  1. Who will win Iowa's support in 2020? That depends on who's really listening to us. [Click] “Joe Biden and 20 other Democrats are crawling over the state. But folks here would like to know: who’s in it for us?”

  2. Axios: The party establishments continue to lose power [Click]

    The Peculiar Blindness of Experts: Credentialed authorities are comically bad at predicting the future. But reliable forecasting is possible. [Click] The best predictors proved to be “…bright people with extremely wide-ranging interests and unusually expansive reading habits, but no particular relevant background…” Gee—sounds like several people I know!

    1. I put this here because it seems strongly related to "The Peculiar Blindness of Experts"

      Joe Biden’s “Electability” Argument Is How Democrats Lose Elections [Click] “Since Vietnam, every time a Democrat has won the presidency, it’s because Democrats voted with their hearts in a primary and closed ranks around the candidate who inspired them…”

    2. Joe Biden is AWFUL! I think that nostalgia for the Obama years is driving people, but he IS NOT OBAMA. Also, he is in complete agreement with Bolton and Pompeo over war in - I forgot, either Venezuela or Yemen. That tells you all you need to know. A "Democrat" aligning himself with bat shit crazy Republican warhawks? No, thank you very much.

    3. I expect that the more people learn about Biden, the farther down he will go in the polls. He doesn't just have baggage, he has an entire baggage train.

  4. Pelosi warns about impeachment [Click]
    “One of the articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon was based on ignoring subpoenas from Congress, the speaker said Tuesday during an event at Cornell University.”

    It amazes me that no prominent Democrat seems to have brought up two classic high crimes and misdemeanors: perjury of oath and maladministration.

    1. Could Pelosi just stop talking about it and DO IT! She has five children. Does she not remember that bad behavior you ignore will continue? Get on with it, woman!

    2. Amen to "perjury of oath and maladministration"!!

      And YES, I feel the same way, Susan. Wil keeps saying that the House calling for Impeachment won't DO anything, because the Senate won't carry it through. Sigh. But I still want SOMETHING to happen to show the world we see him for what he is. What I really want is him removed from office.

    1. There have been a number of shaken baby prosecutions (including convictions) in which the child had numerous broken bones because of rickets, which has increased in the US in recent years.

  6. Tonight we made a reservation to stay at the Kennebunk Inn in the near future. Then I read this article which says that the ghost of the Kennebunk Inn favours Room 17. Guess which room we're staying in. LOL! Hmmm, can't be any worse than encountering a bat in the middle of the night at Daughter's house years ago, when we were renovating there, can it? Could be an adventure. 😄
