Jonathan Turley is rightly upset by Nancy Pelosi's demolishing of decades of tradition

But she's a radical, a revolutionary, an enemy of America. Should we expect less?

The country hangs by a thread.

[S]he should resign as the speaker of the House of Representatives. 



They laughed out loud at this woman when she predicted Trump would be the GOP nominee


Iowa Democrats' "candidate viability" is undemocratic

Every vote in Iowa should count, but doesn't.

Clinton-Lewinsky brand cigars will get you every time


In a Linn County Iowa precinct only three candidates were viable for round two, but Warren (and "uncommitted"!) made it there but not Biden who received more votes: The delegate awarded to Warren should have gone to BootyJudge


In a Marshall County Iowa precinct there weren't enough delegates to go around using rounding, so the winner Bernie didn't get a bonus for winning and Warren actually forfeited a delegate, apparently in a coin toss with Klobuchar


In this precinct in Fayette County Iowa 69 appeared to vote in round one, 70 in round two

And then for viability to get to round two 69 is crossed out and 70 penciled in, but for assigning delegates after round two it's back to 69 again even though 70 voted in round two!

The extra vote appears to come from the final "t" in "Bennet", which is scratched out in round one, where the "t" appears to have been misread as "1".

Two conflicting methods of rounding are also used. Any decimal is rounded up to the next whole number for viability purposes, but for apportioning delegates the traditional .5 or above rule is used. BootyJudge got only 3 delegates this way, leaving one delegate of the 8 unassigned, but he was given the extra delegate, correctly, because he was the overall winner.

Democrat math, where every vote counts until it doesn't.

Good enough for government work.



Bernie and Yang judged "non-viable" in Dubuque precinct 1 because neither received 15% of the votes in round one


Nancy Pelosi: We'll decide what's despicable and shameful around here, buster


You mean like with a pen or something?


The legacy of Trump's incompetence at the border is a doubled backlog of asylum cases under his watch


Acquitted, but they still hate his guts


Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is muting expectations for 2020 GDP growth as Wall Street predicts a pathetic 1.8%

“I think our projections have been reduced because of Boeing and other impacts,” he told the Fox Business Network from the White House. “I think we would have hit 3%, but again, Boeing has had a big impact on our exports, being the largest exporter.”

“I think that could be 50 basis points or not more,” he added. ...

Wall Street consensus forecast for 2020 GDP is around 1.8% and the Federal Reserve’s forecast is 2%.
