Almost a decade ago, obama s reelection campaign that said it loud. They want you beholden to government, from cradle to grave. As bill bennett wrote, julia s life is defined by her interaction with the state. Government is everywhere and each step of her life is tied to a government program. Notably absent is any relationship with a husband, family, church or community except a community garden where she works post retirement. Instead, the state has taken their place and is her primary lelationship. The left is using the pandemic to make permanent the lives that they want you to leave. We ve seen churches close. Neighbors reporting on each other for unity. We re all in this together so long as we stay in our homes and don t socialize. Teacher s unions are the most powerful in american life to the point of wrecking the lice of the students if the teachers don t want to work. Local small businesses have to close but walmart can stay open. Don t fred, fauci knows best. If you conflict wi
Providing us a realtime lesson on where power lies in america today. Today we can find hope in the lowest levels since march of last year. The result we can all be thankful for. It is a result that drew cohen policies have locked down in mandates but thanks to sweeping regulations. How out of touch are your wouldbe confidantes? they are trying to run with a pandemic. Gretchen whitmer once the darling of swamp publications like political before prohibited people from buying seeds. An attempt to lift graduation limits and allow public records request because of covid. Gavin newsom cling to power like a broken desolate to refuse to lift in the state of california even as the rest is that of the country returning to normal, contrast that with governor ron desantis who in florida, we choose freedom over fauciism and the real life of the pandemic far higher than what would have been but necessarily erased a year of education and destroyed small businesses and wrecked huge portions of the eco

surprised he was kamala harris s exit. i felt like she had one of the clearer pathways to the nomination and i was surprised about her early exit. the other thing that may not be the surprising is remarkable stability of joe biden and bernie sanders throughout this process. biden has remained consistent in national polling. different in iowa and new hampshire. bernie has been relatively consistent. then you have to look at mayor viablemerging as a very candidate coming out of basically nowhere. the mayor of south bend and now he is leading the polls in iowa and new hampshire. he has a real good chance to win both of those states. those are some things that surprised me the most. host: who do you think has the easiest path right now? if you look at the nomination i think it is biden. i think biden has demonstrated the ability to have the broadest older african-american voters, african-american working-class white voters, blue-collar white voters. i think if you look at his s
