I AM GOING TO TRY TO GO BACK TO PRESENTING AT LEAST 6 TO 8 ARTICLES A DAY AS I DID BEFORE MY FALL IN MARCH OF 2019. I WILL NOT SACRIFICE SLEEP TO DO IT, THOUGH, BECAUSE THAT HABIT MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF MY WEAKENED CONDITION AT THE TIME. MY NEW RESOLUTION IS GOING TO BE MODERATION, EXCEPT IN POLITICS.
ON THE NEVADA CAUCUSES, BERNIE DONE IT AGAIN!! BY THE WAY, THERE IS UPDATE AFTER
UPDATE ON A NUMBER OF INTERESTING SUBJECTS AT THIS SITE, BUT I WILL LEAVE IT UP
TO THE READER TO SEEK IT ALL OUT. AFTER ALL, BERNIE HAS ALREADY MOVED ON TO CALIFORNIA,
ACCORDING TO YESTERDAY’S NBC ARTICLE. I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT HE IS FOCUSING ON
UNITY. EVEN SO, THE STRONGER HE IS, THE BETTER HIS POSITION IN THAT UNITY WILL
BE. HE WILL NEED TO NEGOTIATE TO GET THE NOMINATION, I’M SURE.
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THERE WAS TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY WITH
THEIR “HOTLINE” APP IN NEVADA SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED IN IOWA, AND BUTTIGIEG IS
CLAIMING “IRREGULARITIES.” I WOULDN'T DOUBT IT. NBC, THOUGH, HAS DECLARED BERNIE THE VICTOR.
THERE
HAS BEEN SOME TALK OF BANNING CAUCUSES IN THE FUTURE, AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE
A STEP IN THE DIRECTION OF TAKING OUR ELECTIONS SERIOUSLY, RATHER THAN AS A “WINNER
TAKE ALL” ROUGH SPORT. CHAOS IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO CONDUCT AN ELECTION. MARKED
PAPER BALLOTS IS THE WAY TO GO.

Live Blog / Nevada caucuses live updates: Bernie Sanders
wins Nevada Democratic caucuses
The candidates — not including Mike Bloomberg, who is not
on the ballot — competed for the state's 36 pledged delegates.

GRAPHIC ART -- The Nevada caucuses will take place on Feb.
22, 2020. Chelsea Stahl
Bernie Sanders was the winner of Saturday's Nevada
caucuses, according to an NBC News projection.
Saturday's caucuses followed a fiery debate among the
candidates earlier in the week in which Sanders, Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren
challenged former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg on sexism and race and Amy
Klobuchar sparred with Pete Buttigieg over their political experience.
Nevada is the first Western state in the Democratic
presidential primary following New Hampshire and the chaos that was the Iowa
caucuses.
Read the latest updates:
Sanders touts 'multi-generational and multi-racial
coalition' in victory speech; read NBC News' analysis of his win.
Buttigieg rips Sanders, while Biden declares a comeback.
Warren says she's in the race "to make change"; Klobuchar and Steyer
sound optimistic notes in remarks to supporters.
Hotline jams caused some reporting delays, and some caucus
sites faced volunteer shortages.

far.

Sanders focuses on unity after Nevada win
Sanders focused on unity today during a rally in Houston
one day after winning the Nevada Caucus by what appears to be a considerable
margin.
"Understand that we are in this together,"
Sanders said. "There is no family in America, no family, you think you're
alone— you're not. There's no family in America that does not have its share of
problems, trust me, alright? You think you're the only family, you're not.
Every family has a problem and what America must be is an understanding that my
family has got to care about your family. Your family has got to care about my
family. And that as human beings we share a common humanity that we are in
this together."
Despite 2020 Democratic candidates stepping up their
attacks on Sanders, he, for the most part, did not take the bait. Sanders
instead went off on Trump, and attacked Bloomberg for "buying the
election."

'Needed It': Video Of Bernie Sanders Slamming Table Takes
Internet By Storm
US NEWS
Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary earlier this
week and an internet user edited a mashup video featuring the US Senator
slamming a coffee table.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders recently
won the New Hampshire primary and an internet user edited a mashup video
featuring the United States Senator bang a coffee table with a fist. The
Twitter user used a clip of comedian James Adomian dressed as the Democratic
presidential candidate in November for a sketch in which he is actually
interviewed by the 78-year-old. At one point in the skit, the actual Sanders
pretended to slam a coffee table with his fist. This is an exact moment which
has been edited by the Twitter user in repeat with background music of New
Order’s single Blue Monday and said he will post it at every “big win” of
Sanders.

Republic TV is an Indian television news channel.
Co-founded by Arnab Goswami (former editor-in-chief of
Times Now), the channel was launched on 6 May 2017 as a free-to-air channel.
The venture was primarily funded, among others, by co-founder Rajeev
Chandrasekhar (then an independent legislator from the right-wing National
Democratic Alliance) through his company Asianet News; Goswami became the
majority owner on 6 May 2019, after Chandrasekhar pared his stake.[1]
Critical reception has been negative. It has been accused
of practicing biased reporting in favor of the BJP and propagating fake
news[2]. It has also been convicted of breaching TRAI and NBSA rules[3][4],
leading to censures and subject to a high-profile defamation case by INC Lok
Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor[5][6][7].

point of view you won't get from legacy media and old left-right opinion magazines.
That proposition was the subject of a November 5, 2019,
debate hosted by the Soho Forum, a monthly debate series sponsored by
Reason. Arguing in favor of the resolution was Richard D. Wolff, an
economist at the University of Massachusetts and the author, most recently, of
Understanding Marxism. Taking the other side was former Barron's economics
editor Gene Epstein, who is also the Soho Forum's co-founder and director.
Reason's Nick Gillespie served as moderator.
It was an Oxford-style debate, in which the audience
votes on the resolution at the beginning and end of the event; the side that
gains the most ground is victorious. It was a packed house, with about
450 people in attendance. The pre-debate vote found that 25 percent of
the audience agreed that socialism was preferable to capitalism, 49.5 percent
picked capitalism as the better system, and 25.5 percent were undecided.
Despite a technical problem at the event itself, the Soho Forum was able to
recover the final vote totals, which saw support for socialism drop by half
a percentage point and support for capitalism increase to 71 percent.

TALK TOGETHER SERIOUSLY ABOUT SERIOUS ISSUES, BERNIE SANDERS AND ROBERT REICH, WITH
A LITTLE TIME FOR JANE SANDERS, WHOM BERNIE SOMETIMES CALLS “THE BRAINS.” ONE
REPORTER ASKED HIM A QUESTION AND HE SAID HE’D HAVE TO TALK IT OVER WITH HIS
WIFE. THE PUNDIT ASKED WHY, AND HE SAID “BECAUSE SHE’S BEAUTIFUL.” I THINK THAT’S
A SWEET WAY OF REFUSING TO ANSWER AN IMPERTINENT QUESTION.

Are Elites Really Making the World a Better Place?

In “Winners Take All:
The Elite Charade of Changing the World,” Anand Giridharadas compels us to take
a deeper look at elite leaders, their institutions, and their initiatives to
make the world a better place. “In the very era in which elites have done so
much to help, they have continued to hoard the overwhelming share of progress,
the average American’s life has scarcely improved, and virtually all of the
nation’s institutions, with the exception of the military, have lost the
public’s trust.”
Today's elites are
some of the more socially concerned individuals in history. Yet, according to
Giridharadas, while their philanthropic missions may attempt to reform the root
causes of unjust systems, many elite initiatives serve only to maintain the
very power structures they claim they want to fix. So, who really benefits? To what extent are the elite
working to create real progress and systemic change for people and communities?
Anand Giridharadas was
a foreign correspondent and columnist for the The New York Times and currently
teaches journalism at New York University. He joins us for an in-depth
discussion on elite leaders, how their philanthropic efforts preserve the
unjust status quo, and how communities might work together to create a more
participatory democracy.
