Minnesota : New Bill Would Allow Legally Armed Citizens To Sue Gun Free Zone Businesses If Injured While Disarmed Finally , something that actually makes sense and that I ’ ve said for a long , long time !
The Minnesota legislature has a bill before it that would allow for armed citizens to be able to sue businesses that declare themselves “ gun free zones ” if they are disarmed by that business and suffer injuries .
According to the intent of the legislation , “ It is the intent of the legislature to balance the right of self-defense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carry a firearm under section 624.714 or other law or who is not prohibited under section 624.713 or other law from carrying a firearm with the right of a property owner or entity to exercise control of the property and prohibit the lawful carry or possession of firearms.
” This new bill would change those requirements by adding something new .
All notifications now must state that anyone prohibited from carrying a firearm is “ under the custodial responsibility ” of the business that is banning guns on their premises .
Details of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or property owners which prohibits the carrying of firearms “ shall assume absolute custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of the unarmed person ” while the person is on the property .

Although this bill , HF 3051 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local level in Minnesota ; this hopefully would open the door for consideration on the federal level .
When legally licensed firearm owners are denied their right to carry , and are then subjected to violence with no way to defend themselves , someone should be held responsible .

Minnesota: New Bill Would Allow Legally Armed Citizens To Sue Gun Free Zone Businesses If Injured While Disarmed
Finally, something that actually makes sense and that I’ve said for a long, long time! The Minnesota legislature has a bill before it that would allow for armed citizens to be able to sue businesses that declare themselves “gun free zones” if they are disarmed by that business and suffer injuries.
According to the intent of the legislation, “It is the intent of the legislature to balance the right of self-defense of a person who is authorized to carry a firearm under section 624.714 or other law or who is not prohibited under section 624.713 or other law from carrying a firearm
with the right of a property owner or entity to exercise control of the property and prohibit the lawful carry or possession of firearms.”
Concealed Nation reports:
This new bill would change those requirements by adding something new. All notifications now must state that anyone prohibited from carrying a firearm is “under the custodial responsibility” of the business that is banning guns on their premises.
Details of the new bill state that a business or property owners which prohibits the carrying of firearms “shall assume absolute custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of the unarmed person” while the person is on the property.
This proposed change allows a civil recourse option for legally armed citizens being prevented from carrying their firearm into the business or property. This could be any form of injury, including death, or economic loss that could have been prevented if the person had been allowed to carry their firearm.
Although this bill, HF 3051, is only being proposed on the local level in Minnesota; this hopefully would open the door for consideration on the federal level. When legally licensed firearm owners are denied their right to carry, and are then subjected to violence with no way to defend themselves, someone should be held responsible. With this bill, that responsibility now falls on those directly responsible for the disarmament.
This is exactly what is needed.
Too many people want to trample on the rights of others because they believe they are morally superior in that respect. Yet, they take no initiative to actually provide any semblance of security.
If they are going to require that you be disarmed, then they are making themselves responsible for your well being should criminals enter the establishment.
When they don’t, they are negligent, plain and simple.
There is nothing to fear from those who are morally upright carrying weapons of any kind.
In fact, to be honest, I often ignore establishments that declare I must be disarmed and carry concealed anyways. After all, I have no intention of committing a crime and should the need arise for me to draw my weapon, I’m sure all will be thankful I ignored such stupidity.
The text of HF 3051 reads as follows:

Subdivision 1. Legislative intent. It is the intent of the legislature to balance the right
of self-defense of a person who is authorized to carry a firearm under section 624.714 or
other law or who is not prohibited under section 624.713 or other law from carrying a firearm
with the right of a property owner or entity to exercise control of the property and prohibit
the lawful carry or possession of firearms.
Subd. 2. Property owner responsibility. (a) A property owner or entity who prohibits
the carrying of firearms by a person who is otherwise authorized to carry a firearm or who
is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm shall assume absolute custodial
responsibility for the safety and defense of the unarmed person while the person is located
on the owner’s or entity’s property that is posted with a sign prohibiting firearms.
(b) The responsibility of the property owner or entity for the safety and defense of any
person who is otherwise authorized to carry a firearm or who is not otherwise prohibited

the person or entity, vicious animals, wild animals, and defensible man-made and natural

(1) “firearm” has the meaning given in section 609.666; and

is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm and who is injured, suffers bodily injury

to carry a firearm or who is not prohibited from carrying a firearm is under the custodial
responsibility of the property owner or entity that has posted a sign on the property. Failure
of a sign to provide the information required by this subdivision does not reduce liability

(1) the person owned a firearm, was otherwise authorized to carry a firearm or was not

Williamson Backs Bernie – Calls It Political Revolution But Revolutions Are Not Always In The Best Interest Of Citizens

Are the individuals who take up space by occupying elected office and those “ working ” in departments and agencies considered to be the “ federal government ” incompetent , negligent , unscrupulous , inept , criminals , traitors or all the above ?
It ’ s a difficult question to answer , but one Americans need to address then work accordingly to remedy .
To have any one of these traits would be cause for removal from office or the position in government held .
If the individual was found to be a criminal or traitor , the individual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ office , should be charged , tried , and punished to the fullest extent of the law if found guilty .
But , holding more than one and depending on the combination , would signify those individuals as enemies of Americans , our current form of government , and deserving of death , particularly when dealing with treason or criminal actions while in office that contributed to or caused the death of innocent Americans .
It should be troubling to citizens to hear someone like former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson proclaim that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leading the political revolution ” .
Williamson claimed the reason Sanders is surging can be contributed to “ blowback ” from what she calls “ capitalism without conscience ” and “ corporate elites ” .
Her full “ tweet ” is available on Twitter .
When talking about “ political revolutions ” , one ’ s mind wanders back through history to the Russian Bolshevik revolution that resulted in the installment of the Communist Party headed by Lenin , then Stalin , which produced an oppressive , intolerable , murderous , starvation-producing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along the fringe despite the toppling of the USSR in the late 80s .
One could go back to the installment of the Communist Party in China headed by Mao Tse Tung , that persists today , although whitewashed by many to justify “ trade ” with the oppressive , broad spying , mentally , emotionally , and physically manipulating totalitarian regime now under Xi Jinping .
Under Mao , the murder by starvation of millions of Chinese citizens was incomprehensible .
The State-owned everything , even the forks and spoons sitting in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pol Pot of Cambodia ?
His inspiration for his oppressive regime was Mao Tse Tung , but Pol Pot wanted a more extreme agrarian utopia .
Remnants of the “ old society ” were unscrupulously murdered .
There are plenty of others .
So , when hearing the words “ political revolution ” , Americans should take great heed and pause .
Many may say , “ Now , Suzanne , you are just being a bit on the nit-picky side because there is no way that Marianne Williamson actually meant a ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just making a sensationalist statement for effect.
” To which the reply is , “ Are you so sure about that ?
Would you be willing to bet your life , your family ’ s life or your children ’ s life on that ?
” There is no doubt that what is happening in our government now is troubling and problem some .
But , it isn ’ t our form of government that is the problem – it is those that have been elected to government that is the problem and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well .
And , it is the result of the lack of due diligence by the citizens of this nation established under the divine providence of God , going back to over 150 years , that resulted in the runaway bloated government of today .
What happened over 150 years ago ?
It was the War to Enslave the States at the direction of President Abraham Lincoln , where southern States were placed under martial law upon losing , enduring plenty of hardships and tyranny by their northern citizen neighbors .
So , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the deleterious character of men to inflict hardship upon populations in differing regions based upon political conflict or ideology is evident .
When talking about the War to Enslave the States , the southern States were not trying to abolish the government the Constitution established .
They were seeking to leave the cooperative known as the “ united States of America ” to create their own government on the same continent that would be more agreeable to the people .
It is the right enshrined in the Declaration of Independence to form @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life , liberty and pursuit of happiness better , the southern States invoked .
But , I digress .
This runaway bloated federal government gave rise to neutered State and local governments who do the bidding of the federal government in exchange for money .
Some of these State and local elected officials and those serving in State and local government positions may believe that their actions are somehow in the “ best interest ” of the people , but they are basing those actions on their “ personal feelings and beliefs ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 20th century , instead of basing their actions upon the law – the Constitution of the united States of America , which governs the entire nation .
It is not man , nor a group of men , or a region that governs this nation .
It is the Constitution , but the Constitution requires citizens to enforce it since we , as citizens of the various States , created the government we now have .
Be reminded of history .
There has only been one political revolution that has resulted in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the American Revolution .
All others have resulted in despotism , tyranny and great suffering of the people , who then lacked the courage and fortitude to change their station .
Why ?
Those who possessed those qualities were eliminated through murder , either directly or indirectly , by the very government that attained power .
When anyone utters the words “ political revolution ” , it should begin a long , critical thinking process beginning with one question , “ Who exactly wants this ‘ revolution ’ ” followed by “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Usually one follows the money , but one also has to follow the indoctrination .
Somewhere along the way , our economical system of capitalism has become the boogeyman .
But , what has become troubling in capitalism is the “ wealthy ” individuals who spent untold amount of money to tilt business in their favor .
They did this through using the government , the officials elected to Congress , State legislatures and assemblies , and local counties and municipalities to alter a “ free market ” system to become one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And , those involved in government discovered they could pad their nests by aligning with these money magnates .
No one in government becomes a millionaire , multi-millionaire or billionaire on a government salary .
So , for all these easily swayed , non-critical thinking American citizens , the blame is our form of government and our economical system of capitalism that is at fault , instead of the ones elected to government , who perverted the system , and those working in government departments and agencies that do the bidding of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Williamson blamed “ capitalism without conscience ” , whatever that means , and “ corporate elites ” for the ills of this nation .
Isn ’ t she as much of the problem , along with Bernie and gang , as anyone else ?
They have perpetuated a problem that began long ago .
The citizens have perpetuated a problem that began long ago .
The issue now is that no elected official is willing to change it because it would affect their money train .
And , citizens have become lackadaisical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stop long enough to begin a concerted effort to stop it .
Too many citizens are stuck in the paradigm that has been mentioned ad nauseum one would think it would sink in by now .
Others are convinced through indoctrination that another form of government would be better and “ safer ” , avoiding the realization that other forms of government are not safer , better or without risk .
In fact , history has shown that other forms of government are rife with abuse , exploitation , despotism , tyranny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – those who support it as well as those who defy it .
Americans have to ask , “ who empowered the corporate elite and the wealthy to initiate a ‘ takeover ’ of economy and creation of laws that work against the citizens ” ?
Is there anyone anywhere who absolutely believes that anything will change as far as Williamson ’ s “ capitalism without conscience ” or empowered “ corporate elites ” if Bernie , some other Communist/Socialist/Marxist or “ political elitist ” is elected ?
If you do , please @ @ @ @ @ @ @ view the beautiful ocean-front villa I have for sale , at a reasonable price , in Kansas .
This is all very simplistic , of course .
However , Americans are not learning from history because they don ’ t know history .
They are not learning who has their best interest at heart .
Hint : it isn ’ t any elected official , corporate entity , corporate elite , the wealthy , or any employee of any level of government .
Hopefully , Americans will wake up and smell the tyranny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late .
Unfortunately , there is little hope for that as movements abound across this great land for an Article V Convention that will do nothing but send us deeper down the mineshaft since the USMCA has been signed and ratified by the Senate .
There is not one man who can save this nation .
Many , individual and groups , have sold this country and its citizens south .
Neither is there any unconstitutional party or “ movement ” that can do it .
All the parties have done it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will do it in the future .
The only ones who can save this nation are the citizens who hold to its founding principles , relying on the Grace of God kneeled in humble repentance for our folly and sin , while enlightening others to abandon their belief that some other form of government or ideological espousing establishment or anti-establishment individual can deliver a better alternative when those same individuals are part of the problem .

Isn’t she as much of the problem, along with Bernie and gang, as anyone else? They have perpetuated a problem that began long ago. The citizens have perpetuated a problem that began long ago. The issue now is that no elected official is willing to change it because it would affect their money train. And, citizens have become lackadaisical to everything but doing their own thing to stop long enough to begin a concerted effort to stop it. Too many citizens are stuck in the paradigm that has been mentioned ad nauseum one would think it would sink in by now. Others are convinced through indoctrination that another form of government would be better and “safer”, avoiding the realization that other forms of government are not safer, better or without risk. In fact, history has shown that other forms of government are rife with abuse, exploitation, despotism, tyranny, and infliction of harm against citizens – those who support it as well as those who defy it.
Americans have to ask, “who empowered the corporate elite and the wealthy to initiate a ‘takeover’ of economy and creation of laws that work against the citizens”?
Is there anyone anywhere who absolutely believes that anything will change as far as Williamson’s “capitalism without conscience” or empowered “corporate elites” if Bernie, some other Communist/Socialist/Marxist or “political elitist” is elected? If you do, please enlighten the rest of us then come view the beautiful ocean-front villa I have for sale, at a reasonable price, in Kansas.
This is all very simplistic, of course. However, Americans are not learning from history because they don’t know history. They are not learning who has their best interest at heart. Hint: it isn’t any elected official, corporate entity, corporate elite, the wealthy, or any employee of any level of government. Hopefully, Americans will wake up and smell the tyranny and despotism before it’s too late.
Unfortunately, there is little hope for that as movements abound across this great land for an Article V Convention that will do nothing but send us deeper down the mineshaft since the USMCA has been signed and ratified by the Senate. There is not one man who can save this nation. Many, individual and groups, have sold this country and its citizens south. Neither is there any unconstitutional party or “movement” that can do it. All the parties have done it, are continuing to do it, and will do it in the future. The only ones who can save this nation are the citizens who hold to its founding principles, relying on the Grace of God kneeled in humble repentance for our folly and sin, while enlightening others to abandon their belief that some other form of government or ideological espousing establishment or anti-establishment individual can deliver a better alternative when those same individuals are part of the problem.

Calling Out The Current Administration For Its Unconstitutional Transgressions , According to His Followers-Worshippers is “ Fake News.
” Yes , They Are This Brainwashed !
Shooting the Messengers Oh my goodness , the absolute hypocrisy that is on display today !
We have today ’ s conservatives , yesterday ’ s liberals , on full exhibition in attacking everyone and anyone that dares speak out against the crimes of this current administration .
This is the danger of following your favorite politicians in the place of the Word of God and the US Constitution .
Apparently , Donald Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our exemplar Jesus Christ , according to them ( Acts 4:12 ) .
According to Trump followers and worshippers , no longer is the Word of God the standard .
Now , it is whatever the president says and does that is the standard .
I have to say , “ It is a terrible place to be when your brains are in someone else ’ s head.

While we were in Tennessee preaching and appearing on television this last week , we saw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s face on Mount Rushmore in place of George Washington , and the name of the mountain changed to that of Mt .
Trumpmore .
Another picture had Trump in the place of George Washington crossing over the Delaware River and below it were the words : “ Trump , Draining the Swamp.
” Draining the swamp ?
Really ?
Give me a break !
Even Donald Trump worshippers know that isn ’ t true .
Case in point : Just today : former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich , who was convicted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from campaign contributors , corrupt solicitation of funds , wire fraud , and lying to federal investigators was found guilty of trying to sell President Obama ’ s vacated Senate seat for personal gain .
He isn ’ t draining the swamp , he is filling it up ( Psalm 12:8 ) .
Anyone with a bit of common sense can clearly see that this merely exposes Donald Trump and his corruption , as well .
As a matter of fact , the one thing I hear across the country more than anything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and justice that he promised.

Calling Out The Current Administration For Its Unconstitutional Transgressions, According to His Followers-Worshippers is “Fake News.” Yes, They Are This Brainwashed! Shooting the Messengers
“Jesus Died For You, Trump Lives For You” -Trump Follower-Worshipper T-Shirt
Oh my goodness, the absolute hypocrisy that is on display today! We have today’s conservatives, yesterday’s liberals, on full exhibition in attacking everyone and anyone that dares speak out against the crimes of this current administration. This is the danger of following your favorite politicians in the place of the Word of God and the US Constitution. Apparently, Donald Trump has been put in the place of our exemplar Jesus Christ, according to them (Acts 4:12). According to Trump followers and worshippers, no longer is the Word of God the standard. Now, it is whatever the president says and does that is the standard. I have to say, “It is a terrible place to be when your brains are in someone else’s head.”
Let me take it another step here.
While we were in Tennessee preaching and appearing on television this last week, we saw some t-shirts where Trump worshippers had Donald’s face on Mount Rushmore in place of George Washington, and the name of the mountain changed to that of Mt. Trumpmore.
Another picture had Trump in the place of George Washington crossing over the Delaware River and below it were the words: “Trump, Draining the Swamp.”
Draining the swamp? Really? Give me a break! Even Donald Trump worshippers know that isn’t true.
Case in point: Just today: former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted of 18 crimes, including attempted extortion from campaign contributors, corrupt solicitation of funds, wire fraud, and lying to federal investigators was found guilty of trying to sell President Obama’s vacated Senate seat for personal gain.
Donald Trump just set him free.
He isn’t draining the swamp, he is filling it up (Psalm 12:8). Anyone with a bit of common sense can clearly see that this merely exposes Donald Trump and his corruption, as well.
As a matter of fact, the one thing I hear across the country more than anything else is “Where is that prosecutor and justice that he promised.”
The American people need to rise to the level of expectation on behalf of their posterity because these corrupt politicians are not going to bring justice upon one another. They hate the law just like their father (John 8:44).
Friends, these quotes and slogans are pretty tame to what we have seen when it comes to Trump’s followers and worshippers. I have seen posted “In Trump we trust,” “One Nation under Trump,” “Trumpsgiving,” “Re-Trumplicans,” “Thank you Lord Jesus for Trump,” “Jesus Died For You, Trump Lives For You.” Or how about this one, “ Make the Gospel Great Again, The Word Became Flesh (John 1:14)” with Donald Trump’s large picture at the forefront? This friends is blasphemy!
This is daring the justice of God, and rest assured Americans, we are at this very moment reaping the consequences (Galatians 6:7).

By the way, this is the same guy that said he could “shoot somebody and would not lose any voters.”
Speaking of shooting someone, look at Trump’s followers-worshippers. They are just as guilty as he is: They could shoot someone and they would not lose any support from Trump. In fact, they are responsible for doing his shooting and aiding him along in his next attack, read carefully, on themselves.
If you want to see history in the repeat mode just look to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ when they were crying out “Crucify him, crucify him, we have no king but king Caesar” (John 19:15), and this is no exaggeration (John 7:7).
Shooting the Messenger
This last week, I covered Judicial Watch exposing Trump for financing terror-tied Muslim organizations in America more than three times that of Obama. Both Barack Hussein Obama and Donald Trump are globalists being used to push forth a global agenda regardless of their unconstitutional party affiliations.
After I posted the article, I received from Donald Trump worshippers (Daniel 3:1-3) comments such as, “Fake News,” “Why do you hate Trump?,” “Having a bad night? Yikes!” “Liar,” “Somebody better let Trump know what’s happening under his nose ,” and this one, “Trump probably has no clue, and the Deep Staters surrounding him are loading up their cronies.” Friends, Trump signed the bills.
Not one time did I get someone to call into question the very one that is responsible for deceiving them, not one. According to these people, to question Donald Trump for his lies, compromises and flat out acts of treason against the people is considered “Fake news.” Read Luke 22:48.
Somehow, I know not how, he has even convinced his followers that if you dare question anything that he does, that it is must be “Fake News” (Daniel 3; Ephesians 4:14). This man is playing a dangerous game, and so are his followers-worshippers.
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” -2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
How many times have we seen, throughout history, the cycle that people get caught up into where they place man in the place of the Lord? It is never a good turnout.
The Lord sends those that will tell the people the Lord’s truth in hopes of working repentance in them (John 16:8), and in turning them back to the Lord like that of Nineveh through the preaching of Jonah (Jonah 1:2).
Yet, if the people refuse, it will be like that of the Lord telling the people:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!” -Luke 13:34 “For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.” -Luke 19:43-44

thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-24--11 Of The Most Outrageous Things Establishment Democrats Are Saying About Bernie Sanders To Deny Him

11 Of The Most Outrageous Things Establishment Democrats Are Saying About Bernie Sanders To Deny Him The Nomination The Democratic establishment has officially shifted into panic mode .
In 2016 , they watched a bold political outsider shred a divided field of establishment Republican candidates on his way to winning the White House .
Now they have one and only one shot of denying Donald Trump a second term , and the same thing that happened to the Republicans in 2016 is now happening to them .
So far , Bernie Sanders is trouncing a divided field of establishment Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem for party leadership for a number of reasons .
For one thing , most top establishment Democrats absolutely detest Sanders .
Secondly , most of them don ’ t believe that he has a prayer of actually beating Trump in November .
So they are desperate to find a way to deny Sanders the nomination , but with each Sanders victory that is going to become increasingly difficult to do .
At this point , an all-out civil war has just about erupted on the left .
Establishment Democrats are all in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ socialist ” , but of course , the truth is that America has been drifting toward socialism ever since FDR first entered the White House .
Yes , there have been a few times when we have attempted to change course ( the Reagan administration for example ) , but in general , the federal government has just gotten bigger and bigger over the decades .
Today we have the biggest government in the entire history of the planet , and the Democrats are primarily to blame .
Ultimately , what this conflict @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may have won the hearts of the voters , but he isn ’ t supposed to actually win the nomination , and the Democratic establishment will pull out all the stops in order to keep that from happening .
All of a sudden , operatives on the left can ’ t stop talking about how the Russians want Bernie Sanders to win .
This is coming from the same people that spent years trying to find evidence that President Trump colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 2016 election and that accused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ operative ” in order to derail her quest for the Democratic nomination .
Are there people out there that actually believe this stuff ?
Apparently there must be because establishment Democrats just keep going back to the same playbook over and over again .
In the weeks ahead , we should expect the attacks on Sanders to continue to escalate .
The following are 11 of the most outrageous things that establishment Democrats have said about Bernie Sanders so far , but this is probably just the beginning… # 1 Rahm Emanuel : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opponent.
” # 2 Joe Biden : “ The Russians don ’ t want me to be the nominee , ” Biden said on CBS News ’ “ Face the Nation , ” later adding , “ they like Bernie.
” # 3 James Carville : “ Right now , it ’ s about 1:15 Moscow time .
This thing is going very well for Vladimir Putin .
I promise you .
He ’ s probably staying up watching this right now .
How you doing , Vlad ?
” # 4 MSNBC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enthusiasm of Bernie ’ s voters : “ Democrats need to sober up , and figure out what the hell they ’ re going to do about that.
” # 5 Democratic House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn : “ If you know how well we did the last time and look at the congressional districts , these are not liberal or progressive districts .
These are moderate and conservative districts that we did well in .
And in those districts , it ’ s going to be tough to hold on to these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case for accepting a self-proclaimed democratic socialist.
” # 6 NPR ’ s Maria Hinojosa : “ As somebody who has been around for a while…I want receipts .
What has he done in all his time to actually deliver for Latino/a voters ?
” # 7 Pete Buttigieg : “ Before we rush to nominate Senator Sanders in our one shot to take on this president , let us take a sober look at what is at stake for our party , for our values and for those with the most to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ In any political campaign , candidates need to know what they stand for , and who — or what — they ’ re up against .
At this stage in the game for Bloomberg , that enemy is not Trump .
It ’ s Sen. Bernie Sanders and the election calendar.
” # 9 James Carville : “ If you ’ re voting for him because you think he ’ ll win the election , because he ’ ll galvanize heretofore sleepy parts of an electorate , then politically , you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clinton : “ Nobody likes him , nobody wants to work with him , he got nothing done , ” Clinton said of Sanders in a documentary about the campaign , released this year .
“ He was a career politician .
It ’ s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.
” # 11 MSNBC ’ s Chris Matthews : No pundit on the left has been more critical of Sanders than MSNBC ’ s Chris Matthews .
In the aftermath of the vote in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign “ to the Nazi invasion of France in 1940″… Needless to say , that comment sparked a tremendous backlash .
In addition , Matthews suggested that the Democrats might be better off waiting four years and then putting in “ a Democrat that they like ” … Matthews must not understand that the only reason he has a job is because the radical left has embraced MSNBC over the years .
Now Matthews and the other commentators on MSNBC are greatly alienating their core viewers , and that could potentially be absolutely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not likely to back down .
Earlier this month , he explained why he detests socialists so much… This is coming from the same guy who was so giddy about the candidacy of Barack Obama in 2008 .
In any event , I think that President Trump did a great job of summarizing the current state of the race for the Democratic nomination when he tweeted the following… None of the establishment candidates currently in the race has a prayer of winning enough delegates to secure the nomination before the convention .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ establishment has two options if they want to prevent Sanders from becoming the nominee .
Firstly , they can encourage everyone to stay in the race and try to divide the delegates enough ways so that Sanders can not clinch the nomination prior to the convention .
Then once the convention rolls around , they could try to put forward a “ compromise candidate ” as an alternative to Sanders .
Secondly , they could try to convince the one person that could actually beat Sanders during this process to enter the race @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and over again that she will absolutely not run for president .
Unfortunately for the Democrats , she is probably the only one that could pull off such a miracle at this point .
Assuming that Michelle Obama is out of the picture , the Democratic establishment ’ s only hope of stopping Sanders is probably at the convention .
Usually , the conventions are rather sleepy affairs , but this year might be an exception .
So you might want to stock up on popcorn , because a contested Democratic convention would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also likely be very entertaining .

Ultimately, what this conflict is about is power. Bernie Sanders may have won the hearts of the voters, but he isn’t supposed to actually win the nomination, and the Democratic establishment will pull out all the stops in order to keep that from happening.
All of a sudden, operatives on the left can’t stop talking about how the Russians want Bernie Sanders to win. This is coming from the same people that spent years trying to find evidence that President Trump colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 2016 election and that accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a “Russian operative” in order to derail her quest for the Democratic nomination.
Are there people out there that actually believe this stuff?
Apparently there must be because establishment Democrats just keep going back to the same playbook over and over again.
In the weeks ahead, we should expect the attacks on Sanders to continue to escalate. The following are 11 of the most outrageous things that establishment Democrats have said about Bernie Sanders so far, but this is probably just the beginning…
#1 Rahm Emanuel: “Putin and Trump are picking their opponent.”
#2 Joe Biden: “The Russians don’t want me to be the nominee,” Biden said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” later adding, “they like Bernie.”
#3 James Carville: “Right now, it’s about 1:15 Moscow time. This thing is going very well for Vladimir Putin. I promise you. He’s probably staying up watching this right now. How you doing, Vlad?”
#4 MSNBC’s Joy Reid regarding the tremendous enthusiasm of Bernie’s voters: “Democrats need to sober up, and figure out what the hell they’re going to do about that.”
#5 Democratic House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn: “If you know how well we did the last time and look at the congressional districts, these are not liberal or progressive districts. These are moderate and conservative districts that we did well in. And in those districts, it’s going to be tough to hold on to these jobs if you have to make the case for accepting a self-proclaimed democratic socialist.”
#6 NPR’s Maria Hinojosa: “As somebody who has been around for a while…I want receipts. What has he done in all his time to actually deliver for Latino/a voters?”
#7 Pete Buttigieg: “Before we rush to nominate Senator Sanders in our one shot to take on this president, let us take a sober look at what is at stake for our party, for our values and for those with the most to lose.”
#8 Joe Lockhart: “In any political campaign, candidates need to know what they stand for, and who — or what — they’re up against. At this stage in the game for Bloomberg, that enemy is not Trump. It’s Sen. Bernie Sanders and the election calendar.”
#9 James Carville: “If you’re voting for him because you think he’ll win the election, because he’ll galvanize heretofore sleepy parts of an electorate, then politically, you’re a fool.”
#10 Hillary Clinton: “Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done,” Clinton said of Sanders in a documentary about the campaign, released this year. “He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”
#11 MSNBC’s Chris Matthews: No pundit on the left has been more critical of Sanders than MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. In the aftermath of the vote in Nevada, Matthews actually compared the Sanders campaign “to the Nazi invasion of France in 1940″…
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is under fire after comparing Sen. Bernie Sanders‘s (I-Vt.) decisive win in the Nevada caucuses to the Nazi invasion of France in 1940, with some on social media calling for the “Hardball” host to resign. “I was reading last night about the fall of France in the summer of 1940,” Matthews said during MSNBC’s live coverage of the caucuses on Saturday. “And the general, Reynaud, calls up Churchill and says, ‘It’s over.’ And Churchill says, ‘How can that be? You’ve got the greatest army in Europe. How can it be over?’ He said, ‘It’s over.’”
Needless to say, that comment sparked a tremendous backlash.
In addition, Matthews suggested that the Democrats might be better off waiting four years and then putting in “a Democrat that they like”…
“I’m wondering whether the Democratic moderates want Bernie Sanders to be president. That’s maybe too exciting a question to raise. They don’t like Trump at all. Do they want Bernie Sanders to take over the Democratic Party in perpetuity?” he said. “I mean, he takes it over, he sets the direction of the future of the party — maybe they’d rather wait four years and put in a Democrat that they like.”
Matthews must not understand that the only reason he has a job is because the radical left has embraced MSNBC over the years. Now Matthews and the other commentators on MSNBC are greatly alienating their core viewers, and that could potentially be absolutely disastrous for the network.
But Matthews is not likely to back down. Earlier this month, he explained why he detests socialists so much…
“You know, I have my own views of the word ‘socialist,’” Matthews said earlier this month. “They go back to the early 1950s. I have an attitude about them. I remember the Cold War. I have an attitude towards Castro. I believe if Castro and the Reds had won the Cold War, there would have been executions in Central Park, and I might have been one of the ones getting executed, and certain other people would be there cheering, OK? So, I have a problem with people who took the other side.”
This is coming from the same guy who was so giddy about the candidacy of Barack Obama in 2008.
Very strange.
In any event, I think that President Trump did a great job of summarizing the current state of the race for the Democratic nomination when he tweeted the following…
Looks like Crazy Bernie is doing well in the Great State of Nevada. Biden & the rest look weak, & no way Mini Mike can restart his campaign after the worst debate performance in the history of Presidential Debates. Congratulations Bernie, & don’t let them take it away from you!
None of the establishment candidates currently in the race has a prayer of winning enough delegates to secure the nomination before the convention.
So at this point, the Democratic establishment has two options if they want to prevent Sanders from becoming the nominee.
Firstly, they can encourage everyone to stay in the race and try to divide the delegates enough ways so that Sanders cannot clinch the nomination prior to the convention. Then once the convention rolls around, they could try to put forward a “compromise candidate” as an alternative to Sanders.
Secondly, they could try to convince the one person that could actually beat Sanders during this process to enter the race. But Michelle Obama has said over and over again that she will absolutely not run for president. Unfortunately for the Democrats, she is probably the only one that could pull off such a miracle at this point.
Assuming that Michelle Obama is out of the picture, the Democratic establishment’s only hope of stopping Sanders is probably at the convention.
Usually, the conventions are rather sleepy affairs, but this year might be an exception.
So you might want to stock up on popcorn, because a contested Democratic convention would be very strange, but it would also likely be very entertaining.


thewashingtonstandard--2020-02-24--Trump’s Double-Talk Betrayal of Julian Assange

One thing we ’ ve learned from the Trump Presidency is that the “ deep state ” is not just some crazy conspiracy theory .
For the past three years , we ’ ve seen that deep state launch plot after plot to overturn the election .
It all started with former CIA director John Brennan ’ s phony “ Intelligence Assessment ” of Russian involvement in the 2016 election .
It was claimed that all 17 US intelligence agencies agreed that Putin put Trump in office , but we found out later that the report was cooked up by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agents .
Donald Trump upset the Washington apple cart as presidential candidate and in so doing he set elements of the deep state in motion against him .
One of the things candidate Donald Trump did to paint a deep state target on his back was his repeated praise of Wikileaks , the pro-transparency media organization headed up by Australian journalist Julian Assange .
More than 100 times candidate Trump said “ I love Wikileaks ” on the campaign trail .
Trump loved it when Wikileaks exposed the criminality of Hillary Clinton and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to deprive Bernie Sanders of the Democratic Party nomination .
Wikileaks ’ release of the DNC emails exposed the deep corruption at the heart of US politics , and as a candidate Trump loved the transparency .
The real tragedy of the Trump presidency is nowhere better demonstrated than in Trump ’ s 180 degree turn away from Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange .
“ I know nothing about Wikileaks , ” he said as president .
“ It ’ s really not my thing.
” US pressure and bribes to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and his seven years in a room at the Ecuadorian embassy in London .
After his dramatic arrest by London ’ s Metropolitan Police last April , he has been effectively tortured in British jails at the behest of the US deep state .
Today , Monday the 24th of February , Assange faces an extradition hearing in a UK courthouse .
The Trump Administration – led by a man who praised Assange ’ s work – seeks a show trial of Assange worthy of the worst of the Soviet era .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Trump Administration argues that the Australian Assange should be tried and convicted of espionage against a country of which he is not a citizen .
At the same time , the Trump Administration argues that the First Amendment does not apply to Assange because he is not an American citizen !
So , Assange is subject to US law when it comes to publishing information embarrassing to the US deep state but he is not subject to the law of the land – the US Constitution – which protects all journalists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of government .
It is ironic that President Trump , who has been victim of so much deep state meddling , has done the deep state ’ s bidding when it comes to Assange and Wikileaks .
President Trump should preempt the inevitable US show trial of Assange by granting the journalist blanket pardon under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution .
The deep state Trump is serving by persecuting Assange is the same deep state that continues to plot Trump ’ s own ouster .
Free Assange !

One thing we’ve learned from the Trump Presidency is that the “deep state” is not just some crazy conspiracy theory. For the past three years, we’ve seen that deep state launch plot after plot to overturn the election.
It all started with former CIA director John Brennan’s phony “Intelligence Assessment” of Russian involvement in the 2016 election.
It was claimed that all 17 US intelligence agencies agreed that Putin put Trump in office, but we found out later that the report was cooked up by a handful of Brennan’s hand-picked agents.
Donald Trump upset the Washington apple cart as presidential candidate and in so doing he set elements of the deep state in motion against him.
One of the things candidate Donald Trump did to paint a deep state target on his back was his repeated praise of Wikileaks, the pro-transparency media organization headed up by Australian journalist Julian Assange.
More than 100 times candidate Trump said “I love Wikileaks” on the campaign trail.
Trump loved it when Wikileaks exposed the criminality of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, as it cheated to deprive Bernie Sanders of the Democratic Party nomination.
Wikileaks’ release of the DNC emails exposed the deep corruption at the heart of US politics, and as a candidate Trump loved the transparency.
Then Trump got elected.
The real tragedy of the Trump presidency is nowhere better demonstrated than in Trump’s 180 degree turn away from Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange.
“I know nothing about Wikileaks,” he said as president. “It’s really not my thing.”
US pressure and bribes to the Ecuadorian government ended Assange’s asylum and his seven years in a room at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
After his dramatic arrest by London’s Metropolitan Police last April, he has been effectively tortured in British jails at the behest of the US deep state.
Today, Monday the 24th of February, Assange faces an extradition hearing in a UK courthouse.
The Trump Administration – led by a man who praised Assange’s work – seeks a show trial of Assange worthy of the worst of the Soviet era.
The US is seeking a 175-year prison sentence.
The Trump Administration argues that the Australian Assange should be tried and convicted of espionage against a country of which he is not a citizen.
At the same time, the Trump Administration argues that the First Amendment does not apply to Assange because he is not an American citizen!
So, Assange is subject to US law when it comes to publishing information embarrassing to the US deep state but he is not subject to the law of the land – the US Constitution – which protects all journalists and is the backbone of our system of government.
It is ironic that President Trump, who has been victim of so much deep state meddling, has done the deep state’s bidding when it comes to Assange and Wikileaks. President Trump should preempt the inevitable US show trial of Assange by granting the journalist blanket pardon under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
The deep state Trump is serving by persecuting Assange is the same deep state that continues to plot Trump’s own ouster. Free Assange!
