Armando Simon proposes that the GOP should go after another key democrat constituency.

The presidential election will be here before we know it and there is a crucial constituency that conservatives have traditionally ignored but may prove to be the pivotal element in the forthcoming election: the cemetery vote.

For many decades, the Democrats have had the black vote bloc firmly in their rear-end pocket and will probably continue to be that way, whether the Democratic candidate is Jack the Ripper, or Joan of Arc. They also hope that the Hispanic vote may be just as mindlessly subservient as the black voting bloc, but this may not be a certainty since a third of Hispanic voters voted for Trump in spite of the propaganda by the “impartial,” “objective” media in consistently portraying him as an anti-Hispanic racist.

On the other hand, the cemetery vote has repeatedly voted for Democratic candidates in all elections at an astonishing level of 100%. It is truly enviable.

Yet, if we examine this phenomenon what is equally surprising is that this has occurred in spite of Democrats not offering the Dead anything in return for their allegiance. They have not offered them any special status or entitlements. Affirmative Action has completely left them behind. There has not been a quota set aside for them in college admissions. They have not even mentioned the Dead in their speeches!

Unbelievable! The Democrats have simply taken them for granted. It is humiliating, if not tragic.

And this may turn out to be their ultimate downfall.

In my hometown, there were five voting wards. Unexpected democrat wins sometimes occurred, and when that happened everyone would blame “the Sixth Ward,” i.e. the cemeteries up on top of Locust Mountain.

Bayou State of Mind on Facebook yesterday:

North Carolina officials initially estimated the road to Big Chimney would take several months to almost a year to complete. Nevertheless, a team of West Virginia coal miners accomplished the task in remarkably less time – under a week. Their commitment and proficiency deserve significant recognition and thanks. Importantly, they voluntarily undertook this project.

Commenter Reid Morgan adds:

Road is Bat Cave to Chimney Rock, took them 2 days. NC DOT estimated months. Awesome for sure!

-a paved road would be great for sure. What the people need now is ability to get in and out. This is a great accomplishment for the community for sure, but of course heavy rains would be a concern. Speaking with a large quarry operator this week, they’re definitely getting the needed materials out fixing the roads in the mountains as quickly as possible. (Around as much in one month as one year for one smaller quarry in the mountains).

A wrecked and long-forgotten 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Spider made headlines when it was auctioned for nearly $2 million at RM Sotheby’s Monterey Car Week. This Ferrari, chassis number 0406MD, was one of only 13 Pinin Farina-bodied Spiders ever built, adding significant rarity and historical value to the lot despite its battered state. Originally designed for privateer racing, the car boasted Ferrari’s then-new 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine and had been driven by renowned drivers like Franco Cortese. Over time, the car suffered multiple crashes on the racetrack, leaving it in a damaged condition that sidelined it for decades.

In 1978, the Mondial Spider was acquired by U.S. collector Walter Medlin, who stored it in its wrecked state for 45 years. Its rediscovery and subsequent auction shocked the classic car world, as its crumpled frame and charred body didn’t diminish its appeal to collectors. The Mondial Spider’s provenance—being one of the early cars built for Ferrari’s racing program—and its extreme rarity made it a prime candidate for restoration. Auction experts noted the car’s potential to be restored to its former glory, estimating that while the restoration process could cost millions, the car’s value upon completion could far exceed that.

Jalopnik notes:

The restoration would be extensive, but the reward might be worth it. The current iteration of the Mille Miglia has stringent entry requirements. The Italian historic event only allows vehicles confirmed to have participated during the race’s competitive open-road heyday. Yes, the actual cars that were raced in Italy between 1927 and 1957. This research work has already been done to confirm that this Ferrari 500 Mondial is the same vehicle from 1954.
