Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s campaign slammed Sen. Bernie Sanders I-Vt. for circulating a 2016 video of Bloomberg’s comments on farming in which he said, “You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.”. Bloomberg’s campaign manager Kevin Sheekey said that the comments were “completely out of context.” The problem is that the rest of Bloomberg’s comments don’t help him. Take his comparison to the information economy. “Now comes the information economy and the information economy is fundamentally different because it’s built around replacing people with technology...

It started with a bang. Democrats in the US were tripping over themselves at the start of this year to audition as their party’s chief Trump-slayer. Even the local dogcatcher could defeat Donald Trump, people joked. The field was the largest and most diverse in history — record numbers of women, non-whites, the first openly gay candidate, young aspirants and old. Among those still standing, few show signs of winning the hearts of a party that likes to fall in love, as the saying goes. It was Democrats, after all, who produced John F Kennedy and Barack Obama.

Q. Is there anything in the world as catchy as that old Rupert Holmes** song, “Escape” – aka The Pina Colada Song?A.

Currently looking to “Escape” while continuing the lucrative family business for eight more years. **Frequently and incorrectly attributed to Jimmy BuffetPosted from: MOTUS A.D.

On Wednesday CNN assembled the largest group on record of people suffering from delusions of adequacy.Each demonstrated at length their unique facility for expressing this dangerous form of mediocrity.  Congratulations, 7 hours dedicated to the Democrats’ plan to tax, regulate, ban and confiscate all things fossil fuel and/or carbon related - gas and oil companies, cars, planes, meat and plastic straws - in the interest of something called “environmental justice.” And nearly every one of the candidates declared their willingness to use totalitarian means to implement their plans.Well done. And I understand Ms.NBC is holding another 2 day Climate Change...

President Trump calls them suppression polls, the endless surveys the liberal media puts out there showing how the support for this administration is in the toilet. It’s meant to demoralize his base. It didn’t work in 2016 and it won’t work in 2020. The polls were wrong. Right now, 2020 general election polling is trash. It’s worthless. It’s way too early. Everyone knows that—and even some Democrats would admit that they’re not going to win by a nine-point of double-digit margin next year. If anything, the media just reminds Trump voters that they need to vote next year. In the...

ESSENTIALLY YOU HAVE ONE GUY TRYING TO HOLD BACK THE COMMUNIST FLOOD of “Free-Everything-for-Everybody.” One guy, battling enraged democrat candidates, and mad-dog democrats-at-large, and violent democrat street gangs. You have this same one guy—President Donald Trump—trying to drain an entire decayed swamp by himself, with half the Planet (Earth) gyrating to shut him down, take him out, or maybe even kill him. Because: 1.) Trump interferes with their profit margin. 2.) Trump interferes with their goals of Communist Supremacy In One World, under Their self-aggrandizing One Rule. 3.) Trump makes them feel “uncomfortable.” Democrats have been at war with us...

Could the Democrats' search for a candidate to take on Donald Trump lead them to North Carolina? Gov. Roy Cooper made it sound as though he thinks he'd be a sought-after candidate — at some point, anyway — during a Politico event at Duke University on Thursday. Cooper also offered a take or two distancing himself from the Trump administration. When the event moderator asked Cooper which Democratic candidates should run for the presidency, Cooper replied, "Being the governor of a swing state, I’m sure I'll get some calls."

ATLANTA- Missouri Democrat Jason Kander spent this week knocking on voters’ doors, shaking hands, giving speeches and snapping selfies with eager young campaign volunteers. In Georgia. He was in Atlanta on the last leg of a cross-country tour, the sort that tells the political cognoscenti that this is an up-and-comer to be watched closely. But this is a guy who’s never held an office higher than secretary of state in Missouri. He narrowly lost a winnable Senate campaign last year. He currently holds no political office, and the Kander Political Action Committee is dormant. He says he’s dedicated to his...
