After winning the Nevada caucus on Saturday, Democrat Socialist Bernie Sanders (VT) seems to be the clear cut frontrunner for the liberal party’s presidential nomination. Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren (MA) are seemingly on their last legs. From Fox News:

Sen. Bernie Sanders will win the Nevada caucuses, Fox News can project, furthering the democratic socialist’s lead over his Democratic rivals and raising the question as to whether he can be stopped on his path to the Democratic nomination.

Bernie had a message for the GOP and Democrat establishments on Saturday. People on Twitter quickly pointed out the irony.

LOOK:

I've got news for the Republican establishment. I've got news for the Democratic establishment. They can't stop us.

But they did last time. Just saying. 🙄🤔

Technically the Democratic establishment stopped you in 2016.

This is as egomaniacal as when Donald Trump said "I alone can fix it."

— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) February 22, 2020

Bernie 2016 supporter here.

Drop out.

For those who say be nice to Bernie: When exactly will Bernie start being nice to us? Yet again he’s attacking Democrats. Why should hold our fire when all he does is attack us, and when our silence is going to hand him the nomination & Trump the election?

Why are you running as a Democrat? Why aren’t you running as an Independent?

— JoJo (@JoJoleneLive) February 22, 2020

Good to know, now the Democratic Party can kick you to the curb. We don't like Impostors.

— Badd Company (@BaddCompani) February 22, 2020

Someone at the next debate needs to ask him about this statement. It really bothers me and a lot of others. What if the other candidates said this? I do not understand his reasoning unless he is playing the same card as 2016.

Criticism of Democrats, when you're not a Democrat, but want their resources to help you be President has always been the best way to unify the party behind you 🙄

— Marc isn't getting help from Russia (@thegoodfello) February 22, 2020

This kind of post is exactly why we'll have four more years of Trump and reminds us you're not interested in uniting people.

You're running as a Democrat. Stop attacking Democrats.

It’s kind of a strange day to tweet this considering we just found out that Putin and the Russian regime is trying to boost your campaign.

Wait- serious question. I’m so confused by this . I’m a life long Democrat from Massachusetts and a life long fan of yours. Am I the Democratic establishment ? My husband and I are activists. Are we the Democratic establishment ?

— Melinda McGraw (@Melinda_McGraw) February 22, 2020

I’m so sick of your bullshit, Bernie. The Dem establishment is not trying to hurt you, but you seem to have no problem hurting them. I will never vote for you. You’ve failed every single time you’ve had a chance to act selflessly. It’s all about you and your messiah complex.

— Sean Kent (@seankent) February 22, 2020

Because he needs the Democratic establishment money and connections.

What a great way to stomp on it.

— markira (@markira) February 22, 2020

It’s getting to the point where people should weigh a Sanders presidency versus just working our asses off to get a Democratic majority in the Senate to minimize Trump’s second term…somehow I’m sure I’m not alone.

— Alfonso Robinson (@ctblogger) February 22, 2020

You’ve been in Congress for 30 years. You are a millionaire with three houses. You fly private. You are the establishment, Bernie Sanders.

— Maya Contreras (@mayatcontreras) February 22, 2020

Putin is helping you. I guess that's why, as a United States Senator, you aren't pressuring Mitch McConnell — daily — to bring election protection legislation to the floor.

— Cheri Jacobus (@CheriJacobus) February 22, 2020

Are you now saying you are running against both the Democratic and Republican party? If so, why are you, a life long Independent running in the Democratic primary for a nomination to represent the Democratic party?

— Fred Guttenberg (@fred_guttenberg) February 22, 2020

I have news for Bernie: You're part of the establishment.

— Styxhexenhammer666 (@Styx666Official) February 22, 2020

Bernie, this is not ok. If you are running in the Dem primary then don’t attack the Dems. This kind of rhetoric is divisive. We need to stay united. Russia and Trump are already trying their best to do that, don’t join them.

— Chris B (@ChrisBEsq) February 22, 2020

That's right Bernie, push all those moderate and conservative Democrats to the GOP. The Corbynization of the Democratic party is almost complete.

The Biden campaign dropped just over $1 million in private jet travel during the final three months of 2019. The Warren campaign spent over $725,000, while the Buttigieg campaign spent nearly $325,000.

However, Bernie’s camp takes the cake.

From Free Beacon:

The Bernie Sanders campaign spent just under $1.2 million on private jet travel last quarter, outpacing the entire 2020 Democratic presidential primary field.

The most recent filing from Sanders reveals $1,199,579 in spending during the final three months of 2019 to Apollo Jets, LLC, a “luxury private jet charter service.” The campaign spent an additional $23,941 for transportation to Virginia-based Advanced Aviation Team.

Capitol Riot Investigation: Official Commanded Officer to Target Anti-Trump Individuals

The complex investigation into the Capitol riots continues to surprise us.

There is still a great deal that we don’t know about the events of January 6th, as an enormous investigation into the incident continues to uncover terrifying new angles in the case. The FBI has a complex and gargantuan task ahead of them, as they attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff. Thousands of hours of social media must be pored over still, and there are undoubtedly still arrests yet to be made. Then will come the trials, which could, in turn, ignite new probes and arrests still. One of the most worrisome parts of the probe has come at the expense of the Capitol Police, who were seen on camera clearly giving a wide berth to a deadly mob. Some officers were even seen opening barricades for the berserkers, while others took selfies with them. Now, an unbelievable bit of audio recorded during the attack is raising major concerns. A Capitol Police official radioed units outside of the building on the morning of Jan. 6 and told them only to scout for anti-Trump troublemakers — not pro-Trump protesters, according to Rep. Zoe Lofgren, who described what she said were details of an internal investigation conducted in the aftermath of the mob attack. Lofgren (D-Calif.) revealed the finding while she questioned Capitol Police Inspector General Michael Bolton, who appeared before the House Administration Committee Wednesday to testify about security failures that precipitated the Jan. 6 attack. Lofgren, who chairs the panel, described the findings as she asked him whether he had read the internal investigation reports. Lofgren said the department’s Office of Professional Responsibility was reviewing information that a radio transmission to “all outside units’ attention” that they should not be “looking for any pro-Trump in the crowd,” according to Lofgren. She added they were “only looking for any anti-Trump.” There…

Pandemic Recovery Gets Boost from Surprisingly Good Jobs Report

Let’s just hope the government doesn’t try to temper our grand reopening.

Americans may very well be on the precipice of a great reopening, and the latest figures from the federal government seem to suggest that the time is nigh. There’s nothing quite like a global pandemic to offset economic growth, particularly when that pandemic arrives in the form of a highly contagious disease that shuts down almost the entirety of the service industry, along with sports venues, concerts, and even city council meetings. This economic impact is certainly the most obvious, but for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction: As Americans stayed home, they saved money. That means that, when the economy does reopen, We The People will be raring to go. The effects of this pop could be enormous. The end of the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic was the catalyst for the “roaring twenties” – a period of unmatched American prosperity and decadence. Now, judging by the numbers we’re seeing this week, a new economic boom might be right around the corner. The number of Americans filing for first-time jobless aid last week fell to its lowest level since the COVID-19 pandemic erupted in 2020, a sign layoffs are easing as the economy recovers. Some 547,000 people applied for unemployment benefits in the week ended April 17, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s 39,000 fewer than the previous week and the lowest weekly number since March 14, 2020. About 133,000 others applied for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, a federal program for self-employed and gig workers. The latest jobless claims figure is far below the roughly 1 million weekly applications the nation saw in January. But it remains more than twice its pre-pandemic level of about 250,000, showing how much further the recovery has to go. The sky’s the limit at this point, as far as recovery goes; we just need…
