Coronavirus will only get worse in  U.S. with Trump's inept approach

First he predicted that warmer weather would rid us of Coronavirus, now saying, "I think that's a problem that's going to go away," during his India trip. It isn't going away and this WHO official says, "World is ‘simply not ready’ for coronavirus pandemic." This could be Donald Trump's first real challenge since moving into the White House, and he already approaches it with the same denial as anything else that doesn't agree with his agenda. Pathetic!

See inside corrupt Trump administration with "A Warning - Anonymous" book

"A Warning - Anonymous" is a revealing expose of Donald Trump's administration, written by someone inside the White House at the top of the pecking order with privileged information that he is able to share with the American public. It is as frightening as any of Stephen King's novels, who is, by the way, an extreme critic of T-rump. This book is a MUST READ!

Chapter one starts with, "Collapse of the Steady State," actually the "deep state," AKA the steady state. Its purpose is to counter Donald Trump policies and is at work underground in the White House, viewed by the Oval Office lunatic with this meaning...

"The frequent invocations of the 'deep state' by President Donald Trump and those around him are generally meant to cast blame when his administration doesn't get its way."

Here is how Business Insider describes the "deep state"...

"The expression is actually a translation of the Turkish phrase derin devlet. As historian Ryan Gingeras has explained, it arose as a way of describing 'a kind of shadow or parallel system of government in which unofficial or publicly unacknowledged individuals play important roles in defining and implementing state policy.' 

In the Turkish case, those 'unacknowledged persons' were, in fact, agents of organized criminal enterprises working within the government."

Perhaps this element is always at work in other administrations, but, as Anonymous put it, not with the urgency it does under Donald Trump. Chapter two is "The Character of a Man," which anyone would anticipate in Trump's case goes downhill. The chapter starts with a quote from George Washington...

"A good moral character is the first essential in a man...It is therefore highly important that you should endeavor to be not only learned but virtuous."

 Donald Trump is neither learned nor virtuous. By contrast, he is downright stupid and his morals are in the sewer. He confirms this each time he opens his mouth. Anonymous does an excellent job of tearing Donald Trump to shreds, but don't expect the viewpoint from someone to the left. He or she is definitely a conservative, and in many cases protects those on the right I believe have a heavy guilt themselves. Like Jim Jordan.

The book is terrifying because it lays bare the complete psycho of the man who is supposedly running our country, the leader of the free world, and he has access to the button. The next six chapters are as impelling as the first two. Here are some reviews:

• "A scathing portrait of a president and administration in chaos."―Susan Page, USA Today
• "This slim volume is...the sounding of a national alarm."― Ron Elving, NPR
• "Explosive."―Alexandra Alter, The New York Times

So. Carolina black voters switching to Bernie Sanders from Joe Biden

Joe Biden's So. Carolina insurance to victory in this state's primary has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. The New York Post says, "Now he’s hanging on by a thread." Here's the scenario...

"The latest polls of Democrats in the Palmetto State show Biden’s once-commanding 28-point lead in November has shrunken to just five percentage points over a now surging Bernie Sanders in the same CBS News/YouGov poll released Saturday."

That's right, Biden polling 28% with Bernie now at 23% while continuing to sure here as well as in national polls. And that's after a landslide win for the Bern in Nevada caucuses. Looks like the Vermont Senator's "socialism" doesn't matter as much as the pundits think.

Heaven can't wait according to Trump's religious grifter

Here's the latest...Paula White, Donald Trump’s religious adviser, and on the White House payroll paid with taxpayer money, just returned from Heaven where she was lucky enough to get an audience with God. No, not her boss, the Trump god, but the real one upstairs. Here's the scenario...

““My spirit went up, and I literally went to the throne room of God. I won’t say much, but I’ll say something that’s important for me to teach you here today. So in that divine encounter, I don’t know how long I was there, I just know that kind of power is almost impossible for a natural body to contain. And as I went to the throne room of God, first I saw there was a mist that was coming off the water, and I went to the throne of God, and I didn’t see God’s face clearly, but I saw the face of God. It wasn’t a clear, like … I could see your face clearly, but I knew it was the face of God.

“And as God begin [sic], he put a mantle [on me] and it was a very distinct mantle. … There was a mantle, and I saw it very distinctly, the color was like a goldish, it was a yellowish goldish, a little bit different than your scarf, a little bit brighter than your scarf there. And then I saw the Earth for a moment, and he brought me back, and he put me in certain places, one being the White House, one being certain continents. … I didn’t come out of that really until the next morning.”

This noodle-head can't even spell, but the reality of this incident illustrates that one religious psycho is advising another political psycho, the Oval Office lunatic, and the outcome is that they are both way off on another planet. Does it get any more bizarre? Do you realize what the world is saying today about the White House maniac? He listens to some spiritual kook who thinks she went to Heaven, so what keeps her from advising him to just get rid of all those nasty people who make fun of him, like Canada and France?

But this phony pious huckster didn't miss the chance to hit her double-digit followers to dump more money into her cash barrel. She "claims one of the key messages in the Bible is that people watching her should send her a month’s worth of their grocery and rent money." It is beyond me how anyone can believe this crap, but it was also unbelievable that Donald Trump won the White House in 2016. But he did, and he brought along whackos like this one and others in the administration.

I watched the above video of Paula White's appeal for money and have seen predators work their skill on prey before, but this carnivore of greed takes the cake. I want to say there is something illegal about it but at the same time, in seeing the video, assume law enforcement would be as confused as me with the conniving collection of rhetoric used. But at the same time, as with her student, T-rump, there is pure genius in the conceiving of people.

Evangelicals worship Donald Trump, with the inference that he, himself, is some kind of god. And Trump has also indicated that he is holier than thou, which I posted back in August of 2019,  "Donald Trump and his new Jesus Christ complex," His then Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders, even said, God wanted Donald Trump, and the UK Independent says, "Donald Trump has promoted a post claiming he is “heaven sent” and suggesting Barack Obama 'kicked' Jesus out of the US in a string of tweets just days after Christmas, 2019.

So, where do we go from here? You almost expect to see T-rump turn Trump Tower into a cathedral, so people can come to New York regularly to worship at his feet. That is, of course, if he willingly leaves Washington after being beaten by Bernie Sanders in November. I am currently just finishing the book by the White House insider, "Anonymous," where the author indicates "Trump 'will not exit quietly,' even if defeated or impeached."

The new administration under the Bern must be very careful in how it handles this situation. There would be nothing worse than the white coats dragging Trump from the Oval Office kicking and screaming for the world to see. This idiot has caused us enough embarrassment as a country than to have a finale like that. I frankly don't have a clue. Does anyone out there have an idea??? Please comment.

Republicans are flooding this red state with cash over panic state may flip on Trump: report"

This is Arizona they are talking about where Democrat Mark Kelly leads Republican Martha McSally by 2.6 points. The state has been heavily for the GOP since I moved here 25 years ago, but appears to be turning at least purple, perhaps, fully blue. Also hopes that the Progressives here will help defeat Donald Trump in November.   READ MORE...

HEADLINE: After Bernie Sanders' landslide Nevada win, it's time for Democrats to unite behind him

If the Democratic establishment doesn't get behind Bernie Sanders soon, we are looking at four more years of Donald Trump. It is as if the old die-hards are saying, we'd rather see the Oval Office lunatic re-elected than give in to a Progressive. Are they jealous of the Bern's squeaky clean record, when most of them can't boast anything of the same. The leaders of the left, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi must start the ball rolling and do it now.  

The Guardian says...

"No other Democrats can beat him at this point. But, the liberal establishment is still struggling to come to terms with Sanders’ inevitable nomination."

The word has been out for some time that Bernie "could attract left-leaning young white people, but was incapable of drawing in a diverse coalition." Not so. One of the candidate's major sources of support in Nevada was people of color. In fact...

"he received the majority of Latino votes. Entrance polls showed Sanders winning “men and women, whites and Latinos, voters 17-29, 30-44 and 45-65, those with college degrees and those without, liberal Democrats (by a lot) and moderate/conservatives (narrowly), union and non-union households.”

Here is a long, but very accurate description of the current status of the Democratic Primary...

"Michael Bloomberg fizzled completely in his big debut, and Democrats would be out of their minds to enrage every Sanders supporter by nominating a Republican billionaire. Joe Biden has lost badly in all of the first three contests, and it’s very clear that he can’t run an effective campaign. Elizabeth Warren’s campaign has nearly gone broke and in desperation she has resorted to relying on the Super PACs that she previously shunned. Pete Buttigieg can’t win voters of color or young people (and has accurately been described as sounding like 'a neural network trained on West Wing episodes')."

The media was so sure with Sanders' avalanche of votes that he was predicted to win with only 4% of the vote in. If this is any indication of the Bern's attraction, the skeptics can rest assured of his strength. Chris Matthews of MSNBC declared the primary "over." Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post commented that it might be too late to do anything about him. This is the kind of language that pisses me off...why would we want to do anything about a winner?

Look, Bernie has built a solid grassroots organization with known ability to bring in plenty of money; he raised a massive amount of $25 million in January alone. Just think what he can expect now with the Nevada win. And, RealClearPolitics currently shows Bernie Sanders ahead of Donald Trump 49.7% to 45.3. On the socialism issue, American do consider it unfavorable by 58% to 28%. However...

"Democrats and, more specifically, progressives view socialism favorably. Half of Democrats said so, while more than two-thirds of progressives did."

The Nevada strong win by Sanders will be considered by many Democrats as a disaster for the party, as it continues to lean farther to the left. But that's where the new Democratic Party is and these old hands had better get used to it. The Guardian exclaims...

"All in all, Nevada was an inspiring moment for American democracy, proof that ordinary working people of all races and incomes and genders can come together around a robust progressive agenda."

The people have spoken. Now it's time to listen!   READ MORE...
