    1. "Apart from recent gains in New Hampshire, Sanders' support is still best characterized by its steadiness and strength compared to other candidates who have seen more volatility. Nearly half (47%) of his New Hampshire voters say they've definitely made up their minds. By comparison, just 15% of Biden's backers in the state describe their choice that way."

      Well, you know how it is with us Millenials. Must be all that avocado toast...

  4. Trump Threatens To Destroy Iranโ€™s Culturally Significant Sites. Thatโ€™s A War Crime. [Click]

    Iran Will Respond Against U.S. Military Sites [Click]

    Iraqi Lawmakers Vote to Oust U.S. Troops [Click] That seems perfectly reasonable to me, and it carries out the response against US military sites without directly involving Iran. The article says the vote is by itself symbolic; I donโ€™t yet know why. But it shows which way the political winds are blowing.

    1. Yesterday I saw a photo of an angry Biden right up in some woman's face, shouting at her and shaking his finger right in her face. He was insisting that he supports women. Sure didn't look like it. Hillary was the same. She'd go up like a flash-fire if anyone dared question her. Both Biden and Hillary are awash in entitlement.

  7. 'The best chance we have to elect a real progressive since FDRโ€™: on the phone with Elizabeth Warren [Click] Art Cullen, Editor of the Storm Lake Times

    I think I shall take my constitutional now. It was foggy this morning, but is now clear. The wind is cool--feels like there is snow in the mountains. A story in the newspaper yesterday said that snow and rain so far this rainy season is a little ahead of normal, and the reservoirs are about as full as they should be. They have to leave some room in the reservoirs for further rain and snowmelt come Spring.
