JRoberts said...: Biden is coming down to Atlanta, again. This time to speak to the graduates at Morehouse.

The Dems are concerned about the African American vote this year, but are confident they’ll come “home” before November - as if they get to define “home”.

Each time I hear it, what I really hear is: “Harriet Tubman may have gotten you across the Ohio River, boy, but now it’s time for you to come ‘home’.; 5/17/24, 8:58 PM

Lem the artificially intelligent said...: The judge instructions to the jury regarding Cohen’s testimony is going to make or break the Trump case.

According to experts, the judge should instruct the jury thusly: if they find some testimony to be doubtful the can disregard that witness testimony in its entirety.

There’s light at the end of the tunnel for Trump.; 5/18/24, 2:11 AM

Humperdink said...: Read an article from the lefty news site Yahoo News. It revealed that if there is a Whole Foods market in your area, that area probably votes blue. If it has a Cracker Barrel it probably votes red. I suspect that is true. You are what you eat.

Speaking of food, because the beef herd nationwide is way down, dairy farmers are switching to beef. Which will cause milk/ dairy products to go sky high.

I bought an Angus heifer four years ago. She has produced three calves since then, one every year in the late spring like clockwork.; 5/18/24, 5:06 AM

Humperdink said...: Headline: "Schmaybe 50 Tunnels Crossing Into Their Country Why Egypt So Riled About Rafah?"

Wait a second, 50 tunnels from Rafah into Egypt? Or more precisely Egypt into Rafah. No wonder the IDF is being "counseled" into stopping their advance into Rafah. Gee what could they possibly find? Maybe Egyptian complicity?

wildswan said...: Little Known Fact.
The Israeli government confiscated all the guns in private hands just a few weeks before the October 7 attack by Hamas.

That's one reason why the Israelis feel so betrayed by the government - the government told them they didn't need guns to defend themselves because a centralized high-tech defence was in place. And the Israelis mostly accepted this. What could go wrong? What did. Hamas had only to learn the One Great Defence Plan and think of how to defeat that. After that, it didn't have to take on a second layer of defence - scattered individuals with weapons defending themselves. Instead, Hamas itself was scattered individuals with weapons slaughtering and brutalizing scattered individuals with no weapons.
Take away individual weapons and substitute a single centralized plan, the One Big High Tech Defence, and what do you give the enemy? One Ring to rule them all.; 5/18/24, 5:48 AM
imTay said...: Everybody talks about taxing the rich, but it's almost impossible, since they own the government, a billionaire has a full time staff making sure that he pays the lowest possible tax, and paid for friends inside the government working with his tax accountants as they write legislation and regulations. But taxing the poor? That's child's play. Just cause inflation. Those who own assets benefit from inflation, those who don't are punished cruelly. This is why Biden's "tax the rich" rhetoric doesn't play with people paying twice as much for gasoline, for example, as they did four years ago, and a lot more for everything else too, BTW.; 5/18/24, 6:34 AM
tim maguire said...: Lem the artificially intelligent said...The judge instructions to the jury regarding Cohen’s testimony is going to make or break the Trump case.

I would have thought their failure to even try to prove a crime was their big problem. It’s been nothing but trial by character assassination so far.; 5/18/24, 6:48 AM
Jamie said...: I know there are some here who also visit neo's blog. I've been traveling and only hitting this one in my limited Internet time, but yesterday and today I went over there and the site wouldn't load. At first I thought it was my coverage, but this site is working fine. Does anyone happen to know what's going on over there?

Apologies to Althouse for using her cafe to ask about another blogger.; 5/18/24, 7:13 AM

Saint Croix said...: The funniest thing about the Cohen phone call was the 14-year-old stalker.

That would be a great screenplay!

The president has an evil fixer who threatens everybody. But now the hatchet man has got a 14-year-old stalker and he doesn't know what to do.

It's House of Cards meets Home Alone.

FullMoon said...: Masculine Rich said:
My wife once asked me when did I feel happiest? Upon consideration, I responded when I wept. An admittedly strange answer, I explained that it was not grief, but the overwhelming surfeit of emotion that I experienced with certain triggers of emotional, perhaps sentimental, love. It was when I felt much alive.

One time while I was at work, my wife phoned me as she was at home watching An Affair to Remember (a film we had often viewed together).. She put the phone next to the TV as the scene played of Cary Grant discovering the painting of Deborah Kerr. She knew precisely how I would respond…and I did.

How hilarious is that?

Calling someone you do not know a "soy boy" (lacking masculine characteristics) is never hilarious, Drago. Please stop your disgusting pejorative attacks. And in case you are confused, "democratical" means "relating to the principles of democracy" and "woke" is definitely the past tense of the verb, "wake" and past participle of the noun "wake."; 5/18/24, 3:34 PM
