Van Jones: The Obama Coalition Is Falling Apart

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 6/24/2024 6:57:45 AM

He might have shot his mouth off during the Obama administration, which cost him his job, but Van Jones does have his moments of clarity. He’s another unabashed liberal who can give reasonable analyses on the political landscape much better than any clown at MSNBC. Again, I know that’s not challenging, but Jones has said the Russian collusion story was a nothing burger. What isn’t a ‘nothing burger’ is the Obama coalition collapsing before our eyes, much like Joe Biden’s mental health. At the Milken Institute’s Global Conference, Jones gave a damning assessment of the health of this coalition that was, by all intents and purposes, unbeatable at the time.

I know it's not the main point of the article but simply dismissing the Russian collusion as a "nothing burger" is something I can't let pass. Hillary made up a story of treason that the media and both ends of the swamp ran with to steal the 2016 election, undermined his presidency and our standing on the global stage, launched a three year investigation, had a lingering effect on 2020 and likely will in 2024 and that's a effing "nothing burger?"

Dictatorship only works in countries that have a long established history of cowing before a cruel and greedy figure who is heavy with the whip and willing to torture and kill to get what he wants. America has a history of freedom and there is a red line that defines how much a free people will take. That line has been crossed with Obamacare, COVID, constant challenges to the first and second amendments and now through illegal immigration sponsored by the Biden Clown Show. The pushback is going to hurt and the democrats days are numbered.

“Even Democrats agree that Biden didn’t win the 2020 election; Trump just lost it—a tacit acknowledgment that COVID is what got Biden over the top. It wasn’t precisely his skills as a politician.” No, Matt, vote fraud got Biden over the top.

1 Peter 5:8 Be alert, be on watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. There are a lot of people who fell for the empty promises of the Obama-Biden administration as well as the Biden-Harris administration and there still are. The interview yesterday morning with CNN Host Kasie Hunt and Donald Trump's spokesperson emphasizes how Democrats have been able to get away with their double standards. In 2018, I saw what took place in the Wisconsin election and I knew something was wrong. The 2020 election was no different. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have become so egotistical and maniacal that people are noticing. What they have done to Donald Trump is no surprise as they were doing it to Sarah Palin. We must stay alert!

Nothing that the Kenyan Lightbringer did since 2008 has been functional, long-lasting or good for the country. His dirty stamp is all over Biden's alleged actions and those policies have a failure record of one hundred percent. Somewhere in a top secret record stash is Barry's real history of lies, fake credentials and destruction.

#3, I'm thinking that the context of "nothing burger" here is that the Russian collusion was fabricated from a couple of evil minds who were willing to ruin a good person's reputation in order to retain power. Although it caused Donald Trump and the country a lot of damage, it was created from nothing by very small-minded people.

The Democrat party has been hijacked by ignorant woke morons led by ‘the squad’. The Democrats could have stopped this and didn’t. They aligned themselves with the America haters, Jew haters, Black grievance movement, rioters, and climate change loons. The bill is coming due. Jones knows this but he doesn’t dare speak the whole truth.

Van Jones is aware that President Trump did more to support the black people in our country than any democrat has ever done. Biden and Harris are both users of minority people and have always abused their support. And this is all he has to say. What a hero Van Jones is, right?

A tiny baby girl died after being left in the back of a hot car just two months after her adoptive parents took her home as a newborn. Diana Sofia De Los Santos was found unresponsive in the SUV outside her parents' home in Santee, San Diego, about 12.20am on June 13. She had been left in the car for several hours in 63F weather when a family member found her and called 911. The baby girl was rushed to hospital but did not survive. San Diego County Sheriff's Office detectives are investigating how Diana was forgotten in the car and who left her there. No charges have been filed. Studies show temperature

I’ve said before that Joe Biden has never been much of a friend to Israel, even in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas attack on October 7. His initial public support hurt him politically with the antisemitic wing of his party, and he has gradually shifted his position ever since. The Biden administration has taken increasingly tougher stances on Israel, including sending aid to the terrorist organization Hamas and withholding weapons from Israel, our ally. A new war between Israel and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed terrorist organization, now looms, and the signal Israel is getting from the United States is: you're on your own. On Monday, the chairman of the Joint

On Sunday's "This Week," Martha Raddatz had a panel discussion with three "experts" on the upcoming presidential debate. The panel included Frank Luntz, and what he offered up made little sense. Luntz claims that the last two presidential campaigns, beginning with Trump versus Clinton in 2016 and then Trump versus Biden in 2020, were the beginning of the end of democracy. It seems everything in politics is “the end of democracy.” Luntz claimed that personal invectives and insults are too debasing and, apparently, a sign of the end of democracy. Luntz is a pollster, not a historian. Maybe he’s unaware of the long history of politicians insulting each other.

MOSCOW — More than 15 police officers and several civilians, including an Orthodox priest, were killed by armed militants in Russia’s southern republic of Dagestan on Sunday, its governor Sergei Melikov said in a video statement early Monday. The gunmen opened fire on two Orthodox churches, a synagogue and a police post in two cities, according to the authorities. Russia’s National Anti-Terrorist Committee described the attacks in the predominantly Muslim region with a history of armed insurgency as terrorist acts. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were declared days of mourning in the region. Dagestan’s Interior Ministry said a group of armed men shot at a synagogue and a church in the city of Derbent,

No wonder why the Biden team departed so early to Camp David for debate preparation. The White House summoned all the top Democratic strategists and advisers to ready the president as best they could against former President Donald Trump. Before they could review any of their attack lines or soundbites touting this administration's little legislative record, they need to ensure Biden can stand for at least 90 minutes. That’s not a good thing for a president we’ve been told is vivacious, a night owl, and sharp as a tack: (X) Some in the media have already tried to make the point that these debates are unfair to Biden.

It’s been a couple of weeks since Israeli forces launched a successful raid in Gaza that rescued four hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7 attacks last year. Normal people celebrated this operation, whereas the anti-Israel, antisemitic clowns were mourning the loss of the terrorists killed in the raid. That’s how you know the Left is messed up in the head on this matter: they were more upset over the dead captors and the rescue of those they held captive. The media coverage does play a part in that since newsrooms are staffed with woke left-wingers who hate Jewish people. That hateful pipeline can be traced back

Before we get into this abysmal segment, let’s not forget that this network is doing its job: keeping liberal blood pressures low by feeding the sheep grade-A liberal propaganda. It’s not a shock that MSNBC host Joy Reid and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) would label the rape of a minor by an illegal alien as “fearmongering.” I’m not sure it is, given that it’s true.

President Joe Biden is being shuffled to Camp Debate to prepare for the most consequential debate of his political career: the June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump. Biden is mustering all his top advisers to prepare him for this epic showdown, where the president’s mental health and stamina will be tested. For weeks, we’ve seen a mentally declining president on display. CBS News reported that “we should expect some surprises” from this debate preparation excursion. And what will that be—Biden not falling or him saying something remotely coherent? The 2024 playbook is a mess, and it's Democrats who are making that known behind the scenes.

The statement came after the Trump campaign ripped CNN for abruptly ending its interview with Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Tapper is co-hosting Thursday’s first presidential debate with Dana Bash.

HOUSTON, Texas — Little Jocelyn Nungaray fought back against her attackers after she was lured under a Houston bridge and assaulted for two hours — leaving scratch and bite marks on one of the illegal migrants who is accused of killing her, prosecutors revealed Tuesday. Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, still had the marks Jocelyn left on him when he was arrested, Assistant District Attorney Megan Long said in a Harris County court. Rangel Martinez’s alleged accomplice, Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, told cops he tried to convince Rangel Martinez to stop but he allegedly refused and climbed on top of the girl and strangled her, according to Long.
