Sleepy Joe Biden is running for senator, er, governor, er, president and he just won the South Carolina primary. Creepy Joe is now going into ‘Super Tuesday’ with some momentum. In fact, pundits are already saying the race is now between Biden and Bernie.
I hope it’s Crazy Joe Biden. Not only will he provide plenty of subject matter for cartoons, but he will also stand the least amount of chance against President Trump. Sure, they’re saying Bernie would be the weakest candidate, but I’m not so sure of that. Bernie is offering the malarky of ‘free stuff,’ and that’s why he’s currently in the lead. Besides, I don’t want a crackpot communist to be any closer to the presidency.
So let’s put on another record on the ol’ record player and hope it’s sniffin,’ kissn,’ gropin’ Joe. Leg hair combing Joe. Mumbling, stumbling, gaffe-machine Joe.
The odds of a brokered Democrat convention have increased significantly after a big win by Joe Biden in South Carolina; not as much because of the vote result, but more as an outcome of watching how the Club coalesced the background narrative.
As a result of his overwhelming win in the palmetto state Joe Biden now has more primary votes cast for him than Sanders. At this moment, Biden is winning the popular vote.
With Bloomberg’s fatally flawed debate performances helping to move the non-Bernie voters toward Joe Biden; and with the fingerprints of the party apparatus visible in the way South Carolina rolled out; it is clear Biden is now the DNC Club’s preferred candidate to stop Bernie ‘Fidel‘ Sanders.
Most of the thirteen Super Tuesday states will likely be significant wins for Fidel Sanders. California and Texas will provide major delegates toward his primary effort, and he will likely receive additional delegates from strong finishes in every state he doesn’t win. However, Biden is now going to be pushed hard, and financially fueled by the Club apparatus.
As the Club begins to put the players into position, Senator Amy Klobuchar will stay in the race until after her home state of Minnesota votes Tuesday to keep Bernie from additional lift. Amy will likely endorse Biden on Wednesday. Buttigieg soon thereafter. The Club officers, or the DNC establishment per se’, will put pressure on all club members.
Mini-mike Bloomberg has structured his entire campaign around Super-Tuesday; however, it now looks like $500+ million wasted. When and how Bloomberg concedes defeat to Biden is a matter for Club negotiation. Club leadership will start executing the media messaging now, the rough outline was visible in the Biden victory speech.
Biden will take the passive-aggressive lane and claim the morality message, painting himself as the arbiter of decency. Media will fall-in line. The Club and peers will paint Bernie as a divisive candidate with violent and vitriolic tendencies. Any act of aggression, verbally or visibly by Bernie supporters, will be used to amplify that narrative. That baseline plays short-term against Fidel Sanders and long-term against President Trump.
A divisive Bernie narrative, built upon the image of toxicity, is needed for a DNC convention where the Socialist wing will come to the convention with a great deal of delegates. Positioning the Sanders coalition as extreme and incapable of governing will play well for the votes of the Super-delegates who could ultimately decide the nominee.
Jane Sanders is likely scrolling real estate websites book-marking options for the opulent retreat they will select to heal their wounded sensibilities; while still controlling the direction of an oblivious progressive caucus…. Socialism at its most predictable outcome.
The Club is really good with manipulative astroturf tactics. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some remarkable DNC schemes deployed against the Sanders campaign in March, April and May. The DNC four-day convention is scheduled for Milwaukee Wisconsin July 13th-16th.
It should be noted that Wisconsin is the home of a large radical population, and the DNC convention; a battle for the heart of the Democrat party; will be taking place on the home turf of some of the most angry & organized Bernie Sanders supporters in the country.
Billionaire Tom Steyer has quit the Democrat race for president after spending $200+ million in South Carolina, more than $250 million overall, and coming in a distant third place without a single delegate.
(Via NBC) – Tom Steyer, the California activist billionaire who has largely been a nonfactor in the Democratic primary campaign, dropped out of the race on Saturday night.
Steyer’s departure came after a disappointing finish in the South Carolina Democratic primary. With 56 percent of the vote in, Steyer had just 11.7 percent of the vote — despite spending millions of dollars on campaigning there. (read more)
Polls close 7:00pm ET today in South Carolina for the important Democrat presidential primary contest. The state is seen as a must win for Joe Biden; and if successful, his future viability will be measured by the size of the victory. A narrow win won’t put voter doubts to rest, but a double-digit win will signal to The Club that he’s back in it.
Candidates must win 15 percent of South Carolina votes to get any of the 54 delegates. If the polling was accurate Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar and Steyer could be locked out.
Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg is not on the ballot; however, mini-mike’s prospects of success going into Super Tuesday hinge on Biden failing. Bloomberg and Biden represent The Club’s best hope to head-off Bernie Sanders. But Fidel Sanders is well positioned.
If Fidel wins South Carolina any hope of stopping him from the nomination is lost.
Get ready for Hillary Clinton, ‘The Newest Newsie’.
Ever-insidious Hillary Clinton has found what she thinks is a new way to get in the public’s face in time for the run-up to Election 2020.
Proving that she got as much know-how as she did donations from convicted sexual predator movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, she’s getting ready to hit radio airwaves in late spring.
According to Politico, “The former first lady and 2016 candidate, known for her deep distrust of the media, is about to become the media herself.” (Politico, Feb. 27, 2020)
But not mentioned in the Politico account, some 95 percent of the media were in the tank for Clinton when she ran in 2016. Not just mainstream support, including the New York Times and Washington Post, but social media Google and Facebook who tried but failed to push her over the finish line.
Hillary Clinton was “the media herself” long before seeking new relevancy with podcasts.
“The yet-to-be-titled show will be co-produced by audio giant iHeartMedia, which produces original content such as Will Ferrell’s “The Ron Burgundy Podcast,” and, through iHeartRadio, is also a major distributor for the biggest names in conservative talk radio.(Politico)
“They include a who’s who of right-wing commentators who have pilloried Clinton and her family over the years: Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro, and Sean Hannity.”
Only an arrogant Hillary Clinton, cheered on by feminists ‘You go, girl!’ chants” would think she could be a bigger listener draw that Limbaugh, Levin et al.
“But it was Clinton’s recent experience with two other famous interviewers that influenced the kind of show she wanted to create. Last fall, Clinton and her daughter Chelsea recorded an episode of Conan O’Brien’s audio show, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.” They were promoting The Book of Gutsy Women, their co-authored collection of stories about women who have inspired them. (Politico)
According to “someone close to Clinton”, this is the coming show’s format:
“She wants to try to have a wider-ranging conversation that will be lasting, so you can listen to it in a year or you can listen to it tomorrow and it will be interesting. And then of course she’ll do some ranting and raving about news of the day.”
What about all of those who can only tolerate Hillary in small doses?
Fresh from the Believe it or Not Department:
“The other radio personality who influenced the format and style of the new Hillary Clinton show was even more unusual: Howard Stern.
“Clinton had avoided Stern for decades when she was in the White House, Senate, Obama administration and as a presidential candidate. She finally agreed to appear on Stern’s show late last year during her promotional book tour. It was scheduled to be an hourlong session, but Clinton quickly succumbed to Stern’s well-known skills at getting his guests to open up with a mix of flattery, empathy and emotional mirroring.
“Stern and Clinton ended up recording for almost 2½ hours, producing Stern’s longest interview for a non-musician in the show’s history.
“Clinton was unfiltered.”
“She joked that she “likes men” despite “what you may have heard,” discussed how Sen. Lindsey Graham may have suffered a “brain snatch,” complained that Bernie Sanders’ delayed endorsement in 2016 “hurt me,” and recalled that, when she phoned Trump to concede the election, “he was so shocked he could barely talk.”
“There is some irony that Clinton has gravitated to doing a podcast. As Stern repeatedly shows, what makes for a great interview is when a subject opens up and offers windows into character, motivation, relationships — the very things that Clinton the candidate was often unwilling to do. Her guardedness led critics to regard her as “inauthentic,” which arguably harmed her two presidential campaigns.
“Overall the project is guided by the spirit of Clinton’s recent media blitz: the Stern podcast, a recent podcast with David Plouffe in which she suggested that Tulsi Gabbard was being groomed by the Russians, and an interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote a new Hulu documentary series in which she says of Sanders, “Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done.”
“The show also continues the trend of former major political leaders, especially Democrats, becoming media entrepreneurs. After he lost the 2000 election, Al Gore created his own TV network and starred in an important documentary about climate change. Upon leaving office, the Obamas created Higher Ground, a multimedia production company whose first documentary, “American Factory,” just won an Oscar. If Trump had lost in 2016, he was reportedly prepared to start his own conservative media organization.”
But the fact that Clinton has never been able to believe is that Trump didn’t lose the 2016 election but won it.
“Another focus of the show for Clinton is to use the podcast to share good news about problems that are actually being solved rather than produce yet another regular conversation strictly about how the world is going to hell.” (Politico)
She’ll have to dig deep in order “to share good news about problems that are actually being solved” with Desperado, do-nothing Dems now running Congress where no problems are actually getting solved.
Meanwhile, the best thing about Hillary’s upcoming podcasts is that they cannot take you by surprise. Like all podcasts, viewers have to specifically log in.
In other words, the best thing about Hillary Clinton’s coming podcasts is you don’t have to tune in on them.
House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes appears on Fox News to discuss his outlook on the nomination of John Ratcliffe as Director of National Intelligence.
Additionally, Nunes discusses how the Democrats are attempting to weaponize the Coronavirus scare and information about a new Ukrainian investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden and their corrupt influence scheme surrounding Burisma.
Chopper pressers are the best pressers. Departing the White House for a rally in South Carolina, the president stopped to answer questions from the press pool. [Video and Transcript below]
.
[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. I’m going to South Carolina, a big rally. A lot of people — thousands of people outside and it’s going to be very exciting. We have a big day tomorrow, in terms of the Democrats watching. See what happens. And then, on Tuesday, you have a very big day, so it will be interesting to see.
We’re at the same number. A lot of people are getting better. Very much better. The 15 number. Plus we took in, as you know — from Japan, we took in some great American people and citizens and they’re getting better very rapidly. They’re doing very well. All of them are doing well.
The 15 people, likewise, we have them down to a much lower number. They’re in good shape. Most of them are in really good shape. One of the people is — I wouldn’t say “not doing well,” but it’s very — she’s very sick. But she’s hopefully getting better.
But we’re at the same number. We’ve only — so, it — essentially, we’ve only had 15. And a lot of that is because we called it early. We — we were — we made a decision very early to close up our borders to certain areas of the world and we did that. And so we are hopefully getting lower from that number, but let’s see what happens into the future.
Some countries are doing well; some countries are not doing well. You can see that for yourself. And a lot of things are happening. We’re very well organized. We have great talent, great doctors, great — great everyone. There’s tremendous spirit. A lot of spirit.
And, as you know, with the flu, on average, we lose from 26,000 to 78,000 people a year — even more than that, in some cases, some years. We haven’t lost anybody yet. And hopefully, we can keep that intact. We — there have been no deaths in the United States at all. A lot of that is attributable to the fact that we closed the border very early. Otherwise, it could be a different story.
So we’ll — we’ll just keep doing a good job. We’re ordering a lot of supplies. We’re ordering a lot of — a lot of elements that, frankly, we wouldn’t be ordering unless it was something like this. But we’re ordering a lot of different elements of medical. We are working on cures and we’re getting some very good results.
As you know, they’re working as rapidly as they can on a vaccine for the future. And, with that, I think I can head out.
Q Mr. President, what can your administration do to limit the risk of an economic recession?
Q This is the worst week for stocks since the financial crisis. Is this more of an economic or public health crisis?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think it’s just people don’t know. It’s the unknown. You know, they look at it and they say, “How long will this last?” I think they’re not very happy with the Democrat candidates, when they see them. I think that has an impact.
And we think — we think we’re going to win. We think we’re going to win easily, but you never know. It’s an election. I don’t think that’s helping.
But I think that, basically, it’s the unknown a little bit. But I feel very confident and our people are doing a fantastic job.
And again, we haven’t seen an increase and people are getting better. Almost everybody that we see is getting better. And it could be everybody, too.
Q (Inaudible) it is a crisis? And how much time are you spending on it?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I — well, I’m spending a lot of time on it, just in coordination. Mike Tence [sic] — Pence is doing a great job. Dr. Fauci — Dr. Fauci is great. They’re all doing, really, a fanta- — Alex Azar is right on top of it. We’re all watching it very closely. We don’t want any bad surprises.
Q Sir, on Syria — on Syria, do you think NATO should help Turkey in Syria to protect Turkish soldiers in Syria or not?
THE PRESIDENT: What is it?
Q Should NATO be involved in protec- — helping Turkey to protect its soldiers in Syria?
THE PRESIDENT: You’re going to have to speak up. This thing is —
Q Mr. President, will you expand the travel ban to the countries that aren’t allowed in — for example, from Italy?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we’re looking at that right now and we’re looking at a couple of countries — a few countries that have a little bit disproportionately high number. And we’re going to make that decision very soon.
Q And then, is this a hoax? Your Chief of Staff seemed to suggest that our coverage of this was a hoax. Do you think this is a hoax?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that the media is — yes, I think that CNN is a very disreputable network. I think they’re doing everything they can to instill fear in people and I think it’s ridiculous. And I think they’re very disreputable.
And some of the Democrats are doing it the way it should be, but some of them are trying to gain political favor by saying a lot of untruths.
The fact is, I made one decision that was a very important decision and that was to close our country to a certain area of the world that was relatively heavily infected. And because of that, we’re talking about 15 — who seem to all be getting better. One is questionable.
And, had that decision not been made, it could be a much different story. So, some people are giving us credit —
Q (Inaudible) the CDC has overestimated the risk?
THE PRESIDENT: Quiet. Some people are giving us credit for that, and some people aren’t. But the only ones that aren’t, they don’t mean it; it’s political. It’s politics.
So, speaking of politics, I’m going to South Carolina. I think we’re going to do fantastically there and it will be very interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
Thank you.
Q Are you talking to CEOs about the stock market, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: Say it?
Q Are you talking to CEOs about the stock market, sir? What are they telling you, the business community?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think the stock market is a reflection of this, plus I also think the people are not happy when they look at what’s running on the other side. You know, it is an election and I think we’re going to do very well in the election, but it still is an election and I don’t think people are very inspired when they see the people running on the other side.
But we’re going to win and that’ll solve that problem. And after we win, you’ll see a rise in the stock market like you haven’t seen before.
Q Have you talked to the Fed about intervening or doing something?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I hope the Fed gets involved. You know, I’m not a big fan of the Fed. You know that. I think they make a lot of mistakes. They’ve made a lot of mistakes. But I hope the Fed gets involved and I hope they get involved soon.
If you look at Germany, they’re putting in a lot of money and they’re probably lowering rates still further. You look at other countries; they’re all stuffing the till. They’re all going in there. They’re putting a lot of money. And our Fed sits there, doesn’t do what they’re supposed to be doing. But that’s up to them. That’s up to them. They’re independent. But they’ve done this country a great disservice.
In the background of the impeachment effort the House Judiciary Committee (HJC) led by Chairman Jerry Nadler was seeking: (1) Mueller grand jury material; (2) a deposition by former White House counsel Don McGahn; and less importantly (3) Trump financial and tax records. Each of these cases were then argued in federal court, appellate courts (6e and McGahn) and the supreme court (financials/taxes).
In November 2019 activist Federal District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson ruled Don McGahn must appear before Congress; however, she also ruled McGahn retained the ability to “invoke executive privilege where appropriate” during his appearance.
The White House appealed the ruling to the DC appellate court on constitutional grounds. Today a three judge panel from the DC circuit agreed with the White House position.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump scored a major legal victory on Friday when a federal appeals court panel ruled Democrats have no right to hear testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit’s ruling overturned a lower court decision requiring McGahn’s testimony and told the judge presiding over the case to dismiss it outright. The ruling is a blow to House Democrats’ attempts to break the Trump administration’s intransigent stance that it can block Congress from talking to witnesses. (link)
This ruling also undermines the ridiculous “obstruction” article of impeachment because it shows the White House had a justifiable and constitutional argument to make against the House in the judicial branch. The issue at stake was whether the legislative branch can penetrate the constitutional firewall which exists within the separation of powers.
After the November ruling, House Judiciary Committee counsel Doug Letter argued to the DC Appeals Court that the forced testimony of White House counsel Don McGahn was needed for evidence in their impeachment trial. [Court pdf Avail Here] The DC appeals court decision rebuked the House position that penetrating the constitutional firewall was adequately predicated:
The House Judiciary Committee could appeal for an en banc hearing of the full DC Appeals Court. We’ll have to wait and see if they do. However, it’s unlikely the HJC would succeed. The central issue is separation of power. DC Circuit spells out the deadline House Democrats for a rehearing before the entire DC Circuit is March 9th.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas this week failed to get his colleagues to review his own 2005 decision in the Brand X case — which relies on, and expands, the famous 1984 Chevron decision granting deference to federal agencies to interpret statutes when Congress is vague. Justice Thomas fears these precendents have become unconstitional grants of power to faceless bureaucrats. In the case that failed to get a writ of certiorari, IRS bureacrats decided that Howard and Karen Baldwin wouldn’t get the $168,000 in overpaid taxes due them.
