They have a good feel for him.

No Churchills here
Andy Schmookler at Blue Virginia pines for a hero - a Democrat to rally Americans like Winston Churchill rallied the British through World War II.
Who could that be in 2020?
Churchill spent the '30s warning of the looming danger of Hitler's Germany. But he was a lone voice in the political wilderness.
The establishment didn't listen to him.
They mocked him.
The people wanted peace, not war. They thought pledging not to fight would bring peace.
I found this in the Wikipedia entry on the famous Oxford Union debate about fighting for King and Country.
Digby addressed the packed chamber: "It is no mere coincidence that the only country fighting for the cause of peace, Soviet Russia, is the country that has rid itself of the war-mongering clique. The justification urged for the last war was that it was a war to end war. If that were untrue it was a dastardly lie; if it were true, what justification is there for opposition to this motion tonight?"
They thought Soviet Russia was doing things the right way.
I guess Bernie would be his best Churchill.
Everyone else in the Democratic field appears to have the same views, sticking with the herd.
No opinions are allowed that don't match the current tenor of the activists.
Not the place to find a Churchill that fights.

Emphasis on Mad
A Slate writer watched Rachel Maddow last week and came away scared.
I’ll admit that I haven’t watched Maddow regularly for the past few years. Turning on her show this week was like discovering a Facebook friend is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She looks the same as she did, she even sounds the same, but 15 minutes into a conspiratorial rant with no sense of proportion or, honestly, responsibility, you realize that something has gone wildly wrong.

Time to play the official song for the event.
Coming attractions
Andrew McCarthy knows what's going next when the Mueller report is eventually released.
But let’s not pretend there is anything edifying in further plumbing the depths of “Trump–Russia collusion.” When the Mueller report is published, we’ll still be talking past each other, selectively mining the details so one side can say “no collusion,” and the other side can say “boatload of collusion.” No judge, no resolution . . . just fatigue.

They had nothing
The Washington Post tells how the Trump team avoiding an interview with the Mueller team.
Central to the Trump strategy — developed first by Cobb and Dowd and later carried out by Giuliani, Sekulow and the Raskins, as well as Flood, who from his White House perch represented the office of the presidency — was to cooperate fully with every request for documents and witnesses from Mueller, including Trump’s written answers to some questions.
Their goal: to satisfy Mueller’s hunt for information to the extent that the special counsel would not have legal standing to subpoena the president’s oral testimony.

Talk this way
After a great week for President Trump, how about a salute to talk radio hosts?
Talk radio was at the forefront reminding audiences of the difference between someone going to jail for tax and bank fraud versus having a hand in treason. Talk radio stopped to ask just who are these “unnamed sources” claiming “explosive new claims” while mainstream media relentlessly hyperventilated, “Today was the bombshell to inevitably take down the Trump administration once and for all!”
Don’t forget all the hours and hours of former Washington power players who sat in cable news guest chairs each predicting the unmistakable, undeniable, unforgivable, unquestionable crimes they just KNEW Donald Trump and his campaign committed. They staked their reputations on their certainty of Donald Trump’s guilt.
Meanwhile talk radio sliced, diced, and parsed each of their claims. Instead, questioning just what all these bureaucrat-turned-cable pundits might have had to hide themselves while they pointed the finger at Trump shouting “GUILTY!”

Collusion delusion
How long will Democrats hold onto the idea of Russian collision?
It does make them feel better.
The idea that Trump colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton was appealing to many Democrats in the same way any conspiracy theory appeals to the confused: It seemed to explain the inexplicable, with paranoia providing enough elasticity to gloss over any plot holes. The theory's most attractive feature was the near-impossible task of debunking it.
And few realities were more confusing than Trump's win via victories in key Democratic states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, all of which went Republican for the first time in decades. How could an uncouth loudmouth like Trump defeat a polished professional like Clinton? Divine intervention — or at least some sort of outside intervention — was the only answer. Real Russian efforts to undermine confidence in the election only fed this confusion.

Collusion confusion
If there's no Russian collusion, then any obstruction of justice comes from dealing with an investigation that shouldn't have been started in the first place.
Hang up your broom
The Mueller phase of the Trump presidency is over.
The "witch hunt" failed to lead to indictments for Russia collusion during 2016 campaign.
The Democrats can keep trying, but that broom won't fly.

Trump's gonna win big
Politico gives Democrats the bad news - based on the economy, President Trump should easily win re-election.
"The economy is just so damn strong right now and by all historic precedent the incumbent should run away with it," said Donald Luskin, chief investment officer of TrendMacrolytics, a research firm whose model correctly predicted Trump’s 2016 win when most opinion polls did not. "I just don't see how the blue wall could resist all that."
Cry, Democrats, cry.

Neighborhood improvement
If your neighbor complains about the height of your fence, don't do what this guy did.
Jason Windus of Santa Rosa said he built the tall fence to keep his dogs in his yard, but after a neighbor complained, the city forced him to reduce the height or face a fine, KTVU FOX 2 reported.
Windus chopped it to the maximum 36 inches, and then set up five naked mannequins — with some standing and others seated on chairs in his yard.
“I don’t know who it is and I’m sure they’re not going to come forward,” Windus told the news outlet of the protesting neighbor. “And even if they do, this is just a statement for them — maybe mind your own business a little bit.”

It's OK if they eat dirt
The New York Times offers advice you don't often hear.
We're too clean.
“Our immune system needs a job,” Dr. Lemon said. “We evolved over millions of years to have our immune systems under constant assault. Now they don’t have anything to do.”
She isn’t alone. Leading physicians and immunologists are reconsidering the antiseptic, at times hysterical, ways in which we interact with our environment.
It's spring. Time to get dirty.

Full Big House
My wife has been watching the Hallmark series "When the Heart Calls."
Lori Loughlin has a major role.
Probably not for long.
Now we can have teenagers telling parents that they don't really love them - they didn't bribe colleges to get them into the top schools.

Nothing really matters
Tucker Carlson nailed his opening monologue Monday.
The Media Matters crew may need Bubba the Love Sponge to soak up their tears.
And Tucker has friends.
This sort of stuff makes for a worse country. It’s not meant to purify our public discourse. It’s meant to club to death opponents using the convenience of a Google search. The use of the tactic means that only the shameless (people who will never apologize for anything) or neophytes (people who have never said anything) or radical Leftists who will be let off the hook for anything (see Reid, Joy) will be tolerated. That’s the goal. So let’s not pretend Media Matters is making the world a better place. They’re making it a worse one, one fishing expedition at a time.

Straw poll
My college decided to remove straws last year.
They brought them back a few weeks ago.\
“We believe Towson should be a green campus; however, we should have better alternatives than something that dissolves in soda,” Ford said.
Dissolving straws definitely suck.

Bring on the chaos
The Democratic party has changed since President Trump reached the Oval Office.
The former gatekeepers have been overrun.
The Democrats are beginning to come to terms with what their newly constituted party. They got a big dose of it this past week in the House, as they wrestled with how to respond to controversial comments by freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) about supporters of Israel that drew widespread criticism as being anti-Semitic.
As they were preparing to send a resolution to the floor condemning anti-Semitism, in a rebuke of Omar, House Democratic leaders felt a revolt well up from beneath them. Allies of Omar pushed back. The resolution was altered to condemn all forms of hate.
Does the grassroot have electoral magic - or will they tear down the party enough for Trump to cruise to reelection?

The United States women's soccer team has more trophies than the men's team.
But the men are paid more.
The women have filed a lawsuit about getting equal pay.
No need for court action.
Let the men and women play on the soccer pitch.

Give it up
A trendy idea for Lent - give up plastics.
Except the United States is a small part of worldwide plastic usage.
Most plastic debris comes from part of the world when Christians are not the majority.
Maybe if you want to save the environment, you should use your money to support missions that preach about Jesus to those areas.
Then they can join you in giving up plastics as your Lenten obligation.

Let me sleep on it
Via Althouse, good news if you can take a quick nap during the day.
His study found that a 20-minute nap resulted in an average drop of 5mm Hg (how medical experts measure blood pressure) - that's about the same as a low dose of blood pressure medication.

Let Democrats Duke it out

I hate it when that happens
The Democrats are unhappy with each other.
Thanks to Ilhan Omar's comments on Israel, some want to condemn her.
Some want to defend her and condemn leadership for bringing a resolution to condemn Omar.
That moment of frustration reflects widespread anxiety in the caucus over how to handle the latest bout of remarks from Omar — one of the first Muslim women to serve in Congress — after she suggested that pro-Israel advocates had “allegiance” to Israel. The remarks offended multiple top Democrats, who said it alluded to painful, decades-old stereotypes that Jews had “dual loyalties.”
Multiple Jewish lawmakers, including Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) stood up in the caucus meeting to explain why Omar’s latest remarks were so offensive and potentially dangerous. But other Democrats — including a Jewish lawmaker — stood up to defend Omar and say they didn’t see the remarks as deeply offensive.
So much hate on the Democratic side.

Who's the most woke of them all?
Victor Davis Hanson sees the crash of intersectionality coming.
Then diversity as a revolutionary moment was further expanded by including gays and woke women, which essentially took the initial African-American population whose plight was the aim of affirmative action and expanded it to in theory a majority of about 200 million Americans who were either non-white or women or both.
Now the revolution cannot figure out its own hierarchy of authentic grievance groups.
Just call me MAGA-gendered.

And despite a high-speed rail being the cornerstone of her green strategy, the Democratic firebrand took Amtrak 18 times, compared to 66 airline transactions costing $25,174.54 during the campaign season.
