El Perdedor
I’ve been watching the results and it does not look good for Bloomberg. He can try to buy the nomination, but he can’t buy charisma. It what could be one of his most cringeworthy moments, he pronounced Texas as ‘Tejas,’ presumably to garner hispanic votes.
I’ve never heard Texans call it ‘Tejas,’ just Texas. I expect Bloomberg to do a lot of losing tonight.

Pete Buttigieg and Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota have dropped out of the race after behind the curtain lobbying. Klobuchar and Buttigieg both endorsed Biden, which was no surprise. The Democrats are doing everything to prevent Bernie from becoming their candidate. The plot still thickens for the scuttlebutt remains that if they can stop Bernie on the first ballot then the party will draft Hillary.
Joe Biden scored a victory in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Oklahoma while Elizabeth Warren lost both her home state of Oklahoma and Massachusetts which is never a good sign. Bloomberg’s only victory was the American Samoa, which awarded him just five delegates. He did come in second in Colorado and Utah. At a rally in West Palm Beach, Fla. Tuesday night, Bloomberg vowed to press on. The Super Tuesday primaries have shaped up as a day of reckoning for billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg who spent more than $500 million of his vast fortune on TV ads, pushing a message of competence, but trails everywhere in the Democratic presidential race. Bloomberg is used to getting his own way. However, he was unable to buy the While House. At this point, he seems to be spending lavishly for an ego trip.
Bernie Sanders won his home state of Vermont and later racked up wins in Colorado and Utah. Sanders will come in second in Massachusetts, which has 91 delegates easily beating Elizabeth Warren who will finish a disappointing third in her home state.
At 11PM EST, California has not posted any results. Bernie had won California before but the votes were stolen and handed to Hillary. Many people are wondering if the Democrats will really let Bernie take California. If there are no games, Bernie should win California this time around. California election officials claim a connectivity issue involving the California Secretary of State’s voter file database forced local vote centers in 15 counties, including Sacramento, to look up voters’ info and print ballots manually. This has interestingly slowed the process considerably for a number of voters Tuesday morning. If Bernie does not win California, there will be serious allegations against California this time around.
Nonetheless, a federal judge on Monday ordered former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit related to her use of a private email server while at the State Department. The entire issue centers on the fact that she used a private server to skirt the Freedom of Information Act. In a lawsuit filed more than five years ago by Judicial Watch, the court correctly ruled that by using a private mail server, she was able to destroy documents, shield what she was doing, and escape having to turn over documents under the Freedom of Information Act. This is coming perhaps in time for the Democratic Convention which will begin on July 13, 2020, and run until Thursday, July 16, 2020.
This is a fantastic and well-timed video that cuts to the heart of the matter. John Spiropoulos has produced an exceptional video outlining the structural issues within the FISA process. This video succinctly outlines the modern history of FISA abuse issues and highlights why we must use this critical moment to reform the FISA process. WATCH:
.
Share this video with those who need a fast encapsulation of the FISA issues at hand.
According to Senator Rand Paul, President Trump is committed to seeing that FISA is not reauthorized without “significant” reform. Senator Paul has proposed to significantly change the FISA process by forcing the DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community to apply for search and surveillance warrants to Title-3 courts in order to access any NSA database containing private information of American citizens.
Current FISA authority expires on March 15th. The Senate is scheduled to go back into recess March 13, 2020. Additionally, the DOJ/FBI response to the FISA court order (due February 5th) has still not been made public. If congress is going to reauthorize the controversial FISA provisions, they now have nine days.
Prior to the December 9, 2019, inspector general report on FISA abuse, FISA Court judges Rosemary Collyer (declassified 2017) and James Boasberg (declassified 2019) both identified issues with the NSA bulk database collection program being exploited for unauthorized reasons.
For the past several years no corrective action taken by the intelligence community has improved the abuses outlined by the FISA court.
Also keep in mind the deadline for the DOJ to respond to the FISA court about the abusive intelligence practices identified in the Horowitz report was February 5th, more than four weeks ago. The responses from the DOJ and FBI have not been made public.
It appears the DOJ is trying to get the FISA reauthorization passed before the FISC declassifies the corrective action outlined from the prior court order. This response would also include information about the “sequestering” of evidence gathered as a result of the now admitted fraudulent and misrepresented information within the FISA applications.
The FISA “business records provision”, the “roving wiretap” provision, the “lone wolf” provision, and the more controversial bulk metadata provisions [Call Detail Records (CDR)], again all parts of the Patriot Act, must not be reauthorized without a full public vetting of the abuses that have taken place for the past several years.
The position being put forth by Rand Paul is exactly correct. Change the law so that FISA can only be used against foreign actors, and force the DOJ or intelligence apparatus to go to a normal Title-3 court for a search/surveillance warrant against any American.
Senator Rand Paul reported earlier this evening that he met with President Trump in the White House to discuss the pending FISA reauthorization. According to Senator Paul President Trump will not support reauthorization without “significant FISA reform”.
Senator Paul appears with Lou Dobbs to discuss the latest developments. The position being put forth by Rand Paul is exactly correct. Change the law so that FISA can only be used against foreign actors, and force the DOJ or intelligence apparatus to go to a normal Title-3 court for a search/surveillance warrant against any American.

In November of 2019 buried deep in the congressional budget Continuing Resolution (CR) was a short-term extension to reauthorize the FISA “business records provision”, the “roving wiretap” provision, the “lone wolf” provision, and the more controversial bulk metadata provisions [Call Detail Records (CDR)], all parts of the Patriot Act. As a result of the FISA CR inclusion the terminal deadline was pushed to March 15, 2020.

At a minimum the pending DOJ/FBI response to the FISA court needs to be made public prior to any reauthorization by congress. And to better understand the scale of the issue, the consequences when the system is abused, the upstream sequester material needs to be made public.
Let the American public see what investigative evidence was unlawfully gathered, and let us see who and what was exposed by the fraudulently obtained FISA warrants. At a minimum congress and the American people need to understand the scale of what can happen when the system is wrong – BEFORE that exact same system is reauthorized.
Declassification of existing records would reveal the November 2015 through April 2016 FISA-702 search query abuse as outlined in the April 2017 court opinion written by FISC Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer. Who exactly are these private sector FBI contractors behind the 85% fraudulent search queries? This was a weaponized surveillance and domestic political spying operation. [The trail was laid down in specific detail by Judge Collyer – SEE HERE]
The U.S. constitution’s fourth amendment is being violated by the continued abuse of bulk metadata collection, particularly when private contractors and government officials illegally access the system. The 2016 FISA review (party declassified in 2017) and the 2018 FISA review (party declassified in 2019) both show ongoing and systematic wrongdoing despite all prior corrective action and promises.
This needs to be stopped.
Today is Super Tuesday where 14 states and two territories vote in the presidential primary. Polls begin closing at 7 p.m. Eastern, in Vermont, Virginia and parts of Alabama. The first state call of the night for Democrats will probably be Vermont; the home-state for Senator Bernie Sanders. Massachusetts closes at 8pm, will Warren hold her home-state?
The media will follow the Club rules on election day reporting. Results favorable to Joe Biden or ‘Never Bernie’ will be released first and emphasized. Results favorable to Bernie Sanders will be delayed and downplayed. This is also the first set of ballots that will include Mini-mike Bloomberg. The narrative coming out of this evening is critical.
♦ Vermont (16 delegates), polls close 7pm ET – ♦ Virginia (99 delegates) polls close at 7pm ET – ♦ North Carolina (110 delegates) polls close 7:30pm ET – ♦ Alabama (52 delegates), most polls close 8pm ET – ♦ Maine (24 delegates), polls close 8pm ET – ♦ Massachusetts (91 delegates), polls close 8pm ET – ♦ Oklahoma (37 delegates), polls close 8pm ET – ♦ Tennessee (64 delegates), polls close 8pm ET – ♦ Texas (228 delegates), polls close 8pm ET – ♦ Arkansas (31 delegates), polls close 8:30pm ET – ♦ Colorado (67 delegates), polls close 9pm ET – ♦ Minnesota (75 delegates), polls close 9pm ET – ♦ Utah (29 delegates), polls close at 10pm ET – and ♦ California (415 delegates), polls close 11pm ET.
Earlier today the notoriously political and corrupt former FBI Director, James Comey, provided his endorsement for Joe Biden in the Democrat primary.
.
Yesterday the notoriously political and corrupt former CIA Director, John Brennan, also gave his full-throated endorsement for Joe Biden….
.
…Which begs the question.
If Joe Biden were ever to win the office of the presidency, who exactly would be running it?
Methinks Ms. Brazile doth protest too much. The Mamet Principle on steroids… Fox News contributor, former DNC chairwoman and current superdelegate Donna Brazile loses her cool when confronted about the DNC Club manipulating the race to stop Bernie Sanders.
Considering that Donna Brazile personally worked in 2016 to eliminate Bernie Sanders by giving advanced copies of townhall questions to the preferred club candidate Hillary Clinton, the protestations from Brazile today are particularly rich. WATCH:
.
In November 2017 DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile penned an article in Politico laying out brutal sunlight upon the Clinton control over the DNC and how the party apparatus was used by the Clinton campaign in the 2016 election. Essentially, every complaint held by Bernie Sanders and his supporters was confirmed. –SEE HERE-
The bottom line in the expose’ was that everything previously claimed by Team Bernie, and denied by the DNC, was actually happening. The 2016 Democrat primary election was a complete con, a fraud; and so too is the 2020 process.
About a decade ago, David Mamet wrote a rather controversial op-ed for the Village Voice titled: “Why I am No Longer a Brain-Dead Liberal“. A few years later Mamet followed up with an excellent book titled: “The Secret Knowledge“.
After a life amid a tribe of toxic liberalism, Mamet began to choke on the inherent hypocrisy of it all. He began to point out that hypocrisy, causing his tribe to go bananas and dispatch him as if he were spreading Ebola. Later in his evolution he connected the hypocritical dots to the natural outcomes and said:
…”in order for modern Liberals [leftists] to retain their tenuous grip on their ideology, they have to pretend not to know things”…
Ohio congressman Jim Jordan appears on Fox News to discuss the current status of FISA reauthorization and the reason why reforms to the process are needed. Additionally, Jordan outlines why there is partisan resistance to the nomination of John Ratcliffe as Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
.
Representatives requesting FISA reform prior to renewal include: Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Doug Collins, Jody Rice, Devin Nunes and Steve Scalise. Additionally, Senators Mike Lee, Ted Cruz and Senator Rand Paul are trying to force reform or let the current version expire. AG Bill Barr is requesting a clean FISA renewal with no reforms or revisions. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham support the AG request.
Mayor “Pete the cheat” outed himself from the Democratic race for president.
Why would he do this only a couple days from Super Tuesday? Most likely because the Deep State wants Biden to win. They definitely don’t want Bernie, who is not part of their Big Club.
Mayor Pete is part of the Club. He’s doing a job for them. Pete already did his best to cheat Bernie out of the Iowa caucus. Now he’ll try to do Bernie more damage by dropping out.

CNN has called Buttigieg ‘historic’ for being the first ‘outed’ gay candidate for president. Look for Pete to land a job in the Biden administration. Or become a commentator on CNN. He may even receive a beach house. One thing is for certain, Buttigieg is not going away.

Today is Super Tuesday where 14 states and two territories vote in the presidential primary (listed below). There are a total of 1,320 delegates up for grabs representing 34 percent of all available delegates. Approximately 40 percent of all American voters will be voting today. At the end of today we will likely have an even better idea of whether the DNC will end up with a brokered convention.
Bernie Sanders is hoping for at least 50 percent of the total available delegates with a heavy focus on Texas, California, Massachusetts and Minnesota. Club Favorite Joe Biden is hoping for a strong showing in southern states, and second-place proportional delegates in Texas and California. Biden and Bloomberg are hoping to block Bernie. Mini-mike has staked his reputation and spent $500 million to win delegates today from anywhere.
However, Elizabeth Warren is hoping to become a very important king-maker by gathering just enough of the delegates Bernie needs & then entering talks with both sides.
Below you will find a list of states voting today along with the number of delegates for each state and territory. If you are voting today feel free to share your ground report. What’s the turnout like in your local precinct?
♦Alabama: Open primary, with 52 pledged delegates being awarded on a proportional basis.
