Whether it’s Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg or Joe Biden, the country will get a choice between a defender of the status quo ante — Donald Trump — and a radical vision to shake American capitalism to its foundations.
Schools in America should provide an objective view of American history.
Money can buy almost anything, but it can’t buy safety from the arrows of the envious. That’s the takeaway from televised debate crossfire that a six-pack of bitter 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls trained on one another, and on a billionaire newcomer just entering the race. It’s hard to pick a winner out of the chaos, but the losers are obvious: Michael Bloomberg and the American people.
“Like grave robbers opening King Tut’s tomb, Congress can’t wait to get its hands on America’s retirement account assets,” the Wall Street Journal warned taxpayers last year.
In the land of political toadstools, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is a giant. Even without a box to stand on behind the debate podium.
In just three years, the Trump administration has finished renegotiating a trade agreement with Canada and Mexico and hammered out new trade agreements with Japan and China.
Mr. Bloomberg appears to be imitating President Barack Obama’s “apology tour” by regularly expressing regret for a “stop-and-frisk” policy in minority neighborhoods.
Bernie Sanders may be irascible but he’s real; he may be off-putting but he’s not without purpose; he clearly has full-throated spleen for corruption and greed in the private sector, but also a full-spirited passion for the plight of the downcast and the down-trodden.
With less than a month to go until voting is held in Super Tuesday primaries, Democratic presidential candidates may want to consider how their positions on gun control will affect their chances at the ballot, particularly in Virginia.
The New York Times just released a report about the intelligence community's concerns that Russia is winding into gear to reelect President Donald Trump this November. Make way for the Russia Collusion Two, same as the first: all lies, lots of impeachable possibilities.
After watching the blithering and blather of the Democratic candidates for president in Las Vegas, I am convinced there was zero leadership potential on that stage. Michael Bloomberg was dense and unprepared, but the most outrageous candidate of all was Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose mindless policies, ill-defined and opaque, would financially overwhelm American society with endless promises of free goods and services for everybody — except, that is, the wealthy, who would undoubtedly leave this country before the destruction of the Sanders policies were finalized.
Unfortunately for Michael Bloomberg, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas ("Tom Steyer: Sounded like Mike Bloomberg was running in the 'wrong primary,'" Web, Feb. 20).
"The Splendid and the Vile" tells of a resonant time when a ship-of-state flounders through chartless seas with a feckless harlequin on the bridge while citizen-passengers argue and anguish.
President Donald Trump has named Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, as the new acting director of national intelligence, and now the anti-Trumping faction is going nuts, claiming Grenell does not possess the necessary requirements to successfully serve in the position. Hmm. But Leon Panetta, ex-CIA chief, did?
President Trump was winning the Democratic presidential nomination debate in Nevada on Wednesday until former New York City Mayor and billionaire Mike Bloomberg stopped dodging, weaving and apologizing -- and started punching.
Pete Buttigieg, in a CNN town hall, suggested Christians who support President Donald Trump aren't acting in accordance with the Christian faith. And then he kissed his gay "husband" and skipped off the set, exit, stage right. Not really. But you get the picture.
Finding any little edge "just part of the game," the former Mets and Nationals manager told Thom Loverro.
Hell hath no fury like a deep stater scorned. Anyone believing that losers in the campaign to take out President Trump would apologize or slink away is sadly deluded or comfortably stoned. Though the core of their strategy failed when the Senate acquitted the president of articles of impeachment, the president's enemies battle on to wound him by grinding up his associates while protecting their own.
