  3. Christie is a joke, as is the media.

    A really bad one.

    Christie wants in on the grifting. He’s a David French wannabe.

    “With the spectacle of kaiju candidates Ronzilla and King Don flattening Tokyo as they battle it out for the presidential nomination, it’s no surprise that the Senate races are getting short-shrift. But don’t overlook them – look the hell out of them. These are hugely important because a Senate majority provides a critical bulwark – not the sissy dork kind but the real kind – against total Dem dominance if we lose our razor-thin House majority and if we nominate a presidential candidate who can’t get it done in the general. We have a very good map this cycle – we can’t blow it again.

    Let’s talk about the presidential nominee thing for a second because it will be important. If we nominate Donald Trump, every Democrat invertebrate is going to come crawling out of his/her/xir libhole to vote against him. Nothing motivates these weasels like The Donald. This applies even if that crusty, senile old pervert with the popularity of chlamydia is on the ticket. Sure, Democrat voters understand that Biden is in a persistent vegetative state – maybe he should borrow some of Hunter’s blow to liven things up – but they hate Trump more. Their election of Keystone Shrek demonstrates they are willing to vote for a golem over Trump. Sadly, the same is true of some Republicans who will not vote for The Big T regardless – they should vote for the nominee regardless, but people are not always rational. So, in the Senate races, if Trump is on the ticket, it’s going to matter a lot. You don’t have to like that reality, but a reality it is.

    Here’s another wild card. You might have noticed unless you get your news from the regime media, that Joe Biden is a massively corrupt scumbag with a dope-addled son who leaves his yeyo lying around the Oval Office when he’s not blasting rails of it off the booties of Ukrainian hookers. Well, the House GOP has noticed, and it is gathering the goods. There is approximately the same chance of the GOP impeaching Biden next year as there is Hunter Biden knocking up a stripper on your average Wednesday night down at the Cinnamon Hippo – 100%. This is a problem because the Democrat senators from red and purple states are going to have to vote on convicting the PINO – President-In-Name-Only – and if they go with the evidence, they alienate the pinkos they need. If they don’t, normal people may be offended by giving Crusty a pass. This is a huge dilemma for them, and their pain as they contort their flabby bodies trying to avoid it somehow will be hysterically funny to behold.

    Also, no discussion of the GOP Senate will be complete without talking about Mitch McConnell. Love him, hate him, whatever – he was the dominant force in the Senate for years, and now…where did he go? We barely hear from him. We know he got badly hurt recently, and while he’s back, he’s definitely out of the limelight. His record in 2022 – like many people’s – was bad. Keeping a low profile might help with hardcore conservatives, who are pretty much done with him. His not being the face of the Senate race will help, but he will not be out of the game. You can be sure he will be behind the scenes, including raising money.

    Let’s look at the key Senate races and understand that if the Republicans are smart, they can get the two seats we need to retake the majority. But then, remember that they are Republicans.”

  11. It is a fact that there are racial disparities in drowning deaths. A quick Google search brings up a bunch of articles on the matter. Here’s one.

    “A look back at U.S. history also helps explain why Black children and their parents are less likely to swim. Black families had limited access to public swimming pools not only during segregation but also afterward.

    “When public swimming pools were racially desegregated, the reaction to that was for individuals and communities to invest money in private swimming pools,” says Jeff Wiltse, a history professor at the University of Montana and author of the 2010 book “Contested Waters: A Social History of Swimming Pools in America.” “The shift from public provision to private provision was in large part, not entirely, but was in large part driven by racial desegregation.”

    Many public swimming pools closed and for Black families who didn’t have the means to join private clubs or pay for expensive swimming lessons, lack of access to public swimming pool continued after desegregation in the 1960s.

    “This past discrimination casts a long shadow,” writes Wiltse in his 2014 paper “The Black-White Swimming Disparity in America: A Deadly Legacy of Swimming Pool Discrimination,” published in the Journal of Sports and Social Issues. “As a result of limited access to swimming facilities and swim lessons and the unappealing design of most pools earmarked for Blacks, swimming did not become integral to the recreation and sports culture within African American communities.”

    Wiltse says that lack of access to swimming pools is “largely responsible for this contemporary disparity,” and says that generally, lack of swimming ability contributed to drowning deaths.”

    Along with this, I found that 80% of drowning deaths are male. So, water is sexist, too. 😉

  12. It’s fairly common knowledge here that inner city families don’t visit the beach (even though it’s fairly close) and that swimming skills often lag within minority communities due to lack of exposure and opportunity for “water sports.” Backyard pools are rare, of course, and parents (often a single parent) struggling to support a household have little time or extra income for swim lessons at neighborhood parks — if there is one with a pool.

    Some minority children have never even been to the beach, but live only several miles inland from the coastline.

    And not uncommon if parents never learned to swim that their children may be more likely not to be exposed to lessons or other opportunities, either.

    So the drowning statistics aren’t surprising to me either.

  13. “Racial disparity” does not necessarily mean that it is due to racism. But as the article indicates, many black people did not/do not have the same access to swimming lessons and pools as white people do.

    If it’s due to poor parenting, then what would account for the much higher incidents of males drowning?

    I’m not sure what the experts have to say on that, but I would hazard a guess that it could be due to men and boys tending towards more risky behavior.

  14. Where I grew up our town had many many public swimming pools. They were well integrated. Every child participated in the Little Fish program…to learn the basics of swimming. It was free to all children no matter the color of their skin. Maybe we were an anomaly … maybe there should have been more towns like my hometown. The children I was acquainted with from the black community were raised with strong parents. When it seemed I may be targeted by a very activist angry gal in high school one friend interceded for me…he told me to not be afraid because he was looking out for me….that gal left me alone…because of Larry. His Dad and my Dad worked together at General Motors…Larry knew how to swim…in and out of the water…..

  15. Our schools all have swim classes for certain grades. I can’t imagine having a child not taught to swim. Of course, we have lakes everywhere and water sports are abundant. It is an important thing to learn for anyone who will be around pools, lakes or rivers.

  16. Fifteen year old can’t swim. We had her in lessons for years. Including private lessons. All the others can, but we still use life jackets when boating or playing in the river.
