Observation

The only two TV networks that covered live President Trump's recent Tampa, Florida rally were Fox News and CSPAN. The over-the-air TV networks, MSMBC and CN did not cover this rally ... so why were many of these media cameras there?  And why was CNN's chief provocateur, Jim Acosta,  quite  visibly present? Hmm?

Binary World

There are many things in life that are of a binary nature. Generally one either loves cilantro or one hates it. You either detest the thought of mayonnaise or you savor it. You can't get enough of McDonald's breakfast or you would need to be starving to death to entertain the thought of its Sausage McMuffin. And, of course, politics is often a binary choice. Watching CSPAN this morning exemplified this. Just about everyone calling in on the "independent line" was either a rabid liberal or a conservative. The "golden middle" has become a shrinking compromise.

And, unfortunately, the more radical the support or anathema there is toward an issue, the likelier it is adorated or deep-sixed -- respect for the American flag, women's "reproductive rights," smoking (except doobies), Confederate hero's statues, etc. George Soros and other bubble-headed billionaires believe that their way is "the way" ... and are willing to bribe others generously to support it ... witness Tom Steyer's recent vicious and unprecedented anti-Trump TV commercial ... see: Real Clear Politics Video.

I love cilantro ... and pray to Obama nightly that the haters don't outlaw this pleasure of mine and many other's.

Savant Idiot

On CSPAN this morning there was a MIT professor, Jason Pontin, espousing on the 10 breakthrough technical developments occurring today ... see: CSPAN Video. He was quite knowledgeable and interesting until he got around to global warming. He then said that there are 40 parts per million of carbon in our atmosphere (correct, if he means carbon dioxide by volume ... actually just carbon would be less). Then he said something that had me shouting at the TV. He said that he would bet all the money in his pocket that, in his lifetime, all this carbon would be removed from our air! This, of course,would mean that we would not have any plants since this carbon dioxide is what they feed on. No plants means no sustenance for animals ... for plants are the basis of all life ... and thus no MIT professor.

And then no one to either pay or collect his idiotic bet.
