Former vice president Joseph R. Biden Jr., has won the 2020 US presidential election and will become the 46th President of the United States of America. Nearly a week after voting ended, the state of Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes finally vaulted the former vice president under President Barack Obama, to the US presidency, giving millions in America and the world a chance to breath easier. Throughout his campaign, Biden argued that the “soul of the nation” is at stake, and has promised that he would seek to heal a country fractured by Trump’s presidency. Now he gets a chance to do that. Cal ..read more

As expected, following his poor performance on Super Tuesday, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced this morning that he is bowing out of the 2020 presidential race.

Today, I am leaving the race for the same reason: to defeat Donald Trump – because it is clear to me that staying in would make achieving that goal more diffi ..read more

From Texas to Massachusetts, the pundits were wrong on Tuesday. Former Vice President Joe Biden scored shocking victory after victory in the Democratic presidential contest Tuesday night.

For a man who was the Mayor of one of the most diverse cities in the world, the question of crime should not be a racial issue. But not to Mayor Michael Bloomberg. To him, crimes only happen in the black and brown communities and only minorities commit crimes. Speaking to a mostly white audience in 2015, Bloomberg said police throughout the U.S. should focus on minority communities “because that’s where all the crime is.” Bloomberg who was speaking to members of the Aspen Institute in Colorado on 5 February 2015, said that male minorities are the ones that perpetrate “the real crime.” He was d ..read more

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire Democratic primary on Tuesday. He beat Mayor Pete Buttigeig by less than 4000 votes at the last count. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota was third. Perhaps the surprising result was turned in by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts who had been expected to do well considering the proximity of her state to New Hampshire. She finished fourth with 9.3 percent of the vote. Former Vice President Joe Biden all but gave up New Hampshire when he announced during the day that he was leaving the state for South Carolina where he is expected to d ..read more

Right wing backers of President Donald Trump’s campaign who flooded the telephone lines of the Iowa Democratic Party this week may have received directions from The White House and Trump campaign officials. The actions by the trolls made it impossible for Iowa precinct chairs to report caucus results. Our sources told us this morning there are indications that someone in the White House or Trump campaign was directing the operations. “Yes, we are starting to see clues here and there that none of that was an accident. It wasn’t just social media trolls doing their thing. We are seeing clues ..read more

The moment former Vice President Joe Biden declared his candidacy for president of United States, I knew I had my candidate. I love “Old Joe”. For starters, he was President Barack Obama’s vice president and right-hand man. For me, that was all I needed to know. I knew some of his past actions weren’t always what I would have wished. I knew he has cast a few votes that, in hindsight, he probably regrets. I also knew he has said a few things that would normally give me pause. But none of that mattered. He was President Obama’s right-hand man. Period. End of story. All of that changed in Dec ..read more

Technology is a good thing when it works as it is supposed to. But when it doesn’t, it can be a huge mess. The problem in Iowa is a case in point. After months of planning and preparations, the Iowa Democratic Party delivered a whopper last night. More to the point, they failed miserably. The question is this: Couldn’t they have seen this coming? If they planned to use an App for reporting, was that App fully tested? Were those directly tasked with using the App fully trained? If not, then why not? Monday night the Democratic Party in Iowa said there were “inconsistencies” in reporting caucus ..read more

In 1977, Former U.S president Richard Nixon famously said during a television interview that “when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” Fast forward to 2020, the attorneys for president Donald Trump appear to be resurrecting that line of thinking. Responding to a question from Texas senator Ted Cruz, Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz said there is nothing wrong with a president seeking foreign help for his reelection. His reasoning? Well, the president is above the law, sort of. He said if the president thinks his reelection is in the best interest of the country, then he can ..read more
