A primary would not be good by consuming resources that should in an ideal world be aimed at defeat of the former hockey jock, current mining shill. What's his name?
Reporting from the north, here and here.
If you conclude one of the kill-joys is named Metsa, gold star to you. Each party has its mining shill, but only one of the parties has an unopposed mining shill.
Phifer would be a good fresh face in Congress. She would be good for the District, good for the State. May it happen.
Also, mixing in some youth along with others such as Pelosi in the House cannot be anything but a national benefit. Indeed, with Pelosi having a primary challenger, perhaps the challenger would win, and mix things up as well.
Progress will come only from progressives being elected; Trump-Ryan being the alternative; or Trump-Ryan with a bit of Tom Perez would not be much in the way of progress. Blue Dogs will vote with progressives on organizing and will play a role in setting numbers defining majority party and minority party; but Blue Dogs do not learn new tricks.

Election day, Tuesday, November 6, 2018. Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 22, 2018.
A hope is that the turkeys do not fare well either November day. It could be blustery days for blustery individuals.

THE INTERCEPT; YESTERDAY: Little Prince and Saudi Prince met and talked, about - something. Perhaps 666 Fifth Ave., N.Y. City, and low occupancy, a liquidity pinch, debt service, timely refinancing, etc. was disucssed. Intercept quote, "Senior U.S. government officials have long worried about Kushner’s handling of sensitive foreign policy issues given his lack of diplomatic experience. They have also raised concerns about the possibility that foreign officials might try to influence him through business deals with his family’s real estate empire. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly examining Kushner’s business ties as part of his ongoing probe. [...] In the wake of MBS’s crackdown in Saudi Arabia, the National Security Council’s policy coordination committee suggested that Tillerson intervene and try to reason with the crown prince, according to a former White House official and a former State Department official. Tillerson declined, telling colleagues doing so would be “pointless” given that Kushner was already in close and direct contact with him."
This link, another quote fitting the item's headline:
Given uncertainties of the actual health of the Kushner family's real estate empire, who knows if horse trading happened?
Time has been called an endless arrow, pointing only one way, so that sequences in time may have import. Items online with a sequential dimension; here, here and here - same sequence, same dimension, all three items from this month, each mentioning Qatar and Kushner business happenings, with two from days before The Intercept published online, per the link opening this post, that Intercept item stating the following:
Perhaps even a sizable lump-sum purchase of Ivanka brand accessories for the various Saudi wives might have been a topic of what might have been a possibly wide ranging discussion with career U.S. diplomats excluded. Perhaps not.
When the phrase, "more likely than not" comes to mind, how do you figure the chips fell on that circumstantial-inference question of guess how wide ranging the little prince and the Saudi prince talked - and possibly even promised?
Guess whether Kushner business records might be subpoenaed by Mueller, if not now, later as time's arrow moves on.
Food for thought? Food for the Kushners? What?
_____________UPDATE___________
In the item first linked to above, after discussion of 666 Fifth Avenue, closing paragraphs:
In declining to quote from paragrphs preceding closing commentary, and from the three linked items, the intent is that curious readers will read the items, a hint of what to think over when reading, "February 2019," a date mentioned here and here, so you can hit those links and word search.
If a Blue Wave does happen strong enough to flip both houses of Congress, in November 2018, then February 2019 could truly prove to be a milestone date. One which in parallel might interest the Mueller investigative team. Who knows, there might be some email trail where erasure among all corresponding and cc and bcc parties would be required to fully deep-six it. Perhaps only those with full actual security clearances would be able to see things unfolding prior to that date less than two months into 2019.
It is likely that Crown Prince Mohammed would have known who his critics were without Kushner mentioning them, a U.S. government official who declined to be identified pointed out. The crown prince may also have had his own reasons for saying that Kushner shared information with him, even if that wasn’t true. Just the appearance that Kushner did so would send a powerful message to the crown prince’s allies and enemies that his actions were backed by the U.S. government.
One of the people MBS told about the discussion with Kushner was UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, according to a source who talks frequently to confidants of the Saudi and Emirati rulers. MBS bragged to the Emirati crown prince and others that Kushner was “in his pocket,” the source told The Intercept.

Kushner’s unconventional communications with regional leaders excluded diplomats during the summer of 2017, when Saudi Arabia and the UAE initiated an economic blockade aimed at weakening their Gulf neighbor Qatar. Tillerson’s attempts to mediate the crisis were quickly undercut by Trump and Kushner, who supported the blockade. Three State Department officials told The Intercept that Tillerson was largely in the dark about Kushner’s communications with MBS during that period.
Perhaps even a sizable lump-sum purchase of Ivanka brand accessories for the various Saudi wives might have been a topic of what might have been a possibly wide ranging discussion with career U.S. diplomats excluded. Perhaps not.

_____________UPDATE___________
In the item first linked to above, after discussion of 666 Fifth Avenue, closing paragraphs:
“We could not understand why the Trump administration was so firmly taking the Saudis’ side in this dispute between the Saudis, the Emiratis, and Qatar, because the United States has very important interests in Qatar,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told George Stephanopoulos, host of ABC’s “This Week,” after The Intercept reported on Kushner Companies’ efforts to obtain financing from Qatar. Murphy was referring to Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, home of U.S. Central Command, where thousands of U.S. troops are stationed.
“If the reason this administration put U.S. troops at risk in Qatar was to protect the Kushners’ financial interests, then that’s all the evidence you need to make some big changes in the White House,” Murphy said.
MBS is in Washington this week. On Tuesday, he was warmly received by Trump, who told reporters that the U.S.-Saudi relationship is “probably the strongest it’s ever been.”

Left.mn describes a DFL confab happening in a strong-DFL district, and my bet is the SD35 Republican convention this Saturday will not be chaotic, but as well organized as a Roman legion going to war.
Left.mn, here. Then, our good friends at SD35 Republicans, promising a March 24 weekend event.
Having no real affiliation with the latter situation, only able to guess, here's a forecast:
Credentials will be easy, there's an entry fee and nobody but hard-core would bother. Then all assembled. Salute the flag seven times before any dissention arises. It will be over the opening Bible reading, some wanting Old Testament, some Paul's favorite epistle (as they see it), ultimately Book of Revelations in its entirety being chosen, Abibale Whelan appointed to read.
Then after opening seven seals, the delegates will to Sons of Anarchy sound track music attempt to choose the HD 35A standard bearer. Having no consensus the question will be tabled. A motion from the floor for mellow choir music when the question is resumed will pass, and it will be so. "Yes, Jesus Loves Me" being the chosen tune.
As was pointed out to me in an email, there will be no dispute over HD 35B since Peggy Scott is the incumbent and incumbency carries the day among SD 35 Republicans. Scott's cosmetician will place her name in nomination; there will be a unanimous voice vote, and then the SD 35A question, previously tabled, will be resumed, with the suggestion of choice by mortal combat being voted down because at least one of the contestants will be against the idea.
There will be a hung convention, no endorsement, and since every candidate agreed to abide by the endorsement there will be lengthy debate over whether a candidate will be running in November at all; no endorsement suggesting no candidate.
Next, one of the party elders will suggest a primary, it will be a dandy idea unanimously approved by voice vote, and a motion to adjourn will be tabled so that Peggy Scott can, as HD 35B unanimous endorsee, read the Bible passage of her choice for the multitude. After her reading the food code from Leviticus, the confab adjourns, and party leaders will be allowed out first, with their chauffeurs, ditto for the Freedom Club guests from west metro, then the hoi polloi exits, marching in rank and file to Sousa music, and SEIU workers next enter and clean up the mess at the venue once the neo-Romans have left, triumphant.
Yes, it was Hannibal who went to war with elephants, not the Romans, but history has little matter with the elephant coded neo-Roman SD 35, else if history did matter church and state separation would be respected.
Perhaps a GOP SD 35 insider might suggest I have made wrong guesses. Perhaps not.
To the extent this agenda contradicts speculation of unfolding of events as posited above, don't believe that agenda, believe the guesswork here. That agenda includes no Bible readings, and these are true come to Jesus believing Republicans after all. Never forget that.

Clown shows are always better with more than one clown providing circus atmosphere amusement. News of the day: We got 'em.
A pair. A matched pair. Per an AP item, carried by Strib. With this image leading the Strib report.
Read that report and then decide for yourself: Which one of them can ride a unicycle while juggling? Both? Neither? Unskilled clowns? Would P.T. Barnum have hired either? Would one of the pair have made P.T. Barnum (or equivalent) head of the VA?
Now, why the image? It is for the younger readers who did not experience the 70's and would not believe people did not then do much body piercing but did wear polyester bellbottoms and leisure suits. And it is for categorizing the man in the image as a tool of his times, shaped by what then sufficed as superficial huckstering of the day's branded goods then in fashion as "luxury" badges indicative of the "good life." Compare, e.g., image above and images here and here. That comparison serves to put the man in his cage of peers. Letting the young understand how his destiny was shaped, the forces and focus that made him who he is. And remember - formative years for the clownish pair.

PEOPLE GET READY: Our Revolution Minnesota has a slate of Congressional endorsements. None for CD7 which has an unshakable Ag. Committee ranking member Blue Dog incumbency. For the other districts new faces are favored; people who do not seek corporate ties and interlocks, Cargill, UnitedHealthcare, Big Pharma, international banks, or otherwise.
 |
| https://ourrevolutionmn.com/endorsements/ |
My choices go down the middle, where it is good to see Erdmann and Phifer and my favoring them is a shared viewpoint among progressives who were Bernie backers. Yes, Ian Todd has been recognized in Crabgrass posting as an upgrade for CD6 if the blue wave happens, and Ellison is a most welcome mainstay where earlier focus upon him was not needed.
Here, Phifer and Erdmann have received disproportionate commentary, because those are interesting races, one with no incumbent running and the other with an egregious choice having been made last election. And where CD8 and CD2, unlike CD6, have other contestants for the DFL endorsement.
Following the Our Revolution endorsements in the Congressional contests is an easy way to be assured one is voting for well-intentioned quality people not beholden to any corporate special interests.
Dean Phillips has been mentioned in commentary here, and the choice between Otto and Murphy is a gut level decision where should Walz emerge as the DFL choice; each of the three is a non-bank lobbyist carpet bagging back to Minnesota with an intent to hold rich white male dominated middle-aged-and-older big money fundraisers to finance an aim at doing mischief in great measure should November voters prove less than astute.
Can anyone reveal to the public, if not the donor-fundraiser attendee names, the proportion that were either female or younger than forty who showed up and gave huckster money to the " alleged Sam's Club" beltway inside operator?
The man even lies about his Sam's Club bit; putting on a red plaid flannel for a book cover while he's corporate to the bone and owned and paid for that way while enjoying having suits as well tailored and pricey as the ones Nasser Kazeminy picked out and bought for Norm Coleman.
Let us invent a term: a Sam's Club fraud. It fits. Like those spiffy suits. Suits worn as sartorially topped off with a Trump tie and one of those Republican-loved cloisonne lapel flag pins. Made in China. (Like Trump ties and Ivanka shoes and most other of the Trump family's retailed merchandise.)
At a bet, the man's fundraiser - the Minnesota one not the Florida one - was peopled by more than one UnitedHealthcare fat-wallet person, ditto Freedom Club (that libertarian-Jesus progress-hating confab peopled out of the several west metro country clubs).
Having no knowledge of Rich Wright, (the Our Revolution endorsed DFL candidate in CD1 where the seat is open because Walz is in the running for Governor), aside from knowing a possible slogan, Wright is Right for Minnesota; research is needed.
On the statewide auditor race, Julie Blaha is from Ramsey with strong support among SD35 DFL caucus and convention attendees. Blaha has union roots with the teachers and the AFL-CIO while Tollefson has nurses backing. I know Julie, she has befriended me, so that my view favoring her is colored that way.
It is time I again look at twenty-seven buck multiples to help The Revolution, so Wright may soon get a check in the mail, Phifer and Erdmann, another check each.
In closing the post, please note that the Our Revolution endorsement page screencapture is captioned with the webpage link, and know that the endorsement page in turn links from each photo to a candidate page at Our Revolution. For example, Rich Wright.
From that example, one can contrubute to the Wright campaign via a page button maintained by Our Revolution; or by linking over to the candidate's webpage:
http://www.richwright.org/
Again, the Our Revolution starting endorsement link is:
https://ourrevolutionmn.com/endorsements/
Also note - legislative races are starting to gain endorsement attention.
Finally it may be coincidence, but DCCC picks its annointed favorites, Our Revolution endorses and in the two races where there's a known difference, Erdmann in Minnesota CD2, and Laura Moser in Houston CD7, each have the Our Revolution blessing, with others being those favored by the beltway corporatist-leaning operation.
Readers, please do NOT contribute to DCCC. Please, instead, contribute to individual candidates you prefer. In Houston CD7, Emily's List discriminated against pro-choice progessive Laura Moser, so be cautious about that DC-based operation too. Attention to such things will ideally forestall beltway misapprehensions in the future. Now, and in the future, ideally. The message will become more real to beltway folks if progressives gain ascension in the ranks of Congress and in local legislatures. May that blessing become a reality. Soon.

LIBERIAN WORKERS: A FEDERAL-LEVEL SITUATION WITH METRO ELDER CARE IMPLICATIONS; ELDER CARE BEING A GROWTH SEGMENT OF THE NATIONAL WORKFORCE. BEYOND THAT THERE IS THE COMPELLING NEED OF HUMANE AND DECENT REGARD FOR THE PLIGHT OF OTHERS.
Strib local coverage, not a wire feed:
BOTTOM LINE: The strong Liberian presence in the nursing home 24/7 care segment is necessary for that segment of workforce need to be met.
Nursing home attendant work is not the appealing high-paying jobs the Trump alt-right whining middle-age white male folks whine over being lost in the U.S. of A. It is work they would not take. It is shift work, it is dealing with grandma and grandpa who might not have any remaining good control of body function, and handling other people's soiled Depends and assisting elderly when needed in toilet function gets done, thanks in large measure to regular hard working Liberians who within their sub-community have come to concentrate in nursing home care in a greater proportion than they represent, state wide.
Readers having kin in an elder care facility likely already understand the problem the Liberian workers face. The understanding needs to become more widespread. Other media outlets beyond Strib should inform themselves of the situation's dimensions, so that the public in general could be better informed.
The Strib article mentions Paulsen and Ellison on board; so where's my Rep. (for whom I never voted but am stuck with), Sir Thomas Emmer who is in DC in the House with a vote.
Readers, lobby Emmer to join the effort, please.
In Anoka, [HD 35A], one of the more recently built and well managed facilities is The Homestead, a VOA facility between the Anoka Northstar stop to the south and the former county mental homesite, north of The Homestead. It is expanding its facilities and the range of care offered in parallel with the body of elderly in the metro area needing to make the hard decision that it is time to give up general housing and enter a care-giving situation. The Homestead also offers intermediate care for those between hospitalization and return to home and regular activity. Liberian workers assist both functions.
Readers presently unfamiliar are urged to visit and talk to human resource people at The Homestead or another elder care site, to ask about the dependence upon Liberian workers within that segment of the job force. It would be an eye-opener for many.
Also, we are not talking about only low skill workers. In fairness to the range of skills within the Liberian community beyond attendant work, there are those who have attained nursing credentials. The Homestead employs several Liberian nurses, including one who is a wound care specialist nurse from within the metro Liberian community. However, it might be that those with advanced skill sets have an easier path to citizenship and permanent residency. It is those relying on DED who are on tenterhooks.
With the impression that Rep. Emmer and Stanley Hubbard are conversant with one another, getting either concerned would help getting both on board - Emmer in the House, Hubbard in media-information areas.
The situation needs attention and humane reactions. The Liberian workers themselves have sometimes for years been residents in our county and in the workforce while not accorded permanent residence status. The decade and a half of elder care work of Ms. Wilson as highlighted by Strib is but one instance. A caring view is that even apart from the compelling need for the work they do it is humane and decent to help lessen unnecessary stress within the Liberian community. Then, viewed from the lens of what they mean to the expanding elderly population of the metro area, there is more cause to support their remaining in country.
Please help.
Local Liberians rally to salvage deportation protection program - As program expires, many cite jobs, deep ties to Minnesota, By Mila Koumpilova, Star Tribune staff, March 16, 2018
Liberians in Minnesota are making a last-ditch push to save a little-known deportation reprieve program, lobbying on Capitol Hill and issuing a plea to local employers.
The March 31 expiration date of the program, which has allowed natives of the West African country to stay and work in the United States since 2007, has spurred anxiety in one of North America's largest Liberian enclaves. Community efforts led U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen, a Republican, to team up with Democrats in the state's congressional delegation in urging the Trump administration to extend the program — called Deferred Enforced Departure, or DED.
[... Trump administration] decisions make DED's prospects murky, local Liberians say, even as they tout the program participants' deep community ties and outsized role in the metro's workforce in nursing homes and other health care sectors.
"We all live in fear," said Christina Wilson, a north metro DED recipient. "We don't know what will happen after the 31st."
With a bachelor's degree in management from her home country, Wilson started work as a nursing assistant at the Saint Therese Senior Services home in New Hope more than 15 years ago — a job she says she fell in love with. She sent money to her three children, who stayed back in Liberia with their grandmother.
In 2007, several years after Liberia's civil war ended, former President George W. Bush ended TPS for Liberia but allowed those in the program to remain on DED.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services doesn't know the number of people in the program, but back in 2007, the agency estimated about 4,200 Liberians would be eligible. Some community leaders in the Twin Cities believe as many as several thousand live in the metro, primarily in the north suburbs.
Dan Cadman, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, an influential Washington, D.C., group that advocates for reducing immigration, says it's time to end DED as well. [...] "Despite the idea that DED is a 'temporary' reprieve, it has existed for years and years — something not lost on the American people, and exactly the kind of thing that erodes confidence in the rule of law," Cadman said.
Local Liberians counter that after years of living legally in the United States, DED recipients are deeply enmeshed in the Twin Cities community. Some run small businesses and have children who are U.S. citizens.
Jamie Gulley, president of SEIU Healthcare Minnesota, says more than 1,000 of the union's 35,000 members are Liberian, including Wilson, and that at least several thousand Liberians work in health care locally.
The union doesn't know how many rely on DED, but members are anxious about the expiration date. [...]
"These members are a vital part of our health care system," Gulley said. "This would have a pretty significant impact on the care Minnesotans rely on."
BOTTOM LINE: The strong Liberian presence in the nursing home 24/7 care segment is necessary for that segment of workforce need to be met.
Nursing home attendant work is not the appealing high-paying jobs the Trump alt-right whining middle-age white male folks whine over being lost in the U.S. of A. It is work they would not take.
