Welcome to Monday, February 24th, suns and shadows...

Weekend for Bernie's.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) handily won the Nevada caucus, solidifying his status as the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination.

After less-than-stellar showings in Iowa and New Hampshire, former Vice President Joe Biden clinched a second-place win. Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., finished third. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts came in fourth.

\"In Nevada, we have just put together a multigenerational, multiracial coalition, which is going to not only win in Nevada, it's going to sweep this country,\" Sanders enthused at a rally in San Antonio, Texas, shortly after news outlets proclaimed his victory.

Sanders was referring to exit polling, which showed Sanders winning young people (56% support among those 44 and under), very liberal voters (49%) and a majority of Hispanic voters. He also did well among black voters and moderates, two groups Biden counts at his base.

How do you feel about Bernie Sanders?

Under the Radar

Time to Change the Primary Calendar?

Iowa is over (kind of), as is New Hampshire and Nevada. Next up: South Carolina, which will hold its Democratic primary on Saturday, February 29th

South Carolina and Nevada have very different makeups than Iowa and New Hampshire, as this infographic from our friends at USAFacts shows:

While Iowa and New Hampshire have populations that are between 85-90% white, Nevada and South Carolina are much more diverse as white people make up 48.4% & 63.5% of those states’ populations, respectively.

South Carolina has the largest black population (26.5%) of the first four states.

You can see similar demographic breakdowns and trends for other states, and compare them to the U.S. as a whole, at USAFacts.

Do you think the primary calendar should be reordered so that more diverse states vote sooner?

For Decades- the world has been dominated by a process called Globalization- the securitization of the worlds political and economic systems- that hollows out and erodes a counties traditions, customs, and religions- all the while conditioning populations to rely on the expertise of a tiny class of technocrats for every aspect of their social and Economic lives. Globalization/The Left/DNC aim to Fool/Scare and Threaten Americans by means of 24/7 MSM/Media Matters/Groups such as Soros Open Society Foundation/ANTIFA/BLM and Indoctrination-Grade Threats on College Campuses and School Districts to force this new cultural concept on all Americans. The Left represents Total Control/Fascism of American lives and culture. This is abundantly clear with DNC actions on Bills/Laws at the state level and Congress. 1A and 2A are under attack- should this fall- the remainder is a cake walk for a Fascist/Globalist DNC Government. DNC supporters speak of returning to Honor and Honestly- and have no concept they have been Fooled by false heavenly narratives of Globalization- which will ultimately ENSLAVE them- and all Americans. When they willing give up their Individual rights for the FALSE notions of the Greater good and Fairness for All- and then realize they have become powerless. The greater good is Always Individual Powers/rights, Individual Choice and Individual culture. The Current Democratic’s want to take this away from you- and you’ll never get it back. Go to bed at night knowing the DNC wants Total Control of your Life, Speech, Thinking and Checking Account. They will stop at nothing to take that from you.
