Last night in Des Moines, the split-screen reality of the GOP primary was on full display. On CNN, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley brutalized each other for two hours during a debate essentially for second place — largely ignoring the man who even while absent from the stage, is running away with the race. Instead, a noticeably subdued former President Donald Trump took to a Fox News-sponsored town hall, where he mostly focused on a general election message. What should we make of it all? Playbook co-authors Rachael Bade and Ryan Lizza sort through what matters, what didn't and where things stand with just a few days left.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is set to present her case to a grand jury this week against former President Trump and others concerning their efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. This could lead to Trump's fourth felony indictment. The former president has been charged in three other cases and has consistently pled not guilty. Willis is reportedly eyeing charges against over a dozen individuals with evidence such as text messages and emails connecting them to a voting system breach in Georgia in early January 2021. Among the potential charges are conspiracy and racketeering. A key element is Trump's audio tape plea to Georgia election officials to "find 11,780 votes," just one more than needed to flip the state in his favor. While Trump and his allies anticipate charges this week, Trump has recently attempted to discredit Willis, labeling her, a Black woman, as a racist. However, this defense strategy likely isn't going to be enough on its own. Geoff Duncan, the former lieutenant governor of Georgia, is set to give closed-door testimony to the grand jury at the Fulton County Courthouse on Tuesday after he was subpoenaed to testify. On CNN on Saturday, Duncan stated, "Let's hear the truth and nothing but the truth about Donald Trump's actions and the surrounding cast of characters around him." He also posted on X, stating: "I can confirm that I have been requested to testify before the Fulton County grand jury on Tuesday. I look forward to answering their questions around the 2020 election. Republicans should never let honesty be mistaken for weakness." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
EPISODE 217: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: As reports swirl, we seem to be on the verge of SOMETHING from Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Grand Jury. It is reportedly to reconvene this week after a month off. And DOJ is reportedly set to meet with Trump's lawyers. And now a new question: would DOJ make at least a token plea deal offer to him? A LOT going on. (7:29) SPECIAL COMMENT: Having learned nothing from anything, Just to convince the RNC to give the network a Republican Presidential Primary debate, CNN is reportedly ready to partner with a far right website - and even have one of its propagandists co-moderate the debate WITH a CNN star ON CNN. And NBC is also prostituting itself to get a shot at a Republican debate, sending Lester Holt to try to talk them into it. And we continue to have fallout from Tim Alberta's profile of CNN CEO Chris Licht in The Atlantic. Actually, it's less fallout and more an autopsy because Licht would have fared better if he'd gone into the Atlantic OCEAN. There is soooo much to discuss, but not too many possibilities as to what might happen next. As Burt Lancaster says to Tony Curtis in "Sweet Smell of Success": "You're dead, son. Get yourself buried." B-Block (35:50) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: "When I took over ‘Meet The Press',” said Chuck Todd on Meet The Press as he announced his own firing FROM Meet The Press, “it was a Sunday show that had a lot of people questioning whether it still could have a place in the modern media space. Well, I think we've answered THAT question and then some.” He's self-aware to the last. And Lauren Boebert caught in a huge lie: she didn't fail to vote on the Debt Ceiling in protest; she just didn't make it in time - and it's on tape. IN SPORTS: the ultimate fan protest in a replica uniform and the Mets with a novel Hall of Fame induction (46:10) WORSTS: Marine LePen DOESN'T prove her French party wasn't associated with the Russians, Elon Musk's lawyers make a court filing that essentially disproves "The Twitter Files;" And a "comedian" goes on NewsMax and makes what she thinks is a joke but is actually a 150-year old racist trope about fried chicken. C-Block (50:40) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Lola in Miami (51:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The day my ability to tolerate Chuck Todd for one more moment snapped like a dry twig during a drought and I could no longer bear to even be in the...same fantasy football league as him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ken and I started this week talking about the CNN town hall with Donald Trump. On CNN's air, Trump repeated his denials of his assault of E. Jean Carroll — denials for which he was ordered (the day before the town hall) to pay a defamation judgment. Carroll has mused about suing him again, and she could, though her main challenge in court would be showing that his fresh denials further harmed her, beyond the damages she's already been awarded compensation for. We also talked about the legal considerations facing CNN or any other network that might interview a person who is likely to make defamatory statements. We talked about George Santos, who appears to be quite enjoying his role as a federal defendant, and about whether you should give a hyped-up press conference explaining why it was okay for you to take the unemployment benefits the government has charged you over (no). And we talked about Nina Jankowicz, former head of the short-lived Disinformation Governance Board at the Department of Homeland Security. That board was dissolved after extensive attacks on Jankowicz in conservative media, and now she's suing Fox News for defamation. Ken and I discussed her uphill legal battle.Visit serioustrouble.show to find a transcript of this episode and to support our work. This is a public episode.

Guest-host Jefferson Smith fills in for Thom Hartmann today. On CNN last night Donald Trump doubled down on his lies in support of the white supremacist haters convicted of violently killing one police officer and sending 140 others to the hospital on January 6th. As long as Trump — or someone who shares his fascistic worldview — heads the Republican Party, this country will continue to be in crisis. Since Trump's arrival on the scene, this cancer has spread. Guests: Prof Brad Snyder - Democratic Justice Felix Frakfurter. Will Bunch, national opinion columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: Last week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that election officials cannot count mail-in ballots that are incorrectly dated. On Monday night, John Fetterman's campaign filed a legal challenge arguing that mail-in ballots should be counted regardless of proper dating—claiming that rejecting ballots is a violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The Philadelphia Inquirer estimates that “tens of thousands” Pennsylvania ballots may be improperly dated. On CNN, host Don Lemon and political commentator Michael Smerconish explained that they sometimes forget what day it is—arguing that mail-in ballots without a date should be counted in Pennsylvania. Tom Szymanski—New Jersey Republican State Committee Executive Director—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Election Day in the Garden State. In Mercer County, NJ, scanning machines aren't working properly—will this impact how long it takes to get final vote tabulations?
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (11/08/2022): 3:05pm- Last week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that election officials cannot count mail-in ballots that are incorrectly dated. On Monday night, John Fetterman's campaign filed a legal challenge arguing that mail-in ballots should be counted regardless of proper dating—claiming that rejecting ballots is a violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The Philadelphia Inquirer estimates that “tens of thousands” Pennsylvania ballots may be improperly dated. 3:30pm- On CNN, host Don Lemon and political commentator Michael Smerconish explained that they sometimes forget what day it is—arguing that mail-in ballots without a date should be counted in Pennsylvania. 3:40pm- Tom Szymanski—New Jersey Republican State Committee Executive Director—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Election Day in the Garden State. In Mercer County, NJ, scanning machines aren't working properly—will this impact how long it takes to get final vote tabulations? 4:05pm- According to FiveThirtyEight forecasting simulations, Republicans have a 59% chance of taking control of the U.S. Senate—with Dr. Mehmet Oz (57%), Hershel Walker (63%), and J.D. Vance (87%) all projected to win their races. But will Hershel Walker's Georgia race against incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock head to a runoff election? 4:25pm- According to Gallup polling, 73% of Republicans believe the COVID-19 pandemic is over—while only 21% of Democrats share that belief. 4:35pm- Jason Snead—Executive Director of the Honest Elections Project—joins the show to discuss his latest editorial on Daily Caller, “Pennsylvania is On the Verge of a Midterm Meltdown.” Snead writes of Pennsylvania elections, “antiquated procedures and weak safeguards continue to leave Pennsylvania's election process vulnerable to delays, confusion, mischief and ponderous litigation that could drag the results out for weeks — or longer.” How long should Pennsylvanians expect to wait before they have a definitive outcome for the U.S. Senate race between Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman? 4:50pm- According to the Tax Foundation's 2023 State Business Tax Climate Index, New Jersey is the worst state in the country for taxes. 5:00pm- CNN political commentator Hilary Rosen stated that she believes Democrat messaging, which emphasized protecting Democracy and failed to consistently address economic concerns, will end up costing the party seats in the House and Senate. 5:10pm – Could the Amish community, which typically abstains from voting, potentially boost Pennsylvania Gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano? FiveThirtyEight forecasting simulations currently indicate that Josh Shapiro has a 97% chance of beating Mastriano. 5:20pm- On Sunday, Philadelphia rallied around the “Chickenman”—a guy who randomly decided to eat an entire rotisserie chicken every day for 40 consecutive days. Hundreds of Philadelphians showed up to an abandoned pier in South Philly to watch history unfold. 5:45pm- Jennifer Stefano—Executive Vice President of the Commonwealth Foundation & Columnist at the Philadelphia Inquirer—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the impact frustrated parents will have on the midterm elections. Stefano notes that Democrat candidates across the state of Pennsylvania refuse to endorse school choice policies, while concurrently sending their own children to expensive private schools. 6:05pm- While speaking in Vandalia, Ohio at a rally for U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance, former President Donald Trump teased a “very big” announcement on November 15th at Mar-a-Lago. Will he be announcing a 2024 presidential run? 6:10pm- Radio host Howard Stern baselessly argued that if Republican candidate Hershel Walker wins a U.S. Senate seat, America will experience another civil war. 6:30pm- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was forced to apologize to her followers after failing to have her “preferred pronouns” featured in her Twitter biography. 6:35pm- White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre warned that Americans may not know the outcome of many major elections for several days after polls close. 6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? + Zeoli's Final Thought
Highlights: “The far left has gone from whining and complaining about what they've been calling voter suppression laws, to now actually accusing Republicans of staging, what they're calling a ‘soft coup' led by President Trump.” “In terms of the accusation of a coup, I think this is more hopeium that Democrats comfort themselves with so they don't have to face the reality that the vast majority of the nation is turning away from their far leftist lunacy.” Timestamps: [01:40] How Florida law enforcement is cracking down on voter fraud [03:50] How the woke left are flipping out over this [06:24] On CNN accusing President Trump of running a shadow government [08:01] On the red wave that is coming and how the left's hysterics are just beginning Resources: Watch how Michael Lush is helping you Replace Your Mortgage at: https://replaceyouruniversity.com/what-we-do/pay-off-your-home?rfsn=6642132.54955b Download Dr. Steve's FREE Patriot Blueprints at https://www.drsteveblueprints.com 1212 Twitter Finally SURRENDERS To Elon Musk as Patriots TAKE OVER Social Media!!!

DeSantis busses illegals to wealthy, liberal enclave of Martha's Vineyard, Abbott sends them to Kamala Harris' VP residence. Dems freak out, but shouldn't sanctuary cities and states welcome these gifts of love? DeSantis: Democrats' virtue signaling is a fraud and indefensible. By opening the border, Biden is exacerbating the fentanyl crisis, which is killing American kids by the thousands. Buck gives the urgent plea he would give to his future teenagers about any pill that they don't know where it came from. Clay points out: "Mexican drug cartels have more control over our southern border than our United States government. Think about that for a minute." On CNN, filmmaker Ken Burns unbelievably compares shipping illegals to Martha's Vineyard to the Holocaust. America's birthright citizenship laws must be changed.Follow Clay & Buck on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/clayandbuckSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democrats need to get with the program. The House and the Senate are theirs to lose if they decide to raise the sails and catch the wind at their backs. Dem strategist on winning: GOP giving gifts. Message Republican Party as wacko party & then: Democracy for America's CEO Yvette Simpson appeared on This Week and held her own as she neutralized naysayers with the message Democrats must relay. Reporter: The more Trump wins the more Republicans are poised to lose!: The media is starting to get a bit bolder with their prediction in favor of Democrats. ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl acknowledged that a winning Trump candidate is a losing GOP. On CNN, Sens. Blumenthal (D) & Graham (R) was a disaster for Democrats. Here's what wasn't said: Unfortunately for Democrats, they are allowing Republicans to define a fairly good bill on GOP fraudulent terms instead of the good it will do. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support
On CNN this week, Biden aide Brian Deese was asked to respond to “those families that say, 'listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years?'" Deese responded: "This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm." But not everyone is on board. Speaking to the Washington Post, Rep. Ro Khanna — who was voted for every pro-proxy war measure so far — says that the Ukraine conflict is "wreaking havoc on the American economy and the global economy." He also calls for a "plan on the diplomatic front." Download the Callin app for iOS and Android to listen to this podcast live, call in, and more! Also available at callin.com
John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare with the Madison Policy Forum, has just returned from Ukraine where strategies and tactics that he developed as a combat soldier in the U.S. Army, are being used by the Ukrainian military against Russian invaders.On the Lean to the Left podcast, Spencer says those tactics helped defeat Russia's attempt to capture Kiev and topple the Ukrainian government, and he discusses the lack of motivation of Russian soldiers who are reluctant to fight, even shooting themselves in the foot and slicing their vehicle tires to avoid combat.The author of the new book, “Connected Soldiers: Life, Leadership, and Social Connections in Modern War,” Spencer has provided the Ukrainian military with a step-by-step guide for succeeding in urban combat. The first step, he says, is "don't get killed." His book is available July 1, and his second book, “Understanding Urban Warfare,” will be available in September.Spencer is an internationally recognized expert and advisor on urban warfare and other military related topics. He served over 25 years in the active Army, including two combat deployments to Iraq as both an Infantry Platoon Leader and Company commander.In this episode, Spencer discusses how internet connectivity is affecting soldiers who are away from home facing combat. It's an insider's view of how the ability to use FaceTime and other digital resources to stay connected with family back home can interfere with unit cohesion and morale.Here are questions Spencer discusses in this episode:1. You're a recognized expert in urban warfare. Is that why you were in Ukraine? Are you working as an advisor there? 2. You've published a “mini-manual for the urban defender.” It's published in the Ukrainian language…I presume it's come in handy there?3. On CNN, you said that the use of many layers of barriers being used by the Ukranian forces in their cities “can hold off the best army in the world, and Russia's not the best.” Explain what you were talking about.4. You also told Ali Velshi that “the will to fight is everything.” How is that coming into play in Ukraine?5. You said that even a generally unprofessional force like the Ukrainian fighters “can turn every street into a meat grinder” for Russian troops who are less motivated, just by following a few simple steps. What are those steps?6. You told Velshi in March, “It's going to be really bad for Russia. It's going to be a bloodbath.” Do you still believe that?7. Let's talk about “Connected Soldiers,” your new book. Gen. David Petraeus, former commander of the surge in Iraq, U.S. Central Command, and coalition forces in Afghanistan, said this about it:"Connected Soldiers provides a wonderfully stimulating, thoughtful, and thought-provoking examination of how the increase in connectivity between those on the frontlines and those on the home front affects the all-important bonds between our soldiers carrying out tough missions overseas.”Please explain.8. On your website, you said that in 2003 when as a second lieutenant you parachuted into Iraq leading a platoon of infantry soldiers into battle, that you learned how important unit cohesion was to survival, both physically and mentally. You said cohesion developed between soldiers when they spent downtime together and shared experiences.But when you returned to Iraq five years later, you found that rather than bonding and discussing trauma as a group, soldiers spent downtime separately, on computers, communicating with family back home. You began to believe that the internet was a threat to unit cohesion. But what happened when you returned home, and your wife was deployed?How does your book address all of this? 9. Do the same issues apply to non-military families in their daily lives? People are so busy these days…both parents working, sometimes on shifts where they barely see each other. How can they cope?Listen to the interview:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

Those days are gone”“What we're finding here with this school administration, in my view, has absolutely nothing to do with a very popular Florida law that pertains only to Kingarden to third graders. What we have going on here are administrators recognizing that parents are actively engaged in their kids' education like they haven't been in quite some time. And parents right now have zero tolerance for anything even resembling wokeness in the classroom.” “When you have activist parents breathing down your neck, inevitably, School Boards, as well as corporate boards, are going to drop the woke fad, if they want to keep their jobs, that is.” Timestamps: [02:35] How a woke Cape Coral art instructor was fired[04:13] On tweets supporting the firing of this woke teacher[07:43] On CNN's article - how they're clueless that wokeism is imploding[11:02] Wokeness as the real problem here and how parents want nothing more to do with itResources: Get your own MyPillow here.

Highlights: “When was the last time a political party and their shameless surrogates in the mainstream media were actively attempting to get rid of both their president and their vice-president? That's how bad it is right now for the Democrats; that's exactly what's going on right now as we speak.”“The ten thousand dollar question is: now that the Democrat hoax over Bumblin's Biden has been so obviously exposed to the American population, why would they trust anything to the Democrats at this point?”“The Democrats are increasingly convinced that all they have to do is dump Biden and all their problems in effect go away! Except for one; and that, of course, is Kamala Harris.”“The mainstream media and the Democrat Party combined forces to get rid of President Trump and put in, as it turns out, a cognitively degenerate shell who is quickly overseeing one of the most dramatic economic, cultural, and political implosions our nation has witnessed in recent memory. The Democrats know that the upcoming midterms are increasingly becoming their day of reckoning for such a hoax, and they're doing everything they possibly can to distance themselves from it.”Timestamps: [02:15] How Democrats are preparing to get rid of Biden [05:45] How they are plotting to remove Kamala too[08:06] On the imploding poll numbers of both Biden and Harris [09:12] On CNN becoming a joke and why the day of reckoning for the Democrats is indeed at hand Resources: It's time to CHANGE AMERICA and Here's YOUR OPPORTUNITY To Do Just That! https://change.turleytalks.com/Ep. 759 Study꞉ 56% of White Liberal Women Have a Mental Disorder!!!PatriotSwitch.comGet your own MyPillow here.

Wednesday on Political Rewind: Despite enormous speculation Stacey Abrams intends to run for Georgia governor in 2022, she has so far kept quiet on her political plans. During a sold-out event this week in San Antonio, Abrams kicked off a national tour. During the event she again avoided any mention of the governor's race. Her tour will take her to dozens of cities. Meanwhile, Brad Raffensperger is taking the first steps in a virtual tour to begin promoting his new book on how he fought former President Trump's heated efforts to have Georgia's election results overturned. On CNN this week, he said he think the former president does know he lost the election, despite Trump's lies about the outcome. Panelists: Greg Bluestein — Political reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Dr. Karen Owen — Political science professor, University of West Georgia
Highlights: “The fallout from the fall of Kabul to the Taliban continues and it appears that the worst casualty in all this may indeed be Bumblin' Biden; his presidency is utterly imploding.”“The latest Trafalgar poll shows that 70% of likely voters (69.3%) overwhelmingly disapproved of Biden's handling of the pullout in Afghanistan.”“This leftist activist disguised as journalists in CNN actually points to both Afghanistan and our Southern Border as indicative of a total and complete lost control by the Biden administration. There's no sense whatsoever that Bumblin' Biden has a clue on how to handle or prevent potential crises around the world.”“Obviously, it's not just Biden who has a competence crisis; it's the mainstream media, it's the whole permanent political class, our globalist elites, our political and economic oligarchs, they're all suffering from a massive and very well deserved crisis of competence.”“Kamala wants nothing to do with this Kabul implosion because she's obviously seeing her opportunity here. Joe's going down so now it's my moment to shine, so ‘you ain't pinning this sh*t' on me.”“It does appear that along with the fall of Kabul we're actually seeing the fall of Sleepy Joe himself.”Timestamps: [01:44] Biden's poll and how his approval hits lowest point even before Kabul fell[03:30] On CNN's headline - ‘Crisis of competence facing Joe Biden' [04:40] How the mainstream Marxist media tried to gaslight Biden's speech on the fall of Afghanistan[05:52] How a guest in MSNBC, an Afghanistan veteran, attack Biden's speech[09:15] Staffers openly fighting in White House and how Kamala refused to comment on Afghanistan's collapse[11:10] How the Republicans are the early favorites to take back the House in 2022 Resources: Ep. 603 PATRIOT Protestors CRUSH Antifa in Los Angeles!!!Join our ARMY!!

Highlights: “The textbook case study for the death of the mainstream media can actually be found in none other than the most distrusted name in news and that, of course, is CNN.” “CNN viewership has been found to drop 30% whenever Acosta is on air.”“Obviously CNN is faltering big time and as we saw with some of the headlines earlier on, what's happening to CNN, in particular, is happening to the mainstream media as a whole.” "The business model for any news media organization is based on trust. The viewer must trust the organization to be a reliable mediator of information. And when globalist corporations like CNN so obviously peddle their left-wing propaganda while at the same time they claim to be totally biased and objective, trust implodes.”Timestamps: [02:30] More and more Americans losing trust in mainstream media[04:24] CNN ratings plummet during Jim Acosta’s and Brian Stelter’s shows[08:00] On CNN’s overall viewership decline [09:18] What is happening to CNN is happening to the mainstream media[10:08] How CNN’s new anchor Brianna Keilar criticized Fox NewsResources: Limited Time Offer!

On CNN over the weekend, Dr. Anthony Fauci brought up some frightening numbers, including that the country can expect 100,000-200,000 deaths due to COVID-19. Proportionally, that would mean between 3,000-6,000 people would die in North Carolina.
Joe Biden scored a thundering victory in South Carolina's Democratic primary on Saturday, riding a wave of African American support and ending progressive rival Bernie Sanders' winning streak.Biden's win came at a do-or-die moment in his 2020 bid as the moderate Democrat bounced back from underwhelming performances in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. The race now pivots immediately to a new phase when 14 "Super Tuesday" states take the campaign nationwide early next week."We are very much alive," Biden declared at an exuberant post-election rally. "For all of you who have been knocked down, counted out, left behind -- this is your campaign."Sanders claimed second place, though his loss gave a momentary respite to anxious establishment Democrats who feared that the self-described democratic socialist would finish February with four consecutive top finishes.Billionaire activist Tom Steyer took third place, his best showing of the campaign, but he formally suspended his campaign. He spent more $24 million on television advertising in South Carolina -- more than all of his rivals combined -- but never found a clear lane in the crowded contest.Seven candidates remain in the Democrats' quest to find the strongest possible nominee to take on President Donald Trump in November.Biden's allies almost immediately cast the South Carolina victory as proof that he should stand as the clear alternative to Sanders.The South Carolina primary was the first major test of the candidates' appeal among black voters. And while it gave the 77-year-old Biden a win when he most needed it, he must still prove that he has the financial and organizational resources to dramatically expand his campaign in the next 72 hours. He will also be under pressure to rely on his decades-long relationships with party leaders to create a new sense of inevitability around his candidacy.The Associated Press declared Biden the winner just after the polls closed in South Carolina. The AP based the call on data from AP VoteCast, a survey of the electorate conducted for the AP by NORC at the University of Chicago. The survey showed a convincing win for Biden.Even before news of Biden's win was declared, Mike Bloomberg announced his own plan to deliver a three-minute prime-time address Sunday night on two television networks. He didn't say how much he paid for the air time, which is unprecedented in recent decades.Bloomberg's campaign privately acknowledged that Biden was likely to get a bump in momentum out of his South Carolina win, but they still believe Bloomberg can win in a handful of states that vote on Super Tuesday, including Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Virginia and North Carolina.And Sanders was already peeking ahead to Super Tuesday as well, betting he can amass an insurmountable delegate lead at that point. After two consecutive victories and a tie for the lead in Iowa, the 78-year-old Vermont senator's confidence is surging.Sanders congratulated Biden on his first win and said it was nothing for his own supporters to worry about."Tonight, we did not win in South Carolina. That will not be the only defeat. A lot of states in this country. Nobody wins them all," he told a cheering crowd in Virginia, one of 14 states to vote next week. "Now we enter Super Tuesday."Moments after Biden's victory was confirmed, former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe formally endorsed the former vice president and encouraged the Democratic Party's moderate wing to unite behind him. On CNN, he called on several candidates to get out of the race — "not after Tuesday, but tomorrow."Biden needs help.Compared to his rivals, he's barely running any television advertising in Super Tuesday states. And both Sanders and Bloomberg have many more staff and volunteers.With few other options, Biden's team hopes to lean on his growing team of high-profile endorsers, including McAuliffe, to tap their own political networks and help spread his message in the media.The Democrats'...
Watershed Moment: The New York Times defends the "eliminationist" anti-white rhetoric of new Editorial Board member Sarah Jeong. We marvel at the spectacle of Liberals circling the wagons in support of Jeong's blatantly racist twitter history. On CNN, Symone Sanders says it is simply not possible for ethnic minorities to be "racist" against white people because racism requires "prejudice plus power." We explore the post-modern, post-Marxist "power equations" the Left is using to justify what Andrew Sullivan calls its "incendiary, satisfying bigotry." If it's all about power these days, what room can be left for principle? Maybe there can be no double-standards if there are no actual standards. A helpful clarification of the entire "politically correct" enterprise. Perhaps the Left's view of the Constitution as "obstacle" now begins to make more sense.
