NOTE : This article will be updated with speech text and complete video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , here is the C-SPAN closed caption transcript : MR. McCONNELL : I HAD PLANNED TO SPEND MY REMARKS TODAY DISCUSSING OUR BIPARTISAN , BICAMERAL AGREEMENT TO FUND THE FIGHT AGAINST THE NEW CORONAVIRUS .
I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO CONGRATULATING ALL MY COLLEAGUES AND DISCUSSING ALL THE IMPORTANT WAYS THIS FUNDING WILL HELP OUR PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS , FRONT-LINE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS , AND STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS COMBAT THE SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS AND MITIGATE ITS EFFECTS .
IT ’ S A SERIOUS AGREEMENT TO MEET A SERIOUS CHALLENGE , AND @ @ @ @ @ @ @ TRUMP ’ S DESK .
SO TODAY WILL BE AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR THE COUNTRY , AND IT WAS GOING TO BE A PROUD DAY FOR THE SENATE , BUT INSTEAD , THE NATION ’ S EYES ARE ON THIS BODY FOR AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT REASON .
A FEW WEEKS AGO , I SPOKE ON THIS FLOOR ABOUT A DANGEROUS TREND THAT THREATENS OUR SELF-GOVERNMENT .
I EXPLAINED HOW SOME IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY APPEAR MORE INTERESTED IN ATTACKING THE INSTITUTIONS OF OUR GOVERNMENT THAN IN WORKING WITHIN THEM .
HOW DEMOCRATS INCREASINGLY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ THAT OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT ITSELF MUST BE BROKEN .
THE FAILURE CAN ’ T BE THEIR OWN .
IT CAN ’ T BE THAT THE LEFT NEEDS BETTER ARGUMENTS OR IDEAS .
NO .
NO .
THE FAULT MUST LIE WITH THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF .
DEMOCRATS HAVE TRIED TO CLOAK THEIR ANGER AT PRESIDENT TRUMP IN RHETORIC ABOUT PROTECTING NORMS AND INSTITUTIONS , BUT IN REALITY , IT IS THEIR OWN SIDE OF THE AISLE WHERE ANY INSTITUTIONALISM IS RAMPANT .
RAMPANT .
WE COULD TALK ABOUT ATTACKS ON THE OFFICE OF @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT , ON THE SENATE ITSELF , BUT MOST STRIKING OF ALL HAVE BEEN THE SHAMELESS EFFORTS TO BULLY OUR NATION ’ S INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY , AND YESTERDAY THOSE EFFORTS TOOK A DANGEROUS AND DISTURBING TURN .
BY NOW , MANY ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER SHOUTED OUTSIDE THE SUPREME COURT YESTERDAY MORNING .
I ’ M SORRY TO HAVE TO READ IT INTO THE RECORD .
FIRST , HE PROMPTED A CROWD OF LEFT-WING ACTIVISTS TO BOO TWO OF THE ASSOCIATE JUSTICES , AS THOUGH SUPREME COURT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WERE JEERING FROM THE STANDS .
AND THEN THE SENIOR SENATOR FROM NEW YORK SAID THIS — I WANT TO TELL YOU , GORSUCH , I WANT TO TELL YOU , KAVANAUGH , YOU ’ VE RELEASED A WHIRLWIND AND YOU , YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE .
YOU WON ’ T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU IF YOU GO FORWARD WITH THESE AWFUL DECISIONS , END QUOTE .
MADAM PRESIDENT , I ’ M NOT SURE WHERE TO START .
THERE IS NOTHING TO CALL THIS EXCEPTION A THREAT , AND THERE IS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WHOM IT WAS DIRECTED .
CONTRARY TO WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER HAS SINCE TRIED TO CLAIM , HE VERY , VERY CLEARLY WAS NOT ADDRESSING REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS OR ANYONE ELSE .
HE LITERALLY DIRECTED THE STATEMENT TO THE JUSTICES BY NAME , AND HE SAID , QUOTE , IF YOU GO FORWARD WITH THESE AWFUL DECISIONS , WHICH COULD ONLY APPLY TO THE COURT ITSELF .
THE MINORITY LEADER OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE THREATENED TWO ASSOCIATE JUSTICES OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT , PERIOD .
THERE ’ S NO OTHER WAY TO @ @ @ @ @ @ @ THREAT WAS NOT CLEARLY POLITICAL OR INSTITUTIONAL .
AS I ’ LL DISCUSS IN A MOMENT , THESE KINDS OF THREATS ARE SADLY NOTHING NEW FROM SENATE DEMOCRATS .
THIS WAS MUCH BROADER , MUCH BROADER .
THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER TRAVELED TO THE WORKPLACE OF THE TWO JUDGES , AND IN FRONT OF A CROWD OF ACTIVISTS , HE TOLD THOSE JUDGES YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE , RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SUPREME COURT BUILDING .
AND YOU WON ’ T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU , HE SAID , RIGHT IN FRONT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ANY AMERICAN HAD THESE WORDS SHOUTED AT THEM FROM THE SIDEWALK OUTSIDE THEIR OFFICE , THEY WOULD HEAR THOSE THREATS AS PERSONAL .
AND MOST LIKELY THEY WOULD HEAR THEM AS THREATENING OR INCITING VIOLENCE .
THAT ’ S HOW ANY AMERICAN WOULD INTERPRET THOSE WORDS IF THEY WERE DIRECTED AT US , AND THAT ’ S CERTAINLY HOW THE PRESS AND LEADING DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE CHARACTERIZED THEM IF PRESIDENT TRUMP OR ANY SENIOR REPUBLICAN HAD SAID ANYTHING REMOTELY , REMOTELY SIMILAR .
WE ’ VE SEEN MUCH MORE HAY MADE OUT OF @ @ @ @ @ @ @ THIS IS ABSURD .
PERHAPS HE WOULD LIKE THE MOST GENEROUS POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION THAT HE GOT CARRIED AWAY AND DIDN ’ T MEAN WHAT HE SAID .
BUT IF HE DIDN ’ T EVEN ADMIT TO SAYING WHAT HE SAID , WE CERTAINLY CAN NOT KNOW WHAT HE MEANT .
AT THE VERY BEST , HIS COMMENTS WERE ASTONISHINGLY , ASTONISHINGLY RECKLESS AND SUPPLEMENTAL IRRESPONSIBLE , AND CLEARLY , AS THE CHIEF JUSTICE STATED IN A RARE AND EXTRAORDINARY REBUKE , THEY WERE , QUOTE , DANGEROUS , END QUOTE .
BECAUSE NO @ @ @ @ @ @ @ APPARENT THREAT OF VIOLENCE CAN HAVE HORRIFIC UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES .
IN THE MOST RECENT YEAR ON RECORD , MADAM PRESIDENT , THE UNITED STATES MARSHAL SERVICE TRACKED THOUSANDS OF THREATS AND INAPPROPRIATE COMMUTATIONS AGAINST THE JUDICIARY .
THOUSANDS OF THREATS AGAINST THE JUDICIARY .
LESS THAN THREE YEARS AGO , OF COURSE , AN UNHINGED AND UNSTABLE LEFT-WING ACTIVIST ATTEMPTED A MASS MURDER OF CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS AT A BASEBALL FIELD RIGHT ACROSS THE RIVER .
A SENATE LEADER APPEARING TO THREATEN OR INCITE VIOLENCE ON THE STEPS OF THE SUPREME COURT COULD LITERALLY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SO I FULLY ANTICIPATE OUR COLLEAGUE WOULD QUICKLY WITHDRAW HIS COMMENTS AND APOLOGIZE .
THAT ’ S WHAT EVEN RELIABLY LIBERAL LEGAL EXPERTS LIKE LAURENCE TRIBE AND NEIL KAGEL HAVE PUBLICLY URGED .
INSTEAD , OUR COLLEAGUE DOUBLED DOWN , DOUBLED DOWN .
HE TRIED TO GASLIGHT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND STATED THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY THREATENING FELLOW SENATORS , AS THOUGH THAT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER .
BUT THAT ’ S SUFFICIENT .
AND THEN A FEW HOURS LATER , THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER TRIPLED DOWN .
INSTEAD OF TAKING CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LASHED OUT AGAIN AND TRIED TO IMPLY THE CHIEF JUSTICE WAS BIASED , BIASED FOR DOING HIS JOB AND DEFENDING THE COURT .
LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN .
HE TRIPLED DOWN AND HE LASHED OUT YET AGAIN AND TRIED TO IMPLY THE CHIEF JUSTICE WAS BIASED FOR DOING HIS JOB AND DEFENDING THE COURT .
OUR COLLEAGUE THEREFORE SUCCEEDED IN ATTACKING 33 % OF THE SUPREME COURT IN SPACE OF A FEW HOURS .
THROUGHOUT THE IMPEACHMENT , IN THE SENATE TRIAL , FOR MONTHS , WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS PREACHED SERMONS ABOUT THE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BRANCHES .
SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THAT .
AND SADLY , THIS ATTACK WAS NOT SOME ISOLATED INCIDENT .
THE LEFT-WING CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY DID NOT BEGIN YESTERDAY , NOT YESTERDAY .
MY COLLEAGUES WILL RECALL THAT DURING THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL , THE SENIOR SENATOR FROM MASSACHUSETTS , AND OUTSIDE PRESSURE GROUPS TRIED TO ATTACK THE CHIEF JUSTICE SITTING RIGHT IN THAT CHAIR FOR STAYING NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF DELIVERING THE OUTCOMES THAT THEY WANTED .
THESE SAME GROUPS SAME TO SENATOR SCHUMER ’ S DEFENSE YESTERDAY WITH GRATUITOUS ATTACKS AGAINST @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AGAINST HIS COLLEAGUES .
AND LAST SUMMER , LAST SUMMER , A NUMBER OF SENATE DEMOCRATS SENT AN EXTRAORDINARY BRIEF TO THE SUPREME COURT .
IT THREATENED TO INFLICT INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE ON THE COURT IF IT DID NOT RULE THE WAY THE DEMOCRATS WANTED .
IN OTHER WORDS , GIVE US THE RULING WE WANT OR WE ’ LL CHANGE THE NUMBERS OF THE COURT .
HERE ’ S WHAT THEY WROTE .
THE SUPREME COURT IS NOT WELL .
REALLY ?
THE SUPREME COURT IS NOT WELL .
PERHAPS THE COURT CAN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ BE RESTRUCTURED .
NOW , WHAT THAT MEANS IS YOU RULE THE WAY WE WANT OR WE ’ RE GOING TO EXPAND THE NUMBERS AND CHANGE THE OUTCOME .
A POLITICAL THREAT , PLAIN AS DAY .
AS YOU READ THE DOCUMENT , YOU HAVE EXPECTED IT TO END BY SAYING THAT ’ S SOME NICE JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE YOU ’ VE GOT OVER THERE .
IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO IT .
IT COULDN ’ T HAVE BEEN MORE CLEAR .
INDEPENDENCE FROM POLITICAL PASSIONS IS THE CORNERSTONE OF @ @ @ @ @ @ @ INDEPENDENCE IS WHAT ENABLES COURTS TO DO JUSTICE , EVEN WHEN IT IS UNPOPULAR TO PROTECT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS EVEN WHEN POWERFUL INTERESTS WANT THEM INFRINGED .
JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE , MADAM PRESIDENT , IS WHAT MAKES THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A REPUBLIC OF LAWS RATHER THAN OF MEN .
IT ’ S BEEN ALMOST A CENTURY SINCE THE LAST TIME DEMOCRATS THREATENED TO PACK THE SUPREME COURT BECAUSE THEY WANTED DIFFERENT RULINGS .
— DIFFERENT RULINGS .
HISTORY STILL JUDGES THAT DISGRACEFUL EPISODE TO THIS DAY .
SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT MY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ THREATEN IMPARTIAL JUDGES AND MORE TIME COMING UP WITH IDEAS THAT ARE ACTUALLY CONSTITUTIONAL .
FORTUNATELY , THIS EXTRAORDINARY DISPLAY CONTAINS ONE-IRONIC SILVER LINING .
THESE CLUMSY EFFORTS TO ERODE A PILLAR OF AMERICAN GOVERNANCE HAVE JUST REMINDED EVERYONE WHY THAT PILLAR IS SO CRUCIAL .
THESE EFFORTS TO ATTACK JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE REMIND US THAT INDEPENDENCE IS ESSENTIAL .
EVERY TIME DEMOCRATS TRY TO THREATEN SITTING JUDGES , WE ARE REMINDED EXACTLY , EXACTLY WHY THE FRAMERS GAVE THEM LIFE TENURE AND SALARY PROTECTION .
PRECISELY WHY THEY DID IT .
EVERY TIME @ @ @ @ @ @ @ THE COURT , WE ’ RE REMINDED EXACTLY WHY JUSTICE GINSBURG RECENTLY SAID , NINE SEEMS TO BE A GOOD NUMBER .
JUSTICE GINSBURG SAID NINE SEEMS TO BE A GOOD NUMBER .
THE DISTINGUISHED MEN AND WOMEN OF THE SUPREME COURT DO NOT AND MUST NOT SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF ANGRY PARTISANS .
MUST NOT SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF ANGRY PART PARTISANS .
ME DO NOT NEED TO PAY ANY MIND TO UNHINGED THREATS AS SHAMEFUL AS THEY MAY BE .
IN FACT , AS THE CHIEF JUSTICE REMINDED US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PAY SUCH THINGS NO ATTENTION AT ALL .
THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION IS SIMPLE .
TO APPLY THE LAW TO THE FACTS AS THE CHIEF JUSTICE PUT IT , WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR FROM WHATEVER CORNER .
I HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE THE COURT WILL DO JUST THAT .
I ’ M CONFIDENT THAT IF THE FACTS AND THE CONSTITUTION WOULD HAVE LED THE COURT TO DISAPPOINT DEMOCRATS THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY , THEY WILL STILL FEEL FREE TO DO SO TODAY .
AND TOMORROW .
AND BEYOND , NOTWITHSTANDING THESE SHAMEFUL TACTICS .
NOW @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NEED TO REITERATE WHAT EVERY REPUBLICAN SENATOR TOLD THE COURT IN AUGUST AFTER SENATE DEMOCRATS SENT THEIR THREATENING BRIEF .
BUT TODAY I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SAY IT AGAIN .
REPUBLICANS ARE ABSOLUTELY AND UNSHAKEABLY COMMITTED TO THE CORE CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLE OF AN INDEPENDENT FEDERAL JUDICIARY JUDICIARY .
THE CORE CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLE OF AN INDEPENDENT FEDERAL JUDICIARY .
AS LONG AS THIS MAJORITY HOLDS THE GAVEL , WE WILL NEVER LET THE MINORITY LEADER ’ S DANGEROUS VIEWS BECOME POLICY .
THIS MAJORITY WILL ENSURE THE ONLY CASUALTIES OF THIS RECKLESSNESS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IN IT .

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I SPOKE ON THIS FLOOR ABOUT A DANGEROUS TREND THAT THREATENS OUR SELF-GOVERNMENT. I EXPLAINED HOW SOME IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY APPEAR MORE INTERESTED IN ATTACKING THE INSTITUTIONS OF OUR GOVERNMENT THAN IN WORKING WITHIN THEM.

The meeting , which was initially planned in two other places , had to be suspended , always the Vox version , in the face of “ the pressures and threats suffered by violent groups of the extreme left.
” To avoid this harassment , Vox only made this call on social networks public Also participating in this meeting , together with Santiago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Espinosa de los Monteros , who starred in the meeting , thanked those present for “ great support for Vox by the colony of Spaniards living , not only in New York , but in other parts of the country » , according to the press release issued by this political formation .
Abascal , in his speech , encouraged attendees to “ continue to defend the ideas of Vox against the threat of the enemies of freedom and democracy , which have failed in their attempt to silence our voice .
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conducted by the president of Vox for the United States .
Yesterday , on his last day , he met with Senator Ron Johnson , president of the National Security Committee and responsible for relations with Europe ; that of Texas Senator Ted Cruz – who opted for the nomination of the Republican Party as a candidate for the presidency of the United States - ; with Congressman Chris Smith – the oldest veteran of the House representatives with more than 35 years of experience – or Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart from Florida , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Congress of Deputies , Iván Espinosa de los Monteros , to analyze the relations between Spain and Cuba .

Santiago Abascal, the political leader of the populist movement in Spain, was forced to move his venue Wednesday in New York City after violent leftists and Marxists threatened his meetings.

This happens regularly to American conservatives and Trump supporters.
Of course, the liberal mainstream media ignores this political violence.

328 Chinese Nabbed Trying To Enter U.S .
Illegally At Southern Border Data from the Department of Homeland Security shows that 328 immigrants from China were caught trying to he border illegally so far this year .
Three other people from South Korea were arrested at the border , The Washington Times reported .
The report comes as the coronavirus continues to spread across China , where there are more than 80,000 confirmed cases and 2,902 deaths , according to Johns Hopkins .
In South Korea , there are more than 6,000 active cases and 35 deaths .
“ All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day are caught attempting to sneak in illegally from Mexico , which detected its first case last week , and since has identified five others , ” The Times wrote .
“ And if that many are being caught each day , an unknown but significant number are getting through undetected , Border Patrol agents say.
” “ The journey to the U.S. border puts migrants in poor conditions , ” a Homeland Security official told The Washington Times .
“ We don ’ t know if they have come into contact with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is no passport , medical history , or travel manifest.
” President Trump has suggested that he might move to close the southern border , but so far has made no attempt to do so .
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad F. Wolf raised the issue Tuesday with the House Homeland Security Committee , saying that illegal immigration presents a unique threat compared to legal travelers from China , who are being screened on arrival .
“ The individuals that are coming in at our 11 airports that are being funneled , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history , of their medical history .
We ’ re not going to have that same set of fidelity for the individuals if this continues to grow at the southwest border , ” he said .
Mr. Wolf also said the spread of the virus in Mexico creates new complications , after the U.S. has forced tens of thousands of asylum-seekers to wait in that country while their cases are proceeding in American immigration courts .
Late last week a federal court issued a ruling that could result in thousands of them being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but Mr. Wolf said it could be a danger spot should the courts demand their entry .

“All told, more than 1,000 migrants a day are caught attempting to sneak in illegally from Mexico, which detected its first case last week, and since has identified five others,” The Times wrote. “And if that many are being caught each day, an unknown but significant number are getting through undetected, Border Patrol agents say.”
“The journey to the U.S. border puts migrants in poor conditions,” a Homeland Security official told The Washington Times. “We don’t know if they have come into contact with someone who has the flu, there is no passport, medical history, or travel manifest.”
President Trump has suggested that he might move to close the southern border, but so far has made no attempt to do so.

We are living through historic times.
America is blessed with President Donald Trump, a man who will likely go down in history as the courageous leader who saved Democracy and the West.
Every day is a new success, new record or new victory for this president.
But not everyone is enjoying this massive American success.
Democrats, in their lust for power, have persecuted this president ever since he announced his run for president.
To this day they continue to harass, abuse and lie about this historic president.
On Wednesday the very talented ‘Conservative Momma‘ posted another of her EPIC TAKEDOWNS of the Democrat Party.
Here is Conservative Momma’s portrayal of this week’s Democrat Party strategy session.

** Garland, TX – Elton Simpson
** Orlando Pulse Nightclub – Omar Mateen
** NY Attacks – Ahmad Rahami
** Ft. Lauderdale Airport – Esteban Santiago
Pulse Nightclub terrorists Omar Mateen murdered 49 gays on a dance floor before shooting himself.
The Boston Marathon bombers killed three and injured 264 people.
And then it took the FBI days to figure out the identity of the killers.
The FBI was looking at these individuals but dropped the investigations before these Islamists went on their deadly killing sprees.
This is really bad news for America’s premier law enforcement agency.

The centerpiece of the cult film, Weekend at Bernie’s, is the corpse carted about by two party animals. Through the magic of Hollywood that Bernie did not stink. The same cannot be said of Bernie Sanders and his crotchety escapee from the old man muppet balcony, Joe Biden. Yes, I have heard the gushing and swooning over the alleged resurrection of Sleepy Joe who was declared the winner in 9 of the 14 contests. But look at the actual votes and percentages compared to 2016 and the outlook is not as rosy.
Here are the major conclusions:
The Democrats are on track for a brokered convention. Biden’s wins were not dominating in terms of taking most of the delegates. Yes, he is in the delegate lead but the numbers do not appear to support a first ballot win.
Bernie did far worse in 2020 in term of percentage of votes, which means he won fewer delegates in these contests than he did in 2016.
It appear Republicans engaged in an Operation Chaos by voting in the Democrat primaries.
Trump is likely to win at least 5 of the 9 states that had open primaries.
Trump is well positioned to win in at least 3 of the 5 closed primary states in the general election.
The Democrat establishment effort to stop Bernie appears to be achieving some success. Still, he will be a factor in the Democrat Convention in July and there is no sign that his supporters will eagerly switch to vote for Biden in the General.
Let us start with the 9 OPEN PRIMARY states:
Alabama: As I predicted in Tuesday’s pre-primary article, the total votes were slightly higher compared to 2016. Bernie got less votes this year than in 2016. Biden scooped up 40 of the 52 delegates. And Trump, in a non-competitive primary, almost doubled the total number of Democrat votes.

Minnesota: I show no votes for Trump. He was awarded all the Republican delegates. It appears that many Republicans turned out and voted in the Democrat primary. Bernie almost doubled his votes but his percentage of the votes was cut in half. Bottomline, the top three Democrats carved up the delegates with no decisive winner.
Hillary 2016– 78,381 Biden — 287,464 (39%) Bernie 2016– 126,229 (62%) Bernie — 222,530 (30%) Warren — 114,754 (15%)
Tennessee: Donald Trump won 380,276. Democrat turnout was larger, but that may reflect Republicans and Independents crossing over to vote in the Democrat primary. Opeation chaos?

Now for the closed primaries:
California: Trump won 1,483,642. Only 93% of the vote is in. The numbers on the Democrat side are quite interesting. They are running well below the numbers that turned out in 2016. Less than 50% so far. What the hell?

Colorado: Comparison to 2016 is not valid. Colorado had a caucus system. They did a primary this year. In terms of percentage Bernie underperformed significantly compared to 2016. Biden and Bloomberg combined exceeded Bernie’s votes. Trump’s 599,816 was more than the top three Democrats combined.

Massachusetts: The top three Democrats did not match the vote totals racked up by Hillary and Bernie in 2016. Total Democrat turnout in the 2020 contest roughly matched that of 2016. Bernie did much worse in terms of votes and percentage compared to 2016. Trump is not competitive, it appears, in Massachusetts.
Hillary 2016– 603,784 Biden — 470,294 (34%) Bernie 2016– 586,716 (49%) Bernie — 373,173 (27%) Warren — 299,733 (21%)

HILLARY .
JUST .
GO .
AWAY .

According to The Daily Mail, former 2016 Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refuses to accept blame for literally every mistake and misstep that she has made during her 40+ years in American politics.
Hillary Clinton claims she is the ‘the most investigated innocent person in America’ in a new Hulu documentary about her life.
Set to premiere in full this Friday on the steaming network Hulu, the Clinton inner-circle claims that she has a “superpower” and don’t dare question Hillary’s belief that the world has been working against her since day one. Clinton even claims that the media was working against her in 2016 and that she still doesn’t understand the big deal about her handling of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi or her illegal use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.
And if you are ready for a real dose of BS, Lady Clinton defends the fact that both she and her husband made over $150million in paid speeches from organizations, businesses and groups that had business with or ties to the United States government while she had immense power over said groups as Secretary of State.
The former Secretary of State called the Benghazi scandal a ‘character assault’ and dismissed criticism of her Wall Street speeches which have earned her and her husband Bill Clinton and estimated $153 million.
In the one instance of honesty, she does admit that maybe God just doesn’t like her and that something about her “just pisses him off.”
‘And I don’t know why. There’s an old joke about an old guy who is walking along the edge of the cliff, he slips and as he’s falling down and he grabs onto a branch and he’s holding on and he’s praying, going “God, God I’ve lived a good life, I’ve done everything I supposed to do…please Lord help me, help me.” ‘And then this voice comes out and says “There’s just something about you that pisses me off”‘.
Yes, Mrs. Clinton, for once you are right. And that “something” is the decades long criminal enterprise known as the Clinton Crime Cartel, your shaming and attacks on your husband’s rape victims, and your wanton disregard for the rule of law. The list is long but thankfully the American people saw right through you on election day in 2016.
HILLARY. JUST. GO. AWAY.


thegatewaypundit--2020-03-06--Chuck Schumer Did Not Get Away With His Supreme Court Threats Thanks to National Review Reporter Ale

Chuck Schumer Did Not Get Away With His Supreme Court Threats Thanks to National Review Reporter Alexandra DeSanctis Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-NY ) most likely would have gotten away with his threats to Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh were it not for the on scene reporting of National Review reporter Alexandra DeSanctis whose tweet was apparently the only contemporaneous report made of Schumer ’ s threats .
Schumer spoke at a radical pro-choice rally held in front of the Supreme Court Wednesday morning as the Court was hearing arguments in a Louisiana abortion law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by name Gorsuch and Kavanaugh .
DeSanctis live tweeted Schumer , “ I ’ m here in front of the Supreme Court for the rallies as the Court considers June Medical , and Chuck Schumer is addressing the pro-abortion crowd .
Lots of boos when he mentions Kavanaugh and Gorsuch…Schumer : “ I want to tell you Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch : You have unleashed a whirlwind , and you will pay the price.
” Note the time stamps of 10:08 and 10:09 a.m. EST .
Schumer ’ s threats went otherwise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media outlets were there covering the rally as this was the first major abortion related case the court has heard in years .
Indeed Schumer said in his speech he singled out Gorsuch and Kavanaugh because this was their first major abortion case since both were appointed to the Court by President Trump .
When this writer saw DeSanctis ’ tweet reporting Schumer ’ s threat a little before 1 p.m. EST I went looking for confirmation from other reports .
There were none .
I went looking for video clips .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mainstream media was protecting a Democrat from scandal .
It wasn ’ t until I found the archived live stream video of the rally on YouTube posted by rally organizer the Center for Reproductive Rights that I found confirmation–and then some !
While DeSanctis thankfully reported Schumer ’ s threat , it was not an exact quote and what was left off took Schumer ’ s threats to a new level .
That and the visuals of Schumer turning and pointing his finger at the Court as he named Justices Gorsuch and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he screamed his threat to the cheers of the mob .
When I saw that and heard Schumer scream the previously unreported threat , “ …You won ’ t know what hit you !
If you go forward with these awful decisions !
” , I knew this was an unprecedented mafia-style threat against the Court that would send shock waves though D.C. and the nation .
The full quote was : “ I want to tell you Gorsuch !
And I want to tell you Kavanaugh !
You have released the whirlwind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
You won ’ t know what hit you !
If you go forward with these awful decisions… ” I set to work and had my TGP report with my complete transcript and context of Schumer ’ s threats published at 1:45 p.m. EST .
My report had the YouTube rally video embedded and cued to the start of Schumer ’ s speech .
Ten minutes before that , MRC Latino Director Jorge Bonilla posted the first video clip of Schumer ’ s threats at 1:35 p.m. EST , which I later embedded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clip has over 4 million views as of Thursday night .
Schumer has since been rebuked by Chief Justice John Roberts , President Donald Trump , Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-KY ) and is the subject of a censure resolution brought by Sen. Josh Hawley ( R-MO ) .
A defiant Schumer excused his threats in a Senate floor speech Thursday morning by saying he is from Brooklyn and said he regretted his words but that he was defending a woman ’ s right to choose .
Were it not for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have gotten away with his threats .
Perhaps a Presidential Medal of Freedom is in her future ?
DeSanctis ’ reports on the case and the rally :

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) most likely would have gotten away with his threats to Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh were it not for the on scene reporting of National Review reporter Alexandra DeSanctis whose tweet was apparently the only contemporaneous report made of Schumer’s threats.

Lots of boos when he mentions Kavanaugh and Gorsuch…Schumer: “I want to tell you Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch: You have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price.”

Schumer: “I want to tell you Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch: You have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price.” — Alexandra DeSanctis Marr (@xan_desanctis) March 4, 2020
Note the time stamps of 10:08 and 10:09 a.m. EST.
Schumer’s threats went otherwise unreported for hours afterward even though major media outlets were there covering the rally as this was the first major abortion related case the court has heard in years. Indeed Schumer said in his speech he singled out Gorsuch and Kavanaugh because this was their first major abortion case since both were appointed to the Court by President Trump.
When this writer saw DeSanctis’ tweet reporting Schumer’s threat a little before 1 p.m. EST I went looking for confirmation from other reports. There were none. I went looking for video clips. There were none. It appeared once again the mainstream media was protecting a Democrat from scandal.
It wasn’t until I found the archived live stream video of the rally on YouTube posted by rally organizer the Center for Reproductive Rights that I found confirmation–and then some!
While DeSanctis thankfully reported Schumer’s threat, it was not an exact quote and what was left off took Schumer’s threats to a new level. That and the visuals of Schumer turning and pointing his finger at the Court as he named Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and then shook his fist as he screamed his threat to the cheers of the mob.
When I saw that and heard Schumer scream the previously unreported threat, “…You won’t know what hit you! If you go forward with these awful decisions!”, I knew this was an unprecedented mafia-style threat against the Court that would send shock waves though D.C. and the nation. The full quote was:
“I want to tell you Gorsuch! And I want to tell you Kavanaugh! You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you! If you go forward with these awful decisions…”
I set to work and had my TGP report with my complete transcript and context of Schumer’s threats published at 1:45 p.m. EST. My report had the YouTube rally video embedded and cued to the start of Schumer’s speech.
Ten minutes before that, MRC Latino Director Jorge Bonilla posted the first video clip of Schumer’s threats at 1:35 p.m. EST, which I later embedded in my report. Bonilla’s clip has over 4 million views as of Thursday night.

Schumer has since been rebuked by Chief Justice John Roberts, President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and is the subject of a censure resolution brought by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). A defiant Schumer excused his threats in a Senate floor speech Thursday morning by saying he is from Brooklyn and said he regretted his words but that he was defending a woman’s right to choose.
Were it not for Alexandra DeSanctis, Schumer very likely would have gotten away with his threats. Perhaps a Presidential Medal of Freedom is in her future?

They must realize and embrace the fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sanders nomination and the democratic socialist , anti-establishment movement that came with it that brought the avalanche of key nominations and the victories in South Carolina and the Super Tuesday states .

“ The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr ’ s statements , made at a time when the public did not have access to the redacted version of the Mueller Report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and portions of the redacted version of the Mueller Report that conflict with those statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary , ” Walton said .

The Judge said US Attorney General Bill Barr ‘lacked candor’ and accused him of intentionally creating a misleading summary of ‘principal conclusions’ to create a “one-sided narrative” about the Mueller report.
In early 2019, AG Barr took over the Mueller investigation and put an end to the abusive Russia witch hunt.
In March of last year Barr was given the gargantuan Weissmann Mueller report and quickly released a letter summarizing the “principal conclusions” from the investigation.
A few weeks later the entire Mueller report was released, save for the grand jury material redactions, but the judge is accusing Barr of intentionally spinning the Mueller report in Trump’s favor.
“The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr’s statements, made at a time when the public did not have access to the redacted version of the Mueller Report to assess the veracity of his statements, and portions of the redacted version of the Mueller Report that conflict with those statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary,” Walton said.
The Judge said he wants to review an unredacted copy of Mueller’s report before making a decision on whether to make the redactions subject to FOIA.
“Accordingly, the Court concludes that it must conduct an in camera review of the unredacted version of the Mueller Report to assess de novo the applicability of the particular exemptions claimed by the Department for withholding information in the Mueller Report pursuant to the FOIA,” Walton said.


thegatewaypundit--2020-03-06--Liberals Cheer Dixie Chicks’ Creepy “Political” Comeback Song, And Insist It’s About Trump

Since the day Donald Trump launched his campaign for President of the United States , the media and the Democrats have literally accused him of every dirty deed they themselves have committed , or continue to commit on a daily basis .
Trump is racist , he is anti-gay , he is controlled by Vladimir Putin .
They pushed so many Fake News stories at breakneck speeds , that some Americans became overwhelmed or unsure about how they viewed Trump and thanks to Robert Mueller handed over the House to Democrats in 2018 .
That is the literal definition of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ practice of making people unsure of their own reality and choices .
However , yet again , when President Trump responds to these demonstrably false allegations and attacks on his administration , the Democrats and media claim that Trump is the one “ gaslighting ” the American people .
So it comes as no surprise to see the Democrats and media are celebrating the new single from the Dixie Chicks , their first release in 14 years .
Predictably , it ’ s a man-hate song about “ gaslighting ” , with an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leftwing rags like VOX have been cheerleading the release and it ’ s inherent political nature… and it ’ s President Trump ’ s fault as usual !
The term “ gaslighter , ” which comes from a 1944 film in which a man tries to convince his wife that she ’ s crazy , has become a politically charged term since the 2016 election .
“ Donald Trump is gaslighting America , ” Lauren Duca wrote in a much-shared essay on Teen Vogue , arguing that Trump was trying to make Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or not , “ Gaslighter ” is political by its very existence .
As you well know , we at The Gateway Pundit do not believe in “ cancel culture ” and we couldn ’ t care less about Country music retreads like The Dixie Chicks .
However , since Democrats and the leftie rags like VOX have to make it about President Trump , we wanted to remind everyone that it ’ s not President Trump who is “ gaslighting ” the American people — it ’ s the Fake News media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ videos from the Dixie Chicks won ’ t change that .

These examples are repeated throughout the country, courageous prisoners are speaking out on the violation of human rights by Maduro’s socialist regime.
