BISBEE WIRE #41/Election results & analysis/Bisbee events/council agenda/ cognitive tests/ig nobels

editor: fred miller November 14, 2022 #41 Nov. 2022


Hello,


An epic battle with the forces of good shining a light on the darkness of the liars and election deniers. They are still out there snarling and whining but curiously there are a lot less listeners. But the antiseptic of sunlight has illuminated most of the dark corners and shown the emptiness of election denying.

Katie Hobbs was called for Governor tonight and most of the other races have been decided with the exception of AG, where Hamadeh is leading, and Supe of Public Instruction where Horne is leading. Those two may be up for a recount once the original count has been completed.

The normally garrulous Kari Lake has not uttered a peep. One could only hope that like an adult she would look at the totals and say she lost and that is it. Was is it about many repugnicans that they can't say the word lose?


However the forces of darkness have cast their ugliness in Cochise County where a straight (ha,ha) Republican ticket won most of the ballot. By a lot. Election denying is alive and well in our county.


A special thanks to Lisa Marra who has been steadfast and competent running this election in the face of dimwits, no nothings, and outright liars.


And the two duped supes + the county recorder are pressing ahead with counting by hand even though they were told by a Superior Court judge and the AZ supreme court it is a no go. Not stopping them from spending our money-a minimum of $10,000 with lots more likely-for the lawyer who represented the cyber ninjas in 2021! There is a significant meeting tomorrow with the supes. Go if you can.


I'll do a more detailed analysis at a later date, but the election info is mostly complete below. I'll also be on Friday at 9:30 on KBRP/Mike Thornton's magazine discussing the election as well as the impact of four large construction projects on visitation and econ impact.


A special thanks to Chuck Feil for his love and support over the years. He ain't feelin his oats lately so vibe him some juice.

ELECTION RESULTS Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, US Senator Mark Kelly, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, and Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee have been declared unofficial winners. The attorney general and Supe of Instruction racs are too close to call and likely will be a recount. As of Monday night these are the reported results. AZ Sec. of State releases daily updates about 7 pm each day. (https://results.arizona.vote/#/featured/33/0)) These totals will change somewhat... About >15k ballots remain to be counted in Maricopa County. It is likely that propositions 132, 309 won't be called until Tuesday. A few state rep races also also too close to call. (If you want a quick pick-you-upper, Michael Moore will do it. Although he has a lot of 'I' in his blog it continues to be a good read. His latest where he details how the cheerleaders for republicans got it so wrong and how he got it right. Go to: https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/midterm-tsunami-truth-42?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email This is the voting context in Cochise County.... For Cochise County 39,381 votes were cast 50.8% of 77,394 eligible voters. It was the 4th lowest turnout of the 15 counties 11,994 ballot cast day of election 27,387 early ballots 8262 ballot remain to be counted (The general election voter registration numbers for Cochise County are: 19, 423 Democrat 26, 959 Independent 30,370 Republican 642 Libertarian 77, 394 Total registered 2022 general election) This is the voting context Statewide.... Statewide, 2,307,807vote were cast 58.59% of 4,143,929, and this will slowly increase and may hit 60% by the end of counting. Yavapai County had a 74% votes cast-highest in the state Apache County had a 36% votes cast the lowest in the state (The general election voter registration numbers Statewide: 1,270,544 Democrat 32,148 Libertarian 1,436,852 Republican 1,404,385 Independent 4,143,929 Total registered 2022 general election) Some early takeaways…

  • Of 15 Arizona counties, 10 voted for Masters

  • Looking at the registration stats for Cochise County, 40% of county voters are registered Republican, 34% Independent, and 25% Democrats. Since Republican candidates are winning by roughly 15% over Democrats, it looks as if Independents spit their votes, although that remains to be seen. In our county Republicans are winning all offices save LD21 and CD 6.

  • One of the problems going into the election was most major news outlets and talking heads were predicting a red wave. There are some signs that partisan/republican polling juiced the polls that they then distributed showing their candidates being favored. Without looking at the source of the polling the media outlets began talking about a red wave a month before the election. However the traditionally good polling outfits showed a much closer race with democrats either very close or winning most of the contentious seats, and election deniers losing.

  • If I was a conspiracy believer-which I am not-there looked to be a coordinated attempt to sway the narrative before the election. (along with other nationally loosely coordinated attempts such as the "we want 100% hand count" of our own duped supes.) Taking a good look at those commentators that were predicting a republican win also. I think you will find most of them were men and they deprecated the effect of the supremes striking down Roe.They consistently underestimated how deep the decision affected women. And that includes some democrats like Bernie Sanders and James Carville. Sanders in particular, although I don't underestimate how much he has done over the years, has historically concentrated on economic issues to the exclusion or downplaying of issues that concern and motivate women.

NEW LAWS THAT HAVE GONE INTO EFFECT

These and many more law went into effect in September. Some of the most restrictive in the county, they reflect the reactionary influence of the national organizations such as ALEC that push state-specific legislation.


HEALTH/COVID

· House Bill 2453 blocks the state and any organizations that receive state taxes from enacting mask mandates on their premises, unless they’re required for reasons other than protection against COVID-19 transmission. Anyone employed by the state or an organization that receives state taxes is exempt from being vaccinated as a condition of employment, unless that employer is a health care provider.

·

· Mayors will no longer be able to close down businesses during a declared state of emergency,

.........

SCHOOLS

· A new law directs school libraries to provide parents with a list of books their children have checked out upon request, and upload a list of books purchased after January 2023 on the school district’s website for at least 60 days for public inspection.

· Parents will be allowed to visit any public school classroom of their choice, whether or not their children attend that school, as long as they are considering enrollment and a visit doesn’t endanger current students. Parents have also been empowered to bring civil lawsuits against officials and schools found to be violating fundamental parental rights to raise their children.


Anti-LGBTQ+ legislation

· A nationwide movement targeting transgender and LGBTQ+ youth across the country included the Arizona state house this year. Trans students interested in playing on their school sports team are prohibited from joining competitive girls teams from high school all the way through college and trans minors are barred from obtaining gender-affirming surgery until they reach adulthood, even if they have parental and medical permission.


ELECTION BILLS

· a new law that prohibits same-day voter registration.

· Counties that use early ballots must now implement a tracking system that lets voters know their ballot has been received, verified and counted or rejected.

· requires people dropping off their ballots to show identification for them to be counted on-site,

· The most notorious election law passed this year is a requirement for voters to prove their U.S. citizenship to vote in presidential elections.

>>>>>>>>>>>> RENTAL CAR TO DO'S Most car owners can decline the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) when they rent a car on a trip. But if you decline the CDW, you should definitely take precautions not to be blamed for any damage to the vehicle that was not your fault. When you pick up your car, get out your smartphone. Take pictures of every dent, ding, and scratch on the vehicle’s exterior and interior. Take photos of the wheels and the windshield. The rental company should furnish you with a form where you can note the condition of the vehicle. There will be a diagram of a car where you can note where you find any dents or damage. Do not drive away before getting an employee to sign it and be sure to take a copy for yourself.

Then, when you return the car, take another round of photos of the car’s exterior and interior. Cover the same ground as you did when you picked up the car. When you get home, download your photos to your computer for safekeeping. Keep these photos until six months have passed since you returned the car.

For most people, it is a significant figure. However, if you condensed 7.8 billion into 100 persons, and then into various percentage statistics, the resulting analysis is relatively much easier to comprehend. Out of 100 : 11 are in Europe 5 are in North America 9 are in South America 15 are in Africa 60 are in Asia 49 live in the countryside 51 live in cities 75 have mobile phones 25 do not. 30 have internet access 70 do not have the availability to go online 83 can read 17 are illiterate. 33 are Christians 22 are Muslims 14 are Hindus 7 are Buddhists 12 are other religions 12 have no religious beliefs. 26 live less than 14 years 66 died between 15 - 64 years of age 8 are over 65 years old. If you have your own home, Eat full meals & drink clean water, Have a mobile phone, Can surf the internet, and have gone to college, You are in the minuscule privileged lot. (in the less than 7% category) Amongst 100 persons in the world, only eight live or exceed the age of 65! If you are over 65 years old, be content & grateful. Cherish life. Grasp the moment. If you did not leave this world before the age of 64, like the 92 persons who have gone before you, you are already the blessed amongst humankind. ...... Anosognosi If you think you are suffering memory loss, read on. Quite interesting: In the following analysis, the French Professor Bruno Dubois, Directorof the Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease (IMMA) at La Pitié-Salpêtrière - Paris Hospital addresses the subject in a rather reassuring way: "If anyone is aware of their memory problems, they do not have Alzheimer's." 1. forget the names of families. 2. do not remember where I put some things . It often happens in people 60 years and older that they complain that they lack memory. "The information is always in the brain, it is the "processor" that is lacking." This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness. Half of people 60 and older have some symptoms that are due to age rather than disease. The most common cases are: - forgetting the name of a person, - going to a room in the house and not remembering why we were going there, - a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress, - a waste of time searching where we left our glasses or keys .. After 60 years most people have such a difficulty, which indicates that it is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years .. Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance of the following statements: 1."Those who are conscious of being forgetful have no serious problem of memory." 2. "Those who suffer from a memory illness or Alzheimer's, are not aware of what is happening." Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of people concerned about their oversights: "The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely we are tosuffer from memory sickness." Now for a little neurological test: Only use your eyes! 1- Find the C in the table below! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 2- If you found the C, then find the 6 in the table below. 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999996999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999 3- Now find the N in the table below. Attention, it's a little more difficult! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM If you pass these three tests without problem: - you can cancel your annual visit to the neurologist. - your brain is in perfect shape! - you are far from having any relationship with Alzheimer's. In any case, if you are over 65 and complaining about a few aches and pains, think again ...92% of people didn't even get that opportunity!! So be pleased with your situation and happy.
