Confident that Sanders was primed for a knockout punch of the Democratic establishment on Tuesday , the left-wing host and California congressional candidate threw an epic tantrum as the results came in .

“They are role models to the next generation.”
Trump noted that her Be Best initiative tied in with the event to honor women.
“Without positive support, guidance and well-being, which are just some of the attributes today’s children need, they will not enter adulthood with the empathy and strength needed to help others as selflessly as these women here today,” she said.
The 2020 award winners came from Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and Zimbabwe, according to Fox Business.
Zarifa Ghafari, 26, who is mayor of a town in Afghanistan, spoke on behalf of the honorees to thank the U.S. for its leadership.
“It was not so long ago that most women were considered property, and sadly, in some parts of the world, it is still the same,” Ghafari said. “Throughout the modern era, there has been one global leader in the fight for women’s rights, and that’s the United States of America. To the American people, to the American government, let me say: Thank you. Thank you for all you have done to improve conditions for women around the world.”
The first lady was introduced by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who praised her efforts on behalf of women.
“And now — now I want you to meet someone who isn’t an ‘everyday’ woman but rather someone that is known in all corners of the world,” Pompeo said.
“The first event she hosted at the White House after her husband’s inauguration was for International Women’s Day,” he said.
“She traveled solo to four countries in Africa, meeting with children and families. Two years ago, she launched the Be Best awareness campaign – an effort to support the well-being of our youth. She represents our country with enormous warmth and elegance and grace to hundreds of world leaders abroad and at the White House. We’ve seen her at the president’s side consoling Americans at times of tremendous loss and tragedy.”
“We’ve spotted her on the tarmac at 2 a.m. to welcome home returning American hostages, and we’ve seen her face light up when she’s hugging children around the world and here at home,” he added. “And while I’m guessing that she is happiest being called Barron’s mom, please join me in welcoming the first lady of the United States of America, Melania Trump.”

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination after a poor showing on Super Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
Warren didn’t win a single contest on Tuesday, when voters in 14 states cast their ballots for the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
Worst of all for the progressive senator, she finished in third place in her home state of Massachusetts, behind Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, who won the state.
The New York Times, CNN and NBC News all reported that Warren was dropping out, citing unnamed sources.
Earlier this week, Warren’s campaign had seemed to indicate that she would continue her campaign, no matter what happened on Super Tuesday, according to a Sunday memo from her campaign manager, Roger Lau.
After Tuesday, “all of our 400 Super Tuesday organizing staffers will be re-deployed to states voting in March or April,” Lau wrote, according to Fox News.
“After Wisconsin, nearly one-third of the pledged delegates will still be waiting to be elected, and there will be a three-week gap between electing delegates for the first time since voting began,” Lau added.
“In the road to the nomination, the Wisconsin primary is halftime, and the convention in Milwaukee is the final play,” he said.
“Our grassroots campaign is built to compete in every state and territory and ultimately prevail at the national convention in Milwaukee.”

But that strategy appears to have gone out the door after Tuesday’s results.
Warren’s exit from the race should provide a big boost to the campaign of Sanders, a fellow progressive who won the state of California on Tuesday but who lost the night to Biden.
Earlier this week, Biden earned the endorsements of former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, both of whom dropped out.
And on Wednesday morning, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who failed to win a single state on Tuesday, also dropped out and endorsed the former vice president.
With Warren’s exit, the Democratic primary is now a two-man race pitting Biden, a so-called moderate, against Sanders, an avowed Democratic socialist.
In a tweet early Wednesday morning, meanwhile, President Donald Trump said it was “selfish” of Warren to stay in the race.
“So selfish for Elizabeth Warren to stay in the race. She has Zero chance of even coming close to winning, but hurts Bernie badly,” he wrote.

westernjournal--2020-03-05--2 Fox Stars Gave Donna Brazile a Lesson in Manners After Outrageous ‘Go to Hell’ Comment

Two of Fox News ’ veteran journalists set Donna Brazile straight on Tuesday after the FNC contributor told Republican Party chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to “ Go to hell.
” The incident happened during Fox ’ s “ America ’ s Newsroom ” earlier that morning .
Co-host Sandra Smith asked Brazile to respond McDaniel ’ s prediction that Democrats would likely have a brokered convention this July , “ which will be rigged against Bernie [ Sanders ] if those superdelegates have their way on that second vote.
” “ To that you say what Donna ?
” Smith asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should , “ Stay the hell out of our race.
” TRENDING : Calif. Man with Coronavirus Says It 's Easier Than a Cold , Shows Trump Was Right About Not Panicking “ I get sick and tired … of listening to Republicans tell me and the Democrats about our process , ” she continued .
“ First of all , [ Republicans ] don ’ t have a process , ” Brazile charged .
“ They are canceling primaries .
They have winner-take-all .
They don ’ t have the kind of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ side.
” The 60-year-old next honed in on McDaniel .
“ For people to use Russian talking points to sow division among Americans , that is stupid , ” Brazile said .
“ So Ronna , go to hell !
Brazile doubled down : “ No , go to hell !
I ’ m tired of it !
” During a Super Tuesday election night panel , Fox News political anchor Bret Baier asked Brazile to address her harsh words toward McDaniel .
“ I just want to say that your tone has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ You came in here a little bit hot and bothered , and you were spicy today.
” RELATED : Warren Voters Accuse Own Party of Sexism After Devastating Super Tuesday Defeat “ And you had a little dust-up with Ronna McDaniel .
Can you just explain that ?
” he asked .
“ I ’ m a forgiving kind of person , ” Brazile began , which was kind of an odd response , given McDaniel really should be considered the aggrieved party .
“ I want to thank Chris @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Yes , all three men , ” she continued .
“ Juan gave me the fist bump .
Chris gave me the talk .
And Brit reminded me that , you know , sometimes you don ’ t , you shouldn ’ t call people out right.
” However , the former interim Democratic National Committee chairwoman did not promise to do better in the future .
“ But let me just say this , as long as I ’ m alive , I ’ m going to speak truth to power @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I want to make sure that the chairwoman , I know what her job is like , but I want her to understand , to respect the process on the Democratic side .
He knows , Karl [ Rove ] and I talk about this all the time .
Democracy is messy , but do not tell the world that the Democratic Party is trying to rig it for one candidate .
We ’ re trying to make sure everybody gets a delegate.
” According to Democratic Party rules , if no candidate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pledged delegates from primary elections needed to secure the nomination during the first round of voting at their convention in Milwaukee in July , a second ballot will follow .
Newsweek reported that at that point , 771 superdelegates will be added in the mix and the pledged delegates become free up to vote for another candidate .
The vote then continues until a candidate wins the majority of the 4,750 delegates .
Superdelegates are party leaders and elected officials who are also able to vote for whomever they please .
“ Politics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ I think Donna was out of line with her response .
Of course , we all recognize that the Democrats did put the thumb on the scale for Hillary Clinton in 2016 , because of Donna , because of the book she wrote.
” Brazile wrote in her 2017 book “ Hacks ” that the DNC was fully under the control of the Clinton campaign .
“ This isn ’ t Russian talking points , ” McDaniel added , regarding a potential effort from the Democratic establishment to keep Sanders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is something that The New York Times has said recently as they interviewed 93 superdelegates.
” The Times reported last week that it interviewed 93 superdelegates following Sanders ’ s win in Nevada “ and found overwhelming opposition to handing the Vermont senator the nomination if he arrived [ at the convention ] with the most delegates but fell short of a majority.
” “ So I felt very in my lane saying that this is happening , ” McDaniel explained .
“ I don ’ t think it ’ s something that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I think her response was a little out of line , and disproportionate to my comments earlier today.
” Right on , Ronna , for the perfect response to Brazile ’ s temper tantrum .

I understand the Supreme Court is now ostensibly a political organ .

It involves a Louisiana law similar to the Texas law the court struck down in Whole Woman ’ s Health v. Hellerstedt in 2016 , which required abortionists to have admitting privileges at a local hospital , among other things .
In that case , the court determined the Texas law didn ’ t pass the “ undue burden ” test established by the Planned Parenthood v. Casey ruling in 1992 .
In the case of the Louisiana bill , however , a lower court decided the law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on women seeking an abortion the way the Texas law did .
Abortion advocates have argued the law is merely designed to make getting an abortion more difficult .
The prospect of the court upholding a regulation on women being able to terminate a pregnancy at any time , understandably , has the left doing its usual conniption routine about conservatives doing violence to the Constitution .

So far, so Amy Schumer. Her distant relative, however, stepped up his game a bit.
The New York senator was the top-billed speaker at a Center for Reproductive Rights protest in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday as the case was being heard.
He was such a form which … well, you know how a bar cuts people off when they’re too sloshed? Schumer ought to have been cut off by whatever D.C. Starbucks he visited that morning:

I also know it’s a different month and all we can’t remember anything beyond this current news cycle, but it helps to remember what Schumer told Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts just last month on the floor of the Senate:

I mean, I think we all knew at the time that Schumer didn’t believe this. I didn’t think we’d be proven right so quickly.
Schumer’s threats were received well at the rally.
Chief Justice Roberts was not as amused, however.

“It’s a reference to the political price Republicans will pay for putting them on the court and a warning that the justices will unleash a major grass-roots movement on the issue of reproductive rights against the decision,” a Schumer spokesman said later on Wednesday, according to The Washington Post.
Except they’re not elected officials and can’t reap the whirlwind Schumer specifically said they would. And no, he wasn’t talking about Republicans — unless, of course, the macchiato got the best of him. (Really, D.C. area baristas — do a better job of figuring out when your customers should say when.)
Anyhow, this clip has been the subject of much conservative outrage on social media in the past 24 hours. I understand the impulse, but I can’t particularly bring myself to think about it too deeply, because Schumer clearly didn’t.
In terms of putting judges on the court, Schumer’s side lost.
To quote a famous political sage, elections have consequences.
That’s why, when Republicans got enough members in the Senate to filibuster Obama’s more outré judicial nominees, then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid eliminated the filibuster during the appointment process.
When Senate Majority Leader Reid became Senate Minority Leader Reid, Democrats still insisted the upper chamber consider Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland in a presidential election year. But alas, there were those pesky consequences.
As for the judges, well, they’re not going anywhere.
There’s nothing that can be done to them.
The likelihood of court-packing is minute at best, given that even the worst possible election result for Republicans would end with the only two court-packers left in the Democratic presidential field, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, running up a brick wall consisting of a slim Democrat majority in the Senate rejecting the idea because of moderates in their own party.
So what’s this threat? It’s sound and fury, signifying applause, and then nothing.

Radical-left Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has announced her official withdrawal from the 2020 Democratic presidential primary in light of a demoralizing failure to perform on Super Tuesday .

Warren turned heads in late 2019 specifically as she vied for support from the LGBT community , promising in a series of high-profile town halls and debates that her administration would greatly expand transgender rights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inmates .
As Warren suffered defeats in the first-to-vote states , however — claiming just eight delegates between Iowa , New Hampshire and Nevada — even campaign staffers began to express concern for her increasingly progressive platform ’ s potential to repel moderates .
