It got quite warm today. Into the 50s. But there's a big snowstorm coming on Tuesday.
Now that the Nevada caucuses have come and gone, we are finally free from Tom Steyer's ads. The MyPillow guy is taking up the slack.
Finally

Anybody check on slouching owl?
Even crazier.

Bernie writes off Florida:
“We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but it’s unfair to say everything’s bad. When Castro came into office you know what he did? He had a literacy program.” - Bernie Sanders
"The cost of one year of public college tuition, room, board and fees cost $1,600 in 1973.
Today it's $22,000 even though wages have hardly budged.”
In 1973 IIRC, I think I was making something like $1.50 /hr
You know what would lower the cost of college tuition? Less regulations, each one of which requires administrators to ensure compliance.
Well andrew gillum is his sort (but you say hes under federal imvestigation, sarcaam)
I know old news

@Althouse, did you ever go back to that tree to see whether that poor little owl was still there? If it was dead or dying the body should still be there or on the ground under the tree (or at least a bunch of owl feathers).
@narcisco, you were doing so well with the ‘h’ HTML tag.
Steyer seems to be doing well in South Carolina.
I have to say that he, together with Bloomberg, reflect rather poorly on the Democrat electorate, that they can be bought so cheaply. All it takes is money for commercials and a large proportion of the Democrat voters are eager to follow like brainless sheep.
On my deathbed I will not be lamenting about the Unesco World Heritage Sites that I didn't get to visit. Question for my fellow Althouse commenters: should i disclose this truth to mrs. stevew's world traveling mom?
I wonder if it would be to Sanders' benefit to come up just a percent or two short of winning in South Carolina. That would kill Bloomberg by inducing Biden to continue through March.
$1.50/hr in 1973 sounds right to me Aunty, I was bussing at Friendly's at that time.
The most interesting thing about Nevada was that Sanders increased his advantage in realignment- this means he was the preferred second choice of Warren, Klobuchar, and Steyer supporters- at least he was preferred to both Biden and Buttuvwxyz. It appears that the majority of Warren and Klobuchar's supporters' second choice was Klobuchar and Warren. I predict that when Warren and Klobuchar drop out, Sanders will get most of the supporters of both women- Bloomberg will get almost none, Buttuvwxyz some, and Biden the rest.
In other words, the realignment suggests that Sanders' ceiling isn't as low as I thought it would be- he is the second choice of the supporters of the other candidates more than I expected he would be.
From my HS McDonalds career, in 1973 the minimum wage was $1.65.
@Mark, not just the electorate. The candidates who aren't billionaires suck pretty badly too. Do you realize that the most normal of them eats salad with her comb?

I'm hoping that in the future, Senator Sanders will take time to speak to some of my constituents before he decides to sing the praises of a murderous tyrant like Fidel Castro. https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1231733462157099013

curiously, on the chan boards, it was predicted that Italy would be the place for the european outbreak.
Neighbor was concerned teenager might be smoking weed. Following my advice, she bought a drug test kit off Amazon, and downloaded advice from druggie site on how to pass a drug test. Printed advice, but left it in printer, while "accidentally" leaving drug test kit on kitchen counter.
She says teen has been drinking a couple of gallons of water a day lately.
I expect the owl had flown off when someone looked out there today; the stricken look was probably an effect of the photography.

Tee hee
We checked the owl tree today. Our owl was not there.
more of this claptrap
So this husband and wife country music team are as good as that teenager Broadway singer was bad.
They were the only three I saw.
What is it? About $90,000 per person? Seems kinda high for health insurance.
Bloomberg, Gates, Buffet, Bezos combined worth less than 400 billion. Seems like a realistic plan.

"Anderson Cooper: How much will that cost?
Bernie Sanders: Obviously, those are expensive propositions, but we have done our best on issue after issue– in paying for them.
Anderson Cooper: Do you know how all– how much though? I mean, do you have a price tag for– for all of this?
Bernie Sanders: We do. I mean, you know, and– and– the price tag is– it will be substantially less than letting the current system go. I think it’s about $30 trillion.
Anderson Cooper: That’s just for Medicare for All, you’re talking about?
Bernie Sanders: That’s just Medicare for All, yes.

Since 1979 Gallup has asked people, "In general, how satisfied are you with the way things are going in your personal life at this time?" This year, 90% of people answered "satisfied," the highest ever in the poll's history. Makes it a peculiar time for a political revolution.
Americans are being screwed!

Not good news for leftists. People move left when they feel anxious and frightened. See: 1932 and 2008.
Of course, that's assuming the economy doesn't go south...
I find it hard to believe everyone in the nation isn't biting their nails to the quick and shaking uncontrollably as they ponder the reality of ORANGE MAN BAD! in the WH. Why, we're practically a dictatorship and yet people are strolling around feeling happy.
How dare they!
Politics are very simple. The Indian sub-continent loves Trump because he loves them. The freedom loving Americans love Trump because he loves them. No wonder the ruling world masters of corruption by deception all hate Democracy, unless they can payoff people needed to rig the vote counting.

On the news this morning they had a bit about how Thomas Jefferson invited foreign election interference from France and then they explained that Thomas Jefferson was a “Republican.”
I was watching it in the home of a Democrat who was lapping up every word.

That applies more the Hillary, demanding donations to her “foundation” before she would meet with people as SoS, just like Tallyrand, or maybe Biden demanding special personal favors of Ukraine before they could get aid voted by Congress.

The Internet is full of suggestions that the "banksters" might deliberately crash the economy in the fall to deny the election to Trump. I find that to be unlikely, because (1) it would leave them to the tender mercies of Crazy Bernie for four years, and (2) I imagine that Donald Trump has quietly informed them via Steve Mnuchin that for any bank to be bailed out its upper management will be expected to tender their resignations en masse and turn over their stock options.

Shelby Pierson, officially the Chairperson of the Intelligence Community Election Executive and Leadership Board, was obviously forced to drag her butt in front of the media to announce that she had overstated Russian involvement in our 2020 election. This politically-appointed exec (conveniently demoted to "presenter") said she misspoke after Donald Trump fired her boss, Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire. The acting director was run out of town by Prez Bozo who was decidedly embarrassed by public exposure of real election interference - 2016 all-over-again..
... "after Donald Trump fired her boss, Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire. "
His term was expiring.
And shes not a sigint specialist, shes a ngspa (a map reader), does anybody know anything over there.
When is christopher steele charged for providing deliberate lies as the basis for a national intelligence estimate and fisa warrant.

Correct, Russia is helping Bernie, is not helping Trump. She claimed both were being helped.
Simply another liar. Not the first and will not be the last..
Bernie would like to help russia, thats what the fracking ban, would do in part.

Part of the problem with racial statistics in America is the confounding influence of "Hispanic," which is not really a racial category. If you look at non-Hispanic whites, the number is in the low 60% range. And, of course, there is a lot of variance by state. In California, for example, the number of non-Hispanic whites is around 35%.
Most people that identify as Hispanic today are typically some mixture of European, Indigenous American, and sub-Saharan African. Using traditional phenotypic indicators (e.g. skin tone, hair texture, face shape), you can often guesstimate with some reasonable accuracy. So, for example, even though Marco Rubio and Sammy Sosa are both classified as Hispanic, it is a reasonable bet to assume that Sosa has a greater degree of sub-Saharan African ancestry than Rubio.
When abroad , Trump hosts usually try make him feel at home with his favorite meal: {burnt] steak with miniature bottles of ketchup on the side. But what's a beef-lover to do in India?
The President, whose diet is often a rotation of steaks, burgers and meatloaf, faces a potential shock as he prepares to travel to three Indian cities this week. Cattle, sacred to the Hindus, are never eaten.
So plans call for feeding him vegetables.
A person close to the President who has dined with him on several occasions said Trump has salad with a meal every now and then -- but other than that, "I have never seen him eat a vegetable."
— We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but it’s unfair to say everything’s bad. When Castro came into office you know what he did? He had a literacy program.” - Bernie Sanders-
Where ever there is a jackboot stomping on a human face, there will be a well-heeled western liberal to explain that the face does, after all. have free healthcare and 100% literacy. John Derbyshire I think.
Do you know what I was castrated? I read this back in the 70s or the 80s. Because it was so different from my schooling. They were all taught to put together an AK-47 blindfolded because we were going to invade you know. If Cuba has 100% literacy, then why are they poor?
Since Bernie Cares so much about literacy, why hasn’t he been able to do anything with the state of Vermont? Where does that little probably more homogeneous state than Illinois stand in the rankings?
Who is one of the biggest supporters of BernieBro? The teachers unions? Then why haven’t the teachers been doing their jobs? It’s not because of the evil Republicans.

Denmark has a 150% tax on purchasing cars.
But what they did a few years ago was allow leasing. Mercedes Beamers Audis some South Korean a few American. I flew back from Copenhagen yesterday. Our driver told us this. He also said since Denmark doesn’t really like cars they’re going to be re-instituting or they’re going to be changing that Lease law.
One of our tour guide also said the Danes are very against showing their wealth. No name brands. No status. It’s frowned upon. Just good quality Danish clothing etc. etc. So we asked her what about all the status cars. She’s young she sees things differently.
They have “high unemployment”. They are also building hotels like crazy. For the cruise ships. Wish right now are more filled with Americans than Chinese. They also have electric scooters and electric bikes. As my husband pointed out I wonder where all those batteries are going to go when they pass their shelf life.
Go to Oslo is you want to go green. All the public transportation you want, including battery-operated scooters. No nasty fossil fuels for them. But very happy to sell it to the rest of the world.
I’ll say it again. Bernie says he’s going to create 20 million new jobs. He’s going to need to. We’re going to lose more than 20 million new jobs. Crash the world. Stupid failed programs. Capitalism has had a good run for 400 years. It’s proven. Half of the world is now middle class for them. What has communism gotten us in the last 100 years? 100 million dead and counting. The ChiComs are at it again.
Here is a thought experiment:
What schemes are being hatched at DNC and Bloomberg HQ to get Bernie to drop out (health reasons always works--he's 78, he had some sort of heart incident, he says--he won't release his medical records--and no one looks good snooping)?
Should he go before or after the convention? Assuming that the DNC could pick the candidates, I say after--he wins the nomination and then falls on the field of battle with a heart-rending appeal to the Bernie Bros. to stay the course with the Bloomberg-Stacy Abrams ticket.
How much will Bloomberg have to pay to get Bernie to drop out? I say Bernie should hold out for $50 million after tax. I assume that Bloomberg can get him that much--Bloomberg's a publisher, for heaven's sake, and he needs advice, products, and editorial help. Have you seen what MLB pays for a great glove, no stick shortstop who can turn a double play?
Will the DNC use threats? No opinion.
Is there an ultimate solution? No opinion.
Will the FSB take an interest in Bernie's health, just to stir things up? Maybe.
How about the Mossad? How about the Quds Force? How about Antifa? How about the Little Sisters of the Poor?
Folks, we have a Vince Flynn thriller here.
J Farmer--".. .it is a reasonable bet to assume that Sosa has a greater degree of sub-Saharan African ancestry than Rubio."
Also, Sosa has a bigger strike zone than Rubio, since he'll swing at anything from the tops of his shoes to over his head. You don't have to be careful pitching to him. Just pray that he doesn't get a hold of one.

Ah, the mind of a liberal.
Stay on top of it. Let us know if Trump's diet goes from "bad" to something more sinister.
"His term was expiring.”
What difference to facts make to gadfly or Andrew Sullivan or any of that mob. If they say he fired him, then that’s their story and they are s ticking to it.

Now I see where Gadfly gets his news.
CNN is pushing the "Trump is going to starve in India" narrative.
"When Castro came into office you know what he did? He had a literacy program.” - Bernie Sanders-
That literacy program was a one question exam. After the execution of Castro's political prisoners, the question on the exam was: "Did you learn anything today".
Norway also seems to have the urban/rural divide.
Those city people just can’t seem to help themselves.

It is so regional. Here in PHX, it is mostly Mexican, which means a mixture of white and indigenous. Some have dark skin, but not that many here. More in other parts of the SW. Mostly their skin is fairly light just a touch of well blended coffee in the very white cream, and inevitably dark brown eyes. Sometimes, you first think just European. But then you notice that ouch of coffee. Their skin color is much better blended than you usually see here in this country of black and white, suggesting a much longer and more thorough blending. Their faces tend to be fairly round, looking like no indigenous tribes from the US - far from the Cherokee and eastern Indians with their sharper features, and different from the almost Mongolian look of the Navajo and related tribes we see most here. What is interesting though is that in the middle of an extended family you will occasionally see an older member who has much darker skin and less attractive features, which suggests being much closer to their indigenous roots. Likely not just coincidentally, the high school students nearby are the Aztecs. Forget that most times as I drive by it, but noticed Aztec shirts for sale at Walmart yesterday. Supposedly, a large number of the males have Spanish Y chromosomes, and most have East Asian mitochondria, suggesting a lot of Spanish paternity mixed with Indian maternity. Overall, with my European sentiments, a fairly attractive people, except that in this part of town, they tend to be a bit pudgy (but without quite the level of obesity that we see here with esp Blacks).
The funny thing is that it is often fairly easy to detect the difference between the Mexicans who are recent immigrants from the ones I grew up with, and esp in the band running from Santa Fe up through Alamosa in CO. A lot of them look more Spanish, but they also have more prominent Indian features. My guess some of the difference is that the Mexicans here had been intermixing for much of the last 500 years in a decent sized population, whereas their relatives who immigrated here much earlier had not mixed nearly as well - one or two centuries, versus almost five centuries.
I got off on this sidetrack because yesterday I was playing a game with myself, as I often do, seeing how long it takes to identify the very predominant Mexican characteristics of the people I see walking by. The difference is sometimes very subtle. And, rarely here, that difference is missing, and only know that they are Hispanic because of their family grouping one interesting aspect is that you do see a surprising amount of black/Mexican pairings, but it is all very recent., because the mixture hasn’t matured, so still looks mixed.
Back to Farmer’s point - the Hispanics here look nothing like the Cubans and Puerto Rican’s you see back East. They all mostly look more white than anything else. Indeed, they all look more white than sharing any specific Hispanic characteristic.
Via Insty: CLEVELAND, Ohio – High school students won’t have to be “proficient” in either math or English to graduate, under minimum required test scores proposed by State Superintendent Paolo DeMaria.
They will just need to know enough to do the most basic of jobs.
New high school graduation requirements passed this summer require most students to show “competency” in math and English through scores on Ohio’s Algebra I and English II tests to qualify for a diploma. The new requirements start with the class 2023, this year’s high school freshmen.
There’s your literacy.
