Democrats Are Cursing Up A Storm.

But one unifying thread as they try to invigorate their connection to the American voter has been a reach for profanity.
‘Potty mouth’ Democrats have some new fighting words we can’t put in this headline - POLITICO

Pope Francis Dies at 88 After Suffering Stroke, Heart Failure | The Epoch Times

Pope Francis, the first leader of the Roman Catholic Church to come from Latin America, and the first to come from the Western Hemisphere, has died.
Pope Francis I—born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and formerly the cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina—passed away on April 21 at 7:35 a.m. after suffering a stroke, falling into a coma, and suffering irreversible heart failure. He was 88 years old.
Hours before he died, the pope emerged on Easter Sunday to bless the thousands of people in St Peter’s Square in the Vatican, an independent enclave in the center of Rome.

The Grapes Of Climate Wrath

-
Steinbeck would have a field day with the ‘climate change criers’ and their fixations on wine growing changes.
The ‘current’ climate changes that began in 1750, without any assistance from mankind, have indeed made major changes in agriculture including wine cultivation. Wine growing areas around the world have been modified by weather changes as they have been in the past.
We are in yet another “natural inter-glacial”!
Cope with it and adapt to it!
That’s what survivors do!
Unicorns and Wooley Mammoth's not so much!

Climate change is redrawing the global wine map. Here’s what it means for your future vintages
Climate change is redrawing the global wine map. Here’s what it means for your future vintages | Euronews
England already has a reputation for great sparkling wines, as climate change shifts the focus of wine production.
deaux might soon have competition for the mantle of the world’s most famous wine region.
As climate change affects rainfall and temperatures continue to rise, experts predict that regions as far north as Yorkshire in the UK could become premier wine producers by the end of the century.
According to a recent Fine Wines and Restaurants Market Monitor report, Hull could be known for its cabernet sauvignon as soon as 2100, as climate change batters Bordeaux and transforms northern England into a hotspot for production.
Bordeaux might soon have competition for the mantle of the world’s most famous wine region.
‘Regions that couldn’t grow certain grapes can do that now’
Over the past decade, renowned vintages have emerged from increasinglyunlikely places. English sparkling wines are gaining global recognition, while Swedish whites have made surprising inroads on the international scene.
Clmate change is redrawing the wine map,” the report states, citing northern areas like Denmark that will thrive with longer growing seasons and milder conditions.

Does Natural Global Warming have good grape-wine outcomes?
“Farmers in medieval England launched a thriving wine industry. Good wines demand warm springs free of frosts, substantial summer warmth and sunshine without too much rain, and sunny days in the fall. Winters cannot dip below zero Fahrenheit for any significant period. The northern limit for grapes during the Middle Ages was about 300 miles above the current commercial wine areas in France and Germany.”

ReBuilding US Manufacturing?

-
Opportunity: Graduating from college in 1960’s with a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering!
-
More Opportunity: Graduating from college in 1970’s with a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering!
-
Less Opportunity: The 1990’s downsizing and off-shore outsourcing of high-tech products and manufacturing.
-
Minimal Opportunity: The devastation of the “Rust Belt” and massive loss of manufacturing jobs and US made products:
The new economy: You sell me insurance – I sell you stocks & bonds.
We don't want to manufacture anything here because it's demeaning, polluting, requires 'real-work' and causes global warming'.

How the U.S. Lost Its Place as the World’s Manufacturing Powerhouse - WSJ
In the 1950s, around 35% of private-sector jobs in the U.S. were in manufacturing. Today, there are 12.8 million manufacturing jobs in the U.S., an amount equal to 9.4% of those private-sector jobs.
President Trump says his sweeping tariff regime is aimed at bringing manufacturing back to the U.S.
-
-
Aggravating the US economic-manufacturing challenges are the massive movement to US-Socialism and Open-Borders, over-regulation, over-taxation, AntiBusiness environment and the abandonment of the Working Class by the ‘new-elitist Democrat Party’.

Broadcasting Biden’s Mental Acuity Issues.

-
The Roanoke Times republished the PravdaMedia repeating Biden’s Dementia-claims about Trump’s demise of Social Security.
-
It’s sad to see the PravdaMeidis searching for “news” in the delusions and fantasies of a diminished old man who has demonstrated serious mental acuity issues, well documented and acknowledged by his own White House and Democrat entities.
Let’s just keep telling the ‘Trump Social Security Lies” over and over and perhaps some of our vulnerable senior citizens will believe them and become fearful and distraught.

What kinds of persons take pleasure in performing these sick acts?

Perhaps the same kind of people who find joy in watching male athletes abusing female athletes.

Harvard A Poison Ivy School

-
Harvard ‘has been’ an example of education leadership and exceptionalism.
Their Law School was outstanding and sought after by the highest academic achievers.
Historically Jewish students were a significant segment of their faculty and student community.
Apparently over the past multiple decades, a major change came over Harvard and their faculty and student body. They have somehow become ‘fellow travelers’ of the AntiIsraeli movement, resulting in a hostile environment for their Jewish students and community.

Trump Threatens to Revoke Harvard’s Tax-Exempt Status

‘Deeply Sick’: Over 30 Harvard University Groups Blame Israel After Hamas Commits Atrocities | The Daily Wire
A joint statement from dozens of groups of Harvard University students blamed Israel for the violence and atrocities committed by the deadly terrorist group Hamas in its attack against the Jewish state.
Despite Hamas committing war crimes, entering civilians’ homes and murdering babies, children, women, mothers and fathers, brutalizing the victims, the students claimed it was “entirely” Israel’s fault.
