Progressive talk about replacing Biden
flames out
Posted By: NorthernDog, 2/12/2023 2:16:23 PM
As President Biden prepares to launch another White House bid, the nascent movement to find a replacement to run in his place has flamed out, with Democrats in both wings of the party pleased with the expected direction of his campaign and no alternative in sight. Progressives have wondered how Biden will position himself in 2024, having seen him both tack to the middle and veer to the left at different points in office. But they got a major sign of reassurance after this week’s address: more liberal firepower is in the works. “I have to say, the speech was

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES -- Tensions flared Monday morning as crews dismantled several homeless encampments on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles while police officers stood guard. Video from AIR7 HD showed a dump truck's crane grabbing one encampment's canopy tent, which had apparently been constructed with a raised floor and walls. All of the debris was then hoisted into the truck and hauled away. That sparked an angry reaction from some bystanders, who stood behind yellow police tape at the intersection of Fifth and San Pedro streets. "So I built my house right here on wheels," said homeless activist Stephanie Arnold

Dozens of students walked out of their New Hampshire school after the district banned urinals in a compromise to a proposal that would have blocked children from using facilities based on their gender identity. The school board decided a few days before the Friday walkout to prohibit students at Milford Middle School and Milford High School from using urinals or shared spaces in locker rooms. The ban in a town of about 15,000 people roughly 35 miles (56 kilometers) from Concord, New Hampshire's capital, was the culmination of a long debate about district rules about bathroom use and gender identity.
Exclusive: Unearthed documents from early in the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation show DNA evidence recovered under her fingernails and clothes was not a match for members of the family and others close to the case just weeks after the crime. But police for years continued to float the possibility that her parents were under "an umbrella of suspicion" in the gruesome slaying, a new book on late Colorado investigator Lou Smit, who worked the case, argues in its opening pages. "Lou and JonBenet: A Legendary Lawman’s Quest to Solve a Child Beauty Queen’s Murder," by John W. Anderson, a former

MINNEAPOLIS — The Walgreens store located on the border of Minneapolis' Near North and Hawthorne neighborhoods is slated to close later this month, the second major business to announce a departure from north Minneapolis this week. In a statement, a Walgreens spokesperson confirmed that the location at 627 W. Broadway Avenue will close on Feb. 22, 2023.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative Angie Craig was assaulted on Thursday in the elevator of her apartment building in Washington, her office said in a statement. Her chief of staff, Nick Coe, said that Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota suffered bruising, but was "otherwise physically OK." Coe added that there was no evidence to suggest the attack was politically motivated. The attack took place early in the morning and the lawmaker "defended herself from the attacker," Coe said. The attacker fled the scene of the assault, her office added. "Rep. Craig is grateful to the DC Metropolitan Police Department for their quick response
New York City is converting the world’s tallest Holiday Inn hotel into the Big Apple’s sixth mega-shelter for its surging migrant population, Mayor Eric Adams announced Tuesday. The deal will supply 492 rooms for adult families and single women, Adams said in a statement. “With more than 44,000 asylum seekers arriving in the last 10 months alone, we have helped provide shelter and support to nearly as many asylum seekers as the number of New Yorkers we already had in our shelter system when we first came into office,” he said. Terms of the contract weren’t announced, but The Post
NEW YORK — The Internal Revenue Service is recommending that taxpayers hold off on filing their tax returns for 2022 if they received a special tax refund or payment from their state last year. Last year, 19 states offered diverse programs that offered inflation relief payments or refunds for taxpayers. The IRS issued the guidance Friday due to the agency’s uncertainty about the taxability of the payments. (Snip) For residents from states such as California and Illinois, the agency is recommending that they hold off on filing their tax returns until they receive further instruction from the IRS. If you
The Aldi store in north Minneapolis is closing next week, leaving the wider Northside community with just one large grocery store. The store, located at 3120 Penn Ave. N., will have its final day on Feb. 12.

It will leave north Minneapolis with just one large grocery chain, Cub Foods at 701 W. Broadway Ave., and independent options such as So Low Grocery Outlet at 3111 Emerson Ave. N., and North Market at 4414 Humboldt
Sorry Democrats, you’re stuck with Kamala
13 replies
By now, almost everyone knows it: Vice President Kamala Harris is a horrible politician, would be an embarrassing presidential nominee, and would not be a good president. The New York Times has a long piece on how this realization is spreading through Democratic circles. At times, the reporters try to soften the blow, but the judgment of Democratic insiders is unavoidable. (Tweet) Quin Hillyer lays out concisely why Harris is so unpopular. She cackles menacingly or awkwardly at totally inappropriate times. And when she speaks, she gives off the impression of a child who forgot to prepare for his school

The former President has blasted Rihanna for the 'worst halftime show in Super Bowl history' after she already insulted 'far more than half our nation' by spray painting 'f*** Donald Trump' on a car.
Rihanna, with her baby bump beaming out of her red ensemble, stormed the stage in Arizona before the Chiefs became Super Bowl champions on Sunday night.
She gave the millions of viewers a sultry performance - however her racy dancing and risqué lyrics were perhaps too much for some family-friendly fans.
Donald Trump - who has butted heads with the Barbadian singer multiple times in the past - clearly was not impressed

A photo of former Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake attending Super Bowl LVII has gone viral, but for reasons you might not expect.
The former news anchor turned GOP firebrand was seen sitting during the controversial playing of the Black national anthem ahead of the game, which took place Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. A photo of her refusing to stand for the anthem was posted on social media and quickly sparked a frenzy of people praising her decision.
A key signer of the open letter that wrongly suggested The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s emails was part of a “Russian information operation” has accused Politico of distorting “what we said” — more than two years after the fact.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper tried Monday to tamp down the growing controversy over the letter that he and 50 other ex-spooks signed after The Post first revealed the existence of the first son’s infamous laptop in October 2020.
Their public statement, now the subject of investigations by the Republican-led House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, was first reported by Politico
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday she did not believe Jesus would support pro-Christian Super Bowl commercials because they make fascism “look benign.”
The Christian group “He Gets Us” spent some $20 million on two advertisements that aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl portraying Jesus Christ as loving “the people we hate.”
“Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter. (Tweet) One of the ads shows scene after scene of angry people in each other’s faces and ends with the caption “Jesus loved the people we hate. He gets us. All of us.”
Democrats Pass Laws to Destroy Suburbs

In the name of “equity,” the Biden administration and state Democrats have declared war on the suburbs:
The Biden administration and Democrats in New York, Connecticut and other states are fighting local zoning laws in order to build high-rise apartment buildings with “affordable” units in tree-lined, single-family neighborhoods. All in the name of equity, meaning everyone can live in a tranquil suburb, whether they’ve earned the money to pay for it or not.
The Biden administration announced Jan. 19 that it will require all towns across the U.S. to submit “Equity Plans” showing how they will make it possible for low-income people to live there
Former President Donald Trump has reportedly been referring to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as "Meatball Ron" ahead of the latter's expected 2024 White House bid.
Trump has insulted the popular Florida governor in casual conversations, per the New York Times, describing him as "Meatball Ron," a likely jab at his appearance, and "Shutdown Ron," for his actions putting restrictions in place at the beginning of the COVID-19

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski Claims Biden 'Extremely Well-Liked' 27 replies
This one was almost too stupid to cover, but sometimes the really stupid silliness is hard to pass up, which is nearly always the case with anything to do with MSNBC’s Morning Joe and its lovebird co-hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. (Mr. and Mrs. Mika, as I’m fond of calling them.)
On Friday’s episode of the Trump-bashing, Biden-loving comedy show, Mika beclowned herself bigly, which is a piece of cake for her and her emasculated hubby.
Conservative author and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is “seriously considering” a 2024 presidential bid after traveling to Iowa in January, he confirmed to the Daily Caller on Monday.
Ramaswamy spoke with Iowa farmers and Republican leaders about reviving national identity and combatting woke ideology, the subject of his bestseller “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam,” published in 2021. “I would say I’m seriously considering it, that’s where I’m at,” Ramaswamy told the Caller in a brief interview. He believes “we are in the middle of this national identity crisis” because “the things that used to define American national identity have disappeared.”
Mayhem has broken out in the City of Brotherly Love following the Philadelphia Eagles' narrow Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Signs of unrest surfaced almost immediately after the team's 38-35 defeat Sunday night - with disgruntled fans already seen swarming City Hall and clashing with police that had been stationed throughout the city in case of such an outcome.
Police scanner audio since 10:30pm suggests that cops have already made multiple arrests, as citizens have been seen scaling lampposts, chant 'f*** the Chiefs', and hurling glass bottles
You can tell that the progs who have monopolized late night comedy are scared out of their wits by the triumph of Gutfeld!, the Fox News competitor that has grabbed ratings leadership, despite a visibly smaller production budget and distribution lacking free broadcast TV stations. When it was announced that a promo video for the show would air during the Super Bowl, heads figuratively exploded. They know that exposing the show to the gigantic Super Bowl audience, many of whom had never heard of it, would inevitably drive sampling, and that some of the new viewers would stay with the show, further driving down their ratings.
Alright, maybe I was too quick to dismiss the possibility of aliens.
The Pentagon gave a briefing on Sunday evening after yet another unidentified flying object was shot down, this time in US airspace over Lake Huron. Reports began to circulate that the object was an “octagon” and that it didn’t appear to be a balloon.
That set off some speculation that the recent rash of UFOs were balloons, likely from China, but that they were simply shaped differently than one would expect. In a pretty shocking statement, though, Gen. Glen VanHerck made it clear that’s not the view of the US military. The UFOs not being balloons would be crazy enough,
Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, said Tuesday she is entering the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race in a move that puts her in direct competition with her one-time boss, former President Donald Trump.
“It’s time for a new generation of leadership to rediscover fiscal responsibility, secure our border, and strengthen our country, our pride and our purpose,” Ms. Haley said in an announcement video released a day before she is scheduled to give a formal campaign launch speech in Charleston, S.C.

Who are they kidding? Behind the scenes they are all clamoring for power. But the Democrat bench has nothing but a kooky governor in CA and the same retreads from the 2020 primary.
