Here's the lyrics to Escape From LA.

[Verse 1]
You pillow talk to me about the men who try to get in between us
They buy you bags and jewelry, yeah
They think your kindness is so weak
Know you don't give it up so easy, baby
But you just wanted my attention
You just wanted my affection
You got me tattooed on your mind
You just want me all the time
We'll figure out our shit and find a way (Oh, yeah)
When you say that you need space, I give you space (You space)
Girl, when you're ready, you know where I stay
When it comes to all these hoes, I'll never chase
But this world is such a, such an evil place
Man, these hoes will always find a way
'Cause when I'm on the liquor, I go crazy
And for that pussy, you know I'm a slave, yeah
The Weeknd is turned up.

[Chorus]
Well this place is never what it seems
Take me out, LA
Take me out of LA
This place will be the end of me
Take me out, LA
Take me out of LA, yeah

[Verse 2]
Yeah
I'm in the Spyder Porsche cruisin' down the street
Black on black venom colored seats
Keanu Reeves, the way a nigga speed
Diamond cross hangin' off of me
I'm fighting for my soul, Constantine
And it's slowly burning, it was never cheap
If you seen what I seen, you wouldn't sleep
I can't sleep
'Cause I got everything I wanted
Got the money, got the cars, got the ceiling with the stars
Got everything I wanted
But I'd be nothing without you
Gave you everything you wanted
Gave you power, gave you life, gave you space so you can shine
Gave you everything you wanted
But none of that matters to you, oh-oh

[Chorus]
This place (This place) is never what it seems
Take me out, LA
Take me out of LA
(Oh, out of it, woah-oh) This place will be the end of me
Take me out, LA
Take me out of LA, yeah

[Bridge]
Woah, no, oh, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, ooh-woah
Oh-ah, no, no, no, no, woah-woah
Oh, no, oh
Hold up
She pulled up to the studio
Nobody's watching
She closed the door and then she locked it
For me, for me
We had sex in the studio
Nobody walked in
I cut my verse and then she popped it
For me, for me
LA girls all look the same
I can't recognize
The same work done on they face
I don't criticize
She a cold-hearted bitch with no shame
But her throat too fire
She got Chrome Hearts hangin' from her neck
And them shits going wild
When she ride, she hold tight
She gon' ride 'til sweat fall down her spine
She's all mine for the night
She's all mine until he calls her line

[Outro]
She pulled up to the studio
Nobody's watching
She closed the door and then she locked it
For me, for me
We had sex in the studio
Nobody walked in
I cut my verse and then she popped it
For me, for me
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Prince Albert II Of Monaco Got The Coronavirus!

Prince Albert II of Monaco has the coronavirus.
The playboy royal of Europe's tiniest nation tested positive.

Prince Albert II, head of state of the Principality of Monaco announced he was tested positive for the coronavirus.

The status of the ruler's health "is not worrying at all," the palace added in a statement.
The city-state of Monaco.
Albert was tested for the COVID-19 earlier this week. The 62-year old is continuing to work from his office in his private estate and remains in contact with members of his cabinet and government.

He is the reigning monarch of Monaco, a tiny city-state encompassed by France. The country is really beautiful. Millionaires and elites live in Monaco. Folks travel through Monaco visit Monte Carlo and the casinos and beaches. You have to have at least $250,000 (US) to live in parts of that country.

They have little crime and its a paradise for Americans, Brits and French entertainers.

The Prince of Monaco is the head of state. He is one of the wealthiest royals in the world. He took over after his father Prince Rainier III passed away in 2005. He mother was Grace Kelly, an American actress who married Rainier in the 1956 but died tragically in a car accident in 1982.

Albert is a controversial figure. He was a bachelor who had a playboy lifestyle. He has been known to have numerous affairs on his wife. He is married to South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock.

He has five children. Two from Charlene. He has Gabriella Therese Marie and Jacques Honore Rainier. He also has three other children. His oldest daughter is Jazmin Grace Grimaldi with Tamara Rotolo. He has a son, Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, with Nicole Coste. Another son is being disputed by the royal. He allegedly slept with Bea Fiedler and had a son, Daniel with her.



A Gnat Inside The White House!

Tokens please. Far-right Asian-American agitator tosses Trump a softball during an emergency presser.
We have millions of people out of jobs. We have businesses shutting down across the states. We have children not in school. We have adults not working in industries that many depend on. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ averages have went into bear country. It wiped away the gains under this moronic president.

Americans depend on a president to answer questions dealing with a national emergency. He is to be held accountable for his actions. If he was not up for the challenge, why run for president? I mean the damage is going to be extremely great. Folks can't live on a measly government check being tossed to them from our millionaire legislators. I mean a handful of senators became millionaires by selling stock before the pandemic. If you're not happy the Congress or the White House, you're not alone.

The press has a right to know what the public should do. Many governors are making risky moves to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Folks are being told to stay off the roads out of the hospitals if they're not sick. They want to eliminate a problem we cannot control. We didn't get advance notice nor a strategy to quarantine this problem.

Yet, this idiot who reports for Russian-propaganda asks the most dumbest question in regards to a controversial remark made by Donald J. Trump.

One America News Network has a White House reporter who is also their editorial illustrator.

Chanel Rion who has access to the White House press room asked Trump a question that generated a ton of controversy.

"Mr. President, do you consider the term "Chinese food" to be racist because it is food that originated from China?" asked Rion.

Trump replied, " I don't think that's racist at all."

The remarks were tied into Trump's constant reminder that the coronavirus is the "China Flu" or "Chinese Flu".

Many Asian Americans have seen a spike in hate crimes towards them because of this virus. Some believe Trump's use of that term is racist.

She tied in a word vomit of conspiracies and ad hominem attacks.
Kookspiracy reporter is an avid illustrator. 
"On that note, major left-wing media, even in this room, have teamed up with Chinese communist party narratives, and they are claiming you are racist for making these claims about 'Chinese virus', said Rion. "It is alarming that major media players, just to oppose you, are siding with foreign state propaganda, Islamic radicals, and Latin gangs and cartels and they work right here out of the White House with direct access to you and your team?"

"It amazes me when I read the things that I read," Trump replied with a grin, before going on a tirade about the junk food media.

" I don't think anybody has done as much as I have done in three years," he said. "[The Trump Administration] has done a great job. But the press is very dishonest.

Rion interjected by claiming the American journalists are siding with China.

Trump then went on his usual rant about how The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The New York Times have been

COVID-19 has claim more lives in Italy than in China. The virus has hit the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the five U.S. territories and military bases.
This nut drew Maxine Waters inside a peach.
About 300 people allegedly have died because of this virus. In my state of Ohio, all the 88 counties has at least someone testing positive for the deadly disease.

Gov. Mike DeWine has all but shut down most of Ohio. He doesn't have a plan to get things back to normal. He and many other governors are risking economic collapse because of Trump's failure to take the threat seriously.

Hopefully, this idiot Chanel Rion doesn't catch the coronavirus. She certainly doesn't take the disease seriously.

Here's Frank Luntz posting a segment of Rion talking about the coronavirus being made in North Carolina.



Remember Barack Obama got riled up at a Newmax reporter asking him a dumbass question.



Sick Pay!

Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and four Senators were caught doing insider trading during the pandemic.
A handful of U.S. Senators cashed in before the pandemic. This earned criticism and also a federal probe into "insider trading."

Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) is facing controversy over the allegations. He along with Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) were making a profit off the pain and suffering of millions of Americans who may diagnosed with the coronavirus.

The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee sold off between $500,000 to $2 million in his stock holding as he was getting word of the coronavirus spreading into facilities like casinos, hotels, schools, hospitals. Burr had stock in the hospitality industry.
Newly sworn Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) was caught in this scandal.
Burr told donors and allies that he sees massive problems ahead.

Loeffler, the newly appointed Georgia senator found herself already in a hot mess. It's only three months in as the junior senator.

Loeffler and her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange reportedly sold off $3.1 million in stock with the first sale in the company Resideo Technologies worth an estimated $50,000 and S100,000 on January 24.

The same day Loeffler's committee, the Senate Health Committee hosted a private, all senators briefing with administration officials, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the world renowned disease expert.

The Daily Beast said that Loeffler made a total of 29 stock transactions through mid-February.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)  was involved in insider trading.
ProPublica reported that on February 13, Burr sold stock holdings in 29 separate transactions.

Burr dumped $150,000 worth of shares of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts stocks and $100,000 worth of shares of Extended Stay America.

The lawmaker was caught on tape making warnings to donors.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and even Sucker Tucker are calling upon the senators involved to resign or face criminal charges.




Burr and Loeffler deny any wrongdoing.











Burr was caught on tape talking at the Capitol Hill Club, a social club for Republicans located steps away from the Capitol Building.

"Every company should be cognizant of the fact that you may have to alter your travel. You may have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip they're making to Europe is essential or whether it can be done on video conference. 'Why risk it?'" Burr told attendees.

He also previewed school shutdowns.
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) voted against the Families Act and was caught doing insider trading.
"There will be, I'm sure, times that communities, probably some in North Carolina, have a transmission rate where they say, 'Let's close schools for two weeks. Everybody stay home,'" said Burr.

He said the military could be utilized.

"We're going to send a military hospital there; it's going to be in tents and going to be set up on the ground somewhere," he said. "It's going to be a decision the president and the (Department of Defense) make. And we're going to have medical professionals supplemented by local staff to treat the people that need treatment," he added.

Burr was not sounding the alarm publicly. The Republicans and Donald J. Trump said that this was a "Democrat hoax."

The Raw Story says that Johnson, the longtime Wisconsin senator was caught selling equity before the market crashed. The exact amount is unknown, as ethics form only require disclosure in broad ranges, but Johnson reportedly selling over $5 million that day -- and potentially up to $25 million.

They reported that Inhofe, a far-white lawmaker who voted against the bipartisan Coronavirus Emergency Bill that Trump signed into law this week.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) was caught doing insider trading.
Inhofe is a climate change denier. He is huge supporter of the gas, oil and coal industry. He is a bigot and is one of the remaining far-white lawmakers still not willing to support civil rights legislation.

Well his ass was caught selling large stock holding after private briefings on the coronavirus spreading into the United States.

Fox News, Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch's Republican propaganda network reports that Feinstein, a strong backer of the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and AIPAC is caught in this mess as well. The longtime Democratic lawmaker was caught selling off stock.

The data is listed on a U.S. Senate website containing financial disclosures from Senate members.

Feinstein and her husband sold between $2 million and $6 million in stock in a California biotech company Allegene Therapeutics between January and February.

When questioned by the junk food media, Feinstein's spokesman denies the allegations.

"All of Senator Feinstein's assets are in a blind trust. She has no involvement in her husband's financial decisions."

However, she does get daily briefings on financial affairs. Hmmm....

Ben McAdams: I Got The Coronavirus!

Rep. Ben McAdams (D-UT) got the corornavirus.
Freshman Democrat from Utah confirms he has the coronavirus.

Rep. Ben McAdams (D-UT) announced from his home he was tested positive for the coronavirus.

"What I've been told by the House physician is that anyone who had close contact with me from Friday onward should be concerned and should probably take precautions," McAdams said.

He said this is worse than the common cold.

The Utah lawmaker said that there aren't a lot of members who would be in that category, but the "few members that I had contact with in that period probably should be quarantined."

McAdams started feeling sick on Saturday, but only mildly so. His doctor didn't think his symptoms - a temperature of 100 and a cough -- justified getting tested for COVID-19. But then took a "turn for the worse" from Monday night into Tuesday, when he had a temperature of 103 and his lungs were really constricted, he said.

"I felt like I had a belt around my chest, so I couldn't breathe deeply," McAdams said. He would then see his doctor and he was confirmed of having this.

He joins Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) in having this.

Tulsi Gabbard Lost In The Forest!

Tulsi Gabbard finally exits the race.
The outgoing Hawai'ian lawmaker finally ended her charade

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) announced that she is dropping her bid to run for president and has formally endorsed Joe Biden.

The last female and person of color left in the race for the Democratic nomination, Gabbard was considered the most controversial figure in the race. She often tangled with Democrats and has been very critical of 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

"Today I'm suspending my presidential campaign and offering my full support to Vice President Joe Biden in his quest to bring our country together," said Gabbard in a video presser.

In endorsing Biden, Gabbard said that "although I may not agree with the vice president on every issue, I know he has a good heart, and he's motivated by his love for our country and the American people."





"I'm confident that he will lead our country guided by the spirit of aloha, respect and compassion, and thus help heal the divisiveness that has been tearing our country apart," she said.

Gabbard closely tied the reasons for her withdrawal from the race to be the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, saying that "the best way that I can be of service at this time is to continue to work for the health and well-being of the people of Hawai'i and our country in Congress, and to stand ready to serve in uniform should the Hawai'ian National Guard be activated."

Gabbard born in American Samoa is an outgoing U.S. Representative who served two tours of duty in the Middle East with the Hawai'i Army National Guard -- in Iraq from 2004-2005 and in Kuwait from 2008-2009 -- and stepped away from her campaign in August to report for active duty, participating in a two-week joint training exercise in Indonesia.

She is the third longest running presidential candidate.

Gabbard left a trail of controversy. She had little to lose in this quest. She formally announced that she was not seeking reelection. She was facing a primary challenger who was hoping to take her down.

She spread Russian talking points about Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee. Gabbard called Clinton the "Queen of Warmongers" when the former Democratic nominee for president went on a podcast with claims that Russia and the Republican Party is "grooming" a candidate to become a spoiler in the race. Gabbard sued Clinton for $50 million for slander.

Gabbard was anti-Muslim and had criticized Barack Obama's responses to the Islamic State.

She was a backer of the dictator Bashar Assad of Syria. She supported the Syrian military strikes on the Kurdish forces. She wanted the United States to stay out of the Syrian affair.

She was then a Republican who preached anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. She supported controversial religious leaders and a Hindu nationalist. She won praise from Ann Coulter, Gavin McInnes, David Duke and other white extremists.

Gabbard, then co-chair of the DNC endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 2016 Democratic Primaries. She got into a feud with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), then chairwoman of the DNC over how the primaries were ran. Gabbard shortly resigned from the DNC after endorsing Sanders.

Her support for Biden became the latest blow to the weaken Sanders. He is still "assessing" his campaign. The brutal defeats in Washington, Florida, Illinois and Arizona has Sanders considering conceding the race as well. He still hasn't confirmed whether he'll continue any further. His supporters are still trolling online.

It's ironic. She voted "present" in the impeachment of Donald J. Trump. She still endorsed Biden despite Trump's wooing her to become a Republican. That present vote did hurt her standing with Democrats.

She only had at least three appearances on the debate floor. Gabbard did managed to hurt the campaign of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-HI) during one of the debates.

Matter of fact, the bots and trolls are criticizing Gabbard for endorsing Biden over Sanders.

Now Gabbard is likely to head over to Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch's Fox News as a contributor.

Gabbard has appeared on Sucker Tucker and Sean "Softball" Hannity's shitshows. She has been very vocal about the Democratic Party.



Bernie Sanders Is Running Out Of Gas!

The end is near for Bernie Sanders. His campaign is running out of options to stay in the race.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is not happy about the results on Tuesday. Now he's considering his options to whether he continues on or drops out.

Former Vice President Joe Biden defeated Sanders in Florida, Arizona and Illinois. The three states held their primary elections on Tuesday. Ohio postponed theirs. Regardless, voters came out in droves to vote for Biden.

Sanders and his supporters were hoping that governors would hold off the primaries because of the national emergency. That tactic didn't work. He was trounced in these states and Biden netted most of the delegates to push him closer to the nomination.

The Vermont senator returned to Washington, DC to vote on the bipartisan bill that gives Americans laid off due to the coronavirus some cash. This cash won't do much to help boast the economy. I mean it's going to be money wasted and a recession is coming. Due to Donald J. Trump's failure to acknowledge the threat, the United States is a pandemic. The 50 states, five U.S. territories and military installation are affected by the coronavirus.

The service industry which employs over 50 million people is struggling. The airline industry, the hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants and casinos), educational institutions (public, private, charter, universities and colleges), sports/entertainment and health care facilities are having an overwhelming problem with the government's handling of this.

I am affected by the coronavirus. My employer is the casino industry. Ohio's governor Mike DeWine shut down all facilities that have over 100 people. Casinos and racinos are affected. I am a member of the industry and my well paying job is practically gone. I don't believe I'm eligible for unemployment. But we'll see.

Sanders was a champion of progressive policies. But his policies were not popular with many in the Midwest, the South and Sun Belt.

Sanders strongly believed that Biden is a weak candidate going against Trump. However, he's the one losing to Biden for the nomination.

Biden believes that the Russian Federation and its president (possibly for life) Vladimir Putin wants Trump as the nominee. The Russian troll farm has been running constantly on Biden's weakness.

Today, Sanders got angry at a CNN reporter when he questioned him on what his campaign is planning on doing.

"I'm dealing with a fucking global crisis," said Sanders as he was heading to the Senate floor for a vote. "[Right now] I'm trying to do my best to make sure that we don't have an economic meltdown and that people don't die. Is that enough for you to keep me busy for today?"

Given that road to the nomination is all but over, would Sanders continue on?

"We are assessing the state of our campaign. There's not going to be an election for another three weeks. We are talking to our supporters. Anybody who suggest that at this point we are ending the campaign is not telling the truth."

Biden's strongest supporters are getting agitated with the Sanders campaign's decision to keep going despite the delegate count not being in his favor.

The Sanders Campaign has also put a halt to the social media outreach and wasn't airing television ads in many other states for now. His campaign manager Faiz Shakir said that there was "no sugarcoating it, last night did not go the way we wanted."

Shakir said that Sanders and his wife Jane "are going to get on a plane back to Vermont. Once there, they'll begin holding conversations with supporters to get input and assess the path forward for our campaign. We will keep you updated as those conversations progress."

Former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton warned that Sanders' stubbornness could impact the eventual Democratic nominee. She said that his refusal to exit the race will hurt their chances to beat Trump.

She said, "Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he gets nothing done. He was a career politician. It's just all baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it."

Bill Weld Ran Out Of Gas!

Bill Weld pulls the plug after he failed his quest to oust Trump.
The Republican nomination quest is over for former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld.

Donald J. Trump has enough delegates to be the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination for president. Of course, he is the incumbent in office and has at least a 55% chance of winning reelection. It massively dropped over the past three weeks due to his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

He will sign a bipartisan bill that Congress pass to give emergency aid to Americans who were laid off because of state governors declaring a public health emergency to shut down employers.

I am one of the many millions who were affected by government's decisions to close up businesses that have over 100 people inside. What sucks is that if we get this stimulus payment, in the end, we'll have to repay it back plus interest. We will not reboot the economy with measly amounts of dollars.

No candidate since John F. Kennedy ever became president. Massachusetts must be a state with a curse.

Bill Weld joins Mitt Romney, Michael Dukakis, Deval Patrick, Mitt Romney, John Kerry, Edward Kennedy, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) as failed candidates from Massachusetts.

The former governor never had a shot because of Ronna Romney McDaniel. The Republican chairwoman approved state leaders to cancel caucuses and primary challengers.

Trump easily secured enough delegates to become the nominee for the Republican Party.

Weld who had face obstacles from the start launched his campaign as a protest against Trump.

"I have decided to suspend my candidacy for President of the United States, effective immediately."

The former governor was the first candidate to challenge Trump for the Republican nomination. He told CNN's Jake Tapper that he would "fear for the Republic" if Trump was reelected.

"Leading this movement is one of the greatest honors of my life, and I will always be indebted to all who have played a part," Weld said on Wednesday.

"But while I am suspending my candidacy, I want to be clear that I am not suspending my commitment to the nation and to the democratic institutions that set us apart."

Weld was then the former 2016 vice presidential nominee for Gary Johnson, the former Republican governor of New Mexico who ran in 2012 in the Republican primary and Libertarian in 2016.

Weld hated Trump and wrote pieces critical of the guy. He said that Trump was dishonest and unworthy of being president. He said his legacy will be marred with conspiracy, paranoia, dishonesty and stupidity.

Weld is considered a perennial candidate. He tried to unseat John Kerry in the Massachusetts senate bid in 1996. He tried to seek out the nomination for governor in New York but lost.

Weld has appeared on MSNBC as a contributor at one time.

Former Illinois Republican congressman and conservative agitator Joe Walsh dropped out the race recently. He said that despite his disdain for progressives, he sees Joe Biden as the only candidate capable of bringing American from the brink of destruction. He voted for the Democratic candidate on Tuesday.



Mario Diaz-Balart: I Got The Coronavirus!

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) got the coronavirus.
The coronavirus is spreading across the United States and it's impacted every corner of the country.

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) announced on Wednesday became the first member of Congress to announce that he tested positive for coronavirus, saying he had been stricken with a fever and headache this weekend.

That means he's been around many of his staffers, his fellow Republicans and some Democrats.

That means he's been at Mar a Largo with Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence. Who knows how he contracted the virus, but he's pretty much got a lot of people exposed to it. His brother is Jose Diaz-Balart, a well known NBC and Telemundo reporter.

The virus has already affect others on Capitol Hill. Two congressional staffers were infected with the virus and a handful of lawmakers have self-quarantined at both the state and federal levels.

"In an abundance of caution, after votes on Friday, March 13th, Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart decided to self-quarantine in Washington, DC, and not to return to South Florida because of his wife's Tia's pre-existing conditions that put her at exceptionally high risk," said his office. "On Saturday evening, Congressman Diaz-Balart developed symptoms, including a fever and a headache. Just a short while ago, he was notified that he has tested positive for COVID-19. While in quarantine Diaz-Blart has been working from his apartment in Washington, DC."

The lawmaker has said he's "feeling much better."

Republicans and Democrats are facing a problem. They have to get their act together. Many people (including myself) are out of a job due to the state governors closing businesses that cater to more than 50 people.

Millions of Americans are laid off. Now Congress is passing emergency bills to hand off money to laid off employees affected by the coronavirus.

We're in a recession.

Once again, this is proof positive that Republicans are terrible at handling the economy. They believe austerity is the key to growth. Cutting the safety net, punishing immigrants and rolling back regulations led to this result.

Now with uncertainty, American faces a rough road ahead.

Democrats won't fare better. Given that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) continues his quest to the nomination despite he's mathematically eliminated from the nomination, Joe Biden will likely be weaken by Sanders and Trump's onslaught of misinformation.

Biden Hot On A Tuesday!

Joe Biden sweeps. He carries Illinois, Arizona and Florida. He will likely win Ohio in June.
Despite Ohio governor Mike DeWine delaying the Ohio primaries, the Democratic candidate Joe Biden still managed to sweep the remaining states this Tuesday.

Biden trounced Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in Florida, Illinois and Arizona. It stretched his lead into the over 1,100 delegates making him the presumptive nominee.

The Sanders Campaign and his trolls were calling for the governors to postpone primaries because of the coronavirus. The governors Doug Ducey, Ron DeSantis and J.B. Pritzker said the primaries will go on.

Folks came out despite the coronavirus. Sanders was hoping that younger voters would turnout and older voters stayed at home. Turns out that all the groups came out and voted.

The conspiracy nuts wanted to make the issue about Biden stealing votes. No.

Sanders couldn't put together a coalition. His supporters are despicable and conspiracy nuts. His comments about Fidel Castro didn't help much with Floridians who are Cuban-American. He also lost appeal with Hispanic and Latino voters in Arizona, a state that trends more purple. The state voted for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). Sinema, a former progressive activist has become one of the many moderate lawmakers who fears Sanders could hurt Mark Kelly's bid to unseat Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ).

Sinema endorsed Biden in the primary.

The argument continues to be Biden isn't capable of beating Trump. Yet, Sanders is being defeated by Biden. So what does this tell you? The logic doesn't make a bit of sense. If you're stuck on stupid, fine.

For Sanders to continue on is time consuming.

This defeat should be a warning to Sanders. His message is not appealing to Democratic voters. He cannot build a coalition of moderates or people of color.

He got the backing of folks like Briahna Joy Gray, Shaun King, Michael Moore, Nina Turner, Cornel West, Jesse Jackson, Thom Hartmann, Ryan Knight, Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks and the Bernie Bros.

The behavior of these folks became an ultimate turnoff to Democrats.

Don't blame Biden for Sanders loss. It was Sanders stubbornness and unwillingness to sacrifice for the good of all. This all or nothing attitude works for Republicans. They are paying the price for sticking with Trump.

Why does the party want another impulsive agitator?





Tom Brady Heads South!

Tom Brady heads to Florida.
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr. is heading to the south. He will join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFC South's least productive team.

He made his announcement today that he is leaving the New England Patriots. A team that he carried for over 20 years with six Super Bowl Championship.

Tom Brady's decision to go free agent was expected. Brady was getting frustrated with the team and he felt that he could no longer carry the team through its deficits.

At age 42, Brady says he still has the juice to play and he's willing to keep the momentum going.

Every team in the NFL and even the Canadian Football League wanted him.

Brady's signing to the Tampa Bay Bucc was a deal that nets him $30 million per year.

Brady's big move down south comes after a whirlwind day of speculation. Brady announced on early Tuesday that he would not return to the Patriots in 2020.

The Los Angeles Charges and Buccs wanted him. The Tennessee Titans settled with Ryan Tannehill, so they didn't want him. The Rams let Philip Rivers become a free agent and he would eventually join the Indianapolis Colts.

Jameis Winston who is also a free agent is also considered moving. He's been with the Buccs for five years and has voice frustration with the team leadership.

Controversial owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels issued a statement on Brady's departure.
20 years with the New England Patriots comes to an end.

Robert Kraft

"How do I possibly sum up the depth of my gratitude to Tom Brady for what he's given us these past 20 years, or the sadness I feel knowing it's ending? I love Tom like a son and I always will. He has brought so much happiness to me personally and to all of our fans. I had hoped this day would never come, but rather that Tom would end his remarkable career in a Patriots uniform after yet another Super Bowl championship. Unfortunately, the two sides were unable to reach an agreement to allow that dream to become a reality. While sad today, the overwhelming feeling I have is appreciation for his countless contributions to our team and community.

"When Tom arrived in New England as an unheralded, sixth-round pick, no one could have imagined the fairytale story that would be written, the records that would be broken or the joy he would bring to an entire region. He leaves 20 years later as the winningest quarterback in NFL history with six Super Bowl victories, nine AFC titles and 17 division championships. He has been an exemplary teammate and leader. There simply will never be another Tom Brady. I now look forward to the day we can bring him back home to New England to celebrate his Patriots career, his endless achievements and his legacy as the greatest of all time. I love him very much."

Bill Belichick

"Tom was not just a player who bought into our program. He was one of its original creators. Tom lived and perpetuated our culture. On a daily basis, he was a tone setter and a bar raiser. He won championships in three of his first four years on the field and in three of his final six seasons with us, while competing for championships in most every season in between. This is a credit to Tom's consistency and what separates him. He didn't just perform. He didn't just win. He won championships over and over again.

"Tom and I will always have a great relationship built on love, admiration, respect and appreciation. Tom's success as a player and his character as a person are exceptional. Nothing about the end of Tom's Patriots career changes how unfathomably spectacular it was. With his relentless competitiveness and longevity, he earned everyone's adoration and will be celebrated forever. It has been a privilege to coach Tom Brady for 20 years.

"Examples of Tom's greatness are limitless, going back even before he was drafted. We witnessed how he prepared when he wasn't playing, how he performed when he got his opportunity, what he did to continuously improve, his leadership, his mindset, the example he set, and, of course, the person he is. I am extremely grateful for what he did for our team and for me personally.

"Sometimes in life, it takes some time to pass before truly appreciating something or someone but that has not been the case with Tom. He is a special person and the greatest quarterback of all-time."

Josh McDaniels

"I have so much gratitude for Tom Brady. He has made me a better coach and more importantly a better person. He has always been genuinely kind and caring to me and my family. Yet at the same time, I have never met anyone as demanding and relentless in his pursuit of improvement, perfection and championships. His work ethic and drive propelled our offense and our team to perform at the very highest level throughout his career. He represented all of us with class and integrity. We will miss his passion and intensity, his character and wisdom, and his preparation and diligence. I will miss all the meetings, FaceTimes, emails and texts in our pursuit of a good play. He always performed his best in the most critical times under the most significant pressure. I have never coached a tougher player in my career.

Although I feel a great sadness knowing that he is leaving the Patriots, I am grateful for the years we were together and beyond blessed to call him my friend. He has made an indelible impact on my life and career and I will forever be in his debt.

He defined what it means to be a "Patriot." He is the best quarterback to ever play in the NFL. I wish him nothing but great happiness and success in all that he does. There will never be another Tom Brady.

A new chapter for the "Golden Child." Tom Brady helped Boston and New England for 20 years. He made the New England Patriots the team a popular franchise.

Dan Lipinski Got Berned!

Marie Newman defeats Dan Lipinski, a longtime Democrat who votes like a Republican.
Rematch. This time he couldn't stop her.

Progressive challenger beats Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL). The eight-term Democratic lawmaker who is a conservative lawmaker was defeated by five points in the Illinois Democratic primary.

Marie Newman is going to be the Democratic nominee going into this general election.

Newman had the backing of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Pramilia Jayapal (D-WA), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA),  Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and progressive groups.

Lipinski is a conservative Democrat who voted against 75% of Barack Obama's agenda and supported nearly 80% of Donald J. Trump's agenda. He did vote to impeach Trump in December.

He represents the Illinois' 3rd U.S. Congressional District. The district is a solid Democratic district.

His district covers southwestern Chicago, parts of Cook and DuPage Counties. He was one of the two Democrats who face a serious challenger in the priamry.

The other lawmaker facing a primary challenger was Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX). He managed to fend off a challenger in his primary.

The only Democrat who decided to abandon the party was Jeff Van Drew.
Democrat Dan Lipinski defeat was huge. The lawmaker may run as a Republican.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) voted against impeaching Trump. He appeared on Fox News to boast about his decision to not support impeachment. He also decided to leave the party shortly after.

This district went to Sanders in the 2016 Democratic Primary.

I have a feeling that he may bolt from the Democratic Party and challenge her as a Republican if the state allows it.

Newman is a Chicago-area businesswoman who challenged Lipinski in 2018 but lost by two points.

Lipinski is the son of Bill Lipinski. He earned the reputation as one of the most conservative Democrats in the House of Representatives. He refused to endorse Barack Obama in 2016 and didn't support Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders during their primaries and didn't support Clinton in the general.

He supported the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case that allows a woman's right to choose whether they can have a termination during pregnancy. He was anti-LGBTQ and supported the Defense of Marriage Act, a law that banned gay marriage across the country.

He didn't support the DREAM Act which would give immigrant children brought into the United States an opportunity to become American citizens through hard work.

He didn't support the Affordable Care Act. He strongly opposed the legislation.

He supports the NRA and endorsed the gun lobby.

He was a part of the status quo in Washington. Something that progressive activists tire of.

The Republicans have a weak field of candidates. One of the candidates running is a white extremist.

Arthur Jones wants a rematch against the Democratic nominee. If he does end up becoming the nominee again, Republicans could coach Lipinski into switching parties.
