Hemingway: If Bloomberg Couldn’t Buy 2020, How Could Russia Buy 2016?

The Federalist Staff  "Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway joined Fox News’ “Special Report” to discuss New York billionaire Mike Bloomberg’s historic level of campaign spending, and what it reveals about the power of media and establishment consensus.

"Hemingway pointed out how Bloomberg’s failed campaign, despite unlimited resources, pokes holes in the popular narrative that Russia helped Donald Trump “steal” the 2016 election.

“ 'We had years where people were saying a couple hundred thousand dollars in barely literate Facebook ads from Russians caused Donald Trump to win. Here you had a guy spend nearly $1 billion and he went nowhere. It’s a humiliating defeat for Michael Bloomberg,” she said.

"Host Bret Baier drilled the point home: “So Russians influenced the election with $200,000, or $300,000 in Facebook ads? And Mike Bloomberg couldn’t get more than 50 delegates with $600 million dollars?”

“ 'And this hurts Bernie Sanders’s message, too, because he likes to say the billionaires control everything,” Hemingway said. “Clearly Bloomberg having all this money didn’t do as much for him as Biden having the media and the establishment behind him. I would pick media and establishment over millions all day.' ” . . .

“The Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what we’re doing, and we undid that decision a few days ago so that the testing can take place at a much more accurate and rapid fashion,” Trump stated. “That was a decision we disagreed with. I don’t think we would have made it, but for some reason it was made. But we’ve undone that decision.”

Daily Caller  "The Trump administration has rolled back a Food And Drug Administration rule instituted by President Barack Obama that has stalled coronavirus testing at the state level.

The rule in question previously required state-run laboratories to only run medical tests pre-approved by the F.D.A.
"Commissioner Stephen Hahn first addressed the testing problem on Saturday by issuing new guidance that would allow the state labs to conduct not-yet-approved coronavirus testing on patients in response to the public health emergency. In return for skirting the Obama-era regulation, laboratories must apply for an F.D.A. review of the new test, document the test’s accuracy and notify the F.D.A. of the test’s validity prior to F.D.A. completing the approval process. 
. . . 
"Vice President Mike Pence confirmed to reporters Wednesday that the rule in question had in fact been reversed, and President Donald Trump addressed it during his Wednesday meeting with airline officials at the White House." . . .

"SCHUMER, THE ABORTION LOVING BULLY"

grrrgraphics

Ben Garrison  "During a speech delivered on the steps of the Supreme Court, Senator Chuck Schumer threatened conservative Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Both were appointed by President Trump. He warned them not to attack a woman’s ‘right to choose.’ In other words abortion. Here is his quote:

“You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

"Trump asked that Schumer be impeached for making such a blatantly violent threat. Chief Justice Roberts also denounced Schumer. I doubt anything will happen to him. Democrats such as Schumer are above the law, but even CNN condemned his threat. Of course, they immediately said Trump has said similar things. The president hasn’t—otherwise CNN would have stated them.
"Abortion is at the center of such violent emotionalism on the part of the Senator. Any talk of lessening abortion prompts instant anger from the Democrats, Hollywood, and the mass media." . . .

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!

Sen. Chuck Schumer implicitly threatens violence against Supreme Court Justices
Wayne Dupree:  

Sen. Chuck Schumer implicitly threatens violence against Supreme Court Justices

. . . "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

Legal Insurrection: Schumer Goes to War with the Supreme Court Over Abortion

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.

Josh Hawley to File for Censure of Chuck Schumer Over Supreme Court Threats

"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 #SupremeCourt

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?”

Issues & Insights: Democratic Fools And Their Money  "After being trounced on Super Tuesday, Michael Bloomberg announced that he was “suspending” his campaign. He joins fellow billionaire Tom Steyer in the quitters’ camp.
"It makes you wonder how these two succeeded in business when they are so utterly incompetent at selling themselves or their ideas. It also underscores how shrewd billionaire Donald Trump was in 2016.
"Bloomberg built his entire strategy on winning big on Super Tuesday. His pitch to voters – in a series of endlessly repeated ads – was his competency. He was a self-made billionaire, he got things done, he was a proven leader, he was best suited to beat Trump.
"Yet all Bloomberg had to show for his hundreds of millions was a win in American Samoa.
"Even someone as arrogant as Bloomberg could not ignore how disastrous his plan turned out to be. Think about it: Bloomberg spent $464 million of his own money to win a grand total of 64 delegates. That works out to $7.2 million per delegate.
"Another way to look at it: Bloomberg spent nearly $300 for each vote he got. That’s enough to buy every one of his supporters a Luger 9 mm pistol, or almost 4,000 rounds of AR-15 ammo.
"Bloomberg hasn’t done much better with the money he’s plowed into other candidates." . . .

Joe Biden says he’d want Michelle Obama to be his running mate

NY Post  . . . Biden responded: “They’re both incredibly qualified people and they’re such decent, honorable people.”
"The pairing would be a first in American politics; there has never been a presidential ticket that included a former first lady in the VP slot.
"This isn’t the first time Biden had mentioned the idea of the former first lady being his running mate or the former president being on the Supreme Court." . . .
Sorry about the ad first.

First Lady Melania Trump: I Am Proud of How America Empowers Women…
By way of contrast.

Stop and think for a minute, Joe...    

Michelle Obama not proud of America again  (2016)  . . . "Today, she apparently feels that 62 million Americans who voted for Trump have disgraced themselves again through voting for the end of hope.

"What makes Mrs. Obama's declaration so odd is that whether or not Donald Trump can deliver on his wildly ambitious aims, more than anything, his message to a discouraged nation is one of hope.  To the 90 million able-bodied Americans who have given up looking for living wage jobs due to Obama's economic policies, Trump says, have hope!  To a decimated and demoralized military, Trump says, we're going to fix it, buh-lieve me.  To a nation suffering under the Obama administration's hypocritical machinations to admit hundreds of thousands of illegals through broken borders, Trump offers hope for the restoration of a nation of laws.   

"Dozens of Americans have been murdered by illegals.  Michelle Obama expressed no hope to Kate Steinle's family that such brutal crimes would stop.  Kate was collateral damage in the Obamas'  campaign to recolor America; as such, Michelle Obama would never express compassion for Kate's grieving loved ones.  The first lady's disinterest in white children, evidenced by her invitations and efforts, was pointed.  Her inclination to favor black institutions, causes, and guests and to avoid schools and settings representing the actual make-up of Americans was marked.  Michelle Obama never became a first lady for all the American people, the people she was not proud to symbolize in the first place." . . .

Getting back to Biden:  "Glenn Reynolds made an astute comment about Joe’s appearance, which is familiar to all of us who have seen our loved ones fade away:"

Der schumerglower: He Just Threatened Supreme Court Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch ‘You will pay the price’

Sara Carter

Below: der schumerglower

Is anybody else sick of daily seeing this man's menacing glower?

"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer attended a Planned Parenthood rally Wednesday and openly threatened Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, just as the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about a law in Louisiana requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges to the state’s local hospitals.
“ 'I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” said Schumer. “You don’t know what will hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
"Rep. Mark Meadows, R-NC, questioned his threat on Twitter saying “Did Senate Democrat leader Schumer just threaten two conservative justices? Where is the media?”
"Should we should take Schumer’s warning seriously? Maybe, remember it was Schumer who said in early 2017, that the intelligence community would target President Donald Trump when the he questioned why his briefing on Russia’s cyberattacks were delayed.
“ 'Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” said Schumer to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
"Just look at what happened to Trump over the past three years and ask yourself this one question: Could the Democrats use similar tactics to make life for our Supreme Court Justices just as difficult?" . . .

John Roberts Condemns Schumer for Saying Justices ‘Will Pay the Price’ for ‘Awful Decisions’

. . . "Chief Justice Roberts condemned Mr. Schumer’s remarks.

“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous,” he said in a statement. “All members of the court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.”

Bloomberg Is Out, Why Is Warren Still In?

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Power Line "Mike Bloomberg suspended his presidential campaign today. He has endorsed Joe Biden.
"The lesson many will draw from Bloomberg’s failure to win any primary other than the one in American Samoa is that it’s foolish to skip the early contests. To be sure, skipping the early contests isn’t generally a recommended strategy, but I don’t think it was foolish in Bloomberg’s case. His downfall was his debate performance, not his timing.

It’s true that Bloomberg might have debated better if he had been campaigning all along. But one can essentially skip the early contests and still participate in debates. If memory serves, Rudy Giuliani did this in 2008. Unfortunately for Giuliani, he didn’t have anything like Bloomberg’s ability to mass advertise.
"The other problem for Bloomberg was Joe Biden’s revival. It destroyed Bloomberg’s core claim that only he stood between Bernie Sanders and the nomination.
"Imagine a scenario in which Bloomberg debates well and Biden doesn’t revive. In this scenario, Bloomberg would not have flopped on Super Tuesday and might well have a shot at winning the nomination despite skipping the early contests.
"Disappointing though it was, Bloomberg’s Super Tuesday performance bettered that of Elizabeth Warren. Why, then, is Warren still in the race?
"Last night, as she was getting trounced in state after state, including Massachusetts, she sent a message to her supporters. It stated that “we might not know the results the full results from states like Texas, California, and Colorado for a few days.” True. We know, however, that Warren lost each of these states and lost each big.
"Warren continued:" 

Here’s the bottom line. There are six more primaries just a week away, and we need your help to keep up the momentum.

"Momentum? Is Warren delusional?
"Yesterday, I disputed the notion that Bernie Sanders is the victim of a conspiracy by the establishment. I found scant evidence to support such a claim. If there is such evidence, it’s Elizabeth Warren’s continued presence in the race.
"However, I think her continued presence is due to a personality defect, not an establishment conspiracy to deny Sanders leftist votes."

Lawrence O’Donnell Gushes Over Happy Hollywood Voters Spending Hours in Line

MRC   "MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell gushed over the happy, liberal Hollywood voters who were excited to spend hours in line on Super Tuesday. Meanwhile, on sister network NBC, the 80-year-old Tom Brokaw made a cameo appearance in which he chided the Republican Party as a “dwindling tribe” of voters. 

"O’Donnell, who produced the TV show West Wing (among others), painted a picture of film industry pros practically holding hands with regular voters: “My phone is filled with texts from people, friends of mine in those lines. I have one from a Hollywood polling place where the casting director is in a conversation with a cinematographer and a math teacher and someone who is an undivided voter an hour ago in that line, and she says they just realized, and only just realized, that they'd been in the line for two hours.” 

. . . 

"After glossing over the voting problems in California, O’Donnell hyped the very liberal California turnout as a rejection of Trump: 

It is the Trump turnout. This is a turnout driven by a nationwide fear of Donald Trump remaining in office after the next election. These people are afraid of another four years of Donald Trump. They are afraid of what Donald Trump has done. That's who these voters are. This is a Donald trump-generated turnout tonight. 

"On NBC, a few hours earlier, Brokaw appeared. In a tribute to the American voter, the former Nightly News anchor derided the GOP as a “dwindling tribe.' ”  . . .

Two Kinds of Pro-Choice Advocates

Mike Adams

"I remember once when I was a teenager asking my father “What time is it?” He responded by saying, “There are two kinds of people in this world – those who ask what time it is, and those who wear watches.” I could not resist the temptation to respond by saying, “No, the two kinds of people are those who oversimplify the world by breaking it into dichotomies, and those who don’t.” Of course, he didn’t think that was funny. And now I regret saying it because sometimes things do break down into simple dichotomies. One example is support for elective abortion. As complicated as the issue may seem, there are only two types of people in the pro-choice category: science deniers, and opponents of human equality.

"The reason we can break pro-choice advocates into this simple dichotomy is because the pro-life position is really predicated on the veracity of two premises contained in a simple syllogism. This syllogism forces the pro-choice advocate into one of two categories by forcing him to attack either the first or the second premise. For those unfamiliar with the syllogism, which has been popularized by the world’s greatest pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf (see www.CaseForLife.com), here it is in all of its brilliant simplicity:  . . ."

He was represented at trial by David French of the ACLJ and Travis Barham of ADF. On March 20th, the federal jury ruled in Adams favor. On April 8th, the court ordered UNCW to promote Adams and give him seven years back pay. He spent most of the money on guns made by Browning, guitars made by Fender, and amps made by Mesa Boogie.

Barbra Streisand's obsession with Trump

Part of the answer is in her liberalism. I have noticed how miserable liberal women can be. Yesterday, former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile in a Fox News segment told RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to go to hell.  . . .

Don Surber  "A day in the life of Barbra Streisand is sad. Sure she has fame and fortune (her net worth is estimated at $400 million) but she is one sad septuagenarian.

"She wrote in Variety, "Every morning I wake up, holding my breath while I turn on my phone to see the latest news. I think to myself, 'It can’t be worse than yesterday.' But when the news loads, I think, 'Ohhhhh, yes, it is worse.'

" 'No wonder doctors report that more people than ever are anxious and depressed."

"That is pathetic. She has so much to look forward to each day. She has a good husband, a good family, and friends around the world. She lives in a mansion on a marvelous estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu.

"Why does she wake up every morning and immediately tune in the news? Why does she reach out each day to find some new reason to hate President Donald John Trump. Why is she so determined to become upset and angry over things that are out of her control?" . . .
