Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the United States should not send additional aid to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “war machine.” Partial transcript as follows: MARGARET BRENNAN: You have long been a critic of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The other night, President Biden was heard on a hot mic after the State of the Union address saying he has to have a come to Jesus talk with Netanyahu about letting humanitarian aid into Gaza. Have you spoken to President Biden about whether he’s had this conversation? If he hasn’t, what is he...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi will be the keynote speaker for the Eighth Annual Humphrey-Mondale Dinner Humphrie’s Minnesota Farmer–Labor Party (Mdflp) was absorbed by the Democrat Party. Over time: greed driven mis-management, good intentions, and devil 101, gave over. Borg like intel collectives, politically linked to hive minded spritts, puddles, then ponds, swamps. It’s nature,kinda like gravity. Observe: Amy Klobuchar Keith Ellison Dona Brazill & Timy Kaine Ilhan Omar Ilhan wanabies A Mdflp puppet collection, Max , Dick, Nancy Adam; but amusing footnotes.

The Facebook page of government contractor Reality Leigh Winner was filled Tuesday with predictions from strangers about the indignities awaiting her behind bars. “Hope you enjoy prison,” wrote one detractor. “At least it will be federal not state.” Ms. Winner, a 25-year-old Air Force veteran, environmentalist and opponent of President Trump, is accused of leaking a classified government report to an online news site. While the Justice Department didn’t address her motives in its criminal complaint, Ms. Winner’s social media account contains numerous references to environmental activism and support for liberal Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont. She refers to Mr....

Socialist Bernard Sanders says that Barack Obama is on Americans’ side while the GOP doesn’t want America to succeed. Appearing on CBS’ softball-throwing joke of a political interview show—Face the Nation (whose host, Bob Schieffer, infamously failed to ask misbehaving Attorney General Eric Holder in an interview why he refused to prosecute the intimidation of white voters by Black Panthers)—Sanders left no doubt as to who he thinks is pro-American and anti-American. The Independent senator from Vermont—who’s only an independent because the moonbat Democrat Party under Obama and Pelosi is apparently not far enough left for his enjoyment—heaped mountains of...

The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery has agreed to change the wording on the plaque accompanying a portrait of President George W. Bush in response to a complaint by Sen. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.). Sanders objected to the sign's language because he believed it suggested a linkage between the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and the subsequent U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. The plaque reads: “Expecting that the success of his presidency would hinge, as it had when he was governor, on his negotiating skills and ability to solve problems, Bush found his two terms in office were instead marked...

Conservatives are rightly worried about attempts being made now by liberal Democrats to reinstate the “Fairness Doctrine”. Sounds good, doesn’t it – this “Fairness Doctrine”? The only problem is that it is another attempt to shut up and shut down anyone who doesn’t agree with leftist philosophy. Let’s look back: First we have a situation where most of the country does not agree with unlimited abortion. Some states were slowly changing their laws to relax some limitations on abortions, but it was clear that voters and legislatures were highly resistive to any changes. So what do liberals do? They work...

CASTLETON, Vt. -- A new name may soon join Fidel, Vladimir, and Karl in the pantheon of famous socialists: Bernie. That would be Vermont's US Representative Bernard Sanders, who, in this election season of tight races, appears to be cruising to victory in his campaign for the US Senate, according to recent polls. If elected Tuesday, he would be the first self-proclaimed socialist to serve in the Senate. Far from a stern ideologue, Sanders cuts an affable figure among his constituents, a trait on display at a rally this week at Castleton State College.

Seeks to clear way for independent in US Senate bid... Vermont's Democratic Party is maneuvering to keep the Democratic candidates for the state's open US Senate seat off the November ballot, as party leaders seek to clear the way for independent Representative Bernard Sanders in his bid for the Senate. State Democratic leaders are spearheading efforts to gather signatures to put Sanders on the ballot as a Democrat, even though Sanders has repeatedly said he would turn down the party's nomination if he wins the primary. At least three other candidates have announced their intention to run for the Democratic...

(If link above doesn't work, go to wrko.com and look for "Radio 101" at the top.) An 11 minute bit from the Howie Carr show where Howie talks about Rep. Bernie Sanders (Communist-Vermont) saying that talk radio should be 50-50...not enough liberal talk on there. Comrade Bernie apparently doesn't realize the American public will listen to what it wants...well- reasoned and entertaining radio (so much for you, Al Franken)...and as for why libtalk Air America hasn't succeeded? "We already HAVE a liberal talk network here. It's called NPR!"

Rep. Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.) challenged liberals attending the "Take Back America" conference to take on the "right-wing nuts" on talk radio and demand that local radio stations and newspapers provide "alternative points of view." "The fight to allow people to hear different points of view is as important as any other fight, so I would urge people at the grassroots to start taking on the local media," Sanders said during a panel discussion Wednesday on the topic of media reform. "If you have a right-wing station in your community, you've got to go up to those people and say, 'You've...

RICHFORD, Vt. -- Rep. Bernie Sanders collapsed Sunday while attending the funeral of a Vermont National Guardsman killed last month in Iraq, but he was able to walk to an ambulance without assistance. "I feel all right," Sanders, 64, said as he left the building. "My wife had a flu. I'm fine."

Vermont Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie is being pulled in two directions — by House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), who would like him to run for the House, and by Senate Republicans urging him to seek the seat being vacated by Sen. Jim Jeffords (I-Vt.).

Howard Dean endorses Bernie Sanders' run for U.S. Senate By EVAN LEHMANN, MediaNews Group Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- Breaking party lines, former Gov. Howard Dean said Monday he supports Rep. Bernard Sanders' bid for the U.S. Senate, saying the Independent makes a "strong candidate." "A victory for Bernie Sanders is a win for Democrats," Dean said in a telephone interview Monday. Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vt., announced last month he would not seek re-election, clearing the way for what's expected to be a crowded race in fall 2006. But Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, added that his support is...

Beltway Buzz    Eric Pfeiffer Reporting Sanders Playing Chicken When media outlets like the New York Times attack Tom DeLay for paying members of his family to work on his re-election campaigns, that's perfectly all right with liberals. But when the local media starts reporting on liberals' own family ties, they don't like it as much. Earlier this week, the Bennington Banner, a local Vermont paper, reported that liberal House member Bernie Sanders has paid his wife and daughter more than $150,000 in the past few years. The paper got all of its statistics from the government Federal Elections Commission website....

...snip... WASHINGTON -- Rep. Bernard Sanders used campaign donations to pay his wife and stepdaughter more than $150,000 for campaign-related work since 2000, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. Jane O'Meara Sanders, his wife, received $91,020 between 2002 and 2004 for "consultation" and for negotiating the purchase of television and radio time-slots for Sanders' advertisements, according to records and interviews. ...snip>>>
