We have heavy showers, can’t really complain about that. Almost seven inches over the last week.

The real-time graphic link is interesting, it seems to have darkened fast compared to the SF picture. Different equipment and angle too of course

Team corporate which finances both parties, has got to be grinning from ear to ear.
Look at the resources they are just plain pouring over the new democratic tools they
own, as in Kamala Harris x 20.
Bernie was the first time that in our history we have ever had someone make significant headway without corporate funding.
He inspired others to do the same, and they are succeeding at an increasing rate.
Corporate world will work overtime to compromise them, and they are masters of
that game. On the other hand these people understand what is at stake.
I feel better about potential for change than I have felt for awhile.

Survey: Nearly half of Canadians think US has a large number of neo-Nazis


A survey released Thursday finds that nearly 5 in 10 Canadians believe the U.S. is home to a significant number of white supremacists and followers of neo-Nazi ideology.
In a Schoen Consulting poll commissioned by the Azrieli Foundation and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, 47 percent of Canadian adults said that "a great deal" or "many" neo-Nazis exist in the U.S.
Just 17 percent said a "great deal" or "many" neo-Nazis live in Canada by comparison, according to the survey. Many Canadians, however, lack basic knowledge about anti-Semitism's history. Forty-nine percent of Canadians could not name one former Nazi prison camp active during World War II, a number that included 52 percent of millennial respondents.
"The results of this study should cause great concern about Holocaust education and the gaps we have again uncovered," said Greg Schneider, vice president of the Claims Conference, in a press release accompanying the survey.
"We must do all we can to educate about the horrors of the Holocaust; it is incumbent on us to ensure that those who suffered so greatly are remembered, while their stories are told and taught by future generations."
The survey, which was taken in September, comes months after another survey commissioned by the same organization found that 41 percent of Americans were unable to identify Auschwitz, the most infamous Nazi death camp.
That survey also found that 58 percent of Americans believe a genocide like the Holocaust could potentially happen again and that 7 in 10 Americans believe people do not care about the Holocaust like they used to.
Schoen Consulting's poll for the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany collected results from 1,100 Canadian adults from Sept. 1 to 8, 2018, and carries a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

Does this have anything to do with the "Coldest Winter" quote (about the summer in SF ) ?

What did Mark Twain say about South America or Mexico ?

What did Mark Twain say about South America or Mexico ?
He was opposed to the Munroe Doctrine, and had a daughter who
supported it.
The result was a painful rift between the two of them.
His daughter earned a very healthy income doing readings of his material.
She had a body of his work locked down and secured for 100 years,
doing so deprived her of an income.

That’s an interesting survey showing Canadian viewpoints, easy to see how that happens.

The racist viewpoints part of the article remind me of a relevant statement from Andrew Gillum to Rick Santis, which could be applied to potus, in short, “I’m not calling you a racist Mr. Santis, but the racists think you are a racist”

The Holocaust part of the survey is pretty disturbing.


As far as 2723 Q st. NW goes,
The picture is interesting, reminds me of older homes in wealthier areas of St. Louis. Worked for others and also had a landscape/ design/ build business there for thirty years,

Always surprised when I see homes of high value not maintained well, especially when it would take so little to make it 100%

Multi million homes not spending an additional 500-1000$ a year for adequate weeding and pruning care. Eye of beholder I suppose.

Likely the significance is not design or maintenance related, but agency related

Seeing a question regarding shrinkage of the middle class responded to in the negative, I was surprised at the difference in perspective from my own.
We have had an entire generation grow up in a society that pretended it has not been gutted.

Yes ,,,,disturbing,,,
Also in the uk ,,it would seem that 1 in 20 didn’t believe the holocaust happened whilst the same number didn’t know how many Jews were murdered during ww2,,,,s2

We could have nation heath care and free higher education, and subsidized housing for a fraction of what gets spent on global "adventurism", which benefits only a tiny group of elites.

G `day G

I posed this question before .
Seems relevant here .

What about the millions of Jews Stalin killed ?
That is just over looked so we can make the Germans feel guilty ?

In the second half of the twentieth century, Americans were taught to see both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union as the greatest of evils. Hitler was worse, because his regime propagated the unprecedented horror of the Holocaust, the attempt to eradicate an entire people on racial grounds. Yet Stalin was also worse, because his regime killed far, far more people, tens of millions it was often claimed, in the endless wastes of the Gulag. For decades, and even today, this confidence about the difference between the two regimes—quality versus quantity—has set the ground rules for the politics of memory. Even historians of the Holocaust generally take for granted that Stalin killed more people than Hitler, thus placing themselves under greater pressure to stress the special character of the Holocaust, since this is what made the Nazi regime worse than the Stalinist one.

My thoughts as I read this, are of those from the same era who came by ship to these shores and were turned away, the result being that most died in terrible circumstances in the second world war.
I find myself reluctant to examine other countries atrocities or morality too closely, lest someone should do the same.
There are days that I am dissatisfied with my ability to offer anything even approaching an appropriate response to the issues in these threads. This certainly has been one.
I admire how Germany has reconciled itself with the past.
