Democrats Release Iowa Caucus Results

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chaos erupted on Tuesday after Democrats only released 62% of the caucus results from Monday night’s Iowa caucuses, which showed that Pete Buttigieg won the most delegates despite not getting as many votes as Bernie Sanders. . .

Chaos initially erupted on Monday night when the Iowa Democratic Party said in a statement that it “found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results.”

Immediately following the announcement that the results were not going to be announced on Monday night, Buttigieg rushed to declare himself the winner of the contest.

“What a night. Because tonight, an improbable hope became an undeniable reality,” Buttigieg told his supporters, according to CNN. “So we don’t know all the results, but we know by the time, it’s all said and done, Iowa you have shocked the nation. Because by all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious.”

Shortly after Buttigieg’s speech, speculation began to swirl around the app that was used that reportedly had the problem and the company that developed the app. (Read more from “Democrats Release Iowa Caucus Results” HERE)

Donald Trump Wins Republican Iowa Caucuses; Democrat Iowa Caucus Results Delayed Due to ‘Quality Control’ Checks; The Iowa Caucus Disaster Can Be Blamed Partly on Hillary Clinton’s Former Campaign Manager

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump officially won the Republican caucuses in Iowa on Monday, an expected result as there was no serious primary challenger.

Donald Trump earned 97 percent of the caucus vote, with 100 percent of the counties reporting according to the Republican state party reporting page. . .

The president’s re-election campaign sent an army of over 80 surrogates to the state caucuses including members of his family and top Republicans.

Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale said that it was still important to make an appearance in the state to build up their supporter base in Iowa.

“A lot of people ask us why we’re out here today,” Parscale said at a caucus press conference on Monday. “The truth is, this is our first test of a grassroots army we built.”

Democrat Iowa Caucus Results Delayed Due to ‘Quality Control’ Checks

By Breitbart. Democrat presidential campaigns began voicing concerns about the delayed results of the Iowa caucuses on Monday night.

Two and half hours after the Iowa caucuses opened, the state party had no results to report, leaving presidential campaigns in the dark about how they performed, even after the caucus results were complete.

Cable news outlets also began voicing concerns about the process as they had nothing to report.

The Iowa Democrat Party revamped the Iowa caucus process, promising to release three different sets of data, including the numbers of a pre-realignment vote, a final vote, and a delegate count. . .

The Iowa Democrat party admitted there was a delay because of “quality control.” Earlier in the day, precinct chairs reported some issues with downloading the new result reporting app ahead of the caucuses.

The Iowa Caucus Disaster Can Be Blamed Partly on Hillary Clinton’s Former Campaign Manager

By Washington Examiner. The Democratic Party’s first big showing in the 2020 election has been an unmitigated disaster.

On Sunday, a highly anticipated poll of likely Iowa Democratic caucus-goers was scuttled after a voter complained of polling irregularities, prompting the survey’s conductors to shelve the results out of an “abundance of caution.”

On Monday, the day of caucuses, Iowa Democratic Party members held emergency meetings late into the evening over possible voting irregularities and precinct reporting errors. They announced eventually an indefinite delay to the release of the election results due to “quality checks.”

At this rate, with this sort of disorder and chaos, President Trump is going to steamroll whomever the Democrats throw at him and his well-oiled machine this November. It is going to be like the 2016 election all over again, which is really quite appropriate considering Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, Robby Mook, is tied to the electoral mess in Iowa.

It is a bit convoluted, but it goes like this: The Iowa Democratic Party tried something new this year. It tried to synchronize all election reporting with a new smartphone app, “which is downloaded on the personal cellphones of caucus managers to tabulate and report results,” the Des Moines Register reports.

Trump Campaign Removes Bloomberg News Reporter From Iowa Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump’s campaign escorted a Bloomberg News reporter out of an event in Iowa weeks after it said it would no longer credential the news organization’s reporters for its events.

Reporter Jennifer Jacobs was removed from the room before a news conference in West Des Moines on Monday. A campaign official told the Washington Examiner the decision was in line with campaign policy.

The Trump campaign said in December that it would not give Bloomberg News reporters credentials following the news organization’s decision not to conduct investigative reporting on any 2020 Democratic presidential candidates after its owner, Michael Bloomberg, announced he was running for president. Bloomberg News said it would cover daily campaign events as usual and would still investigate the Trump administration.

Yet Another Leftist Receives a Nobel Prize, This Time Greta Thunberg

/0 Comments/in , /by

Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has been nominated for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize by two Swedish lawmakers, a report said on Monday.

Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, members of Sweden’s Left Party, said the 17-year-old Thunberg “has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis.”

Her work toward “reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace,” they said.

The Paris accord, from which President Trump withdrew the US in June 2017, seeks to combat the rise in global temperatures by reducing emissions. . .

Thunberg, who was named Time magazine’s 2019 “Person of the Year,” was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize last year by three members of Norway’s parliament. (Read more from “Yet Another Leftist Receives a Nobel Prize, This Time Greta Thunberg” HERE)

Rush Limbaugh Announces He Has ‘Advanced Lung Cancer’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Talk radio king Rush Limbaugh stunned his 20-million member audience Monday with the announcement he’s been diagnosed with “advanced lung cancer.”

The 69-year-old conservative talk pioneer closed his broadcast with the grim news, saying he will be leaving his golden EIB microphone for treatment, but hopes to return later this week.

“This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory, for me, because I’ve known this moment was coming,” Limbaugh said. “I’m sure that you all know by now that I really don’t like talking about myself and I don’t like making things about me… one thing that I know, that has happened over the 31-plus years of this program is that there has been an incredible bond that had developed between all of you and me.”

The radio icon then told his audience that his job has provided him with the “greatness satisfaction and happiness” of his life.

“So, I have to tell you something today that I wish I didn’t have to tell you. It’s a struggle for me because I had to inform my staff earlier today,” he said. “I can’t help but feel that I’m letting everybody down. The upshot is that I have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.” (Read more from “Rush Limbaugh Announces He Has ‘Advanced Lung Cancer'” HERE)

Report: Soviet Spy Congratulated Bernie on Prior Election Win, Met in His Office

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. A spy from the former communist superpower, the Soviet Union, congratulated socialist Bernie Sanders in March 1983 for winning re-election as mayor of Burlington, Vermont and for meeting with him in Sanders’ office.

“The documents from the Sanders archives include a letter from Soviet Embassy First Secretary Vadim Kuznetsov in March 1983, congratulating Sanders on his reelection as mayor and thanking Sanders for receiving him in Sanders’s office,” The Washington Post reported on Monday. “Kuznetsov had been in Burlington to attend a conference on nuclear disarmament at the University of Vermont a few days earlier. Neither Sanders nor conference organizers appear to have read a 1976 Time magazine article that identified Kuznetsov as a member of a ‘Soviet intelligence squad’ posing as diplomats to infiltrate U.S. politics.”

The TIME Magazine article that the Post linked to stated: “Posing as diplomats, embassy officials and newsmen, Soviet intelligence agents have been conducting a determined effort to get classified information on Capitol Hill by bribing or compromising staff members in key positions. TIME has learned that in more than a dozen cases in the last decade or so the FBI has stepped in to ‘control’ the relationship, fearing a staffer might begin giving out restricted data.” . . .

Democrat strategist Zac Petkanas posted a copy of the letter and tweeted: “For the love of all that’s holy. The piece links to the actual letter a Soviet official sent Bernie Sanders congratulating him on getting elected. Can you IMAGINE what Trump would do with this?”

Bernie Sanders’s Foreign Policy Is a Risk for Democrats Against Trump

By The Washington Post. . .For decades, the Vermont senator has bucked the foreign policy establishment by championing a foreign policy aligned with socialist regimes around the world. While the other apparent front-runner in the race, former vice president Joe Biden, is running on a familiar, center-left foreign policy approach, Sanders’s vision would represent a stark departure from the platform Democrats have embraced since the end of the Cold War.

Sanders’s opposition to the war in Iraq, preferred trade status for China and the Saudi war in Yemen seem prescient to many voters today. But his history of making common cause with socialist authoritarian regimes dating back to the 1980s has some Democrats worried he would be vulnerable on these issues.

Sanders’s congressional record puts him at odds with the mainstream positions of the Democratic Party. Since being elected in 1990 — he served eight terms as a House member before becoming a senator — Sanders has consistently voted to limit U.S. military interventions abroad, opposed bills that take Israel’s side in the Middle East peace process and argued against sanctions on Iran.

‘I Want to Thank the Lord’: These Super Bowl LIV Winners Give God All the Glory; Patrick Mahomes Leads Chiefs to Late Comeback Win Over 49ers in Thrilling Game

/0 Comments/in , /by

By CBN News. The Kansas City Chiefs are taking home the trophy after winning Super Bowl LIV in Miami, Florida, defeating the San Francisco 49ers 31 – 20 after a remarkable comeback.

After the victory, Chiefs Chairman and CEO Chuck Hunt said, “I want to thank the Lord for blessing us with all these incredible people to bring this trophy home.” . . .

Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named MVP of the Super Bowl, carrying the ball into the end zone on his own for one of the Chiefs’ crucial touchdowns. He’s easily one of the most electrifying players in the league and he says his faith in God is the source of his success.

“Doing what I do every single day, and then knowing that as long I’m doing everything the right way, the way that He’d want me to do it, then I can walk off the field with my head held high and be able to be the man that I’m supposed to be. It’s given me a lot of blessing in my life and I’m trying to maximize and glorify Him in everything I do,” said Mahomes.

The 49ers running back Raheem Mostert played a key role in helping his team take the lead earlier in the big game. Mostert says his faith in God helps him weather the bumps and blows of life. (Read more from “‘I Want to Thank the Lord’: These Super Bowl LIV Winners Give God All the Glory” HERE)

2020 Super Bowl Score: Patrick Mahomes Leads Chiefs to Late Comeback Win Over 49ers in Thrilling Game

By CBS Sports. A chilly, breezy night in South Florida ended with fireworks as the Kansas City Chiefs concluded Super Bowl LIV in signature fashion, coming back from a double-digit deficit to leave Hard Rock Stadium with a double-digit win in Super Bowl LIV, 31-20 over the San Francisco 49ers. After seeing his offense somewhat limited for three quarters, Chiefs star quarterback and game MVP Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City with two fourth-quarter touchdowns, including the go-ahead score, as Kansas City’s defense held San Francisco scoreless over the final 15 minutes. . .

Two weeks after that on Super Bowl Sunday, it again looked like the Chiefs’ run was flat-out over. They didn’t fall down quite as quickly this time around, and that’s what actually made things seem more dire. This time, the Chiefs went down by double digits with just over 2 minutes left in the third quarter, and by midway through the fourth, they had yet to cut into the deficit.

But with 8:33 left on the clock, Mahomes went to work. He found wide receiver Tyreek Hill open in space on multiple occasions, including on a 44-yard bomb that set the Chiefs up in position to score for the first time since early in the second quarter. He then found tight end Travis Kelce open over the top of the defense, but Kelce was interfered with and the ball was placed on the 1-yard line. A fake to running back Damien Williams and a bit of a rollout left Kelce wide open in the end zone on the next play, and the Chiefs had sliced their deficit to just three points. . .

Despite trailing for more than 21 minutes of game time, the Chiefs finally reclaimed the lead. They never relinquished it. In fact, they only added to it with Williams tacking on another score with 1:12 to play as Kansas City was simply attempting to run out the clock for their first Super Bowl victory in half a century. . .

In the end, Mahomes and Williams and Hill and Kelce and Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo (through his unheralded defense) wound up with yet another double-digit playoff victory despite having face a double-digit deficit early in the game. It’s what these Chiefs did all postseason, and it was how they ultimately won Super Bowl LIV.

Google Employees Used Company Resources to Organize Anti-Trump Resistance Events

/0 Comments/in , /by

Google employees interpreted Trump’s election as a terrible outcome that they should have done more to prevent the American people from choosing and something they would work hard to make sure didn’t happen again. Indeed, I obtained documents and communications showing Google employees organizing anti-Trump protests using internal company channels, company time, and company office space.

“If your stomach turns when you consider a Trump presidency, I urge you not to let this moment pass quietly,” one Google employee wrote in an email to coworkers, urging them to attend an anti-Trump protest in San Francisco ten days after Trump’s election.

Another Google employee in March 2017 hosted an anti-Trump resistance event at Google to flood the White House mail room with anti-Trump postcards. “Hi all,” the email began, “I’m participating in #TheIdesofTrump, a national movement to send POTUS a postcard on March 15 expressing opposition to him.” The message stated that employees had reserved a room at Google’s San Francisco headquarters for Google employees to gather and write the anti-Trump postcards.
