Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seems to hate Trump with a fiery passion these days, as he is pretty much only throwing his hat into the 2020 Democratic presidential race to beat him. That’s why Bloomberg is undoubtedly very unhappy that a 2017 video has surfaced in which he was singing a very different tune about Trump.
While appearing on “The View” in 2017, Bloomberg urged the American people to “get behind” Trump because “the public has spoken,” according to The Daily Caller. After asking Americans to give Trump a chance to lead the nation, Bloomberg said “you have to make it work,” adding that while people can protest political policies they don’t like, “in the end, the public has spoken, whether you like the results or not.”

“That’s my country. That’s my kids and grandkids,” Bloomberg said on the ABC talk show. “You have to make it work. We have an election — whoever wins, you got to get behind. He’s our president, and we need this country to be run well. I didn’t vote for him. Let’s just all hope that Donald Trump is a good president of the United States.”
Boy, have times changed!
Bloomberg is far less civil right now when it comes to Trump, and the last thing he wants Americans to do is “get behind” the president. Just a few hours ago, Bloomberg launched a below the belt attack on Trump on Twitter, showing the public that he most certainly has no interest in taking the high road in his quest to take down the president.

“Donald Trump, we know many of the same people in NY,” Bloomberg tweeted. “Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence. I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will.”

A 2006 video of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar has just surfaced that may destroy her chances of getting the nomination from the increasingly radically left party , as it shows that she at least once held many of the same views as President Donald Trump when it comes immigration .

“ But we also have to stop giving amnesty to companies that are hiring illegal immigrants , ” she said .
“ Under this administration , the number of prosecutions of companies [ hiring illegal immigrants ] has gone way down .

She has also said that as president , she would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ border .
“ Stop the diversion of funds needed to modernize our military bases from being used for the border wall , ” Klobuchar recently said , adding that she “ will rescind President Trump ’ s national emergency declaration and return funding for its intended purpose.

When he thought about making this race , his third for the big office , Joe Biden likely counted on one thing .

Something he had earned and desperately wanted .
But he made a big mistake .

He counted on Barack Obama to endorse him .
With that nod , donors and other endorsements would have flowed like milk and honey .
However , his former boss sold Biden out to the political ambitions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michelle Obama .
The Obamas will need all the help they can acquire to get Michelle to the Senate and then to the Oval Office .
Taking sides in a hard fought primary season is not a smart way to get that help .
So , Joe loses out on the endorsement and with it any chance at the presidency .
MORE NEWS : What if Biden drops out ?
Biden should have known this would happen and planned accordingly .
After all , he worked next to Obama for eight years and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was and is .
Anyway , Biden has been around long enough to know the rules of the game .
Especially the one made famous by Harry Truman : If you want a friend in Washington , get a dog .
It didn ’ t even help that he was Obama ’ s dog for two terms .
The weak loyalty that engendered to him from his former master gave Biden a bad finish in Iowa and a disastrous finish in New Hampshire .
Now it gives him a political death watch .

The support of black leaders , that counts so much in Democratic southern primaries , is evaporating .

Running and beating Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California may seem like an impossible task , a David versus Goliath mission .
But the GOP sports a 34 year old entrepreneur that has the right stuff for the job .
DeAnna Lorraine was born and raised in California and went to Cal State at Chico , where she studied marketing and organizational communications .
For the last ten years she has owned her own personal counseling firm and has had a thorough private sector education in the free market and the challenges facing small businesses everywhere .
Her particular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perspective on the current status of the American family .
That ’ s why her first priority is making sure government does all it can , within common sense limits , to “ restore the family unit.
” Lorraine comments , “ Even though I ’ m running as a Republican , so many of the issues we are dealing with cross political lines and affect all Americans – like rising homelessness , broken families , and fatherless homes .
Our country is in a crisis of broken families and fatherless homes right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crucial elements , because strong families create a strong America.
” And of her Goliath-like opponent ?
Well , DeAnna Lorraine is not reticent .
“ Pelosi has been at the head of disastrous federal policies that have done a great deal to result in the continuing destruction of the city of San Francisco….Her priorities are all wrong .
While we here in the 12th district deal with the problems of homelessness and broken families that are a product of her failed policies , she focuses on a doomed impeachment .
In fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 380 press releases .
Not one dealt with the ongoing economic crises here in her own backyard.
” Lorraine comments that , “ Pelosi has engaged in a downright betrayal of Americans and the Constitution.
” The challenger also says that stopping the scourge of illegal immigration is one of her top tasks , noting that “ violent illegal immigrants have taken lives in this state and are a tremendous burden on the taxpayers of California .
We ’ ve got to do better in protecting our families from this problem.
” Those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taking into account her climb is certainly uphill , forget Agincourt , the Battle of Britain , and Valley Forge .

Joy Behar then intervened, asking, “Let’s say you’re on the debate stage with him and he does what he did to Hillary, starts hovering behind you like a big monster behind the poor woman. What are you going to do?”
“I’ll say, come up here, Jack. Up here. Stand next to me. Come on, this guy is a — oh gosh,” Biden laughed while shaking his head. “God, give me the grace to not say what I’m thinking.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) introduced a series of new foreign policy bills this week that, among other things, would give Congress the ability to greatly limit the president’s power to declare national emergencies and impose international sanctions.
Omar’s package is known as the “Pathway to PEACE (Progressive, Equitable, and Constructive Engagement),” and the congresswoman describes it as “a bold progressive vision to rethink the country’s approach to foreign policy by centering human rights, justice and peace as the pillars of America’s engagement in the world, and making military action a last resort.”
“I believe in a world where there are no young girls living through war, and no nations that are being destroyed,” she continued in a statement obtained by Breitbart News.
Endless war is not making our country safer. It is costing lives, destroying futures, and damaging our reputation in the world. Today, I’m introducing the #PathwaytoPeace, a new vision for American foreign policy based on peace and diplomacy. https://t.co/TpG8oqk1X7 — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) February 12, 2020
During a panel discussion at the Capitol on Wednesday, Omar gave more details about the bills, claiming they are a globalized approach to U.S. foreign policy.
“These sets of bills are not about a single country or singling out one particular country,” said Omar. “It’s about setting a common set of standards for the world.”
The package includes the Congressional Oversight of Sanctions Act, which will limit the president’s “authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare national emergencies and place economic sanctions.”

“We need to restore congressional oversight,” Omar explained, saying the bill “requires an explanation for what foreign policy goal is supposed to be achieved with the given sanction and what the process for delisting an individual, entity or country should be.”
Another bill included in the package is the “Stop Arming Human Rights Abusers Act,” which appears to target Israel. This bill would put in place “red lines” for foreign nations based on “international humanitarian law,” and any violation would “automatically [trigger] a prohibition on security aid of any kind, arms sales including those controlled by the Commerce Dept. (tear gas, etc.).”
While Israel isn’t mentioned by name in the bill, Omar’s prior comments about international “human rights” have almost always focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A third part of the bill, which she only calls “military intimidation and coercion,” redirects defense spending to the State Department.
“[The] Global Peace Building Act… would authorize a one-time transfer of $5 billion dollars from the Pentagon’s Overseas Contingency Operation budget to the State Department to create a new multi-lateral peacebuilding fund,” Omar said.
Omar’s press release for the bills state that they are supported by such powerful liberals as Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security advisor to Barack Obama.
“Congresswoman Omar is putting forward an ambitious and comprehensive package that outlines progressive approaches to some of the most important issues facing the United States and our world today,” Rhodes said.
Omar is as radically left as they come, and she is trying to steer the entire nation that way politically. Since taking office, Omar has shown that she has no respect for America, and she is now showing that she appears to want to weaken our country as much as possible on the international stage. We can only hope these bills are never passed into law, because if they are, we are all in big trouble.

In a follow up to a recent story, Bernie Sanders responded to political legend James Carville’s criticism of his campaign as “a cult” by cleverly and originally labeling Carville “a hack.”
Carville, who led many successful political efforts including winning two runs for the White House, was commenting on Sanders’ chances against Trump in November. Sanders’ tried to pivot to set Carville up as a member of “the establishment.”
He did that because Carville is talking about politics, not government. But since Sanders knows Carville is right, he is nationally unelectable, Sanders tried to change the subject.
MORE NEWS: What if Biden drops out?
And it is amusing the way some people throw around the term “the establishment,” as if their “establishment” wouldn’t take over from those of their beaten opponents. If you’re losing then the “establishment” is against you. If you’re winning but need a scapegoat on a particular issue then “the establishment” is to blame.
If Sanders can’t get over using dated 60s hippie phraseology like “the establishment,” soon he’ll be saying he “tells it like it is,” will be calling Mike Bloomberg “a turkey,” and saying his run is trying to “stick to the man.” And anyway, there’s another candidate who’s better at that last one.
What Sanders also knows is that Carville is essentially right, just not in the way he meant. Sanders does belong to a cult and it is called socialism. Perhaps the bloodiest cult of all time and certainly the biggest political killer of the 20th century.
It sports cult leaders like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, and Castro in it’s mass murderers line up and has made itself so thoroughly despised that its main advocate, the Soviets, now practice Wild West capitalism. The other classic red player, China, dropped socialism decades ago and subsequently is the world’s number two economy behind us.
But here in America and in certain primitive parts of Europe socialism still holds sway with the chattering classes. And no one chatters like a socialist engaged in a political rant.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-14--Bernie Sanders Remembers “Being Very Excited” When Castro Took Over Cuba

In a video from 1986 , Bernie Sanders tell an audience that he remembers “ being very excited ” when Fidel Castro led the communist revolution in Cuba .
Sanders : “ Seemed Right and Appropriate the Poor People Were Rising Up ” Sanders was 12 when the revolution in Cuba started in 1953 , and was 17 when Castro and the communists finally ousted Batista in 1958 .
He told the listening audience that he remembered “ for some reason , being very excited when Fidel Castro made the revolution in Cuba.
” He said that it just “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were rising up against rather ugly rich people.
” Sanders recalled watching the Presidential debate between Nixon and Kennedy in 1960 , the first time televised presidential debate in US history .
There was Kennedy and Nixon talking about which particular method they should use about destroying the revolution .
Remember , the irony , as we learned the history later on , Kennedy was saying that Nixon was too soft on communism… in Cuba .
“ We should deal firmly with Fidel Castro ” [ Kennedy argued ] and Nixon was playing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve got to be patient .
You know , you can ’ t do these things , you got to negotiate.
” When of course , what he was upset about is that secretly they were planning the Bay of Pigs invasion right then .
But for security reasons , he couldn ’ t come out and say we ’ re already planning the destruction of the Cuban Revolution , don ’ t worry about it .
So he – he was the liberal and Kennedy was playing the conservative .
Sanders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ sick feeling ” in his stomach .
“ Usually I ’ m sufficiently unemotional not to be sick , but I actually got up in the room and almost left to puke , ” because “ for the first time in my adult life , [ I saw ] that there really wasn ’ t a whole lot of difference ” between Democrats and Republicans , as both wanted to stop the Cuban revolution .
America needs to wake up and smell the coffee .
Do you really think that Sanders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would condemn his past comments sympathising with murderous communist revolutionaries ?
It isn ’ t a coincidence that he honeymooned in the USSR – his ideas , at their core , are about the government using violence to forcibly redistribute wealth from the “ bourgeoisie ” to the “ deserving ” lower classes .
He was so disgusted with the fact that the US goverment wanted to stop communists from destroying Cuba that he was literally going to throw up at the thought !
If Sanders wins the Democratic nomination , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wide , so the people know just who they ’ re dealing with .

Waters then claimed that President Trump “has failed at fucking everything in his life except becoming the biggest … tyrant and mass murderer and mass destroyer of everything that any of us might love or cherish in the whole [world], only because he has the power. Unfortunately, he has his finger on the button on it, and he’s right.”
Waters added that the President has “a bigger button” that “works all over the world, murdering brown people for profit.”

“The Only Candidate Who Can Win Against Trump is Sanders”
He told the media audience that he wished people in the US were getting involved in politics, “because if they were, you wouldn’t have Donald Trump as a president, you wouldn’t be having all this nonsense with the Democratic primaries, with them trying to destroy the only candidate who can possibly win against Donald Trump, Sanders.”
The audience then cheered at the suggestion that he was backing the socialist Senator from Vermont for President.

Waters is spewing the exact same type of vitriol that every other left-wing celebrity does when talking about President Trump. They are all completely disconnected from the ordinary American people, and live in this fantasy world where the President is some sort of evil fascist who goes around genociding anyone who blocks him on Twitter. Mr Waters, you may have drunk the proverbial kool-aid, but please don’t throw it up all over us!

Officials “appear to be hunting for a basis to accuse Obama-era intelligence officials of hiding evidence or manipulating analysis about Moscow’s covert operation,” the Times summarizes.
Among those in the crosshairs is John Brennan, former CIA director under Obama, who is under the microscope for possibly having “preconceived notions about Russia” and perhaps “hid(ing) intelligence from other agencies.”
The focus allegedly involves the intelligence community’s conclusion Russia had not just tried to create chaos in the 2016 election, but that they were all in for President Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton.
Durham, according to the Times, may believe Brennan “was nefariously trying to keep other agencies from seeing the full picture lest they interfere with that goal,” a goal to prove that Russia’s interference was designed to benefit Trump.
Durham’s line of questioning appears aimed at understanding how US intelligence analysts reached their conclusions and whether the CIA played a role in fueling suspicions at the FBI about Trump and Russia https://t.co/BcEDW0aZda — Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) February 14, 2020

For quite some time, the fact that Obama and his administration did very little to stop Russian interference in the election was based on the thought that they assumed Hillary was going to win regardless.
What if, and this is just speculation, they actually thought she was going to lose and instead went into crisis mode trying to create the narrative that would later emerge? An ‘insurance policy’ of sorts.
Remember, it was Obama’s former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, according to a 2018 book, who reportedly issued a ‘stand-down’ order to officials developing plans to respond to Russian election meddling attempts in 2016.
According to Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump, Rice gave officials at the National Security Council (NSC) who were trying to punish Russia strict orders to “stand down” and “knock it off.”
Mother Jones reports, “It was a debate that would culminate that summer with a dramatic directive from President Barack Obama’s national security adviser to the NSC staffers developing aggressive proposals to strike back against the Russians: ‘Stand down.'”
Texas congressman John Ratcliffe, at a House Judiciary Committee meeting in December, responded to a challenge to defend foreign interference in our elections simply by pointing out it was Obama who did so first.
“Have you that quickly forgotten how the Trump/Russia investigation proceeded?” he continued. “The Obama administration asked Great Britain and Italy and Australia and other countries to assist in its investigation of a person who was a political opponent from the opposite party.”
