Handouts...

Bernie Sanders released a fact sheet explaining that he’d pay for his sweeping new government programs through new taxes and massive lawsuits, as well as by slashing spending on the military, among other methods.

The effort sought to head off complaints from Republicans and some rival Democrats that his plans were economically unrealistic, especially after a head-turning CBS News interview in which the frustrated Vermont senator said he couldn’t “rattle off to you every nickle and every dime” about his proposed expenditures.

However, the fact sheet highlighted for the first time that many of Sanders’ expected cost-saving measures relied heavily on conjecture. For example, Sanders’ projections stated without providing details that his Green New Deal plan would create “20 million new jobs,” thus ensuring $2.3 trillion in “new income tax revenue.”

I''ll tax the hill out of everybody and four years from now, we will not have anybody else to tax nor any body with a job. Good luck to you all.

Vallow...

According to a statement released by the Kauai Police Department, Lori Vallow was arrested on a warrant issued by Madison County, Idaho.

She is accused of multiple offenses, including desertion and nonsupport of dependent children, resisting or obstructing officers, criminal solicitation to commit a crime, and contempt of court.

Lori's children, Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan, were last seen in September 2019. Their disappearances have uncovered a complicated sequence of events related to Lori and Chad Daybell, including details surrounding the death of Vallow's former husband, Charles Vallow, details surrounding the death and subsequent burial of Daybell's former wife, Tammy, and allegations of cult membership.

In late January, authorities in Idaho say a child protection action was filed on behalf of JJ and Tylee, and that a court has ordered Vallow to physically produce the two children to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare in Rexburg within five days of being served with the order. No results.

Nasty Liz...

The Democrats are tearing each other apart. Good strategy since they clearly announced we want to replace Trump in the White House.

What are you going to do for the people?

We will tax the hill out of you all and we will be in the White House. We will satisfy CNN and NBC whose information are anti Trump regardless.      Just a thought.

Harve...

Jurors in Harvey Weinstein's trial sent the court 10 notes over four days of deliberations -- including one note suggesting they may be deadlocked on the two most serious charges.

Judge James Burke asked jurors Friday to try to render verdicts on all counts, something that requires a unanimous vote on each. They deliberated another half hour before breaking until Monday.

Jurors asked Burke whether they could fail to reach a unanimous verdict on Count 1 and/or Count 3 while agreeing on other counts.

Weinstein, 67, is charged with first-degree criminal sexual act, first-degree rape, third-degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault. The charges are primarily based on Haley's testimony that Weinstein forced oral sex on her in 2006 and Mann's testimony that he raped her in 2013 during what she described as an abusive relationship.

Rich guy, women around, years later, the details became sketchy. But the Media has so much hate for the guy, the accusations are repeated all day long and here we are. Just a thought.

Front...

Sen. Bernie Sanders said Friday that his campaign was briefed about Russian efforts to help his presidential campaign, intensifying concerns about the Kremlin's role in the US presidential race.

It remains unclear how Russia is attempting to help Sanders, according to The Washington Post, which first reported the effort. The revelation comes a day after it was reported that the US intelligence community believes Moscow is taking steps to help President Donald Trump win and at a time when Sanders is emerging as the Democratic front-runner.

Speaking to reporters in Bakersfield, California, Friday afternoon, Sanders confirmed that his campaign was briefed about the Kremlin's efforts about a month ago and condemned Russia's attempts to interfere in US elections. The Vermont senator speculated that the news broke on Friday afternoon in order to have an impact on Saturday's Nevada caucuses, in which he is a leading candidate.

Disperate...

Democrats  want a presidential nominee who can defeat President Donald Trump. But after nine series of debates, Democratic voters still don't know who that candidate is.

Former Vice President Joe Biden held the honor for many months but slipped precipitously after poor performances in Iowa and New Hampshire's contests and amid lackluster fundraising.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is moving from movement candidate to most-electable candidate, but many in the party worry Sanders, if nominated, would lose the presidency and take the House down with him. In addition, Sanders is not a Democrat.

Billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg has seen meteoric rises in polls after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on ads, but that was before he got verbally body slammed at Wednesday night's debate by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

The contentious, and at times chaotic, debate underscored the upheaval in a party that hasn't settled on a vision for its future, with a single exception – a world that does not have Trump in a decision-making role.

Dvele...

California is the first state to require all new homes to have rooftop solar systems. Adding residential battery storage will help make Dvele homes more competitive in a crowded market.

Dvele has developed a new building envelope with a thermal barrier that ensures any heating or cooling produced in the house stays in the house, according to Curbed.  The company claims its homes need 84% less energy per square foot to operate than a conventional stick built home, which means running totally on solar power is actually achievable.

The company has two primary goals  efficiency and sustainability. Despite having many floor plans and styles to choose from, most of their homes use common modules, which keeps design and construction costs low. It also reduces the amount of waste created and permits the usage of leftover materials in other modules.

Tragic...

There are only two tragedies in life: 

one is not getting what one wants, 

and the other is getting it.

Philly...

A former heroin addict who dresses like Jesus Christ and preaches in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was kicked out of a Roman Catholic cathedral and cited for trespassing.

Michael Grant, commonly known as “Philly Jesus,” was removed from an installation service for Archbishop Nelson Perez at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul on Tuesday.

Law enforcement removed Grant from the ceremony and he was eventually given a $25 citation for trespassing at the service and released from custody shortly after being detained.

“I said, ‘I’m a priest.’ He said, ‘You’re not a Roman Catholic priest.’ I’m a universal priest,” Grant told NBC's affiliate in Philadelphia. “I just kept standing my ground … I brought up my religious rights,” he added, explaining that police “dragged me out like head first through the double doors.”
