The Worst Time for Congressional Partisanship
"The Senate Democrats just engaged in one of the most cynical displays of partisanship I have ever seen in the U.S. Senate," said Riedl. "They let Pelosi blow up a bipartisan agreement."
Republican and Democratic Senate leaders were close to an agreement when Pelosi parked her partisan broomstick and poured poison into the congressional punchbowl.
" 'Talking to some Senate GOP sources," Townhall political editor Guy Benson tweeted. "They seem stunned and angry. I'm told there was lots of bipartisan input into the legislative outline & emerging specifics -- including an agreement in principle on broad strokes. Then Pelosi showed up and threw a partisan grenade." Sources said the Democratic leadership moved to exploit the crisis by attaching its socialist wish list to the bill.
"Manhattan Institute senior fellow Brian Riedl, a conservative known more for his scholarship than partisanship, had strong words. "The Senate Democrats just engaged in one of the most cynical displays of partisanship I have ever seen in the U.S. Senate," said Riedl. "They let Pelosi blow up a bipartisan agreement." . . .
Other Democratic add-ons included aid for Planned Parenthood, millions for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and an increase in the minimum wage to $15 per hour for all businesses receiving stimulus funds.
Eyes wide shut about Feeler Joe and the Predator Party
Richard Jack Rail "In this era when it seems every male Democrat is a sexual predator, a woman named Tara Reade tells about the time in 1993 when Joe Biden, alone with her in his office, pushed her against the wall, shoved his hand into her skirt, and his finger into her. She objected, and he said something like, “Come on, man, I thought you liked me.”"Being a good Democrat, the estimable Ms. Reade kept her mouth shut these 27 years. But as others began telling similar stories about Biden misbehavior, she finally said something.
"This should never have happened, but it's hard to sympathize with Tara Reade. She had her eyes wide shut. Joe Biden's been a liar, exaggerator, big talker, and BSer forever. He's been famous for 40 years for putting his hands all over women and little girls. This woman chose not to see, and after Feeler Joe did what he did, chose not to talk about it. Given the propensity of Democrats to savage women who come forward with such experiences, one can understand that; but the rest of the story doesn’t dispose one to feel badly for poor Ms. Tara.
"She’s a Sanders gal today, almost certainly voted for Bill Clinton even after the Monica revelations, and stood by HRC even after the revelations of Hillary slut-shaming a woman in court and then laughing about it, and saying of other women that they should get over it.
"Frankly, her continued support for any Democrat is a shocker. That she didn’t run from the party after the Biden experience and then the Clinton thing tells us some unflattering truths about the lady. She says she decided to go public now in support of other women who had similar experiences with Biden, but her actions say something else. By sticking with the Predator Party, she in effect says that Democrat men can do as they please to other women, just not to her. But feel sorry for her anyway.
"Tara Reade’s tears and feelings of betrayal are entirely believable, but her woes are self-inflicted."
President Trump: polarizing, abrasive, bombastic, and loved by many

The left publishes anti-Trump screeds against this President and they say he's "polarizing"?
When we hear the term "fake news". this is what such forms of "journalism" are like:
'Morning Joe' repeatedly plays anti-Trump ad with claim rated false by fact-checkers
MSNBC anchor surprised by Trump's high approval ratings: People see him as a leader 'no matter what he says' "MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell seemed surprised on Wednesday that Americans are viewing President Trump as a leader given the way he has handled the coronavirus pandemic." . . .
MSNBC Host Reveals Her Biggest Fear About the Wuhan Coronavirus Pandemic
. . . "But even with all of this, the response from the Trump White House has been favorable, with 60 percent of Independents and over a quarter of Democrats giving this administration props for their guidelines in fighting the disease and containing the spread. And yes, this was MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell’s biggest fear—not the butcher’s bill from the Wuhan virus; the spike in Trump’s approval ratings. Newsbusters has more:" . . .
Lifelong Democrat Has Change of Heart After Pelosi’s Handling of the Stimulus Bill
After Lifelong Dem Attends NH Trump Rally She Declares “Democrats Have an A**-Kicking Coming in November” . . . "I want to introduce you to a really brave and amazing lady.
"Her name is Dr. Karlyn Borysenko and she’s a young New Hampshire psychologist who, up until a few nights ago, was a rabid member of the anti-Trump #Resistance:
Let's hope she can stand up under what the left has coming for her.
Analyzing America "Dr. Karlyn Borysenko said, “I have never voted for someone who was not a democrat in my life.”
"She continued, “That streak will end in November.”
"“The Senate Republicans’ bill put corporations first, not workers & families,” she said in a tweet Monday.
" “Today, @HouseDemocrats will unveil a bill that takes responsibility for the health, wages & well-being of America’s workers: the Take Responsibility for Workers & Families Act.”
"She continued, “I’m beyond angry about what they are doing. This is not about the well-being of workers. This is taking advantage of a crisis. It’s unconscionable. I can’t wait for them to lose.”
“I think the Democrats have an a—kicking coming to them in November, and I think most of them will be utterly shocked when it happens, because they’re existing in an echo chamber that is not reflective of the broader reality,” wrote Borysenko.
"“I hope it’s a wake-up call that causes them to take a long look in the mirror and really ask themselves how they got here. Maybe then they’ll start listening. I tend to doubt it, but I can hope.' ” . . .
"Her name is Dr. Karlyn Borysenko and she’s a young New Hampshire psychologist who, up until a few nights ago, was a rabid member of the anti-Trump #Resistance:
You see, I was one of those Democrats who considered anyone who voted for Trump a racist. I thought they were horrible (yes, even deplorable) and worked very hard to eliminate their voices from my spaces by unfriending or blocking people who spoke about their support of him, however minor their comments. I watched a lot of MSNBC, was convinced that everything he had done was horrible, that he hated anyone who wasn’t a straight white man, and that he had no redeeming qualities."But after attending a New Hampshire Trump rally, she has a whole new outlook." . . .

Trump’s Coronavirus Response Is Foiling His Enemies
Conrad Black
The president is already unlimbering the economic guns and starting to spike the dreams of those who hope that the economic consequences of the anti-coronavirus measures will lose the administration its reelection.
"The political aspect of the coronavirus crisis is developing in a familiar way. The president’s enemies in the media have led the propagation of panic in the country, and have been given enough encouragement to do that from the scientific community, some of whose members are enjoying their 15 minutes of world fame a little more than is seemly.
"Trump’s opponents are thus able to swaddle themselves in the legitimacy of science as they hurl their brickbats at the president. As is his custom, the president has given his opponents plenty of ammunition by speaking constantly, leaving a rich trove of contradictory, and in some cases, it turns out after a few days, absurd reflections on the medical and related problems as they unfold.
"As is also the well-established custom, his enemies cannot resist embellishing and fabricating. The claim he had disbanded the pandemic response section of the National Security Council is false, as are suggestions that he has ignored or overruled scientific opinion.
"The assault on the president’s credibility as an enunciator of facts has had some success, partly because there is some reason to question his attention to facts and partly because he is routinely smeared by his media enemies.
"Meantime, the dishonesty of the media is reaffirmed almost daily. The president has made an effort to avoid partisanship and has worked well with Democratic governors, even those with whom he enjoys a relationship of intense reciprocal dislike, including Andrew Cuomo of New York, Gavin Newsom of California, and Jay Inslee of Washington. He has also made a reasonable effort to conduct daily press briefings with civility; those efforts are not always requited, and some of the journalists routinely withhold the respect due the office." . . .

Trump’s Strategic Foresight Is Being Put to the Test
Victor Davis Hanson
"The ancient Greeks believed that true leadership in a crisis came down to what they called pronoia — the Greek word for “strategic foresight.”
. . .
“Foresight” in crisis means sizing up a nation’s assets and debits, then maximizing advantages and minimizing liabilities. The leader with foresight, especially in times of irrational despair, then charts a rational pathway to victory.

"During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln knew the overwhelming advantages of the Union could eventually defeat the South, but only if he could hold the nation together through disasters such as the battles of Bull Run and Chancellorsville, and only once he found brilliant generals such as Sherman and Ulysses S. Grant.
. . .
"Such foresight can also remind the nation never again to outsource key industries to China, and not to listen to those who always predict catastrophe in bleak times, only to later take credit for others’ victories." . . .

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Warns She May Singlehandedly Delay Coronavirus Relief, Force In-Person Vote
Any member who decides not to participate in that voice vote could — as Ocasio-Cortez seems to be planning — force the dreaded, in-person roll call vote.
Daily Wire "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took to Twitter Wednesday to chastize the Senate for a proposed plan to recess immediately after voting to pass a massive, $2 trillion coronavirus relief package, but privately, CNN reports, the Democratic socialist threatened to hold up coronavirus relief herself by forcing her House colleagues to return to Washington, D.C., to vote on the measure in person.“ 'The Senate might ADJOURN FOR A MONTH after this bill?” Ocasio-Cortez whined on social media, after discovering, from CNN, that the Senate plans to adjourn after passing coronavirus relief Wednesday. “This is completely dangerous and unacceptable. We HAVE to be able to respond to people’s needs. People don’t have this time. Even IF the Senate can even return on the 20th (big IF) that may not be enough time to solve May.” . . .
AOC's handlers are giving this girl a lot to do.
The Atlantic raises eyebrows after urging Biden to simply 'stay alive' to defeat Trump
Fox News "A piece published in The Atlantic made the argument this week that the "idea" of former Vice President Joe Biden is enough to defeat President Trump in November and that in order to do so, Biden would simply have to "stay alive."
" 'Democrats need little from the front-runner beyond his corporeal presence," Atlantic contributing writer Alex Wagner wrote on Tuesday in a piece titled "Stay Alive, Joe Biden."
"Wagner suggested that Democratic voters are so eager to oust Trump that Biden's ongoing campaign has less weight than his decades-old familiarity.
" 'Voters seem to have coalesced around Biden for his past -- who they have known him to be for the past four decades in American politics -- rather than for anything in his present. It’s as if Biden exists primarily as an idea, rather than an actual candidate," Wagner wrote. "Democrats have chosen Biden as their vessel for Trump’s defeat, and that choice is the entire point: The vanquishing matters more than anything else."
"She went on to make the case that the coronavirus effect on the 2020 election shouldn't weaken Biden's campaign as long as his team keeps the former vice president "alive in the American imagination.' "
Costco Just Told Hoarders What They Can Do With All Their Excess Toilet Paper
Well, that was their plan all along.

. . . "Mocking toilet paper hoarders was encouraged by the likes of Twitter user Jeannie Warner, who said, "Let us all keep up the mockery and ridicule of toilet paper hoarders."
"Behold those amazing toilet paper wigs worn by "post coronavirus males displaying their hunter-gatherer prowess in order to attract mates."
"It actually got a little creepy. "Propagandopolis" noted that it reminded him of the scolds who went after hoarders during WWII using posters like this that said, "Hoarder — shame on you!"
"People publicly mocked others. This person, "Methy Anne," noted that not only the back of this pick up was loaded with toilet paper but it was also driven by a Trump supporter. Someone with the name "Methy" probably should stay in her lane. Just a thought." . . .
Senate Passes Coronavirus Bill, Proving Pelosi Gambled With Americans' Lives and Lost*
"We can only hope that when November comes around and this is all a distant memory, people can summon up the sense of revulsion they must feel now against the morally bankrupt, opportunistic Democrats and vote accordingly." Andrea Widburg, below

After first lying about her corrupt bill, Pelosi has finally agreed to abandon it
. . . "If the coronavirus had hit America with a Democrat in the White House and a Democrat majority in Congress, by Monday's end, a new law would have
- raised the federal minimum wage to $15,
- subsidized student loan debt,
- provided more funds for PBS,
- funded the IRS and the Postal Service,
- mandated race and gender diversity for corporate boards,
- implemented same-day voter registration, and
- required airplanes to be carbon neutral in five years,
*Senate Passes Coronavirus Bill, Proving Pelosi Gambled With Americans' Lives and Lost . . . " 'Don’t treat this bill like a partisan Christmas list," Cruz added. He noted that he'd love to abolish the IRS, but he isn't submitting amendments to every spending bill to get his pet project in there." . . .
. . . "Americans should not soon forget that while Republicans rushed to act, Schumer and Pelosi blocked the bill, wasted precious time, and tried to ram their Christmas wish-list items down the throats of Americans in the middle of a crisis."
CNN still loves you, Democrats.

We know Biden has roaming hands, but how far have they roamed?
Andrea Widburg "Before you even begin to read this post, remember what Hillary Clinton, the voice of the left in 2015, said about sexual assault allegations: “Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.” With that fixed in your mind, it’s time to talk about Joe Biden.
"The #MeToo movement in America reached its crescendo in 2017. The diminuendo phase happened soon after, when it seemed as if every Democrat man in America, especially in Hollywood and the media, had been playing fast and loose with women, even while pandering to feminists.
"Up until spring 2019, when he began his presidential run, Joe Biden seemed immune. That was when, Lucy Flores, a Bernie Sanders supporter, claimed that, in 2014, when he was still Vice President, Joe Biden touched her inappropriately and kissed her head at a campaign rally. In other words, she claimed that he did to her what he did to the women and girls in this video: . . .

We'll see if this turns out to be true or if Joe is getting the Kavanaugh treatment.
