Bernie Sanders' Faux Populism

Original Article

If you don’t know this is happening, that’s fine. You’re not missing much, and it’s a sign that this little tour Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is going on is not resonating. Sanders has been crisscrossing the country, holding rallies to fight the oligarchy. It’s his favorite pastime. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Sanders has been warning about the oligarchy. Most Americans don’t know or care about that word; even Democrats have criticized the tour as too esoteric and insular. If it’s only getting the Democratic Party base excited, that’s a problem. Their base isn’t broad or likable enough to win elections anymore.

Is it just me or is Bernie Sanders channeling Sen Robert Dole’s way of speaking? At least he has the correct initials: BS!

Not to change the subject, but when even the conservative "authors" adopt the language of the left, you know how insidious it is. FTA: "..People see a Democrat and either sprint in the opposite direction or suppress the urge to punch them in the face." Maybe it's too picky, but in that sentence, "Democrat" is singular, and "them" is plural.

I worked for a major oil company for 33 years after my SE Asia trip after high school. I own my home (singular) and cars. I wish I was as well off as that lazy legislator, whose never held a real job. A $180,000 car, three homes and he flies private and he talks with such a poor mouth.

Surprised Baier did not bring up the billionaire oligarchy thing. During the 2024 elections, there were at least 83 recorded billionaires supporting Harris and Democrats vs 52 for Trump and Republicans. The Billionaire oligarchs (as Bernie so fondly calls them) supporting Democrats include Mark Cuban, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Michael Bloomberg, Steven Spielberg, the Pritzker family, and everyone's favorite, George Soros. Can Bernie explain the control of the Democrats by billionaire oligarchs away? Are the billionaire oligarchs paying for Bernie's private jets?

Always remember, even in very authoritarian countries they have an elite class that runs the country. They have palaces and fancy homes, multiple in many cases. Drive fancy cars or have drivers. Fly private jets too. So, Bernie, who went to the Soviet Union for his honeymoon, is following a well worn path. He happens to use the word, Oligarchs, instead of Dictator who usually run such countries with iron fists.

Mutually Assured Law Enforcement Destruction 3 replies
Posted by DW626 5/9/2025 10:28:04 AM Post Reply
Earlier this week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided at least nine restaurants in the nation's capital, requesting proof that the establishments are not flouting the law by employing illegal aliens. Washington, D.C., presents itself as a so-called sanctuary city for illegal aliens, so the mere fact ICE agents targeted a few businesses there is hardly surprising. What is perhaps more newsworthy is the specific names associated with those raided restaurants. One of those restaurants, Chef Geoff's, is owned by Geoff Tracy, the husband of CBS News anchor and former vice presidential debate co-moderator Norah O'Donnell.

Charlie Munger, chief investment advisor to Warren Buffett, famously said, “Show me the incentives and I will show you the outcome.” In the academic world, it has always been about publish or perish for researchers. Although there is an academic plague of marginal scholarship, publications are necessary for promotion and for the sake of professional reputation. Our recent work with the National Association of Scholars critically looked at three surefire publication topics — all introduced at some point by Harvard University researchers. This offered us excellent insight into what the “incentives” of their research really are.

Here’s something most people don’t realize: We didn’t have the type of system-wide, ultra-high-level, utterly catastrophic breaches of the federal government’s network security before a certain server going up in a certain Secretary of State’s bathroom in early 2009. It’s been astonishing to me over the years how nobody seems to have noted this or the timing. Well, it’s about time we did. We’ll do it here.

On a Saturday night in late April, the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) doled out awards, one of which went to Alex Thompson of Axios. The judges said he deserved the award because, “Thompson’s aggressive reporting on Biden, especially leading up to and after the Trump-Biden debate, revealed that the president’s cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do his job, information the White House tried to conceal. After the debate, Thompson was the first to report that Biden was at his best from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. -- a stunning revelation.” Thompson’s “aggressive reporting” only started in the fourth year of Biden’s term,

A few days ago, a clip with Michelle Obama from her podcast 'IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson' raised a few eyebrows. Michelle says the following to an unseen individual: "You're being a role model for dealing with a child that's transgender... That warms my heart, particularly as a black man." Was this an inadvertent confession of what some have always claimed? But before the word 'scandal' could be pronounced, the community notes on X revealed the facts. Michelle Obama was talking to actor Marlon Wayans, and her following is the entire question: "And, you know, that warms my heart. Particularly as a Black man, um, you know,

I once heard a comic say, “Hitler – a man widely known for liking large dogs and small children – wasn’t really evil. He just had a bad day. Sure, it lasted twelve years and caused twenty million deaths, but it was basically just a bad day.” Which is, of course, pure crap, and even if it was funny (I didn’t laugh), everybody knew Adolf Hitler was a monster with a Charlie Chaplin moustache. Unfortunately, today, the Dem Progressives (pronounced “Damn Progressives,” but you already knew that), with nothing both real and bad to say about President Trump, have just decided to call him 'Hitler.'
Epstein victim dead, Bondi missing 10 replies

Virginia Giuffre is dead, and Attorney General Pam Bondi is nowhere to be found. The most prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex trafficking ring died by reported suicide in April—despite having previously warned that powerful people wanted her silenced and that she was not suicidal. Her death has rocked the survivor community, where other victims, like Juliette Rose Bryant, have now come forward expressing fear for their own safety. And yet, despite overseeing a massive cache of Epstein-related evidence promised to the American people in February, Bondi has gone quiet. Her failure to act decisively—despite weeks of mounting questions and a public desperate for answers

A cardinal symptom of TDS is the characterization of Trump as Adolf Hitler and a Nazi. The left, not noticeably given to introspection or critical thinking, obviously fails to recognize its own Nazism. A fundamental tenet of Nazism is that all power be vested in the state. Similarly, the Democrat party strives to establish a government that controls society via regulations and central planning — the Green New Deal, E.V. mandates, vaccination mandates, socialized medicine, wealth redistribution, community planning, public education, judicial activism, Obama’s “Life of Julia”, erosion of competing allegiance to family and faith

Even after the loss of the Harris-Walz ticket last November, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) continues to find himself making headlines. Last week, he dared to still go after Elon Musk, even after a district attorney in his state, Mary Moriarty, is seeking diversion rather than criminal charges for a state employee who allegedly caused over $20,000 in damages to six Teslas, which is a felony. Walz also ranted and raved against President Donald Trump at his state of the state address that same week. During memorable moments he seemed particularly proud of, Walz talked about freedom. "Here in Minnesota, that freedom means several things,"

Has the U.S. grown ashamed of its military victories? There are reasons to believe this is true. In April 1988, the U.S. Navy effectively destroyed the Iranian navy following a mine attack on the destroyer USS Roberts. The Navy sank an Iranian frigate, four armed speedboats, blew up two armed oil platforms, and damaged another frigate in one of the shortest and most successful campaigns of the postwar period. Yet even today, there is no actual name attached to the engagement. It’s known simply as “Operation Praying Mantis,” not the obvious “Battle of the Persian Gulf.” More recent events can also act as evidence for cynicism toward American feats

Catholic Church To Excommunicate Priests

The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated. The new law, which will take effect on July 27, eliminates the long-standing confidentiality of the confessional, forcing Catholic leaders and lawmakers into a highly charged standoff over religious liberty and child protection. However, the Archdiocese of Seattle and several bishops argue that the law not only contravenes church doctrine but crosses constitutional lines, while supporters maintain it is a crucial step to protect minors from abuse.

Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s popularity is underwater among Democratic voters in his state according to an internal poll. The poll was performed from Feb. 6 to 11 — three months before New York Magazine released an article reporting that staff and other sources close to the senator worry for his physical and mental health, which Fetterman has since called a “one-source hit piece.” With the poll arriving on the heels of the story, Democrats have “begun looking into rules” regarding the senator’s potential resignation and are “whispering about potential replacements,” according to Politico, who first reported the poll.

It’s a sad day in America when the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court ignores the basic framework of the Constitution he’s supposed to interpret. That’s what happened on Wednesday, when Chief Justice John Roberts took it upon himself to subtly thumb his nose at President Trump and conservatives (snip) … the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president. That innovation doesn’t work if … the judiciary’s not independent. Its job is to, obviously, decide cases, but in the course of that, check the excesses

According to one left-leaning mainstream outlet, the tariffs could lead to a repeat of the great national toilet paper shortage of 2020, when mass hysteria stoked by the media sparked a panic that drove Americans to hoard bathroom tissue, leaving stores with barren shelves and forcing retailers to impose rationing measures.

Less than 48 hours after rolling out a fact-checking website designed to target "right-wing misinformation," California Governor Gavin Newsom was caught using stock footage from Ukraine and Estonia in an ad promoting his state's economy. The ad, released initially on X and set to run on “Fox and Friends” this weekend, criticizes President Donald Trump’s tariffs while touting California's supposed economic strength. An overly excited Newsom, however, shared it with his followers on X first. Viewers quickly pointed out that the ad, meant to show the greatness of the Golden State, contained stock footage from a pair of European countries.

Around the four-month mark of his diagnosis, “Hanson had plunged into a deep depression,” according to the Times Union. He lost his ability to read, write, talk and walk and was suffering seizures. Miraculously, experimental treatment and surgery gave Hanson an additional three years of life, during which he and his wife welcomed two sons. But had Hanson have had access to lethal prescriptions to end his own life during those first few months — he may have taken them, so says his wife Kristen.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has won a $1.375 billion settlement from Google as a result of the state suing the tech company for continued privacy violations. [Press Release Here] In 2022, Attorney General Paxton sued Google for unlawfully tracking and collecting users’ private data regarding geolocation, incognito searches, and biometric data. After years of aggressive litigation, Attorney General Paxton agreed to settle Texas’s data-privacy claims against Google for an amount that far surpasses any other state’s claims for similar violations. To date, no state has attained a settlement against Google for similar data-privacy violations greater than $93 million. Even a multistate coalition that included forty states secured just $391 million—
