Sandbox – 28sep20

28 September 2020

[Pelosi and her team continue to accuse President Trump of having violated laws and the Constitution without providing a shred of evidence or supportive back-up. And their vastly more college-educated leftwing constituency laps it hook, line, and sinker up without ever asking which laws or constitutional provisions the president has violated. As we have observed, it all turns out to be part and parcel of progressive jurisprudence – all allegations from the Left are on their face to be accepted as evidence sufficient for indictment. gjr]

Paul is more hilarious than usual. – “What is so bad about the idea anyway? Is there something inherently wrong with low income people that makes us want to keep them out of our suburban neighborhoods? Where should they be living?”
Apparently Paul has never studied what happens to areas after the ‘projects’ move in.
Increased crime, litter, graffiti – sounds great, huh, Paul.
What’s stopping Paul from moving next to some urban projects?
Where should they live?
It isn’t a matter of where ‘poor’ people live.
They can live anywhere they want.
It’s a matter of ‘where and how’ the govt puts poor people.
Cabrini Greens ring any bells with you, Paul?
And notice Paul refuses to answer why wealthy white leftists never ever have any ‘projects’ near where they live.
Bottom line – Trump wasn’t being racist.
Fake news, again.

Friday, Kunstlerday.
“…..
The latter matter hints at the catastrophe lurking in the background of the election: the stupendous mass bankruptcy of unemployed or laid-off middle-class people whose rent and mortgage payment holidays will eventually run out, not to mention car payments and all the other overdue, usual, rotating bills each household must pay to stay above water. After half a year of lockdowns, millions are on the brink of financial ruin.
Of all the things that have made Americans anxious and hysterical this year, this horror of middle-class financial ruin has not quite expressed itself overtly in the public arena — at least, not in the streets. For sure, the Antifas and BLM mobs have been active looting, burning, and smashing things up, but many of these are unemployables, and the ones burdened with college debt may be counting on Democratic Party promises of a jubilee on that.
The foundering middle-class may be people most sympathetic to Trump and Trumpism. You can’t sell them on the identity politics nonsense that has become the Dems’ stock-in-trade. Laid-off airline pilots, hair stylists, and insurance adjusters are probably not interested in critical race theory, gender dysphoria, re-imagining law enforcement, able-ism, and the travails of the “neuro-diverse” (the latest term-of-art for the mentally ill). They may also catch a whiff of yet deeper economic calamity in the Democrats’ relish for more lockdowns, and even in the promised “universal basic income” schemes that would pay the able-bodied to not work. The question for this large group is how many will swap their liberty for the very sketchy and conditional security of a Woke nanny state that requires strict obedience to whatever crazy crusade it thinks up next?
There’s your true friction point in the current disposition of things. People used to being busy, productive, and independent may feel a mighty resentment about becoming that kind of society, and they may fight over it. At least they’ll turn out to vote on it. Maybe they’ll do both.”

Here is a little something to ruin his afternoon, can you say margin of error? –
A poll released on Friday shows that the presidential race has swung several points in President Donald Trump’s direction after the debate in Cleveland on Tuesday night.
The first significant national poll conducted post-debate, by Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP, shows the race has sharply tightened after the chaotic first debate earlier this week. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democrat presidential nominee, has seen his lead cut down to just 2.6 percent in the wake of the debate.
Nationally, Biden only leads Trump by 2.6 percent—48.6 percent to 45.9 percent—in this survey, conducted entirely post-debate on Wednesday and Thursday, September 30 and October 1.
This post-debate poll represents a three-point swing Trump’s way after the debate—and an even more profound swing in the president’s direction since earlier in September.
While the poll showed Biden got better reviews from respondents for overall debate performance, more voters shifted to Trump after the debate than shifted to Biden.
The poll has a fairly large sample size, and a smaller margin of error—3.5 percent—meaning that Biden’s lead is inside that margin of error.

You may then also not be aware of how many of these projects have been literally torn down within a few decades of such abusive living. Here’s more –

I’d bet most govt housing projects have no more than 15% of the total population that are thugs, trouble-makers or drug dealers. But the rest of the folks living there are in fear of the thugs and have no ability to get rid of them or they are just indifferent as they have no experience of living in a better situation.
The Dems want to pack Dem voters into areas that are traditionally conservative and Republican. So they want to get rid of local control over zoning decisions.

Economic recovery fizzles:
President Donald Trump’s much heralded economic rebound is showing signs of fizzling out.
The U.S. added 661,000 jobs in September, a performance that ordinarily would be seen as stellar. But it was well below expectations for close to 1 million and represents a further slowdown in monthly job growth from the initial 4.8 million gained back in June and leaves the economy over 10 million short of restoring the 22 million jobs lost to the Covid-19 pandemic. The jobless rate dropped half a percentage point to 7.9%.

Learn to woke, learn to code
‘Last Jobs Report Before the Election’
The economy added 661,000 jobs in September, as the recovery continues.
“It’s the mark of a fairly healthy economic recovery when news reports express disappointment with a gain of 661,000 jobs in a month, but that’s where we are for this last jobs report before the November election. Economists had predicted 800,000 jobs in September and a headline unemployment rate of 8.2%. While the jobs numbers were below expectations — primarily because of, as CNBC reports, “a drop in government hiring” — the headline unemployment rate dropped to 7.9% from 8.4% in August. Back in February, which seems so very long ago, that rate was a historically low 3.5%.
Of the 22 million jobs lost in March and April’s economic bloodbath, the U.S. economy has recovered more than 11 million of them. But layoffs persist in some sectors. Just three companies account for 60,000 layoffs this week — Disney permanently laid off 28,000 theme-park workers, while American Airlines and United Airlines cut 32,000 jobs — and those losses aren’t included in the September report.
Democrats will, of course, attempt to hang a “sluggish” recovery around President Donald Trump’s neck. That might be fair enough in “the buck stops here” sense, but in reality it’s a gross distortion. The nation’s two biggest states, California and New York, are both run by Democrats and both remain significantly restricted economically.
The fallout in New York? According to state comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, half of New York City’s restaurants and bars are at risk of having to “close forever.” That could cost 150,000 jobs — job losses that would be the responsibility of Democrat NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, not the president. It is their orders, not his, that keep such establishments running at a fraction of capacity, if at all.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports that the COVID recession “is the most unequal in modern U.S. history” because unemployment has “overwhelmingly affected low-wage, minority workers.” Forgive us if we get the impression that blue-state governors and mayors find more political benefit in “unequal” job losses than they do in helping their own constituents by fully reopening the economy. These aren’t statistics or political pawns; they’re individuals’ livelihoods and futures.”

Daily Quotes. Last quote by Scott Adams is a good one.
Insight: “We cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure. Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity.” —Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
Food for thought: “Like so many ‘bombshell’ revelations, the Melania tapes only make the Trumps look better. Secret recordings of FLOTUS and the worst thing they capture is her complaining about Christmas decorations? Give me a break. What do you think secret tapes of Michelle would sound like?” —Matt Walsh
Friendly fire: “Interesting to see those who’ve spent the last few years screaming that Trump’s an uncaring, heartless empathy-devoid b*stard now spewing their gleeful joy that he & his wife have a deadly virus. They’re no better than the man they loathe.” —Piers Morgan
For the record I: “I’ve said it many times, and let me be clear again: I condemn the KKK. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys. I don’t know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing. But I condemn that.” —Donald Trump
For the record II: “I denounce white supremacy. I denounce anti-Semitism. I denounce racism. I denounce fascism. I denounce communism and any other -ism that is prejudiced toward people because of their race, religion, culture, tone of skin.” —Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio
Elitist contempt: “The people who were very transparent about, like, voting because they wanted a tax cut. Okay. But, like, you knew you also were voting for a racist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, transphobic human being who was going to have a lot of power to manifest those, like, hateful bigoted values into the world. So that may be what is your motivation.” —Chelsea Clinton
The BIG Lie: “We never needed nursing home beds because we always had hospital beds. So, it just never happened in New York, where we needed to say to a nursing home, ‘We need you to take this person even though they’re COVID-positive.’ It never happened.” —Andrew Cuomo (Fact check: Yes it did.)
And last… “Republicans believe in forgiveness for your actual sins and Democrats believe in hating you for imagined sins. That difference has emerged as the major theme in this country.” —Scott Adams

Scott O, it’s too painful to consider. Breaks my heart.
Did get a chuckle tonight. Always a silver lining. Today Trump did not take questions walking out to Marine One. He was airlifted! Mede-vac!!
“Chief White House correspondent and charlatan Jim Acosta complained after Trump departed that Trump “didn’t want to take any…questions” he and the rest of the assembled press wanted to hear.
Acosta remarked that Trump rarely wears a mask and then diagnosed Trump as having “looked tired” with “some fatigue in [his] eyes.”
Using only his naked eye, he added “Marine One was just taking a little extra time leaving the White House grounds this evening” and “[t]hat could also just be the way they were flying this evening, but it just — everything seemed to be moving a little slower this evening which, of course, is understandable, Wolf, given the situation that the President is in right now.”
Like his colleague Jeremy Diamond did earlier, he engaged in schadenfreude about the White House staff wearing masks and, after that, he applied a serious medical term for something he’s not an expert in: “Obviously this doesn’t happen very often for the President of the United States to essentially be airlifted or medevaced from from — from the White House to Walter Reed suggests this is a serious situation.”

Mistakes on the Nevada County Voter Guide. Staff quitting days before an all mail election. Our daughter received her voter guide at my wife’s friend’s house. Our daughter has not lived there for over eight years. Since she lived there, she has lived in Truckee, Netherlands, Reno (where she currently registered to vote), and very recently back in Nevada County. So potentially three ballots will be mailed out. One in Nevada County to the wrong address to someone who should no longer even be registered in California, one to her former residence in Nevada where she is currently registered to vote, and a third ballot when she votes provisionally because she doesn’t have the other ballots. Random ballots floating around invites fraud. Of course our daughter is going to re-register and would only vote once, but who’s to say someone else doesn’t submit a ballot on her behalf unbeknownst to her. And what’s even worse, Nevada County has been a mail-in jurisdiction for seven elections and Diaz is still mailing ballots to the wrong locations to people who should not be registered in Nevada County at all. Apparently California and Nevada are talking about registrations. This election will end up being a joke brought to you by Democrat policies seeking to delegitimize our democracy. Dim wits.

But anyway congratulations to Diaz for finally not mailing a ballot or voter guide to our house to the former residence who has not lived here for four years. We received their ballots three times. I guess when that tidbit of information was in The Union Diaz finally decided to change it. Incompetence abounds. Lol.

BT 12:17 – Well, yes – southern white girls need to be called out as well. Equality!
I stand corrected.
re “…all forms of discrimination and retaliation at Pinterest must stop.”
So – just what costumes will be allowed?

And BT – while I was typing my 10:59, you posted your 10:40.
Looking back at both, it does seem that great minds think alike!

GeorgeR: “this is embarrassing. Some people actually believe in the “expectations” and “predictions” of the experts and analysts who have the worst prognostication record of anyone; ”
Isn’t that the heart of the Leftist philosophy that has grown over the last 140 years or so?
The basic idea is that a wise man or committee can understand complex systems well enough to actively manage them. State monopolies can be run via top-down administration and bottom-up price controls. Equality can be forced via fiat. A universal utopia of fairness will erupt from madly twiddling the knobs of government force.
Oddly, you always end up with a poorly run bureaucracy, a small ruling class, and favelas. Maybe this time it’ll be different.
