Former Vice President Joe Biden has a history of being gaffe-prone .

However , if there is a lesson to be learned from 2016 , it is that polls can be wrong , especially when it comes to Donald Trump .

There is a reason that some within the Democratic Party have warned that Biden is not the answer .
Trump speaks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a seemingly limitless supply of energy .
In a general election , this would provide a stark contrast to Biden .
Every time Biden finishes speaking , his team breathes a sigh of relief .
It ’ s difficult to see such a campaign prevailing over Trump .
Even though he denies that he is slipping mentally , Biden himself has acknowledged that his age is an issue .
Given all of these concerns , the Biden vice presidential pick may be one of the most consequential decisions of the election .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
After Super Tuesday , we will see if he has the stamina to stick it out , much less face up to Trump .
In the meantime , he could take a lesson from Barney Fife and only quote what he knows .

On Monday, Biden put the spotlight on his issues once again when he struggled to quote the Declaration of Independence.
As many have noted, it was painful to watch.
First Joe Biden thought “Super Tuesday” was on Thursday. Then, in the same rally, he stumbled through The Preamble of the Declaration and forgot the word ‘equal’. “We hold these truths to be self evident. All men and women created by the, you know, the thing…” What a mess! pic.twitter.com/tYlytgNjrx — Trump War Room – Text WOKE to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) March 2, 2020
Is this really the guy the Democratic Party wants to put up against President Donald Trump?
As the campaign continues, it seems like there are daily episodes of the former vice president suffering some cringeworthy mental lapse.
Despite denials from Biden, he seems to have difficulty keeping things straight. At the very least, he appears to be out of touch. At worst, he is actually suffering from memory loss.
Perhaps the pressure of the campaign is getting to him. Perhaps he is simply being more thoroughly covered by the media.
Either way, many people are getting nervous about Biden’s competency.
Biden has always been a politician who is not afraid to say radical things to attack his opponents.
Even taking that into consideration, it is hard not to feel sorry for him here. Some of his statements are so ridiculous they seem more like jokes.

Over the past year, more people are noticing that this goes beyond the “crazy old Joe” adage. There are indicators that he just not mentally sound.
With the primary field narrowing, some in the Democratic Party are sounding the alarm bell about the candidacy of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Sanders has steadily gained steam with a platform that has implications not just for the November election but for the future of the Democratic Party.
There are plenty of people who think handing control over to a democratic socialist will be a blow from which the party cannot recover.
The truth is sinking in that Sanders is not preaching a moderate message of unity like that of the successful 2008 Obama campaign.
Sanders’ message is one of radical change that a majority of the country may not be ready to embrace.
As the Democratic establishment panics over the thought of a Sanders candidacy, it seems to be lurching desperately toward any perceived moderate with a chance of surpassing his delegate count.

westernjournal--2020-03-05--‘I’m the Majority’: 4-Minute Clip from Pro-Gun Candidate in NC Should Be Seen by Every American

Lost in all the Super Tuesday coverage this week was a significant political victory for the Second Amendment , courtesy of a non-politician outsider in North Carolina who has gained national prominence in recent years for his passionate defense of our right to keep and bear arms .
That man would be Mark Robinson , a former factory worker and day care operator from Greensboro , North Carolina , who just won the Republican nomination to be the next lieutenant governor of the state , according to The Associated Press .
Robinson was one of several Republican candidates for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seasoned politicians with past electoral victories to their credit .
Despite having no prior political experience , however , Robinson garnered a plurality of votes to avoid a run-off and win the primary contest outright .
What likely helped push Robinson over the top in terms of support among voters was his impassioned defense of gun rights during a Greensboro city council meeting in April 2018 that went viral and gained Robinson national recognition among the Second Amendment-supporting community .
TRENDING : Warren 's Rough Night Made Even Worse as Tulsi Gabbard Piles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delivered in response to a knee-jerk attempt by the city council to forward all proceeds from an upcoming gun show to a gun control group , a ludicrous attempt at a compromise after the anti-gun mayor had suggested the gun show be banned outright in the wake of the Parkland , Florida , school shooting .
After introducing himself to begin his speech , Robinson directly addressed the council members and said , “ When are you all going to start standing up for the majority , and here ’ s who the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ majority.
” “ I ’ m a law-abiding citizen who ’ s never shot anybody , never committed a serious crime , never committed a felony .
I ’ ve never done anything like that , ” he continued .
“ But it seems like every time we have one of these shootings , nobody wants to put the blame where it goes , which is at the shooter ’ s feet .
You want to put it at my feet .
“ You want to turn around and restrict my right — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out in black and white .
You want to restrict my right to buy a firearm and protect myself from some of the very people you ’ re all talking about in here tonight.
” Calling the demonization of law-abiding gun owners “ ridiculous , ” Robinson said , “ It does not make any sense .
The law-abiding citizens of this community and many communities around this country — we ’ re the first ones taxed and the last ones considered and the first ones punished when things like this happen.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that are being taken away .
That ’ s the reason why I came out here today , gun show or no gun show , NRA or no NRA , ” he said .
“ I ’ m here to stand up for the law-abiding citizens of this community.
” RELATED : Biden Announces His Gun Control Czar Will Be Beto O'Rourke , Who Wants To Forcibly Seize Legal Guns Robinson went on to suggest that even if lawful gun owners complied with confiscatory gun control laws and turned in all of their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not do so and would remain armed .
He further wondered how the police — who , as he pointed out , had been “ demonized , ” “ criminalized ” and “ vilified ” on top of being undermanned and overworked — would be able to do anything to disarm the criminals who retained their weapons .
“ So the criminals are gon na hold on to their guns , they ’ re still gon na have them .
They ’ re still gon na break in my house and they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them .
And guess who ’ s gon na be the one that suffers — it ’ s gon na be me , ” Robinson said .
“ Well , I ’ m here to tell you tonight it is not going to happen without a fight.
” “ And when I say fight I don ’ t mean shots fired , I don ’ t mean fists thrown , ” he clarified .
“ I mean I ’ m going to come down here to this city council and raise hell , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do , until you listen to the majority of the people in this city , and I am the majority.
” “ The bottom line is , when that Second Amendment was written , whether the Framers liked it or not , they wrote it for everybody .

First things first , though , as Robinson must now defeat his Democratic opponent — who won ’ t be chosen until a run-off election is held in May — during the general election in November .

“The bottom line is, when that Second Amendment was written, whether the Framers liked it or not, they wrote it for everybody.
“And I am everybody, and the law-abiding citizens of this city are everybody, and we want our rights and we want to keep our rights, and by God, we’re gonna keep them, come hell or high water.”
Robinson’s speech vaulted him toward the forefront of the gun rights community, and now, following his unexpected primary victory in the lieutenant governor’s race, he has the chance to take his fight to protect the right to keep and bear arms far beyond the city council-level to the entire state.
First things first, though, as Robinson must now defeat his Democratic opponent — who won’t be chosen until a run-off election is held in May — during the general election in November.

westernjournal--2020-03-05--Less Than 24 Hours After Bernie Flops, Americans’ Confidence in Future of Health Care Explodes

You know , perhaps it was not coronavirus that was sinking the stock market .
Perhaps it was the surge of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont .
Following former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s killer performance on Super Tuesday , health care stocks and the market itself came roaring back , Fox Business reported .
Wednesday saw the Dow Jones industrial average climb more than 1,173 points while the Standard & Poor ’ s 500 index rose four percent and the Nasdaq composite almost reached four percent .
MarketWatch linked those changing numbers in part to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All ” proposal .
CFRA analyst Sel Hardy said that Sanders ’ signature plan would lead “ to the termination of existing health insurance plans , ” the outlet reported .
TRENDING : Warren 's Rough Night Made Even Worse as Tulsi Gabbard Piles on the Insults “ In terms of our overall outlook for our stocks , unless there is a major shift in market conditions , Centene Corp. , UnitedHealth , Humana Inc. , and Cigna Corp. are set for double-digit top-line growth in the next three years , in our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strong fundamentals , ” Hardy wrote in a note to clients .
Keith Speights of The Motley Fool wrote that the rise in health care and health insurance stocks is directly linked to Sanders ’ faltering on Tuesday .
“ Sen .
Sanders advocates a Medicare for All program that would largely eliminate the need for health insurance .
His strength in the ongoing presidential campaign caused investors to worry about what might happen with big companies including Anthem , Humana , Cigna , UnitedHealth Group , and CVS Health ( which owns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Now , however , former Vice President Biden appears to be the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination .
Several candidates have dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden , with former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg the most recent to do so.

You know, perhaps it was not coronavirus that was sinking the stock market. Perhaps it was the surge of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Following former Vice President Joe Biden’s killer performance on Super Tuesday, health care stocks and the market itself came roaring back, Fox Business reported.
Wednesday saw the Dow Jones industrial average climb more than 1,173 points while the Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose four percent and the Nasdaq composite almost reached four percent.
MarketWatch linked those changing numbers in part to fears over Sanders’ “Medicare for All” proposal.
CFRA analyst Sel Hardy said that Sanders’ signature plan would lead “to the termination of existing health insurance plans,” the outlet reported.
“In terms of our overall outlook for our stocks, unless there is a major shift in market conditions, Centene Corp., UnitedHealth, Humana Inc., and Cigna Corp. are set for double-digit top-line growth in the next three years, in our view, as they continue to have strong fundamentals,” Hardy wrote in a note to clients.
Keith Speights of The Motley Fool wrote that the rise in health care and health insurance stocks is directly linked to Sanders’ faltering on Tuesday.
“Sen. Sanders advocates a Medicare for All program that would largely eliminate the need for health insurance. His strength in the ongoing presidential campaign caused investors to worry about what might happen with big companies including Anthem, Humana, Cigna, UnitedHealth Group, and CVS Health (which owns Aetna),” Speights wrote.
“Now, however, former Vice President Biden appears to be the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Several candidates have dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden, with former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg the most recent to do so.”

Speights warned that Sanders could still win the nomination, and that if he does, “healthcare stocks, in general, and health insurance stocks, in particular, will likely be highly volatile.”
Democrats always present an existential threat to the stock market, but Sanders and his free-ride plans present an even more prominent danger than usual.
Coronavirus scares likely had something to do with the dip in the market, but it is tough not to see the correlation between Sanders taking a pounding and the market bouncing back.
It goes to show what many of us have said all along. Electing a Democrat, particularly a socialist, as president would annihilate the economy.
Not that Biden would be much better. He has moved to the left on many issues, including a much more relaxed stance on illegal immigration.
There is also the issue of Biden’s advanced years. If he were to pick a progressive vice president who would be a heartbeat away from the presidency, it could be another downer for the market.
Biden does not advocate a “Medicare for All” system right now, but rest assured that is where the Democratic Party is heading.
One Super Tuesday victory by the lesser of two evils is not going to stop that train.
That is why it is important to elect not only President Donald Trump again in November, but also a Republican House and Senate to finally fix health care.

(Never mind the fact that climate activists themselves have admitted there is more to this agenda than protecting the environment. There are power systems to rebuild and a global economy to dismantle.)
Incorporating children has always been a critical goal of environmental activism.
Indoctrination of millennials kicked into high gear back in 1992 with “FernGully: The Last Rainforest,” an animated film in which forest inhabitants fight to save their home from the evils of pollution and the logging industry.
For decades, the culture has been obsessed with pushing gloom-and-doom environmentalist messages on children.
The movement culminated in 2019 with the selection of a child as the new global face of leftist environmentalism.

Instead of encouraging her to continue in school, major media outlets have been eager to celebrate her commitment to the cause.
Many conservatives have pointed out the absurdity of Thunberg receiving such accolades in light of her rather scant accomplishments.

“Now that Zhong is second-guessing the widely believed origin of the virus,” he wrote, “it is time for the U.S. and the international community to forcefully pursue this question.
“We thus respectfully urge you to take lead in this endeavor as a major element of your mandate:
“Press China to be transparent in all respects, and to welcome and facilitate international investigations on the question of whether, and how, the coronavirus was originated from China. In this connection, the United States, in cooperation with other governments, WHO, and other relevant international bodies, should press China to be open to and cooperate with such investigations.”
Before he took over the United States’ response to coronavirus, Pence had praised China for its “transparency” on the virus.
“We think that China has demonstrated an unprecedented level of transparency,” Pence said in early February, according to CNBC.
Whether this was meant for public consumption, China has had issues with transparency in this department, including reprimanding the doctor who helped blow the whistle on the virus on social media for “illegal and false” information in January.
That doctor, Li Wenliang, would later die from the virus.

Planned Parenthood supporter Katy Perry has announced her own pregnancy in a new music video, a celebration that runs counter to the abortion industry’s business of death.
The Perry video, “Never Worn White,” was released Thursday.
“Honestly, I was getting way too fat to hide it, so I was like, ‘Well, I think this song would be a great reveal! Let’s start there,” Perry told SiriusXM host Mike Piff. “And that’s how I communicate things — I communicate through music.”
Years before Perry communicated the good news through music, she took to Instagram in a major show of support for abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
“It’s time to turn words into action,” Perry wrote.
“There are so many steps to take, but my first vow is to support organizations that may have their funding support taken from them in the future by the government.”
Along with the lengthy praise of Planned Parenthood was proof of a donation to the organization for $10,000.
Perhaps the irony is lost on the singer, but her five-figure donation went to prop up a group that has no qualms about killing unborn children like Perry’s.
While it’s unclear if having her first child will change the singer’s position on abortion, what is clear is that the pro-life movement is in dire need of more celebrity voices.
Do you think Perry will change her mind on abortion after having a child? Yes No

Prior to his diagnosis, Driscoll lived a vibrant and athletic lifestyle, active in school sports.
“I played basketball and football my entire life and was in great shape. I didn’t know how to accept it,” he said.
But the teen forged ahead with a positive attitude and a team of supportive family and friends, and in January, he walked down a familiar hospital hallway to ring a shiny golden bell, signifying the end of his battle with cancer.

Even the White House has requested an investigation into the origins of the killer virus.
Unfortunately, any investigation into where the deadly illness allegedly began will be massively hindered by the fact that the building is no longer standing.
