Bob Good (VA-Dist 5) is being primaried for no good reason by selfish douchebags at a time when the GOP has a ONE-VOTE majority in the House.Republicans: Please remember when the “Tea Party” gave us Dem majorities and ObamaCare with candidates like Christine O'Donnell, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock.Here are my Tips for Republican Voters:1) No elected Republican will do everything you want. Don't run off and instigate an ugly, rancorous, and expensive primary against an incumbent Republican in order to modestly improve the candidate, and very possibly lose the seat.2) The only exception to Tip No. 1 is that you must destroy any elected Republican who pretends to be a Republican, but then tries to lose every single issue, across the board, by giving the Democrats 30 million new voters with amnesty.3) Learn to rely on facts and don't get swept up in group-think slogans about “establishment Republicans.” Otherwise, boy, will your face be red when you realize you were the one fighting for the establishment Republicans! (Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Paul Ryan--all of whom support amnesty).BONUS! Tips for Democrats:1) Be sure your primaries include lots of candidates who will never be the nominee. You don't want your base getting too focused on the actual purpose of the exercise.2) Hold 312 primary debates. We Republicans find that lots of debates encourage attention-seekers and nuts to throw their hat in the ring.3) Extend your primaries through July, or at least June, especially when running against an incumbent president. It really keeps the nominee on his toes to have only three months to campaign against a candidate who's been campaigning for four years.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: An international advisory body that’s long been seen as providing cover to the oil and gas industry made some jaws drop with a new report. The International Energy Agency now says new fossil fuels projects need to be put to a stop immediately. Meanwhile, a formidable Democratic challenger has emerged to take on Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio. Progressives can’t get too excited, however – she’s a former cop. And lastly, both chambers of Congress have now passed a bill designed to address the spike in anti-Asian hate crimes. Sixty three Republicans stood to oppose it, for reasons only they will ever truly understand. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: This agenda-setter comes from the Houston Chronicle. The International Energy Agency, the body that advises governments on energy and is widely respected among Republicans and Democrats, warned yesterday that nations need to halt oil and gas development this year if they are to meet their target of net zero emissions by 2050. In a new report the IEA advises nations to shift their economies to run largely on electricity, with ninety percent of that energy coming from renewables such as wind and solar. Such a shift in less than thirty years represents a daunting challenging for governments, who would need to overhaul their energy systems in a fraction of the time of past energy transitions, such as the move from wood to coal. Fatih Birol, the IEA Executive Director, calls this, "perhaps the greatest challenge humankind has ever faced." The Chronicle reports that to make it happen, the IEA is recommending several things. It says governments should end subsidies for fossil fuels and put a price on greenhouse gas emissions. It also says they should mandate the end of technologies including internal combustion cars, gas-powered furnaces and coal plants. Separately, the Washington Post reports that President Joe Biden yesterday cast the US as being in an urgent race with China to build electric vehicles. Biden was visiting a plant in Dearborn, Michigan, that is about to unveil the electric version of its popular F-150 pickup truck. Can we do this without the gratuitous nationalism, please? Val Demings Takes On Marco Rubio Here’s a battleground race to watch. The Washington Post reports that Democratic Representative Val Demings, who raised her national profile as one of the House managers prosecuting Donald Trump’s first impeachment, plans to run for the Senate in Florida in a bid to unseat Republican Senator Marco Rubio. Demings is now the most high-profile Democrat seeking to take on Rubio. If she wins the party primary, she will be a formidable opponent against the incumbent. The race will certainly receive national attention, but Rubio won’t be easy to beat. Trump won Florida in 2020, and Rubio has former president’s full support. Still, the former Orlando police chief-turned-politician has seen her star rise in her brief time in Washington, even making the shortlist of President Biden’s possible vice-presidential picks. The Post says Rubio is viewed favorably by more Florida voters than not, but his approval is under fifty percent, which suggests he has some vulnerability. A Democrat with knowledge of Demings’s strategy said the congresswoman is entering the race early in the hope of galvanizing support from key players to box out other potential candidates and avoid a messy primary. Key among them is Representative Stephanie Murphy, another rising star in Florida Democratic circles and the first Vietnamese American woman to be elected to Congress. Murphy has been on a listening tour across the state in anticipation of her Senate run. She’s also a moderate, so there’s still room for a strong progressive in the primary. Biden Will Sign Hate Crimes Bill The opposition here is puzzling. NBC News reports that the House yesterday passed a Senate bill to address the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes during the Covid-19 pandemic. Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono introduced the bill in March alongside New York Representative Grace Meng, both Democrats. Last month the Senate passed it ninety four to one. Yesterday’s House vote was three hundred and sixty four to sixty two. All sixty two No votes were from Republicans. Texas Republican Representative Chip Roy said ahead of the vote that he didn’t support the measure because he didn’t think it would be effective. Suuuure. According to NBC, the legislation directs the Department of Justice to expedite the review of Covid-related hate crimes that were reported to law enforcement agencies, and help them establish ways to report such incidents online. The bill also directs the attorney general and the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on how to mitigate racially discriminatory language in describing the pandemic. Ahead of the vote, House Democrats maintained the legislation will help prevent the spate of attacks against Asian Americans. Meng, who represents a district in Queens with a large Asian-American population, said her community has faced despicable and sickening acts of hate and violence over the last year and a half. The bill's passage in the House paves the way for it to head to President Biden’s desk. He’s expected to sign it later this week. Now we should ask, what more can be done? AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: The Guardian reports that Chile’s elections resulted in resounding victories for leftist and independent candidates while rightwing politicians crashed to dismal electoral defeats. Across two days of voting, Chileans cast votes for the one hundred and fifty five delegates who will write a new constitution to replace Augusto Pinochet’s 1980 document and the neoliberal model it enshrined. It’s an inspiring moment of political optimism. The Associated Press says that with the war showing no sign of abating, Palestinians staged a general strike yesterday. One protester was killed and more than seventy wounded – including sixteen by live fire – in clashes with Israeli troops in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Hebron and other cities. Israel continued its airstrikes into Gaza. Optimism here is harder to find. CBS News reports that Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order yesterday that will bar public schools and most other government entities from requiring masks. The order bans any government entity from mandating masks, with fines of up to $1,000 for those who don’t comply. Talk about useless grandstanding. Axios reports that the FBI is investigating what it describes as a massive scheme to illegally finance Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins’ 2020 reelection bid. The FBI believes a Hawaii defense contractor then called Navatek illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro- Collins super PAC and reimbursed donations to Collins’ campaign. Collins helped the contractor secure an $8 million Navy contract before most of the donations took place. What a way to say you’re welcome!

Kathy Lewis is the grassroots candidate the Democratic Party should be yearning for throughout the country. Yet they failed her. #PoliticsDoneRight
On Thursday night The Atlantic published a bombshell story that alleged -- citing four anonymous sources -- that President Donald Trump had repeatedly mocked US soldiers killed in battle and skipped a visit to a veterans' cemetery in France out of concern that rainy conditions would mess up his carefully coiffed hair.The report immediately became a massive story, with Democrats -- including Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden -- rushing to condemn Trump for his alleged behaviour and the White House rallying an aggressive pushback against the article, including the President himself."To think that I would make statements negative to our military when nobody has done what I've done, with the budgets and the military budget," Trump said Thursday night after returning from a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. "We're getting pay raises for the military. It is a disgraceful situation, by a magazine that is a terrible magazine, I don't read it."On Friday morning, Trump took his defense to Twitter. "The Atlantic Magazine is dying, like most magazines, so they make up a fake story in order to gain some relevance," he wrote. "Story already refuted, but this is what we are up against. Just like the Fake Dossier. You fight and and fight, and then people realize it was a total fraud!"National security adviser Robert O'Brien was called in to serve as a character witness for Trump, telling reporters, "You're not going to find anybody who's more sympathetic to their situation than the President." Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News he never heard the President use the language described in the article.Jeffrey Goldberg, who authored The Atlantic piece, stood by his reporting in an appearance on CNN's "New Day" Friday morning."I stand by my reporting," he said. "I have multiple sources telling me this is what happened, and so I stand by it."So, we're left with this dilemma: Goldberg insists the story is true. Trump insists the story is false. Both of those views can't be right.On Saturday, a former senior administration official confirmed to CNN that Trump referred to fallen US service members at the Aisne-Marne cemetery in crude and derogatory terms during the November 2018 trip to France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. Fox News, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Associated Press have also corroborated parts of The Atlantic's reporting.Trump's insistence that he would never say anything disparaging about a military veteran or the military more generally is belied by, well, facts.In 2015, shortly after he had officially entered the 2016 Republican presidential race, Trump said this of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain: "He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured." McCain was shot down and kept captive by the North Vietnamese for more than five years. The wounds he suffered as a result of the torture he endured during his captivity left him unable to raise his arms over his head -- among other maladies -- for the rest of his life.In the wake of Gold Star father Khizr Khan's speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2016 -- in which Khan suggested Trump had never sacrificed anything in life -- the billionaire businessman suggested that Hillary Clinton's speechwriters had actually written the speech and that Khan's wife, who stood silently by her husband, was not allowed to speak. As for Khan's claim that Trump had never sacrificed, the Republican nominee responded this way: "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures."Following the death of US Army Sgt. La David Johnson in Niger in 2017, the slain soldier's wife (and a Florida Democratic congresswoman) said that Trump had told her on a phone call that her husband "knew what he had signed up for." Trump denied the claim.Last fall, Trump referred t...

“Maduro Madness”Venezuela Summary: •Public unrest and systematic dismantling of democracy have lead to massive protests against the current elected President Nicolas Maduro. His oppressive hold on power and suffering of the people have come to a head with opposition figure Juan Gaiado announcing that he is self-recognizing as a the President, which America and other nations swiftly acknowledged. •Is Venezuela socialist? Yes, kind of. Hugo Chavez made the oil companies which fuel the countries economy public and the nation has since had strong public programs. Maduro encountered runaway national problems and applied a strong-man anti-democratic approach with poor economic management. Most experts agree Venezuela’s biggest problem isn’t socialism, its political polarization and destabilization. •What makes this more complicated? Venezuela has oil. The country began the OPEC organization and is the western hemisphere’s Saudi Arabia. But they sell their oil to China, Russia, and other specific non-American interests. America and Venezuela have a long history of our country attempting to overthrow their country’s government because – oil. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/24/world/americas/noticias-venezuela-protests-maduro-guaido.htmlTrish Regan – Fox News BusinessRecap the problem: Florida Democratic party – lead by Rep Debbie Wasserman-Shultz – has made statements indicating they are dumbfounded that Bernie Sanders will not “denounce” current President of Venezeula Nicolas Maduro as a dictator.

Arizona Republican Governor Jan Brewer vetos the bill allowing those with religious objections to refuse service to gay people, saying the proposed law “creates more problems than it purports to solve.” The Suffolk County Judge Joseph Johnson presiding over the case of Justina Pelletier in Boston ruled Monday to put the 15-year-old in foster care. “It's a foster care facility,” Lou Pelletier told TheBlaze, specifying that his daughter will be transfered to Shared Living Collaborative in Merrimac, Mass. New IRS regulations that they believe will silence free speech. The deadline to comment on these proposed regulations is 11:59 p.m. ET Thur., Feb. 27. Florida Democratic congressional candidate, Alex Sink said immigration reform was important at a debate because, without it, it would be difficult for employers to find people to clean hotel rooms and do landscaping. Harvard senior Sandra Korn says that there should be no more free speech because it threatens liberalism. A soldier hid in her car to avoid saluting the flag, and then flaunted it on Instagram. Pfc.
