How the Holocaust shaped Bernie Sanders’s politics | The Times of Israel

WASHINGTON — Bernie Sanders thinks US President Donald Trump represents a unique threat to the body politic. The most powerful man in America, he argues, is a demagogue and a racist. He targets and oppresses racial and ethnic minorities. He stirs discord and division.

In a rare interview this week in which the Democratic presidential hopeful opened up about his personal story, he accused the president of trying to “demonize people because they were not born in this country.”

Another day, another advertisement from Time Warner Cable. I’m quite happy with my smartphone 📱 I can’t imagine why I would want internet at home.

Walking the Ridgeline

Walking the ridge line again at Partridge Run over the Switz Kill Valley. 🚶

I could have used my skis 🎿 there is a lot more snow up here than I originally expected. But my muck boots are good and dry and I can walk anywhere with the boots here and there is very little ice to my surprise.

I actually really like walking along the ridge and looking down at the rural landscape below. The farm fields and hills are always real pretty in the winter.
