Sander’s Camp Accuses Biden’s of Arranging CNN Debate to Be Sit Down Style in Order to Mask Biden’s Health Issues

“Old Sleepy Joe, he’s a’lookin’ mighty slow at the podium…Dem Debate Podium.”

**sung to the tune of the Theme Song of “Petticoat Junction**

FoxNews.com reports that

Bernie Sanders’ campaign is accusing Joe Biden of pushing for a sit-down format at the March 15 presidential primary debate in Phoenix, according to a new report that highlights mounting concerns over the 77-year-old former vice president’s stamina and cognitive ability.

Sanders’ team raised the alarm about the sit-down format during a Friday call with CNN, which is set to moderate the debate along with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Politico reported this weekend.  All previous primary debates this cycle have required candidates to stand at podiums; and during his one-on-one debates with Hillary Clinton in 2016, Sanders stood alongside her.

“Why does Joe Biden not want to stand toe-to-toe with Sen. Sanders on the debate stage March 15 and have an opportunity to defend his record and articulate his vision for the future?” senior Sanders advisor Jeff Weaver told the outlet.

The Biden campaign denied it had anything to do with the proposed new format. Biden has stood for each of the previous debates, but the upcoming one-on-one with Sanders is expected to be a more grueling and taxing event. (Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, will be excluded from the debate under new DNC rules requiring that each candidate have received a large number of delegates.)

“We will participate in whatever debate CNN chooses to stage: standing, sitting, at podiums or in a town hall,” Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield told Politico. “The problem for the Sanders campaign is not the staging of the debate, but rather, the weakness of Sen. Sanders’ record and ideas.”

Bedingfield added that during the joint call with CNN and the campaigns, the Biden team “agreed to the format that CNN proposed” — and that after Sanders objected, the Biden “campaign agreed to a modification of that format that CNN proposed, to compromise with both campaigns.”

The nature of that modification was unclear, but the DNC has suggested the format would change to become more intimate. Sit-down-style debates are not unprecedented; in 2012, Biden sat across from then-Rep. Paul Ryan at a vice presidential debate, and in 2008, the-candidate Barack Obama debated Clinton at a roundtable.

“After 10 debates, the DNC worked with its network partners to adapt the March debate to the smaller field of candidates and to give voters more of a voice. This format provides candidates longer response times, and for the first time, will incorporate questions from undecided voters in the audience,” DNC spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa said.

Thus far, Biden’s debate performances have been largely underwhelming, analysts have said. He has suggested that most Americans owned “record players” and could use them to connect with children, declared that half of the country has been killed by gun violence since 2007, and baffled audience members by telling them to “go to Joe 30330.”

Republicans, meanwhile, have made Biden’s possible health issues a major part of their messaging, and there were signs that the attacks weren’t simply political. Obama’s longtime doctor, for example, has flatly remarked in an interview with The Washington Examiner that Biden was “not a healthy guy.”

“He’s not in bad shape for his age, but I wouldn’t say he’s in outstanding health,” Dr. David Scheiner said last year, after reviewing partial medical records. “Could I guarantee he won’t have issues for the next four years? He has a lot of issues that are just sort of sitting there.”

On Sunday, Trump mocked Biden’s gaffe-marked, seven-minute speech in St. Louis the day before.

During the brief address, Biden declared:  “If you want a nominee who will bring this party together, who will run a progressive, positive campaign, and turn, turn this primary from a campaign that’s about negative attacks into one that’s about what we’re for — because we cannot get — re-elect — we cannot win this re-election — excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump — if, in fact, we get engaged in this circular firing squad here. Gotta be a positive campaign, so join us.”

Biden also bizarrely described himself as an “O’Biden Bama” Democrat, transposing his name and the name of his old boss.

And, Trump suggested at a Fox News Town Hall last week that Biden wasn’t fit for office, saying that Biden’s numerous gaffes were indicative of a competency issue.

“I’m all set for Bernie, communist,” Trump began. “And then, we have this crazy thing that happened on Tuesday, which he thought was Thursday. But, he also said 150 million people were killed with guns, and that he was running for the U.S. Senate — there’s something going on there.”

Anyone who has actually been paying attention can tell that Joe Biden is no longer skiing on the Bunny Slope. He appears to be on a steep downhill run.

Watching the maneuvering of the Establishment Democrats unfold is like a replay of the 2016 Democratic Primaries.

The powers-that-be in the Democratic Party knew that Hillary Clinton has issues, both concerning her health and her character. However, in their desperation to continue the legacy of governmental socialism begun under Former President Barack Hussein Obama, they simply kept their mouths shut, had her made short campaign appearances, and then threw Hillary into the back of a waiting SUV.

And, like the present, the Democratic Candidates who dropped out all threw their support behind her, leaving Bernie Sanders out in the cold.

The Democratic Elite almost pulled it off on November 8, 2016. All of the Liberal Talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, and the Broadcast Networks thought Hillary’s victory was in the bag as the early returns showed her in the lead.

And, then the Trump supporters got off work.

And, thank God, the rest is history.

So now, what are the Dems going to do?

Even Obama’s doctor says that Sleepy Joe is not a healthy man.

They could place Hillary on the ticket as the Vice Presidential Candidate.

But, she is just as feeble as Biden. Besides, people around Hillary Clinton seem to die by “their own hand” as an alarming rate.

And, all of the Primary Candidates who have already dropped are strictly lightweights who could not help Joe become dog catcher, much less president.

I don’t blame Bernie’s camp for asking for an actual stand behind two podiums debate.

Although, at the rate things are going, Bernie is about to get screwed…again.

Some people never learn.

Trump’s Re-election Campaign Files Laswsuit Against CNN For “False and Defamatory Statements” Concerning Russia and 2020

Untitled_collage-4

FoxNews.com reports that

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump’s re-election campaign filed a libel lawsuit against CNN on Friday for publishing “false and defamatory” statements about seeking Russia’s help in the 2020 election.

“The complaint alleges CNN was aware of the falsity at the time it published them but did so for the intentional purpose of hurting the campaign while misleading its own readers in the process… the campaign filed this lawsuit against CNN and the preceding suits against The New York Times and The Washington Post to hold the publishers accountable for their reckless false reporting and also to establish the truth,” Senior Legal Adviser to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. Jenna Ellis told Fox News.

Fox News obtained the complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia where CNN is located. It states in part that CNN claimed Trump’s campaign “assessed the potential risks and benefits of again seeking Russia’s help in 2020 and has decided to leave that option on the table.”

President Trump’s re-election campaign filed a libel lawsuit against CNN for publishing “false and defamatory” statements.
 
The complaint said that CNN was well aware the statements were false “because there was an extensive record of statements from the Campaign and the administration expressly disavowing any intention to seek Russian assistance” but promoted the claim anyway.

The complaint said that Trump’s legal team sent CNN a request to retract and apologize last month but CNN executives refused. The Trump campaign now seeks “millions of dollars” through litigation.

“The Campaign therefore was left with no alternative but to file this lawsuit to: publicly establish the truth, properly inform CNN’s readers and audience (and the rest of the world) of the true facts, and seek appropriate remedies for the harm caused by CNN’s false reporting and failure to retract and apologize for it,” the complaint said.

CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump has long feuded with CNN and regularly refers to the network as “fake news.” Ironically, CNN president Jeff Zucker helped increase Trump’s fame when he greenlit “The Apprentice” while overseeing NBC years before Trump entered the world of politics, but the two have since had a public falling out.

The article referenced by the complaint was published on CNN.com on June 13, 2019.

Larry Noble’s CNN story, headlined “Soliciting dirt on your opponents from a foreign government is a crime. Mueller should have charged Trump campaign officials with it,” was labeled as an opinion piece and featured a disclaimer that Noble is a CNN contributor but the commentary is solely his own view. However, the piece states that Trump’s campaign “assessed the potential risks and benefits of again seeking Russia’s help in 2020 and has decided to leave that option on the table” as a fact and was still on CNN’s website as of Friday afternoon.

CHRIS MATTHEWS’ SUDDEN EXIT LATEST DEBACLE FOR NBC: ’IT WAS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE’

“The Defamatory Article claims, among other things, that the Campaign ‘assessed the potential risks and benefits of again seeking Russia’s help in 2020 and has decided to leave that option on the table,’” the complaint said. The Defamatory Article does not cite to any facts or reasoning in support of this claim. The Defamatory Article is false.”

The complaint notes that the Trump campaign “has repeatedly and openly disclaimed any intention to seek Russian involvement in the 2020 election” and “examples of this are too numerous to fully enumerate.”

Trump recently filed similar lawsuits against The New York Times and Washington Post.

“False statements are not protected under the U.S. Constitution; therefore, these suits will have no chilling effect on freedom of the press. If journalists are more accurate in their statements and reporting, that would be a positive development, but not why these suits were filed,” Ellis added.

Exactly right.

Decades ago, CNN and the rest of the Main Stream Media left objectivity behind and started to claim their opinions were facts.

It was easy.

Just attribute the lies to “unnamed sources”.

It was bad enough when George W. Bush was in office.

However, since before the inauguration Donald J. Trump CNN and the rest of the MSM, just like their masters in the Democratic Elite, have made it their mission to remove President Trump from office by any means necessary.

Their lies and accusations concerning the president have been so outlandish that they must, like their Masters, believe that average Americans are gullible hayseeds who will believe anything that they put in front of us.

I have some news for them: that is exactly the attitude that cost the Democrats the Presidency in 2016.

Now, the Democrats will whine and claim that this is just Trump “putting on another show”.

I disagree.

He is very serious.

He was given a mandate by the America people which he has done his best to fulfill.

However, it is hard when you cannot et your message out through the MSM without them lying about what you are doing.

That is why Trump uses Twitter.

While the Main Stream Media has the right to their opinion about President Trump, they do not have the right to make false statements about him. as his lawyer said in the article above.

Speaking for myself, I hope that the President is successful in his lawsuit.

Perhaps it will give the Propaganda Arm of the Democratic Party, the Main Stream Media pause to reflect about what their actual job is.

Trump’s Town Hall was Must-See TV…”When They Hit Us, We Have to Hit Back”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

untitled (306)

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump, speaking at a Fox News Town Hall in Joe Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pa., on Thursday evening, openly suggested that the new Democratic front-runner’s repeated gaffes could be a sign of a competency issue — honing a line of attack that Republicans are expected to repeatedly deploy if Biden becomes his party’s nominee.

Trump also wasted little time in criticizing ex-rival Elizabeth Warren’s decision to drop out of the race only after Super Tuesday, saying she may have sabotaged Bernie Sanders’ struggling presidential bid by siphoning the progressive vote.

The setting was more casual and conversational than Trump’s boisterous rallies, and afforded the commander-in-chief an opportunity to connect directly with voters on camera.

“Bernie Sanders would have won five, six, seven states,” Trump remarked. “When you look at it, she did him no favors. That was not a good friendship. We started to see that during the debates, by the way. It became unhinged.”

Trump went on to argue that Biden was “damaged” by the impeachment process that implicated his son Hunter in apparent overseas corruption while Biden was vice president. “They aimed at Trump and they took Biden down,” the president said.

“Here’s a guy, who didn’t have a job, unfortunately sadly the military was a very sad experience for him — he goes out and gets $3 million plus $183,000 a month to be a board member of a company that a lot of people said was corrupt,” he continued. “Just as bad, China — I just made a great China deal … His son walks out a China for a billion-and-a-half dollars for a fund.”

The Super Tuesday results, Trump said, had come as a surprise — especially given what he suggested were Biden’s possible cognitive impairments.

“I’m all set for Bernie, communist,” Trump began. “And then we have this crazy thing that happened on Tuesday, which he thought was Thursday. But he also said 150 million people were killed with guns, and that he was running for the U.S. Senate — there’s something going on there.”

The president noted that he hadn’t spoken to former President Obama since the 2018 funeral for President George H.W. Bush, in part because of lingering animosity about that administration.

“I sat next to him, I said, ‘Hello,'” Trump said, describing the funeral. “Then I said, ‘Goodbye’ That’s about it. I didn’t like the job he did. I didn’t like the job he and Biden did. I didn’t like the position he put us in. I didn’t like what he did to our military. … Right now we have more ammunition than ever before.”

Concerning health care, Trump said he was “most disappointed” that he hasn’t been able to “sell what a great job we’ve done.” The president touted his administration’s termination of the Obamacare “individual mandate,” and said plans were now less expensive — but that the “carcass of Obamacare” remains a problem.

“Without the whole thing with the individual mandate, it’s a whole different ball game,” Trump said. He promised that the GOP would come up with an alternative, but didn’t offer specifics other than that pre-existing conditions would be covered.

Anchor Bret Baier noted that Trump, when campaigning, had promised to erase the national debt within eight years — but nevertheless had approved $4.6 trillion in new debt already.

“I’ll always talk about it, because to me it’s very important,” Trump said. “The good thing about the debt is we’re paying almost no interest.” He added that more cuts would be coming but that it was crucially important to fund the military in the meantime.

The town hall covered an array of other topics, including stock market turbulence and deregulation. Out of the gate, Trump defended his administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, saying his decision to limit travel from China had averted a broader domestic crisis.

“I think people are viewing us as doing a very good job,” Trump told a questioner. “This started in China. How it started, is a question. … It’s gonna all work out. Everyone has to be calm.”

The president pointed to something of a silver lining in the episode: “People are now staying in the United States, spending their money in the United States, and I like that. You know, I’ve been after that for a long time. I’ve been saying, let’s stay in the U.S., spend your money here. It’s sort of enforced doing that.”

Trump later noted that he has always disliked the concept of shaking hands: “If there was ever a time you could convince people not to shake hands, this could be it,” he mused, before lamenting that politicians unfortunately are required to shake some hands.

Responding to the threatening statements directed at Associate Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch on Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Trump said the comments amounted to a call for physical violence.

“If a Republican did what Schumer did, they’d be in jail right now,” Trump said to applause.

The media, Trump argued, was “a part of the Democrat Party” to a “large extent” — and “we have to fight back.”

He gave a similar answer when asked by a voter how he would “bring us together.” The voter noted that a relative had banished Trump supporters from the family.

“Success” as a country is the solution, Trump said, suggesting that Democrats would come to the bargaining table, if not the dinner table, if he won reelection.

At the same time, Trump said, “when they hit us, we have to hit back.”

Hours before the town hall, Trump took his trademarked parting shots at Warren and Mike Bloomberg, whom Trump likened to an incompetent, undersized Darth Vader-style character from the 1987 parody “Spaceballs.”

Bloomberg had compared Trump to Vader with a video from the movie “Star Wars.”

“Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren, who was going nowhere except into Mini Mike’s head, just dropped out of the Democrat Primary…THREE DAYS TOO LATE,” Trump wrote, referring to Warren’s previous claims of Native American ancestry. “She cost Crazy Bernie, at least, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas. Probably cost him the nomination! Came in third in Mass.”

The Fox News Town Hall was Trump’s first town hall of the campaign season. It was also Trump’s first discussion with Baier and Martha MacCallum since interviews in June 2018 and April 2017.

Somewhere, in this great country, a Liberal is “clutching his pearls”, upset that President Trump was “so mean”.

That’s just too bad.

Liberals had it easy for several years during the Bush Administration because Dubya refused to fight back against all of the Democrats’ insults and demeaning slander, even while the Main Stream Media was using it to cast doubt about his competence in the minds of American citizens.

Then there were the Obama Years, during which Vichy Republicans in Congress refused to fight for US.

And now, after three years of the most horrible personal attacks a leader could imagine, President Donald J. Trump is still standing tall…and fighting back.

This is not the Victorian Age and this is not Britain.

This is America, a country hewn out of hardships faced by rugged individualists who made a way for themselves and their family in this brave new world across the sea.

Can you imagine what Davy Crockett, who represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives would have said about the likes of Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler? Or, what he might have said about Schumer threatening the Supreme Court Justices?

It would not be “genteel”, I can tell you that

And most of it would probably not have been repeatable.

Yesterday, after Senator Mitch McConnell called Senator Church Schumer on the carpet for his threats against Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, Schumer responded with a half apology, half-rant, still attempting to blame his behavior on the Republicans.

Schumer blamed the way that he sounded at the Abortion Rally on the fact that he was a New Yorker and was blunt.

Well, President Trump is a New Yorker, too.

So, the only conclusion that I can come to is that Democrats can dish it out but they can’t take it.

Schumer Threatens Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, Chief Justice Roberts Calls His Remarks “Irresponsible” and “Dangerous”…He’s Right

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Schumer-scaled-1-768x432

FoxNews.com reports that

Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts on Wednesday issued a highly unusual and forceful rebuke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., calling his threatening remarks directed at Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh “irresponsible” and “dangerous” — prompting Schumer’s office to slam Roberts and accuse him of bias.

The extraordinary back-and-forth began hours earlier at a pro-choice rally hosted by the Center for Reproductive Rights, when Schumer ominously singled out President Trump’s two Supreme Court picks: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price!” Schumer warned. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Roberts replied in his remarkable written statement, obtained by Fox News: “This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that ‘You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.'”

Roberts continued: “Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.”

Schumer spokesman Justin Goodman quickly responded by accusing Roberts of bias, further escalating the confrontation. Goodman insisted that Schumer was addressing Republican lawmakers when he said a “price” would be paid — even though Schumer had explicitly named Kavanaugh and Gorsuch.

“Women’s health care rights are at stake and Americans from every corner of the country are in anguish about what the court might do to them,” Goodman said in a statement to Fox News. “Sen. Schumer’s comments were a reference to the political price Senate Republicans will pay for putting these justices on the court, and a warning that the justices will unleash a major grassroots movement on the issue of reproductive rights against the decision.”

He added: “For Justice Roberts to follow the right wing’s deliberate misinterpretation of what Sen. Schumer said, while remaining silent when President Trump attacked Justices [Sonia] Sotomayor and [Ruth Bader] Ginsberg last week, shows Justice Roberts does not just call balls and strikes.”

That was an apparent reference to Trump’s call for those liberal justices to recuse themselves from some cases due to alleged bias. (“I just don’t know how they cannot recuse themselves to anything having to do with Trump or Trump-related,” Trump said. Ginsburg, who has publicly defended Kavanaugh and Gorsuch as “very decent” and “very smart,” previously called Trump a “faker,” and Sotomayor sharply criticized the administration in a recent dissent.)

Ever since Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) served his two terms as President, the Democratic Party’s Elite have believed that they could get by with anything that they wanted to do from using their personal e-mails for top secret government business to using vendors connected to the Muslim Brotherhood as IT Support for the House of Representatives.

That attitude did not stop with the end of the reign of King Barack The First.

With the election of Citizen Statesman Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America, that attitude of arrogance belonging to the Democrats on Capitol Hill grew exponentially.

This was one of the factors which lead to the “Russian Collusion Delusion” and the Sham Impeachment.

There has been a double standard in Washington, DC for quite a while , now.

The Democrats feel as if they are entitled to do anything they want to as regards skirting the law and the rules of decorum and civility in our nation’s government.

The reason they feel this way is because they have convinced themselves that they are the entitled class in this country.

They felt that they were entitled to the President after the end of Obama’s two terms…it was their right.

When average Americans decided differently, the DC Democrats experienced a psychotic break, which has led to all of the shenanigans which we have witnessed during Trump’s first term, included Chuck U. Schumer’s threatening of 2 Supreme Court Justices, yesterday…something which is not only unseemly and disrespectful, but dangerous as well.

Last night, news came out that at least one of the Senators was going to call for censuring Schumer.

He deserves more than that.

He deserves to have his Senate Minority Leader position taken away from him.

It is time to show the Democrats on Capitol Hill that words mean things…and they are not in charge of America.

Until He Comes,

Buttigieg Bows Out. Trump Tweets “This is the REAL Beginning of the Dems Taking Bernie Out of Play”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

pete-buttigieg-1

FoxNews.com reports that

Moments after former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg told supporters he’s ending his presidential campaign Sunday, President Trump said it reflected the growing pressure among more moderate Democrats to consolidate in order to blunt the rise of progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Trump tweeted: “Pete Buttigieg is OUT. All of his Super Tuesday votes will go to Sleepy Joe Biden. Great timing. This is the REAL beginning of the Dems taking Bernie out of play – NO NOMINATION, AGAIN!”

Buttigieg previously had said Sanders was too liberal to be elected.

Buttigieg’s withdrawal came just days before voters in 14 states are set to head to the polls on Super Tuesday, where one-third of all delegates for the nomination will be at stake.

His exit likely will harm frontrunner Sanders by providing a coalescing boost to more moderate candidates, as Buttigieg had gone on the offensive against the Vermont senator and sought to appeal to the centrist base of the party.

Sanders’ delegate lead over Joe Bidenhas shrunk from 30 to 8 after Biden’s big win in the South Carolina primary.

With 54 delegates at stake in South Carolina, the former vice president picked up 35 to Sanders’ 13, according to The Associated Press’ delegate count. Six delegates remained to be allocated pending final vote totals.

Heading into key Super Tuesday contests, Sanders has led the overall race for delegates with 58 while Biden had 50. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., had 8 and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., had 7. It takes 1,991 delegates to win.

Buttigieg, the first openly gay candidate to seriously contend for the presidency, tried to make the case that his party thrived when it embraced candidates who offered generational change.

But, the 38-year-old Afghanistan war veteran ended up being more successful at winning older voters while Sanders, 78, captured the energy of younger voters.

“He’s not going anywhere,” Trump said in January. “He was a lousy mayor of a place that is not doing well — [but] Indiana is doing unbelievably well.”

He called South Bend, a city of more than 100,000 people a few miles south of the Michigan line, “badly run” under Buttigieg, while the Hoosier State on the whole had “the best year they’ve ever had” in 2019.

Last year, the president, known for bullying schoolyard nicknames for his political rivals, compared Buttigieg to the longtime mascot for Mad magazine.

“Alfred E. Neuman cannot become president of the United States,” the president said, referring to the decades-old Mad character.

“Bullying” nicknames?

Give me a break.

I know that the Murdock sons’ wives are Liberal, but CNN and MSNBC are already Liberal News Channels, Fox News does not need to go to the Dark Side, also.

But, I digress.

Concerning the dearly departed Mayor Pete Buttigeig…

He knew he had no chance.

I knew he had no chance. Heck, to borrow a line from Pro Wrestling Great Jerry “The King” Lawler,

I couldn’t warm up to that guy if we were cremated together.

It’s not the fact that he is a homosexual.

It’s the fact that he, like so many Liberal Democrat public figures nowadays, is a Modern Day Pharisee.

Last month, Conservative Talk Show Host Dana Loesch wrote an article on this subject for TheFederalist.com. Here is a spot-on snippet from that article.

Buttigieg believes everyone else’s sin is up for discussion — except his own. He cites Trump’s behavior, but what of Pete’s? Scripture is explicitly clear on the topic of sin and that everyone sins — and thank goodness for grace and forgiveness.

Buttigieg likes to say, “God doesn’t have a political party,” which is correct. But God did give commandments to uphold, commandments which conflict with policies such as late-term, post-birth, and partial-birth abortion, policies Buttigieg and his party are trying to normalize as mainstream Christian doctrine while passing judgment on the manner in which Trump tweets. If Buttigieg’s “positions are informed by his faith,” as he so often says, you wouldn’t know it.

Buttigieg can cite Scripture, but does he follow it? He forgets that “It is not those who hear the law who are righteous but those who obey the law that will be declared righteous.”

At the (CNN) town hall, Buttigieg said “the interpretation” of Trump’s conduct deserves a voice by way of his office and this presidential race — but then so does Buttigieg’s, and if Scripture is the litmus test he chooses, then logic and fairness dictate that he too must be judged by these same standards. No one, not Trump nor Buttigieg, is free of sin. I don’t apply this to Buttigieg alone. As I said, everyone falls short of God’s glory, but — and I say this in a spirit of Christian love — it is difficult to lecture on sin while trying to make sin mainstream.

Now, I am not perfect.

There was and is only one who walked this Earth who was and is perfect.

However, when Mayor Pete started lecturing average Christian Americans as to how narrow-minded they were about him “laying with another man” in a bond sanctified by the state but not by God’s Word, all the while telling Americans what a wonderful Christian that HE was, I am quite certain that his hypocritical arrogance did not sit well with a lot of average Americans.

I know that it did not sit right with me.

Average Americans had our fill during the eight long, arduous years of President Obama telling us that our country was not great and that our traditional faith and values were not acceptable, but the list of acts which used to appear in the text book for the college course “The Sociology of Deviant Behavior” were.

As the Primary Season went on, more and more Americans started realizing what a “lightweight” Mayor Pete actually was, leading to his already low poll numbers dropping.

President Trump is probably spot on, concerning the Dems’ desire to sabotage Bernie’s opportunity to be their President Candidate.

Just as the majority of Americans would not vote for Mayor Pete, an even bigger majority will not vote for the ol’ Commie, Bernie Sanders.

That is why they probably will attempt to make Biden the candidate, even if he is clearly in the first stages of dementia.

The Democratic Convention should be very interesting as I do not believe that the Wokesheviks, i.e. the Bernie Bros, will go silently into that good night.

Oh, one last thought…if Democrats who speak and behave in the manner in which Mayor Pete does are now considered “Moderate”, then would Karl Marx be considered a “Centrist”?

Until He Comes.

Trump Rallies the Conservative Base at CPAC With a 90 Minute Barnburner of a Speech…Why the Dems Don’t Stand a Chance

President Trump makes fun of Democratic Candidate “Mini Mike” Bloomberg

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump rallied the core of the conservative activist base Saturday with a fiery address mercilessly mocking his potential Democratic presidential foes, railing against the “Washington swamp” and shaming Republican Sen. Mitt Romney for defecting on the final impeachment vote.

Closing out the annual Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington with a speech that lasted over 90 minutes, Trump ripped into what he called the “hate-filled left-wing mob.” But in the wake of impeachment and the Russia probe, Trump praised Republicans for sticking together.

The crowd at CPAC booed Romney, R-Utah, who in 2012 won the conservative conference’s straw poll for the preferred GOP presidential nominee. But times have changed after he voted to convict Trump on the abuse of power article approved by the House.

“He got some good publicity,” Trump said. “He’s a low life.”

Trump went on to sound off on the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates in deeply personal terms, hitting hard against former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, whom he has dubbed “mini Mike,” and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., whom he calls “Pocahontas” over her ancestry controversy.

Going after “mini Mike,” he said of Bloomberg’s debate debut, “That was probably the worst debate performance of any presidential debate.”

“Boy, did Pocahontas destroy him,” Trump continued, while diverting momentarily to mock Warren’s Native American ancestry test. “And look what I did to her—she went out and got a test. Remember when I said I have more Indian blood in me than she does, and I have none. Would love to have some, but I have none. … She was really mean to mini Mike, I’ll tell you, the way she treated him.”

Then Trump turned to theatrics to taunt his fellow New Yorker, as Trump said of the diminutive ex-mayor: “He’s going ‘oh, get me off the stage.’” Trump crouched behind the podium at CPAC, glancing over the top, pretending to be Bloomberg, whom he has repeatedly tormented over his height.

Trump also slammed Bloomberg for spending hundreds of millions of his personal money on his presidential race, saying he “writes checks like a drunken sailor” and has “very bad people” advising him.

“I know some of his people, they are ripping him off, they’re bad people and they are laughing all the way to the bank,” Trump said. “‘Keep running, Mike. Keep doing it Mike.'”

Trump went on to take a “poll” of the audience, asking them to “scream like hell” for the candidate “you think I should run against…in other words, because we’re going to beat him,” giving the audience the choice between Sanders and Biden.

CPAC attendees screamed louder for Sanders, giving a standing ovation.

“Joe’s not going to be running the government — he’s going to be sitting in a home somewhere,” Trump, 73, remarked after the poll, but noted in his speech that he predicted Biden, who is 77, would “have a big win” in Saturday’s South Carolina primary.

Trump also mocked Biden for his frequent campaign trail gaffes, including misstating the number of gun deaths in America during last week’s debate.

Biden campaign rapid response director Andrew Bates swiped at Trump afterward, telling Fox News: “A year from now, Joe Biden will have brought character, honor, and decency back to the White House. He’ll be rebuilding the American middle class, fighting to give every American healthcare — instead of trying to cost millions their coverage — rallying the world against climate change, and reversing Donald Trump’s repugnant and un-American immigration policies. Donald Trump, on the other hand, will be ranting on Twitter about how Deutsche Bank is refusing to give him a loan for ‘Trump Tower Moscow: The Second Try.’”

Trump also claimed he didn’t know how “dirty” D.C. would be and “how deep” the swamp would be, as he riffed on one of his favorite campaign trail rallying cries.

“I never knew the swamp was so bad. It’s really bad, but we’re winning, and we’re winning not easy. A lot of dirty people, a lot of very, very bad people–bad people,” he said. “I do think justice will be had. … Or I wouldn’t be very happy right now.”

The president went on to tout the military and their success in taking out ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, saying: “We took that son of a b— out.”

But he also defended the administration’s newly signed agreement with the Taliban as part of an effort to bring thousands of U.S. troops home from the post- 9/11 Afghanistan war.

“But American forces cannot be the policemen for the entire world—a lot of time we’re not even appreciated, taken for granted,” he said.

“We signed a deal with the Taliban so that we can hopefully begin the immediate process of finally bringing our troops back home,” Trump said. “19 years…We just signed it. We really have to thank the families and those incredible people who lost their lives.”

Trump, though, added: “The Taliban are great fighters. They’re great fighters.”

The president shifted to national security and border security, saying his administration has taken “the most aggressive action to control our borders.”

“We intend to keep radical Islamist terrorists the hell out of our country, and we’re keeping them out,” Trump said.

The president’s address to CPAC came after he gave a press conference on coronavirus at the White House earlier in the day where he assured the nation, while also announcing new travel restrictions.

During his speech, he offered help to nations affected, like Iran, saying: “All they have to do is ask.”

Trump has addressed CPAC every year since taking office in 2017.

The president’s speech follows days of panels, featuring White House officials, members of his re-election campaign, prominent Republican lawmakers and members of the conservative media making the case against socialism.

The theme at the annual conservative gathering outside Washington has been “America vs. Socialism.” The rhetoric at the event has repeatedly turned back to the current front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Vice President Mike Pence also addressed CPAC, warning conservatives against socialism—saying: “Freedom works. Socialism doesn’t.”

Pence, during his CPAC appearance, rallied the crowd and made the case for Trump’s re-election.

“Elections are about choices,” Pence said, while saying the 2020 race will give voters the choice between socialism and freedom.

“The choice has never been clearer, the stakes have never been higher,” Pence said. “Men and women of CPAC, we’ve got work to do. The truth is, it won’t be enough to win the next election. We’ve got to win the next generation.”

Indeed.

Truer words were never said.

I wrote recently about the fact that American children have been programmed over the last 3 decades, at least, to eschew Traditional American Faith and Values and to embrace the failed political and cultural philosophy of the Far Left Democrats.

The whole Trump Derangement Syndrome Movement is a reaction by the Democrats to not only losing the 2016 President Election but the fact that they believed that they were finally, with Hillary Clinton in the White House be able to finish “Radically changing” our Sovereign Nation, a mission which was started under Former (Thank God) President Barack Hussein Obama.

Everything that the Democrats have attempted to use to remove the President from office has failed miserably, even their recent attempts to blame the coronavirus on him and their claims that America’s Economy is not actually booming under President Trump.

Nothing is working for the Democrats. They are failing at everything, including presenting an electable Presidential Candidate.

This is the weakest field of Democratic Primary Candidates since the days of George Mc Govern and Walter Mondale. And, as seen during the recent KAG Rallies and the President’s appearance at CPAC yesterday, he is having a blast making fun of the Dems and their pathetic schemes and candidates.

By the way, was it just me, or did you also spit out your Diet Coke all over the Computer Monitor when you read about Biden’s Rapid Response Director saying that

“A year from now, Joe Biden will have brought character, honor, and decency back to the White House.” ?

Heck, most of the time Sleepy Joe doesn’t even know what state he is in, besides a state of dementia.

If Biden were elected, he might press the button in the nuclear briefcase, thinking that he was calling for his evening “hot toddy”.

Right now, the socialist idiocy of their political party must be driving any Democrats who are still “normal” Americans absolutely bonkers.

That is why so many of every ethnicity are leaving the Democrats for the Re.publican Party.

And, that’s a good thing.

As Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) said in the great movie “Die Hard”.

“Welcome to the party, pal!”

Trump Takes Audience Poll at SC KAG Rally, Who Will Be Easier to Beat, Bernie or Biden? Why It Just Doesn’t Matter

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

c4eab421-2746-4428-9108-33f5d44be24a-AP_Election_2020_Trump

FoxNews.com reports that

President Trump accused his Democratic critics of “politicizing” the coronavirus outbreak Friday as he rallied supporters in North Charleston a day before the Democratic primary in South Carolina.

Speaking at the North Charleston Coliseum for more than an hour, Trump dismissed the complaints from Democrats about his handling of the virus as “their new hoax” and insisted “we are totally prepared.” He also mocked the party for its chaotic efforts to determine the result of this month’s Iowa caucuses.

“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” Trump said, adding: “They can’t even count their votes.”

Speaking at length about the virus, Trump said it “starts in China, bleeds its way into various countries around the world, doesn’t spread widely at all in the United States because of the early actions” of his administration. But still, Trump argued, the Democrats are claiming that “it’s Donald Trump’s fault.”

Turning to the 2020 race, Trump took an informal poll of the crowd of who they would prefer he run against in November. The president argued that despite the many candidates still in the race, the fight for the Democratic nomination is really a two-man race between Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“Who the hell is easier to beat?” Trump asked the crowd, going on to use nicknames “Crazy Bernie” for Sanders and “Sleepy Joe” for Biden.

“I don’t know, I think Crazy Bernie has it,” he said.

As he left the White House on Friday afternoon, the president said of the Democratic contest: “It’ll be very interesting to see what happens tomorrow.” Trump then referenced the Super Tuesday contests on March 3, saying: “On Tuesday, you have a very big day.”

While en route to South Carolina, Trump tweeted an announcement that he is nominating Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe to serve as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), months after the Republican lawmaker abruptly withdrew his name from consideration for the post.

Trump has held rallies in each of the four early voting states for the presidential nomination. He went to Nevada last week, even though Republicans had canceled their presidential caucus to show allegiance to the president. Likewise, South Carolina GOP officials opted not to hold a primary this year.

But that’s not stopping Trump, who has reveled in poking his challengers in the run-up to their contests.

“Some people say I’m trolling the Democrats and maybe I am,” Trump said at the White House.

Unlike the three earlier voting states, South Carolina is not considered a swing state. Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by more than 14 percentage points there in 2016.

Following Saturday’s contest, more than a dozen states vote in the Super Tuesday contests.

Trump arrived in South Carolina following a brutal week for the stock market. Stocks dropped another 357 points Friday, extending a rout that handed the market its worst week since October 2008, at the height of the financial crisis.

Analysts worry that the stock swoon could cause consumer spending to contract. Such spending makes up some 70 percent of the economy and has played a huge role in keeping the U.S. economic expansion going.

Trump has linked his presidency to the markets through tweets and speeches, often taking credit for each new high in the indices. Now, Trump is trying to reassure Americans that the economy is still strong while also theorizing that the Democratic candidates’ debate performances have spooked investors.

The coronavirus virus has infected more than 84,000 people globally and caused more than 2,800 deaths.

A lot of people say that Joe Biden will win the South Carolina Democrat Primary today.

I don’t care.

As Bill Murray so famously said in the movie “Meatballs,

“It just doesn’t matter!”

Be it Biden, Sanders, or a desperation candidate chosen at a brokered convention, the 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate has no chance of winning the Presidency.

Why?

Every single Democratic Candidate cares more for their failed political ideology than they do the average Americans Between the coasts, whom Hillary Clinton called “Deplorables”.

Just as Trump did, with his refusal early in his campaign to “act more presidential”, continues to take his message directly to the American People.

As opposed to the “Elite Democrats” running for their party’s Presidential Candidate Nomination, Trump has always been a “people person”.

That is the reason that, when he was still a contributor to Fox News, he would speak to everyone in the building, from the maintenance crew, on up the ladder.

As Sam Walton, the Founder of Walmart, knew, you don’t inspire people by acting imperious and above it all.

“Mr. Sam”, until his health would no longer allow him to do so, would travel to Walmart Stores in his old pickup truck, with a tie and a baseball cap on, visiting the employees, in order to find out how his stores were doing.

He knew that the only way to be successful and to stay in touch with the public, was to be out among them, and speak to them honestly and directly, as one would speak to a friend.

Just as President Trump did when he went on a “Thank You” Tour and as he continues with his Daily Tweets to the American People..

The Political Establishment, of both parties, lost that concept, a long time ago.

Bypassing the borders to communication, historically determined by both political parties and the Main Stream Media, is a concept which I first witnessed being used by a Presidential Candidate in the 1980 Presidential Election, the before-mentioned Ronald Wilson Reagan.

While I am not comparing the two, I am noting that this strategy has proved effective for both men.

As the polls show, Trump continues to strike a resonant chord in the hearts of Average Americans, living here in the part of America, which the snobbish Democrat Elites refer to as “Flyover Country”, but which we refer to as “America’s Heartland”, or, quite simply, “HOME”.

The reason being, President Trump is keeping his promises.

President Trump has America’s Economy BOOMING!

Also…

He does not talk down to us while disparaging our Sovereign Nation, as the Democrats running in the Primary do.

Trump talks to us in a plain-spoken, clearly understood way, a style which is in stark contrast to an opposition party full of professional politicians, whose only interest is the regaining of power in Washington, D.C., at whatever the cost.

Last night, the President of the United States of America, the most powerful man in the world, made South Carolinians feel good about themselves and their role in determining the future of our country.

They heard these words of hope and encouragement from a man who genuinely LOVES America and her people, instead of viewing us all as racist, misogynist, xenophobes…the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

And, that, fellow Americans, is why President Trump will be reelected.

Until He Comes,

The New York Times Attempts to Name Coronavirus After Trump, Fails Miserably…Again

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

FoxNews.com reports that

The New York Times was widely mocked on Thursday over an op-ed column that criticized the White House response to the coronavirus outbreak by declaring that the ailment should be referred to as “Trumpvirus.”

The piece by columnist Gail Collins was headlined, “Let’s Call It Trumpvirus,” and declared that “if you’re feeling awful, you know who to blame.”

“The New York Times is blaming coronavirus on Trump now … when they should be blaming themselves for the outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” political satirist Tim Young tweeted.

Fourth Watch editor Steve Krakauer captioned the column, “Our media is broken – perhaps irreparably so.”

In the widely lampooned piece, Collins criticized Vice President Mike Pence, who has been assigned to lead the government’s coronavirus response.

“Well, it probably could have been worse. Having a czar does make you feel there’s somebody in charge. At least Trump didn’t come before the cameras and announce solemnly, ‘Today I’m asking every American to cross your fingers,’” Collins wrote.

“Our president had to be going crazy over a problem that involves both declining stock prices and germs. This is the guy, after all, who thinks shaking hands is ‘barbaric,’ who is followed around by aides bearing sanitizer,” Collins wrote.

The Times columnist then mocked Trump for blaming the financial markets on Democrats, misspelling coronavirus in a tweet, telling Americans that things are under control and not being as prepared as his predecessor.

“Barack Obama used to have special epidemic-watching groups just in case this kind of crisis developed,” Collins wrote.

“Chances are, if the president is encouraged to mix the subjects of coronavirus and Mexico walls, he’ll suddenly announce that we need a barrier much bigger and thicker and more expensive, so it can stop the flow of immigrant germs,” Collins wrote to end her column.

Critics mocked the piece on Twitter.

The column was published one day after the Trump campaign filed a libel lawsuit against what it called the “extremely biased” New York Times, saying the paper’s March 27, 2019 op-ed titled “The Real Trump-Russia Quid Pro Quo” amounted to a knowingly false smear intended to “improperly influence the presidential election in November 2020.”

“They did a bad thing,” Trump said at a coronavirus press conference later Wednesday, before apparently promising more litigation. “There will be more coming. There will be more coming.”

Donald J. Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States of America on November 8, 2016 with 46% of the vote.

Over three years into the Presidency of Donald J. Trump, the gaping maw that is America’s Political Division is more cavernous as ever.

While the News Organizations like the failing New York Times who inhabit the never-ending metropolitan areas of the East and Left Coasts and the “Beltway” insist, as “some old Lib” named Phil Donahue did in July of 2017 that,

This is the darkest political moment in American History.

Despite what they choose to think and advocate for, those of us who live in America’s Heartland, between the coasts, continue to support the man whom we elected to the most powerful office in the Free World…because he is not a politician.

Liberals who seem to spend their entire day on Social Media posting fake news stories, pulling “facts” out of their hindquarters such as the erroneous claims that President Trump is a racist, and posting anything and everything that they can, in order to attempt to remove President Trump from office, are probably in diabetic shock from consuming too many Cheetos and donuts in their Mom’s basement, as they attempt to comprehend what I am writing.

Here’s the deal, Snowflakes…

None of these fake news stories, Democrat-heavy polls, photoshopped pictures, “Antifa”, and stupid Occupy Democrat Memes on Facebook are making any difference to average Americans.

The Democrats and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media, as a result of their own regional bias toward the major metropolitan areas on the East and Left Coasts, which has been obvious to average Americans for the last several decades, continue through their sheer arrogance and hatred for the traditional American Way of Life, to distance themselves from the people whom they continue to claim that they “love”…Average Working Class Americans.

Yet still, they expect us to believe the Fake News which they are desperately trying to distribute in a vain attempt get Trump out of office, and which Liberal Trolls are posting on Social Media ad nauseam, so that they and the rest of the “useful idiots”, in their shared madness, can regain the White House, even though all of their Primary Candidates do not stand a chance against President Donald J. Trump..

Americans do not care what Main Stream Media “journalists” such as those employed by the failing New York Times, like the author of that stupid opinion piece, Gail Collins, think.

To put it mildly and in Marital Terms, which even the Liberal Trolls who inhabit President Trump’s Twitter Account can understand, Average Working Class Americans and the Democratic Party have been divorced from each other for a long time.

The Democrats became the party of the “Upper Crust” and Special Interest Groups, who, as the failing New York times has so clearly and unwittingly illuminated in the last several years, look down their noses at Americans who live here in “Flyover Country”.

The Democrats assumed, after reading their own press clippings, that all Americans wanted in 2016 and somehow, still want, the Progressive/Marxist Political Ideology and style of governance which Barack Hussein Obama practiced during his time as President.

Well, we all know what assuming does, don’t we, Snowflakes?

The American People overthrew the “Tyranny of the Minority”, which we had suffered under for 8 interminable years on November 8th, 2016.

The Oxford Dictionaries define the word “mandate” as

the authority to carry out a policy or course of action, regarded as given by the electorate to a candidate or party that is victorious in an election.

Guess what, Democratic Elite, George Soros, Barack Hussein Obama, Facebook and Internet Trolls, Hollywood Celebrities, and the rest of you still throwing a National Temper Tantrum like the failing New York Times and the rest of the Main Stream Media?

Trump won! Therefore, he does have a mandate, which includes building a wall on our Southern Border, regardless what your highly inaccurate Democrat sample-heavy polls show. If you polls were accurate, Hillary Clinton would be our nation’s President (shudder).

And, average Americans, the “Deplorables” between the coasts whom Democrats and the MSM “journalists” like The failing New York Times continue to insult and ridicule on a daily basis, still support and appreciate president Donald J. Trump.

Because it is evident by what he has accomplished since he took office that President Donald J. Trump is working hard to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

That is why none of the lightweight Liberal Democratic Presidential Candidates stand a chance this November of unseating him.

Illegitimi non carborundum, Mr. President.

Average Americans have your back.

First US Coronavirus Case of Unknown Origin Confirmed in North California, Trump Holds Press Conference…What Should We Do?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

trump-keeps-his-coronavirus-news-conference-focused-on-one-high-risk-patient-himself

“Because of all we’ve done, the risk to the American people remains very low. We’re ready to adapt, and we’re ready to do whatever we have to.” – President Donald J. Trump

FoxNews.com reports that

The nation’s first coronavirus case of unknown origin has been confirmed in Northern California, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed Wednesday.

“It is a confirmed case. There is one in Northern California,” CDC spokesman Scott Pauley told the Sacramento Bee.

The new case brings the number of infected in the United States to 60, which includes people who’ve been repatriated to the U.S. The CDC said the person contracted the virus without traveling outside the U.S. or coming into close contact with another infected patient, The Washington Post reported.

The news comes as fear over the virus continues to spread worldwide, prompting governments to take extreme measures. President Trump said a vaccine was being developed and “coming along very well” during a Wednesday evening news conference at the White House.

He announced that he was putting Vice President Mike Pence in charge of the coronavirus task force.

“Because of all we’ve done, the risk to the American people remains very low,” Trump told reporters. “We’re ready to adapt, and we’re ready to do whatever we have to.”

Earlier this week, San Francisco and Orange counties both declared states of emergency in efforts to prevent further infections. Orange County leaders also publically supported a bid by Costa Mesa leaders to block infected patients from being housed in their city.

Globally, nearly 2,800 people have died from the outbreak and more than 80,000 have been sickened.

It has been interesting following the developments as this virus has spread from China to other countries including Iran and Italy.

And now, it appears that Northern California is the scene of the first “outbreak” in America.

The loss of life in these other countries has indeed been tragic.

However, so has been the politicization of the Coronavirus as another opportunity for the Democrats to blame something on President Donald J. Trump.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi put down her glass long enough to spout the following babble per Breitbart.com…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday accused the Trump administration of responding “too late” to halt the possible spread of China’s deadly coronavirus in the United States.

“This is shameful,” Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked about the administration sending a $2.5 billion supplemental budget request to combat the illness. “He puts forth a proposal now that is meager, anemic in terms of addressing this. Ebola, we did $5 billion. And now they’re trying to take the Ebola money and spend it here.”

“Hopefully we can make up for the loss of time…and not be using scare tactics about people coming back to our country.”

“What he’s doing is late, too late, anemic,” she added. “Hopefully, we can make up for the loss of time but we have to have professionals in place, resources that are adequate and not use scare tactics about people coming back to our country.”

The administration’s request proposes spending unused funds earmarked to fight Ebola, with officials seeking $1.25 billion in new money for vaccine development and purchasing protective equipment.

Asked for her thoughts on President Donald Trump’s comments about the coronavirus, Pelosi replied tersely: “I don’t think the President knows what he’s talking about. Once again.”

And, I think you’re drunk, Madam Speaker. But, what else is new.

Now, as an America male in my early 60s, who is in front of the public all day, a new virus strain does indeed concern me, especially since I am asthmatic, am prone to upper respiratory infections, and I tend to get very tired in the process of performing the duties of my day job.

However, I do not believe that it is time to panic…yet.

Why did the scene from the 1975 Classic Comedy “Airplane” where the passengers are “assuming crash position”, running berserk through the cabin suddenly enter my mind?

Anyway, Dr. Manny Alvarez serves as Fox News Channel’s senior managing health editor. He also serves as chairman of the department of obstetrics/gynecology and reproductive science at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey.

Here are some facts and some common sense suggestions from an article which he wrote for FoxNews.com…

  1. Let’s start with facts. What do we know so far about this virus?

  2. It is a very contagious virus — just like any flu virus — and appears to transmit itself very similarly through direct contact with infected patients.

  3. In otherwise healthy individuals the viral infection is tolerated and most patients recover without any significant effects.

  4. For about 20 percent of patients who do require medical attention (such as hospitalization) with good medical treatment and support they will ultimately recover from the virus.

About two percent of patients infected with the virus will die from upper respiratory complications.

Based on the facts above, until there is a vaccine, the war to protect ourselves will need to be waged by individuals and the government. We’ll need to keep informed about what areas of the United States are reporting cases of coronavirus. And, everyone should always consider practicing good hygiene. That includes doing the following:

  1. Avoid those people who are sick with the virus

  2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth

  3. Practice good hand hygiene — wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 2 minutes

  4. Disinfect surfaces

I read yesterday that Lysol is the recommended disinfectant to help prevent the spread of diseases like the coronavirus.

In summary, per usual, Pelosi and the Democrats have put politics over country, self-interest of Americans and our well-being. I am thankful that our President is Donald J. Trump with this uncertainty facing us. I shudder to think about how Hillary Clinton would deal with this situation, especially since she would have doubled down on Obamacare by now, leaving us and our American Health System totally screwed.

Keep yourself as protected as possible.

Gob bless us…everyone.

Bernie Releases “Fact Sheet” of Proposed Government Programs Funded By Taxes Increases and Massive Lawsuits…His Ideas, Our Money

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

01-bernie-jobs-dt-600

To sell socialism and communism, you cannot get specific. You have to speak in platitudes.

I mean, after all, who can argue with “justice”? Who can argue with “fairness”? Don’t let them figure out that what your campaign is really about is anger and envy and hatred and control. That is what’s propelling Bernie’s supporters. You take a look at ’em. They think Bernie is all about getting even with somebody and making somebody pay for having more, for doing more, for being better, what have you.

But you must, above all things, stay away from details. You have to stay away from how much your “fairness” will cost. You have to stay away from the things like the rights that you will lose in the process of the government gaining control. You stay away from the fact that you’re gonna be taking people’s private property away from ’em. That’s not feel-good rhetoric. So you avoid all details — like calling indoctrination “a literacy program,” propaganda “a literacy program.” – Rush Limbaugh, 2/24/2020

FoxNews.com reports that

Bernie Sanders released a fact sheet Monday night explaining that he’d pay for his sweeping new government programs through new taxes and massive lawsuits, as well as by slashing spending on the military, among other methods.

The effort sought to head off complaints from Republicans and some rival Democrats that his plans were economically unrealistic, especially after a head-turning CBS News Interview in which the frustrated Vermont senator said he couldn’t “rattle off to you every nickle and every dime” about his proposed expenditures.

He released his plan on his website just minutes after promising to do so during a CNN town hall.

However, the fact-sheet highlighted for the first time that many of Sanders’ expected cost-saving measures relied heavily on conjecture. For example, Sanders’ document asserts matter-of-factly that a “modest tax on Wall Street speculation … will raise an estimated $2.4 trillion over ten years” and, in one fell swoop, make all “public colleges, universities and trade schools tuition-free … and cancel all student debt over the next decade.”

Sanders’ projections also stated without providing details that his Green New Deal plan would create “20 million new jobs,” thus ensuring $2.3 trillion in “new income tax revenue.”

Additionally, Sanders promised that by “averting climate catastrophe we will save: $2.9 trillion over 10 years, $21 trillion over 30 years and $70.4 trillion over 80 years.” No information was provided to validate that assertion, although the Trump administration’s National Climate Assessment found that it was possible climate change could reduce the size of the U.S. economy by 10 percent by the end of the century, assuming no substantial changes in technology or policy occur.

Sanders claimed to be able to raise “$3.085 trillion by making the fossil fuel industry pay for their pollution, through litigation, fees, and taxes, and eliminating federal fossil fuel subsidies.” He has repeatedly suggested on the campaign trail that he would direct the Justice Department to pursue the fossil fuel industry, although it was unclear how successful that legal strategy would be.

On health care, although some nonpartisan estimates have put the cost of Sanders’ “Medicare-for-all” proposal at over $32 trillion, Sanders’ fact-sheet doubled down on a “proposed a menu of financing options that would more than pay” for the program.

Among the available options: “creating a 4 percent income-based premium paid by employees, exempting the first $29,000 in income for a family of four,” as well as imposing a 7.5 percent “income-based premium paid by employers, exempting the first $1 million in payroll to protect small businesses.”

Other savings would come from eliminating “health tax expenditures, which would no longer be needed under Medicare for All,” and “raising the top marginal income tax rate to 52% on income over $10 million.”

Reducing defense spending by “$1.215 trillion” would be achievable by “scaling back military operations on protecting the global oil supply,” Sanders’ fact-sheet continued. Defense spending is slated to total $934 billion from Oct. 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021.

Oh, wow.

He’s shoveling it with both hands, isn’t he?

Politicians, especially Liberal ones have always made Campaign Promises which they had no intentions of keeping…because they couldn’t.

Bernie is pulling ideas out of his hindquarters and expecting gullible Americans to believe him.

Just like other Communists before him, he is relying on “useful idiots” to achieve his dream of a huge Nanny-State Central Government, running the proletariat’s lives from cradle to grave.

If you believe that somehow Bernie Sanders could control the Earth’s climate resulting in savings over “$2.9 trillion”, then I have an autographed Harvey Weinstein Walker to sell you, used only to get in and out of the courtroom.

And, if you believe that a “Green New Deal” would create “20 million jobs”, then you were not paying attention during the Solyndra and GreenTech Automotive fiascos.

Bernie Sanders has no clue as to how to be the leader of the greatest country on God’s green Earth because his loyalty is not to the American people…it is to the tenets of a failed political ideology.

And that, as confirmed by his illogical “fact sheet”, makes him a very dangerous man.

Bernie has made his living off of American Taxpayers for several decades now, sitting on Capitol Hill and not accomplishing a darn thing except taking up space…and raking in money.

Reading his proposals as reported by Fox News made me think of the old sitcom “Family Matters and Steve Urkel. Immediately after Urkel screwed something up, causing a disaster, he would say,

“Oh, did I do that?”

If somehow Bernie became President and implemented some of his ludicrous proposals, leading to an invasion by foreign forces or America resembling Socialism-scavenged Venezuela, I can envision Bernie saying the same thing.

Only, no one would be laughing.

Until He Comes,
