The Stock Market rebellion has been a recent dynamic that has gone after hedge fund managers who use a technique called the “short-sell.” The short-sell strategy makes money by reducing the price of stocks that they never actually owned. They “borrow” stocks from other people, sell them at a relatively higher price, then buy them back after they’ve tanked, give the stock back to the original owner with a fee, and keep the rest of the profit. They’re basically hyenas. Ben Shapiro made a great video explaining what is happening. You expect the hedge fund managers who are losing money...

Donald Trump is a once in a generation candidate. It seems that both parties get one. Every decade or so, one of the parties get a candidate who excites the base, wakes up voters, and crosses party lines. There is no “next” Donald Trump, and everyone knows this. The last twenty years have taught us political lifers and dull personalities won't be president. Between John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Hillary Clinton, very little charisma existed. Their experiences as Senators paled when facing Obama's and Trump's big personalities.

The race for the Democrat nomination has narrowed to two leading candidates. President Trump is undoubtedly preparing for either Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden as his 2020 election opponent. We should be able, at this point, to make a reasonable guess at how the president would fare against either of these candidates.

The Democrats and their allies in the Mainstream Media outlets have spent the last quadrennial trying to maintain a narrow balancing act. On one hand, they want Bernie Sanders, avowed socialist and "Independent" Senator from Vermont to be a viable politician and treat him as a strong voice on the left. On the other, they are doing everything they could to ensure that Bernie would not be the Democrats’ nominee in either 2016 or 2020.

I am not a doctor or an epidemiologist. I am a regular guy who sees the world and tries to understand it from a very common sense point of view. Tragedy has struck China, the virus has spread around the world. The Coronavirus is a problem and it must be dealt with. I am not a denier: what I will say is stay calm and don’t panic.

Washington Democrats are in full-blown panic over the highly possible nomination of Socialist Bernie Sanders. They ought to be: Sanders represents a relatively small portion of the Democrat voting base, is proposing ideas which are radical and destructive even for the fiscally-irresponsible Democrats, and when pitted against Donald Trump, could win fewer than two hundred electoral votes. Sanders represents everything that would destroy the United States from its very core, but his popularity and threat to Democrats’ viability for years to come rests at the Democrats’ very feet.
