Oh the arrogance, I was a basketball player and am now a coach, my political opinion is of great value.... Not that much of a coach that could only win with an all-Star roster. Why the left thinks Hollywood still helps them with elections is beyond me. I am sure it use to but I don't think so anymore. I certainly hope they continue to use Hollywood as much as possible. |

It appears the DNC has issued talking points on Trump. Use the word fascist as much as possible. Just like the RNC says call them Socialists. Two sides of the same coin. |

They are not all socialists but some are. I would like to see a DNC debate moderator ask all candidates to take a stand one way or another on open borders. Right now it appears they are all for it. That is a big issue and is fair. They all were willing to take the pledge for taxpayer funded healthcare for illegals. Here are the top four democrat candidates according to polling now: Biden/Sanders/Warren/Harris Biden is pretty center no issue there. Sanders is a socialists he makes no bones about it. Warren is medicare for all/Green New Deal (as does Bernie) but says she is not a socialist. Harris advocates reparations. I cant see how anyone but Biden can beat Trump out of these four. If Harris backs off from reparations she may be in the game. |

The border / immigration is an issue where the center should have a lot of common ground, but it seems there is less and less reason for each side to talk to the other side. That’s one of the main reasons I was disappointed the Supreme Court punted on gerrymandering |

I hope this stupidity (not his opinion itself) but the idea that we’re interested in his opinion in the first place never comes to hockey, college sports, or the other sports I’ve started watching (NASCAR, tennis, golf) since I’ve abandoned the NBA, NFL, ESPN, etc because of the politics that have ruined those sports. |

I told my guys for years...stay off off of all social media. If not, eventually, like all humans (and cops are humans) you’ll do something stupid and will eventually regret it. I don’t do any social media (except here) and fortunately both my boys are still free of facebook, twitter, and any other mind sapping stupidness. |

Lets see this person be shunned and never work in this town again.......
Broadway legend Patti LuPone is under fire for a shocking personal attack on Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC.
Graham has defended the president in recent days amid the ongoing controversy around his inflammatory comments toward four freshman Democratic congresswomen, as well as a controversial chant at one of his rallies on Wednesday night.
LuPone started her attacking by criticizing Graham for supporting the president before things took an ugly turn and she went after the Republican "on a personal note."
"Lindsey Graham you are a disgrace," LuPone tweeted. "On a personal note, why don't you just bite the bullet and come out. You might just come to your senses."
This isn't the first time an entertainer attacked Graham in such a fashion. Liberal comedian Chelsea Handler wrote a sexually-explicit tweet suggesting that Graham was being blackmailed by the Trump administration over his sexuality.

You’re right, I wasn’t thinking of all 20...just the ones that have a chance, and I’m not labeling them...their positions speak for themselves. Of the actual contenders, only Biden is going against socialist dogma. Those that don’t actually claim to be socialists (like Bernie) are openly advocating socialist policies...Warren, Harris, Booker, etc...they’re just too smart, or dis-honest, to openly identify as socialist. |

I honestly believe much of this is our fault. We punish politicians if they are honest about tough choices. They tell us they can build a magic train to the future and we vote for it. They tell us vote for this crime bill and we all win and we vote for it. Even something like social security and medicare reform gets kicked down the road because neither party wants to be honest with the american people. We don't even get a vote on this one they are so terrified of it. Same thing for immigration. We need to throw out do nothing politicians. I far prefer honest even if rude real discussions than well crafted say nothing answers that pass off as policy when even at that moment it is known to be BS. |

I dont know the details around this one but from the video I have seen if the two guys mentioned by the rapper started trouble with the guys he was with they are the dumbest people ever. Based on the video I am actually siding with the rapper. His security guy clearly is trying to tell these two idiots to go away. But then towards the end of the video you see two or three different people beating up on these guys so that is not really a fight. And of course the CBC with nothing better to do to serve their community are on the case.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have made it clear they're going to do everything they can to expedite ASAP Rocky's release from a Swedish jail. When questioned about the ongoing situation by TMZ, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York confirmed that they're getting involved, citing human rights violations.
"The situation with ASAP Rocky is unfortunate, it’s outrageous, it needs to be addressed," Jeffries explained. "You can expect that members of Congress, particularly those of us who are part of the Congressional Black Caucus, are going to continue to weigh in forcefully until ASAP Rocky is free."

No. The DNC embraces the agenda which is both socialist and fascist. Which is quite easy, Mussolini was a communist and his deviation caused a disappointment in the USSR.
The RNC embraces none of the fascist agenda.

The most ingenious PR trick in the history of humanity was executed by Joseph V. Stalin and it was creating the illusion of socialism and communism being anti-fascism.
That despite the GULAG Archipelago.
That despite the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact and the consequent joint parades in the Eastern Poland.
That despite converting the Eastern Europe into the part of the prison the Soviet Union already was in just a few years.
People think that Socialism and Fascism/National Socialism are different.
No, there's National Socialism and International Socialism, just two flavors.
One of Jordan Peterson's biggest urges to his audiences around the world is to read Solzhenitsyn. "One Day from the Life of Ivan Denisovich" is sufficient. It's a Nobel winner.

Secondly, Bernie doesn't honestly explain how his ideas combine with his wife's machinations in real estate and college.

For example, I am pretty sure he's in favor of abolition of private ownership of means of production, but he doesn't dare saying so. |

Some people are just evil to the bone.
Albert Flick first landed in prison in 1979, when he was found guilty of stabbing his wife to death in front of her young daughter.
Now, the 77-year-old, who a judge previously deemed too old to pose a threat, has been sentenced to jail again for a nearly identical crime.
Flick was found guilty Wednesday of murdering Kimberly Dobbie, a 48-year-old mother who police say was stabbed at least 11 times in front of her twin sons. It took the jury just 40 minutes to convict Flick, according to the Lewiston Sun Journal.

This is gold.
Campaign workers for Bernie Sanders have taken aim at one of the senator's key policies in his 2020 presidential run — raising the federal minimum wage.
According to The Washington Post, some members of Sanders' campaign team have been lobbying to raise their wages so that they make the $15 hourly rate that the Vermont senator has frequently called for both on the campaign trail and in Washington D.C.
The Post obtained a draft of a letter that the campaign's union planned to send to Sanders' campaign manager Faiz Shakir which read in part that workers "cannot be expected to build the largest grassroots organizing program in American history while making poverty wages. Given our campaign's commitment to fighting for a living wage of at least $15.00 an hour, we believe it is only fair that the campaign would carry through this commitment to its own field team."
The letter states that field organizers are working at least 60 hours a week, which lowers the average per hour pay to $13 an hour.
"Many field staffers are barely managing to survive financially, which is severely impacting our team's productivity and morale. Some field organizers have already left the campaign as a result," the letter said,
According to documents reviewed by the newspaper, the issues regarding wages extend back to May 2019, though talks between the campaign union and Shakir appear to be ongoing. It is unknown if Sanders is aware of the requests from campaign workers.

The so called community welcomes a new policeman
One of the newest top additions to the Baltimore Police Department was robbed at gunpoint alongside his wife over the weekend, according to officials.
Deputy Commissioner Daniel Murphy and his wife were walking Friday night around 9 p.m. near Patterson Park in the southeast part of the city when a white SUV with four people inside pulled up next to them, police told FOX Baltimore.
Two black males, believed to be about 18 years old, then got out of the vehicle and showed a handgun while demanding the victims hand over their property, police said

The so called media
MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance falsely claimed on Sunday that Fox News would not air ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s highly anticipated congressional testimony in an apparent attempt to mislead her Twitter followers.
Vance chalked it up to “irony” for hours after being confronted with her misstatement, before finally deleting the inaccurate message.
