Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

It would be an interesting exercise to go back and see how the posters around here reacted to Herschel Walker's candidacy in real time.

But since we have normalized bragging about grabbing women by the pussy and being found liable for doing that very thang, it seems to me that would be a waste of time.

If Cuomo gets Saliwas 15% he wins

If Jill Stein got all Trump’s votes, she’d be president. Why is one candidate simply entitled to all of another candidate’s support? Especially in this particular race, where I’d imagine most of Sliwa’s voters lived under Cuomo as Governor and have plenty of reasons to never vote for him under any circumstances.
 
how many people died in texas when the electric grid failed...and what year did that happen

ChatGPT said:​

The Texas electric grid failure occurred in February 2021, during a severe winter storm officially named Winter Storm Uri.

🗓️ When it happened​

  • Dates: February 14 – 19, 2021
  • The state’s power grid, operated by ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas), suffered catastrophic failures due to extreme cold that froze natural-gas pipelines and power generation equipment.
  • More than 4 million households lost power, many for several days, in sub-freezing temperatures.

⚰️ Mortality estimates​

Different sources give varying counts because determining whether a death was directly or indirectly caused by the outage (rather than the storm itself) is complex:
SourceEstimate of deathsMethodology
Texas Department of State Health Services (official)246 deathsCertified cause-of-death records listing hypothermia, carbon-monoxide poisoning, or other storm-related causes.
BuzzFeed News investigation (2022)~700 deathsIncluded indirect deaths (e.g., medical-equipment failure, accidents, delayed emergency care).
University of Texas Energy Institute / media synthesis400 – 800 deaths (range)Estimates combining official counts and excess-mortality analysis.

⚡ Context​

  • Many of the deaths were due to hypothermia, carbon monoxide poisoning (from indoor generator use), or lack of medical access.
  • Economic damages exceeded $100 billion, making it one of the costliest disasters in Texas history.
  • The event spurred major debate over ERCOT’s isolation from the national grids, lack of winterization, and market design incentives that discouraged preparedness.

It was great to see Texas respond to that tragedy in a productive manner that has secured their grid for decades

On the flip side, the people who's homes were burned to the ground in California nearly 2 years ago havent laid a single brick to rebuild.

It must be that the engineers in California are truly retarded

Yes. Let’s do that

Gary Black coming off a successful stint as Ag Commish was the heavy and normalized favorite.

Then the democrat money came pouring in for Herschel because the dems knew they could bring up his past and beat him. They had the dirt.
 
Sears wasn’t a serious candidate. Winning LG was due to Youngkin. Republicans seem to be eager to go for diversity hires of their own when the opportunity presents itself. There is a huge gap between Tim Scott and Sears or Byron or Diamond and Silk.
