Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib Couldn't Deliver Their States or Districts for Bernie

Daniel Greenfield Monday, March 16, 2020 3 Comments @ Sultan Knish Blog

When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallied with Senator Bernie Sanders at New York City’s largest housing project where her politics had cost the city 25,000 jobs, it was the big radical moment.

Sanders had the endorsement of the Squad which was going to hand him the nomination.

The Left unified behind the Vermont socialist as Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Rep.
Rashida Tlaib hit the campaign trail for him. The Sanders campaign, already extreme, became more radical with imams like Omar Suleiman, “Zionists are the enemies of God”, and Al-Hassan Qazwini, Sanders is “an honorable man, even though he is a Jew”, appearing at Bernie Sanders rallies uniting the red and the green.

Along with Sunnis and Shiites for Sanders.

The uselessness of the Squad was already apparent when Rep. Ayanna Pressley, the one member of the Squad who had backed Senator Elizabeth Warren, saw Biden win her district.

But it just got worse for the Squad from there.

In Minnesota, Rep. Ilhan Omar was the warmup act for Sanders at the University of Minnesota’s Williams Arena, where Prince's old band was part of the attraction. Omar, who has lived her life by identity politics, called for a "mass movement of the working class that transcends faith, race, gender, and background."

Sanders falsely claimed that, "Ilhan and I share a common link as the descendants of families who fled violence and poverty, and who came to this country as immigrants." In fact, Omar had come from a wealthy and politically connected family. And her ancestors would have been happy to kill Bernie’s.

But despite Omar’s efforts, Sanders not only lost Minnesota, but Hennepin County, Omar’s district. Rep. Omar, a co-chair of the Sanders campaign, couldn’t even deliver her own district to him.

Keith Ellison, another state co-chair for Sanders, proved equally useless.

A third of Sanders’ campaign co-chairs in Minnesota were Islamists. The campaign had bet on the Islamic vote to make all the difference. Islamist organizations promised that the Muslim vote would completely transform politics with a massive turnout. But in Hennepin's Brooklyn Park, once a pleasant suburban community, now a mostly migrant area, with a large Somali population, Biden still beat Bernie Sanders.

Sanders scored some wins in Minneapolis, including decisive victories in the infamous sixth ward of Cedar Riverside or Little Mogadishu, but the amount of votes cast was negligible. While he won Somali and Muslim areas, not that many of them had actually turned out to vote for an old white socialist.

It may be that Omar’s influence in the Somali community is waning after her public adultery.

In Michigan, the results were even more humiliating. Rep. Rashida Tlaib had tweeted a video she made campaigning for Sanders in Detroit. Emgage Action, an Islamist PAC, had also gone all out for Sanders. A Dearborn rally had opened with Keffiyah dancers, Amer Zahr, a hateful BDS bigot, and Imam Sayed Hassan Qazwini who had once referred to Sanders as an “an honorable man, even though he is a Jew.”

“I look around this room and see people coming from so many different backgrounds. It is beautiful. This is what America looks like at its best," Sanders had told a Dearborn rally with women in hijabs standing behind him. While there were plenty of Arab Muslims rallying behind him, there were no black people.

Bernie’s diversity wore a hijab. And the demographics had changed, but not by quite that much.

Biden crushed Sanders, not only in Michigan, but in Rep. Tlaib’s own district. A place she had only been able to secure as a platform because the black vote was split by infighting among the Conyers clan.

Biden beat Sanders 57% to 35% in Tlaib’s district and 54% to 36% in Wayne County.

Sanders did win 62% of the vote in Dearborn. But that only gave him around 12,000 votes in an election where 1.5 million votes were cast. In a closer election with lower turnout, the Islamists might have made a difference. But instead Bernie lost every single county, including Wayne, where Dearborn is located, improving only a little bit in the area where he had bet his entire campaign. Or rather where the Islamists running his campaign had decided to make their stand on behalf of Bernie 2020.

After Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Michigan, the three M’s, three-quarters of the Squad is out.

But the Sanders campaign was always about building the power of lefties more than electing Bernie. That was always a longshot. Instead the campaign became a grift for Islamists and assorted radicals who got jobs, status, and a shot at remaking the Democrats in their own twisted and insane image.

But the revolution hasn’t arrived.

The Sanders campaign is collapsing and the group’s various local candidates haven’t done well either. Instead of mobilizing the Left, Sanders and the Squad succeeded in mobilizing the Democrats to rally against them. The “women of color” were undone by the black voters and working-class white voters who were supposed to flock to Bernie’s call for letting the Boston Marathon bomber vote from prison.

And, after the disasters in Minnesota and Michigan, the lingering question is whether the aggressive Islamist outreach backfired as Muslim voters failed to turn out in significant numbers, while other Democrats were swayed to avoid a campaign that had become toxic with bigots and terror supporters.

Bernie didn’t lose alone. The Squad and its Islamist cohort went down with his sinking socialist ship.

Elizabeth Warren Lost Because Women are Sexist

Posted by Daniel Greenfield Wednesday, March 11, 2020 4 Comments @ Sultan Knish Blog

Senator Elizabeth Warren née Herring only lost the Democrat primaries because of sexism.

Hillary Clinton blamed Warren's setbacks on "unconscious bias" and "gendered language". If only the media had referred to Warren as "him" or "xer" while being unconscious, it might be the nominee.

"Sexism Sank Elizabeth Warren," bleats The Nation. "Gender is at the core of this," Salon insists.

There’s no such thing as gender when it comes to castrating 7-year-old boys, or in weightlifting
competitions, but is a serious problem for the political ambitions of millionaire 70-year-old professors.

Vox even falsely claims that "women are feeling so defeated after Elizabeth Warren's loss".

If women are feeling so defeated by Warren’s primary faceplant, why didn’t they vote for her?

In her home state of Massachusetts, 34% of women voted for Joe Biden, 36% for Bernie Sanders, and only 24% for her.

That's 1 in 4 women. The other 3 out of 4 Democrat women must be sexist.

Among white women with college degrees, a third voted for her. But only 15% of white women with no degrees did. But, obviously, anyone who didn’t go to college must be a sexist pig.

The sexism problem was much worse among South Carolina women only 8% of whom picked Warren.

Half of Democrats who identify as women, as opposed to ducks, maple trees or windshield wipers, voted for Joe Biden, 17% for Sanders, 12% for Tom Steyer, and Warren tied with Buttigieg for 8%.

Not even 1 in 10 Democrat women in South Carolina were willing to support Senator Herring.

And, in South Carolina, quite a few of them would have been black women. Black voters make up 55% of the Dems in that state. The vast majority of black women didn’t pick Liz Warren. Something must be off.

Sexism, obviously. Or maybe witchcraft, space aliens and Russian bots.

But that’s South Carolina. They probably don’t even have consciousness raising circles and copies of But She Persisted, Even After They Asked Her to Stop, and Told Her This Was Dunkin Donuts. What about the enlightened state of California where you’re forced to pass a test on unconscious bias to be allowed to disembark at LAX before contracting the coronavirus and six different types of hepatis in baggage claim?

32% of Democrat women in California picked Bernie "A woman... fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously" Sanders. Another 28% chose Joe “Your hair smells like chamomile and Ukrainian rubles”*. Only 14% chose Warren. Why are 86% of California Democrat women such sexist pigs?

In Texas, the pattern continued as 33% of women chose Biden, 27% went for Sanders, and only 14% settled for Warren. In North Carolina, 42% of women chose Biden, 21% picked Sanders, and only 13% took Warren. In Virginia, 57% of women went for Biden, 19% for Sanders, and 12% for Warren.

In Vermont, 16% of women picked Warren, in Colorado, 17%, in Maine, 18%, in Minnesota, 19%, in Nevada, 15%, in Oklahoma, 16%, and 12% in Tennessee.

In Alabama, only 6% of women picked Warren. The other 94% of women are sexists.

Even from the start, Warren did badly with women. She only won 10% of the female vote in New Hampshire and 18% in Iowa.

While Warren usually did a few percentage points better with women than with men, the gender gap rarely went any wider than that. If Warren lost because of sexism, it was a genderless sexism.

The vast majority of women did not vote for Senator Elizabeth Warren. They didn’t vote for her in the earliest primaries or on Super Tuesday. She did not manage to do any better than secure the votes of 1 in 5 women outside her own state. Either 80% of women are sexists or Warren was a terrible candidate.

Given a choice between condemning 80% of their own party’s women as sexists or admitting that Warren was an unpleasant and unlikable politician, the media chose Warren over women.

Who are the real sexists here?

How is it that the same women (and men) who voted for Hillary in 2016 have suddenly turned sexist?

Was Hillary Clinton actually a man? Were Cory Booker and Deval Patrick forced to drop out because the Democrats are racists? Was Kamala Harris forced to end her campaign because the Democrats are both racist and sexist? Did Julian Castro have to end his miserable campaign because Democrats also hate Latinos? And there’s Andrew Yang? Did his campaign sputter because Democrats also hate Asians?

And Buttigieg? That one’s obviously homophobia.

If you believe the media, the Democrats are a diverse party of racist, sexist homophobes.

And the media has made all of these arguments. Booker, Harris, and Castro all piteously beat the racism drum before going on their good riddance tour. When Buttigieg dropped out, it was homophobia’s turn.

"Pete Buttigieg dropped out of the presidential race, and homophobia helps explain why," an NBC News column claims.

That and statistics.

But if the Democrats are really so racist, maybe it’s time to call it a day and break up this bigoted organization. The media has made a convincing case that black Democrats hate black people (Kamala Harris and Cory Booker had even less black support than Warren had female support), female Democrats hate women, and gay Democrats must be homophobes. The New Hampshire exit polls asked voters if they were gay, lesbian, or transgender. There weren’t enough responses to support anyone.

Alternately, identity politics is really stupid.

Since that would be a heretical hate crime, we have to conclude that the Democrats are a hate group. Their victims are the assorted annoying millionaire candidates who never managed to take off. And they would have, if it weren’t for the incredible hatred lurking in the hearts of the nation’s Democrats.

According to The Atlantic, "America punished Elizabeth Warren for her competence".

How competent was Elizabeth Warren? So competent that she had a plan for everything except losing every primary, including both her home states. Sadly, she even lost Cherokee County. Her enormous competence led her to lie about being an American Indian to advance her academic career and then to try and lie about it again with a DNA test that proves she’s 1/1024th honest. The climax of her competence led her to embrace Bernie’s socialist plan to destroy Medicare while claiming to be a capitalist. Warren was all things to all people and, paradoxically, nothing to anyone. Including women.

Who decided that Warren was competent? The media did.

If Warren is a flake, then so is the media. And the media would rather accuse millions of Democrats of being sexist, racist, homophobes than admit it was wrong. Just imagine what it’ll accuse Americans of.

The last time the media was wrong about an election, it blamed a vast Russian conspiracy, and spent the next few years demanding that Facebook censor every conservative outlet that called it correctly.  Just imagine the complete meltdown that will come upon us in 2020 when it’s proven wrong all over again.   When Biden loses, the media will be forced to accuse the entire nation of ageism and hating the Irish.

*That’s not the correct name of the currency. It’s a joke.

Hillary Clinton Waiting Breathlessly To Replace Biden

By Judi McLeod —— Bio and Archives--March 11, 2020

Theatre of the Absurd Democrat frontrunner, Obama’s ex-VP Joe Biden is going to cure your cancer;  Obama’s ex-secretary of state Hillary Clinton, SARS Savior, has on-the-job experience to save the world from raging Coronavirus.   That’s the current state of out-of-whack affairs in Election Campaign 2020.

Don’t look for any news breaks, because desperado Democrats will alway have rollicking good fun as long as Fake News keeps reality under cover.  “Hillary Clinton mistakenly says SARS epidemic, not swine flu, happened when she was secretary of state. (Washington Examiner, March 9, 2020)

Hillary Clinton misspoke while defending the Obama administration against criticism from President Trump, who claimed that his predecessor made it harder to quickly enact widespread testing for coronavirus. 

“Trump said in an interview last week that the Obama administration “didn’t do anything” as cases of swine flu increased in 2009 and 2010. 

“The Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what we’re doing, and we undid that decision a few days ago so that the testing can take place in a much more accurate and rapid fashion,” Trump said in separate comments Wednesday. 

“In her response to Trump, Clinton mistakenly said the SARS epidemic, which happened in 2003, occurred when she was secretary of state. Clinton led the State Department from 2009 to 2013.

“I don’t think the facts support that assessment,” she told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on Sunday. “In fact, what we do know is that the SARS epidemic, which happened at the very beginning of the Obama administration, because I was secretary of state at the time, really was a full-court press by the administration to be sure that at every level, not only national, state, and local, but globally, the United States was part of the response.”

We know that the “facts” trotted out by Clinton on CNN don’t support HER assessment......To Read More...
 

My Take - Question: How do we know when Hillary's lying? Answer: If her lips are moving, she's lying. 

Misspoke is mistake of memory.  A temporary failure of memory.  We all do it occasionally, especially when under pressure. But in Hillary's case: Lying is on auto-pilot. As for Joe talking to her about being his VP running mate? Joe must have a death wish.   I guess he really didn't understand he was chosen by the Obama team as insurance against assassination

Bernie Has Faded, but Socialism Is Still a Threat

March 5, 2020 by Dan Mitchell @ International Liberty

I would like to think that the election results from Super Tuesday signify a rejection of the evil and destructive ideology of socialism. After all, despite promising the most handouts, Bernie Sanders was defeated in most states and quickly went from being the front-runner to a long-shot candidate.

This chart shows how political betting markets have dramatically changed in the past couple of days. Crazy Bernie (in green) has collapsed with Biden (in blue) has skyrocketed.

Moreover, the other explicitly hard-left major candidate, Elizabeth Warren, saw her support collapse even earlier.

Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal opined today on the implications of this week’s political earthquake.

Before the voting began Tuesday it was conventional wisdom…that something called progressivism was on the march in the U.S., sweeping aside decades if not centuries of belief, history and tradition with a new agenda of wokeness, identity politics and socialism. …Guess what? The voters still get the last word. …Progressives, however much they dominate the culture, keep losing big, competitive elections. …Joe Biden, hardly a commanding presence, is a proxy for Democratic voters’ pragmatism and their doubts about Mr. Sanders, socialism and the American left.

By the way, it’s not just that Crazy Bernie got trounced.

As reported by the New York Times, many hard-left congressional candidates also are being rejected.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez previously suggested that Democrats who were not sufficiently loyal to an emergent brand of progressive politics should have others like her run against them in a primary. She is now suggesting that, exit polling be damned, Mr. Biden’s latest string of successes is because of the strong-arming of corporate lobbyists, something Mr. Sanders has underscored by repeatedly calling Mr. Biden the establishment candidate. But the results speak for themselves. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez threw her weight behind Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez in her Senate primary campaign in Texas to defeat the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s chosen candidate, M.J. Hegar. Ms. Hegar ended up easily outpacing a crowded Democratic field.

All of this is very encouraging, but I’m still worried.

There are three reasons why I’m not brimming with optimism.

First, as explained by Annie Lowrey for the Atlantic, a non-trivial number of young people are enamored with the evil ideology of socialism.

A striking generational divide has emerged. Older people still see socialism and communism as dangerous, authoritarian political systems, whereas younger people are more likely to see them as economic systems, and to care far less one way or another. For millions of potential voters, the Red Scare is no longer so scary. …The simple passage of time explains a lot. Millions of Millennials and Gen Zers were never exposed to the threats of the Soviet Union; they did not live through the fall of the Berlin Wall… A recent poll conducted by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation showed that 36 percent of Millennials have a favorable opinion of communism, as do a quarter of Gen Zers. Roughly half of the members of those two generations have a favorable view of socialism and thinks the government should act as an employer of last resort. One in five Millennials thinks the Communist Manifesto better “guarantees freedom and equality” than the Declaration of Independence and thinks society would be better off if the government abolished private property.

I’ve shared plenty of additional data to confirm this worrisome trend.

Second, older Democrats may not embrace the socialist label, but they have shifted in that direction.  I previously wrote about how even prominent folks on the left agree that Joe Biden is far to the left of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

This graphic from the New York Times illustrates how the rest of the Democratic establishment (as measured by party platforms) has also veered toward statism.

For what it’s worth, the “Median party” line shows the average position of the world’s other political parties, so the takeaway is that America’s Democrats (and the U.K.’s Labour Party) are now further to the left than some of the world’s socialist parties.

Third, while the Republican Party hasn’t moved to the left based on its platforms, I fear that the GOP isn’t motivated today by a Reagan-style belief in limited government and individual liberty.

It’s not just that Trump is a big spender (and a protectionist). Every major Republican in the post-Reagan era has expanded the burden of government and rejected the principles of classical liberalism.

Dutiful Democrat candidates follow orders and self-terminate

March 5, 2020 By Frank Friday

You have to give them credit: the Democrat establishment has carefully cultivated and trained a massive welfare state clientele over the decades, and when the word goes out, boy, does everybody fall in line. This is true even when the designated candidate is the monumentally stupid and corrupt Joe Biden.

This constituency is composed most famously of the long-suffering poor black community — like the folks at the beck and call of Jim Clyburn in South Carolina. It includes lots of poor whites as well, the ones in the Yankee "opioid belt"; they keep places like New England and Minnesota voting blue. Then there are characters like Amy Klobuchar and Mayor Pete, who were on TV saying they were going to fight it out all the way to Milwaukee, until they got the phone call, and then they weren't.

Here in Kentucky, our primary is not for several months. But the orders came down here, too, as they did everywhere, to get behind Old Joe if you know what's good for you...........To Read More

Obama squirms about that Biden endorsement

Imagine having to endorse an idiot...a guy everyone knows you think is an idiot...

March 5, 2020 By Monica Showalter

Now that the Democratic Party has all but consolidated behind decrepit Joe Biden to keep unelectable socialist Bernie Sanders off the top of its ticket, it's worth a snicker to consider President Obama, behind the scenes, suddenly realizing he's going to have to endorse idiot Joe Biden for president, a man he considers unfit for the office.

Obama had withheld his endorsement for his faithful former vice president, which was pretty humiliating for Joe, a man Joe had touted as his "best friend" to the NAACP. Biden claimed he asked for no endorsement, which no one believed. Obama claimed he was waiting till after primaries. The real reason leaked out, though: that Obama doesn't think Biden is up to the job.

According to last August 17's New York Post :............. To Read More

2020 Democrat Presidential Picks of the Crop!

By Rational Db8

You know, there for a while it seemed like even in debates Biden was having massive problems even staying awake... went missing from the campaign trail for awhile, around the time Trump pronounced him "Slo Joe" or "Sleepy Joe"... which really seemed to get his goat.  Then in either the Nevada debate or the one right before it, suddenly he had all sorts of energy and his temper has been notably flaring badly too.... and he can't think straight.

He's always been a little prone to gaffes (more like blatant lies "I'm a guy next door like you, see, I just ate at the restaurant in your neighborhood the other day - never mind that it's been closed for 20 years!"....) But here recently his verbal goofs have been WAY more extreme and common than they used to be - he can't seem to keep anything straight, including what office he's running for, what office others are running for, where his wife and sister are (or which is which), what state he's in, who's interviewing him, and on and on and on....

There's something really wrong with him. And I have to seriously wonder if they put him on meds to give him an energy boost and that's contributing to it, or if he's just seriously progressing into dementia of one form or another.

And this is the Democrat's candidate for President. Talk about horrifying.

It is really incredible that the Dems manage to find this caliber candidate for President time and again, tho! I mean there've been:

• Mini Mike "Big Gulp, Lemme Frisk You - and I'm great at plagiarizing policies" Bloomy,
• Creepy gropin' Uncle Quid Pro Quo Slow Joe 'I love it when kids jump on my lap, rub my wet leg hairs down, and watch it rise again' Biden
• Hillary "Felonia Von Pantsuit - the FBI certified me as too stupid and corrupt to handle national security documents, but I want to be president! Oh, and never mind those thousands of slam dunk felonies to my name" Clinton,
• William "Slick Willy Cigar Teflon" Clinton
• Barack "I'm god and will fundamentally change America into a socialist cesspool AND stop the rise of the seas" Obama,
• Al "I'm such a great con man I can suck hundreds of millions off you rubes by pretending AGW is real even tho I'm scientifically illiterate" Gore,
• Ketchup John "Swiftboat I love conspiring with the enemy" Kerry, sometimes affectionarly known as "Lurch,"
• Bernie "I'm an ancient curmudgeon with no accomplishments to my name other than getting elected, unconstitutional socialist, racist from top to bottom!" Sanders,
• Fauxcahontas,
• Saint Boo-Boo Baby Buttigieg
• Amy "Bobblehead" Klobuchar
• Beto "I'm a fake Hispanic who loved to dress up as a sheep and sing in the worst band ever, when I'm not doing vehicular hit and runs" O'Rourke,
• Cory "Spartacus" Booker, etc., etc., etc.
• And there was Kamala "Sleeping to the Top" Harris

It's mind boggling that out of 340+ million people, these are the BEST the Dems can come up with - and they're willing to actually vote for them!

Well, Super Tuesday is Done! Who Else is Done?

By Rich Kozlovich Updated, March 4, 2020 @ 1:56 PM

Going into Super Tuesday there was a lot of talk that Bernie Sanders was a shoo-in, and that Biden was toast. I thought this was Biden's swan song, even after his huge win in South Carolina, where Bernie was crushed. It appeared to me the Democrat party was going to have to rig something to prevent that, possibly with Bloomberg.

Apparently not!

As we know, prediction is really hard, especially when it involves the future. As it turns out, it appears the Democrat party rank and file were as concerned about a Bernie nomination as the back room boys who run the party.

Biden laughingly claims he will create a more "affable" America. Really? And just how can he do that? Do what Bernie wants and put Trump supporters and all conservatives in training camps? That's what the Chinese communists called concentration camps.

Biden is a dumbler. He's dumb and he's a bumbler. He's clearly losing is ability to grasp reality, but that's always been a problem for him.

And Delaware kept sending him back to Washington every six years.

What's wrong with the minds of America's Northeasterners?

Will this be the end of Bernie? He's becoming unhinged with his condemnation of Israel; his embrace of radical Islamists; his love of Castro and all the other communist monsters of the 20th century and his hate for Trump and Trump supporters, and his desire to strip the wealth from the rich, which means everyone eventually.

Russia, China, Cuba, N. Korea, Venezuela - all examples of admiration by Bernie’s, but all of them are perfect examples of what it means when socialists take over a country. Fascism and Communism are two sides of the same coin, and both lead to tyranny.

And Vermont kept sending him back to Washington, first as House member and then the Senate.

What's wrong with the minds of America's Northeasterners?  

Here are the numbers. Crazy Joe leads with 387 delegates versus Comrade Bernie with 356. It looks like Crazy Joe just might end up with a plurality in Milwaukee. Who will Buttigieg and Klobuchar support? Initially I though Buttigieg would go to Bernie and Klobuchar to Biden. It seems more likely now they'll both support Biden, looking out for their own future interests, and possible positions in a Biden administration.

That leaves Warren and Bloomberg. Will they drop out soon?

(Update:  After blowing a billion dollars, Bloomberg is out and is endorsing Joe Biden. Does that mean he gets Bloomberg's 44 delagates?  RK) 

Warren's running out of money, and it appears the woman so many wanted to run against Hillary turns out to be an even worse campaigner than was Hillary.  As for Bloomberg is really unpopular.  He has a lot of history that's coming back to haunt him, which makes me wonder how someone could be so smart as to become a billionaire but so dumb to think he could run for the presidency with his history.

Now the Democrat leadership doesn’t need Bloomberg as an emergency escape hatch against Bernie, so I think he’s toast. I think they'll both drop out soon and support Biden in hopes he's elected and they'll be rewarded in a Biden administration.

I think the whole bunch of them are delusional about winning the presidency, holding the House and taking over the Senate. But, that's politics, but one thing is clear - this answers my question - Will Super Tuesday Leave Democrats With Dumbler and Dodo?

Will Super Tuesday Leave Democrats With Dumbler and Dodo?

By Rich Kozlovich

On March 1, 2020 Monica Showalter published her article, Fool and his money: Good riddance, Tom Steyer, saying:

The poor wretched monomaniac of greenie virtue now goes the way of Jay Inslee, the qualified, but leftist, governor of Washington state who, like Steyer, was also global warming bore and washed out because of it. You'd think maybe Steyer would have noticed how unimportant this 'sky is falling' greenie cause was with voters by that point, but nope, Steyer continued to sell that snake oil to voters, thinking a barrage of television ads would make them catch on. He never had a clue.

Well, one more down and Buttigieg is about to follow, and the only question about him is, who will get his bounce?  I think Sanders. 

Who will be next? Clearly Klobuchar is running out of money and she had to cancel her Minnesota rally because black protesters jumped on stage to demand she drop out because of a black teen who was sentenced to life in prison for some crime, that we have to assume he committed, while she was the prosecutor.

But what's having actually committed a serious crime have to do with being Woke? Right?

However, this helps demonstrate she has no base to rely on, and black race baiters will run this into the ground. Will she stick around until Super Tuesday on March third? Who knows, but after March third, she's done, and so too will be Warren, who's being dropped like a hot coal for her lack of integrity. Imagine integrity being a factor in this party and amongst this crowd!

As for Bloomberg, he's spent millions of his own money to keep in this race, as did Steyer. But like Steyer, he has no message and has shown he has the moral foundation of quicksand.  He clearly will betray whomever he has to betray, and will pander to whomever he has to pander to, and say what he has to say. He absolutely looks pathetic to Democrat voters.

Bidden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Warren and Sanders are equally guilty of that also, but that’s what Democrat politicians do. That’s their bailiwick. That's what's expected of them. That’s their SOP, Standard Operating Procedure. But Bloomberg is a reconstituted Republican who did things the Democrats condemned, and now he's sooooo sorry he did them. He's toast, and even if he stays in the race, he will not be in any more debates if there are any. Unless of course the Democrats change the rules. Look for that.

That leaves Biden and Sanders after Super Tuesday. A dumbler and a dodo.

Both are dumb as dirt, but Biden is constantly bumbling and babbling, clearly unaware of what he’s saying or even understands what he's talking about.  Making up stories that can easily be exposed as untrue. Does he believe them?  I think he does. Does anyone besides me think that’s scary? That a man who is clearly suffering from some kind of mental disorder is the preferred pick of the Democrat leadership to become President of the United States?  Then again, look at the field! 

The other is also dumb as dirt, and a hypocritical communist lunatic who wants to destroy capitalism and replace it with what exists in North Korea or Venezuela.

Even George Bush the first could have beaten them, and maybe even John McCain could have beaten them.  Although, in the case of either of them, it might have been close, but even with the Democrat lock of voter fraud I think they still could have beaten dumbler and dodo.

Their position on the national debt is to expand it beyond the galactic barrier in order to expand government, raise taxes and take total and complete control over every American's life. From cradle to the grave. And over forty percent of the voting public thinks that's okay.  That's scary.  That is if we believe in polls.  

One more thing. From what I can tell, all of these people, with the possible exception of Bernie, are running out of money, and it’s my understanding that includes Biden. Where does it go from here? I had thought this would become a brokered convention, but that might not be the case. However, if it looks like Bernie is going to run away with this, the Democrats will change the rules in some corrupt way to offset anything Bernie has gained that will give him the nomination.

Talk about Schadenfreude. It is such a delightful sin.

One more, one more thing.  This election will end the backroom boys hold on the Democrat party. Soros and his ilk have poured a lot of money into the far left and their organized efforts to take over the party.  It will become unrecognizable over the next five years.

This election will seal the Democrat party's fate.

Forget Castro, Dem Candidates Are the Authoritarians to Worry About

au·thor·i·tar·i·an·ism: noun - The enforcement or advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom.

Larry O'Connor Feb 27, 2020

With his latest wave of accolades heaped upon homicidal communist dictator Fidel Castro, Bernie Sanders equivocated his praise for Cuba’s “literacy programs” with the reminder that he "happens to believe in democracy, not authoritarianism."

Does he though?

For that matter, do any of the final Democrat candidates for the presidential nomination?
“I believe in Democracy, not authoritarianism” is a strange phrase as it presupposes that democracy is an antonym to authoritarianism. It isn’t, really. Tyranny, totalitarianism, dictatorship, monarchy, those are contradictory systems to democracy.

Democracy is a system of choosing representatives or other elected leaders. Authoritarianism is a system of policies and government programs that could very well be instituted by a democratically-elected political body or leader. And when one examines the policies championed by Sanders and his colleagues on the Democratic presidential ballot, it’s hard to escape their authoritarian tendencies.
Authoritarianism is when an entity or government in authority restricts the liberties and freedoms of individuals under their power and control to enforce a policy or rule........To Read More....

 

Sorry, Democrats: Party's Over

By E.M. Cadwaladr

There is something deeply satisfying about watching the ironically named Democratic Party consume itself at every turn. I have tried to summon up some human pity for the carnage -- but frankly I just can’t.

If Joe Biden weren’t a corrupt, crude, shallow, self-righteous fondler of people’s children I could probably muster some sympathy for him. There he stands behind the bright blue podium, almost dizzy under the lights, recounting past accomplishments no one ever heard of. He is a creature beyond his time -- a sad figure who has made the subtle crossover from predictable dishonesty into agonized dementia. But Joe is a corrupt, crude, shallow, self-righteous fondler of people’s children. His dementia only makes his ugly nature more apparent. I think they park him next to Bernie mainly to ensure he doesn’t shamble over and sniff Amy Klobuchar’s hair. Joe has fallen in the polls and he can’t get up.

The days of formidable Democratic villains like Slick Willie have ebbed away..........Schadenfreude is, perhaps, the most delicious of all sins. .........To Read More....

Can You Feel the Bern?

Berning Down the Democrat Party  Brian C. Joondeph
A new wildfire has ignited in the US, worse than the recent out-of-control wildfires in Australia. This fire, rather than being fueled by dead trees and mismanaged forests, is instead fueled by Trump hatred and near dead politicians wishing to turn America into a communist dictatorship. With the media, entertainment industry, and academia fanning the flames, the fire is raging across America, threatening to “Bern” down the Democrat party. A few unexpected firefighters, like Chris Matthews and James Carville, are warning about the all-consuming fire, but their words are squirt guns against a raging inferno.  More

Bernie Sanders: Last Step in America's Slide to Socialism? Fletch Daniels
There can no longer be any doubt that Bolshevik Bernie Sanders is a runaway freight train with the Democrat establishment tied to the tracks in front of him near a stop called Super Tuesday. Sanders absolutely steamrolled the field in Nevada, creating the sadly funny optic of Joe Biden celebrating like it was 1999, apparently thrilled that Sanders won only around 2.5 times as many votes as he did. If Sanders can keep his Havana daydreaming under control, he will sail to the convention with the lion's share of the delegates provided by actual voters. Considering the voting coalition he pulled together in Nevada and the laws of political momentum, it is a good bet he may secure a majority of delegates and not just a plurality.............More

Hating Trump Can’t Unite the Democrats

By Daniel Greenfield 0 Comments Monday, February 24, 2020 @ Sultan Knish Blog

The Democrat presidential primaries have been a long politically correct apology tour.

Joe Biden was forced to apologize for opposing crime and busing. Bernie Sanders had to offer up
mea culpas for ever being on good terms with the NRA and for questioning open borders, Kamala Harris had to apologize for enforcing whatever passes for the law in California, as did Amy Klobuchar, who also had to apologize for having once supported border fencing and English as the country’s national language.

After jumping into the race, Michael Bloomberg launched his own apology tour for trying to stop gang violence with ‘stop and frisk’, for criticizing Obamacare, and the easy loans that wrecked the economy.

No candidate, no matter how lefty, is ever truly pure enough for the party of the perpetually woke. Any politician old enough to run for the White House also has a history of believing in things like borders, language, biology, math, law and order, free speech, and any other realities that offend the Wokeratti.

Only a candidate who has done nothing except chastely spout radical nonsense can pass the purity test.

That’s why Bernie Sanders, a hack from a minor state who, until being excavated by some Obama campaign people who hadn’t gotten a gig with the Clinton campaign, was an obscure nobody who had done nothing except rename post offices, is leading the Democrat death march to political oblivion.

There may be 48 years worth of difference between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders, but they both have the same amount of experience getting anything done in Washington D.C. The only thing they’ve ever done in his long and her short career is lay out imaginary visions of socialist utopias without having the life skills to change a flat tire, catch a bus, or make their own breakfast.

The Democrats have become a party divided between the moderates, obsessed with destroying Trump, and the socialists, obsessed with destroying the Democrats. The emerging representative of the former is Bloomberg: a billionaire willing to blow through 1.5% of his net worth to stop President Trump. And Bernie represents the vanguard of the oppressed proletariat of Burlington, San Francisco, and Aspen, who are slightly to the right of Castro, but, like their leader, have no clue how to get anything done.

Bloomberg represents the core Dems who don’t care about anything except beating Trump, while Bernie represents the radicals who care less about beating Trump than about beating the Bloombergs.

The average Democrat outside the DNC doesn’t understand this distinction. That’s why Bernie is leading.

In the party’s current electability obsession, any candidate who does well is electable and can beat Trump. That includes Bernie Sanders, a talking horse, and Amy Klobuchar. Biden maintained the lead for so long because he seemed electable. Details like what he actually believed and whether he was playing with a full deck were deemed irrelevant. Those same details also don’t matter when it comes to Bernie.

But that just meant that the Democrats outsourced policy to the radical fringe that cares about issues.

That’s why the 2020 primaries have seen Democrats endorse gun confiscation (Beto O’Rourke), letting the Boston Marathon bomber vote from prison (Bernie Sanders), eliminating private health insurance (Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren), eliminating free speech on the internet (Warren), and taking away the tax exempt status of churches and synagogues that don’t back gay marriage (O’Rourke).

These are not winning issues.

Most Democrats claim they want electable candidates, but they’re going into 2020 with unelectable policy proposals hanging around their necks that will alienate the average voters they need to win.

House Democrats could have changed that, instead they were sucked into the impeachment black hole. And no matter how much Speaker Pelosi resisted, the one part of elected government that the Democrats control is best known for an obsession with Trump and a disinterest in everything else.

Hating Trump isn’t a winning strategy. The post-impeachment polls showed that all too clearly.

But it’s either that or nationalizing health care, confiscating guns, banning churches and letting terrorists vote from prison. And those are even worse platforms to run on than Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The Democrats are now on track to have a nominee who once said, "I don't mind people coming up and calling me a communist” because they didn’t care about anything else except destroying Trump.

And, instead, they’re destroying themselves.

The Democrats have locked their party into only one possible strategy and that’s turning out as much of their base as possible. But turnout signals from the primaries have been mixed and large-scale national events like the Impeachment Eve rallies and the Women’s March fizzled badly with few attendees.

The white suburbanites whose cultural hostility fueled the “resistance” appear to be fading. Despite their hatred of Trump, they’re wary of socialism. And a Sanders win would depress their turnout. But a win by anyone except Sanders will depress turnout by his base of Marxist profs and unemployed vloggers. None of the leading candidates summon much enthusiasm from black voters.

Massive turnout requires a united party. And that was a lot easier when they were uniting against something.

2018 saw great turnout because the Democrats rallied around their common front of hating Trump. But uniting against Trump is very different than uniting behind Bernie, Bloomberg, or any other candidate.

Hatred is a powerful force. But it’s no substitute for leadership.

Republican primaries have seen massive turnout because of support for President Trump. A united party is set to face off against a divided party. And that is very bad news for the subdivided Democrats.

Hatred doesn’t unite political movements. It divides them.

Any political movement that depends on division is inherently fractured. The deeper the divisions become; the harder Democrats hate their common enemy. But underneath that common hatred are a thousand festering hatreds, rivalries and resentments, waiting to break out into internecine warfare.

The Democrats are now at risk of winding up with a brokered conviction because hate divided them.

In the Trump Derangement Syndrome era, the Democrats no longer really stand for anything and are willing to fall for anything, from radical ideologies to billionaires and socialists buying the nomination.

Hatred has hollowed out the Democrats leaving behind nothing but a great empty void.

The primaries are the dark night of the Democrat soul. The party’s soul has fed on poisonous hatred. Morning has come to America. But morning may never come to the Democrats divided in darkness.

South Bend Residents Have a Message for America: Don't Elect Pete Buttigieg

By Rick Moran February 19, 2020

South Bend, Ind., is a grimy industrial city of 100,000 people located on the St. Joseph River. It's known for being the "home" of  Notre Dame University -- which isn't really true since Notre Dame is technically located in Notre Dame, Indiana.

But South Bend, whose second claim to fame is the Studebaker National Museum downtown, is the home of Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. The highly ambitious Buttigieg is seeking the presidency despite serving two terms as mayor of a small city.  A job that most would see as entry-level employment in politics as a stepping stone to the presidency? That's sort of like a burger flipper applying for the CEO position at McDonald's...........

 

When residents of this city’s impoverished West Side reflect on Pete Buttigieg’s two terms as mayor, a few things come to mind:

A spike in violent crime, development that largely ignored the African American community and how their only well-lit street is the one that leads to Notre Dame University.

So how, they wonder, can Buttigieg possibly be trusted to run the country?

“If he’s the next president, I fear for our country. He couldn’t run our city. How can he run the United States?,” said Michelle Burger, 42, a stay-at-home mom who lives in South Bend’s impoverished and predominantly black West Side.

Thoughts on the Debate in Nevada

By Rich Kozlovich

First off let me say I no longer watch debates, even for a few minutes.  I find these candidates are completely unembarrassed for their performances.  I'm not sure if that's true of those who watch. They absolutely have no shame making it hard to stomach it all.  I do admire those who are paid to watch these sickening displays in order to report on them. 

Monica Showalter has been one of my favorite writers because she has a way with words, and she certainly knows how to cut through all the crap into the core of a matter. Her description of the debate starts out like this:

The Democrat debate was an exercise in futility, a bunch of mice scurrying over scraps........Tails entangled together, they also fought each other like a rat-king........

She goes on saying:

....they nattered on about a whole host of irrelevant, stupid stuff you don't hear people talking about in the grocery stores or on the barstools. What they didn't bring up at all was the economy....maybe they're just cowards.....

She ends her article with this:

Trump gets people jobs -- and rising incomes. Anything the Democrats can sell after that feat is miserable gruel. No wonder they're not big enough to bring up the economy.

Andrea Widburg described the event as a sharp focus on the candidates’ personalities, saying:

It wasn’t pretty. They were the six unappealing dwarfs -- Supercilious, Shrill, Angry, Confused, Smug . . . and that unpleasant nameless something that is Klobuchar.

After outlining her views on these "Dwarfs", she concluded:

Not a single person on the stage is a leader or a statesman. Without exception, they are small people, and that’s true with or without standing on boxes. There’s something almost tragic about the fact that the essence of the Democrat Party – the oldest continuously existing political party in the world – has been reduced to these six uninspiring, unqualified people.

 It gets worse. Patricia McCarthy notes how strange this whole clown show has become calling it "a bonfire of their vanities".

Bloomberg beat on Bernie saying:

“We’re not going to throw out capitalism. We tried that. Other countries tried that. It was called communism and it just didn’t work.”

  But as she notes:

 He is right about that but he’s not very likeable and Warren made him squirm when she asked him to release all the women who have sued him from their non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

She notes none of them discuss how they’re going to pay for all the free stuff they’re all saying they’re going to deliver to the nation, nor how they’re going to get Congress to authorize it. None of them talk about the national debt, nor do they wish to talk about how their promises will send that debt into the stratosphere of unpayability and bankruptcy. 

One thing they’re all clear about and agree on: They all hate America, they hate the wealthy, unless it involves their wealth. She makes a point that resonates with me:

It is a mystery how Bernie’s supporters can put up with his relentless hectoring, his whole-arm finger-jabbing and his hatred of any and all persons who have worked hard and succeeded. He despises the people who make the country function……

 Her article clearly outlines they’re all clueless, arrogant, bumbling, economically ignorant, and I include Bloomberg since he seemingly only understands his personal economics, and with the exception of Bloomberg, the rest are mostly unaccomplished in their lives, especially in their political lives.  The author ends her article saying:

This debate was a sad commentary on the quality of the Democrat candidates…..They are angry, hate-filled and tend toward violence which Bernie is hard pressed to disavow……..the NBC audience was packed with Marxist socialists who cheered the five radicals and booed Bloomberg. Chuck Todd was his usual buffoonish self; the moderators had no control over the participants. This debate was not just a bonfire of these candidates’ vanities, it was a “dumpster fire” ” (Paula Boyard).  

On a personal note I hope someone noticed the three articles I presented were all written by women, and one of them cites another female writer.  I did that deliberately!

The woman's vote has traditionally been a huge Democrat constituency. It appears to me the two really big constituencies of the Democrat Party are women voters and black voters. And both of those constituencies seem to despise the Democrat party apparatus, their radical actions and these candidates in particular, and in larger numbers than we've seen in my lifetime.

Maybe that's what it really means to be Woke!

2020 Democrat Nomination for Sale

By Daniel Greenfield 0 Comments Sunday, February 16, 2020 @Sultan Knish Blog

In 2016, Donald Trump proved that money won’t buy you the Republican nomination. In 2020, his likely challengers are proving that not only can you buy the Democrat nomination, but it’s the best way.

Michael Bloomberg is making headlines for spending $300 million on advertising to buy third place. That doesn’t include the $10,000 spent on sushi, $250,000 on furniture, and six figure staffer salaries. With a $61 billion net worth, the billionaire just decided to buy the primaries. And his buying spree is working.

The Dems claim to hate billionaires, but two of them successfully bought into the race, Bloomberg and Steyer, while completely lacking the populist appeal that propelled Trump to the top. The Bloomberg-Steyer spending sprees have set off a dieback in the Dem 2020 race where only those candidates with lots of cash can even compete. Warren’s campaign is crumbling along with her financial prospects.

Steyer is cutting off Biden at the knees in South Carolina and Bloomberg will probably finish him on Super Tuesday. That will leave Buttigieg and Sanders as the only non-billionaires with a real shot.

What makes a socialist from Vermont and the failed mayor of a midwestern city competitive?

Money. Lots and lots of money.

Bernie Sanders raised $25 million in January. Buttigieg put together almost $3 million after Iowa.

While Bernie fulminates about the rich, he’s in second place and rising because he has so much more money to spend than his opponents, including Biden, do. That is the real secret of his success.

The socialist outspent his rivals by $15 million. He blew through $50 million in the final months of the year to buy the surge that put him over the top. In January, Bernie spent $8 million on ads, Buttigieg spent $6.5 million, Warren $5.4 million, while Biden was down to $2.4 million. Spending money doesn't ensure results, but it certainly helps. Buttigieg’s “surprise” was really spending a lot of money.

Bloomberg and Bernie are both elderly New Yorkers with unpleasant personalities and a lot of cash. The distinction between buying an election with your own money or grassroots fundraising is virtue signaling. What does matter is that the 2020 nomination is for sale to those with the money to buy.

Enough money can make otherwise non-viable candidates like Bernie and Bloomy into ‘contendahs’.

Bernie’s fans will argue that his money comes from “small donors”. But what that leaves out is that the small donors are privileged lefties with lots of money to throw at elections. It was enough to buy Iowa, but the caucus results also showed that Bernie has no crossover appeal and isn’t boosting turnout.

Both Bernie and Buttigieg benefit from the same kind of money machine printed by an enthusiastic fan base. And the fan base sees the two men, less as viable presidential candidates, and more as a means of mainstreaming a larger campaign that they care about even more than winning an election. Bernie’s fans would trade losing the 2020 election for a takeover of the Democrats. That’s always the agenda.

And much of Buttigieg’s cash flow has come from gay donors who care less about him winning than about his presence on a national stage. Unlike the donors of the other 2020 candidates, who fold when their candidate stops being viable, the money machines funding Sanders and Buttigieg will never stop.

Much like Bloomberg and Steyer’s cash machines.

Bloomberg’s $61 billion fortune is formidable, but so is the net worth of Bernie and Buttigieg’s bases.

Biden’s donors have always been shaky. They’re investors, looking to buy influence, and aren’t going to sink good money after bad. They’re not going to keep spending money because they want to see Joe kissing little girls on the lips in Florida, groping matrons in Minnesota, or slurring speeches in South Carolina. Biden’s only real shot was sealing the deal out of the gate. And now he’s in trouble.

In the final quarter of the years, Sanders and Buttigieg both outraised Biden. Warren nearly did.

Where Trump had underspent his primary rivals, his prospective opponents are outspending them. And that’s good news for Trump and bad news for the Democrats who are going to be fighting a populist who got to the White House by beating money machines with another money machine candidate.

The Dem spending race is one reason why candidates who might have taken off with minority voters never got much traction. Building primary debates and fundraising around small donors allowed the passionate wealthy fanbases of Sanders and Buttigieg, or even Yang and Warren, to dominate the race. Meanwhile candidates who might have appealed to black voters never even got off the ground.

The two black candidates originally in the race, Harris and Booker, had little support in the black community, and had instead gotten as far as they did by cultivating wealthy white donors, Harris on San Francisco’s Nob Hill, and Silicon Valley and Manhattan for Booker, without ever building a black base.

They never did manage to pick up enduring black support in the race before their cash ran out.

If Biden collapses, the Democrats risk going into the 2020 race with a candidate who doesn’t appeal to black voters. That description covers Sanders, Bloomberg, and Buttigieg to varying degrees. And, without vigorous black turnout, the odds of a Democrat winning the White House are longer than long.

You can buy the nomination, but you can’t buy enthusiasm outside your narrow fanbase.

Bloomberg, at least, understands that and is going about buying the election in the most direct fashion. He’s avoided the debate stage until now, his campaigning is limited, and instead he’s spending a fortune on ads. He’s also paying influencers to tweet positively about him and, probably, buying endorsements.

The billionaire is trying to buy the nomination the same way his rivals are. He’s just not ashamed of it.

Bloomberg blew off the farce of the Iowa caucuses, the trek through New Hampshire diners, the pretense that this is about anything other than the thing he has more of than almost anybody else on the planet. Media bias? Bloomberg, the media outlet, is open about its campaign bias for its boss.

If this goes on, the 2020 primaries could narrow down to a battle between two deeply cynical campaigns headed by two New Yorkers, one a plutocrat and the other a socialist, with piles of money, and deep contempt for the process and the leadership of the party whose nomination they’re contesting.

Bernie Sanders isn’t a Democrat, except when running for the party’s nomination. Michael Bloomberg ran New York City as a Republican because the party was available and he bought it and a few others.

The 2020 Democrat nomination could very well come down to a race between two men who aren’t really Democrats, don’t care about the party, and are bypassing and trashing it at every opportunity.

The Sanders campaign is just the tip of the spear for a radical leftist takeover of the Democrats. Its base is animated by paranoia, malice and rage. Any primary Sanders loses must have been rigged. And every negative mention of Sanders is a neo-liberal conspiracy. They hate the Dems and the hatred is mutual.

At the 2016 convention, I spoke to Democrat delegates who, anonymously, voiced fear and distaste of the “crazy people”, as they often called Sanders supporters. Meanwhile, Sanders backers in Philly spoke of supporting the Green Party. No wonder, President Trump is cheerfully egging on the paranoia of the Sandernistas, convinced that the process is rigged against them, partly because it is, and partly because they’re projecting what they would do on to their opponents as totalitarian movements always do.

Bloomberg doesn’t have a campaign. He bought one by paying everyone working for him more. There’s no movement here. But, if Biden and Buttigieg fall, he becomes the default candidate of other Dems.

And Bloomberg’s political career comes down to spending enough money to be the default candidate.

In a field of terrible candidates, he aspires to be the boring candidate that the battered DNC spouses will settle for, who can buy a general election the way that he’s trying to buy the primaries. It’s cynical.

But so is the whole race.

What does it say about Democrats that they’re being bought? All the billionaire bashing, the attacks on Wall Street and Silicon Valley, the small donor qualifiers for the debate stage and the PAC virtue signaling were meant to establish that they weren’t about money, but about ideas and principles.

But much of the party, in poll after poll, appears to be willing to vote for anyone who will stop Trump.

It doesn’t matter if he’s a socialist or a plutocrat, or a guy with hair plugs deep in his brain. Democrats have shown that they have the same set of standards as any gold digger: a lot of money and a pulse.

In the polls, Democrats have shrugged off any interest in nominating a black person or a woman. They don’t especially care about policies. Their only concern is with electability and retaking the White House. And electability means a big campaign machine, a lot of ads, a lot of publicity, and a lot of money.

Billionaires are trying to buy the nomination because the Democrats prostituted their party. They put themselves up for sale to the highest bidder in a desperate effort to stop President Trump.

They didn’t expect a guy with $61 billion to show up.

But, after all the virtue signaling, just like any gold digger, they’re sending the message that he’ll do.

What Iowa Tells Us About the Democratic Party

They coddled the far Left, encouraged it, embracing its small donor base and grassroots activists, never thinking that the beast might actually want more than just platitudes and scraps: it might actually want to be in power and consume its supposed masters.

Ned Ryun February 8th, 2020

What a week for Donald Trump: the Democrats’ debacle in Iowa, his triumph of a State of the Union address, his resounding acquittal by the Senate, his highest approval rating yet in the Gallup poll—which exceeds Obama’s at this point in his first term. While the November elections are three lifetimes away, politically speaking, Trump’s reelection chances are looking pretty good. Which brings us back to Iowa and the question of who will be his opponent in the fall.

The only thing that now appears to be a near certainty is that it will not be Joe Biden.

As I have been saying repeatedly on TV and in op-eds for months, the idea that a complete mediocrity like Biden—never the brightest bulb, and someone who clearly has lost three steps—would be the nominee was ludicrous on its face.........The former vice president, the establishment’s great hope, got beaten by a Commie lover, a mayor of a smaller Midwestern city, and a fake Indian. While he apparently won two delegates, so far in Biden’s three runs for president, he’s won precisely two delegates total..............

As reality crashes in on Democrats, which is surely an unusual feeling as they live in an alternate universe of denial, they will have to confront the fact that they have created this entire mess..............  To Read More.....

My Take - Paraphrasing actor James Woods on the Iowa votes:  The Democrats have cheated on elections so long they can't even elect themselves.

The Democrats: A Corrupt, Insane Posse Masquerading as a Political Party

February 9, 2020 By Clarice Feldman

Eleven years ago, the writer Michael Walsh wrote (under his penname David Kahane) “Think of the Democratic Party as it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.”

After the Democrats’ Russia, Kavanaugh, Mueller, and Ukraine fiascos, the Iowa caucus debacle, and Friday’s bizarre Democratic debate, I think we need to update it: It’s a Criminal, Insane Posse masquerading as a political party.

The week began with an outstanding, uplifting, and inspiring State of the Union address by the President before a joint Congress. Among the House delegates were a gaggle of Democratic congresswomen dressed in white who insist they are strong, independent, capable, and worthy to lead. They stood, clapped, or sat in unison at signals from Speaker Pelosi who sat behind the President, mouthing words to some imaginary friend and moving her mouth reminiscent of someone on psychotropic drugs. (Message: I am woman -- hear me meow chasing the laser red dot.) At the conclusion of the speech she stood and ripped up her copy of the SOTU address in small packets either because she lacked strength to rip it all in one batch or for dramatic effect. To say the Democrats’ behavior was disconsonant with any message of sober adult solons is to understate it.........To Read More....

The Seven Dwarfs on the debate stage

February 8, 2020 By Patricia McCarthy

The grueling debate Friday night on ABC was actually sad for the seven debaters, with the exception of Andrew Yang, for they all are panderers of the first order.  They all say only what they think their potential supporters want to hear.   There are few core beliefs among them. 

 

They all seem either ignorant or in serious denial of the countless successes of the Trump administration because they all simply deny them.  They are each depending, as usual, on their conviction that all Americans are very stupid and unable to discern between the truth and their lies meant to terrorize unwitting citizens about health care, global warming and President Trump.  

 

There was not an honest broker on that stage except Yang and he has no chance of being the nominee because is a relatively normal human being.  The debate brought to mind Disney's Snow White and the Seven

Dwarfs (1937).  

Among the dwarfs, Yang would be Happy.  

Poor Joe Biden! He is Sleepy..........

Elizabeth Warren is Dopey!........

Grumpy is of course Bernie Sanders. ...........

Who is Sneezy, aka Sleazy?  That would be Mayor Pete Buttigieg,..........

Amy Klobuchar must be Bashful...........

So Steyer must be the self-appointed Doc............

These seven dwarfs are just that, political and intellectual dwarfs who favor power over freedom and liberty. Given President Trump's many successes over the past three years, not one of them has a chance of beating him. When Joe Biden called for honoring the insubordinate Vindman instead of Rush Limbaugh, he lost nearly every American who lives between the coasts. Jonathan Karl was correct when he said that not one of the seven on stage Friday night has the Trump campaign "quaking in their boots." ........To Read More....
