C'mon; I know that politicians, and Democrats specifically, have less than no respect for the American people, but do they really think we're dumb enough to believe they're actually going to permit Joe Biden to be their candidate against President Trump? Biden can't tell you how many fingers he's holding up while standing in front of a mirror. He is stunningly incoherent, a pitiful example of diminished capacity. Additionally, he's not far from being indicted for allegedly sexually molesting Tara Reade, his former aide.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Speaker Pelosi released a joint statement Monday morning demanding that Republicans stop “political posturing” on COVID-19 small business relief legislation, after the pair of Democratic leaders successfully blocked additional funding for the bipartisan Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) last week: The delay of additional funding, as the original funding runs out as small businesses begin to see relief, is at the hands of Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi, who torpedoed the bill when their list of unrelated demands were not met. Republicans, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), proposed a clean bill...

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, news broke that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer struck a deal to finally push the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill through. On Sunday night, the legislation was nearly finalized when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi flew back into town after a week in California and blew up the process by demanding a far-left and unrelated wish list be included in the bill. Now, after days of wasted time and additional work, Pelosi has indicated the House won't vote on the Senate bill today. Further, Pelosi may ask for additional adjustments...

At Pajamas Media, Stephen Green rightly titled his live blog on the debate, “Grumpy Old White Men: Drunkblogging the Democratic Diversity Debate. But these two old codgers are beyond grumpy; they are both tethered to the already done or distant past. The first half hour of this match was dedicated to the current crisis of the coronavirus. They both puffed themselves up to tell us all what they would do; each and every suggestion from both of them were things President Trump has already done, already put in place. It was as though neither of them has paid a bit...

As Texans headed to the polls on Super Tuesday, a museum director posted a message on Facebook expressing the hope that every person voting Republican would die that day. This threat comes amid a spate of politically-motivated violence, including a truck driver attempting to run down Republicans registering voters, a man sucker-punching a boy at a voting booth, and a man threatening Trump supporters with a cane sword. "I hope every single one of you pieces of sh*t that votes republican, dies today," Melonnie Hicks, director of the Pioneer City Museum in Sweetwater, Texas, posted on Facebook.

A proposal from Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer to increase the federal minimum wage to $22 per hour would body-slam the economy, according to a former CEO of one of America's major corporations. Earlier this month, Steyer proposed increasing the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 per hour, to $22 per hour, according to Fox Business. Other major Democratic presidential candidates have lined up behind a $15 minimum wage, according to The Washington Post.

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,...

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.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has taken to describing his supposed arrest in South Africa at least three times in the past two weeks as he speaks to voters and seeks the Democratic presidential nomination. Biden has been claiming that he was arrested in the 1970s by South African authorities while he sought to visit Nelson Mandela in prison, The New York Times reported Friday. “This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid,” Biden told supporters in South Carolina last week, according to the Times. “I had the great honor of...

Do you ever feel like Luke Skywalker when he walks into the alien bar where the bizarre is portrayed as normal? Just considering a recent Democratic proposal in Alabama makes it feel as if we have awakened to find ourselves surrounded by drunken space creatures. It seems that a Democrat Alabama state legislator has lost her mind over new state laws that offer greater protections to preborn babies. Her response is for the Alabama government to require that every man over 50 and every father of three children to undergo forced sterilization. State Rep. Rolanda Hollis tweeted: "The Vasectomy bill...

Fox News is reporting that a 34-year-old man has been arrested for assaulting a 15-year-old Trump supporter and two adults at a New Hampshire polling site earlier this week. According to the mother of the teenage boy, her son has been "traumatized" as a result of the incident. Patrick Bradley is accused of assaulting the teenage boy at a polling location in Windham, New Hampshire on Tuesday. The boy was wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and standing with others at a Trump campaign tent outside Windham High School. Police say Bradley approached the tent after exiting the voting...

The city of Portland, Oregon, has been taken over by the scum of the Earth and the mayor and city police have allowed it to happen. The masked group of thugs who call themselves “antifa,” which is supposedly short for “anti-fascist” though their actions are as fascist as they come, was at it again on Saturday in another violent protest in the city. Three demonstrators were arrested in the fracas, but judging by the videos shared on social media, a lot more arrests should have been made. More suspects are being sought in the defacing of a war memorial where...

“I have my views on the word ‘socialist,’ and I’ll be glad to share them with you in private and they go back to the early 1950s. I have an attitude about them, I remember the Cold War, I have an attitude toward Castro,” Matthews contined. “I believe if Castro and the reds had won the Cold War there would have been executions in Central Park and I might have been one of the ones getting executed and certain other people would be there cheering, OK?” “So I have a problem with people who took the other side,” Matthews continued....

The grueling debate Friday night on ABC was actually sad for the seven debaters, with the exception of Andrew Yang, for they all are panderers of the first order. They all say only what they think their potential supporters want to hear. There are few core beliefs among them. They all seem either ignorant or in serious denial of the countless successes of the Trump administration because they all simply deny them. They are each depending, as usual, on the conviction that all Americans are very stupid and unable to discern between the truth and their lies meant to terrorize...

ABC NEWS: The Democratic Debate 02/07/20 10:30 p.m. Eastern PITTS: So, Biden isn't expected to do well in New Hampshire. He has to do well in South Carolina which has a larger black vote. Race didn't come up in this debate until about nine minutes in and it came up from Tom Steyer who brought it up and then they engaged. One thing I have to say about all the candidates, when it came to the conversation about race 9 minutes in, I thought in some ways all the candidates were tone deaf. Because so often when they discuss race,...

Sen. Bernie Sanders made quite the claim about racism in America during the Democratic debate Friday night in New Hampshire. “We have a racist society from top to bottom impacting healthcare, housing, criminal justice, education, you name it,” he said. “And clearly this is an issue that must be dealt with.”

A good majority of New Hampshire Democrats are feeling existential right about now. According to a poll from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, 64 percent of Democratic voters would rather see "a giant meteor strike the Earth, extinguishing all human life" than President Trump re-elected. The poll, conducted Jan. 28–31, also shows about half of Independent voters would say the same extreme thing. How New Hampshire voters feel about the death of humanity does coincide with how well they're materially doing on this planet. While 69 percent of respondents making under $50,000 a year say they'd be cool with...

And so to me, the best use of that big blue-and-white airplane that comes with the Oval Office that the president uses mostly for the purpose of traveling among golf courses with his name on them -- I don't even golf so that's not going to be how I use that airplane. I'm going to use that airplane to go directly into the backyard of senators who are not just defying my White House but defying their own voters, their own constituents, and require them to explain to the people who sent them to Washington why they refuse to enact...
