I think some Democrats don't want Biden to be in the race. They want more fanatic or better socialists just to destroy the American dream and in the process make their own money quadrupled.

Narrative...

Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann is suing NBCUniversal for a whopping $275 million over the media coverage he received earlier this year, his lawyer said.

Sandmann was at the center of a viral controversy back in January, alongside reports suggesting that he and his classmates had initiated a confrontation with Native American elder Nathan Phillips outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Subsequent reporting and video evidence contradicted that version of events.

“NBCUniversal created a false narrative by portraying the ‘confrontation’ as a ‘hate crime’ committed by Nicholas,” the lawsuit read, saying Sandmann was "an easy target for NBCUniversal to advance its anti-Trump agenda because he was a 16-year-old white, Catholic student who had attended the Right to Life March that day and was wearing a MAGA cap at the time of the incident which he had purchased earlier in the day as a souvenir.”

This marks the third major lawusit Sandmann's legal team has launched. The team is also suing The Washington Post for $250 million as well as CNN for $275 million. McMurty previously suggested that The Associated Press and HBO could face simiilar lawsuit.

Change...

Nearly two-thirds of Democratic voters said they would be open to changing their minds about who they support in the party's 2020 primaries, according to a new poll.

In a CNN survey released Tuesday, 64 percent of Democrats and likely Democrats who had selected a favorite presidential candidate said it is possible they might change their mind. Thirty-six percent said they "definitely support" their top choice.

The field of 2020 has grown to 21 Democratic presidential candidates. Biden has consistently led the field, and a new poll puts him 24 points ahead of his nearest challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) has seen a rise in popularity in recent weeks, often polling in third place, while Harris, who was once considered a front-runner has been falling recently.

Voting for anyone who can beat Trump is a self defeating idea. Vote for someone who can improve the lives of the American people, create jobs, and avoid starting war in the Middle East. Someone who is realistic and not just throwing things in the air. Just a thought.

For Some...

The idea of Medicare for all needs a second look at the proposal that sound grat from a distance, while looking inside may not be that great.

The transition to a plan like the one Sen. Bernie Sanders has proposed would be enormously expensive, more than $30 trillion over a 10-year period by some estimates.

Ban private insurance would displace nearly 177 million people from their health insurance plans, including over 156 million from employer-based health insurance  which for many employees is the reason they took the job in the first place.

And for employers, health insurance provides a tax deduction, which is an incentive for stretching the budget and hiring. A transition to Medicare for All would be a definite job killer, affecting millions more in addition to the close to 2 million health care workers who would be displaced from their jobs in the transition.

Hospitals make more money on private health insurance, so a transition to 100% government-based insurance would mean less income for hospitals  income frequently diverted to support research and academics. 

Even if the end result is less expensive, because of government-negotiated prices, it will also be less supportive of medical centers.

Eating rice may help prevent obesity, research suggests. Experts found that people following a Japanese or Asian-style diet based on rice were less likely to be obese than those living in countries where rice consumption was low.

In the UK, people were found to consume just 19g of rice a day, below dozens of other countries including Canada, Spain and the US.

The researchers calculated that even a modest increase in rice consumption of 50g per day per person could reduce the worldwide prevalence of obesity by 1%.

The researcher said: “The observed associations suggest that the obesity rate is low in countries that eat rice as a staple food.

Rice is low fat, it’s fiber, nutrients and plant compounds found in whole grains may increase feelings of fullness and prevent overeating.”

The authors concluded: “The prevalence of obesity was significantly lower in the countries with higher rice supply even after controlling for lifestyle and socioeconomic indicators.”

We have known for centuries that far eastern populations tend to be slimmer than in the west because rice is a staple food, but few obesity specialists may have appreciated.

The message is simple, put me in the White House and I'll tax the people who we hate. What to do with the money is very simple, waste it  on projects that helps few who can donate to my campaign down the road. Keep the cycle going.  Just a thought.
