If the tentative entrance of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg into the Presidential race materializes, he may discover difficulty of being an oligarch in an increasingly socialist-minded party. Bloomberg, whose fortune is estimated at $50 billion, many times Trump’s estimated $3 billion, much less Tom Steyer’s comparatively meager $1.6 billion, epitomizes the very capitalist class so detested by party activists.

Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in America, and the city of Austin and Austin’s transit agency, Capital Metro, have a plan for dealing with all of the traffic that will be generated by that growth: assume that a third of the people who now drive alone to work will switch to transit, bicycling, walking, or telecommuting by 2039. That’s right up there with planning for dinner by assuming that food will magically appear on the table the same way it does in Hogwarts.

Austin is one of the metropolitan behavioral sinks that exist in Texas so that Californians who wander in but still want to live under socialism will have some place to go. As Kevin Williamson likes to say, Austin isn’t Texas, although you can see Texas from Austin.

A foreign correspondent I used to know liked to say that a good test for national decline is the smell of urine. In declining countries, one frequently smells it.

Americans in certain jurisdictions can expect to smell more urine soon. Left-wing prosecutors, some financed by George Soros, will be decriminalizing urination in public.

This is one of a several “quality of life” crimes the left wants to stop prosecuting. Some prosecutors also want theft below a certain dollar amount to go largely unpunished.

The theory behind this decriminalization effort is that poor people and members of certain minority groups commit a disproportionate number of these crimes. But it’s also the case that poor people and members of the same minority groups are disproportionately victimized by many of them.

They can expect to be smelling the urine first.

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof attacked the one network not pushing all-out for a Trump impeachment in the Sunday Review: “Is Fox ‘News’ Or Trump’s Bodyguard?” For the veteran liberal commentator, things were better when the three networks spouted the same brand of anti-Nixon corporate liberalism to an audience with few other news choices.

Ah, yes, those were the days….

There is no actual political debate at all. We live in a post-politics age. Everything now is a moral issue. Opposing immigration is morally wicked. Questioning feminism is morally wicked. Expressing doubts about the tranny stuff is morally wicked. Expressing anything less than absolute support for homosexuals is morally wicked. Questioning affirmative action is morally wicked. Expressing even mild scepticism about racial oppression is morally wicked.

Funny how this stuff overwhelmingly happens on one of the Left Coasts, not in Flyover Country (which has most of the guns).

Why do you think that might be?

CNN clickbait alarmism.

There are always people on the fringe who believe odd stuff. That’s why newspapers publish Your Daily Horoscope. The DemLegHump media focus on such people, the total world supply of which could fit into a Joe Biden Town Hall meeting, because the Narrative has as a major component the notion that the country is about to be overrun by racists, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK. (There are more homosexuals in the U.S. than there are neo-Nazis and KKK members combined. Go ahead, look it up.)

As Scott Adams points out in his new book Loserthink, which cannot be too highly recommended, the mainstream media business model is to GET CLICKS, and the way you GET CLICKS is to write a scary headline; it doesn’t matter if it goes to a bullshit article, as long as the poor suckers click through and trigger that ad view for which the platform will get paid.

Massachusetts Judge Shelley Joseph allegedly helped an illegal alien avoid ICE apprehension by directing him to leave through a back door in April 2018, prompting federal prosecutors to charge her with obstruction of justice.
Some in the immigrant activist community are not standing by Joseph, noting that she went so far as to turn off a recording of her conversation with lawyers while conspiring to help the illegal alien, which violated courtroom policy.
Joseph is refusing to take a plea deal and is instead choosing to fight the charges. The court case could take years to reach its conclusion.

One of the best ways to learn and come up with new ideas is to focus intensely on a problem, then let your mind wander.

Mighty oaks, as the saying goes, grow from little acorns. So too, apparently, do weird trends. The squirrels of South Korea can testify, because they are being forced to compete for their winter staple, acorns, by an unusual rival: humans.

So greedy are the humans, apparently, that the squirrels are in danger of starving. According to the Wall Street Journal, the newly-formed Acorn Rangers of Seoul’s Yonsei University are now protecting the local oaks from would-be acorn-pickers. And those pickers may not be pigs, but they’re still greedy. A wildlife report from 2018 found that South Korea’s squirrel population had declined about 30 per cent in ten years.

A small clinical study in California has suggested for the first time that it might be possible to reverse the body’s epigenetic clock, which measures a person’s biological age.

For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes. The participants’ immune systems also showed signs of rejuvenation.

The results were a surprise even to the trial organizers — but researchers caution that the findings are preliminary because the trial was small and did not include a control arm.

Based on Oxford College analysis, revealed within the British Medical Journal, vegetarians and vegans have a 20 % greater danger of stroke than those that frequently tuck right into a plate of bacon and sausages. The authors of the research, which tracked virtually 50,000 Britons for 18 years, mentioned this is likely to be as a result of veggies wouldn’t have not sufficient ldl cholesterol of their blood.

The discovering flies within the face of a lot typical knowledge, which says that vegetarianism is a wholesome various to a extra carnivorous life-style. We’re eternally being hectored in regards to the want – for each well being and environmental causes – to chop again on purple meat altogether.

But nutritionists say the elevated probability of stroke is simply one of many many well being dangers that any would-be vegetarian ought to be made conscious of earlier than they make the leap.

The healthiest diet for a creature is the one that it evolved to eat. For humans, that’s meat, fruit, and veggies. (Note the Oxford comma. Go thou and do likewise.) You want to give up cereals, be my guest. But keep the pig.

Ever wonder where wiping rags come from?

Few consumers, anywhere, have heard of the wiping-rag industry. But it bails out everyone. Approximately 30% of the textiles recovered for recycling in the U.S. are converted to wiping rags, according to Secondary Materials and Recycled Textiles (Smart), a trade association. And that’s probably an undercount. The 45% of recycled textiles that are reused as apparel eventually wear out, too. When they do, they’re also bound for the wiping-rag companies.
