With Joe Biden regaining his position as the Democratic front runner, the scrutiny of him by the right has renewed. When Biden looked like the helpless, distant finisher he was a few weeks ago, it wasn’t worth the energy. Things have changed in a hurry, though. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders is still mumbling about billionaires, signaling that he’s not serious about doing what it takes to win the race.
While Biden may represent a larger threat to Trump in a general election, he’s still a ripe target for political ridicule and the sights are starting to turn on one specific thing. Namely, the former Vice President’s mental health.
President Trump said he had no plans to scale back his campaign rallies and was not concerned about the new coronavirus reaching Washington, D.C.
Speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago, ahead of a working dinner with Brazilian President Jair Bolsanaro, he was asked whether the emergence of a case at last month's Conservative Political Action Conference would force him to change his mind on holding big campaign events.
"We'll hold tremendous rallies," he said.
Ben Carson argued during a congressional hearing this week that the rights of transgender individuals in federally funded homeless shelters do not override the rights of abused women.
The secretary of Housing and Urban Development was speaking during a congressional hearing Wednesday, where Democratic Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley challenged HUD’s stance that federally funded homeless shelters have the right to install bathrooms and sleep areas based on biological sex.
Quigley argued that HUD was essentially saying "that if someone doesn't like someone else in that shelter, for whatever reasons, that you can allow discrimination against those people."

Having Such a Low Per Capita Infection Rate
of Coronavirus replies
There are ten countries that have more than 100 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, but the United States has the smallest infection rate per capita of all of them by a significant margin.
According to figures provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), the ten countries with 100 or more cases, as of Thursday, are as follows: [snip] Taking population into account, the United States has a per capita infection rate of 0.0000388 percent. The next highest per capita infection rate is Japan's, which, at 0.0002526 percent, is eight times higher than the United States' rate. South Korea and China have the highest per capita infection rates
America's strong job growth is surprising even the experts. They predicted that there would be 175,000 new jobs in February. Instead, the economy created 273,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent.
What's more, December and January's job numbers were adjusted upward by 243,000. And if you can stand it, here's more.
CNBC:
The previous two months’ estimates were revised higher by a total of 85,000. December moved up from 147,000 to 184,000, while January went from 225,000 to 273,000. Those revisions brought the three-month average up to a robust 243,000 while the average monthly gain in 2019 was 178,000.

Goose Gossage was on the phone talking baseball, as he will be Monday night at a Yankees-Red Sox rivalry reunion event at Clearwater’s Capitol Theatre.
Talking about when baseball was a game, the “most awesome game,’’ back when he was dominating in the 1970s and ‘80s, relishing his time in pinstripes, pegging the 1978 one-game, Bucky F-ing Dent, playoff in Boston as the ultimate highlight.
And talking about how it’s all so different now. “I don’t even watch the game anymore,’’ Gossage said. “It breaks my heart that I can’t sit down and watch nine innings of baseball because it’s not the game I was brought up playing
It's obvious to see now after witnessing the specious and politically manufactured attacks on Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh, but at the same time that was going on–2018–then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens—a retired Navy SEAL badass whose first political office was governor—had admitted to an affair. It was easy to think that maybe he was out 'over his skis' and had gotten caught up in some tawdry affair.
But Greitens had already confessed his affair with his hairdresser to his wife and family. He'd already come clean, but the new chief prosecutor, one of leftist billionaire George Soros's hand-picked candidates in his District Attorney Project,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has begun 24-hour daily surveillance operations near the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants in sanctuary cities across the country, according to an exclusive New York Times report. A senior official with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told reporters in February that ICE would be deploying Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers to “enhance integrity of the immigration system, protect public safety, and strengthen our national security.”

He had just seven days. “I was hit with a really deep fear,” McCoy, 30, recalled, even though he couldn’t think of anything he’d done wrong. He had an Android phone, which was linked to his Google account, and,

OLYMPIA — A bill to prohibit discrimination in Washington based on hair texture, specifically targeting hairstyles traditionally worn by Black people, is awaiting the Gov. Jay Inslee’s signature.
House Bill 2602 would amend the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) so that race includes “traits historically associated or perceived to be associated with race,” specifically citing hairstyles including Afros, braids, locs and twists.

Joe Biden’s campaign staffers have accused Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) of lying about Biden’s voting record with the LGBTQ community. This followed Sanders’ recent claim that Biden supported banning openly gay Americans from serving in the military under the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.(Tweet/Video) Despite this claim, Biden’s press secretary confirmed he has said on record that he didn’t have an issue with LGBTQ military service members. The staffer added that Biden also voted to strike so-called anti-gay language from the 1993 Defense Authorization Bill.

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's campaign for president was doomed from the get-go. Not only did he jump into the race later than the other 2020 Democratic candidates, but his campaign decided to skip the Iowa Caucuses, New Hampshire Primary, Nevada Caucuses and South Carolina Primary. Instead, Bloomberg's team made a conscious decision to focus on Super Tuesday, the day when the most delegates were up for grabs. Despite spending more than $500 million dollars on an aggressive ad campaign, the mayor's results were abysmal. He won American Samoa, which garnered a whopping five delegates. The remaining delegate from the territory went to Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI).

Fake News CNN dredged up old false allegations against Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday and dragged out six wrestlers who claim the Ohio lawmaker knew about an abusive OSU doctor.
The original hit job from the swamp goes back to July of 2018.
The swamp unleashed a smear campaign on Jordan in July of 2018, accusing him of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse as Ohio State wrestling coach.
The law firm handling this case was none other than Perkins Coie; the same law firm that represented Hillary Clinton’s campaign and paid for the fake Russia dossier.
Worcester, Mass.—A medical student from China who U.S. authorities say tried to smuggle cancer research material out of the country has been freed on $100,000 bond over the objections of federal prosecutors. Zaosong Zheng, 30, walked out of U.S. District Court in Worcester, Massachusetts on Friday but will remain under GPS-monitored house arrest, The Telegram & Gazette reported. His passport has also been confiscated. Zheng was arrested in December at Logan International Airport in Boston with 21 vials of cancer cells in a suitcase he was taking to China, authorities said.(Snip) Prosecutors argue that he is a flight risk and may be working with the Chinese government,
Five teens have been charged in connection with the vicious mob attack of a 15-year-old girl on a Brooklyn sidewalk, police said Saturday.
The boys turned themselves in to police at the 77th Precinct in Crown Heights after the caught-on-camera beatdown showed a group of two dozen youths savagely attacking the girl and — stealing her Air Jordan kicks to boot.
The victim was walking on Utica Avenue near Sterling Place Thursday afternoon when a pack of teens descended on her, punching and kicking her repeatedly in the head as she lay helplessly on the pavement, wild video shows.
Among the most notable voters who abandoned Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Super Tuesday were Native Americans.
Warren spent decades claiming she was “part Cherokee and part Delaware” — even taking a disastrous DNA test to try to prove it. She was ultimately forced to apologize and admit the claim was bogus, as President Trump mocked her as “Pocahontas.”
“I think that her claim and digging in her heels and the [DNA test] did hurt her,” Simon Moya-Smith, a 36-year-old Native American activist, told The Post. “That’s why I voted for Bernie on Super Tuesday, and I didn’t vote for her.”

A behemoth deer charged a French hunter as he tried to shoot it, ripping open the guy’s face and landing him in the hospital with 50 stitches, according to a report.
“It actually took half my face off,” the hunter, Vincent Saubion, told the UK Metro.
The 36-year-old had to be raced by helicopter to a team of surgeons after the 330-pound animal he was stalking in southwest France stormed him, according to the outlet.
The deer tore a chunk of skin off Saubion’s mug, under his cheek and eye — causing him to “feel drunk” from the impact and amount of blood loss, he said.
The Coronavirus has panicked Americans across the country. Places like Costco and Walmart and being wiped out of disinfectant wipes, paper towels and toilet paper. As the hysteria continues to grow, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) decided to debunk a number of claims that are being perpetrated by both Democrats and the mainstream media. [Tweets]
One of the ads failed 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg ran was about the Trump administration. In the ad, he claimed the Trump administration cut funding from the Center for Disease Control.

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Washington state topped 100 on Saturday, including 16 deaths. The Washington State Department of Health announced more than 20 new cases Saturday, saying a total of 102 people in the state have tested positive for the novel coronavirus. That figure did not include the first case in Kittitas County, which was also reported Saturday.

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Saturday received a disgusting note on her car while she and her husband went grocery shopping. "Rot in hell fascist pig," the note read.
Stefanik shared a picture of the note on Twitter and asked for her Democratic opponent, Tedra Cobb, to condemn the "sad hatred." [Tweet]
Cobb replied, but instead of simply condemning what was said, she wanted Stefanik to agree to no "name-calling" throughout the course of the campaign.
ORLANDO, Fla. - If your shopping trip to Costco includes stopping by all the free sample stations to fill up on goodies, it won't be happening for awhile.Costco stores, including those in Central Florida, are suspending free samples over safety concerns surrounding the coronavirus.It was not immediately known if all stores in the U.S. have pulled samples. No timeline was given as to when the suspension would end. An employee told FOX 35 that the ban is in effect "until further notice."With fears of the coronavirus heightening, some shoppers in recent weeks voiced concerns over whether the warehouse should continue the practice of handing out the little snacks.
The deliberate panic created over the coronavirus is not victimless. Far from it.
When the radioactive dust settles from this orchestrated panic-strategy, potentially hundreds of billions will have been lost, thousands of businesses closed, and millions of employees fired.
When the coronavirus first reared its ugly head, many in the media instantly saw it as a cheap and easy way to increase clicks, newspaper sales, viewers, listeners, and most especially Ad revenue.
In the guise of “informing the public,” they intended to run scare headlines and stories to spike attention to their sites. And run them, they did.

On February 27, 2020, I attended a White House Roundtable discussion that included other black influencers and leaders. The meeting concluded in prayer which I was honored to lead.
Following this rare opportunity came the black leftists’ ad hominem attacks to bully or dictate black thought in America and dampen support for the president. This is a hard task on both scores and they now know it. This president has demonstrably changed the lives of all Americans with record low unemployment created by 6.7 million new jobs so far. President Trump resuscitated our HBCUs by approving multi-year funding of $250 million per year.

Major crimes soared in February in New York City, and New York Police Department (NYPD) officials blame one change that was implemented for the uptick: bail reform. The NYPD stated in a press release, “Criminal justice reforms serve as a significant reason New York City has seen this uptick in crime.” According to the NYPD, compared to February 2019, major crimes grew 22.5%; in addition, the city suffered a 7.1% increase in shootings.

Glaude wondered if the financial community will finally stop supporting President Trump since the stock market was volatile this week amid the coronavirus epidemic.

Saul Alinsky may have written his Rules for Radicals to give leftists an advantage in the battle for America's soul, but that doesn't mean that the rules aren't tactically wise. On Friday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) decided to put into play several of those rules when it asked to have Sen. Chuck Schumer "red-flagged" as a potentially dangerous person.
GOA's request focuses on the fact that, on Wednesday, while speaking to protesters at a Planned Parenthood rally outside of the Supreme Court, Schumer sent a direct message to Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh:
For those who seek to panic the public into handing control of all economic activity to the state, the prospect of rising sea levels inundating coastal cities has been the most useful tool. By propagating the theory that your SUV, air-conditioning, and jet travel will drown New York and Miami, and submerge Pacific islands out of existence, the warmists plan to extract trillions of dollars from advanced economies and distribute them to cronies making solar cells, electric cars, windmills, and other expensive substitutes, and to the rulers of third-world countries alleged to be devastated (with "administrative costs" sticking to the fingers of the bureaucrats, of course).
Within a mere week, and apparently magically, the Democrat presidential primary race is down to two really old white guys (although a part-Samoan woman is still hanging on for some unknown reason since she hasn’t got a chance in hell). Except I don’t believe in magic – or coincidence, for that matter – when it comes to politics. Everything happens for a reason and, in the case of Democrats in particular, for personal or party gain (or both). Democrat operatives have been bleating the conventional wisdom throughout the Democrat-media echo chamber that Biden has “pulled off one of the most spectacular turn-arounds in presidential primary history,”

President Donald Trump is known for a lot of things, but being coy is not one of them.
While speaking to the press at the White House on Friday morning, Trump briefly touched on the topic of Elizabeth Warren’s shocking exit from the 2020 Democratic presidential race and dismissed the notion that her failure to clinch the nomination had anything to do with her gender.
“I think lack of talent was her problem. She had a tremendous lack of talent,” the president explained. “She was a good debater, she destroyed Mike Bloomberg very quickly like it was nothing, it was easy for her. But people don’t like her.
Dramatic pictures and video are emerging of fires raging along the border between Greece and Turkey, as migrants — aided and even armed by the Turks, according to the Greeks — continue their efforts to force their way in.

That reality became clear in an exchange with Justice Kavanaugh about the Louisiana law under review in June Medical Serv. v. Russo, Sec. LA Dep’t of Health. That law requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.
In the days before the tolerant Left wanted Republicans and populists re-educated and/or eradicated, a moderate Democratic friend of mine who held a deep-blue district was engaged in a hotly contested primary against a far-Left opponent. Empathizing, I said, “I know there’s nothing I can do, but . . . ”“There is,” she smiled. “Endorse my opponent.” The political immoral of the story? Sometimes politicians publicly support candidates to help make sure they lose.

Donations nosedived after an Oct. 15 debate, when Warren was bombarded by her rivals.

In a 2015 video Microsoft's Joseph Sirosh described the advantages of wiring up a herd of cows to the cloud application via a motion sensor. One of the farmer's problems is determining when a cow is in estrus so it can be artificially inseminated during the short period it is fertile. Motion sensors can pick up the abnormal restlessness of cows in heat with 95% accuracy leading to immense benefits for the Japanese farmers who implemented the system of connected cows.

Under those feet is a foundation of Biblical wisdom and a knowledge of history that taught the founders what worked and what didn’t.

February’s jobs report “smashed expectations.” That’s how one news site described the latest monthly employment numbers out of the Commerce Department, which showed the economy created 273,000 jobs last month. Smashing expectations has become a regular feature of the Trump economy. Anyone care to guess why?
Based on the consensus forecast of economists, the first two months of this year should have seen a total of 335,000 jobs created. The actual number was 63% higher: 546,000.
For the past four months, job growth has averaged 248,000, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised several previous months’ gains sharply upward. In
March 2020 marks the 10th anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare. In its first decade, ObamaCare has failed to solve many of the health care problems it was supposed to address. Even worse, it has compounded many of the issues it was meant to fix — the law of unintended consequences in action.
First, then-candidate Barack Obama said his namesake act would “cut the cost of a typical family’s premiums by up to $2,500 a year.”
In reality, the opposite has occurred. According to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), “premiums have doubled for individual health insurance plans since 2013,
He told his supporters during one presidential campaign that this nation’s wealth “was stolen from its citizens by the evil capitalists and the evil corporations.” He assured them that once he was elected, he would end corruption in the current political system, eradicate poverty, strengthen democracy, and return the power back to the people.
His name was Hugo Chavez, and those were his campaign promises in 1998. He became president of Venezuela in 1999 and remained in power until 2013, when he lost his battle to cancer and died in office.
Why bring up Chavez now? The more I listen to Sen. Bernie Sanders’s talks and analyze his policies,
Herewith, a good example of why the Democratic Party is stuck in its current mode.
“Mike Bloomberg spent enough on his campaign to give every American $1 million.” @BWilliams on @11thHour @MSNBC pic.twitter.com/iBsWvqEIHf

Obviously, the math here is spectacularly off. If Michael Bloomberg had divided the money he spent on his presidential run evenly among Americans, we would each have got $1.53, not $1 million. For Bloomberg to give $1 million to each American, he would have to be worth $327 trillion (in cash), which, for context,
Campbell Soup CEO Mark Clouse said Wednesday that the company is increasing soup production in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
“We made the decision last week to up production in certain areas where we’re using a little bit the analogy of weather or natural disasters,” Clouse said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.” “Where do we see demand coming in a greater rate? And we’ve upped that level of production to be able to maximize our inventory to be prepared for whatever unfolds here.”
Consumers, particularly those closest to virus clusters, have been stockpiling canned soup and other shelf-stable foods as more cases of the disease are reported in the U.S.
George Soros and other liberal billionaires are pushing large sums of cash into Chicago to back the far-left prosecutor whose office dropped charges against Jussie Smollett, the actor who staged a "hate crime" he attributed to Trump supporters.
The reelection efforts of Kim Foxx, state's attorney for Cook County, Ill., received a boost from the Illinois Justice & Public Safety PAC. The committee, founded to support Foxx, has spent six figures on media productions and direct mail backing Foxx's candidacy, state records show, making it Foxx's largest backer so far. The PAC received its entire $2 million budget from a group created and funded by Soros.
Was it all that long ago that the nation was told that Brett M. Kavanaugh was unacceptable for the United States Supreme Court based on a perjurer’s allegations? The allegations against him were horrible lies and defamations, but the Democrats pulled out their Robert Bork/Clarence Thomas character-assassination playbook anyway. One liar spoke in a fry about how she had to put a second front door into her million-dollar house in her exclusive neighborhood because of Kavanaugh-related phobias. Then we found out the extra door was installed to bypass zoning restrictions. She said she no longer could fly, so could not attend a Washington, D.C. hearing. Only we soon after discovered
Stress, they say, is a killer. So let’s take a moment to feel sorry for Bill Clinton, who now claims he took advantage of Monica Lewinsky to “manage my anxieties” while president.
Bill being Bill, there will be no real apology coming, just some typical and expected minimizing.
“But whatever,” he says. “What I did was bad, but it wasn’t like — how can I think about the most stupid thing I could do and do it.”
This is from a new documentary on Hillary, a for-hire job meant to canonize her and the would-be Clinton dynasty.
And in typical Clinton fashion, they refuse to take the memo: Post-#MeToo, Bill is forever a liability.
The daughter who has accused Woody Allen of molesting her decades ago is “in awe and so very grateful” to protesting staffers of the publisher set to put out the Oscar-winning director’s now canceled memoir.
Just over an hour after Hachette Book Group announced it had axed Allen’s April 7 set “Apropos of Nothing” book following a March 5 employee walkout, Dylan Farrow took to social media with a heartfelt reaction:(Snip for tweet) The sudden move Friday by HBG also follows scathing assertions by Dylan’s brother Ronan Farrow that he would no longer work with the company
Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential candidacy ultimately failed because voters saw right through her.
Warren’s career, as I have detailed, has been built on a series of cons dating back to her time as an academic peddling dubious medical bankruptcy research. In the run-up to her 2020 campaign, she attempted to lean into her false claim of Native American heritage. On the campaign trail, she told whoppers about having been pushed out of a teaching job for being visibly pregnant and told charter school advocates her kids went to public school (while hiding that she sent one of her children to private school).
She was an unconvincing panderer, actually generating phrases
Bernard Madoff has made headlines for four decades.
First, as the hot-shot New York financier who wrapped himself in a shroud of Oz-like mystery making eager investors desperate to be in his inner circle.
Then, as a swindler who stole billions from celebrities and hollowed out the pension funds of firefighters and teachers. Following his epic takedown, Madoff was sentenced to 150 years behind bars. In the system, he's known simply as prisoner # 61727-054.
He's been locked up at a medium-security prison in North Carolina for more than a decade
The ages of the Democratic race's two remaining contenders are becoming a central issue in the increasingly bitter primary fight, focusing more attention on their prospective running mates.If elected, Joe Biden, 77, or Bernie Sanders, 78, would be the oldest president to hold office in history. Since announcing his candidacy last April, Biden's rambling oratory style and penchant for, intentionally or not, mixing up details in the stories he tells on the trail, have become a hallmark of his third White House bid. Sanders, meanwhile, had a heart attack last October but has refused to provide more health records.
Obama’s Acting Homeland Security Inspector General and his subordinate were indicted on 16 counts of theft and fraud, the Justice Department announced on Friday. “The indictment charges Charles K. Edwards, 59, of Sandy Spring, Maryland, and Murali Yamazula Venkata, 54, of Aldie, Virginia, with conspiracy to commit theft of government property and to defraud the United States, theft of government property, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft. The indictment also charges Venkata with destruction of records.” The charges allege that in addition to stealing government software and databases, Venkata helped Edwards by reconfiguring his laptop
