It is a national emergency, after all. It’s interesting to see how the President is continuing to assert his authority while continuing to deny resources and restricting the capabilities of bad actors:

Today President Trump warned congress he may invoke Article II, sec 3, due to the COVID-19 crisis and his need for administration positions that have been delayed by democrats in the Senate for more than two years.

The coronavirus pandemic would seem to qualify as an “unusual circumstance” where recess appointments would be needed, valid and justified. However, senate democrats would likely fight any attempt in court.  The Senate has refused to adjourn session since President Trump was inaugurated, and multiple cabinet officials have been blocked from confirmation.

The disingenuousness of the President’s opponents has seldom been more clear than the protests that “this is not the right time” to defund the World Health Organization. But if a time when the organization has been exposed as being corrupt, inept, ineffective, and criminally negligent is not the right time to stop funding it, there will never be a right time.

That being said, if I had one piece of advice to give the President, it would be to stop threatening and posturing. Just do it! The time for negotiations is over. This is a full-blown war and the evil being fought is not reasonable and will not fight fair.

The New York Times hasn’t decided whether Creepy Joe Biden should be canceled or not. What’s the matter, can’t they get George Soros on the phone in New Zealand or wherever he is hiding out?

A former Senate aide who last year accused Joseph R. Biden Jr. of inappropriate touching has made an allegation of sexual assault against the former vice president, the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee this fall.

The former aide, Tara Reade, who briefly worked as a staff assistant in Mr. Biden’s Senate office, told The New York Times that in 1993, Mr. Biden pinned her to a wall in a Senate building, reached under her clothing and penetrated her with his fingers. A friend said that Ms. Reade told her the details of the allegation at the time. Another friend and a brother of Ms. Reade’s said she told them over the years about a traumatic sexual incident involving Mr. Biden.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Biden said the allegation was false. In interviews, several people who worked in the Senate office with Ms. Reade said they did not recall any talk of such an incident or similar behavior by Mr. Biden toward her or any women. Two office interns who worked directly with Ms. Reade said they were unaware of the allegation or any treatment that troubled her.

Last year, Ms. Reade and seven other women came forward to accuse Mr. Biden of kissing, hugging or touching them in ways that made them feel uncomfortable. Ms. Reade told The Times then that Mr. Biden had publicly stroked her neck, wrapped his fingers in her hair and touched her in ways that made her uncomfortable.

Soon after Ms. Reade made the new allegation, in a podcast interview released on March 25, The Times began reporting on her account and seeking corroboration through interviews, documents and other sources. The Times interviewed Ms. Reade on multiple days over hours, as well as those she told about Mr. Biden’s behavior and other friends. The Times has also interviewed lawyers who spoke to Ms. Reade about her allegation; nearly two dozen people who worked with Mr. Biden during the early 1990s, including many who worked with Ms. Reade; and the other seven women who criticized Mr. Biden last year, to discuss their experiences with him.

No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Reade’s allegation. The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.

Translation: Because it is still possible that Creepy Joe might be the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, the New York Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct beyond the sexual misconduct that it couldn’t hope to plausibly deny.

It certainly took the old socialist long enough to concede:

Bernie Sanders ended his presidential campaign, he announced on Wednesday, leaving former Vice President Joe Biden as the apparent Democratic presidential nominee.

“I have concluded that this battle for the Democratic nomination will not be successful, and so today I am announcing the suspension of my campaign,” Sanders told supporters in a livestream, saying he wished he could provide supporters with “better news” but “I think you know the truth.”

“We are now some 300 delegates behind Vice President Biden and the path to victory is virtually impossible,” he said. Sanders called Biden “a very decent man who I will work with to move our progressive ideas forward.”

So Creepy Joe will be the sacrificial lamb ritually offered up to the God-Emperor. The Trumpslide will be epic.

Viktor Orban has learned not to let a crisis go to waste:

The nationalist government in Hungary passed a law Monday granting sweeping emergency powers that Prime Minister Viktor Orban says are necessary to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Those powers include sidelining parliament and giving Orban the power to rule by decree indefinitely. The law would punish those who spread false information about the pandemic with up to five years in prison.

“Changing our lives is now unavoidable,” Orban told lawmakers last week. “Everyone has to leave their comfort zone. This law gives the government the power and means to defend Hungary.”

During Monday’s vote, he said: “When this emergency ends, we will give back all powers, without exception.”

But critics insist that Orban is using the pandemic to grab power.

I should certainly hope so. By the time the pandemic is over, George Soros’s agglomeration of Satanic Society organs should be no more. Now the God-Emperor should do likewise, declare martial law, and take the opportunity given to drain the damn Swamp dry.

It is beginning to look rather like the DNC establishment set up Joe Biden to drive off all the other candidates, then take a fall prior to the convention so they could hand-select their preferred anti-Trump candidate. Creepy Joe is already getting MeToo’d. And no, it’s not going to be Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama, since either of those two non-starters would be as easily destroyed by President Trump as either of those two non-starters.

If you’re paying attention, it’s pretty clear who they have in mind.

Some Democrats are openly talking up New York governor Andrew Cuomo, whose profile has soared during the crisis, as a Biden stand-in. 

Creepy Joe appears to have ruled out people of color as well as white men from his list of potential running mates:

Joe Biden picked what will probably be his last debate with Bernie Sanders to make a big announcement … if he gets the nomination, he’s picking a woman to run with him. Biden left no wiggle room. He said there are women in this country who, right now, are capable of being President of the United States, and he intends to pick one of them.

Biden also said the first chance he gets to nominate a U.S. Supreme Court Justice … he’ll pick a black woman, saying it’s about time.

It’s interesting to see how the ancient Democratic leadership doesn’t understand the current mindset of their own party members. They are still living in the 80’s and under the impression that picking a female vice-presidential candidate is bold, edgy, and progressive. They don’t realize that anyone other than a black woman is racist and offensive, and preferably, said black woman would also be transgender, lesbian, and handicapped in some way.

Michigan will not boost Bernie this time:

Joe Biden won Michigan’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, seizing a key battleground state that helped propel Bernie Sanders’ insurgent candidacy four years ago. The former vice president’s victory in Michigan, as well as Missouri and Mississippi, dealt a serious blow to Sanders, who is urgently seeking to jump-start his flagging campaign.

Sanders could still get a boost later in the night in Idaho, North Dakota or Washington state. But fewer delegates were at stake than in Mississippi, Missouri and Michigan, where Biden’s decisive performance again showed his strength with working-class voters and African Americans, who are vital to winning the Democratic nomination.

Looks like Trump vs Biden. Smells like Trumpslide 2020.

Super Tuesday took out Elizabeth Warren too.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts plans to drop out of the presidential race on Thursday and will inform her staff of her plans later this morning, according to a person close to her, ending a run defined by an avalanche of policy plans that aimed to pull the Democratic Party to the left and appealed to enough voters to make her briefly a front-runner last fall, but that proved unable to translate excitement from elite progressives into backing from the party’s more working-class and diverse base.

Creepy Joe vs Socialist Jew. It’s not a contest, since the black vote is much more important in the Democratic primary than it is in the general election. That means Creepy Joe wins the right to be ritually offered up to the god-emperor.

Enjoy the Trumpslide.

As I mentioned prior to the Super Tuesday voting, Mini-Mike didn’t get into the presidential race in search of public humiliation. He almost certainly thought he was going to have his “elevator moment” and trump the god-emperor because he has even more money. Needless to say, he was wildly incorrect, which is why he is jumping out as quickly as he jumped in.

Billionaire Mike Bloomberg ended his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday and endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden. It was a stunning collapse for the former New York City mayor, who had his 2020 hopes on the Super Tuesday states and pumped more than $500 million of his own fortune into the campaign.

Bloomberg announced his departure from the race after a disappointing finish on Super Tuesday in the slate of states that account for almost one-third of the total delegates available in the Democratic nominating contest. He won only the territory of American Samoa and picked up several dozen delegates elsewhere. Biden, meanwhile, won big in Southern states where Bloomberg had poured tens of millions of dollars and even cautiously hoped for a victory.

Even tens of billions are less powerful than the socio-sexual hierarchy. You literally can’t buy Alpha, no matter how hard the Gamma tries.

Note that the media and the professional analysts, to say nothing of all the armchair experts in the comments, almost all said that Bloomberg was in it until the convention. And they were completely wrong. That is the result of failing to grasp the difference between capability and character. Bloomberg is an oversensitive billionaire who underrated the difficulty of public performance. He has probably wanted to get out of the race about twenty minutes into the Las Vegas debate, and his pathetic performance yesterday only underlined his desire to get out of the spotlight.

UPDATE: “I’m sorry we didn’t win but it’s still the best day of my life and tomorrow’s going to be even better.”

Total Gamma statement. The joke’s on them! The Secret King won again!

Creepy Joe was the big winner of Super Tuesday 2020:

Biden won nine of the 15 primary contests at stake tonight, pulling off a number of upset victories, including a win in Minnesota (we’d projected Sanders would win there), a win in Massachusetts (Sanders again), and a win in Texas (that was more of a toss-up going into tonight), but basically Biden cleaned up across the board. He performed well in states where he wasn’t even really competing, and he proved he’s more than a regional candidate.

Sanders, on the other hand, did not have a great evening. He won just three states outright (Colorado, Utah and Vermont) and underperformed expectations. So far, he does seem on track to win delegate-rich California, though we won’t know the exact margin for a while yet.

The complete delegate totals and how they compared to the pre-primary projections:

• 513/484 Biden
• 461/463 Sanders
• 53/222 Bloomberg
• 53/162 Warren
