On CNN this morning, Alisyn Camerota proved in real-time a Bloomberg aide's allegation that the media has failed to properly vet Bernie Sanders. On New Day, senior Bloomberg adviser Tim O'Brien said that Sanders had advocated that "toddlers should run around naked and touch each other's genitals to insulate themselves from porn." "What?? What??!!," a shocked, astonished, and utterly gobsmacked Camerota exclaimed. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The only thing that can be said about former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's first appearance with his fellow Democratic presidential candidates in Las Vegas Wednesday night was that Mike did not get it done, as his campaign ads promise he will if he becomes president. He was boring, expressionless and could not defend himself against past racist, sexist and misogynistic comments, including one mentioned by Elizabeth Warren, who said Bloomberg once referred to women as "fat broads" and "horse-faced lesbians." During the debate he also refused to release women who worked for him from sexual harassment nondisclosure agreements,...

If Bloomberg has any chance of winning the nomination, he has to redirect his resources during the primary and run ads against Sanders -- not Trump. Bloomberg needs to use the next $400 million in ad spending to attack Sanders on his potential weaknesses in a general election and highlight how far left his campaign is.

VIDEO They are panicked, absolutely PANICKED, over the real outcome of the Democrat debate in Las Vegas which turned into a wild brawl due to the presence of Michael Bloomberg. Watch the entertaining spectacle of the media furiously rubbing their worry beads in a state of PANIC over the fact that it now appears that Bernie Sanders will end up as the Democrats' Designated McGovern of 2020 whose task is to LOSE in a landslide to President Trump in the general election.

LAS VEGAS — Mike Bloomberg is privately lobbying Democratic Party officials and donors allied with his moderate opponents to flip their allegiance to him — and block Bernie Sanders — in the event of a brokered national convention. The effort, largely executed by Bloomberg’s senior state-level advisers in recent weeks, attempts to prime Bloomberg for a second-ballot contest at the Democratic National Convention in July by poaching supporters of Joe Biden and other moderate Democrats, according to two Democratic strategists familiar with the talks and unaffiliated with Bloomberg. The outreach has involved meetings and telephone calls with supporters of Biden...

VIDEO As you can see in this video, the media was hilariously distressed by the Democrats tearing themselves apart at their bloody, no punches pulled, debate in Las Vegas. Not only were the candidates all beating on Mike Bloomberg but there were also very tense moments between Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar. The mainstream media is very very worried that the real winner of that debate was Donald Trump... And they would be RIGHT!!!

Regarding last night’s Evening in Paris: It appeared as a mashup of The Re-animator,The Dark Knight Rises: To be clear, Bloomie is cast as Bane, not the Dark KnightMean Girls, Type-cast, but rightly soand Idiocracy. Not a good look Dems. It was bad enough when Democrats booed God at their convention in 2012. Last night they also booed capitalism. Bloomberg, addressing his fellow Democrats who were all blasting capitalism: “That's ridiculous. We're not going to throw out capitalism. We tried that, other countries tried that. It was called communism and it just didn't work.” The crowd moaned and booed. What...

There are many great money quotes. It can’t buy happiness. It can’t buy love. It’s like seawater – the more we drink the thirstier we become. It’s the root of all evil. But this week, money transformed a diminutive, unimpressive, unlikeable former mayor into an overnight star in the Democratic primary.  Reports suggest Michael Bloomberg, the former Republican-turned Independent-turned Democrat billionaire former mayor of New York has already spent ten times more than his next closest Democrat rival in the race for the party’s nomination, and he’s just getting warmed up.Honestly, it’s hard to whip myself up over the trouble...

Multibillionaire Michael Bloomberg landed in Las Vegas like a highly anticipated show on the Strip. But when he took to the stage with five competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination Wednesday night, their debate immediately became an Ultimate Fighting Championship match. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., landed the most blows and won the night. Warren would not be ignored or denied. Warren flattened Bloomberg out of the gate using his own words against the former New York City mayor and he never recovered. As a result, voters got to see the real Warren, who was the front-runner last fall. And they...

The Democratic presidential debate Wednesday night kicked off with fireworks, as every person on stage not named Mike Bloomberg attacking the former New York City mayor, who was participating in his first presidential face off. The first hit at the NBC/MSNBC two-hour debate here came from frontrunner Bernie Sanders, who ripped Bloomberg for his record as mayor. Next to swing at Bloomberg was Elizabeth Warren, who took aim at the mayor's past critical statements about women. "I'd like to talk about who we're running against. A billionaire who calls women 'fat broads' and 'horse-faced lesbians,' and, no, I'm not talking...

U.S.—Farmers have long been looked down upon by coastal elites, and now the farmers are finally getting their revenge: the "redneck hicks" all around the country have announced they will not be shipping the ingredients needed to make avocado toast to major liberal cities like New York and Los Angeles. "Until further notice, you'll have to farm your own wheat and grow your own avocados," a spokesperson for America's farmers said as he chewed on a stalk of Timothy grass and did other stereotypical farmer things. "Have fun! Yeehaw!" Avocado farmers in rural parts of Florida and California reminded city...

Mike Bloomberg's campaign is sounding the alarm that Bernie Sanders will soon amass an unsurmountable delegate lead if the Democratic field stays split — and took the extraordinary step of suggesting laggards should drop out. What they're saying: Kevin Sheekey, Bloomberg's top strategist, said: "The fact is if the state of this race remains status quo — with Biden, Pete and Amy in the race on Super Tuesday — Bernie is likely to open up a delegate lead that seems nearly impossible to overcome." "I don’t think many people understand the dire circumstances here." Why it matters: Based on every...

Bloomberg is rising in polls and just qualified for the debate stage in Nevada, but a question nags: who really wants Bloomberg to be president? Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s massive campaign spending—hundreds of millions of dollars and counting—appears to be paying off. One poll this week showed Bloomberg tied with Sen. Bernie Sanders in Virginia, each with 22 percent, and after garnering 19 percent in a national poll released Tuesday, Bloomberg has qualified for the Democratic presidential debate tonight in Las Vegas.At first glance Bloomberg’s poll surge suggests the New York billionaire has a real shot at...

It’s been a tough week for Mike Bloomberg. As Democrats were going to the polls in New Hampshire last Tuesday, video emerged of the former New York mayor defending his controversial stop, question, and frisk (SQF) policy by saying minority suspects should be thrown against walls. In addition, several stories came out with multiple allegations of sexism. So it’s no surprise that he is now… in second place nationally in a new poll and first in Virginia in another? If the opposition research dump was meant to halt his rapid rise in the polls over the past two months, it...

Methinks Scarborough doth protest too much. On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, speaking of Joe Biden, insisted, "I'm not doing his bidding. I'm just telling you the truth." And the truth, according to Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, is that Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders would be weak candidates, whereas Biden would have the best chance of defeating President Trump. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

There is nothing small about Mini-Mike’s ego. As the billionaire oligarch continues his attempt at a leveraged buyout of the Democrat Party and its presidential nomination, there is no bigger factor getting in his way than his own unbearable arrogance. Let’s go through the highlights of what we have heard from the former Mayor of New York City in just the past week: Stop and Frisk – A week ago today, video leaked of a 2015 speech in which Bloomberg, then 3 years removed from his final day as Mayor, bragged to an audience in the starkest, and most racist...

During a CNN town hall in Nevada, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is asked if he'd accept money from Michael Bloomberg, discussed his views on Christianity, and responded to president Trump's support of conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh's attack on Buttigieg's sexuality. ...

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...

VIDEO There is a lot of competition for the exalted role of World's Worst Entertainer. It takes a special lack of skill sets. Most people lack those skills but as you can see, Mike Bloomberg lacks them best in all departments: singing, dancing, and general acting.

A program funded by 2020 presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is paying the salaries of lawyers who are farmed out to liberal state attorney general offices to pursue climate-based litigation -- a compact critics say amounts to Bloomberg buying state law enforcement employees to advance his preferred political agenda. The arrangement, which currently pays the salaries of Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs) in 10 Democratic AG offices, is drawing new scrutiny now that Bloomberg is running for president. The New York University School of Law's State Energy & Environmental Impact Center, which was started in 2017 with $5.6 million from Bloomberg's...
