From Politico.
NEW YORK — President Joe Biden has a new problem: a competitive race in deep blue New York.
Elected officials, union leaders and political consultants are panicking over polls showing a steady erosion of Biden’s support in a state he won by 23 points four years ago. They’re so worried they’ve been trying to convince the Biden team to pour resources into New York to shore up his campaign and boost Democrats running in a half-dozen swing districts that could determine control of the House.

Seeing the band name provokes no memories of radio singles. I'm sure there must have been some, but wihtout listening to Casey Kasem, it was hard to know who the artists were on Top 40 readio after the '60s.
I just found out, for example, that "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was by Yes.

Always thought she was lovely in her Lassie and Lost in Space days. And she guested on an early U.N.C.L.E. episode too, together with Ricardo Montalban.
Her daughter Anne was another example of "When you see him/her, you know whose child he/she has to be," like Miguel Ferrer and Jose Ferrer, or Kiefer Sutherland and Donald.

Nope. You do you. I am firm in the belief that most bands who are widely "regarded", like - but not exclusively - Rush, are that way because everybody knows that they're just so, so good but they never actually listen to them.
Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Yes, etc. are the same. At least my favorite band is in a more peripheral genre and, at least previously, caught tons of flack even there.

“I demand mask availability, air filtration and Far-UVC light in government facilitates, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical faculties.”
“You must expand the availability of high-quality free tests and treatment, and most importantly the county must oppose mask bans for any reason. They do not keep us safer.”

Slightly interesting intro comes on the radio, then-

2) Slightly interesting intro suddenly becomes boring song
3) 1 & 2 combined for the ultimate listening horror.

@jacobkornbluh The DSA rescinds endorsement of AOC because she hosted an online panel discussion with two leading Jewish experts on antisemitism.
“This sponsorship is a deep betrayal to all those who’ve risked their welfare to fight Israeli apartheid and genocide.”
Yikes! I did not realize how overtly committed they are to antisemitism! Aoc gets the boot for talking to jews about antisemitism.
DSA suddenly got large and well-funded around 2014 or so. The influx of funds coincided with Putin's campaign against Ukraine and then Trump's campaign.
Many members of DSA identify as communists, and they admire not just Putin and Russia, but also North Korea. I hadn't realized that antisemitism was so deeply embedded in DSA and other groups. They'll tell you they're just anti-Israel, but their words and actions - like this one - show otherwise.

It's a way to launder money and/or operate outside of the tax system (which is another way of saying laundering money).
It will stop working when the power or internet goes out, so it's not a sound SHTF strategy, but if you need to launder money or do questionable stuff without easily traced financial ties, it's an option.

I've seen several videos where blacks are asked about their ability to get ID, where they use it and how they vote. The Democrat's narrative about them is full on racist. But the promise of free shit every year is a strong incentive to vote for that person.
I think that's beginning to change... slowly. The influx of illegals and the Democrats shifting over to them as the preferred minority class is pissing the blacks off to no end.

She is winsome and charming, wondering aloud if "anyone will ever put flowers on my grave."

Overrated albums perhaps, but the Beatles had genuine talent if you like rock/pop intersection music.
Also George Martin has something to do with it as his recordings are far better sounding than a lot of the sixties trash producers. Berry Gordy at MoTown was a similar genius record producer where 60's dinky 4 Track recordings still sound great in a true hi fi era.

Their influence on British and American cultere (hell, maybe even world culture) was astonishing, and they should be noted in history for that alone. Aside from that, they produced a lot of good singles before they went into their psychedelic phase. You listen to "I Saw Her Standing There" and you begin to understand what all the fuss was about.

Bitcoin, etc. is mostly useful for internet wheeling and dealing and especially across borders. Read with some amusement about an early Bitcoin broker that collapsed when 85 percent of the bitcoins were stolen and never recovered. The remaining 15 percent of bitcoin investments ended up making all investors whole when the receivers finally closed up shop. That appreciation was in a decade or so.

Expect to hear very little about the shooting in Kentucky from this week. Here’s why: 7 people were shot and it appears this was only possible because a left wing Judge named Kathleen Lape gave a child rapist probation and no jail time.
The shooter is reportedly Chase Garvey. He’s a convicted child rapist who once lured a 13 year old from Snapchat to rape her. Left wing Judge Kathleen Lape gave him only 5 years of probation. It gets even worse though because she had a second chance to jail him.
Chase violated probation and she still only gave him 30 days in county jail when she could have given him a 5 year sentence. He should have been sentenced to much worse than that from the start but even just enforcing his full 5 year jail sentence for violating probation would’ve saved 7 people from being shot and 4 people wouldn’t be dead right now.

I grew up with classical music including years of piano lessons. Much of it I like. Same as gospel (was in church choirs back in the day). But there is no need to limit oneself--I like blues (sometimes played boogie woogie on piano), rock, country, etc.
About the only things I don't like is operatic singing (like the accompaniment), rap, and modern computerized crap with autotune and computerized instrument inputs. Uncanny valley for that.

Of course you can buy it and sell it. That doesn't make it an investment.
An investment by definition is something other than money, that is expected to provide income, or a return. A stock or rental property is an investment.

Really? They were talented, had some great hits and a couple of solid albums. I don't think of them as being overplayed, either...although they're (understandably) a staple of classic rock stations.
Posted by: Moron Analyst at July 11, 2024 10:41 AM (JCZqz)
I think the problem with Boston is that they have 3 albums and, near as I can tell, every song sounds the same. Maybe that's due to the selection I've been exposed to but it doesn't make me want to find out more.

There is disagreement behind the scenes about Biden. It's a brewing argument that's been lingering since 2020 when Biden won despite institutional support...everywhere else, and popped up again in 2023 when the primary was about to begin.
Maybe...they should have had a primary. A real one.
Because Biden's not going anywhere willingly.

An investment by definition is something other than money, that is expected to provide income, or a return. A stock or rental property is an investment.
-
As mentioned above, it's an investment in operation outside of the system. It's probably going to seem like splitting hairs since people view bitcoin as a type of money, but it's not. That's the "other than money" element that people are buying, and some people make money off of it and some people lose money off of it.

No, they were screwed when they choose HIM, of all people, to be their avatar in 2020...hoping/assuming he'd voluntarily step down after a year.

Sure. Vigorous primaries against incumbents are generally rare, and even more rare for incumbent presidents.
But it's obvious that many major power brokers didn't like Biden, didn't think he could win before the primary, and were pushing for him to get out as early as last year.
They chose to try and get rid of him through back channel pushing instead of the primary process. Because they don't think the people should have a say.

It will be scripted. First or second Joe will select a reporter who has agreed to ask a question about his debate performance and if he's still running. A friendly set-up for Joe. Joe will repeat he had bad night and is in the race all the way. Then he'll burn time reciting his standard anti-Trump stump speech. When he gets more questions about the debate, unscripted, he'll say he already answered them, then say he will only take questions about other topics.
Could work. Depends on how frequently he goes head-down for a long time reading his note cards and the binder that will be on the podium before he enters. And on him not going into Blank Brandon-face mode.

Heaven help us.
