"Voting is tribal. People vote with their group, for the interests of their group–and these groups happen to correspond surprisingly well with race and ethnicity."

"His (certainly profitable) revulsion from Trump, shared by so many (but certainly not all) other Jewish intellectuals (here, here, here, here, here), has left him simply unable to reckon with or even acknowledge the plain facts that he himself has here presented."

Marriott Data Breach Is Traced to Chinese Hackers as U.S. Readies Crackdown on Beijing

From Snoopy's wsj link: "Baby boomers are aging alone more than any generation in U.S. history, and the resulting loneliness is a looming public health threat."

Some might call that a public health opportunity.

On a more serious note, this is an obvious result of social security and medicare. Prior to SS most people had to move in with their kids. They couldn't afford to live alone.

Enjoy the comments as well.

Pelosi disparaged Trump's "manhood" after he ambushed her by inviting the press to his sit-down with her and Schumer to discuss funding the wall. Both Pelosi and Schumer insisted, after the press was invited in, that the negotiations on the wall should take place "in private" - this despite having pledged transparency and openness in doing the people's business.

Pelosi called it a "tinkle contest with a skunk." Tinkle? What is she, five years old?

Naturally, the NBC link does not mention Pelosi and Schumer insisting that all negotiations should done in private, limiting the network's coverage to Pelosi's reaction and Trump's bombast.

Not sure who won this particular "tinkle contest," but it does make one wonder why that doddering old fool, [insert fool of choice's name here], was elected. And, sadly, it gives some credibility to those voters who wanted to see it all torn down and replaced with anything else.

Lol, Russians spent $4700 on Google Ads to steal the 2016 election.

Mueller spent $40 million investigating it.

LOL at this ham-fisted, amateur PR response to @tabletmag's expose on the anti-Semitism that forms the foundation of the Women's March. "Promise to delete your tweet about an article we don't like, and we might send you 'facts' you're not allowed to publish because journalism."

About an 1858 kidnapping in Italy:

"Why Some Catholics Defend the Kidnapping of a Jewish Boy: It’s not about the Church’s relationship with Jews. It’s about the culture war inside the Church."

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/01/some-catholics-are-defending-the-kidnapping-of-a-jewish-boy/551240/

Quote:

"It’s worth noting, however, that when some traditionalists defend the fact that their Church kidnapped a Jewish boy, they’re not just waxing nostalgic about the good old days when an almighty pope could do as he pleased. They’re making a larger theological argument—about divine doctrine trumping human morality, and about religion taking precedence over civil rights."

(Btw, Steven Spielberg is making a movie about the kidnapping.)

The WSJ finally found a way to block the Archive website.
