I would be shocked to learn a republican is profiting off a national crisis but under the leadership of this morally bankrupt president, it may just be the no

Senator Richard Burr, a republican who chairs the Senate Intel Committee, sold up to $1.5 million of stocks just prior to the market crash and after he received information concerning the severity of the coronavirus crisis. It gets worse…he was caught in a recording warning his closest donors and friends about the severity of the virus just two weeks after he sold his stocks. And it gets worse. From CNN:

A week before his stock sell-off, Burr authored an op-ed with GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee titled, “Coronavirus prevention steps the U.S. government is taking to protect you.” Burr has also worked on legislation aiding US preparations for pandemics for years.

So, while he was warning his friends and dumping his stocks Senator Burr was telling America their government was on top of situation. From his op-ed:

The public health preparedness and response framework that Congress has put in place and that the Trump Administration is actively implementing today is helping to protect Americans. Over the years, this framework has been designed to be flexible and innovative so that we are not only ready to face the coronavirus today but new public health threats in the future.

In short he said “Everything is under control. President Trump is taking care of you. Now watch me dump $1.5 Million in stocks.”

Even Tucker Carlson from Fox News has called for Burr to resign. When the morally bankrupt Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, says it is wrong, it must be fucking criminal.

Rotten bastards. Both of them.

Yesterday’s primary results should signal an end to Bernie sander’s revolution against the Democratic Party.

Sanders under performed in every primary and caucus so far. The most shocking is Washington where he won with 72% of the vote in 2016 and lost with 33% in 2020. To be fair Washington was a caucus state in 2016. Even in his own state he lost 34 points from 2016. Last night he continued under performing in Florida, Illinois, and Arizona losing all three.

It’s clear Sander’s revolution is over. It time for Sanders to call it a day, endorse Biden, and help take out the trash in the White House.

This continues to look bad for Bernie.

This cannot be good for Sander’s invasion of the Democratic Party.

Comparing the results of the 2016 Democratic Primary for President and the results of 2020 has to bother the hell out of Sander’s and is putting his invasion of the Democratic Party on hold. In every state that has voted so far Sanders has lost ground ranging from a whopping 45 point difference to a 3 point drop in Texas. This just isn’t pretty. He is losing ground. After 4 years his base is actually shrinking.

Polling for the primary after Super Tuesday also shows Sanders with poor showings based upon 2016 results. In Michigan Sanders is polling 25 points less than what he got in 2016. Illinois is a -27 and in Washington he is down 40 points from 2016.

These are the results so far. The polling for upcoming states does not look any better. In fact it is down right disturbing. Bernie’s revolution is hitting a huge snag.

This is strange. 

At the start of the race Justice of the Peace, Precinct 5, Place 1 in the Harris County Democratic primary there were 3 candidates who entered the race per the Secretary of State website, Israel Garcia, Roel Garcia, and Eman Afshar. Shortly afterward Afshar was listed as “Rejected”, as in the Harris County Democratic Party rejected his application and refunded his fee.

Yet he remained on the ballot receiving 21% of the vote and forcing a runoff. According to a letter from the party Afshar’s application had been questioned, specifically the names on his petition submitted to the party. In the end his application was rejected and he was provided an opportunity to file a timely appeal. From the letter:

Well that was fun?

The Good.
Democrats came out to vote in record numbers to take their party back from the socialists candidates running as Democrats. As I have said in the past, we need to stop non-Democrats from running in our Party.

MJ Hegar and State Senator Royce West will be in a runoff. MJ recieved 22% of the vote with Senator West with 13.8%. Cristina Ramirez received 13.7% of the vote and missed the runoff.

Sri Preston Kulkarni will represent the Democratic Party in CD22 after beating Pearland Councilman Derrick Reed, and hammering Nyanza Moore. Sri is a great candidate and his campaign will be one to watch. Reed should consider running for another office. He is an impressive candidate. Moore should go back to Fox News.

New comer, Christian Menefee, squeaked out a win to move onto the general election by 50.17% for Harris County District Attorney. DA Ogg, Sheriff Gonzalez, and Ann Bennett, easily won.

The Bad.
Three of our outstanding Judges, Weiman, Kirkland, and Moore, were defeated. It boggles my mind why anyone would have challenged these individuals and why anyone would vote to replace them. They are great judges. They earned their positions on the bench. They were doing a great job and representing Harris County very well. Why would anyone challenge someone like that?

And The ugly
In the race for Harris County Constable, the cousin of Constable Chris Diaz Jerry Garcia, did his job by taking 10% of the vote. Jerry Garcia, who has absolutely no experience in law enforcement, quit the race right after sealing his name on the ballot. The other Jerry Garcia, a life long law enforcement official still beat Diaz by 39-34. This is so dishonest. Diaz should do the honorable thing and concede the race. In the runoff there will only be one Jerry Garcia on the ballot. I wonder if Diaz cousin will endorse him?

Is there more to report? Probably. Maybe later.

This can’t be good for the Socialists running in the Democratic Party.

Last week Sanders came in second place in South Carolina with 19% of the vote. That was 7% less than he did in 2016. Here in Texas Sanders received 3% less than he did in 2016. He isn’t expanding his base.

Locally the socialist running for Harris County DA, Audia Jones, got hammered with only 22% of the vote. Jessica Cisneros, another socialist running against Rep Henry Cuellar, lost in CD28. Cuellar needs to be replaced, but for gosh sakes, next time find someone from the Democratic Party to challenge him. Sema Hernandez, running for US Senate, came in 7th place with 8%, which was expected.

A bright spot for the socialists was Jose Garza in Travis County a county that Sanders won. He is now in a runoff with District Attorney Moore after receiving 44% of the vote to 41% for Moore. Travis County has a choice to make. Do you want a socialist for DA? Or a Democrat. You can’t have both.

Garza and Jones were funded in part by the single donor Real Justice PAC. This individual, Cari Tuna from San Fransisco, is funding candidates in District Attorney races. As other socialist candidates across the country they tend to have a chance in super blue areas. Travis County is pretty blue.

Now will the Democratic voters in Travis County give up their District Attorney’s office to a socialist?

Sri Preston leads the field of candidates in the Democratic Primary by 10-1 with a total of $1.2 million followed by Council Member Reed with $156,000 and Moore with $149,864. Their lastest haul is $97,160, 14,398, and $7,336.
