Anyway, as you can tell, I am not a big fan on the Congresswoman.

Tlaib had the gall to say, and in fairness to everyone at the facility, they seemed stunned that she had the nerve to say such a vile thing, that only black people should be hired for a new facial recognition software and technology program because everyone else thinks that all black people look alike…</div>

Just watch the man on the left, who is wearing glasses, who appears to be a black man, his reaction is great.  He handled it perfectly, explaining that what Tlaib said is not right and that people should be hired regardless of race, gender or viewpoint.  As usual, kudos to the cops, shame on the Congresswoman.</div>

Lady, you’re not making the compelling case you think you are making.  Your statement, in and of itself, was, in my view, racist AF.  Way more racist than mixing up someones name and calling them by the name of another accomplished individual.</div>

She knew she was being taped and she still thought it was a good idea to say it.  Her judgement is suspect at best.  Let’s hope her district has the good sense to send someone with better judgement to represent them next election. I would love to see a Muslim who embraces traditional American values in Congress.  I think there is nothing that could help religious relations more than such a candidate winning election.

Trump, reports said, urged Zelenskiy, a comedian who had just won election, to speak with Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani.

LAS VEGAS — Sen. Bernie Sanders has jumped out to a double-digit national lead in the Democratic presidential contest after his victory in New Hampshire's primary and his second-place finish for delegates in Iowa's disorganized caucuses, while former Vice President Joe Biden has seen his support drop by 11 points since his disappointing finishes in both contests, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Tuesday.</div>
<div class="endmarkEnabled" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: PublicoText, Georgia, TimesNewRoman, "Times New Roman", Times, Baskerville, serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 1.5rem;">
The survey also shows former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg gaining ground in the Democratic race in the past month, confirming the findings of an earlier NPR/PBS/Marist poll that allowed him to qualify for Wednesday night's NBC News and MSNBC Democratic debate in Las Vegas.</div>
<div id="taboolaReadMoreBelow" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: PublicoText, Georgia, TimesNewRoman, "Times New Roman", Times, Baskerville, serif; font-size: 18px;">

And the poll has President Donald Trump's approval rating tied for his all-time high in the NBC News/WSJ survey, while also finding that the most unpopular candidate qualities in a general election are being a socialist, being older than 75 years of age and having a heart attack in the past year.</div>

"There is one clear and inescapable set of results: Bernie Sanders is the definitive front-runner, and the current numbers do not represent his ceiling, but instead his base with room to grow," said Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies.</div>

"His downsides are there," Hart added of Sanders. "But they've yet to be exploited by his opponents."</div>

The Reason They Support Trump Isn't About Trump

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Spend time with people who supported Presidential Candidate Donald Trump in 2016 and quickly discover that the reasons why they voted for Trump had little to do with him.<br />
<br />
It is probably one of the most misunderstood threads between this new conservative populist coalition. To get the real reasons for your support for Trump, you have to be where they are, have no preconceived ideas about who they are and have no prejudices for what you think their motives are.<br />
<br />
Tom Schaub, Ralph Petersheim, Donna Leum, Kris Amundson and Ben Klinkner are seated around a large conference table at Westby's Creamery Cooperative in the city of Vernon County. There is a coffee maker and a large box of donuts. The aroma that only fresh baked donuts can provide radiation in any room.<br />
<br />
All four are milk producers. Schaub is president of the cooperative. Petersheim was recognized for his land and water conservation efforts by the county, which earned him the outstanding prize of conservation farmer for his impeccable land efforts. The Leum family owns a dairy of 53 cows and their two adult children are found in different aspects of the dairy industry. The Amundson family produces £ 17,200 of milk per cow per year for the cooperative. Klinkner is a sixth generation farmer in his family's organic dairy.<br />
<br />
All are members of the board of directors of a cooperative that was formed over 117 years ago by families of local dairies looking for a way to develop a sustainable market for their milk and dairy products in their dairy.<br />
<br />
Individually, they are superhuman. Not only do the dawn hours work until nightfall to offer you cheese, yogurt, milk, sour cream and any other dairy treatment that fills the refrigerators (cows are milked twice a day every day of the year); they are devoted soil and water environmentalists and are tireless volunteers who dedicate countless hours to the 4-H club, local schools, their churches and the cooperative council.<br />
<br />
Everyone said that their vote for Trump was not for him but for their communities.<br />
<br />
It was an abstract and complicated decision that rarely makes sense for people who don't walk in their shoes, live in their zip code or understand how long the establishments on both sides have disappointed them, their parents, their grandparents and their children. below.<br />
<br />
"People who don't know peasants or who live near or in an agricultural community don't have a clue why we feel so connected to our place," said Leum. "But they seem to have strong opinions about who we are, and when they find out we support Trump, they look at us like that silly peasant who knows nothing better."<br />
<br />
"Well, those stupid farmers are electricians. They are plumbers. They are mechanics, scientists, environmentalists. They take care of the crops that fill their closets, (they) love and take care of the animals that supply dairy products and meat for the their parties. They are also vets. and engineers, "he says with pride and a broad smile. "I mean, we have all these skills because you can't keep calling repair people, so you do it yourself. So, really, I think we're pretty smart."<br />
<br />
Altogether, there are 68,700 farms in Wisconsin covering 14.4 million acres of land. They provide nearly $ 90 billion for the state economy each year and employ over 400,000 people across the state.<br />
<br />
There are nearly 8,500 dairy farms in Wisconsin. Hundreds of them closed in 2019, continuing a ten-year trend that members of the Cooperative Council have said is largely based on a complex system of fixed prices and costs spanning a wide range of production.<br />
<br />
"At a cooperative level, we are priced ahead of what the milk should be for the month, so we base all our prices on the products we are manufacturing and selling," explained Schaub. "And then, when the final price comes, it can be a $ 2 difference."<br />
<br />
"Well, that $ 2 difference ... There's no way to fix it, so you have a loss for that month. So, you spend too many months in a row, and that's when things get tough." He said, adding that the end result could be bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
The five farmers like President Trump's policies. Your behaviour? Not so much. But they knew that Trump would reach better trade deals, which he did with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada deal.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vernon County is one of 23 counties that voted for the then President Barack Obama in 2012 and was changed to Trump in 2016.<br />
<br />
While many national media have parachuted with the counties of Vernon in the last presidential race to ask Trump's voters when the trade agreement was extended, when the report of Special Attorney Robert Mueller was published and when Trump was accused (and acquitted), few journalists ask voters how they got here in the first place. Additionally, few members of Republican and Democratic institutes who make fun of farmers behind closed doors (or openly on social media) have reflected significantly on why farmers chose Trump over their establishment candidates.<br />
<br />
Despite the complaints of the talkative class claiming that there have been too many stories about Trump's voters, farmers like these have a story to tell about lives centered around faith, family and agriculture. Few who really know them could argue that they are not creating a profound benefit for the whole country.<br />

A startling rash of threats and violent incidents targeting Republican voters in recent weeks is raising concerns about the increasingly toxic political climate, just as the 2020 presidential primaries are getting started.</div>
<div class="speakable" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The incidents began earlier this month when a Florida man, Gregory Timm, 27, allegedly rammed his van into a Republican Party voter registration tent. According to reports, Timm ran over chairs and tables, and witnesses said he recorded the scene moments after the incident, made an obscene gesture and sped off.</div>

Timm has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a person 65 years old or older, one count of criminal mischief and driving with a suspended license. An arrest report said Timm told deputies he did not like President Trump and “someone had to take a stand.”</div>

Days later, in Windham, N.H., amid the state’s first-in-the-nation primary last Tuesday, a man allegedly assaulted a 15-year-old Trump supporter and two adults who had been volunteering at a polling site, Fox News first reported.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The New Hampshire man, Patrick Bradley, 34, was charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct after allegedly getting in the face of the teenage boy, Nate Campbell, who was wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, and slapping him across the face. He also is said to have assaulted two other adults who attempted to intervene.</div>

Police arrested Bradley days after the incident. He was also accused of throwing Trump campaign signs and attempting to knock over the Trump campaign tent set up at the Windham High School polling site.</div>

Campbell's mother, Cathy Campbell, in an exclusive interview with Fox News last week, said "it's scary that you can't express which political party you are. People need to know how much intolerance there is right now."</div>

"I was apprehensive about him wearing the MAGA hat, because we know it can provoke and we know people don’t like Trump,” she explained. “But he wore the hat because he’s a proud 15-year-old and he doesn’t know what people are going to be like.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She added: "It sickens me that people would be angry at a kid for wearing a stupid hat."</div>

The president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., spoke out last week after the incident in New Hampshire, accusing the mainstream media of not calling out the violence against Trump supporters and Republicans.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“So a leftist attacks 3 Trump supporters, including a 15-year-old child, in NH this week,” Trump Jr. tweeted Thursday. “Last week a deranged leftist attempted to run over a group of Trump supporters with a car in FL. What will it take for the MSM to finally call out leftwing violence?”</div>

Also, over the weekend, protesters at the University of California at Santa Cruz smashed a College Republicans information table.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to reports, and a video posted on social media, two protesters tore up placards and ripped down signage—with one of them appearing to spit on a 13-star “Betsy Ross” American flag that is seen on the ground.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I think this guy’s trying to assault me,” one protester is heard saying in the video, laughing, as someone tries to grab an American flag away from him. The man attempting to take back the flag later in the video falls to the ground during the struggle.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Get a life!” those fighting off the protesters say at one point.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The video starts when the incident is already underway, so it’s not clear exactly how it began. But Dylan Temple, president of the College Republicans chapter at UC Santa Cruz, told The Post Millennial it began when one of the protesters grabbed one of the group’s flags.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Temple said he immediately reported the matter to campus police. Subsequent posts on social media gave a name for one of the protesters, but it was unclear if that person was charged with any crimes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Meanwhile, police at Arizona State University said that they were investigating a video that showed an individual shouting violent threats at a group of pro-Trump students on campus. The video, posted by Students for Trump at Arizona State University on Feb. 5, shows an individual at ASU's Tempe campus repeatedly shouting at a group of conservative students, saying: "Slash Republicans' throats."</div>

Also, last week, retired New York City police officer Daniel Sprague said he got punched in the face at a Tennessee bar, all because he was wearing a birthday hat and a shirt with Trump-like slogans. The man was wearing a hat that said “Make Fifty Great Again” and a shirt that said “Making America Great since 1970.”</div>

"At one point," Sprague said, "a female came up from behind me, spun me around, and punched me in the face and then grabbed my hat off my head and was just yelling, 'How dare you?'"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He told the station he believes the woman was wearing a ring or had a set of keys in her hands when she lunged at him because the wound was "pretty deep and it goes to the bone."</div>

"People have different views, but we're not supposed to take it out on each other," Sprague said.</div>

Meanwhile, last month a Florida man was sentenced to 90 days in jail and one year of supervised probation after slapping the bill of a man’s “Make America Great Again” hat before telling the man to “go back to Russia you f--- communist” and spitting on him, investigators said.</div>
