South Carolina Primary Election Results – Polls Close 7:00pm ET


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on February 29, 2020 by 

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.

Dancing With the Devil

Dancing With the Devil

“When you dance with the devil, you don’t get to pick the tune.”—Sherrilyn Kenyon

All you Democrats…you entertained the hard left, beckoned them, invited them in to your ‘big tent’. You thought you could use them, manipulate them, and control them. You thought they cared. You thought you were so cool, playing world-class politics, having a slick answer for everything.

You have been had and you deserve it.

You are about to be taken over by hard-core communists, led by a ne’er-do-well, odious, atheist, corrupt politician

You are about to be taken over by hard-core communists, led by a ne’er-do-well, odious, atheist, corrupt politician, having never had a steady private-sector job in his life. He spent much of his pre-political career collecting unemployment checks, thrown out of a hippie commune for not pulling his weight… had a brief stint as a porn writer, and voted against a crackdown on pedophiles and internet child porn as late as 2003.

He managed to convince the city of Burlington, to hire him as their mayor at the age of 39. In the state of Vermont yet, the ‘Freedom and Unity’ state. Doesn’t say much for mottos anymore.

He was more honest than you were. He never pretended to be anything else. He honeymooned in the Soviet Union, was smitten by Fidel Castro, and you still wanted him…or was it his supporters you wanted? To add insult to your injury, he is not even a Democrat. But, he says he is now. He is defining your party with every other Democrat candidate now trying to deny their socialist leanings except maybe Bloomberg whose comfort zone is to just pay cash for the office and get a receipt. I’m not that sure you disagree with the senator all that much, it’s just his candor you hate. A fine mess you’ve gotten into.

You Democrats have much to answer for, a chance to remedy past sins…slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation…de jour and de facto, KKK lynchings, voting rights for blacks and women, voter fraud, a lousy education system, unrestricted abortion, open borders, free speech restrictions, the erasing of your history, fake dossiers. You enticed the poor and blacks with free stuff, absolving black fathers of any responsibility. It was never about people, was it? It was about votes and power. You beguiled many and kept them right where you wanted them…dependent on you in exchange for votes.

You are now scrambling to get rid of him, not the fictional Democratic Socialist, but the Marxist Communist sicko that you know he is. You danced with him and now you want to call it a night. The hard left he leads is aroused, smelling victory, and you think you can just dismiss them out of hand. Think again. It just might be too late. Your priorities for too long have been misplaced and you are now reaping the whirlwind

You’re in a panic and it shows

You will try desperately to attempt the ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ routine. But, the Devil will not let you go so fast. He will blow the trumpet to his supporters, of which they are now legion, and they will hear the charge. I will bet that you will continue your out-of-step dance lest you lose a large segment of your tent. You will play all sides, hoping for the best, leaving a nation wondering what you stand for. The dance could easily take you over the cliff.

Yes, you did have a brief shining moment, but it was a long time ago, and it has since been another downhill slide. You have long squandered any trust you had as a viable political party in this country. You need a winner and you finally realize it is not him, nor any other candidate you have to offer. You’re in a panic and it shows.

You have a choice…keep on your present course and face oblivion, or stop the nonsense, show the nation your loyalty is first to your country, and everything it stands for and come back home to the country you say you love.

Ready or Not, Hillary Clinton, Newest Newsie Coming Down the Pike


Judi McLeod imageBy  —— Bio and Archives—February 28, 2020

Re-Posted from The Canada Free Press

Hillary Clinton, coming podcastsGet 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.

Democrats Starting to Split Over Bernie – Is the End of the USA Near?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics

Re-Posted Feb 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

One of the biggest donors behind the Democrats is Bernard Schwartz who is the CEO of BLS Investments. Schwartz has been trying to plead with Pelosi to support someone in hopes of stopping Bernie Sanders. The Democrats are in turmoil. This is what you get with the socialist agenda that boils down to publicly bribing people to vote for them for the free stuff they intend to rob with a pen from other people.

We really need a class action to be filed and taken to the Supreme Court against socialism. It is an affront to everything else the Constitution stands for. You cannot have Equal Protection of the Law if you are allowed to discriminate based on what someone earns. If it is illegal to discriminate against gender, race, or religion, then why is it suddenly OK to hate someone because they have more than you?

If the Ten Commandments prohibits socialism, then this not only violates the Equal Protection of the Law, but it violates the First Amendment and the foundation of Judaeo-Christian beliefs. When will lawyers stand up for the people and simply use GoFundMe to raise money, for surely they will not donate their time even to save their own ass.

I have written before that it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to impose discrimination in tax rates. The left will immediately scream that the rich deserve to be destroyed. To them, I say go to California and separate from the rest of the country. They hate the rich but will never look at the opposite side of the coin. Why is the lifestyle of the average person declining? It is not because someone else makes more than they do. It is because the politicians are lining their pockets and then the majority of people are too stupid to figure out who really is to blame. It is like someone robs your house. You come home and they get arrested. It is not their fault, but yours because you should not have come home.

If we do not outlaw this dangerous dialog, we will see the destruction of the United States, as was the case with Russia. There will be blood in the streets, and the future of our children utterly destroyed!

Bernie Sanders Receives Glowing Praise From Cuban Communist Government – Florida Poll Shows Immediate Collapse…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on February 27, 2020 by 

Well, it might not exactly be the best endorsement for the American political aspirations of Bernie Sanders but the official communist propaganda outlet in Cuba, Granma, is heaping high praise upon Bernie “Fidel” Sanders for his support for the communist regime.

Miami Herald – Granma, the Communist Party newspaper, prominently displayed a report about Sanders and his praise of “some of the social programs implemented by the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro.”

“U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, today one of the strongest candidates for the nomination of the Democratic Party to the November presidential elections, recognized Cuba’s role in sending doctors worldwide,” Granma said. (more)

[You can read the communist praise here] Meanwhile, in directly related news, Bernie Sanders has plummeted to third place in the latest poll of Florida Democrats.  Early voting is underway and election day is March 17th.

The Florida poll shows Biden surging ahead with 35% as support for Bloomberg and Sanders has collapsed in the past ten days.

After Bloomberg displayed his unlikable disposition he immediately dropped to 25%.  And the latest Bernie Sanders display of support for communist Fidel Castro has collapsed the Vermont senator to 13%.

Early voting is underway in Florida and about a third of voters have now cast their ballot.  That means Biden is very likely to win Florida far ahead of Bloomberg and a very distant Bernie will slide even further down in the final results.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is back on top in Florida.

That’s according to the latest survey from St. Pete Polls, which shows Biden with 34% support among likely Democratic primary voters. Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg slipped to second place with 25% support.

That’s a change from the previous two versions of the St. Pete Polls survey, which showed Bloomberg had taken the lead. A mid-February version had Bloomberg eclipsing Biden in the Sunshine State for the first time. (link)

Monmouth South Carolina Poll: Biden 36%, Sanders 16%, Steyer 15%, Warren 8%…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on February 27, 2020 by 

Mini-mike Bloomberg is viable for the Club if they can run him as a candidate that no-one has to actually see, hear, or get to know…. However, after two debates with Bloomberg included, his support is dropping like a rock.

…”His national debate debut in Las Vegas last week laid bare his vulnerabilities around race and gender and gave many voters their first glimpse of his irritability. The performance short-circuited his rise in polling, and he has since made no headway against frontrunner Bernie Sanders in delegate-rich California, a state he was counting on. In addition, there are signs of a revival for Joe Biden in South Carolina this weekend — an outcome that would upset Bloomberg’s plan to seize on his demise as moderates search for a replacement to him.” (link)

Bloomberg is not on the ballot Saturday in South Carolina, and the latest Monmouth Pollshows people jumping back to support Joe Biden.  [Data Link]

Monmouth’s Patrick Murray is a well known Big Club pollster.  According to his construct the Club’s blitzkrieg on Fidel Sanders paid off. However, once people got to see the Clubs’ alternative, Bloomberg, the voter aversion to mini-mike ended up with a retreat to support Biden; at least in South Carolina.

Going into Super Tuesday Bernie’s coalition might be slightly smaller than before the Club started the sunlight upon his radical assembly; but the support level is enough to keep him as frontrunner.  Bernie is the candidate for the Occupy Wall Street, Antifa, Socialists and Revolutionary Communist groups within the Democrat party.  While the ‘never-bernie’ voting block is even more fractured over five candidates.

Bloomberg, Biden, Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar and to a lesser extent Steyer, are all splitting the ‘never-bernie’ bloc.   The Club’s hope for Bloomberg has diminished as more democrat voters see him in action and his support drops.  Conversely, as Bloomberg support drops Biden support increases, but not enough to surpass Bernie.

South Carolina may be a boost for Biden heading into Super Tuesday; a worse case scenario for those who built the Bloomberg roadmap.

It is still too soon to say a brokered convention is most likely; and it will be after Super Tuesday when that possibility can be best considered; however, it does look like the odds of a brokered convention are increasing.

Berning Man!


WAS CASTRO A “BERNIE BRO” ?

Bernie Sanders has momentum on his side. His promise of free stuff is just too tempting for many who have not learned the lessons of history.

Bernie calls it socialism, but rest assured he is still well rooted in Marxism. Whatever nomenclature the old hippie prefers, socialism is asking for trouble. It always ends in failure, poverty, tyranny, and suffering. It’s a lesson of history his supporters seem to have forgotten or never bothered to learn.

Some Trump supporters want Bernie to win the nomination because they know that he and his socialist platform will be easily defeated. Many in the Democratic establishment abhor the thought of Bernie as their nominee because they also know he can’t win. They’ve already concocted a variation in their Russia conspiracy theory. They say Putin is now pulling strings to get Sanders is nominated, thus assuring the reelection of his puppet, Trump. The Swamp just won’t give up on the ‘Russia Russia Russia!’ conspiracy claptrap no matter how many times it has thoroughly been debunked.

I don’t want Bernie nominated. Such an event will only make future socialists seem more acceptable. The ongoing drift toward socialism is just too darned dangerous. We need smaller and less obtrusive government, not socialists bureaucrats micro managing every aspect of our lives. Can’t have anyone hurting B Control freaks such as Bernie want to steal our labor via taxes and then redistribute it as he and his functionaries see fit. You can bet he will still have his three houses, though—and perhaps more. Yes, he’ll want to live in a luxurious dacha while sending those who resist into gulags.

Free speech would end in order to achieve Bernie’s ’social justice.’ During the debate in South Carolina, Bernie was actually booed and he didn’t like it! If he had his way, booing socialism would be against the law. He would make sure hate speech laws got enacted and enforced. Guns would be confiscated. Can’t have citizens fighting back when private property is outlawed.

Bernie offers us a terrible conflagration that will be fueled by the loss of our freedom. Millions of people died due to communist tyranny in the 20th Century. The cold ashes of history should not be forgotten.

Speaker Pelosi Says She Would be Comfortable With Fidel Sanders at Top of 2020 Ticket…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on February 26, 2020 by 

It’s a great time to be watching Democrat politics and the unending efforts of the national media to protect them from themselves.

The leading candidate for the Democrat party is an avowed socialist, Fidel Sanders.

Meanwhile, the strongest fall-back candidate for the party that rails against the rich; the only candidate likely to save them from Fidel; is a former republican billionaire, mini-mike Bloomberg.  The former New York City mayor Bloomberg made himself famous by railing against guns, soda, Slurpees, salt, and hot-dogs at baseball games.  You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried.

WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday said she would be comfortable with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as the Democratic presidential nominee in November.

The congresswoman was asked the question as she was leaving a closed-door meeting in the House basement Wednesday morning.  She replied with one word: “Yes.” (link)
