Matt Allison Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 omg the GOP is so screwed. Tonight was the Pennsylvania Presidential Primary; again, this was a primary where only registered Republicans could vote, so no crossover Dem voting. Despite that, Nikki Haley, a candidate that dropped out 7 weeks ago still received over 100,000 votes and 16.5% of the vote total. Trump = toast.

Kirk Gallaway Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Whew! Damn that David Pecker! No wonder Jim Di switched from endorsing Hillary Clinton for President in early 2016 (despite the Bernie surge at the time!) to end up voting for Jill Stein in the 2016 election. It was facing him every time he went to the supermarket! ^^^^^^^ It was the HC World War 3 Article directly ^ above that sent Jim Di and Jeff Carter over the top! heh heh Edited April 24 by Kirk Gallaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 https://mccrindle.com.au/article/topic/generation-alpha/generation-alpha-defined/ Understanding Generation Alpha There is a growing generation that few people have heard of. Within the next few years they will outnumber the Baby Boomers, and many of them will live to see the 22nd Century. We’re talking about Generation Alpha, the children of Generation Y, and often the younger siblings of Generation Z. Simply put, Generation Alpha are defined as those born from 2010-2024. More than 2.8 million are born globally every week. When they have all been born (2025) they will number almost 2 billion – the largest generation in the history of the world. Who are Generation Alpha? While they are the youngest generation, they have brand influence and purchasing power beyond their years. They shape the social media landscape, are the popular culture influencers, the emerging consumers and by the end of the 2020’s will be moving into adulthood, the workforce and household formation, ready or not. The most materially endowed generation ever Gen Alpha are the most materially endowed generation ever, the most technologically savvy generation ever and they will enjoy a longer life span than any previous generation. They will stay in education longer, start their earning years later and stay at home with their parents later than even their predecessors, Gen Z and Gen Y. The role of parents therefore will span a longer age range – with many of these Gen Alphas likely to be still living at home into their late 20’s. The great screen-age This newest generation are part of an unintentional global experiment where screens are placed in front of them from the youngest age as pacifiers, entertainers and educational aids. This great screen age in which we are all living has bigger impacts on the generation exposed to such screen saturation during their formative years. From shorter attention spans to the gamification of education, from increased digital literacy to impaired social formation, these times impact us all but transform those in their formative years. Generation Alpha began being born in 2010, the year the iPad was launched, Instagram was created, and App was the word of the year- and so from their earliest years, they have been screenagers. How will Generation Alpha learn? With the increase in screen and technology, there’s no doubt that Generation Alpha will feel this influence in their schooling. For many, their childhood likely involved doing things that were new experiences, like taking piano lessons, playing sports with friends or reading books. These experiences helped shape them because they were engaging and gave opportunities to learn. While this is likely to happen still, the way Gen Alpha learn involves technology and has become more advanced and accessible through devices such as smartphones and tablets. This is already a trend among their forerunners, Gen Z, with TikTok (42%) the third most engaged with platform by students to teach themselves new skills, coming in above parents (39%). More people than ever, especially the emerging generations have access to information about anything with the rise of the internet. Generation Alpha's economic footprint By 2029, when the oldest Generation Alphas enter into adulthood and the youngest Generation Alphas reach the age of five, their economic footprint will reach more than US$5.46 trillion. This means that organizations today should be thinking about the future consumer in Generation Alpha. Why did we name them Generation Alpha? Just over a decade ago, when I was researching my first book The ABC of XYZ: Understanding the Global Generations, it became apparent that a new generation was about to commence and there was no name for them. This was just after the Atlantic hurricane season of 2005, when there were so many storms that the normal alphabetic names had been used up and so for the first time, the Greek alphabet was used. Generational definitions are most useful when they span a set age range and so allow meaningful comparisons across generations. That is why the generations today each span 15 years with Generation Y (Millennials) born from 1980 to 1994; Generation Z from 1995 to 2009 and Generation Alpha from 2010 to 2024. And so it follows that Generation Beta will be born from 2025 to 2039. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 'Republicans must step in!' Trump begs for help with legal troubles in frantic 2 a.m. rant by Travis Gettys April 24, 2024 Donald Trump begged Republicans to step in and help him wriggle out of his legal troubles in a middle-of-the-night rant Wednesday. “New York Justice is in shambles, and only the Appellate Courts can save it." “"A Republican doesn’t stand a chance," Trump raged in his overnight post. "This is not Justice." "This New York Cabal, run by Crooked Joe Biden’s White House, is a hit job on a Political Opponent the likes of which the USA has never seen before," Trump added. "For the Good of our Country, it must be stopped. The Crooked Joe Biden Witch Hunts have to be ended. REPUBLICANS IN WASHINGTON MUST TAKE ACTION!"

W. Niederhut Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) So, MAGA Mike Johnson went to Columbia University today to public denounce the students --who are protesting against Netanyahu's brutal bombing campaign against Gaza's civilian population-- as "Anti-Semites." It sounds like MAGA Mike, like the U.S. mainstream media, is promoting a false narrative about these anti-war protests. Slate published an interesting article this week about what is really happening at Columbia. Columbia University protests: What's really happening isn't what you've been told. (slate.com) There is also some ADL data on the internet today indicating that 100% of Anti-Semitic hate crimes in the U.S., since 2002, have been committed by right wingers-- not by Muslims or liberals. Perhaps MAGA Mike Johnson needs to speak to his own fascist, right wing constituents in Louisiana. (And Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley need to speak to their right wing constituents in Arkansas and Missouri, instead of calling for the National Guard to attack the anti-war protesters.)
