  • Why are the Networks are Backing Bloomberg and All his Ads?

    Think how much good could have been done with all the money Bloomberg and the democrats have wasted in all these Bloomberg ads. Of course the networks continue to back him to keep the goose alive in the race that lays the golden eggs. I don't know who the democrat party wants to be the nominee but it is not any of the ones on the debate stage now. Socialism, higher taxes, medicare for all, green new deal and the only one that can beat Trump are not things that many Americans like or will vote for.

    Bernie Sanders is another fraud that is coming from the left. A few days ago news broke out that US officials have told Bernie Sanders that Russia is trying to help his campaign 30 days ago, prompting the frontrunner in the Democratic race to strongly condemn any interference. He stayed quiet as always. His communist’s past is nothing new, he spend a lot of time in Moscow and praised socialists and communist doctrines in the past. His base is nothing but far-left protestors that were exposed during recent Project-Veritas videos. What we didn’t know is that he is planning an...

    .@PeteButtigieg, you clearly don’t understand the movement @BernieSanders has built. It reflects the true values + hope of working people in America. They simply want a country that puts working people first. Your critique tonight speaks for the American elite, not the majority— Bill de Blasio (@BilldeBlasio) February 23, 2020 And hey @PeteButtigieg, try to not be so smug when you just got your ass kicked. You know how we form a winning coalition to beat Trump? With a true multi-racial coalition of working Americans: something @BernieSanders has proven he can do + you haven’t. Dude, show some humility—...

    People magazine dramatically downsized its political coverage as Donald Trump rose to power. But in this week's issue, the Historic Moment of a gay man winning a Democrat presidential caucus was just too dramatic for them to avoid. The puffery was epic. The headline was: THE MAYOR MAKING HISTORY: The first openly gay candidate to win a presidential caucus steps into the spotlight: "The presidency now calls for unity and somebody ready to turn the page." This man is the "unity" candidate? That only makes sense if you think the radical things that all the current Democrat candidates back, from...

    Sorry for the vanity, but after reading and watching the news this morning the Dem's and their media are going nuts because the realize Bernie will be the nominee. The ONLY way out of this mess is for them is to give Hillary a call and destroy Bernie's chances. Any thoughts or guesses about when Hillary steps in to the campaign?

    It’s midday in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. As the sun beats down, saguaro cacti throw little shade over this part of the Sonoran Desert, where summer temperatures regularly top 37°C (99°F). Today though a very narrow segment of the park is getting a little more shade. It’s accompanied by the incessant whine of construction vehicles. President Donald Trump’s major campaign promise is taking shape — a rusty, nine-meter tall mix of concrete and steel. As of January 31, 185 kilometers (115 miles) of new wall had been built, according to the US Customs and Border Protection Agency. Depending on...

    Since the Russians are behind every voting booth in the country according to the MSM, the DNC, the Intelligence Community, and Hillary, it is incumbent upon President Trump and his DOJ to ensure an untainted election in 2020. President Obama had such warnings from high sources prior to the 2016 election and he blew them off. As things stand now the only way Trump can prove there is no “Russian” influence is for him to lose. If he (or now Bernie Sanders) wins, the election was cheated, invalid, and illegitimate; if he loses, and an establishment Democrat wins, then the...

    Five Harvard students are suing university officials over Harvard's investments in what they call the "prison-industrial complex." The students are accusing the university's president, a senior fellow of Harvard Corporation, and Harvard's endowment manager, Harvard Management Company (HMC), of a "violation of fiduciary duty and breach of the Harvard charter." ...Unlike the students in 2014, whose case was initially dismissed because the judge said the plaintiffs lacked standing, the new crop of students say that they now have standing because they are also donors to Harvard.

    On Friday's PBS NewsHour, liberal commentator Mark Shields made a very odd historical comparison -- the 2020 Democrat presidential contenders were like American revolutionaries of 1776, fighting a president who is somehow like King George III, the tyrannical English monarch. But first, both Shields and David Brooks agreed that Bernie Sanders -- the antithesis of 1776 libertarian ideas -- was the clear front-runner among Democrats, and Michael Bloomberg had a terrible debate. "He couldn't go toe to toe with Elizabeth Warren. I mean, she absolutely dominated him. She dominated the stage," proclaimed Shields. "I'm not sure she won the crowd,...

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) has momentum that is unmatched. He came out neck-and-neck with former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg in Iowa, although Buttigieg ended up with one more delegate. He won by a razor-thin margin in New Hampshire, although he came out with the same number of delegates as Buttigieg. And he absolutely crushed it in Nevada, with practically no competition. But why is Bernie seeing such a surge? A large part of it has to do with the fact that average, working-class Americans are disenfranchised by the Democratic Party. In a lot of ways, Bernie is an...

    When Mikaila Ulmer was four years old, she received an old cookbook from her grandmother. It was tattered and the covering was falling off, but the recipes were still intact. Thumbing through the pages, she stumbled on a mixture for flaxseed lemonade. “We tried making it, and it tasted really good,” Mikaila recalled in an interview years later. The Austin, Texas, native decided to sell the concoction at a lemonade stand. After a while—and an additional touch of her own, an infusion of honey, inspired by a newfound fascination with bees (more on that later)—Mikaila was encouraged by a local...

    The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) now admits to an internal report showing the Coronavirus did not originate from the Huanan food market as they initially stated. Senator Tom Cotton has previously questioned the origination claim because there is a level-4 biological weapons lab in Wuhan, China, where the Huanan market is located. Tonight Senator Cotton tweets vindication toward his original suspicions: (Via Global Times) A new study by Chinese researchers indicates the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November from a place other than the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan. The study published on ChinaXiv, a Chinese...

    This winter semester, more UW-Madison students are bundled up inside, counting on app-based delivery robots to feed their appetites. The maker Starship launched a fleet of thirty self-navigating campus food carriers in November. Since then, Peter Testory, the university’s director of dining, said orders have jumped more than 700 percent. Testory said there’s also a correlation between bad winter weather and service use. When the order comes in with a “ding,” dining staff prepare the food at a campus kitchen. Runners or, oftentimes, kitchen managers take the food to the delivery bots parked outside. Once runners close the lids, the...

    It did not take long for the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg, to target the winner of Saturday's Democratic caucuses in Nevada. Socialist Bernie Sanders is projected to win a decisive victory in the Silver State, sending the media into a frenzy over renewed concerns that nominating a socialist would all but guarantee a second term for President Trump. In a speech following his apparent loss in Nevada, Buttigieg told a crowd of supporters that nominating Bernie Sanders would not sit well with the American people.
  • JetBlue signs loan linked to ESG goals

    JetBlue has signed on to a new credit facility that is priced according to its performance on environmental and social matters, the first of its kind in the airline industry. The carrier’s $550m sustainability-linked loan, which was set up by French bank BNP Paribas, gives it a financial incentive to follow through on its public commitment to reduce its carbon footprint. The margin the airline pays will go up or down in conjunction with its environmental, social and governance (ESG) score as determined by Vigeo Eiris, a Paris-based sustainability research group that was recently acquired by Moody’s.

    Congratulated a long-time Democrat at church (between class & services) on Bernie Sanders' win in Nevada and his face visibly reddened with boiling anger. He asked, "Are you a Bernie supporter?" I said that I was not. He then asked, "Are you congratulating me? Why are you congratulating me???" He was VISIBLY angry. He knows I am a conservative and made a disparaging comment about it many years ago. I said that I thought that was his party and then apologized. He said, "Apology accepted!" and then stomped off.

    A new poll finds that a wide majority of Americans are open to voting President Donald Trump in for a second term this November, with a significant increase from last year. The poll, conducted by The Hill and HarrisX and released Thursday, found 62 percent of registered voters expressed openness to casting their ballot for Trump, compared with only 38 percent who said they wouldn’t vote for him. The survey, which polled 1,001 registered voters between Feb. 14 and Feb. 15, with a margin of error of plus- or minus-3.1 percentage points, differed dramatically from a March 2019 poll on...
