Good Morning Morons today is Sunday, March 1, 2020 On this date in 1692 Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne and Tituba are brought before local magistrates in Salem Village, Massachusetts, beginning what would later become known as the Salem witch trials. But contrary to popular movies no witches were burned in the colonies. Mostly they were hanged.

Biteme wins big in SC. Tentative results show him 30 pts up over Sanders. N 48.4/19.9; the polls were wrong again. Note that the other candidates are way down the list. We should see some of them dropping out soon.

But the pundits are saying it is probably too late for him to catch Sanders. The next on the agenda is 'super Tuesday'.

I am leaning toward voting for the dumb one in VA's primary on Tuesday, as it's open. The goal is to cause enough fragmentation that the Dems stagger into the convention and have a screeching catfight, where they will go full socialist and pick comrade Bernie. Which will repel millions of Dem voters.
Oh, by 'the dumb one', i mean Biden. THAT dumb one. Also, online i am now being bombarded with Bernie ads. Good Lord, what an eerie approach: "Listen, I need you to do me a favor." Dude, I don't know you. And your accent alone is enough to drive me away. The 1/1024th Cherokee is also spending online add money here. She really thinks that "I'll fight" is a winning approach.

While they will never, ever admit this, I think they already know they're going to lose, big time, no matter which one of these chuckleheads they pick.

But currently easing (or at least pausing any raises) will "help".

Druckenmiller says fed would be political if they act just so they don't look like they are being bullied by Trump. idk what is next, "they" might want to tank markets ... anything to stop Trump. But the monetary bubble is a real thang ... we need to get past the election though, before we can deal with it, cuz people vote for Santa Claus promises. this (YouTube link) is from a month ago ... but Druckenmiller notes the tough position Powell is in ... "Yellen said she was going to hike four times, but she did not hike until after Trump's election". True ... Fed tried to help Hillary ... hikes started right after the election 2016, and probably influenced the 2018 election. But all we hear is "Russia influenced our elections".

OK, possibly silly and selfish question here: in the most recent analysis of death rates from coronavirus in China, it was determined that the death rate was 0.2 percent for people with no pre-existing conditions, but went up to 6 percent for people with hypertension and 10 percent for those with heart disease. If you had high BP but now have it under control due to meds, exercise, etc. does that mean you're still in the higher risk category?

Bloomberg is in it till the end unless he runs out of money (which won't happen). Biden has been revitalized. If he wins a couple of states on Super Tuesday, he'll stay in.

There is no proof that the Fed has any idea how to build a stable economy, much less cleverly manipulate one. The Fed's raising interest rates came as a response to rising wages, which were interpreted as "inflation." This was because the Fed assume that real wages would never rise again. But they did, because Trump's border controls and on-shoring actually caused the labor market to tighten. This used to be normal, but since the Fed has taken it as a given that it's *impossible* for blue-collar wages to ever increase, it had to have been inflation, and therefore needed to be swiftly crushed.

They literally have no idea how they work. Thus, tried and tested tools sat and rusted while the working classes were told globalism is inevitable. Trump and his team knew that was bullshit, but all the money men disagreed. Now they're helplessly watches as Trump's policies do things we've been told needed a magic wand: Rising real wages for blue collar workers Full employment for same Skilled labor wages outpacing useless office drones Surges in American manufacturing Next up: Rising birth rate as booming pay scales make families more attractive and the American Dream is once more something people believe in.

I went to an auction (relatively crowded event) where people were talking about this and acting as if a corona virus patient would have the mark of Cain. The reality was that nobody in that room had the slightest idea of who the people next to them or the row in front of them had been with or if they had traveled to Japan or Venice or Korea. None at all. The people sort of knew each other from other similar events, but probably couldn't tell you last names, occupations, or hometowns of the others. The idea that anyone's circle of acquaintances has no people who could be in harm's way is probably not reasonable. Kids and grandkids might get mild cases and no one will be any the wiser til great grandpa gets it. I'm not doing any more than extra handwashing and spraying a few doorknobs with disinfectant.

The 2018 election results were because of Paul Ryan's do nothing Congress being more interested in furthering the Russia scam, and hamstringing Devin Nunes in the process, than honoring campaign promises other than a half assed tax cut. Posted by: Captain Hate at March 01, 2020 08:03 AM (y7DUB) --- The Dems had been whipped to a fever pitch, so it was going to be tough no matter what Ryan did. I think a more significant outcome was learning that the "fiscal conservatives" were complete and utter frauds. Ryan's "Roadmap" was b.s. from top to bottom. Romney's cut from the same cloth. These guys would not only be fine approving bloated deficits, but happy to boost spending for Planned Parenthood in the bargain because "that's not the hill to die on," or some other nonsense.

Ryan was one of the biggest con jobs the GOP ever inflicted on the base. I still remember a 2010 interview Hugh Hewitt had with him, after the Tea Party driven election results put the GOP in charge, and for once that windbag Hewitt was doing the right thing, hectoring Eddie Munster to follow through on promises to make deep cuts. You could tell that Paulie Peanuts was really uncomfortable which gave me a heads up on what really lay ahead. It was downhill from there. Thank God the voters rejected him and Mutt Rombley.

I'm curious if anybody is seeing people wearing face masks or doing panic buying or whatever in their 'hoods?
I went to the Walmart yesterday here in AZ to pick up my weekly groceries and stuff. Seemed to be normal there. No face masks on anybody, shelves were fully stocked, nobody's cart was piled high with multiples of anything, there were the usual number of people there. Seemed like business as usual. I'm also curious to see if this virus can stand the AZ weather. We had 75 yesterday, will have 78 today, and it'll be in the triple digits by April or May. Hopefully this thing will have burned out long before then, but until then, people here don't seem to be panicking. Probably a big disappointment to the MSM and the Dims (but I repeat myself).

Steyer illustrates the massive difference between the so-called robber barons of the 19th century and today's billionaires. The wealthy elites of the past used their money for tangible institutions that everyone could use. They built schools, universities, libraries, concert halls, churches, hospitals, etc. Today's elite spend their money on left wing political issues such as climate change, gun control, trans silliness, etc. The elites of the past gave; the elites of today try to control. Think of all the productive things that Steyer could have done with that $200 million.

It does my heart good to see that Steyer dropped out, simply because Steyer always gave off the most noxious serial killer psycho stench of anyone in their clown car. He's a global warming fanatic who spent years trying to get Trump impeached.
And how much did he spend? One report says $160 mil, one says $190 mil, one says $250 mil for his entire campaign efforts so far. And for what? NOTHING!!! HA!!! Remember this whenever anyone starts going on about how Money is everything in today's elections. It gets a candidate through the door - but it doesn't seal the deal.

I submitted one a couple weeks ago criticizing one of the paper's editorials (muzzie a-hole) that ripped the SOTU and Rush's award. Got a letter yesterday (2 weeks later) with a hand written note, and this woman took time to clip small articles and printouts highlighting her opinion of Rush Limbaugh calling him a racist, etc., carrying on how economy sucks.

'Loretta Lynn has talked a lot about had bad it has become. Country music went to shit starting in the 80s. '
The thing is, people listen to that crap, all day long sometimes. I guess they like it. Who am I to judge? Posted by: freakd at March 01, 2020 08:56 AM (Tnijr) 362
ALL commercially promoted music went to shit
starting in the 80's. My theory is that all of the actual musicians were driven out of the business by the accountants and marketing managers, and they were replaced by dancers and prancers and lip synchers and "performers", none of whom have a single ounce of true creativity in them.

People can say what they will about noblesse oblige but the elites of the past believed in their duty to elevate those below them.
They also believed in God and eternal judgment. Posted by: Ghost of Lee Atwater at March 01, 2020 08:46 AM (nu45M) Removing religion from regular lifestyles was one of the left's more pernicious victories, because it put everyone in a community. The Episcopal Church turning into a social justice enclave drove me away, probably by design. Posted by: Captain Hate at March 01, 2020 08:57 AM (y7DUB) 365

They still haven't give the public enough information about it. So public the fills the vacuum with conspiracy theories and just nonsense.

Here's a question not related to anything:
Are there any languages that are "phoneme complete"? I doubt that's the proper word for it, but i mean a case where every possible valid combination of phonemes up to a certain count yields a valid word in the language. Maybe some kind of polynesian related language? Posted by: Warai-otoko at March 01, 2020 08:58 AM (6FeV1) 369

The donk establishment did not learn anything from Nanzi's mistakes
she waited too long to do anything about the extremists therefore, she was swallowed by their ideology the establishment has made the same mistake on the bright side for them is the fact that this will probably cure the donks of their extremists, somewhat wont be rid of them but they will be sidelined Posted by: REDACTED at March 01, 2020 08:59 AM (rpxSz) 373

>>Thread's kinda slow. Has anyone mentioned how awful modern country music
is? It really is. It's like white people's rap, but worse. I was subjected to about an hour of it last Friday and I couldn't wait to get out of there. Yup, all those "crossover" artists like Jusin Beiber making Country songs. Yeah, Allan Jackson has a song about that. Loretta Lyn recently declared Country is dead.

Posted by: freakd at March 01, 2020 08:56 AM (Tnijr) With digital music and streaming services, if you can't find anything to listen to you're not looking hard enough. Plus things like Bandcamp have pretty much destroyed the dogshit gatekeepers at the big labels. Posted by: Captain Hate at March 01, 2020 09:01 AM (y7DUB) 378
For the last 10 years, I've used an average 3 postage stamps per year.
I use a lot of stamps because I send out cards-signed by our congregation if they feel that their loves ones wouldn't mind-to let the know we are thinking of them and praying for them. It's the ministry of little notes-an idea given to my by a lovely elderly congregation members years ago who has since gone to be with the Lord because she sent cards to people for everything.
