The Democratic Party is now confronted with a dilemma. Its two possible presidential nominees are perhaps equally unpalatable, though for different reasons. Socialist Bernie Sanders is, the establishment believes from a practical standpoint, ideologically unfit; Joe Biden is a garrulous gaffe machine who is mentally unfit. Yet what if, contrary to popular belief, neither man ends up being the nominee? There are other possibilities.

If prominent journalists can’t do simple math, how can they do complex political science? Some may thus wonder after MSNBC host Brian Williams and New York Times editor Mara Gay claimed on live television that ex-presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg’s $500 million in ad buys equates to $1 million per American. In reality, it only amounts to enough to buy a cup of coffee (and not at Starbucks, either).
“Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. population is 327 million,” said Williams, quoting a tweet by journalist Mekita Rivas on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour Thursday night. “He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over, [sic] I feel like a $1 million check would be life-changing for people. Yet he wasted it all on ads and STILL LOST.”
“It’s an incredible way of putting it,” Williams summed up, addressing Gay, whom he was interviewing.
“It’s an incredible way of putting it. It’s true,” Gay responded. “It’s disturbing.”
Incredibly and disturbingly stupid, maybe. In reality, the United States’s current population of approximately 331 million people, divided into $500 million, is about $1.51 per person (not counting illegal aliens).

Sixty years ago we had the film Where the Boys Are. Now some people aren’t sure what the boys are, and the latest example is a California bill that would punish large stores for maintaining separate boys’ and girls’ departments.
Designated AB 2826, the legislation’s header reads “Introduced by Assembly Member Low,” which doesn’t pertain to IQ but Silicon Valley’s Democrat politician Evan Low. Mandating “Gender neutral retail departments,” the bill reads, in part, that it requires….

Left for politically dead not long ago, ex-vice president Joe Biden has risen like a Phoenix to sweep 10 Super Tuesday states in the race for the Democratic nomination. Erstwhile frontrunner Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) went from the wind at his back to political heart attack, as late-deciding voters made the difference by breaking largely for Biden. Meanwhile, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) had a disastrous night — finishing third in her home state — while billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s similarly poor showing caused him to exit the race.

If you could transport yourself back to the Middle Ages and tell people that living things too small to see can cause disease, they’d think you were crazy. Seeing is believing and, quite often, not seeing is not believing. Tragically, this phenomenon is also operative with the virus in our political system called Big Tech bias, which is, unseen by most and with no paper trail, killing Republican electoral chances and remaking our nation.
What if I told you that Big Tech could have been responsible for President Trump’s impeachment? What about the credible expert who warns that Big Tech can shift up to 15 million votes in November? Note here that over the last eight elections and 32 years, no president has won by more than 9.5 million votes. Shifting 15 million is easily enough to turn most any modern election.
And what if it can be said with certitude that Big Tech will win numerous races for Democrats this fall? Do I have your attention yet? Are you skeptical? Well, I’m going to explain this in a way you haven’t heard before.

Chris Matthews’ “real sin, of course, was being old and unfashionable,” remarked Fox News host Tucker Carlson yesterday. If Carlson had added “white” and “male,” his statement could have been complete — but unfashionable itself.
MSNBC personality Matthews stunned all and sundry Monday evening when he announced on air (video below) his retirement from the network and his show Hardball, which he’d hosted for 25 years. He then left the studio during a commercial break, and fellow MSNBC journalist Steve Kornacki filled in for the remainder of the Hardball episode.

“In San Francisco in the 1970s and 1980s, it was routine to see men from China spit in the streets, blow their noses in their fingers and then wipe their hands on anything nearby, and generally violate American hygienic norms,” writes commentator Andrea Widburg. ”Outside the tourist zones, Chinatown’s restaurants and grocery stores also suggested resistance to American hygiene.” This is unsettling news that, with the current situation, is good news — it explains why the coronavirus may not be as severe in the United States as in China.
Hygiene matters because the spread of all communicable disease is behaviorally influenced. Thus does culture matter because different cultures have different hygienic standards. Just consider how — with California’s leftist culture creating via policy a Third World environment in which homelessness is institutionalized and rats and fecal matter on sidewalks are rife — medieval diseases such as typhus and tuberculosis are reemerging.
While it’s not politically correct to discuss (the Truth often isn’t), China’s culture — and its culture of corruption — likely played a large role in coronavirus’s emergence and spread.

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has warned of a war between Islam and Christianity and called Europe a “sick man,” is currently making it a bit sicker: In accordance with a longstanding threat, he’s allowing Muslim migrants unimpeded access to the continent for 72 hours.

A new Karl Marx can come along shouting “Workers of the world, unite!” but Flippy the burger chef will hear none of it. An employee even illegal aliens can’t compete with, he does his job dutifully, never goes home, doesn’t get sick or take bathroom breaks and won’t unionize — and can be had for $3 an hour. And if you have a beef with his undercutting you, he doesn’t care. Flippy, you see, is a robot.

As the coronavirus spreads, our pseudo-elites are very concerned — that the crisis could harm the “diversity” agenda.
That blame for the virus could be put on some country or group.
And that too many of those trying to keep us safe are white.
Taking an old rhyme and adding a new twist, “Better red and dead,” such worries actually have been expressed by leftists.
