A former adviser to President Bill Clinton said that Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton have “ cooked up a scheme ” for her to become the 2020 Democratic nominee even though she ’ s not in the race .
“ Here ’ s the deal that I think is going down .
I think Hillary and Bloomberg have gotten together and cooked up a scheme , ” Dick Morris told John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable radio show on Sunday .
Morris said Bloomberg will stay in the race , even after it becomes clear he has no chance of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least enough support to stop Bernie Sanders from running away with the nomination .
“ Nobody will be nominated on the first ballot , and it ’ ll go to a second ballot , ” Morris said of a brokered convention .
“ The problem is that the party establishment doesn ’ t have a candidate .
They can ’ t do Bloomberg because he got killed in the debate .
… Can ’ t do [ Joe ] Biden because he ’ s already lost the front-runner status .
… [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school kid at the Model UN .
… [ Elizabeth ] Warren is third , but she ’ s pretty far to the Left , and they ’ re not going to want to trust her.

A former adviser to President Bill Clinton said that Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton have “cooked up a scheme” for her to become the 2020 Democratic nominee even though she’s not in the race.
“Here’s the deal that I think is going down. I think Hillary and Bloomberg have gotten together and cooked up a scheme,” Dick Morris told John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable radio show on Sunday.

Morris said Bloomberg will stay in the race, even after it becomes clear he has no chance of winning, in an effort to get at least enough support to stop Bernie Sanders from running away with the nomination.
“Nobody will be nominated on the first ballot, and it’ll go to a second ballot,” Morris said of a brokered convention. “The problem is that the party establishment doesn’t have a candidate. They can’t do Bloomberg because he got killed in the debate. … Can’t do [Joe] Biden because he’s already lost the front-runner status. … [Pete] Buttigieg looks like a high school kid at the Model UN. … [Elizabeth] Warren is third, but she’s pretty far to the Left, and they’re not going to want to trust her.”

newspunch--2020-02-24--Bernie Sanders Tells CNN: Communist Dictator Fidel Castro’s Rule Was ‘Not All Bad’

Democrat presidential frontrunner Bernie Sanders has praised authoritarian Communist dictator Fidel Castro ’ s ‘ massive literacy program ‘ during an appearance on CNN .
Sanders , 78 , told Anderson Cooper he was standing by comments he made in the 1980s praising the communist dictator ’ s brutal leadership of Cuba in which he imposed one-party rule and imprisoned anyone who disagreed with him .
The Vermont senator and socialist defended the Communist regime as ‘ not all bad ‘ during a disturbing and wide-ranging 60 Minutes interview which aired Sunday .
During the interview , he told Anderson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know , it ’ s unfair to simply say everything is bad .
You know ?
‘ When Fidel Castro came into office , you know what he did ?
He had a massive literacy program .
Is that a bad thing ?
Even though Fidel Castro did it ?
’ Sanders had said of dictator Castro in 1985 : ‘ He educated their kids , gave them health care , totally transformed the society , you know ?
’ DailyMail report : Castro @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A Cold War foe of the U.S. , Castro ’ s government imprisoned dissidents and imposed one-party rule on the island nation .
He died at the age of 90 in 2016 .
When pushed further on the dissidents imprisoned in the country , Sanders replied : ‘ That ’ s right .
And we condemn that .
Unlike Donald Trump , let ’ s be clear…I do not think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend .
‘ I don ’ t trade love letters with a murdering dictator .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of mine.
‘ The self proclaimed Democratic socialist won a decisive victory Saturday in the Nevada caucuses , solidifying his frontrunner status in the race to choose the Democratic nominee who faces President Donald Trump in November ’ s election .
The 78-year-old senator from Vermont was leading with about 46 percent , followed by former vice president Joe Biden at 19 percent .
But even for Sanders the results are ‘ shocking ‘ , adding : ‘ The ideas that seemed radical four years ago are now kind of mainstream .
‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in New York , he got $ 800 million in tax breaks and subsidies to build luxury housing .
That ’ s called corporate socialism .
‘ What democratic socialism is about is saying , ‘ Let ’ s use the federal government to protect the interests of working families.
’ Moderate Democrats are growing increasingly nervous that Sanders ’ call for a political ‘ revolution ’ would drive voters away from the party , both in the matchup against President Donald Trump and in House and Senate races .
‘ I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us in these states or congressional districts that we have to do well in , ’ South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn , the House majority whip and the top-ranking black Democrat in Congress , said Sunday on ABC ’ s ‘ This Week.
’ ‘ The country can ’ t afford to let Bernie Sanders skate by another debate without a focus on his extreme record , ’ said Mike Bloomberg spokesperson Galia Slayen .

More than 200 Cherokees and other Native Americans have sent a letter to Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren ( D-MA ) telling her to knock off the malarky and publicly apologize after “ vague and inadequate ” past steps to apologize for her claims of Cherokee ancestry .
“ Your history of false claims to American Indian identity and the defense of these claims with a highly publicized DNA test continue to dog your political career , ” the letter reads .
“ For Native Americans , this moment is more than an annoyance ; it represents the most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ generation.
” National Review reports : The letter cites reporting detailing how white people have scammed more than $ 800 million in no-bid federal contracts intended to support minority business owners by falsely claiming Native American and other minority heritages .
The scammers routinely cite family legacy and the results of commerical DNA tests to substantiate their claims , as Warren did throughout her career .
In light of those similarities , the letter asks for Warren to publicly denounce her family story of Native ancestry .
“ When you still defend yourself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ growing up , you set a harmful example for these white people stealing Native identity and resources with stories very similar to your own , ” the letter states .
Warren claimed to have Cherokee heritage for many years , which critics have charged allowed her to rise in academia before she entered politics .
After withering criticism from President Trump , Warren released an infamous DNA test — which she quietly deleted evidence of a year later — showing that she was between 1/64th and 1/1024th Native American .
The Massachusetts Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the aftermath of her DNA test , and last February she apologized to the Cherokee Nation for publicizing her results .
“ I am sorry for harm I have caused .
I have listened and I have learned a lot , and I am grateful for the many conversations that we have had together , ” Warren told the Native American Issues Forum in Sioux City , Iowa , in August .
Warren responded to the letter on Tuesday night by reiterating her apologies for promoting herself as Native American , but distanced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criticism by saying “ my situation differs from these cases because I never benefited financially or professionally ” from her claims .
In response , three of the authors of the original letter told the Los Angeles Times that they were disappointed Warren did not directly address her family story .
“ We hope that after further dialogue with the campaign , Warren will bravely and publicly tell the truth about her family , ” they said in an email .

newspunch--2020-02-27--Arizona Astronomers Discover ‘Mini Moon’ That Has Been Orbiting Earth Undetected For Years

A pair of astronomers in Arizona just discovered a mini moon within Earth ’ s orbit and it turns out the mini moon , officially known as a “ Temporary Captured Orbiter ” , has been orbiting us for years , undetected until now .
How was it found : The asteroid , called 2020 CD3 ( also known as C26FED2 ) , was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona on February 15 .
The two researchers responsible for the discovery held off on announcing their findings while they confirmed exactly what 2020 CD3 was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Its small size and peculiar orbit helped hide it well from astronomers .
Mini moons are formally known as Temporary Captured Orbiters ( TCO ) —objects that are currently looping the planet , but will eventually shove off and resume their trip around the sun .
CSS previously found a TCO that stumbled into Earth ’ s orbit in 2006 , before exiting the following year .
Tell me more about the rock : There ’ s honestly not much to tell yet .
It ’ s estimated to between 6.2 and 16.4 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have entered Earth ’ s orbit three years ago .
Its calculated trajectory so far suggests it will exit Earth ’ s orbit in April .
“ It can not be ruled out that the object is artificial , ” says Theodore Pruyne , one of the researchers who made the discovery .
“ At this moment , with the observations we have , we can only say that it is a probable ‘ mini moon , ' ” and not just an old satellite or other human-made object .
What ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spotting a mini-moon is pretty rare .
The goal behind CSS is to track 90 percent of all objects larger than 460 feet .
Finding such small objects is basically an accident .
And there are probably many more mini-moons orbiting Earth that we just haven ’ t spotted yet .

President Trump has sued the New York Times for spreading malicious fake news about his ties to Russia , in order to thwart his chances at winning a second term .
In a 2019 op-ed , the NYT published a slew of false allegations about the president having an agreement with “ Vladimir Putin ’ s oligarchy ” to help defeat his Democrat rival , Hillary Clinton , in the 2016 election .

“ The Trumpites knew about the quid and held out the prospect of the quo.
” The suit states that the Times was “ well aware when it published these statements that they were not true ” and that the paper ’ s own past reporting run counter to Frankel ’ s claims .
Jenna Ellis , a senior legal aide to President Trump ’ s re-campaign , said the allegations laid out in the Times ‘ article “ were and are 100 percent false and defamatory.
