Open letter to Democrats

ACT! FOR CANADA (Quoting:) I just have a few questions for you...Let me start with, I already know you don't like President Trump...that's a given, SO...let's move on from that...
How about the division of America.
Do you really blame Trump for that?
How about when NONE of the DEMOCRATS showed up for his inauguration? Don't you think that started the division? He hadn't even been president yet, and EXCEPT for Clinton and Obama, not one democrat showed up...Is that when Trump divided America? Can you imagine if the REPUBLICANS didn't show up for Obama's inauguration because they lost??? Can you even start to imagine what would have happened?
How about when 19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post declared the IMPEACHMENT CAMPAIGN has STARTED? Was that when Trump divided America?
How about when Nancy Pelosi ripped up Trump's state of the union right in front of the world, showing complete disrespect for the president of the United States? Did that bring the country together and is THAT when Trump divided America?
How about when America had to endure, 3 years and over 30 million dollars spent on trying to PROVE that Trump only won because of RUSSIAN COLLUSION and NOT because America voted him in and 17 democrats did EVERYTHING in their power to PROVE that there was Russian Collusion...and came up with ZERO...?
Was THAT when Trump divided America?
I can't even start to go over the NEGATIVE PRESS he's received since his surprise win...
Remember, the DONORS, the likes Bloomberg, who gave 27 million, Tom Steyer who gave 17 million, George Soros who gave 9 million and MANY MORE that gave MULTI-MILLIONS to Hillary, wanted a return on their investment...
Do you really think that donors give MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS just because they love Hillary?
NO, these weren't campaign donations, they were INVESTMENTS into what HILLARY had promised them when she became president....
They were so sure she would win and they would be SHOWERED with HUGE RETURNS, and when it didn't happen and they LOST all those millions, they went all out to TAKE TRUMP out of OFFICE by any means possible...
DID YOU KNOW that 90% of the Mainstream media and the corporations that own them are owned by or run by BIG DEMOCRAT DONORS? You can verify all of that for yourselves...I did...
Since the moment Trump won, even before he was inaugurated, the mainstream media's reporting was 92% negative on Trump, do you know why?
It was those big donors that lost their dream of MILLIONS of dollars, on their returns that they were going to receive win Hillary was president and they weren't going to take that loss lightly...They needed to PUNISH TRUMP and those that VOTED HIM IN...
I've said this since the night he was elected...
"There is NOTHING the left won't do to take down our President”, our country and us, no low they won't go to, to get their power back", and sadly, we have seen this every single day since his election.
Let me ask you this...Have you ever listened to Trump or appreciated any accomplishment or campaign promises he's kept, have you ever gone to one of his rallies or have you just closed your mind to ANYTHING he does?
Please ask yourselves the following questions, if you dare...
What has Joe Biden done for America for the last 47 years that he's held an office?
What did Joe Biden ever do for BLACKS when HE and Obama were in office?
What has Joe Biden ever done in his entire life to create a private-sector job?
What has Joe Biden done to help the American middle class worker?
Let me also ask you this...Why do you think there are so many people tearing down statues, our burning flag, beating up police officers, disrespecting our founders and hating our country?
It comes straight from our SCHOOLS that have slowly been tearing down our history...
If there is a teacher out there, please tell me the following:
Do you teach the truth that it was the DEMOCRATS that:
Were the KKK?
That the GRAND LEADER of the KKK was Robert Byrd, who was elected to congress and served for decades, and that it was Hillary, Bill, and Obama that gave his EULOGY praising him?
That the DEMOCRATS fought the Civil war to KEEP SLAVERY?
That the inner-city ghettoes were created by DEMOCRATS to keep control of slaves after they were freed?
That planned parenthood was founded in inner cities to CONTROL the BLACK POPULATION?
Is any of this in your history books? Let me ask you this as well.
Can a student speak up when he/she disagrees with a teacher when they say that Trump is a horrible president or the electoral college has to be eliminated? Don't think so?
Well, I know a student that actually happened to...When the teacher said it had to be eliminated because Hillary lost, and he stated the reason it should stay,
She ripped him apart and gave the entire class a 5-hour test, and stated it was because he DARED to disagree with her...
Is that happening in your schools?
I'm only asking questions....I'd like your answers..
President Trump and his entire family has been vilified, demeaned, and disrespected, for one reason and one reason only.......HE WON...
Have you noticed the DEMOCRATS only throw tantrums and OBJECT to everything he does and have NEVER ONCE gotten behind him to make America the best it can be?
WHY? They can't afford to get behind him...he would WIN AGAIN, and they can't let that happen....if he wins again, the Democrat party will be destroyed and they know it...
Did you notice that the "CAGES" the left claimed that Trump built to put Illegal children in, WERE BUILT BY OBAMA for the very purpose of PUTTING ILLEGAL CHILDREN IN?
Was THAT all over the news when Obama did it? The very same "CAGES"...but the media was silent!!
How about when Trump commuted Roger Stone's sentence and was DEMONIZED 24/7 but NOT A WORD when Obama commuted 1715 inmates, which included 330 that he granted on his last day in office...
DID WE EVEN HEAR one WORD about it? Were there reporters even reporting it...NO! Just look at the difference in the reporting. By the way, since Trump's been in office he's commuted 10 people...compare that to Obama...Is that reporting fair?
How about when Biden and Obama allowed the H1N1, the SWINE FLU, to INFECT MILLIONS of Americans before declaring it a health emergency....
Was the press losing its minds and calling it the OBAMAFLU AND BLAMING OBAMA and BIDEN for the spread? SILENCE!
Compare this to the NEGATIVE COVERAGE that Trump got when he immediately halted travel from China when, in February, Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown and said come on down, or when DeBlasio, in March, said ride the subways and go to broadway...BUT those same people are blaming Trump for the spread of coronavirus..
A FINAL QUESTION:
What have the DEMOCRATS done to help make America the best, to get behind a president that works tirelessly to care about WE THE PEOPLE instead of using us as political pawns..
What have the democrats done for people of color EXCEPT for GIVING ILLEGALS more rights than citizens and having us pay for it...
JUST imagine what this country could accomplish if the Democrats worked with him on the economy, the coronavirus, the inner cities where he's created opportunity zones, job training etc.
When Trump tried to get school choice for inner-city students they ran Betsy Devoss out!! The Dems running those innercity schools wanted no part of school choice.
Have you ever wondered why it's cities that have been run, for decades, that have the MOST HOMELESS, the MOST CRIME, the most MURDERS, the worst INNER CITY schools, ARE ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS???
If you haven't started asking yourselves those questions, maybe you should..
As I said, my entire family used to be democrats, but NOT ONE will ever vote for a democrat again...They asked themselves the same questions and the answer was clear...

Products of leftist media, schools and George Soros: pliant sheep

Leftist/Violence Nexus
In an article by Ronn Blitzer “DAs backed by Soros, other liberal activists join fray…” (30 July 2020), there now exits a patent nexus and insidious comorbidity between the left and anarchy comforted, financed, and abetted by George Soros.  The history is well known.  Questioning the efficacy of the Electoral College, baseless accusations of the President’s mental competence, and the Russia collusion hoax figure most prominently.  Their obsession to have President Trump impeached by any means necessary is the chief reason for their insurgency.

About those 'peaceful protests'...
. . . Credibility is paramount.  Propagandists know that every story must have at least a kernel of truth.  Progressives appear to be ignoring this axiom.  When MSNBC's Ali Velshi claims, "I want to be clear on how I characterize this.  This is a mostly a protest.  It is not generally speaking unruly," with fires raging behind him, he has no credibility.  Ellen Rosenblum the Oregon Attorney General claims the riots in Portland were “perfectly peaceful. ”When Representative Jerry Nadler claims rioting in Portland is a myth he has destroyed his credibility.  Snopes has done its best to discredit a report that is unfavorable for the "peaceful protesters." . . .

Brit Hume Muses About What a ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Protester Looks Like to the Media and It’s Perfect  . . . "Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume, a veteran journalist, has also had enough of the “peaceful protests” spin from the media and took to the Twitter machine recently to give his thoughts on how reporters determine a rioter is a “mostly peaceful” protester.
"The example he used was this video from independent journalist Andy Ngo of a rioter who jumped over a barrier to launch an incendiary device at the courthouse in Portland, which my RedState colleague Nick Arama reported on yesterday:
Hume saw the video, and noted how the mainstream media would still end up characterizing this violent rioter as a “mostly peaceful” protester in spite of his anarchistic actions:. . . "

The left is laying the groundwork to challenge Trump’s election

Krugman is monomaniacal, but he’s not stupid. He’s probably aware that each of his tweets is ridiculous. That doesn’t matter. All that matters is that, in concert with Hillary and others in the Democrat echo chamber, he is working to build the foundation of a narrative holding that any Trump victory is illegitimate.

Andrea Widburg  "The polls currently show Biden in the lead, but there are reasons to suspect their accuracy. For example, in 2016, at the same time during the election cycle the polls also showed Hillary in the lead. Another problem is that many of the polls are national, which is irrelevant. We don’t have a national vote; we have fifty state votes, plus D.C. Whether Biden wins by one vote or three million votes in California, he still gets the same number of electoral college votes.


"But the single most significant indicator that the polls are untrustworthy is the fact that the Democrats are starting to lay the groundwork for rejecting Trump’s possible (or probable?) victory. If you thought the last three and a half years of “resistance” were terrible, as Al Jolson would say, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
"The most prominent person to start getting ducks in a row for an attack against Trump’s victory is Hillary Clinton. Hillary, who has spent the last three-and-a-half years being the mother of all sore losers, has announced that she thinks Trump, when he inevitably loses, will refuse to leave the White House: . . .
. . . "Like a dog responding to his master’s whistle, Paul Krugman, who once was a respected economist before he became a rabid Democrat partisan, went on an extended and feverish Twitter rant about Trump’s inevitable coming loss. The corollary for Krugman is that the only way Trump can win is “to steal the election.” It’s worth examining each tweet in his manic thread. First, there’s the premise:" . . .

. . . "Likewise, in Red states, the Democrats’ graveyard vote will turn out in big numbers. Conservatives cannot afford to be complacent but must, instead, have an overwhelming turnout.

"You need to vote as if your life depends on it -- because it probably does."

When will the Democrats pull the plug on ‘Plugs’ Biden?

There are contributing factors, his flacking for China as his son reaped ten-figure backing from the Communists, and his sexual harassment issues most prominently (for now). But the wiser and wilier among the DNC’s power elite know that they will not be able to hide Biden’s mental infirmity all the way to November third.  So, they are considering how and when best to be rid of Joe.
Thomas Lifson  "If we presume that Joe Biden’s pace of mental decline doe not reverse direction, the Democrats will be stuck with an embarrassment leading them into disaster in November.  Unless there is vote fraud on a massive scale, Americans will not hand the fate of the Republic to Grandpa Simpson, also known as “Plugs” Biden after undergoing expensive hair transplant surgery in 2008 to avoid going bald." . . .
. . . "Should this path be followed, Sanders supporters are on the record that they will burn down Milwaukee if the Bolshevik is not fairly treated. But the entire reason Biden garnered the support he did was that he was supposedly “safe” compared to an open socialist. They fear a Sanders-led ticket would bring total disaster." . . . 
. . . Such a switch could be made any time between the convention nomination and Election Day. Because we technically vote for Electoral College members rather than presidential candidates, it may be, as Vox proposes, that Electors could simply transfer their vote from the old Democratic nominee to the new one regardless of what was printed on the ballot. But the legal situation is uncertain and varies from state to state. "For instance," notes FiveThirtyEight, "Michigan's law requires an Elector to vote for the ticket named on the ballot whereas Florida's rules say that an Elector is to 'vote for the candidates of the party that he or she was nominated to represent.'" That means a sooner swap, allowing more states to print the new name on the ballot, would be better. Yet court battles would be inevitable with the ever-litigious Trump involved.
"At this point, outsiders have no way of knowing the real extent of Biden’s infirmity, nor do we know the true views of the party insiders and their funders about his prospects for avoiding embarrassment and defeat. But if I were a betting man, I’d wager that someone else will be on top of the ticket November third."
Botox, hair plugs, and veneers: Biden could escape the cosmetic surgery scrutiny Hillary Clinton endured
"Cosmetic doctors are certain that former Vice President Joe Biden’s full head of hair, smooth forehead, and Cheshire Cat grin are the result of plastic surgery and other procedures."
. . . "Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel, chief of the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Boston University Medical Center, said in 2013 that John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic nominee, had been "a little over-injected" with Botox and "looks Frankenstein-ian."
"The key to effective cosmetic surgery is subtlety, Alster said. “If they look like they’ve had cosmetic work, it works against them.' ". . . Joe's teeth had their own web site:  Joebidensteeth.com

Are these signs of mental infirmity in Biden back in 2012?

Daily Beast  "So just how many times did Joe Biden deploy his withering/excessive smile of contempt in Thursday night's debate? We've counted them up -- non-teeth-baring smirks excluded -- and present them here."

Is this the best a free press has to offer?

Liberals Backwards Think
He has a reputation for making it all about himself   "Jim Acosta is a household name. Some of his critics believe that's by design. "As is his habit, Acosta doesn't ask questions — he makes accusations and argues," the New York Post said of the CNN journalist. Writing about Acosta's confrontation with Sarah Sanders over Trump's "enemy of the people" claim, The Atlantic said the journalist "reinforced the corrosive, cynical, and deeply dangerous feedback loop that has convinced Trump's most fervent supporters that his relentless brief against the press has merit." Even his fellow reporters at the press conference appeared to understand this. "Those watching the exchange on television would have noticed the faces of Mr. Acosta's fellow correspondents," The New York Times reported, "some watching with curiosity and others averting their gaze."
"Infamous for his out of control shouting and "grandstanding" during televised press briefings and other White House events, Acosta even had to address and defend this fact on CNN with an appearance on Reliable Sources. "If they want to send me to hell, I'll still be shouting at the devil," he said."   . . .

Back in March, 2020:


From the same link as above: Sometimes Acosta is useful; he even took on Obama and Castro   . . . "A lot of Americans have this frustration that they see the United States has the greatest military in the world; it has the backing of nearly every other country in the world when it comes to taking on ISIS. I guess the question is, and if you'll forgive the language, but why can't we take out these bastards?" he asked. Obama, clearly frustrated, replied, "Well Jim, I just spent the last three questions answering that very question, so I don't know what more you want me to add."

"During a joint press conference between Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro in 2016, Acosta (whose father fled Cuba) pressed Castro on his country's practice of taking political prisoners. Per Politico, Acosta addressed the leader in Spanish. Castro reportedly smirked "at Acosta's pronunciation" and acted as though the question wasn't meant for him. That reportedly prompted Obama to look at Castro in "disbelief" and say, "Excuse me ... second one was to you."  . . . Nicki Swift

Look what your publicized personality disorders can do for you!

And a big ego; here is the Jim Acosta of sports:


Even the snarky Babylon Bee saw opportunity in MSNBCNN:  

CNN Report: Millions Of American Voters May Have Colluded To Elect Trump  U.S.—A new, exclusive CNN investigative report revealed Thursday that millions of American voters may have potentially colluded with the Trump campaign to elect Donald Trump as President of the United States.
"While Russia has been accused of interfering in the election, the breaking report indicates that the collusion may have extended to a significant portion of the U.S. population—“as many as 60 million citizens, and possibly even more.”
"“The conspiracy goes much deeper than anyone expected,” Jake Tapper said on his news segment The Politics Lead. “We’re talking tens of millions of people involved in this secret plot to make sure Hillary didn’t make it into the White House and to prop up Donald Trump as the winner.”
"The CNN report does not accuse anyone of hacking or rigging the vote, but rather suggests that those colluding with the real estate mogul in the far-reaching scheme may have simply walked into voting booths and cast their vote for Donald Trump, giving him the electoral college victory."

This May Shock You: The Electoral College Is Essential For Our Politics

Forbes   "Critics of the much-maligned Electoral College overlook one of its fundamental virtues: tamping down dangerously divisive politics. Advocates of replacing this “18th-century anachronism” with a straight popular vote implicitly assume the current two-party system would remain intact and that the candidate with the most individual votes—instead of electoral votes—would win the White House. That’s the way things work for every other elected office in the U.S.; why wouldn’t it be so for the most important one of all? 
"But the basic two-party arrangement we take for granted exists only because of the Electoral College. To win the presidency, a candidate has to appeal to people across the country. A nationwide coalition is essential to gaining a majority in the Electoral College. A narrow sectional or special-interest base simply won’t cut it. That’s why our parties are collections of many diverse interests and backgrounds, reflecting the character of this continental nation whose citizens, or forebears, have come from all corners of the world and reflect a wide array of cultures and beliefs. It’s why supporters of the Democratic and Republican parties are so often uneasy with one another. GOP voters in the Northeast, for instance, who tend to emphasize economic issues such as low taxes, are put off by social conservatives. 
"The system puts a premium on moderation. Yes, candidates can advocate bold programs, but they have to do so in ways that don’t alienate more tepid members of their party, not to mention independent voters. A radical idea usually goes through what might be called a marinating process, during which time people become accustomed to the notion, and even then it has often become a watered-down version of the original." . . . More...

Or...go with the "popular vote", letting the East and West Coast dwellers make the choice for us.

Der Schumerglower has issued a call for violence against Supreme Court Justices.

(Glower: to look or stare with sullen annoyance or anger; a sullen brooding look of annoyance or anger)

UPDATE:  Chuck Schumer Walks Back Warning To Kavanaugh, Gorsuch Immediately After Facing Criticism From Mitch McConnell  After which he turns it all around to be an attack on Republicans.
Democrats with their bent toward violence against conservatives only needed this permission to act. How much does the Kavanaugh family have to endure? TD

The Supreme Court has become a target   . . . "Schumer's spokesdrone was referring to the fact that, in February, Trump accused Sotomayor and Ginsburg of making statements showing they were biased against him, which Trump contended justified their recusing themselves. Requesting a recusal is a universe away from Schumer’s statement which, intentionally or not, sent a message to Antifa, the armed branched of the Democrat Party in this Second Civil War, to use violence to affect a political outcome. 
"The President was appropriately outraged and completely correct in both his diagnosis of Schumer’s appalling action and the price."
There can be few things worse in a civilized, law abiding nation, than a United States Senator openly, and for all to see and hear, threatening the Supreme Court or its Justices. This is what Chuck Schumer just did. He must pay a severe price for this!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 5, 2020
:
Sen. Chuck Schumer implicitly threatens violence against Supreme Court Justices
Wayne Dupree:  


. . . "The Supreme Court will soon hear June Medical Services v. Stephen Russo, regarding Louisiana legislation requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion clinic. Democrats are worried because the Court currently has four constitutional conservatives (Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh), four activists (Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Kagan, Breyer), and one squish (Roberts). Democrats are frantic lest the conservatives take the lead, resulting in the Supreme Court placing limitations on abortions.
"It was in this context that Schumer, while speaking at a Planned Parenthood rally outside of the Supreme Court, abandoned the accepted practice of criticizing the justices’ intelligence or impartiality and, instead, implied a call for violence against Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh:  " . . .

Chuck Schumer's abusive tantrum   . .  . "How's that for calling out the crazies and giving them permission to do the justices great bodily harm?  As if they have not suffered enough from the vicious schemes of the pro-abortion left.  Kavanaugh's family will likely never recover from what the Democrat harridans and goons on the Judiciary Committee did to them, and make no mistake: that was all about abortion." . . .

Mitch McConnell to slam Chuck Schumer on the floor of the Senate for 'threatening' Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch over abortion case and accuse Democratic minority leader of misleading by claiming he was telling Republicans they will 'reap the whirlwind'
. . . “ 'We talk about attacks on the official of the presidency,” he said. “On the electoral college, on the First Amendment, on the Senate itself. But most striking of all have been the shameless efforts to bully our nation’s independent judiciary, and yesterday those efforts took a dangerous and disturbing turn.”
"McConnell noted that this attack “was not some isolated incident.”
“ 'The left-wing campaign against the federal judiciary did not begin yesterday, not yesterday,” he said, reminding his colleagues that during the impeachment trial of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Warren and others attacked Chief Justice Roberts for “staying neutral instead of delivering the outcomes that they wanted.” . . .
Little did this family know what venom is to come their way at the hands of Democrats. Dem Rep. Ayanna Pressley among them


Rather than leaving well enough alone, a spokesman from Schumer’s office accused Justice Roberts of taking Schumer’s remarks out of context (though I’m not sure how they figure that, they were plain enough), and of “following the right wing” in the process.
Trump Calls For ‘Serious’ Action To Be Taken Against Schumer For ‘Threatening’ Justices  How dare the Republicans select justices for the Supreme Court? I do hope Republicans take over the House Judiciary once more.

"Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) announced Wednesday night he plans to file a censure motion against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for threats he made against Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh at a pro-choice rally in front of the Court as inside the justices heard arguments on a Louisiana abortion law case, June Medical Services LLC v. Russo." . . .  
I would call on Schumer to apologize, but we all know he has no shame. So tomorrow I will introduce a motion to censure Schumer for his pathetic attempt at intimidation of
Even Republican RINOs criticized Der Schumerglower:
"Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) condemned Schumer, saying, “I agree with Chief Justice Roberts. These statements by Senator Schumer are outrageous.”. . . 
"Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) criticized Schumer, “A reprehensible threat from Senator Schumer is followed by a laughably illogical prevarication. What ever happened to truth and a simple apology?”

The Democrat’s Hatred of President Trump and America Itself Is Appalling

Democrats used the killing of the terrorist general to attack this President and now the Coronavirus is a joy for them. 

 Sheriff David Clarke, Ret. "Over the last three years, these lunatics have tried to fake it, but their mask is off. We have watched them express outright hate for the Founding Fathers, the police, law and order, the rule of law, the Constitution, election results, and, most recently, the electoral college.  When I thought they had reached their wits ends, they put the pedal to the metal with their recent reaction to the killing of Iran’s top military General Qasem Soleimani.
"I never thought I would see the day when Americans would be so full of hate toward their own country that they would rally around the terror-supporting nation of Iran. Seriously. Iran is the same country that took over the U.S. Embassy holding 52 American citizens hostage for 444 days. Iran is where they cheered in the streets as nearly 3000 Americans died in the 9-11 attacks on American soil. Iran is where “death to America” is routinely shouted. It’s the place where advocating for wiping the state of Israel off the map is commonplace. Iran continually threatens its neighbors while developing nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. " . . .

Are the Dems rooting for the virus?
. . . "More likely, they’re just politically posturing. If Trump requests $2 billion to fight the virus, they say it should be $8 billion. If Trump had suggested $8 billion, I’m sure they would have said it should be $20 billion.
"Their demand for more money is not because they’ve talked to medical and other experts and done the math. They don’t even bother to say that they have."No, it’s because they want to be able to say down the road that the contagion grew into a deadly pandemic because Trump messed up."
"Democrats" includes the media, as we know:
“I think that is a huge mistake," Wallace said. "It’s not our role. Our role is to be observers, umpires, fact-checkers, investigators — it’s not to be advocates. It’s not to be opponents."
Wallace 'Horrified' Over Acosta's Behavior at India News Conference  "Fox News’s Chris Wallace said he was “horrified” over the way Jim Acosta responded to President Trump at a news conference in India on Tuesday, saying the CNN chief White House correspondent’s behavior “adds to the people questioning the credibility of the media.”
“ 'It’s not our job to get in fights with presidents. It’s not our job to one-up presidents. It’s our job to report on presidents,” Wallace said during a Columbia University event Tuesday night. 
“ 'But to the degree we have responded to his attacks on us with attacks or advocacy in kind, there’s a huge mistake, and I think adds to people questioning the credibility of the media," he added." . . .  The exchange between the President and CNN's reporter

Mike and Hillary: watch out, Mike

Bloomberg campaign downplays report he is considering Hillary Clinton as running mate  . . . "The Drudge Report, citing a source close to Bloomberg’s campaign, reported that Clinton was under consideration after internal polling found that a Bloomberg-Clinton ticket would be a “formidable force.”. . .
"The conservative news aggregator, which came to prominence in the 90s for first reporting the Monica Lewinsky scandal, reported that Bloomberg would consider changing his residence to a home he owns in Colorado or Florida, “since the electoral college makes it hard for a POTUS and VPOTUS from the same state.”
"But the Bloomberg campaign quickly tamped down that report but fell short of denying it outright.
""We are focused on the primary and the debate, not VP speculation," Bloomberg communication director Jason Schechter said in a statement." . . .

DICK MORRIS: To: Mike Bloomberg: Before you put Hillary on your ticket, better hire a taster  
"Former Clinton advisor Dick Morris fired a warning shot to Mike Bloomberg following Matt Drudge’s claim that Bloomberg was considering Hillary Clinton as a running mate.
“ 'Sources close to Bloomberg campaign tell DRUDGE REPORT that candidate is considering Hillary as running mate, after their polling found the Bloomberg-Clinton combination would be a formidable force…” Matt Drudge said.
"DICK MORRIS: To: Mike Bloomberg: Before you put Hillary on your ticket, better hire a taster. . . ."

Democrat SOTU

Don Surber


"I know the governor of Michigan gave the Democrat response to President Donald John Trump's uplifting, rousing, and patriotic State of the Union address. But she is just their Bobby Jindal glossing over where the party stands. The true state of the Democrat Party is as American as the Iranian flag.
"They gave Iran 150 times what they gave Ukraine, and did not require Iran to fire anyone first.
"What do Democrats want for America?
"1. Open Borders. Democrat mayors across the United States order their police to ignore lawful orders to turn over to ICE illegal aliens who have committed violent crimes.
"Julián Castro was the first Democrat presidential candidate this time to call for ending deportations. He wrote, "Immigrants seeking refuge in our country aren’t a threat to national security. Migration shouldn’t be a criminal justice issue. It’s time to end this draconian policy and return to treating immigration as a civil — not a criminal — issue."
"The rest of the candidates followed his lead." . . .

3. Reparations. Elizabeth Warren said, "I believe it’s time to start the national, full-blown conversation about reparations."
 4. Trillions in new taxes. Bloomberg wants to go after "high earners," while Warren wants to confiscate 2% of the acquired wealth of billionaires.
5. Medicare for All. It is actually Medicaid for all as it would eliminate private insurance. Even liberals choke on this one. *
6. Yuppie Chow. The word Yuppie fell out of favor but forgiving $1.6 million million (or $1.6 trillion if you prefer) in student loans is welfare for mainly young urban professionals, most of whom are white. Colleges fleeced them, now they want to fleece taxpayers.
 7. Legalizing Crime. They have legalized pooping in the street, using hard drugs (needle exchanges) and shoplifting (stealing less than $960 is no big deal) in cities in California. New York state has ended requiring bail.
8. Eliminate the Electoral College. Unable to win the last election constitutionally, Democrats want to get around it by having states give up their electors to the candidate with the most votes. The problem with that the Constitution requires approval of each house of Congress and 38 states to eliminate the Electoral College. I do not see an honest judge approving this scheme.
9. Letting felons vote.
They call this restoring their rights.
How about we begin by restoring their rights to own a gun? 
. . . *The Eye-Popping Cost of Medicare for All  . . .  "Senator Elizabeth Warren’s refusal to answer repeated questions at last night’s debate about how she would fund Medicare for All underscores the challenge she faces finding a politically acceptable means to meet the idea’s huge price tag—a challenge that only intensified today with the release of an eye-popping new study." . . .
