So, birth rates are plummeting in the US among white residents. Closer examination locates the low rate areas on both east coast and west coast. Hmmm. Aren't these the fortified bastions of liberal voters and constituents? Yes, they are. And where does the minority leader in the House, Mrs. Nancy Pelosi, hail from? Why San Francisco, of course, the navel of Democratic One-Party leadership. So, the 76 year old Grandmother will continue to dole out party favors to the Old Guard Dems who are still reeling from the November 8th setbacks at the polls across the fruited plain. Absent the irascible Senator Harry Reid(1 more month), Nancy is the de facto leader of all Dems.
A leadership challenger to Ms. Pelosi did so in a half-hearted attempt at change; but this was for show and not taken seriously by folks with brains. Maybe she really is waiting for the electorate to swing back to the Dems, but it is more likely that she'll be sent home to Fog City long before that happens. The voters wanted real change and they got it, come what may. No more business/politics as usual, Thank you very much, Mr. Trump. Hillary did not play her advantage well at all, and Ms. Pelosi hardly helped her cause. Rarely was Grandma seen on the campaign trail: who wants that support? Not Hillary. The Clintons will resort to speech making and tending the grandchild, and counting their ducats in the counting house at Chappaqua.
The bigger problem facing the Dems, really, is the birth rate. No kids= no votes. Recent published figures indicate that Dems don't want families. A survey of nationwide stats indicate very low or nonexistent replacement rates on both coasts. Where the money/jobs are= no new children. Hmmm. Any chance of turning this around? Not really: too much student debt, too much job insecurity; too much money; and too much narcissism. Time will tell, but it doesn't look good for Dems.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
