Perhaps AARP should look into this apparent elder abuse by these radical canines. mspart

They went to lunch with Hitler. Got to keep an open mind those two!! mspart

He should find a mirror for what media matters did that immediately caused advertisers to go away from X? That's why there is a lawsuit. mspart

They do crazy things in NM!! No wonder they voted straight D. mspart

That's pretty funny. The only folks with no joy were the Ds both before and after the election. They are perpetually angry at all things that do not align with their psychotic wishes. This has been demonstrated constantly over the last 8 years. mspart

A Christmas Story is great. Polar Express is a good movie but the animation is a little bit creepy I admit. But the story is good. The animated Grinch from 1966 is a classic that needs to be watched every year. Positively brilliant. mspart

And they also reported, morning joe that is, that they found Trump cordial and wanting to work with Ds. Crazy!!! mspart

The two fights prior were pretty good. Mike Tyson came out aggressive at the beginning of round 1 and each successive round. For about 15 seconds maybe. But he had the reflexes and the stamina of a 58 year old. He was stiff and wooden and it was not a good look. It reminded me of me. I saw Veterans wrestling in 1999 in Seattle when the WTTs were here. I thought, I could do that, they are so slow, I will do pretty good. So I did the next three years. And didn't do well, because I was as slow or slower than the guys I watched. I also wasn't any good, but my reflexes were not there. If you watch the category 7 guys, you will see what I mean. So I can understand Tyson's look. I just thought based on his training videos he would come out like a maniac and end it within a round. He tagged Paul very good at the beginning of the first round and Jake wanted out of there and was running from him. Tyson just could not keep that up. At the end of the fight, Jake's ears were blood red and his face was very red. Whatever punches Tyson was able to land, they hurt I'm convinced of that. mspart

I have no opinion. She seems level headed. But the confirmation hearings will bring out more. Not a job I would want quite frankly. mspart

Agreed on all counts. I think Tyson loses if Paul can avoid him for 2 rounds. mspart

https://www.newsweek.com/could-kamala-harris-become-governor-california-what-poll-shows-1985229 Could Kamala Harris Become Governor of California? What Poll Shows Published Nov 13, 2024 at 1:08 PM EST Updated Nov 13, 2024 at 4:17 PM EST As speculation grows about the path that Vice President Kamala Harris' career will take after losing the presidential election, one poll suggests that a governorship could be in play. A new poll from UC Berkeley and the Los Angeles Times, conducted between October 22 and 29, shows Harris with a substantial advantage over other candidates for the 2026 California gubernatorial race as term-limited Governor Gavin Newsom can't run again. According to the poll, about 72 percent of Democrats said they would be very likely or somewhat likely support Harris for governor, compared with 8 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of voters with no party preference. Democrats in the state have a 2-1 voter registration advantage over Republicans. Overall, 46 percent of likely voters were somewhat (13 percent) or very (33 percent) likely to support her for governor in 2026, the poll found. My preference would be for her to just disappear. Now I do not like CA, no not one bit. I wish them earthquakes and fires as an upstanding and proud citizen of WA. They have ruined our state continually since the 1970s by moving in and paying cash for houses driving the prices sky high. . Kamala as governor would tank the state. That would be good. But I would rather CA actually survive and thrive as much as I hate them. I'd rather Kamala just go quietly away. I mostly jest in my animosity to CA but when given the chance to move there it was an emphatic NO. Similar sort of to my hatred of Auburn University. Proud 'Bama fan since I was able to discern. I grew up in Huntsville, AL. Great place to grow up!! I have a co-worker that is a proud Auburn alumni. He wears his Auburn hat everyday. We get along fine. mspart

My point exactly! mspart

That's pretty much the way in the fishing industry in Alaska. mspart

Hopefully he's on to something. Perhaps making the paper profitable is top on his priority list. I don't see him addressing the blatant bias in the "regular news" articles. That is what needs changing. mspart

Yep, it is not physically safe to be around your family. mspart

With a high IQ. They want go getters, not basement dwellers. mspart

And that means what exactly? If he was worried about financials would he have done the things he did to make it less profitable? Nope. He did what he did to streamline the corporatness of the enterprise and gain control of it so it would serve his purpose. Which he did. mspart

Musk did say at the outset that he didn't care about making money with Twitter. It was posted just above. Advertisers are coming back as noted above. So things are looking good for Twitter (X), but it is worth less yes. It is privately owned. So who cares if it is a better place to communicate? mspart

People who are married to their jobs oftentimes are not married to their families. It is hard to serve two masters as the saying goes. You concentrate on one at the expense of the other. mspart

It doesn't hurt me. It hurts your credibility as Husker notes. If you care, you would post effective communication rather than personally attacking people. Why do I care? Because I want civilized communication on these boards and you do not provide that when you attack people personally. mspart

Do you want a federal gov that prosecutes political enemies? You have that now. Do you want a federal gov that spends money with no thought of result? You have that now. Do you want a federal gov that favors censorship? You have that now. Do you think Kamala would have slowed any of these down? Do you think Trump will accelerate any of these? mspart

Gernerally this is true. mspart

The movement among these racially and behaviorally identified people that are so important to the Ds shows they are not drinking the Kool Aid in the numbers they did in the past. They are thinking individuals who do not vote or reason as a voting bloc but as individuals. That is the issue that the Ds miss in their identity politics. They need to focus less on color and more on individual and policy that will benefit such an individual. They assume Blacks will vote for them lockstep. That proved not the case. They assumed Latinos would vote for them lockstep due to the open border. That proved not the case ETC. mspart

Here are the trends from that website: Here are data that illustrate the scale of decline since Obama vanquished Mitt Romney in 2012. For this exercise, I use the Catalist data from 2012, the best retrospective data available, and compare it to the demographic group estimates from AP VoteCast, the best 2024 election data currently available. (It would be preferable to use 2024 Catalist data for this comparison but their data are not yet available.) Nonwhite voters overall. Obama carried these voters by 64 points; Harris carried them by 34 points. Democratic decline: 30 points. Black voters. Obama carried black voters in 2012 by an amazing 93 points. Harris managed only a 67-point margin. Democratic decline: 26 points. Latino voters. Obama carried Latinos by 39 points, Harris by just 12 points. Democratic decline: 27 points. It is interesting that the overall decline since 2012 is quite similar between blacks and Latinos; however, essentially all of the decline for Latinos was post-2016 while the black decline has been more or less continuous. Working-class (non-college) voters overall. Obama was the last Democratic presidential candidate to carry the working class as a whole (3-point margin). But Harris lost them solidly by 13 points. Democratic decline: 16 points. White working-class voters. The traditional trouble spot for Democrats; Obama lost them by 20 points, which goes up to 30 points in this election. Democratic decline: 10 points—which is a substantial and very consequential decline among a huge voter group. However, that decline pales in magnitude when compared to the decline among nonwhite working class voters. Nonwhite working class voters. Obama cleaned up among nonwhite working-class voters, carrying them by 67 points in 2012. This election the margin was down to 32 points, cutting the Democratic advantage by more than half. Democratic decline: 35 points. Black working-class voters. Black working-class voters gave Obama a 94-point margin in 2012, actually higher than among their college-educated counterparts. But in 2024, the Democratic margin among the black working class—64 points—was lower than among the college-educated, reversing the class polarity of the black vote. Democratic decline: 30 points. Latino working class voters. These voters gave Obama a 43-point advantage, much higher than among the Latino college-educated. In 2024 this crashed to a mere 8-point advantage for Harris. Democratic decline: 35 points, two and a half times the decline among the Hispanic college-educated. Young voters. Obama carried voters under 30 by 23 points; this election Harris managed only a 4-point advantage among this age group to the shock of most, particularly Democratic, observers. Democratic decline: 19 points. Of course, this is comparing an age group that had a different generational composition in the two elections. But this should provide little comfort to Democrats. The 18-29 year old age group in this election was composed almost entirely of Gen Z voters, supposedly the leading edge of a generational shift that would make the voting pool ever more Democratic. In 2012, the 18-29 year olds who provided Obama’s 23 point margin were all members of the Millennial generation. In 2024, those voters are now entirely contained in the 30-44 year old age group, where Harris eked out only a 3-point advantage. So much for the generational theory of political dominance. Young black voters. Black voters under 30 gave Obama a 92-point margin in 2012. Harris carried them by only 50 points. Democratic decline: 42 points(!) The decline was almost as large among black voters 30-44. Young Latino voters. In 2012, Obama dominated Hispanic voters under 30 by 54 points. Harris’s margin among these voters was just 17 points. Democratic decline: 37 points. Male black voters. While black female voters have also shifted right over time, the shift among black men has been far larger—almost three times the size. In 2012, Obama carried black men by 91 points; Harris’ margin crashed to 49 points in 2024. Democratic decline: 42 points. Male Latino voters. Latino men have also shifted harder right than their female counterparts. Obama enjoyed a 32-point advantage among Hispanic men in 2012. In this election, Harris was essentially tied among these voters, carrying them by only single percentage point. Democratic decline: 31 points. Discuss. mspart

How can you tell a Trump voter from a Harris voter? Perhaps you are surrounded and nothing has happened. Perhaps your fear is not reasonable. Where have you seen Trump supporters physically taking it to Harris supporters? mspart
