“SEAL Team” finally returns Wednesday night on CBS. We are big big fans of this show.

Warren criticizes Bloomberg "for not having the core support of the Democrat Party."

This criticism coming from a woman who owns only 10% of "core Democrats."

150,000 . . . . . . . . . million dead?

Joe Biden Claims A Whopping 150 Million People Have Been Killed By Guns Since 2007

Does he not remember that Barack was president during eight years of this time?

Does he not know that more than half of those who died by gun fire since 2007 were suicides? 

And 150 million?  that's half the nation.

Why does he say such things.  

Two days ago,  he said, "I am Joe Biden and I am running for the Senate."  

CPAC beginning today. Half of the attendees will be young and college age youth.

Have you noticed the large numbers of young peope in attendance at the Trump rally's?  So don't tell me me have lost the youth vote.  As large a population as with the Dems?  No,  but impressive, nonetheless.

The general feeling about the negative impact of a Bernie nomintion is . . . .

Yes, the Chris Matthews of the world are worried about losing the "down ticket" if Bernie is the nominee.  Question:  Didn't that happen with the Obama presidency?  I mean,  Barack's presidency caused the Democrat Party big time:  immediate lose of the House (2010),  eventual lose of the Senate,  lose of more than 1,200 Democrat seats nationwide, and the weakest party since reconstruction (1865) .

Here is our responce to Bernie's China brag:

Bernie admits that China is a totalitarian state but adds this:  China has taken more people out of poverty than any other nation in history "and that's a good thing."

Editor:  understand that with this statement,  Bernie is making the case for the benefits of a government controlled society.   His implicit/subtle support of socialist societies,  even if totalitarian and brutal, make it clear he would be more accepting of Russia  China,  Venezuela, or the socialized European Union than previous administrations including Brack Obama's. 'nough said.

Next Democrat Debate? This coming Tuesday night. (no article)

Bernie's big mistake may be in the asking of this question: Can you think of one way that Bernie Sanders is signaling respect to voters outside of his base?

NY Times:   The last four presidents — Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump — are four very different politicians. But they have one crucial similarity: They all tried to appeal to voters who weren’t obvious supporters.

The Times pretends that Barack was similar to other presidents in terms of his willingness to seek out voters not previously disposed to vote for him.  In 2011,  Barack made it clear that he was no longer concerned about the working class of Middle America.  that pool of voter is now more than 63 million strong and growing ~ editor.

Clinton promised a “third way,” distinct from traditional Democratic or Republican policies. Bush ran on compassionate conservatism. Obama said that red and blue America shared more in common than pundits claimed.
Even Trump, radical as he is, flouted Republican orthodoxy by sounding like a populist Democrat on Social Security, Medicare and trade. Polls showed that voters judged Trump to be more moderate than any Republican nominee since the 1970s.
The art of peeling off voters — those in the middle or those who aren’t ideological — may be the most important skill in politics. It doesn’t require a mushy centrist policy agenda, either. Trump has made that clear   . . . .    understanding that politics is inescapably performative. Voters respond to signals. They respond to gestures of respect from politicians who are willing to say, in effect: We may not agree on everything, but I see you and understand what matters to you.
The newly energetic American left has largely rejected this approach, choosing instead to believe a comforting myth about swing voters being extinct and turnout being a cure-all. It’s a big mistake.

Before going further, I want to make clear that this is not a column urging Democrats to return to Clintonian centrism. I’m making a different case — that the left is hurting its own ability to win elections and enact sweeping change, by insisting on an orthodox version of progressivism.
To put it another way: Can you think of one way that Bernie Sanders is signaling respect to voters outside of his base?

He has taken a nearly maximalist liberal position on every major issue. It’s especially striking from him, because he has shown over his career that he grasps the importance of building a coalition.
Sanders once won over blue-collar Vermonters with help from a moderate position on guns. “We need a sensible debate about gun control which overcomes the cultural divide that exists in this country,” he said in 2015, “and I think I can play an important role in this.” He was also once an heir to organized labor’s skepticism of large-scale immigration. “At a time when the middle class is shrinking, the last thing we need is to bring over in a period of years, millions of people into this country who are prepared to lower wages for American workers,” he said in 2007.

CBS (emphasis on BS) gave us this poll for the South Carolina Dem primary. Lets tack this poll in light of the actual voting results.

Feb 22

Biden  28%
Bernie 23%
Steyer 18%
Warren 12%
Buttigieg  10%
Klobuchar 4%

Just imagine an evil previously happy ex drowning in the backyard pool and you standing behind a curtain, knowing no one sees you there, laughing while she drowns. Well, that's me watching the Dems go down for the count.

LAS VEGAS – Moderate Democrats watched in horror as Bernie Sanders soared to a landslide victory in Nevada.
It wasn't the win that was surprising — it was the walloping Sanders gave his opponents, his ability to dominate among Latino voters, and the momentum he gained moving into South Carolina and Super Tuesday. The performance sent already worried Democrats into a full-blown panic. 


South Carolyna may not be the kick starter Biden was hoping it would be.



What is the future in Democrat Primary Politics?

To answer the headline question,  this editor believes we are already well down the path to a divided or contested convention.  And in that reality, the Democrat's hope for a presidential victory is all but lost.  

Of course,  of course,  of course,  nothing is ever written in stone when it comes to politics,  BUT on this side of the final decision,  here is what we know.

Nevada Caucus Results:  Bernie with 47% of the vote;  Biden in a distant 2nd with 19%;  Buttigieg with 15% and Warren with 10%.  

The difference between Biden and the other two losers is not percetages,  but rather,  South Carolyna.  Biden is reportedly strong in that state.  Buttigieg and Warren are not and that is what keeps Biden in the race.

If Bloomberg picks up 400 or more deligates between now and the convention,  the Democrat Convention will be a divided house for the first time in a long long time,  period.  And no one really knows how that will work in terms of outcomes.  

I mean to say,  if Bernie does not surrender his delegates,  and the anti-Bernie mafia stands resolute ,  well,  again,  what comes next?  And how is any of this anything but a electoral disaster for the Dems?  

Understand that there are only three Democrat hopefuls remaining:  Sanders,  Biden and Bloomberg.  And none of the three will have enough delegates to win the nomination.  Enter Hillary?  Or, Mrs. Obama?  Maybe Mitt will make his split from the GOP official and try to capture the Democrat nomination?? 

For us conservatives,  the Democrat Convention is going to be fun to watch.  And the Dems only have themselves to blame. 

Probably the biggest lie being told during the Democrat Primaries is . . . . .

Sanders is busy telling his mind-numb audience that that the Green New Deal will create 20 million high paying jobs  . . . .   an outrageous lie. 

The corporate community (and its related "fat cat" population) create 60% of all jobs in this country.  Warren/AOC/Sanders would rid the nation of the corporate class.  In this  another massive lie is being pushed forward and that is this:  the federal government creates jobs.

Another outrageous lie being told is this:  The creation of wealth on an individual basis is a zero sum game.  If Bloomberg has 47 billion dollars in wealth,  that is 47 billion that is not availble to anyone else.    But,  of course,  few on the Left even understand "zero-sum game."  Just know this:  the poor are not poor because Bernie or Bloomberg have personal wealth. 

Heck.  "They" don't even believe their own styck.   Bernie owns three homes and 3 million dollars of wealth AND wants to accumulate more wealth and a couple of more homes.  Warren is worth 3 million as welll.  Biden has earned more than 50 million since the end of the Obama/Biden Administration. Who knows how many millions the Obamas have or Hillary, or John Kerry or Al Gore.  We know this,  however:  these folks are multi-millionaires because of the roles they have played within the government  (well,  maybe not true for gold-digger Kerry).

So think about all this when Sanders is bragging about all the free stuff he is going to give you.

Good news from Gallup

For the first time during his presidency,  Trump's favorbility numbers are not inverted.  A 49% positive number versus a 48% negative.

Only 1% of the population is concerned with election integrity.

Only 0.5% are concerned about Russian interference.   

Great headline news and it is about time.

Pro-Trump NSC Staffer Kash Patel Tapped to Serve as Senior Advisor to Grenell to “Clean House” at ODNI

Look,  Trump will not get rid of all the thousands of progressive agents within our Intel community,  but he can ceertainly get rid the progressive leadership that is running this country,  or should I say, "ruining" this country?

But for the obvious bias of the jury, I would say "Yes, Roger Stone got what he deserved."

I believe that Stone probably would not be in the mess he is in if not for the faux prosectuion of Trump,  but, all legal sources agree (conservative sources) that there was a mountain of evidence against Stone.

The problem with his conviction is rather obvious, however:  The jury foreman was/is a Trump hating black activist.  In fact,  she is on record with her hatred of Trump.

So, in reality,  the question is not about his conviction and sentencing.  Rather, it is about his demand for a fair trial.  It should go without saying that extreme bias in a jury trial should never exist.  Stone had the right to be judged by a jury of his peers.  And while that does not mean "a jury of his friends,"  it certainly does not mean "a jury of those who already hate the man."   

Again,  the question is not about his conviction but, rather, about the fact that he did not get a fair trial. 

There was a time when even the Left agreed that Russian interference failed

Trey Gowdy Doesn't Believe That Russia Would Help Trump Against Bernie Sanders

 There was a time, just three years ago when even the Left agreed that Russian interference failed to change the voting outcome of the 2016 election, and when I say "the Left" I intend to include the leadership in the FBI (especially James
Comey),  NCS (and Director Clapper), and the CIA (John Brennan)

the Dems have no "bumber sticker" memorial.

Ronald Reagan - shining city on a hill

George H Bush -  1000 points of light

Bill Clinton  -  Man from Hope

GW Bush  -  Experienced leadership for America's future

Obama -  Hope and change

Trump  -  Make America Great Again


Of course this positive message void will be filled after the Dems choose a candidate,  but,  as things stand today,  that party is being hurt via its gross negativism and in-fighting. 

Socialism versus communism - what's the difference and how does this all compare to the Trump economy?

Having trouble defining the difference between socialism and communism?  Maybe it's because there is no practical difference. 

Under Trump,  taxes went down for most sectors of the American  including Big Business, small business and single owner/private business,  and a $1,000 cut in taxes per the 78 million  child. 

In terms of dollar and cents,  we have 33 million two parent families,  11 million single parent families,  all receiving a total of $78 billion dollars in tax savings (that is what a $1000 tax credit per child looks like in the Trump economy).

Note:  If you do not have children living at home,  quite frankly,  you did not get much of a  tax cuts, but,  for the 77 million American parents,  your tax break was between one and two thousand dollars per parent. 

My point?  Kiss all of this "good-bye" if a Democrat is elected as president.  And I say this because none of the six clowns on the debate stage in Vegas are promising a continuation of the tax break to the nation's working-class families with the possible exception of Bloomberg  (and he has not revealed his tax plans for the Blue Collar working class).   

Now you know.

Here is the funny thing about Democrat politics as we watch the death of this influencial party.

Sooner or later,  assassination politics comes back to destroy them.  Now,  at a time when defeating Trump is most critical to the Socialist Progressives,  the party is markedly divided at its core. 

On one hand,  we have Commie Bernie ranting against corporations and Big Money, and, on the other hand  we have the marriage of Big Money to the Democrat Party and its need to fund its social welfare programs.  

After decades of poisoning it's base,  the Dems have finally arrived at the end of the road.  It is time to choose which way it will go and remain in power doing so.  And in that choice,  we are watching a Democrat Party about to fail. It needed to stay on course with its determined incrementalism.  Instead,  Barack came on the scene and blew up "incrementalism,"  maybe 20 years too soon (from their point of view).   

In terms of the coming vote,  the Dems have millions of Millennials who will not vote against socialism, and,  without that base,  the Dems cannot win a national election   . . . . .  at least,  that is my theory.

Understand that this demand for socialism is a generational issue,  a problem that will plague the party for a couple of decades  . . . .  plenty of time for the population to witness socialism up close and personal.   

Of course no one on the Left will care, but Barack was nothing but a hardcore community organizer on par with a Mafia Don.

Dershowitz: I Have Proof Obama Ordered FBI Investigation At Request Of George Soros

 


In an interview on Mexican television, Biden just made this point concerning deportations under Obama:

In an interview on Mexican television with Jorge Ramos, Biden just made this point concerning deportations under Obama:  "I think it (deportations) was a big mistake and it took too long to get it right."

Editor's notes:  Me?  I think this comment was a big mistake for Biden.  He is a dunce, plain and simple.  Oh,  and  kiss-off an endorsement from Barack. 

While know-nothing Obama brags about the economy being his, here are a few facts. I call this National Finance for Dummies.

Update/Preface: before reading the following brief,  understand that there are two critical issues in jump-starting a struggling economy:  A) limiting regulations that directly affect businesses bottom line, and B) reduce the tax demand on the business community.  there are other important considerations,  of course,  but these two ma most critical.  Obama could have cut regulations and reduced taxes in 2011 resulting in the kind of economy we are now witnessing.  Had he done so,  Hillary would have won in 2016.  

For starters,  Barack did inherit a terrible economy.  But he was all about deception as a "solution."  

Case(s) in point.  After he started planting signs claiming infratructure successes,  I found a sign planted at a bridge I helped build back in 1974,  almost 40 years before he became our president.  there weere signs along Highway 180 claiming his money as the reason for new construction   . . . .    signs erected 3 years after the highway project was planned, approved, and in the first stages of construction  How many hundreds of such signs were planted across the nation if two weere found within an hours drive of my home.  

He was the first and only president to issue job count after job count under the heading "new and saved."  Trump has claim to 7 million jobs since he was sworn into office.  New and saved?  Well,  that would put his jobs count above 20 million.   

Within 24 hours of being sworn into office,  the Market began its history climb to record heights 

Barack and Biden labeled the summer of 2010 as the "summer of recovery."  Problem;  unemployment continued to rise to 10% during that summer,  the work force fell to its lowest levels in 30 years;  poverty rates skyrocketed and consumer confidence was through the floor.  Contrast this with Trump's participation rate at its highest in 51 years,  4 million more workers than avaiable jobs,  a manufacturing sector growing at 3.7%  versus Obama's 1.6% rate.  

Barack told the nation that manufacturing was dead.  Trump sure fooled him.  I could go on and on,  ou know the truth.  I mean most of you were alive during that dark time.  

Let the Dems run on the Trump economy.  They will be destroyed in the coming national debate.  

Are you as tired of this Commie's anger as I am? Oh, and by the way, we dod not need his brand of radical reform.

You know by now that Sanders honeymooned in Moscow.  What you might not know is this: Moscow,  at the time,  was a Communist city in Communist Russia.   So when you read me saying,  "Sanders is a freaking communist,"  you will understand the truth of what I write.

Trump Commutes Sentence For Ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich

In the following headline, we have, yet, another hopeless effort at reorganizing our federal systems to meet with their world view.

Democrats hope to limit president’s powers to recall ambassadors

Dems want to get rid of the electoral college,  allow for illegal alien voting, increase the Supreme Court to 15 members in a more than obvious effort to pack that court with Progressive judges, and now,  to limit Presidential power.   Their claims to being  "patriots" are as hollow as their pledge of allegiance to our national interests. 

 


About those 2000 who signed the petition criticizing Willam Barr for recommenting:

About those 2000 DOJ "associates" ("ass."  for short) signing that petition criticising Willam Barr,  they are all members of the Democrat Party (in spirit if not in fact),  all a part of the Progressive effort to move this country into the global/world-without-borders community.  

Their signing only proves the overwhelming size of the Progressive force within the Intel community.  

For the record,  "we" have had 12 years of so-called "conservative" presidents in Bush 41 and  and GW Bush 43.  These  two "conservatives" did absolutely nothing to reverse the globalist trends set in motion over the past 50 years  . . . . .   and millions of folks like me voted for and support these men  . . . . . made us all look like fools. 

Each man supported high-risk lending,  "Affordable housing" for all,  abortion (approving the RU486 pill),  the persecution/prosecution of Christianity at all levels, each allowed for the notion of a "living" Constitution all the while mending fenses with those who have no respect for our Constitution, the sovereignty of our nation nor the national systems it governs. 

Trump is only doing what his conservative predecessors only pretended to be about and that was the preservation of Patriotism in our once great nation. 

So, sentencing may not go well for Roger Stone, but, for certain, he does not deserve a sentence longer than a rapist would get.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson DECLINES Request for New Roger Stone Trial — Sentencing Scheduled for Thursday

Look, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars defending himself is sentence enough.  So, after Trump exhonerates him, don't start pretending that Stone "got off scott free."  

After the FBI stormed his home at 6 am,  guns drawn with  two hours spent tearing the inside of home to pieces, Trump should absolutely pardon this man.   'nough said.

How many times have we Conservatives been promised investigative results? Add this headline to that long long list (?)

DOJ Investigating If Obama Admin Hid, Manipulated Info On Russian Meddling, Report Says

McCabe exhonerated and Vindman promoted to a military college: The only justice in all this will come in November or there will be no justice at all.

Update:  The recent letter recommending that A.G. William Barr step down, signing by 1,100 Intel associates and analists (many of them Media related)  proves the point of this post and our claim of massive massive corruption within the Ingtel Community.  

Vindman, McCabe,  and the rest of the antiAmerican Progressive cabal  have their reward  -  a massive and demonstrable failure at every level from the secret courts (i.e. FISA) to the fact that these agencies have become extensions of the Progressive conspiracy to take this great nation into a borderless world of globalist concerns and alliances with those who have been considered our enemies by all Administrations prior to Barack Obama's.

Our conclusion?  Corruption exists at every level in our government, especially the FBI And CIA agencies.    Beginning with J Edgar Hoover, corruption within the FBI was so embedded within that institution from its beginnings  that the Director's position following Hoover was limited to a single 10 year term. 

The recent scandal to change election outcomes has torn the cover off the fantasy that our Intel agencies are more the moral institutions than other sectors of our society.  This evolving scandal,  an actual coup effort, proves the corruption of the FISA process, FBI leadership, CIA leadeership, and the blatant abuse of political and agency power demonstrated over the past three years. 

Take it to the bank,  leadership within our Intel agencies is no more moral than the politicians who order and condone authoritative abuses.  

Now you know.
 

The Border Wall is a remarkable tribute to the "never say die" attitude of Donald Trump

Pentagon Moving $3.8 Billion From Weapons Programs to Fund Southern Border Wall

The Border Wall is a remarkable tribute to the "never say die" attitudfe of Donald Trump.  Understand that the Left is determined to destroy Donald Trump, the man, his marriage,  his children and the very public that voted him into office. 

In fact, the "Border War" and "Impeachment"  have never been about either.   These are only vehicles the New York globalist/progressive crowd are using to secure  the total humiliation of Donal J Trump  . . . .  nothing less, nothing more. 

 What you may not know is this: The effort to destroy Trump has been the first and foremost orchestrated effort of the old time New York political class.  They have known Trump for decades.  He has been a chief donor to most of them including Hillary, Gerald Nadler and those in the NorEastern District Attorney's offices. But more than being a donor,  these New Yorkers (including Trump)  all "grew up" together.  They know each other inside out.  And that is exactly why they were talking about denying him the presidency since long before he ran for President. 

You should understand that Trump was a "known quantity" to the classless community living next door to him since his childhood days.  They know him complete with all his scandals and evolving political leanings.  And, he knows them, which buttons to push,  and how to navigate  around all the crap they have  thrown at him for decades.   He has been a master at imposing his will since forever. 

One thing for certain,  Trump has never been a globalist or a "Progressive" in the modern-day sense of that word.  Nor has he ever been a partisan.  And because of all this,  he came onto the political scene as an "enemy" to the Establishment (GOP  and Democrat).  

The DC political class in both parties never considered that Trump is the irresistible force that we all now know him to be  . . .    bigger than life,  agenda driven,  and unwilling to accept "no" as an answer to much of anything.  

Trump has always known his enemies.  He has always been fully aware of the power of the local media (aka The New York Times) and,  in these two realities,  he came to D.C.  as the perfect candidate to stop the overwhelming influence of those who have no respect for a foundational view of the US Constitution. 

 

U.S. leads the world in reducing CO2 emissions

The United States led the world in tacklng CO2 emissions last year while combining that singular success with solid economic growth, a new report reveals.

It has also been confirmed while the U.S. was hitting its climate goals, at the same time “80 percent of the increase in CO2 emissions came from Asia and that China and India both contributed significantly” to global increases.

Breitbart News

About the Roger Stone conviction and sentencing recommendations:

WASHINGTON (AOL) — Legal experts and former federal prosecutors say the Justice Department’s reversal of the sentencing recommendation for President Trump’s former campaign adviser is an extraordinary development that could have a long-term impact on public perception of federal law enforcement’s independence from political interference.
Roger Stone, a longtime friend of Trump, was convicted last November for lying to Congress, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. The Justice Department overruled the seven-to-nine-year sentencing recommendation prosecutors made in the case.
The controversy over Stone’s sentencing deepened this morning when President Trump took to Twitter to congratulate Attorney General William Barr for “taking control of a case that was totally out of control and perhaps should not have even been brought.”

Editor:  You should know that Roger Stone was convicted of lying to Congress,  or, to put it differenctly,  convicted of lying to a den full of liars.   There was no harm done nor are there any "victimes."

The avereage penalty served for a first offense of rape where "rape" is the only crime is 4 years.  Stone was given a 9 year sentence  . . . .  for lying to a pack of liars.  His prosecutors were all anti-Trump folks.  Stone is 70 years old.  A life sentence , in his case "seven years in jail," was recommended for one reason only,  that he was a Trump administrator at one time.    

A very reasonable "next step" would be a Presidential commuting of Stone's sentence.  Understand that a pardon or exoneration is one thing.  A computation leaves the guilty verdict in place as a matter of record, but, allows Stone freedom from an unfair sentencing outcome.  

Sounds good to me.  I am always on the side of fairness.

While you try to evaluate the New Hampshire primary results, think about this:

In 2016,  Bernie won New Hampshire with 151,000  votes.  Last night,  Bernie won with a little over 70,000.`

Update: Early reporting on FoxNews spoke of New Hampshire voting as a near-record,  but this morning  (Wednesday), on Outnumbered,  the Democrat representative on the panel  mentioned a low turnout as an accepted fact.  

Fox News "satisfaction" ratings:

If the following candidates won the Democrat nomination  . . . . .

74% would be satisfied with Buttigieg,  67% with Klobuchar, 67% with Sanders, but only 48% with Joe Biden.  

Related editorial note:  I have lived long enough to confirm that,  in most cases,  what self-serving and dishonest politicans want most  (whatever that is),  is denied to them in the end.  Hillary and Biden are perfect examples  . . . . . .  they both want ultimate power,  both are crooks to the highest order,  and both have been or are being denied the ultimate power they seek  . . . . . .  and this is a truth that is more often a reality than not. 

Bobbly Jindal gives us our quote of the week: (as we dicuss liberal silliness)

Democrats want a prophet, not a President.  They hold dogmatic beliefs that are impervious to contradiction by logic, evidence or experience,  and cultivate a moreal superiority toward unbelievers.  The party that loudly prides itself on tolerance   . . . . . increasingly intolerant.

 Editor: "Impervious to   . . .  logic"  includes free college and healthcare costing 8 trillion per year in unsustainable debt.  They claim to be the party of science while believing that men can become womens,  that trangenderered women (aka "men") should have abortion rights. 

They completely ignore that fact that there is no such thing as "tide-rise"  (a critical event to the global warming doctrine),  or,  Hawaii, the Panama Canal,  all ocean/border communites world wide and virtually every island in our several oceans would already be under water. 

Finally,  they believe that the accumulation of wealth is both evil and a zero sum game.  But if "wealth" is more than dollar bills,  anyone can accumulate or add to their wealth, some more than others of course.  And by "zero sum game"  I am saying that because Tom Steyer and Mike Bloomberg are trillionairs does not mean that the remainder of the world's population cannot add to it's wealth circumstance.  In other words,  because Bloomberg has trillions does not mean that there is that much less wealth available to others.  

And if I am wrong, please tell me how much wealth is available to the rest of us after Steyer and Bloomberg "steal" our availble wealth?  I argue that because no one,  and I mean "no one," can quatify available wealth,  is evidence that there is plenty of wealth to go around, even if quantified as a zero-sum reality..

Biden came in behind Warren and both finished in the single digit percentage brackets  . . . .  they are done accorning to a majority of Democrat pundits.  Time will tell but it is certainly isan uphill battle for both Warrenand Biden.  

In the meantime,  President Trump took in 117,549 votes to the Walsh vote (775 and Walsh has ended his ridiculous campaign).  

Understand that the voters in New Hampshire turned out in near record numbers,  unlike Iowa,  and Trump's voters turned out in mass in spite of the fact that the GOP primary's outcome was never in doubt, Trump running virtually unopposed.

Getting rid of the electoral college (allowing the liberal/coastal population to rule the nation without opposition),  open borders (introducing milions and millions into the American political system, people fully unfamiliar with the Constitutional/Representative process),  free medicare for all people living within the U.S. borders including illegals (keep in mind that Medicare is more than 60 trillion in debt to unfunded liabilities with current population healthcare coverage), free college tuition,  expanding the Supreme Court (i.e. packing that court with liberals),  giving voting rights to idealistic 16-year-olds,  no label voting ballots (i.e. hiding the "Democrat" label),  placing military preparedness on the back burner (allowing more available funds for social justice/welfare programs),  putting an immediate end to fossil fuel dependency (and doing so 5 decades before the nation is ready for the transition to alternative supplies), and more. 

Nothing is written in stone, but this certainly is great news for the Patriot Nation.

According to pollster John McLaughlin, the impeachment process in the House has backfired on Democrats. While speaking in an interview Sunday, he predicted the proceedings will cause Democrats to lose their House majority in 2020.
McLaughlin added, former Vice President Joe Biden was also a big loser in the trial as more evidence surfaced throughout the process of the corruption allegations levied against him.
“He was the front-runner and when they went after President Trump on impeachment, on Ukraine, they really took down Joe Biden, because we knew there was video of him saying he got a prosecutor fired and we knew that there were corruption problems with Hunter Biden and the Biden family,” he explained.

Sanders spoke to 7,500 supporters on Monday, the largest Democrat voting crowd to date.  But Trump held a rally with  . . . .

. . . .    actually,  I haven't seen a crowd count for the N. H. rally last night,  but the arena was packed and Fox News reported 52,000 folks applied for tickets to the event. 

Update:  Trump rally in a packed arena last night was 12,000 with more than 12,000 outside the arena.

I must admit,  I full expected the Trump crowds to subside,  not get larger and larger over the years.   Understand that by May of this year, many "undecided" voters will have made up their minds.  my point?  The Dems are running out of talent and time. 

An insult to Biden: Monday, Bloomberg started running campaign ads featuring Barack Obama.

no article, just this Biden killing headline.

Well, it is fun to listen to two intelligent black women share their point of view.




If this poll was true, Dems would not be wasting millions of dollars to take Trump out before the 2020 elections . . . period.

With 225,000 jobs added in January and wages rising fastest among low-income workers, the economy is booming under President Trump. One America’s Jenn Pellegrino has more on the administration’s ‘opportunity zones,’ which have largely contributed to the U.S. economy.

Standings before the new Hampshire primary on Tuesday:


Sanders 28%
Buttigieg 21%
Biden 12%
Warren 9% 
Klobuchar 6%
Gabbard 5%
Yang 4%

No, Trump did not say this:

2020 Democrat Joe Biden on Sunday called a young female voter "a lying dog-faced pony soldier" during a question-and-answer session in New Hampshire. 
The exchange began when a Mercer University student asked Biden about his electability following the Iowa caucus, where the Iowa Democratic Party's estimates for pledged delegates put Biden in fourth place behind Pete Buttigieg and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

She is as difficult to get along with as was Jimmy Carter or Hillary. Who knew?

Warren Blames America’s ‘Long Legacy’ Of ‘Racism And Oppression’ After Minority Female Staff Flee ‘Toxic Environment’ Of Her Nevada Campaign

Remember Charlotte? The kid who killed a demonstrator and the libs blamed Trump for the event and being racist? So, let's blame the Dems for their passion for violence via the following headline:

Nihar Kabinittal / ABC News:
Man arrested after allegedly driving van into GOP registration tent  —  “Be careful tough guys who you play with!,” President Donald Trump tweeted.  —  A man has been arrested after allegedly deliberately driving a van into a tent full of Trump supporters who were working to register new voters at a shopping center parking lot.
 
Editor:  Take it to the bank, the Left is far more violent than the Right.  Ambushing cops,  burning down newly constructed housing site or destroying new-car lots by the Green Revolution),  Louis Farrakhan,  Al Sharpton's thugs, Antifa, and, more are all Left-wing radicals withno matching counterparts.,
 
Some will argue "what about the white supremists?" without recognizing that white supremacy is not accepted in the GOP.  But let's allow for the Supremacists (all 500 of them nation wide).  the groups or events cited above are all accepted by the Democrat Left if not their violent agenda's.  And never ever forget that it was the Southern Democrats who started the Civil war and created the KKK,  killing 4,000 blak slaves in the process.  

End of discussion  . . . . . .   for now.
 

Klobuchar rises as Warren fades: thiis is my headline and I am sticking to it.

CBS Boston:

A little truth about the Coronavirus:

If the death toll for this virus ever got to 100 within the United States, the press including Fox News, would be all in for scaring the hell out of the larger population.  Never mind the fact that the annual death toll for the cold and flu in the U.S. is around 12,000.  

Need I say more?  One thing for certain,  no one in my home is worried more concerning Corona versus the flu.  

If this headline from the Wa/Post (no less) is true, loosing heart is the worst thing to happen to Democrat campaigners.

Twin Brother Escorted Off White House Grounds Friday Afternoon, Dismissed From NSC Jobs

 

Update:  Not just Vindman:  Washington Post:
Trump ousts Vindman and Sondland, punishing key impeachment witnesses in post-acquittal campaign of retribution

First impressions about last night:

Last night ???  Yes, last night (Friday and the Dem debate).  While you were watching love movies on Hallmark, or sports on ESPN,  or having dinner with  loved one, or just having a quiet night at home,  the Dems were having another Friday night debate and nobody was watching.  

Be that as it may.  The newly formed "club" went after Mayor Pete,  comrade Bernie tried to be friends with Biden and Biden tried and tried to finish a coherent sentense.  Tom Steyer: Who the hell is Tom Steyer? And we answer, "Exactly."  Vang and Klobashire have no chance.

Now know all that is needed.  

If you have not taken notice, the Democrat Party is no more . . . replaced by socialist radicals.

Did you know that 30 years ago,  Ceasar Chavez oppsed illegal imigration because such would underminene wages for members of his union.  Chavez would no longer be accepted by the Democrats of today  . . . .  socialists all.

General Robert E Lee of the South and a member of the Democrat slave owner community, would no longer be accepted by present-day Democrats. Woodrow Wilson, the first progressive president, would be rejected today because of his racism.  FDR, the only four term president and a Democrat,  would be soundly rejected, today.  There would be no place for John F Kennedy as well.  And,  for the purposes of this article,  it should be noted that neither Martin Luther King, Jr. nor the labor leader/reformer,  Ceasar Chavez, would be accepted.  

In short,  if the past leadership of the Democrat Party are no longer accepted,  we can draw this rather obvious conclusion:  The Democrat Party has been replaced by a radical socialist alternative.  

And while we may fear such a development,  let it be known that a socialist President would be powerless to accomplish his/her goals except via "executive demand."     Surprisingly, Barack Obama is our best example of this failing.  In eight years,  his only major bills were the Dodd/Frank banking reform bill and Obama Care.  Dodd/Frank has been rewritten to make it fairly effective.  ObamaCare never enlisted more than 20 million people,  its cost to consumers have increased over 400%,  and today,  it has been universally rejected by the socialist Left   . . . .  seriously rejected.  In fact, Biden is the only voice supporting ObamaCare.  

Oh,  a Democrat majority would raise taxes and increase regulations but next to nothing else would be accomplished in a  permanent  sense of the word.  We know this because such was virtually all that was accomplished under the eight-year Obama Administration and his democrat Super majority.

My point:  The radicals will not be able to "fundamentally trasform the United States" without and unless the federal court system is radicalized or suspended . . .  and that cannot happened in today's political economy.  Read the Right-Hand margins of this blog,  and you will be reminded that Barack's express purpose for running as President for fundamental transformation

When he needs to working 24/7, Joe Biden has disappeared.

This blog and millions of blue collar citizens have believed this to be true for decades. Welcome to the party.

Trump Administration Will Remove Anti-Trump Deep State Operative Alex Vindman from NSC Following His Role in Sham Impeachment

Re: The Trump/Pelosi wars:

The question that is "misanswered:"  Who started the events in questiuon at the State of the Union?

My point of view:

The accepted protocall for a Speaker introducing the President  is well established: 

"It is my distinct honor and personal previlige to introduce the President of the United States,"  a phrase used for decades. "  

Pelosi omitted "It is my distinct honor and previlige to introduce  . . . . " and with that omission,  she declared war on the President. 

Understand that this omission was a blatant and in-your-face insult of the President so,  of course, he didn't shake her hand.  The fact that Trump did not shake her extended hand hand is clear.  The belief that this was an intentional response to the Speaker's insult is in question, however.  When you watch the video of the Address,  you will note that Trump handed out the two official copies of his Address and was actually in the process of turning to audience when Pelosi extended her hand.  Further, it is clear that Trump did not see her hand before he started turning.  

It is also clear that Pelosi's stunt (tearing up the speech) was both intentional and premeditated  . . . .  a first for such an action (in the history of the nation). 

End of story.  Case closed.

As an aside:   And never forget that Romney has aligned himself with the likes of Pelosi..


No, its not over (a brief that states the obvious)

You know by now that the Dems have nothing to run on other than their attacks , their personal attacks, on PresidentTrump.  And on that score, what should we expect? 

Understand that a second impeachment effort will be the vehicle used for their continued attacks.  After all,  "impeachment" carries with it a greater impact than "investigations."  You should also know that "impeachment" for the 2020 Dems is never about the removal of the President.  It wasn't the case in the first trial, nor, will it be the case in a second trial  (not as long as the GOP holds the Senate majority).   Insteacd "impeachment" is only a pretense used to advance continued investigations and extremely negative headlines for the purpose of winning the elections in November. 

Trump's approval rating with Independents and Democrats for the State of the Union Speech.

82 percent of Independents, 30 percent of Democrats approve of President Trump’s address

Quote of the week: Jonathan Turley

"Pelosi seemed to be intent on mocking President Trum[p from behind his back with sophomoric facial grimaces and head shaking,  culminating in her ripping up a copy of his address."

How does Trump's approaval averge compare to the 7 previous presidents?

CNN Is Reporting Joe Biden May Go To Courts To Stop Release Of Iowa Results


 

Mitt votes to convict Trump and in that moment sets himself apart and above his so-called GOP colleagues. He is the only partisan in history to vote against his party.

For Romney to implicitly suggest that his guilty vote was superior to the united vote of his political party reveals his stark arrogance and, in reality, sets him apart from the Patriotic Community.  Incredibally,  I voted for Romney in his election bid.  Fool me once,  that's one me,  fool me twice  . . . . . . .

About Rush Limbaugh

Timothy Bella / Washington Post:
Rush Limbaugh joins the likes of Mother Teresa and Rosa Parks as recipient of highest civilian honor  —  There was Mother Teresa, “a heroine of our times,” and Rosa Parks, “a living icon for freedom in America.”  Elie Wiesel kept “watch against the forces of hatred,” while Jackie Robinson … 
Editor:  I am older than Rush but - among other things - I have been a contrarian most of my adult life. Back in the early 1990's,  my daughter called me with this announcement:  "Dad,  you need to listen to KMJ at nine in the morning.  They have a guy on there who talks like you." And I have listened to him since that time.  What is key, here, is the fact that Rush is our voice.  More specifically, he is the blue collar intellectual  . . . .  and Trump mirrors that same blue-collar mentality.

I have found that those who do not care for Rush do not listen to him.  Their opinions of him are shaped by his critics  . . .  his enemies.  they listen to those who hate the man.  And in that sense,  their opinons are not their own.

We forget the reason, the single reason,  for Limbaugh's seeming "instant" success, namely, that he voiced the opinions of the common man.  Within the shortest of time,  he ceased to be a stranger on the radio.  He was one of us and that is why he is loved  and given a place of honorwithin the Patriotic community.

Two thoughts the impeachment outcome:

Grace Segers / CBS News:
Susan Collins will vote to acquit Trump, saying he's “learned” from impeachment  —  Watch Norah O'Donnell's exclusive interview with Susan Collins on the “CBS Evening News” on Tuesday, February 4, at 6:30 p.m. ET.  —  Washington — Republican Senator Susan Collins announced Tuesday she will vote … 
 
 
 
Somewhere embedded in this headline should appear the words  "of course."
 
  ABC News:NEW!
Senate poised to acquit Trump in historic impeachment trial  —  A question about the 4 p.m. Wednesday vote is how some Democrats will vote.  —  The months-long impeachment and Senate trial of President Donald Trump comes down to an anticlimactic end Wednesday afternoon with a 4 p.m. vote all-but-certain to end in his acquittal.
 
Editor:  Of course,  there never was any doubt. That being true,  The House impeachment was never about protecting the nobility of the presidency.  I will leave to your imagination to contemplate the actual reasons. 

With this definition, I am not so sure "demagogue" is a bad thing when describing our President:

Osita Nwanevu / New Republic:
Trump Has Never Looked More Comfortable as a Demagogue


dem·a·gogue
/ˈdeməˌɡäɡ/
noun
a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument.
"a gifted demagogue with particular skill in manipulating the press"

Yes, there are influencial Dems who see the approaching election disaster:


At the beginning of the impeachment process, Trump's approval was at 39%. Now . . . .

The president’s approval rating now sits at 49%, according to a poll published Tuesday by Gallup, up from 45% in the last Gallup poll. This is also the highest approval rating Trump has enjoyed since his inauguration in January 2017.

Understand that this is a national poll,  so don't believe those who claim that the majority of the population wants Trump emoved when his approval numbers are skyrocketing. 

After the greatest State of the Union speech of all time, Pelosi shows her grade school era immaturity by tearing up her copy of President Trump's speech.

She stacked the pages in such a way as to require 4 or 5 efforts at tearing up the entire speech. Take it to the bank, she just gave Trump an ad for why she no longer deserves her position as Speaker.


Pelosi was asked by reporters why she ripped up the speech.
It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives,”  and with those words, she dismissed her reaction to the speech,  a first time in American history reaction,  and traded it in for one of the most immature displays ever seen in The Chamber.  Pure trash.

BTW: The Left will point to the notion that Trump refused to shake hands with Pelosi as he passed out his speech to Pence and the Speaker.  Me?  I am not sure that Trump saw the extended  hand as Pelosi extended her hand just as Trump was turning to face the audienc.

Rand Paul names the whistleblower without identifying him as such - and gets away with it.

Rand Paul mentions the "Vindman brothers who know Eric  G . . .  (go to 139 on
the video feed)."
 Eric G  is the whistleblower.  The Chief Justice must know that the 
whistle blower has already been name which means   . . . .  the Chief Justice is as much a game player as the rest of the jerks in congress. 


We agree with this Trump decision:

Brian Stelter Says CNN Not Invited To Lunch With Trump Before State Of The Union Address

CNN has sacrificed its standing as a news agency, trading this for a partisan propaganda agency "because this time is too important to be wasted on 'objective' reporting"  (Chris Matthews, MSNBC).  

Understand that the total average audience for CNN/MSNBC is 3.2 million viewers.  Fox News averages are more than 4 million and FoxBusiness records an average audience of 3 million per day.  

My Super Bowl pick: Kansas City 34, San Fran 28. Have a great weekend. (BTW, both teams are great). Updated..

Update:   Great game.  31 - 20 with K.C. coming from behind for the third time in this year's playoffs.   Mahomes is the only quarterback age 24 to hold a record of 5-0 when trailing by double digits. 

K.C. played in the first Super Bowl (1967), losing to Green Bay 35 -10.

Hank Stram was the KC coach winning Super Bowl IV, 23 -7 versus Minnesoda (1970).

K.C.'s coach, Andy Reid, was the winningest coach (with a 207 to 108 regular sason win/lose record)  to have never won a Super bowl.  Of his 21 years as head coach,  he has a winning record in 16 of those 21 years.

Coach Reid has been married to his "trophy wife" (his words) for 39 years.  

Mahomes never yelled at his players when the team was
down nor did he ever redirect his receivers after a failed play, as they returned to the huddle   . . . .   ala Tom Brady.  In fact,  that is a sideline style that differs between the two quarterbacks.

"Witnesses and documents?"

The Democrat Managers pretend that the Senate Trial did not have witnesses nor documents when,  in fact,  there were 17 witnesses and 28,000 stinking documents.  'nough said.

On any other day, this would be front page and the Dems would be condemning the GOP White Supremists.

Mitt's hatred for Trump has ended his influence within the GOP

The Dems need to learn this lesson:

When standing deep in a hole, stop asking for more shovels

As November approaches, think about this polling fact:

The day before the 2016 elections,  President Trump's Real Clear Polling Average was 37% and, with htat,  he won the popular vote nationally except for one state  (California).  Today, the RCPA stands at 45%.

Secondly,  a failed Sanders primary bid will make it impossible for the Dems to win in November (can't win without the Millennial vote). 

To be honest, I held a lot of respect for General John Kelly until now:

Jonathan D. Salant / New Jersey Online:
Trump's former chief of staff says Senate impeachment trial without witnesses is ‘a job only half done’  —  WASHINGTON — A Senate vote to end President Donald Trump's impeachment proceedings without calling witnesses should be considered “half a trial,” the president's former chief of staff John Kelly said Friday.
 
Editor:  The fact that General John Kelly does not allow for the 17 witnesses (from the House investigation) introduced into the Senate trial has ended my respect for him.  More than this,  the fact that General Kelly implicitly condoned Joe Biden's Ukraine blackmail threat by an absence of any critical commentary. 

File this under "Sow the wnd, reap the whirlwind."

David Siders / Politico:
DNC members discuss rules change to stop Sanders at convention  —  DES MOINES, Iowa — A small group of Democratic National Committee members has privately begun gauging support for a plan to potentially weaken Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign and head off a brokered convention.
 
Editor:  You surely know that if Sanders is defeated by the Democrat Party ala the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton,  the Dems will lose enough of the Millennial vote to make it impossible for a victory in November.  

Marco Rubio makes a comment well worth the read:

Senator Marco Rubio:
My Statement On The President's Impeachment Trial  —  Voting to find the President guilty would not just be a condemnation of his action.  If I vote guilty, I will be voting to remove a President from office for the first time in the 243-year history of our Republic.
