    Good mornin’, and happy Monday! I have recovered my sanity after listening to the next crop of democrat “foreign policy” experts. That was fun. I found something this morning that looks familiar, but a bit more modern. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee!

    Lundi Gras Today, translated to Fat Monday. Parades and festivities continue. Grey and slightly windy, but expected to be nice later. Everywhere outside Louisiana it is just plain Monday.

    Mornin’ All. It is overcast and cold, as usual. We got a smidgen of snow, but it melted by evening yesterday. It is supposed to snow again early tomorrow morning, but I won’t get out a sled.

    Hope you all have good weather and a nice day.

      Mornin’ mom! It’s in the 50’s today, and enough snow has melted so that we can see patches of grass. Expecting a couple of rain days this week, and we won’t see freezing temps again until Friday night.

    Interesting early analysis of the 2026 and 2028 elections.

    Who Leads In 2028 Presidential Race And In 2026 Midterm Elections? I&I/TIPP Poll

    There’s also another signal issue involved in the upcoming elections, one that directly affects the Democratic Party: Americans believe it has gone too far to the left.

    “You know, there used to be a lot of conservative Democrats,” CNN senior election data analyst Harry Enten said. “Right back in 1999, 26% of Democrats self-identified as conservative. Just 5% said that they were very liberal. It was a smidgen, a smidgen, a smidgen. Now that far left has gained considerably in power. Look at this. Now we’re talking about a fifth of Democrats, 21% say they’re very liberal. That conservative part of the Democratic Party, adios amigos, goodbye, just 8%.”

    What’s more, 33% of Democrats and 42% of Democrats under 35 now call themselves Democratic Socialists.

    That could be enough to scare off independent voters and fence-sitters come election time. As the I&I/TIPP data show, 18% of voters self identify as “conservative,” while 16% call themselves “liberal” and a big plurality of 43% see themselves as “moderate.” America is not a liberal majority nation, not even close, which could be big trouble for Democrats.
