35 people who didn't get the memo braved -18F to vote for Chris Crispy Creme yesterday in Iowa, even though he had already dropped out
The 108k who turned out under those conditions are a legitimate index of the proportional enthusiasm which exists.
Vivek got fewer than 9k votes and promptly, and properly, dropped out.
Change my mind.
Can you imagine working for Drudge and lifting this particular typo verbatim and reproducing it for a headline?
C'mon man.
That guy's brain emits artic temperatures.
Oh for Pete's sake, the low temperature in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Feb 1, 2016 was +28F
Only 14.4% of registered Republicans participated...
. . . in 2016, some 187,000 people cast ballots, a record high equating to 29% of registered Republicans.
Drudge: Just updated but still misspelled lol
And things were so boring lately. I'm freezing to death in my cardboard box but this imbecile keeps me moving just enough to stay alive.
The world is drunk on debt: Global debt at all levels reached $307 trillion in 3Q2023
IIF CEO Tim Adams sounded the alarm on rising levels of debt while
speaking to CNBC’s Silvia Amaro at the World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland. ... "We need sobriety . . .."
The global banking industry’s premier trade group said late last year that worldwide debt climbed to a record of $307.4 trillion in the third quarter of 2023, with a substantial increase in both high-income countries and emerging markets.
The IIF said it expected global debt to reach $310 trillion by the end of 2023, warning that elections in more than 50 countries and regions this year could usher in a shift toward populism that brings with it still-higher debt levels.

Ridiculous: It was -18F in Iowa yesterday, you'd stay home too
SITTING OUT '24? CAUCUS TURNOUT MUCH LOWER THAN EXPECTED...
Old Republicans in Iowa yesterday: Why should I bother to go, Trump's just going to win anyway.
That'h eathy for you to thay:
Stupid is as stupid does.
smdh
We're $34 trillion in debt, so Congress unites to spend $70 billion more we don't have on "the children" and on "small business" because it's an election year
You have the government you deserve.
Story here.
IA stands for Ignorant Actually
I mean, I get it. Republicans are going to vote for Trump because he's been treated very badly by this country. And I don't blame them. He has been.
But it is perilous to assume that non-Republicans share this animus in enough numbers for Trump to wrest control of the election in November. North of 40% of Republicans in Iowa don't share it enough to vote for their ex-president. Biden is a horrible alternative, but it still looks to me like we're going to get more of him, good and hard.
Meanwhile, of Ron DeSantis:
Dilatory fortune plays the jilt
With the brave, noble, honest, gallant man,
To throw herself away on fools and knaves.
-- Thomas Otway (1652-1685)
This has got to be a record for Drudge lol
The theory here is that spell-check is disabled in all-caps, immortalizing ignorance, inattention, and sloth.

Another CR lol: They may have to do this over and over until the election because the Republican majority in the US House is now so razor thin
Congressional leaders reach short-term spending deal to keep government open until March
The deal would keep the government funded until March, buying
legislators more time to craft longer-term, agency-specific spending
bills, following the agreement last weekend to set the overall spending level for fiscal year 2024 at $1.59 trillion. ...
The short-term bill, known as a continuing resolution or “CR,” will need to pass both the House and Senate before Friday at 11:59 p.m. to avoid a partial government shutdown.
Reuters got it right, CNBC green lunatics try to soften the blow: "Rental giant Hertz dumps EVs, including Teslas, for gas cars"
Jan 11 (Reuters) - Rental firm Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ.O) is selling about 20,000 electric vehicles, including Teslas, from its U.S. fleet about two years after a deal with the automaker to offer its vehicles for rent, in another sign that EV demand has cooled.
Hertz will instead opt for gas-powered vehicles, it said on Thursday, citing higher expenses related to collision and damage for EVs even though it had aimed to convert 25% of its fleet to electric by 2024 end.

Hertz makes ‘agile’ decision to shift strategy and sell EVs, Teslas
American wing of the Houthi rebels reprises November attack on the White House, this time destroys new barrier fence
It's going to be a long hot summer in Washington DC if this is what Joe Biden's going to allow in the dead of winter.
No one was arrested for this destruction, just as no one was arrested last time for damage done to the White House gate.
Delaying his response to the Houthis for months of their Red Sea attacks until last week only encouraged them to keep it up. Joe Biden's doing the same with these malcontents.
Meanwhile Joe Biden continues to hunt down leisurely non-violent Jan 6ers and put them in the slammer.
November 2023:
January 2024:
Blonde Joy Reid sees herself as part of the elite fair-haired 2% of the US population, black folks as "Palestinians" lol
Joy wants to be white like Antifa.
