At the Start of the year I made a post about the US Senate elections this year. However a lot has changed since then (not just that) So I thought I'd make a new version.

How successful a President Kamala Harris is able to be will come down to who controls congress. A Republican House or Senate could frustrate many of the important agenda items Harris wants to get done. Also the Senate is key to appointing Judges, right now many America's rights are being decided in the courts where Trump and Republican appointed Judges are consistently ruling against trans rights, voting rights, abortion rights etc. Any hope of a smooth pipe line of Harris judges depends on the Senate. Senate Control hangs by a knife's edge, there are 6 soft blue seats we have to hold onto, two swing seats Dems are defending, and two soft red seats we can pick up, you can make all the difference!

Arizona

Ruben Gallego (Hold)

Winning Arizona will be key to the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election. Congressman Ruben Gallego was a leader in the effort to replace Democrat turned Independent Senator Sinema with a real Democrat. Gallego was raised by a single mother, went to Harvard, and is a Marine combat vet. First elected to the Arizona State House in 2010 he advocated for immigrant rights. He was elected to Congress in 2014. Since coming to Congress Gallego has been a progressive voice, gaining attention for blunt attacks on the Trump administration. Republicans nominated around former TV host and conspiracy theorist Kari Lake. Lake rose to become a Republican star by supporting conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and Covid. Lake ran for Arizona Governor in 2022 and after losing to Democrat Katie Hobbs she refused to concede and still maintains she won and is the rightful Governor of Arizona. Lake has called Democrats "Demonic", totally opposes abortion in all cases, and is the self proclaimed "Trump candidate". If Gallego is elected not only will he be a reliable Democratic vote and Progressive vote in the Senate, he'd be the first Hispanic to represent Arizona in the Senate, ever. If you live in Arizona please make sure you vote, but more if you have any time between now and November, volunteer to help Gallego! and if you don't live there you can still give.

Florida

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (Flip)

Florida's current Republican senator, Rick Scott, has spent his first term in Congress being one of the most extreme Republicans. Scott has pushed to defund education, roll back Social Security and Medicare, attacked trans rights, and wants to ban Abortion in all cases. Rick Scott is the wealthiest member of Congress and also was in involved in the largest case of Medicare fraud in US history. Scott challenged Mitch McConnell for the leadership of the Senate GOP getting support from extremists like Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and JD Vance, and now is running to replace McConnell. Scott won in 2018 with less than 10,000 votes. The Democrat is former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. When she was elected to Congress in 2018 she became the first South American born immigrant and first person of Ecuadorian heritage to be elected to Congress. In Congress Mucarsel-Powell was a member of the Progressive caucus, she fought to expand medicare, and secured $200 million for Everglades restoration.

Maryland

Angela Alsobrooks (Hold)

Maryland is normally an easy Democratic win but two-term Republican former Governor Larry Hogan announced he was running, turning what should be an easy race for Democrats into a real fight. Hogan is trying to sell himself as a Trump septic moderate, but he's endorsed by Trump, JD Vance, and Mitch McConnell. Hogan spent his final year as Governor frustrating Democratic efforts to protect abortion, legalize marijuana, and take serious action on climate change. In the Senate he'll be a vote in the pocket of Republican leadership. The Democrat is Angela Alsobrooks, the executive of Prince George's County. As County Executive Alsobrooks got high marks for her response to Covid. She's worked to expand pre-K to all students in the county, as well expanding health care access including mental health access. As a candidate for Senate Alsobrooks has been a strong supporter of Abortion rights, pushing for more action on gun violence, and has been a strong supporter of LGBT rights her whole political life. After Vice-President Harris left the Senate there were no black women represented in the upper house. Together with Delaware's Lisa Blunt Rochester Alsobrooks could make history, if both are elected this year it'll be the first time ever that two black women have served at the same time in the US Senate. If you're in Maryland make sure to get out to vote, to volunteer as much as you're able, and everyone give whatever you can to protect abortion rights and support progressive black women!

Montana

Jon Tester (Re-elect)

Normally deep red Montana represents one of the hardest Senate seats for Democrats to hang onto. Jon Tester is the only Democrat to hold statewide office or represent Montana in Congress. Elected narrowly in 2006 Tester has beaten the odds time and time again and is trying again. In his time in the Senate Tester has been a consistent voice for small farmers and local businesses against big corporations and mega companies. Tester has fought against corruption and for openness, and is one of the most effective members of Congress consistently having the most bills past into law of any member of Congress. Republicans have embraced an ultra wealthy former CEO, Tim Sheehy as their nominee to unseat Tester. Sheehy was caught lying about being shot in Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL, when he in fact accidentally shot himself at Glacier National Park in Montana. Past his embarrassing war wound story, Sheehy is an ultra rich CEO who has spent 2 million of his own money on the race so far. Sheehy has been endorsed by Trump, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Sheehy wants to ban all abortion, repeal Obamacare, and remove any limits on gun ownership, despite having shot himself. If you can only donate to two races, this and Ohio are the most important, if you can only donate to one? flip a coin.

Sherrod Brown (Re-elect)

Ohio is one of the hardest senate seats for Democrats to defend this year. Senator Sherrod Brown has been the only statewide elected Democrat in Ohio since 2011. First elected to Congress in 1992 and to the Senate in 2006 Brown has defied the odds by being a popular Progressive in an ever more Red state. Brown consistently ranks along side Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren as one of the most left wing Senators. From his first days in Congress Brown refused the Congressional health plan, repeatedly introducing single payer health care bills going back to the 1990s. Brown has been a proud and consistent ally of Unions, particularly the UAW, and tough on banks and big business. Republicans have nominated used car salesman and crypto enthusiast Bernie Moreno. Moreno is a weirdo, he accused LGBT activists of a "radical agenda of indoctrination" and then got caught looking for "men for 1-on-1 sex" on AdultFriendFinder.

Cruz is one of the most right wing members of the Senate and a loud Trump supporter. Last election in 2018 Cruz barely hung onto his seat and Democrats are hoping with 6 more years of radicalism Texans are ready for change. Democrats have nominated Congressman Colin Allred.

In Congress Allred fought for gun reform, to keep down the price of proscription drugs, and invest in American infrastructure. In his run for Senate he's standing up for the right to choose against one of the most radically anti-abortion Republicans in the country.

steve (confused aneurysm face): we had a warrant.

Danny:

This wasn't a reply to me specifically, it was just a reply I found on the post I'd made about the Great Pyramid and one that I sat there for a full minute looking at before I laughed. I hadn't even mentioned the cartouche in the Pyramid as being evidence for Khufu having built it because honestly there's so much other evidence from the Egyptians themselves repeatedly saying 'Khufu built it' that I didn't think this was in dispute. But let's unpack this shall we?

I'd never heard of 'the cartouche in Khufu's pyramid is a forgery' conspiracy theory before. That's a new one for me! So I did a little digging on that and found a bunch of Daily Express/Daily Mail articles, as well as a bunch of personal websites for mystics and Quora answers. High quality stuff there /s. C'mon people, do we really have to keep going over this sort of thing?

Funniest one I found contained gems such as:

a) You're thinking of New Kingdom tombs babes. This is the Old Kingdom where it's a lot less likely. b) 'academics tend to agree with each other just out of habit' is the funniest fucking sentence I'll read today.

Two. There are two. One Greek (Cheops), one the original Egyptian (Khufu). It's not hard.

Anyway, that same site, as well as numerous others claim the name is spelt wrong and also that Tallet's papyri (the Diary of Merer) is a fake. All these places cite the same guy. So I looked into that because why not?

Anyway, it turns out that some guy called Zecharia Sitchin claimed that the writing of the cartouche in Khufu's pyramid was not only spelled wrong but made with paint that didn't exist at the time of Khufu's reign. Multiple sources claim he was an Egyptologist, which is so far from the truth it's painful. He had a degree in Economics. You can look this stuff up. It's really easy! He was a subscriber of Eric von Daniken's beliefs - y'know...the ones about how there was a master race of Aliens that built the Egyptian monuments. Immediately, this should start ringing alarm bells. The 'see also' section at the bottom of his wikipedia page is like a bingo of dickheads:

He died in 2010, yet I keep seeing 'new discoveries' made by this man dated from 2013 all the way up to 2019...as if he somehow hopped out of the grave to spew more racist bullshit and hop back in again.

I mean look at this. He's been dead 9 racist racist years at this point, but somehow he's got new theories!!!

(also for the US audience, the Daily Express is like the Daily Mail, which is like Fox News. Just as racist as the other two, but with added Princess Diana conspiracies)

So is the cartouche spelt wrong? Stitchin claimed that the ḫ or 𓐍 symbol in the name Khufu (I'm sorry it's so small, unicode is a crock of shit when it comes to correct hieroglyph sizing) is a forgery written by the Egyptologist who discovered it in 1837 and is actually r' or 𓇳 so his name should be Refu and an entirely different person.

Here's what that cartouche looks like:

I do so love people who can't read hieroglyphs just turning up and being like 'oh yeah nah the Egyptologists are wrong' and 'the guy who discovered this graffiti only 15 years after hieroglyphs were deciphered totally had the ability to a) fake hieratic script and b) also fake the title 'companions of Khufu' despite those words not having been discovered yet', but I digress. Anyway, racism does something to your brain because that's a ḫ or 𓐍 and is consistent with the way Khufu's name is spelt literally everywhere else.

I can't even begin to unpack the theory that Richard Howard-Vyse, the man that blew a hole in the side of the Pyramid to get into it, the man who could barely read hieroglyphs let alone hieratic, would be completely of the mind to fake several cartouches for what gain exactly? The man was a former MP who went off on his 'jollies of Empire' to Egypt, couldn't read hieroglyphs beyond basic signs, but conspiracy theorists want me to believe he could construct whole phrases using the correct terms for the Old Kingdom??? (yeah, surprise, terms for things changed over the course of Egyptian history so I really really want some conspiracy theorist to tell me how Vyse knew the specific Old Kingdom term for 'companion' when we hadn't discovered that yet).

There are numerous other cartouches, not just that one, found in difficult to reach places that no one in their right mind is going to sit there and think 'yeah no I'll graffiti this just so everyone believes it's Khufu and not aliens'. These notations are builders marks on internal stones that make up the core of the pyramid. But no of course all of these are somehow faked:

As for the $1m costing of the expedition? I can't find anything on this except conspiracies within conspiracies. Also Vyse was British.

The paint analysis of it being 'new' paint was done by two amateurs and has been widely refuted. They never really explained how it was 'new' only that it was and therefore they were correct, which is wild. Also I'm wondering what illegal methods of collection they used to obtain these paint samples considering that part of the pyramid isn't open to the public.

So, moving on to Pierre Tallet's discovery of P.Jarf A&B, I found this when I was looking for Khufu's cartouche stuff:

Aside from the fact that the Sphinx stele was put there by Thutmosis IV and not Khufu, William you fucking dunce, and that Khunum is Khufu's 'Nomen' or personal name i.e ẖnmw ḫwj=f w(j) 'Khnum protects me' (Egyptian kings had five different names called titularies, you can look this up very easily, but I've made this whole sentence a link so you can clicky clicky or tappy tappy) which was his birth name (Khufu was the throne name), did you read the Diary of Merer, William? Did you??

You can read Tallet's work here. Clicky clicky/tappy tappy.

Before we start, numerous sites claimed this papyrus is a fake, so here's an image of it and I'm gonna ask you if you put that much effort into faking a diary of a guy who's job it was to inspect limestone quarries?

Yeah, no. Ain't no one going to that much effort for lacunae (holes in text).

Anyway, no the papyrus does not in fact directly record the construction of the pyramid. No one ever said it did. The Diary of Merer (Papyrus Jarf A & B) is the logbook of Merer who was the Inspector of Works during the reign of Khufu and his journeys up and down the canal ways constructed to carry the limestone from Tura to Giza. He travels with this limestone to see it dropped off. He doesn't say 'this is the limestone used to build khufu's pyramid'. Not once does anyone say 'pyramid' or 'this is how we built it'.

This is the fun thing about History. People rarely say things directly, or write things down picture perfectly so there can be absolutely no doubt. We have to use evidence to infer certain things that aren't being directly told to us. You look at what you do have and say 'well if X is said to be happening, and we have evidence for it, and the evidence says Y is over in Z where something else is happening, we have to infer that Y was part of an event that was connected to X, just in a different location.'

So, let's take the words of Merer in his logbook. He doesn't say he's constructing a pyramid of Khufu directly. He says it's year 27 and is mostly concerned about the quality of limestone and that it's being shipped to the correct places. So he visits Tura, Ro-She-Khufu, and Akhet Khufu. We know that Tura is where they're quarrying stone, Ro-She-Khufu is the 'entrance to the pool of Khufu' (a harbor near the Giza plateau), and Akhet-Khufu 'Horizon of Khufu' is the Egyptian name given to Khufu's pyramid. So these are all sites associated with a Pyramid or Pyramid building. We can thus infer that Merer is inspecting blocks for a building project at the site of Khufu's pyramid.

He also tells us that when he stops for the night at Ro-She-Khufu, he does so at the house of the Vizier Ankhhaf. Now Ankhhaf is pretty famous. His bust is in MFA Boston and he has a lovely mastaba tomb at Giza. Why? Because he's Khufu's half brother and overseer of the construction of Khufu's pyramid. That tells us with certainty that this papyrus is dated to a time period where Ankhhaf, brother of Khufu, was alive.

So that's all compelling evidence, but William argues that they might have only been taking blocks to the area of Khufu's pyramid but the blocks weren't for Khufu's pyramid because it's 'already there'. Let's unpack that! Before Khufu, the Giza plateau had no Pyramids. All previous pyramids were built at Saqqara, Dashur, and Meidum. Khufu's father Sneferu built his pyramids (plural) at Dashur and Meidum (Red and Bent pyramids), so not at Giza. But what about after Khufu I hear you ask? Djedefre, Khufu's son and successor, built his pyramid at Abu Rawash 8km north of Giza. He also only reigned for about 14 years. This is important information, hold onto it. Maybe it was Khafre (Khufu's other son) who *did* build at Giza? Possible. So let's look at the data:

Khufu's pyramid was the first construction at Giza. He chose it because there was nothing else there, meaning that blocks could not be for any project before Khufu's pyramid.

Merer met Ankhhaf, Khufu's half brother who was responsible for overseeing the construction of his pyramid in Year 27.

Ankhhaf lived into the reign of Djedefre who did build a pyramid but not at Giza and only reigned 14 years.

Khafre built at Giza, and as William implies, stone blocks were arriving 'at' Akhet Khufu, and apparently not 'for' Akhet Khufu. So that must be what Merer is referring to right?

Nope. Ankhhaf died during the reign of Djedefre.

So for William's assumption to be correct and Merer was only in a small boat taking limestone blocks to a construction project other than Khufu's pyramid, several things have to be true: Djedefre had to have built at Giza (he didn't), Djedefre had to have reigned 27 years (he reigned 14), if Merer was working not on Djedefre but Khafre's pyramid then Ankhhaf had to still be alive during Khafre's reign (nope, he died during Djedefre's reign).

Can you see that while Merer didn't not explicitly say 'We're building Khufu's Pyramid' the contextual evidence and inference make it literally impossible for him to have been doing anything else? Khufu's was the only pyramid being built there when his brother Ankhhaf was alive. The papyrus is dated to year 27, and the successor didn't live that long nor did he build a pyramid at Giza. It cannot be Khafre's pyramid, which was built at Giza, because Ankhhaf died before Khafre took the throne. Thus the only logical conclusion we can take from Merer's logbooks is that he was inspecting stone for the construction of Khufu's pyramid, sailing with it to see Khufu's brother, and then dropping it off at Akhet Khufu for which the only reason can be for building Khufu's pyramid. Ergo, while it doesn't explicitly say 'hey we're building a pyramid' it does heavily infer it. There's not another option!

And if we circle back to the original screenshot's point about 'the graffiti being fake' and take that as gospel, then we have to ignore all the other evidence:

Multiple Egyptian sources referring to it as Khufu's pyramid and that Khufu existed as king.

Multiple non-Egyptian sources referring to it as Khufu's pyramid

Tombs and Mastabas in the Giza cemetery talk of being buried next to Khufu's pyramid and having permission to do this (considered a high honour in Ancient Egypt)

Khufu's mother is buried nearby.

Seals bearing the name of 'Akhet Khufu' have been found in the area.

The workman's village for the Pyramids

Stele of Amenhotep II from the New Kingdom, 1200 years after the Pyramids had been constructed, that attributes them to Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure

The solar boat pits around the Great Pyramid, whose stone seals bore the name of Djedefre (whose job it was to perform the rites as son and successor), but whose contents bore the name of Khufu.

Egyptologists (and Archaeologists/Historians) don't look at things in isolation. We look at them in a wider context built on evidence we already have. It is Khufu's pyramid because of an overwhelming amount of evidence that tells us 'this is Khufu's pyramid' and not just one cartouche. Merer's logbooks show us with clarity where and how the Egyptians were bringing stone to the Giza plateau i.e. through canals, which we have evidence for. Each further piece of evidence cements it in place. That's how we come to conclusions.

But sure, one racist who can't even read hieroglyphs nor define them within their proper context because he's so certain ancient aliens rather than Egyptians built the pyramids is totally right. There's obviously no other evidence and we can dismiss Egyptologists and what they say very easily because they just want to hide all that information from you despite it being readily available.
