It seems we are drifting into an era of stalemate, and the globalist forces win a stalemate as it preserves the status quo.
One viewpoint to advance would be we have two political parties disintegrating, but a media, donor and elite class intact, and the public separating into three groups:
To defeat the elitists, I posit a leader needs to blend groups 2 and 3 into common cause over time.
It may not be possible.
“Joined at the head, their brains are connected by a thalamic bridge which gives them neurological capabilities that researchers are only now beginning to understand… Krista and Tatiana Hogan share the senses of touch and taste and even control one another’s limbs. Tatiana can see out of both of Krista’s eyes, while Krista can only see out of one of Tatiana’s… Tatiana controls three arms and a leg, while Krista controls three legs and an arm. They can also switch to self-control of their limbs…”
The comments are interesting too, but are generally beyond my pay grade.

It occurs to me that the next time Dems have control the way they did after 2010, they might do with guns what they did with health insurance. This might sound preposterous. However, I didn’t think they’d get away with their health insurance reform, yet they did. There are 2A Dems, but it seems to me that their numbers are in steep decline.
What do you think? Am I imagining things or does this seem plausible?

I am snuggled up with Snooks on a comfy sofa at home. I left work at a decent time, and took her out to a mid-price restaurant, and we came home for a dessert comprised of Baptist Church Lady Fundraiser cookies.
Then I made mimosas (her choice) and set up to watch the 2016 election night coverage. CNN was schadenfreude at once. NBC was pretty amusing. For an almost painful review, we looked at PBS, but that was such high distress that she made me switch away. We watched Fox and Breitbart, and now she is bringing up ABC for fresh entertainment value. While she is pulling that one up on one screen, I have Morning Joe from the following morning running on the other.
This is a great date. Good for … Continue reading
I am encouraged by the comments on our Radio Free Ricochet post. I go back and forth on some of the overarching issues on how to handle things at times. This website well pre-dates its function as a relief valve or safe harbor for Ricochetti. That is not its manifest purpose, but it is a welcome opportunity to take care of friends. As such, we’re not founded here on complaining about others. This is not verizoneatspoop.com, which was a real website years ago.
One thing that most of us do have in common is a set of viewpoints or an approach to discourse which is not exactly welcome over there. This is more than an accident — we are largely self-selected for this trait. Yet it is not … Continue reading
So Democrats are angry that Trump keeps throwing them off of their new “Better Deal” campaign with flareups about social issues. They’re worried that things like transsexual bathrooms are proving to be unpopular with voters. They’re worried that the Alt-Right and the Alt-Light are stretching the Overton Window wider than the southern border. The linked article notes…
” Whether it was his response to the Charlottesville white nationalist march or his condemnation of NFL players who knelt during the anthem to protest police brutality, Trump forced Democrats onto the battlefield of his choosing.”
Maybe the Democrats should have thought this through a little better before grabbing their pile of chips and going all-in on Black Lives Matter, gender-is-a-spectrum, and “So DIE already, whitey”.

I love looking at maps. Just recently, for example, I was wasting time looking at Google maps of the Las Vegas valley. I moved to Las Vegas in August, and I was curious about how many actual cities are in the valley. I discovered that there are four cities here: Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City. So then I was examining their actual boundaries, and discovered that “the Strip” is not even in the city of Las Vegas! It is in the county. So there’s a piece of trivia for you.
Here is a map I just came across this morning that I thought you all would appreciate. It shows all of the counties that changed party in the 2016 election. (Source)

Well, here it is. Claire Berlinski, an editor-at-large over at Ricochet.com, has written a post describing her dissatisfaction with Trump, and detailing the reasons why she won’t discuss her book. But she won’t discuss the reasons for her dissatisfaction with Trump, arguing that it takes a book. That’s right, no way to summarize the argument in a way that preserves its essence. You’ll just have to read the book to find out what’s in it. Fair enough — this is book sales, not legislation. At the same time, I think that discussing a book too much can discharge the creative tension, essential in non-fiction just as much as in fiction. So there are good reasons to shut up about one’s book, even to financial backers.
Yet she takes … Continue reading
