1. WSJ: Not Even Socialists Believe in Socialism Anymore

Look south before you vote, North Americans.

Polls say that many New Hampshire voters are selecting Sen. Bernie Sanders today for the Democratic presidential nomination. Mr. Sanders calls himself a “democratic socialist.”
2. But Granite Staters who haven’t yet voted and citizens in upcoming primary states should note the latest news from a socialist state where the regime also spoke of democracy and originally came to power via the ballot box.
3. Even socialism’s leading practitioner in the country now acknowledges that private investment is the only way to save a critical industry. Anatoly Kurmanaev and Clifford Krauss report in the New York Times:
4. Not that encouraging private investment will be easy after the socialists have spent two decades turning one of Latin America’s richest countries into a land of hunger and misery.

Americans romancing socialism better learn what makes and keeps a country rich.

1. Capitalism vs Socialism

Now that you put it that way,
-- Capitalism sounds so greedy and crass
-- Socialism sounds so good and noble

In practice, Capitalism leads to the greatest good for the largest number of people, Socialism leads to tyranny and untold misery for most.
2. On first blush it appears counter-intuitive. Upon reflection, it is perfectly foreseeable as to why. We are hostage to emotive words. Profit motive is perhaps the most maligned and misunderstood phrase in the English language, whereas fairness is perhaps the most exalted.
3. But it is the profit motive, not fairness, that makes people get out of bed early, kiss goodbye to their loved ones, and go out there and bust their behinds to produce something that others will find valuable enough to pay more for than it costs the business owners to produce.

Bernie Sanders has won the New Hampshire primary.
Pete Buttigieg finished second.
Amy Klobuchar came in third.

Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren are not on pace to win any delegates. None. Zero. Zilch!
Apparently the big story on @MSNBC tonight is that Bernie Sanders lost big in New Hampshire to Buttigieg/Klobuchar combined.
@MSNBC Bernie Sanders: The Big Loser in New Hampshire Primary

Just 1 in 4 Democratic voters pulled the lever for Bernie in New Hampshire today. That's pretty much the MSM story and they are sticking by it. It's a fact.

1. President Trump (@realDonaldTrump),

Sir, I have defended you relentlessly for over 3 years against unfair accusations from the Democrats, MSM, NeverTrumpers, academia, Hollywood, and all other manner of rank opposition, but on this I won't.
@realDonaldTrump 2. President Trump (@realDonaldTrump),

Sir, you have done great many things for the nation, for which I have applauded you all through. Facts are hardy things. You have delivered phenomenal results for the people, which your opponents will willfully overlook, but I never do.
@realDonaldTrump 3. President Trump (@realDonaldTrump),

Many false accusations of racism have been hurled at you by your opponents, including the Charlottesville hoax against you wherein MSM and Democrats unremittingly quoted you out of context. I defended you against all of those.

A thread w/ #Bernie's excellent interviews today.
#Bernie2020 #NotMeUs #NHprimary2020

"If you do, as Mayor Buttigieg does, take huge amounts of contributors from pharma CEOs, fossil fuel financiers, insurance, Wall St, does anyone seriously believe you will stand up to them?"
Chris Wallace makes the case for Pete Buttigieg.

Sanders - "Do you think when the CEO's of the major drug companies contribute to your campaign, you will take them on? Common sense suggests ... you will not effectively represent working families." #NotMeUs #NHprimary2020
"How do you overcome the #socialist label?," Chris asks.

"In many respects, we are a socialist society today ... The difference between my socialism and Trump's socialism is I believe that government should help working families, not billionaires." #BernieBeatsTrump #Bernie2020

#BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT

It's been a long journey to reach that conclusion. Please hear me out.

My journey started in Beirut, where I grew up in a brutal civil war. Violence and injustice everywhere.

But today's America alarms me more than Beirut...
BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE

In America today, children are stolen from their parents, locked in freezers, caged, gunned down in schools.

Billionaires get richer while children go hungry, homeless, and without healthcare.

A society that brutalizes children is BROKEN...
BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE

When I quit my music career to become an anti-Bush activist at the turn of the millennium, it stunned me to see the Democratic Party, my party, largely go along with Bush's assault on civil liberties. Torture. War based on lies. Patriot Act...

"Mayoral hopeful Bill de Blasio
has had three different legal names, court records show"
- New York Daily News
google.com/amp/s/www.nyda…
"...curious twist,
the application said the required legal notice disclosing the name change would be published in the weekly Boston Phoenix,
and not in a New York City newspaper.
In contrast, the legal notice of the 1983 name change was published in the New York Law Journal."
"...from 1995 to 2001,
the now-candidate for mayor was registered with the city Board of Elections as Bill de Blasio and voted 10 times under that name,
even though he had not yet petitioned the court to change his name from Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm."

Bernie Sanders isn't my candidate, his time, I think, has passed. But I WILL say that we should credit him for a lot of what current progressives are campaigning on. If he gets the nomination, we vote for him. This is an interesting piece. #TuesdayThoughts washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2-"The Democratic presidential jam session gained a new act Tuesday with Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) entry into the race. Despite running second in most early polls, Sanders is likely to find that he can’t recapture the magic once he goes back out on tour. Sanders’s 2016 debut
