North Carolina Lt. Gov. Dan Forest won the GOP primary for Governor by a wide margin on Monday, and he will go onto challenge incumbent Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper in November.
“It’s a big night for the Forest campaign and for all the people that have worked so hard for so long,” he said during a victory speech at the N.C. Republican Party headquarters on Tuesday evening.
“Our job is to push forward with a positive campaign about what is best for the people of North Carolina,” he added.
Forest, who has been Lt. Gov since first being elected to the position in 2012, is a social conservative who gained fame for supporting the controversial 2016 “bathroom bill,” which was crafted to keep transgender perverts from accosting children in bathrooms.
“I was one of the biggest proponents of HB2 and I got the most votes of any one,” Forest said, referring to the “bathroom bill.”
“The U.S. Supreme Court, including Justice [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg, have said that women and children have the right to privacy in a bathroom,” he added. “But under the Charlotte ordinance, if a dude who claims to be a women drops his pants in a women’s locker room, there is nothing that law enforcement can do about it. It is no longer considered indecent exposure.”
Forest’s support for the legislation made him reviled in the eyes of the LGBT community and surrender-prone moderate Republicans, such as his primary challenger Rep. Holly Grange, who has vowed to support Forest after being crushed by him in Tuesday’s voting.
Democrats will hope to stop Forest by campaigning on handouts, giveaways, and enabling LGBT predators during this year’s general election.
“North Carolina Democrats are proud to once again support Governor Roy Cooper, a fighter for North Carolina families who is committed to moving our state forward,” North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Goodwin said. “Since 2016, Governor Cooper has fought for a better educated, healthier, and more prosperous North Carolina where people can have more money in their pockets and opportunities to live with purpose and abundance.
“He has prioritized raising teacher pay, expanding Medicaid, and strengthening our local economies over corporate tax cuts,” Goodwin added. “He’s offered the strong leadership and vision North Carolina deserves, and we will do everything we can to return him to the Governor’s mansion this fall.”
Forest will be tasked with stopping the state of North Carolina from “moving forward” into totalitarian socialism in November.
“Who do we want to be in North Carolina?” Forest asked. “In so many ways, I think our brightest days are yet ahead. We are blessed to live in the greatest country in the world, and we’re even doubly blessed to live in the greatest state in the greatest country in the world.
“I think our opportunity and possibility are endless,” he added.

Sen. Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) has won the Colorado primary , stemming the tide after sustaining many crushing losses in the Bible belt to begin Super Tuesday .

Sanders currently has 36 percent of the vote , with former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg getting 24 percent , former Vice President Joe Biden receiving 20 percent , Sen.

Although Sanders received a resounding victory in Colorado, he will not be receiving 100 percent of the state’s delegates. Candidates must break the 15 percent threshold statewide or within one of the state’s seven Congressional districts in order to receive some of the state’s 67 pledged delegates. As many as four different candidates could reach that threshold and lay claim to some of the state’s apportioned delegates.
There are 23 delegates that will be designated on a proportional statewide basis while 44 are assigned based on the results within the state’s seven Congressional districts. In addition, the state has another dozen superdelegates who may very well play a role in deciding the nominee at the DNC convention in Milwaukee, Wis. later this year, particularly if the convention is brokered after delegates cannot decide who the candidate is on the first ballot.
Biden gained the early momentum over Sanders and other contenders on Super Tuesday after he won in Virginia, North Carolina, and other delegate-rich southern states:
Joe Biden has been projected as the winner of the Virginia Democratic Primary, winning the state in overwhelming fashion and showing his appeal in southern states and to Black voters. The first round of Super Tuesday returns showed Biden carrying the state in a landslide. Both Bloomberg and Sanders had hoped to be competitive in the traditionally moderate state, with the former having spent a considerable amount of money hoping to block out Biden. But it appears Biden’s appeal to southern Democrats proved more effective than Bloomberg’s money. Early returns show the former Vice President with more than 55% of the vote, perhaps repeating his dominant South Carolina victory in the more affluent southern state… North Carolina has also been called for Biden as polls closed in the state. A victory in that state would represent an even more favorable development for Biden, who was expected to compete with Sanders closely in the Tarheel State.
Sanders may have a chance to bridge the gap with Biden as the states of Texas and California, two states with large Hispanic populations, have yet to be decided.

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions is hoping to get his U.S. Senate seat back and is fighting against a crowded field to be the Republican nominee to oppose incumbent Democrat Doug Jones in November .

bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-04--Chuck Schumer Threatens Supreme Court Justices: “You Will Pay the Price”

Democrat House speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that President Donald Trump ’ s insistence on a border wall is a luxury the country can no longer afford .
Pelosi is having a very difficult time during this government shutdown , as I explain : Here are some reasons Nancy Pelosi is struggling : • The Democrat “ Problem Solvers Caucus ” met with President Trump without her take our poll - story continues below The Democrat problem solvers left the door open to “ common ground ” but still requested that the government re-open before that common ground can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem solvers said about the meeting .
The Democrat problem solvers include “ Josh Gottheimer , Thomas Suozzi , Vincente Gonzalez , Anthony Brindisi , Dean Phillips , Max Rose , and Abigail Spanberger , ” but no Pelosi .
“ Over the last weeks , we have been listening to our constituents and speaking with our fellow Members of Congress — in both parties and in both chambers .
There is strong agreement across the aisle and around the country : We must reopen the government .
Our security , safety , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ millions of families are suffering , ” the Democrat problem solvers stated .
“ There is also strong agreement that if we reopen the government , the possibility exists to work together and find common ground to tackle some of our country ’ s toughest problems and fix them .
But that conversation can only begin in earnest once the government is reopened .
We accepted the White House ’ s invitation to meet today to convey that message , ” the Democrat problem solvers said .
2 .
Democrats keep saying good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the word “ Wall ” Democrat congressman Hakeem Jeffries said on the House floor that Democrats “ are prepared to have a conversation about infrastructure on the border ” and “ a conversation about our broken immigration system.
” Jeffries is the latest Democrat to suggest open-mindedness on compromise so long as Democrats can use a different term than “ Wall.
” Jeffries said that Democrats are not prepared to have these conversations during President Trump ’ s supposedly vindictive government shutdown , but they might have no choice .
California Democrat Katie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about Democrat openness to “ physical barriers , ” and Rep. Cheri Bustos expressed openness to a “ partial Wall.
” 3 .
Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got onto the House Financial Services Committee Here are Ocasio-Cortez ’ s stated objectives for her tenure on the committee : “ Personally , I ’ m looking forward to digging into the student loan crisis , examining for-profit prisons/ICE detention , and exploring the development of public & postal banking .
To start.
” 4 .
Pelosi is still haunted by her ignoring of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
President Trump guaranteed back pay to furloughed workers , shifting blame for the shutdown to Democrats With the workers assured pay , the Democrats are squarely in the center of attention .
The government can only be re-opened with their commitment to funding the border wall .
Now , every day that the shutdown drags on and workers don ’ t get paid can be perceived to be the fault of Democrats .
If Democrats fund the border wall , then the workers can get paid again .
6 .
Her plot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by blocking Trump from the House floor was ridiculed Department of Homeland Security chief Kirstjen Nielsen thanked the Secret Service and her own agency , DHS , for their commitment to secure the State of the Union address to be delivered by President Donald Trump .
“ The Department of Homeland Security and the US Secret Service are fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union , ” stated Nielsen .
Democrat House speaker Nancy Pelosi is pushing to postpone Trump ’ s State of the Union , citing supposed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But the Secret Service , as always , is prepared to serve with honor .
Democrats are running out of tactics to apply pressure on President Donald Trump to end the government shutdown without a Wall .
7 .
Chuck Schumer Did Not Have An Inspiring Press Conference Outside the Capitol Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats held up posters of furloughed government workers outside the Capitol Wednesday .
Republicans including Rep. Mo Brooks and Louie Gohmert have already shown photos of the victims of illegal alien crime on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old girl who was beheaded by an illegal alien .
Schumer ’ s statement ignores those victims of illegal alien crime .
Now that President Trump has signed the back pay bill , the blame for the shutdown shifts to Democrats , who keep workers from getting their paychecks through their refusal to fund the southern border Wall .
Schumer held up a poster of a man with a heart ailment , but did not address the Angel families who arrived at Nancy Pelosi ’ s office this week while Pelosi ignored them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some of the Democrats briefly chanted .
“ We ’ re going to stay out for a long time , if we have to .
We ’ ll be out for a long time , ” President Trump said on a conference call with some of his supporters .
“ People are very impressed with how well government is working with the circumstances that we ’ re under , ” the president stated on the call .

Chuck Schumer Threatens Supreme Court Justices: “You Will Pay the Price”
Chuck Schumer outright threatened two Supreme Court Justices when speaking at a pro-abortion event on Wednesday, using vengeful and vindictive language when discussing recent pro-life court case rulings reached by the court.
Watch here:
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh…. You have unleashed the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
Such rhetoric might be expected in one of Kim Jong Un’s regular missive of threats against the United States. But it’s shocking to hear a sitting Senate Majority Leader slam nonpartisan Supreme Court Justices in such a bold fashion, totally disregarding the court’s traditional independence from everyday politics.
The rally by a pro-abortion group was being held in advance of an expected court ruling on a Louisiana abortion law. The law requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at state hospitals.
Republican legislators slammed Schumer for his irresponsible and threatening rhetoric at the abortion rally after footage of his language was seen on Twitter.
Did Senate Democrat leader Schumer just threaten two conservative justices? Where is the media? “I want to tell you Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch: You have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price”pic.twitter.com/MellytNNp5 — Mark Meadows (@MarkMeadows) March 4, 2020
Schumer may have been alluding to potential Democratic plans to impeach Kavanaugh, and possibly even Gorsuch, removing them from the Supreme Court. The Court’s now conservative majority has placed a major stumbling block in the way of the Left’s preferred strategy of seizing power through judicial activism.
Schumer’s unprecedented language, especially coming from a senior party official who should remain level-headed, demonstrates the Democratic Party’s willing to cast aside all formal norms of federal politics and government. They’re willing to do whatever it takes in order to get their way.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has chosen Sen. Kelly Loeffler , who was hand-picked by Georgia Gov .
Brian Kemp for the position , as her preferred candidate over the man who Trump wanted in the position , Rep. Doug Collins .
“ Hi Georgia friends , it ’ s Nikki Haley and I am coming to Atlanta on Monday with a super exciting announcement .

He is currently polling at 21 percent , according to a poll conducted by University of Georgia ’ s School of Public and International Affairs .
Loeffler is polling at 19 percent , and Democrat Matt Lieberman , son of former Sen.

The seat became free after former Sen. Johnny Isakson was forced to abdicate his position last year unexpectedly due to health issues .
Loeffler ’ s past as an abortion-supporting RINO who raised money for Mitt Romney ’ s 2012 presidential run but kept her pocketbook closed when Donald Trump ran for president in 2016 has been well-documented by Big League Politics : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has donated to many gun-grabbing Democrats in the past .
They noted that she donated $ 2,000 to Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan , and another $ 2,000 to former Sen. Chris Dowd of Connecticut .

Her donations have helped to keep these Democrats in power in Georgia throughout the years , and now she will be rewarded by Republicans with a Senate seat .
To establish herself as a power player in the GOP , Loeffler donated $ 750,000 to a pro-Mitt Romney Super PAC in 2012 .
She serves as co-owner of the Atlanta Dream , a franchise for the massively unpopular and unprofitable Women ’ s National Basketball Association ( WNBA ) that serves as little more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The WNBA is explicitly in favor of murdering children in the womb , and they have partnered with abortion providers to oppose President Donald Trump ’ s support of the pro-life agenda .

Nikki Haley Supports Hand-Picked RINO Over Trump’s Choice in U.S. Senate Race for Georgia
Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has chosen Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who was hand-picked by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for the position, as her preferred candidate over the man who Trump wanted in the position, Rep. Doug Collins.
“Hi Georgia friends, it’s Nikki Haley and I am coming to Atlanta on Monday with a super exciting announcement. I hope you’ll stay tuned — I look forward to seeing you soon. Take care,” Haley said in a video she posted on Twitter, alluding to her endorsement of Loeffler.
Atlanta, we are coming to you with a fun announcement on Monday. Look forward to seeing you! Details coming soon! pic.twitter.com/5aWKab0wvZ — Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) March 4, 2020
Haley hopes that her endorsement can help Loeffler overtake Collins in the polls. He is currently polling at 21 percent, according to a poll conducted by University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs. Loeffler is polling at 19 percent, and Democrat Matt Lieberman, son of former Sen. Joe Lieberman, is polling at 11 percent, with a third of voters still undecided.
There will be no Republican primary election between Collins and Loeffler, and there will instead be a “jungle” election in November that will ultimately determine the next Senator. The seat became free after former Sen. Johnny Isakson was forced to abdicate his position last year unexpectedly due to health issues.
Loeffler’s past as an abortion-supporting RINO who raised money for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential run but kept her pocketbook closed when Donald Trump ran for president in 2016 has been well-documented by Big League Politics:
Second Amendment Daily has reported that Loeffler has donated to many gun-grabbing Democrats in the past. They noted that she donated $2,000 to Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, and another $2,000 to former Sen. Chris Dowd of Connecticut. She also gave $500 to Congressman Bob Etheridge of North Carolina. Loeffler has also given significant donations to Democrats within her home state of Georgia. She gave $2,000 to former Sen. Tom Harkin, and another $2,000 donation to Congressman David Scott. She sent a donation of $1,000 to former Congressman Jim Marshall, and an additional $500 to former Congressman John Barrow. Her donations have helped to keep these Democrats in power in Georgia throughout the years, and now she will be rewarded by Republicans with a Senate seat. To establish herself as a power player in the GOP, Loeffler donated $750,000 to a pro-Mitt Romney Super PAC in 2012. She serves as co-owner of the Atlanta Dream, a franchise for the massively unpopular and unprofitable Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) that serves as little more than a welfare program for lesbianic thugs. The WNBA is explicitly in favor of murdering children in the womb, and they have partnered with abortion providers to oppose President Donald Trump’s support of the pro-life agenda. Their 2018 “Take A Seat, Take A Stand” program funneled money into the coffers of Planned Parenthood and other anti-Christian special interest groups… Loeffler also sits on the board of the Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, which is the state’s leading abortion provider. Pro-life organizations are urging Kemp to deny Loeffler the appointment because of her prominent role in facilitating abortions throughout Georgia. “We’re past the point of ever being willing to accept sort of a passive argument for someone’s pro-life advocacy or pro-life position,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony’s List. “All we’ve seen is evidence of her leadership positions and what she’s failed to do with them.”
Georgia voters will have the chance to boot this Haley-endorsed RINO and put President Trump’s choice, Collins, into office in November.

Pierce Bush Loses Texas Congressional Primary in Blow to Globalist Political Dynasty
Pierce Bush, the grandson of former President George H.W. Bush and the latest member of the infamous political dynasty to run for office, lost a Republican congressional primary on Tuesday night.
Bush was running to represent Texas’ 22nd District, which covers suburban Houston. Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls and businesswoman Kathaleen Wall came in first and second in the primary, and will compete in a May runoff election. Bush came in third.
Pierce Bush is the son of Neil Bush, George W. Bush’s brother. One of Jeb’s sons, George P. Bush, is currently Texas’ Land Commissioner.
The defeat represents the first for a member of the Bush family running for office in the state of Texas for over 40 year, and the decline of the once-invincible political dynasty. Bush lost a primary for a seat in a district that overwhelmingly voted for Senator Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican Primary, suggesting that the Bush family has worn out its welcome among Republicans who aren’t even hardcore original Trump supporters.
Bush ran with a mixed approach to President Trump, declining to style himself as a Trump Republican in the manner in which his opponents did.
The Bush family’s track record as previous stewards of the Republican Party is a dismal failure at the very best. George W. Bush oversaw the most disastrous foreign policy error in American history, opened the borders to unprecedented levels of legal and illegal immigration, and orchestrated a bailout of corrupt Wall Street elites after they crashed the economy.
Members of the Bush family should accept that they’ve had their run and ride off into the sunset of national politics and the Republican Party.

President Donald Trump hammered his former Attorney General Jeff Sessions following his mediocre performance in the U.S. Senate primary for the state of Alabama .

bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-04--FRIENDLY FIRE: Race Huckster Shaun King Fights with MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow Over Bernie Sanders

Race huckster Shaun King , the white guy who acts black to manipulate gullible leftists , is attacking MSNBC host Rachel Maddow about her reporting as it pertains to Sen. Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) .
Sanders got his clock cleaned on Super Tuesday , with former Vice President Joe Biden winning the lion ’ s share of the primaries .
King was reaching for a conspiracy , using Maddow ’ s reporting as evidence that the Democrat establishment is out to get Sanders .

“ The Bloomberg campaign is experiencing intense pressure from multiple sources from inside of the Democratic Party that he needs to quit , ” Maddow said while reporting on Super Tuesday .
He also posted a report from MSNBC national political reporter Josh Lederman in which the journalist talked about Bloomberg ’ s fledgling presidential campaign .

King continues to fan the flames of conspiracy with the posts on his Twitter page , apparently unable to accept that socialism just isn ’ t very popular .
Regardless of King @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big winner on Super Tuesday and has emerged yet again as the presumptive front-runner among the Democrats : Joe Biden has been projected as the winner of the Virginia Democratic Primary , winning the state in overwhelming fashion and showing his appeal in southern states and to Black voters .

“We’ve been talking to Democratic officials, senior people within the party, people who have a lot of influence, who have acknowledged that they have been in touch with the Bloomberg campaign trying to make the case that now is the time for the sake of party unity for him to step aside particularly as the party really coalesces behind Joe Biden,” Lederman said.

King continues to fan the flames of conspiracy with the posts on his Twitter page, apparently unable to accept that socialism just isn’t very popular.
No words for what should be an absolute wall-to-wall scandal. Instead, this keeps happening, the legal tools to address keep deterioriating, & public authorities keep taking decisions that make access to voting harder. https://t.co/cKgV62lLtt — Taniel (@Taniel) March 4, 2020

Regardless of King’s whining, Biden was the big winner on Super Tuesday and has emerged yet again as the presumptive front-runner among the Democrats:
Joe Biden has been projected as the winner of the Virginia Democratic Primary, winning the state in overwhelming fashion and showing his appeal in southern states and to Black voters. The first round of Super Tuesday returns showed Biden carrying the state in a landslide. Both Bloomberg and Sanders had hoped to be competitive in the traditionally moderate state, with the former having spent a considerable amount of money hoping to block out Biden. But it appears Biden’s appeal to southern Democrats proved more effective than Bloomberg’s money. Early returns show the former Vice President with more than 55% of the vote, perhaps repeating his dominant South Carolina victory in the more affluent southern state… North Carolina has also been called for Biden as polls closed in the state. A victory in that state would represent an even more favorable development for Biden, who was expected to compete with Sanders closely in the Tarheel State.
It doesn’t look like this professional racebaiter’s crying will do much to stop the Joementum that built on Super Tuesday.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-03-04--Big Issues like the Flood of Illegal Aliens and the National Debt Were Ignored at CPAC

Several organizations were disappointed following the 2020 Conservative Political Action Conference ( CPAC ) .
The theme of this year ’ s CPAC was “ America vs. Socialism.
” After all , this is an election cycle with a self-described democratic socialist in Bernie Sanders running for office .
Billy Binion of Reason wrote “ notably absent from the CPAC agenda was anything pertaining to the debt , deficit , or current levels of absurd government spending—an odd choice for a conference that sought to position itself as a banner carrier for responsible fiscal policy.
” Trending : Never Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Isn ’ t a Win for Conservatives Instead , the conference focused around “ incendiary characters like Diamond and Silk , Charlie Kirk , and Candace Owens , who do more to caricature the Right than provide constructive policy ideas .
“ take our poll - story continues below When it came to substance , this conference did not deliver whatsoever .
Binion highlighted what was truly missing about America ’ s growing deficit : “ Trump has ‘ fully embraced the idea that deficits don ’ t matter , ’ writes Steven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proposals that fail to right America ’ s fiscal ship .
His 2021 budget , for instance , requests $ 4.8 trillion in spending—a 21 percent increase from when Trump took office.
” Binion concluded by stating that “ ’ America vs. Socialism , ’ it turns out , was real-life clickbait.

He faces a possible sentence ranging up to 29 years, despite actually being acquitted on the most severe first-degree rape charge he was facing in his trial.

Weinstein was spared an immediate introduction to the jail system on account of heart problems following his February 24th conviction. The former filmmaker and notorious #MeToo sex criminal was diverted to Bellevue Hospital while being transported to the jail, evidently on account of heart palpitations and high blood pressure.

Romney’s coy dismissal of the question all but guarantees he voted for a Republican other than Trump. He’s previously spoken favorably of Bill Weld, a liberal globalist former Governor of Massachusetts like himself. Weld led an effort to institute wide-ranging gun bans as Governor. He ran as Gary Johnson’s running mate on the 2016 Libertarian Party ticket, only to encourage his supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton days before the election.
The intensely anti-Trump failed Presidential candidate may have relied upon his own instincts of political self-preservation in declining to tell CNN who he voted for. Romney is one of the most unpopular Republican senators in the country in his own state, with high disapproval ratings that are likely to have surged even higher in light of his vote to convict Donald Trump in a pointless Democratic impeachment gambit.
Romney has also admitted that his primary vote is essentially a futile effort, admitting that Trump is likely to be re-elected in a speech to a globalist political conference in Germany.
Romney probably wouldn’t run the risk of openly endorsing a fringe liberal Republican primary challenger to the President- especially in light of a recent effort by Utah Republicans to censor the old-school establishment Republican- but he remains thoroughly loyal to his anti-Trump colors. Simply can’t let go of the petty feud he’s waged against the President for years.
