20201014: MAGA Protest Against Stupidity, Des Moines, Iowa

So, POTUS, not even two weeks following a bout with the Wuhan Flu is giving the world his impression of Superman and the Energizer Bunny Combined, and his opponent…well….

Is MIA. Again. With 20 days to go before the election.

Alright, well, tonight, the campaign turns to flyover country and the state up the river known as Iowa. President Trump will be in Des Moines, to be precise. From wiki:

Des Moines takes its name from Fort Des Moines (1843–46), which was named for the Des Moines River. This was adopted from the name given by French colonistsDes Moines (pronounced [de mwan] (listen); formerly [de mwɛn]) translates literally to either “from the monks” or “of the monks”. The historian Virgil Vogel claimed that the name was derived from Moingona, an Algonquian clan name, which means “Loon“.[15]

Some historians and researchers lacking linguistic or Algonquianist training concluded that Moingona meant “people by the portage” or something similar, a reference to the Des Moines Rapids. This was where the earliest known encounters between the Moingona and European explorers took place.[16]

One popular interpretation of “Des Moines” ignores Vogel’s research, and concludes that it refers to a group of French Trappist monks, who in the 17th century lived in huts built on top of what is now known as the ancient Monks Mound at Cahokia, the major center of Mississippian culture, which developed in what is present-day Illinois, east of the Mississippi River and the city of St. Louis. This was some 200 miles (320 km) from the Des Moines River.[17]

Cahokia…I have ancestors who lived there.

Oh, wait, we’re supposed to be in Iowa, not Illinois. Here you go:

Based on archeological evidence, the junction of the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers has attracted humans for at least 7,000 years. Several prehistoric occupation areas have been identified by archeologists in downtown Des Moines. Discovered in December 2010, the “Palace” is an expansive, 7,000-year-old site found during excavations prior to construction of the new wastewater treatment plant in southeastern Des Moines. It contains well-preserved house deposits and numerous graves. More than 6,000 artifacts were found at this site. State of Iowa archaeologist John Doershuk was assisted by University of Iowa archaeologists at this dig.[19]

At least three Late Prehistoric villages, dating from about AD 1300 to 1700, stood in or near what developed later as downtown Des Moines. In addition, 15 to 18 prehistoric American Indian mounds were observed in this area by early settlers. All have been destroyed during development of the city.[20][21]

Origin of Fort Des Moines

Des Moines traces its origins to May 1843, when Captain James Allen supervised the construction of a fort on the site where the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers merge. Allen wanted to use the name Fort Raccoon; however, the U.S. War Department preferred Fort Des Moines. The fort was built to control the Sauk and Meskwaki Indians, whom the government had moved to the area from their traditional lands in eastern Iowa. The fort was abandoned in 1846 after the Sauk and Meskwaki were removed from the state and shifted to the Indian Territory.[22]

Archaeological excavations have shown that many fort-related features survived under what is now Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway and First Street.[22][23] Soldiers stationed at Fort Des Moines opened the first coal mines in the area, mining coal from the riverbank for the fort’s blacksmith.[24]

https://2mv53u1cm6mneu0xp29yafi1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/1905-1.jpg

On September 22, 1851, Des Moines was incorporated as a city; the charter was approved by voters on October 18. In 1857, the name “Fort Des Moines” was shortened to “Des Moines”, and it was designated as the second state capital, previously at Iowa City. Growth was slow during the Civil War period, but the city exploded in size and importance after a railroad link was completed in 1866.[27]

In 1864, the Des Moines Coal Company was organized to begin the first systematic mining in the region. Its first mine, north of town on the river’s west side, was exhausted by 1873. The Black Diamond mine, near the south end of the West Seventh Street Bridge, sank a 150-foot (46 m) mine shaft to reach a 5-foot-thick (1.5 m) coal bed. By 1876, this mine employed 150 men and shipped 20 carloads of coal per day. By 1885, numerous mine shafts were within the city limits, and mining began to spread into the surrounding countryside. By 1893, 23 mines were in the region.[28] By 1908, Des Moines’ coal resources were largely exhausted.[29] In 1912, Des Moines still had eight locals of the United Mine Workers union, representing 1,410 miners.[30] This was about 1.7% of the city’s population in 1910.

By 1880, Des Moines had a population of 22,408, making it Iowa’s largest city. It displaced the three Mississippi River ports: Burlington, Dubuque, and Davenport, that had alternated holding the position since the territorial period. 

More at wiki.

I’ll add live links to this post during the late afternoon as they become available.

Twitter has done it now. President Trump will be doing something about that.

GA/FL

I meant personal or official account.

Seems to be her official WH Press Secretary account. That is like declaring war on President Trump – and it won’t end well – – – for Twitter.

Landed!
Apparently RSBN has Brick Suit as co moderator and they are looking for a shout out from the President as it’s likely he’ll be able to see Brick Suit on the media platform. Something to watch for it happens.

Deplorable Patriot

Wheels down.
That was so cool watching that plane land – and I grew up with airplanes as my dad worked for McDonnell, and we used to go sit at the end of the runway on Friday nights and watch the planes land from time to time at Lambert.

RSBN talkers don’t like doing it, but they have to due to the licensed music being played in the background. Piracy issues, I guess. Youtube would take down the feed.

Business dealings were complete lie

Never a admin more corrupt than Obama-Biden
Biden is a corrupt politician who shouldn’t even be allowed to run for the Presidency!!!

Sylvia Avery

He’s beautifully tying the corrupt media to the scandal because they are refusing to report the biggest scandal in history.

🦋🤸‍♀️🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🤸‍♀️🦋

Should never happen to another President, they should pay for crimes that they committed!!

Deplorable Patriot

Yes, Mr. President, people should pay for the crimes they committed.

Sylvia Avery

Oh boy. The media/twitter never took down the fake Russia hoax stories and they KNEW they were fake, but they took down the Hunter Biden story right away.
Twitter closed down Kayleigh’s account.
And Bruce Ohr is finally out of the DOJ! That’s good. Couple of years too late, that’s all. He should not only be in the DOJ outbox he should be somewhere else………

Deplorable Patriot

🦋🤸‍♀️🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🤸‍♀️🦋

Fox was saying some of Hunter’s videos were pornographic. Rudy said inappropriate to illegal.

In his best day he wasn’t a smart man, everyone knows that.

🦋🤸‍♀️🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🤸‍♀️🦋

I love him, but I’m gonna disagree w/him.
1 – Chyna bought record corn, soybeans, and beef, because they’re STARVING!! ‘Operation Clean Plate’ Seriously? For a 1Billion populated country? Clean your plate?
2 – He is the ONLY President to totally care about Americans soooo much! All others cared some, but care more about their own finances and political careers.
POTUS = GOAT!!!

Deplorable Patriot

I’m not cleaning my plate if there are soybeans on it. Childhood memories.

Sylvia Avery

Soy beans are not fit to eat.

Deplorable Patriot

I know that. My mom’s uncle raised corn, wheat, soybeans and horseradish. Only corn could be eaten straight out of the field, and we did when it was ready.

Sylvia Avery

horseradish…….🤢🤢🤢🤮

Deplorable Patriot

Mmmm…the scent of August, ripening horseradish. There’s nothing like the good stuff.

Sylvia Avery

Deplorable Patriot

Great data from @realDonaldTrump’s rally in Des Moines shows support the pollsters are missing:
10,139 voters identified
48.5% (!) NOT Republican
29.4% (!) Democrat
25.0% did not vote in 2016
13.7% did not vote in the last 4 elections
Thank you, Iowa!

zorrorides

DepplePat. yer running such great threads !! I must have gone to the kitchen when POTUS put on the MAGA hat and took off his tie. Aww man. At least I got to read about it, thanks.
Loved the history lesson and the connection between Des Moines and the Mississippi Cahokia culture. I read a plaque in a state park one day and my mind was blown by the vast connections of America. Imagine, if you will, America made of colonies with populations hugging the Atlantic coast… 1760s. Just going to the first mountain ridge put a man into wilderness and danger. France and England went to war in the original hemisphere and in the new world colonies began warring against each other. Our side called it the French And Indian War. The furthest-away settlement in the new continent just happened to be at the oldest seat of power of the ancient aboriginals – Cahokia.
European civilization along the Atlantic scarcely extended a hundred miles from coast to the west. The lords of the colonies and Paris and London gave directions to reach a thousand miles: one was to fortify and hold Cahokia and thereby the Mississippi and all the land east of the mountains; the other equipped and sent soldiers under arms to attack the settlement of Cahokia.
I don’t know the route they traveled, but it was an endless float, an infinity of steps, brutal work, and a marvel to even arrive at this dot of fellow men, with no other Europeans for a thousand miles.
“Well those are white men so this must be the enemy; let’s go attack with violence and kill and injure, capture them, and end their utility.” Then as a small contingent, a tiny speck inside unknown North America peopled by unfriendly residents, we will walk back to our little city on the Atlantic coast.
Americans, don’t you just love us?
