical aid during the riots which broke out due to a very volatile time in Kenosha over a man who was killed by police.
Rittenhouse looked so young as he sat listening to the prosecution and the defense disect his actions in an attempt to sway the jury in their direction. He yawned frequently; probably having issues sleeping up to the big trial.
The clock moves forward and now it's 8:19 p.m. I watch the news coverage for the Virginia race for governor. The race is currently Younkin (R) 55.6% Mcauliffe (D) 43.8. My husband speculates that the election will magically change names by morning. Like so many Americans, we lack real faith in the integrity of the American election process.
May the best men and women win in these elections and may we preserve the integrity, rights, and freedoms of local, state and federal governments.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
