I miss my friends. We lost one another somewhere along the way, through the pandemic and politics of the last few years, old boys who had known one another since Little League and caught boatloads of walleyes together on Storm Lake in Iowa. (snip) I know where I live. Northwest Iowa is a frozen slice of Texas, one of the most conservative places in the country. I guess I am what you call woke because I don't think immigrants are the problem; I think income — lack of it — is the problem.
When Gabrielle Robertson rented a room at a house near the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, she says her only alternative was the street.
“It was literally, I didn’t have any other option,” Robertson said.

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former Attorney General Eric Holder commented on President Joe Biden’s poll numbers by stating that “as the media turns its attention to making this a binary choice between a person who’s got some age and cognitive issues — that would be Trump — against somebody who has actually accomplished a lot, I think we’ll do just fine.”
Host Bill Maher asked, “What do you make of the fact that the Democrats, by every poll I read, are, I would just say, losing their base? If you look at non-white working-class voters, there has been a 61-point shift, that’s an incredible amount, from 2012,

from Shelters as New 60-Day Limit Takes Effect 16 replies
Chicago will evict some 5,600 illegal immigrants from city shelters in waves beginning on Sunday, as Mayor Brandon Johnson’s new rule limiting migrant shelter stays to 60 days takes effect.
Thirty-four illegal immigrants will be evicted on Saturday as the policy finally kicks in, after having been delayed on multiple occasions since November because of cold weather.
While exemptions will be made for illegal immigrants who have medical conditions, are in the process of securing housing, are experiencing domestic violence, or are pregnant, others who have overstayed the 60-day limit will be evicted in the coming weeks and told to report back to the city’s “landing zone,”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's family has denounced an award in her name being given to Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch, among others.

Who knew sustainability could be so ssssserious and yet, so ssssilly? Apparently, researchers who compiled a report suggesting that humans could potentially replace beef, poultry, and fish with – snake meat. The idea is intriguing, of course. But given America’s dietary hissstory, it might be a hard sell for most of us.
A new study reveals that farming pythons in Southeast Asia could offer a more environmentally friendly source of meat. Researchers observed the serpents in Thailand and Vietnam for 12 months, and discovered that raising these reptiles leaves less of a carbon footprint than traditional livestock.
Of course, this is probably because snakes don’t have feet.

Trump Has Not Reached Out to Nikki Haley Democrats 12 replies
The apparatus of the Republican influence system is not happy that President Trump has not reached out to Nikki Haley and her coalition of Democrats in order to solicit their support. Politico outlines the unhappiness amid the Koch network that President Trump has not called them or asked for their support. The MAGA movement should anticipate the professional Republican apparatus now looking to embed Bush-Cheney-Haley types to control the outcomes of Donald Trump, and the likelihood of a successful presidential race. Nothing angers the professional Republicans quite like ignoring them and being successful without their crustless triangle cucumber sandwiches.
