President Obama’s Supreme Court Nominee is…

The Constitution of the United States command the president of the United States to appoint nominees for the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Obama is fulfilling his Constitutional duties.

President Obama will announce federal appeal court Judge Merrick Garland on Wednesday as his nominee for the Supreme Court, according to reports.

Garland, 63, was selected by the President to fill the seat left vacant by Justice Antonin Scalia’s sudden death last month, both The Associated Press and The New York Times reported.

Garland is the chief judge of the Washington, D.C., court of appeals. He was among those considered for the seat taken by Justice Elena Kagan in 2010.

Obama’s choice will pit the President in a bitter battle with Senate Republicans, whose leaders vowed to turn their back on his candidate — no matter who was chosen.

Obama has simply responded that he was fulfilling his Constitutional duties as President, rather than letting a seat on the nine-member court go vacant for 11 months.

Bernie Sanders Speech Ignored by Major Networks

Marco Rubio ran for president, never won anything to speak of and was a consistent third in the Republican primaries. But his speeches and his boisterous claims of eventually becoming the next president of the United States was a must see for all the major networks. And last night when Marco decided to pull the plug on a campaign that never took off the ground, the major networks carried the loser’s event LIVE!

But Bernie Sanders is not that lucky. And although Sanders continues to get larger crowds and more enthusiasm than his competition, and although he has actually won multiple states, the big money “news” outlets still refuse to give Bernie the type of respect they gave loser Marco.

As Bernie Sanders took the stage on Tuesday night, the cable networks continued doing what they do best — talking. 

Fox News, CNN and MSNBC all declined to carry Sanders’ speech, instead offering punditry about the evening, with the chyrons promising, “AWAITING TRUMP” and “STANDING BY FOR TRUMP.”

So first all the Bernie supporters still trying to figure out why your candidate is constantly getting dissed by the establishment, here is the speech the lame stream media refused to show you.

Bill O’Reilly – Trump Won in Florida Because “Voters Want a Punishment” – Video

Bill O’Reilly of Fox News said something very eye-opening. After seeing Donald Trump crush-fest on Marco Rubio in Rubio’s home state of Florida, O’Reilly said something rather telling – “voters want a punishment,” so that’s why they’re voting for Trump.

“It was no surprise that Trump won in Florida,” O’Reilly told Fox News anchor Bret Baier moments after the network called the state for the Republican billionaire. “The reason I think that Trump won in Florida is because he comes across as more authoritarian — not authoritative — authoritarian.”

According to O’Reilly, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was never able to overcome the perception that an outsider was needed “to punish the Republican establishment.”

“But more importantly to take it to Hillary Clinton,” he continued. “I think the turning point in this race for Trump was when he attacked both Hillary and Bill Clinton a few months ago when they started the sexist stuff, and he just laid them out. I think a lot of people saw that and said, ‘You know what? This guy can punish as well as win.’”

“And in this angry age,” O’Reilly added, “voters want a punishment along with a victory.”

Marco Rubio Suspends His Campaign – Video

Every time he lost a primary, Marco Rubio talked big, big enough to almost convince his listeners that coming in 3rd or 4th or even last is better than coming in first. But his home state of Florida smacked him in the face on Tuesday by voting for Donald Trump to be president. In his concession speech, Marco Rubio was forced to face the truth, and told the crowd that his campaign was no more.

“While it is not God’s plan that I be President in 2016 or maybe ever and while today while today my campaign is suspended, the fact that I’ve even come this far is event of how special America truly is and all the reason more while we must do all that we can to ensure that this nation remains a special place. I ask the people do not give in to the fear, do not give in to the frustration.”

Ben Carson – America Can Afford a Horrible Four Years Under a President Trump

According to reporting by The Hill, Ben Carson explained why he decided to throw his support behind Donald Trump. 

According to Carson, a former Republican presidential candidate, he is willing to put the future of the country into the hands of an inexperienced, political novice, because America can apparently afford a horrible four years under Trump.

Ben Carson on late Monday argued that the worst possible outcome of Donald Trump lacking the right skills for a quality presidency is a single, four-year term under the billionaire.

“The way I look at it, even if Donald Trump turns out not to be such a great president – which I don’t think is the case, I think he’s going to surround himself with really good people – but even if he didn’t, we’re only looking at four years,” the former GOP presidential candidate said on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show.” “[That’s] opposed to multiple generations and perhaps the loss of the American dream forever.”

Party before country, it’s the Republican way!

Anonymous Declares “Total War” on Donald Trump

According to a video released by the hacking group, “this is not a warning, this is a declaration of total war. Operation trump engaged.”

The hacking group Anonymous is urging its followers to launch a barrage of cyberattacks on April 1 to take downDonald Trump’s websites and expose the “appalling” GOP presidential candidate.

“We need you to shut down his websites, research and expose what he doesn’t want the public to know,” a person wearing the group’s trademark Guy Fawkes mask says in a video posted by to an Anonymous YouTube channel. “We need you to dismantle his campaign and sabotage his brand.”

In a separate written statement, Anonymous encouraged hackers to target the business mogul’s websites, including donaldjtrump.com, trump.com and trumphotelcollection.com.

Anonymous also released Trump’s alleged personal details, such as his cell phone number and Social Security number, to help hackers harass the Republican presidential frontrunner.

“Dear Donald Trump, we have been watching you for a long time and what we see is deeply disturbing,” the video says. “You have shocked the entire planet with your appalling actions and ideals.”

“You say what your current audience wants to hear, but in reality you don’t stand for anything except your personal greed and power,” it adds.

Chris Christie Dissed State Trooper and his Funeral to Kiss Up to Donald Trump

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has totally lost all the morals he never had, choosing instead to suck-up to Donald Trump at a campaign rally on Monday instead of attending the funeral of a New Jersey state trooper.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie skipped a state trooper’s funeral Monday to fuel his out-of-control lovefest with Donald Trump with whom he campaigned with in Florida on the eve of that state’s presidential primary.

As mourners honored Sean Cullen, 31, who was killed in the line of duty last week when he was struck by a passing motorist while responding to a highway car fire, Christie was in the Sunshine State, cozying up to Trump

Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno took Christie’s place at the funeral, while Christie’s camp referred all questions about his scheduling decision to the Trump campaign.

After Christie’s bizarre Trump endorsement, he told reporters that he would not be a “full-time surrogate” for the Republican front-runner.

Police Considers Filing Riot-Inciting Charges Against Donald Trump

Monday brought a brand new look at Donald Trump from a group he would rather not cross paths with – the police.

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s office is considering filing charges of inciting a riot against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump for the Fayetteville, North Carolina rally according to an NBC reporter and local media sources. The rally was the site where Trump supporter John Franklin McGraw was arrested for sucker-punching a black protester and threatening to kill him.

“We are looking at the totality of these circumstances, including any additional charges against Mr. McGraw, including the potential of whether there was conduct on the part of Mr. Trump or the Trump campaign which rose to the level of inciting a riot,” Sheriff’s Office lawyer Ronnie Mitchell told The Fayetteville Observer.

UPDATE

After the story of the possible charges broke, Donald Trump’s campaign responded, saying Donald Trump has done nothing wrong. Shortly after, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s office decided to drop their investigation.

Militia Promises to “Forcefully” Protect Trump’s Rally Members

When you’re applying for the job of president of all the American people and the militia comes to your rescue promising to “forcefully” protect some people over the safety and wellbeing of others, it would seem that your next move should be to disavow the militia and reassure all Americans that you will be their president.

If you are Donald Trump running for president under the Republican banner however, you will welcome the militia’s actions. In fact, you will even encourage it.

Hours after a protester rushed the stage at Trump’s Dayton rally, a Twitter group called “The Lion’s Guard” called on supporters of the GOP front-runner to join a make-shift militia, according to RT.

“Do you want to provide security protection to innocent people who are subject to harassment and assault by Far-left agitators?” Lion’s Guard asked in a call to action. “If so, you are welcome to join. That’s the mission — to protect innocents who can’t hire their own security guards.”

Lion’s Guard said that their members would be unarmed, “but willing to forcefully protect people if need be.”

“We are *defensive*, *protective* of innocents who are being beaten and harassed for their political views.”

Within hours, the account reportedly had over 500 followers, and members were already asking for “uniform suggestions.”

Denying the Climate of Fear

It was certainly bound to happen. After all, one of Donald Trump’s earliest backers hosted the same crowd when she was running for national office. This is what happens when a politician plays into the anger with more anger and blame and bluster and racism and Islamophobia and, above all, ignorance.

Look, Bernie Sanders has some angry Democrats at his rallies, but Sanders is a responsible, thinking adult who knows that the way you channel anger is to turn it into positive energy and constructive policies.

But the Republican Party has denied climate change for so long that they didn’t see the political climate shifting underneath their Gucci loafers. And now that both the planet and the right-wing are heating up to the point that there’s no turning back, we have our first political super storm. And it’s ugly. Trump has fed the storm for years with his claim that President Obama was not a citizen and that Ted Cruz should be barred from the GOP race. He’s also claimed his own reality when it comes to his finances, his bankruptcies and, in the aftermath of his canceled Chicago rally, the claim that if he hadn’t brought up immigration, it wouldn’t have been an issue in this campaign. Of course it would have: the difference is that maybe we could have had an adult conversation about it, not a white-hot ethnic slur-fest that’s resulting in more Hispanics applying for citizenship so they can vote against Trump (shudder) in November.

The motley crew’s endorsement of Trump – from the Klan to the Illinois Nazi Party to Chris Christie to Ben Carson – makes it quite clear that his message is dangerous and that he needs to be careful about stoking emotional outbursts. Trump needs to rebuke all of this in a national statement, but I’m not holding my breath.

In the meantime, the deniers will ensure that the atmosphere just gets hotter.
