Ruminations - 14mar16 (updated 20mar16)

George Rebane

We’ve reported what outfits like Pew Research have discovered about the mental acumen of millennials.  Today we hear from online news services targeting millennial audiences some characteristics of their aggregate behaviors that explain away why this generation is not our nation’s swiftest (Bernie call your office).  The Independent Journal Review is perhaps the leading such online news service, and they report that they must limit their news items to 30 seconds being the absolute max since web tracking shows that after that interval their viewership plunges if they attempt to deliver more content about an item.  In short, they confirm that the millennials have been raised to absorb a bite-sized world, and have the attention span slightly longer than that of a sparrow.

Most of America knows that the Democratic Party has moved markedly to the left, especially during the Obama years.  Among those who don’t are the informationally deprived local lefties all over the country for reasons that we have outlined here for some time – RR’s comment streams may serve as Exhibit A.  Today left-of-center Associated Press freely admits that this has been the case, and contributes to the polarization of our country.  Our gruberized progressives continue to believe that only the ideological migration of the Right is guilty of the divisive polarization of America.  This is another illustration that we conservetarians share literally nothing with the central planning and control chorus – no common history, no common world view, no common economics, …, in short, no common facts.

Has anyone noticed that the leading centers of decay and dissolution – be they cities, counties, or states - in our country are those which ‘enjoy’ dominant leftwing political leadership, and moreover, have been so blessed for the longest time.

[15mar16 update] Demand for charter schools continues to panic union schools.  Since charters outperform union schools on all counts, the socialist education professors are now offering butt stupid arguments and outright lies as to why parents should put their kids – especially in poor neighborhoods – back into union schools.  And true to form lamestream outlets like the NYT are right in there supporting the quackery.  Eva Moskowitz, CEO of Success Academy Charter Schools, explains all this in her ‘Orderliness in Schools – What a Concept’.  As they continue to oppose the spread of charter schools on all fronts, the progressives provide yet another piece of evidence that they are rapidly transiting from just ignorant to evil.  Et tu progressive?

[16mar16] ‘White – no degree’ is a category that exit polls stick voters into these days.  Since our socialist betters tell us that college should be free since it’s the new high school, maybe the category should be expanded to ‘White – no employable degree’ to include a more accurate tally of the larger cohort of people operationally uneducated.

We are told that 51% of Republicans “feel betrayed by their party”, given the performance of the GOP dominated Congress. From conversations with local Republicans, my sense is that it’s considerably higher than the bare majority.  In any case, such dissatisfaction goes a long way to explain Trump’s tidal wave of support.  And conservative Red State argues that Kasich’s Ohio victory was pyrrhic, and presents two scenarios why Trump will now be the ultimate nominee.  Its foreboding conclusion is that, absent an orange jump suit, Hillary will win in November.

The trans-astronomically complex game of GO is the latest to sport an AI as its new master. Korean grand champion Lee Se-dol lost 4-1 to Google’s AlphaGo in a match whose outcome the human confidently predicted he would sweep the machine 5-0.  He subsequently declared that the loss was not humanity’s, but simple due to his own inadequate mastery of the game.  America’s 90M+ un(der)employed will find little reason to celebrate this technological advance.

Latinos coming to America parallel progressives moving to our rural communities. Today we hear of an increased exodus to the US of progressive Puerto Ricans who have managed to screw up their own island’s economy.  Now they are overwhelmingly registering as Democrats to do the same here.  These are the latest of a stream of Latinos – legal Mexicans being the first – to immigrate from their own government-collapsed economies and then start supporting similar policies to grow the corrupt transfer-payment policies of our federal and state governments.  This is similar to our indigenous (read white) progressives who have already soiled their metropolises under liberal administrations, and now seek refuge in rural areas like Nevada County so they can do more of the same to the hinterlands.  Thus observes a conservetarian transplant from LA County ;-)

[17mar16 update]  On the matter of the Judge Garland nomination to SCOTUS, here is the Rebane Doctrine for the Republicans' handling of such politically difficult conundra.  Majority Leader McConnell simply declares immediately that should Hillary win, then the people have spoken and Obama's legacy is alive and well.  The Repubs will then in lame duck session examine and approve Obama's nomination.  There is no Republican hypocrisy involved in such an early and open declaration - all the past Democratic rules, including the 'Biden Rule' will have been followed in spirit and in their operational sense since Hillary presumably would renominate Garland should he not be confirmed before her term begins.  The only hypocrisy would be on Obama should he suddenly withdraw the nomination upon McConnell's announcement, or Hillary admitting that she would nominate someone else.  The key is to make that announcement immediately to defuse the issue and put the ball back in the Dem's court.  (BTW - I have emailed Sen McConnell this recommendation.)

[20mar16 update] Bernie Sanders, the communist, is also a conscientious objector, which is something the lamestream never mentions, and Fox News is quite afraid to disclose.  Bill Graves, Captain, USN (Ret), correctly asks “And if he were commander in chief, how do our career military folks function under the leadership of a man who has a serious moral or religious problem with what they have taken an oath to do?”  There is nothing wrong with being a conscientious objector in order to avoid having to kill the country’s enemies as your faith dictates.  But according to Rebane Doctrine no conscientious objector should ever be considered qualified for the office of POTUS.

And here is an observation by Ms Del Mar of Tiburon, and right out of my Rebane Doctrine – “Changing the Harvard Law School shield because hundreds of years ago its founder owned slaves is as absurd as Islamic State destroying the temple in Palmyra. History is history.” Think about it all you moralistic high-ground lefties; good luck.

The UK Telegraph explains how the mental acumen of millennials was diminished, why the Democrats are moving left, and our cities are decaying, the American dream is gone erased by an education system controlled by the left.

The US elite abandoned the American dream – Trump is the terrifying result

Where schoolchildren were once taught to love their country and its institutions, now they are imbued with national guilt

There was a time when Americans were taught with considerable rigour about how their government worked, and the sacred principles of their Constitution. It started with a primary school mantra: the government has three branches – the legislature makes the law, the executive enforces the law and the judiciary interprets the law. By the end of high school, it was proper civics, which involved full-blown participation in a political project of your choice – registering voters, lobbying for a Bill, working on a candidate’s campaign.

Alongside this, there was the study of the great documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution (“We the people…”), the Gettysburg Address (“government of the people, by the people, for the people”). All of this was seen as initiation into what you were told unreservedly was the greatest country on earth, created and sustained by the will of its own population. With knowledge came a sense of responsibility.

Well, that isn’t entirely gone. But it is countered relentlessly by what many Trump supporters would see as an urban intellectual elite – and particularly an educational establishment – that is obsessed with national guilt: over slavery, and then segregation, and the treatment of native Americans, and the various excesses of American militarism. However justified that self-criticism, it has tipped over into self-loathing and left a furious electorate feeling that this is no longer the country they called their own.

"Has anyone noticed that the leading centers of decay and dissolution – be they cities, counties, or states - in our country are those which ‘enjoy’ dominant leftwing political leadership, and moreover, have been so blessed for the longest time."

Yes....yes we have. And if I may draw your attention to the following......

LAWS ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy called the Gold King Mine Disaster in Colorado last August an “unfortunate accident.” Actually, the disaster, which polluted drinking water in three states and the Navajo Nation and turned the Animas River yellow for weeks, was anything but an accident.

The disaster was the direct result of EPA incompetence, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group’s Ethan Barton and TheDCNF Energy Group’s Michael Bastasch. The B&B Boys turned up an Aug.7, 2015, email from the Bureau of Land Management’s Brent Lewis to colleagues in which he said he was told by EPA:

“The EPA’s plan was to slowly drain and treat enough mine water in order to access the inner mine working and assess options for controlling its discharge. While removing small portions of the natural plug, the material catastrophically gave-way and released the mine water.”

The core of EPA’s incompetence was they knew the abandoned mine’s millions of gallons of toxic wastewater was under pressure, but they failed to have on hand the proper equipment to contain and direct the resulting flow when they unplugged it. But don’t expect there to be any consequences such as lost jobs for anybody at EPA because that’s not how the federal bureaucracy works.

Even so, this isn’t going to get any better for EPA because Barton and Bastasch have more stories on this massive screwup coming for the next several days. And it appears Rep. Rob Bishop, R-UT, and his staff investigators for the House Committee on Natural Resources have done some deep mining of their own. Stay tuned.

I'm sure the "Irish Fishwife" (no relation) currently running the EPA will somehow wrangle a promotion as a result.

On the Stop Trump Terrorists thread, RL Crabb repeats his "Party of Stupid" characterization... but I think this response needs to be in this "mental acumen of millenials" discussion.

"[I]ndividuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat (2–5 IQ points), and that individuals who supported the Republican Party in elections have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who supported the Democratic Party (2 IQ points). I reconcile these findings with the previous literature by showing that verbal intelligence is correlated with both socially and economically liberal beliefs (β = .10–.32). My findings suggest that higher intelligence among classically liberal Republicans compensates for lower intelligence among socially conservative Republicans".

It was linked by this article by Reason's science editor

In other words, among the young attending good colleges, Republicans are smarter. Not by much, but it's there.

Yes, there are stupid people voting Republican, but the Twit Generation and welfare Democrats aren't the brightest bulbs in the box, either. "Party of Stupid" is a bigoted and false slam that should have no place among members of the local newspaper's Editorial Board.

There have been 121 murders in Chicago so far this year. The propaganda media told me last weekend that Trump and his so called hate speech were the cause of the protester violence.

The judge was not amused with the pot growers attorney this morning. First trying to hang their hat on Federal law being mentioned was brushed aside by the judge who noted that weed is still illegal under federal law. The judge also questioned why the other point was not brought up last week at hearing since it could have and wants an explanation on Thursday.

[George Rebane]

"Since charters outperform union schools on all counts..."

Not even close, George. Many of the worst schools in this county are charters, including all of the Office of Education charters and the two progressive "Exploratory Learning" charters, the Grass Valley Charter School and it's companion high school, Sierra Academy of Exploratory Learning. My ears were burning at one District Board meeting regarding the continued sharing of the BRHS campus where BR parents and staff were detailing the coming and going at will by the SAEL students who weren't actually required to stay on campus unless they wanted to that day. La de da, la de da.

The one clear exception is the Ghiddoti charter high school, but it has largely hollowed out the academics at NUHS and the county would be better off were it a program within NUHS that didn't shut out students once applications were in; I know one family that moved into the area with a freshman aged kid just after the application deadline... guess they still have a chance for next year but I understand there's not much attrition.

What charters do is give parents an out when the school that ostensibly own their kids are not meeting their kids needs by the parent's judgment, and the parents are the ones that should have that power. However, they need good information about how the schools are doing and the state, the county and the school districts did a horrible job at making that good information accessible while the STAR/API/Similar Schools indexes were operational. A tragedy.

Perhaps the worst school in NorCal is the Yuba River Charter, the very first public Waldorf school in the country. It became the very bottom of its 100 Similar Schools Index when another Waldorf school near the coast was shut down. They take upper middle class students with college educated parents and turn them into below average performers... for this they are getting a brand spanking new building tailored to the mystical underpinnings of the Waldorf pedagogy.

[George Rebane]

Gregory 657pm - Yes, well perhaps that was too strong of a statement, but there are some remarkable tails in their performance distribution.

Walt @ 11:56 am. I have no problem with Moonbeam building a wall, just as long as he starts building it across California's southern border first. Heck, he can even call it The Brown Wall and cover it with plaques bearing his name and a large assortment of corporate logos. Have the labors' unions built it and pay 3 times prevailing wage for all I care. It would save California billions in social service expenditures in both the short and long term.

[fish]

A different take on "der Trumpenator" with a delicious swipe at that useless tool Schwarzenneger.

"A similar thing nearly happened in 2003, when the left tried its damnedest to convince California voters that Arnold Schwarzenegger was Hitler incarnate. The mainstream press portrayed Ah-nuld as a Nazi-loving rapist whose election would lead to Mexicans being sent to death camps as Einsatzgruppen squads turned Home Depot parking lots into killing fields of machine-gunned drywallers. But the right didn’t bite, and neither did Schwarzenegger, who watched his words, made few if any campaign missteps, and generally ran a clean, G-rated, inoffensive campaign, in which he pledged to be one of those jolly, likable, fiscally frugal Eisenhower Republicans that everyone can feel comfortable with.

And California ended up with one of its worst governors ever—a weak, deceitful, corrupt man of no principles who buckled at the first sign of defeat, freed Latino murderers in exchange for political favors, and left the state in economic shambles. A big-borrowing big spender who, after leaving office, straight-out admitted that his candidacy was a “joke” intended to “freak people out,” and that he ran for office with no idea what he would do if he actually won.

Make no mistake, that would most likely be Trump’s trajectory, too. Like the Austrian bodybuilder, Trump is a wealthy, high-profile loudmouth with no plan to govern and no principles to guide him. The major difference between the campaigns of the two egotistical publicity whores is that in 2003, leftist cries of “he’s a racist Nazi fascist” were met with a resounding “no he isn’t” from Schwarzenegger supporters. Today, those same charges are met by Trump fans with “so what if he is?” I’m not defending that response, but I’ll freely admit I find it fascinating. I chalk it up to fatigue. Too many people on the right are sick and tired of being policed on the issue of race, by the mainstream media, by SJWs in every corner of society, and by the brand protectors in their own party./blockquote>

[Paul Emery]

Thats funny Don. It was in response to one of your posts that that got in my information segment. I don't need no stinkin' tests. By the way how about the Yes on W argumente hiding under the Federal skirts on MJ issues. That view will be a dull thud to those on this blog which are supporters of States rights.

" No cultivation is allowed under federal law, which would make it illegal to grow in Nevada County under Measure W. "

[Don Bessee]

Weed is illegal in case anyone missed it, 215 is an affirmative defense in criminal court as long as you have a Dr. issued recommendation. Going forward that DR. has to be your recommending physician as defined by O care because of AB266. Decriminalization in CA makes a small possession a misdemeanor but it is and continues to be illegal and still can be a felony in a number of circumstances. That sham argument is just another obfuscation by the growers mouth pieces.
The judge blew that game up at the last hearing where the TRO was denied. There is no civil right to weed says the CA supreme court. Lets stop pretending the state of the law is not what it is in the real world.

[Paul Emery]

So you support Federal law over States Rights in this matter.

Hard to say, he strikes me as someone that everyone writes a story for in their head. I rather like Neil deGrasse Tyson's notion that the anti-Trump movement is really anti-Trump supporters. The BLM/La Raza/Occupy/MoveOn/Soros groups simply can't stand to even see a group of working class whites gathered in one spot, they just know they're up to something.

With the possible exception of a sitting (or ex-) VP, I can't say that anybody who takes that office is prepared for it, whether you are a freshman Senator from Illinois or a former 5 star general. Any belief system they have will get sliced and diced by reality pretty quickly.

My working theory is that Trump is largely an unknown and that Hillary is likely to be mentally ill. I'm not saying the latter to punish her for being a bit irritating on stage, but from 20+ years of books written by ex White House and other federal staff. Luckily the system as it stands can deal with somewhat unhinged personalities in the CEO slot.

Trump may just win, look around, wonder what all the fuss was about, and go through the motions for four years. I can't imagine him being a two termer.

Schwarzenegger was a guy who needed to be liked so when his ballot proposals for fixing some of Californias budget and pensions woes went down in flames he just crawled back into his shell and worked the late night talk show circuit.

Twitter Facial Analysis Reveals Demographics of Presidential Campaign Followers.

An interesting angle is the gender balance of Clinton’s followers. While Clinton enjoys substantial female support among politicians, Wu and co say there is good evidence that her support among average Democratic women has fallen sharply. . . .

The interesting observation from Scott Adams is that Hillary will start getting hammered on 'stamina'. Partly due to the maleness of the word and partly because she has obvious (and somewhat secret) health problems. It's not a bad weak spot to start chiseling at. I'll keep an eye out and see if he's right.

She's been darned lucky, given the near universal presence of hand video cameras (ie. smart phones), that she hasn't been caught on video doing one of her near-crazy fits to subordinates that she's famous for. Just one of those would probably be a serious problem.

I wonder how Trump's 'smug face' plays to female voters. They should probably wire up a room full of them and flash his picture up with various poses.

The ability to analyze both individual and groups gets better over time, and the individuals/groups never grow any wiser. It's a recipe for manipulation.

[Bill Toze]

Vicious rumor (or news story a couple weeks back from some backstage eyewitness just off the podium) from the first two or so Dem debates says Hillary's bathroom break tardiness was not due to the distance to the lavatory and not because it takes longer to change her Depends than the males on the stage. Nope.
They say she was backstage sitting in a chair recovering from a dizzy spell after freshening up. Almost made it back to the podium but needed a chair....but she caught a lucky break by not making it back it on time. Imagine My Gal having a dizzy spell on stage in front of all of God's Green Earth and a host of celestial beings after the commerical break?? Oh my, that would have been unsightly.
