Swelled...

Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced that he is running for president in 2020, joining an already-crowded Democratic field.  

Veggies...

A major study released in 2010 that tracked the eating habits of 478,000, monitored for an average of nearly nine years. Europeans suggests consuming lots of fruits and vegetables has some effect on preventing cancer.

Eating more vegetables was associated with a small but statistically significant reduction in cancer risk. This translates into a 4 percent lower risk of cancer for every two extra servings of vegetables a day a person eats.

Eating veggies and fruits will also improve your heart health. That’s great when one remembers heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., accounting for almost 1 in every 4 deaths and affecting significantly more men than women.

There’s also evidence that certain vegetables contain potent, cancer-fighting compounds.  For example, lycopene from tomatoes may lower prostate cancer risk.

Another study also suggested a potentially higher anticancer benefit of eating vegetables for people who regularly drink alcohol. Other studies do confirm that high vegetable consumption is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

What these separate studies say is eat more fruits and vegetables to stay healthy.

Run...

In the Morning Consult survey released, Biden held the support of 32 percent of voters who intend to participate in the Democratic primaries. 

The former vice president, who has not officially announced a bid but is widely expected to enter the race, holds a 9-point lead over his closest competitor, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Biden's entrance to the 2020 race will deflate the others who have nothing to offer except unrealistic schemes to make a name for oneself.  

Economy...

The Democrats have ideas of Spending hundred of billions of dollars on something.  This may kill the Golden Goose, the economy.

Not to worry about it though, its all just talk. Everyone is trying to make a name for oneself.  Just a thought.

Sabotage ..

The Democratic Party is heading to electoral hell with its talk of socialism and reparations. Given, the party is determined to give Donald Trump a fair shot at re-election by sabotaging itself.

In fact, it's veering so far to the left it could lose an election in 1950s Bulgaria.

Democratic socialist ideas appear to be making significant headway in the party. The Democratic part is fine, the socialism part is not.

It suggests a massive government intrusion in the economy that has not worked elsewhere.

The American people have shown they want nothing to do with socialism. This, in fact, is one of the original meanings of the phrase "American exceptionalism."
Americans are not about to embrace socialism, they certainly are not about to support reparations.

Export...

Western Europe’s biggest petroleum producer is falling out of love with oil.

To the dismay of the nation’s powerful oil industry and its worker unions, the opposition Labor Party over the weekend decided to withdraw its support for oil exploration offshore the sensitive Lofoten islands in Norway’s Arctic, creating a solid majority in parliament to keep the area off limits for drilling.

The dramatic shift by Norway’s biggest party is a significant blow to the support the oil industry has enjoyed, and could signal that the Scandinavian nation is coming closer to the end of an era that made it one of the world’s most affluent.

Oil companies led by state-controlled Equinor ASA, the biggest Norwegian producer, have said that gaining access to Lofoten is key if the country wants to maintain production as resources are being depleted. Estimates suggest that 1 billion to 3 billion barrels could be hiding off the archipelago, which is also considered a natural wonder.

This will cause a major problem in the export economy. And will trickle down to all. Just a thought.

Capture...

Fundraising and polls show that many Democrats think the best answer to an angry old white guy with crazy hair, New York accent and flair for demagoguery is, well, another angry old white guy with crazy hair, New York accent and flair for demagoguery. 

His campaign announced a haul of $18.2 million in the first quarter from 525,000 individual contributors. The early favorite Warren (Mass.), has floundered in both money and popularity.

And undeclared front-runner Biden now looks vulnerable to accusations he inappropriately touched women, kicked off by a prominent Sanders 2016 backer who served on the board of the Sanders political group.

Sanders himself remains untouchable, in a Trumpian way. Claims of mistreatment by male staffers from women who worked on his 2016 campaign. His resistance to releasing his tax returns. The idea that Democrats need a unifying figure to lure disaffected Trump voters in key states.

Sanders isn’t Trump  but their styles are similar: shouting, unsmiling, anti-establishment and anti-media, absolutely convinced of their own correctness, attacking boogeymen (the “1 percent” and CEOs in Sanders’s case, vs immigrants), offering impractical promises with vague details, lacking nuance and nostalgic for the past.

Yeccch...

A look at the Democratic line of candidates for the 2020, and you can see how disappointing the group is. Everyone is going extreme into Free stuff but who is going to pay for it?

Make no mistake about it, these folks know that their plans and suggestions, is just sound bytes. They may talk about it but don't believe it.

If you desire to be moderate, go some place else. We are Democrats.

Shortfall...

Oil held gains after rising to the highest in more than four months in London as ongoing tensions in Libya added to concerns over supply.

Brent futures added as much as 0.7 percent, approaching $71 a barrel. Libya’s internationally-recognized government vowed to counterattack against forces loyal to strongman Khalifa Haftar which are trying to enter the capital Tripoli. 

Crude prices have continued to climb after their strongest quarter in almost a decade as OPEC and its allies curb output while economic and political crises squeeze supplies from member nations Venezuela and Iran. An escalation of the conflict in Libya, which pumped 1.1 million barrels of crude a day last month, risks creating a supply shortfall.

You broke it you bought it. What we did in Libya created more chaos and destruction than we imagined.
