it could take just one guilty verdict for him to \u201cpolitically\u201d disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And if that happens in June, after the primaries but before the nominating convention, someone needs to step in \u2013 and \u201cthe money\u201d is anointing Nikki Haley.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">No one expects a \u201cmiracle\u201d, some blinding flash when MAGA-Republicans realize that Donald Trump won\u2019t win against Joe Biden.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, he\u2019s a 77 year-old man, who can\u2019t remember if he ran against Obama or Biden, and confuses Haley with Nancy Pelosi.&nbsp;&nbsp;And then there\u2019s those felony charges.&nbsp;&nbsp;So someone has to be \u201cin the wings\u201d, and Haley staying in the race makes her \u201cthe one\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And as a Democrat, Haley does make me a little nervous.&nbsp;&nbsp;She is painting both Trump and President Biden as tired-old men, ready for the green pastures of retirement.&nbsp;&nbsp;Against Trump, that really isn\u2019t an issue for Biden \u2013 Trump\u2019s almost as old.&nbsp;&nbsp;But against Haley, the age issue is real, and quietly powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Postscripts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">*This whole \u201cclass\u201d thing:&nbsp;&nbsp;the monied class, the political class, the elite-liberal-university class; what\u2019s that all about?&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure, there are people with money, there are those who are professional politicians, and folks have complained about Harvard-Yale-Dartmouth arrogance for years.&nbsp;&nbsp;Why are they now all \u201ca class\u201d?&nbsp;&nbsp;Is that just a way to \u201ccancel\u201d them?&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are a \u201cclass\u201d, then your different from me, and therefore I can \u201chate\u201d you, is that the goal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Hanging:&nbsp;&nbsp;A couple of Sunday\u2019s ago I left you hanging on a \u201cSunday Story\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s now indoor track season and I\u2019m officiating Sunday track meets for several more weeks in a row, so not much time to tell stories (just creating some more!!).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But our group, Lost Pet Recovery, was helping to trap two young Pyrenees who were out for months in Western Ohio (<a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2024\/01\/12\/rube-goldberg\/\">Rube Goldberg<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;The short version is that, it took three days to finally get both dogs into the big panel trap.&nbsp;&nbsp;Jenn and Don spent two long evenings sitting in the truck in sub-zero wind chill&nbsp;&nbsp;waiting for the dogs to go in.&nbsp;&nbsp;But it was on the third night, with the local trapper in charge, that the pups finally went into the panel, and the \u201cRube Goldberg\u201d mechanism remotely closed the door (IT WORKED \u2013 WOO-HOO!!!!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That was only the first problem:\u00a0\u00a0next was how to get the dogs into smaller \u201ctraps\u201d so they could be transported to a rescue.\u00a0\u00a0It was cold, and the dogs weren\u2019t mean, but not cooperative either. Eventually the trapper and friends were able to get them in the traps, and soon out of the cold.\u00a0\u00a0Both dogs are now doing well in their new, and warm, home at the rescue.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victory I listened to Nikki Haley\u2019s&nbsp;&nbsp;New Hampshire \u201cvictory\u201d speech last night.&nbsp;&nbsp;She\u2019s got some smart speech writers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Haley got around 130,000 votes (91% of the total in as I write this), about 30,000 less than Donald Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;In politics, that\u2019s usually called \u201closing\u201d, 43% to 54%.&nbsp;&nbsp;But in Nikki Haley\u2019s world \u2013 this is what a \u201cwinner\u201d looks like!!! &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2024\/01\/24\/winning\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Winning&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
