The Democrats abandoned the working class decades ago. Of that there is no doubt.
But it's only since 2016 when the divide between the party leadership and the base gotten so large and obvious that it can be measured.
For starters, let's look at what has changed with the voters.
Hmmm. Safe? Better look around. Gotta be careful these days.
Yep. Things are lookin' good.
Sorry to corrupt Shakespeare at the outset. But the sentiment is what matters on the days before this November 6 election. So, here is an excerpt from Harry’s speech:
“In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger.”
NOTE ONE
Has anyone's city experienced the military working with the police in the early hours? Are these types of exercises happening in other states or maybe in states that are close to a military base?

As we draw near to the midterms (or any election for that matter), we are drowned in the same messages that crop up every election cycle:
Americans want change.
Americans want a 3rd party.
Americans are hungry for someone who listens to them.
And it is all a lie.
The rebuttal is opinion polls.

Do you find it odd that we only spend four months on Standard Time and eight months on daylight saving time? What a con. No daylight is saved. The idea behind the changing of time was to save energy, but it doesn't. In fact DST seems to use more energy. Matthew Kotchen, a Yale economist, found a 1 percent increase in electricity use after Indiana introduced daylight saving statewide in 2006, estimating a cost of $9 million per year for consumers. No, it is about shopping...more shopping hours. Extra daylight means extra time to spend money. And if you’re in the United States, you’re probably going to get in your car to go spend that money. “Americans really do leave their homes when there is more sunlight at the end of the day,” said Michael Downing. “We go to the parks, and we go to the mall, but we don’t walk there,” he said. “Daylight saving increases gasoline consumption.” No one is more aware of that than gas stations, which is why the Association for Convenience and Fuel Retailing, a lobbying group for convenience stores, has pushed to start daylight saving time earlier in the year. This 1917 poster declares victory...a victory for capitalism and retailers.
Good morning to all!
