The Democrat APP that didn’t work, has ties to Hillary: www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2020-02-04/clinton-campaign-vets-behind-2020-iowa-caucus-app-snafuResults from Monday’s caucuses could not be transmitted to Iowa party headquarters, and state Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price blamed the problem on a coding error. “While our plan is to release results as soon as possible today, our ultimate goal is to ensure that the integrity and accuracy of the process continues to be upheld,” he said in a statement Tuesday morning. Confusion among caucus organizers over how to use the app also seemed to contribute to the problem. The firm behind the app reportedly is Shadow, an affiliate of ACRONYM, a Democratic nonprofit founded in 2017 “to educate, inspire, register, and mobilize voters,” according to its website. Shadow started out as Groundbase, a tech developer co-founded by Gerard Niemira and Krista Davis, who worked for the tech team on Clinton’s campaign for the 2016 Democratic nomination.[/u] |

www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/02/04/acting-dhs-sec-chad-wolf-agency-offered-to-test-democrats-iowa-caucus-app-they-declined/amp/Chad Wolf: DHS Offered to Test Dems' Iowa Caucus App – ‘They Declined’ Tuesday during an appearance on Fox News Channel, acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf revealed the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency offered to test app used to tally votes for the Iowa Caucus. According to reports, the app did not live up to expectations as the Iowa Democratic Party has been unable to provide the results of Iowa Caucus on time. Wolf told FNC’s “Fox & Friends” the offer was declined and said his agency was unaware of “malicious cyberactivity” involving the Iowa caucuses’ processes.

www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/02/04/carville-im-scared-to-death-2020-dems-blowing-it-by-talking-about-voting-from-jail-open-borders/Former lead strategist for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign James Carville said on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat With Ari Melber,” that he is “scared to death” the Democratic Party is leaning too far left, as evidenced by 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) having a strong showing in the Iowa caucuses. Carville said, “There are other things that worry me. Apparently, the turnout in Iowa is not what I would have expected—other people would have expected. The numbers are still coming in. But people are telling me it’s more like 2016. The polling averages have not been very good the last ten days. And I’ve seen some pretty good polls that show enthusiasm among Democrats is not as high as we would like it. So there’s something as people are watching this process that is concerning. I do want to take a chance to congratulate Mayor Pete and his staff. That was a remarkable night they had in Des Moines. I think this is not going particularly well so far. Why is Tom Perez still the chairman of the Democratic National Committee I have no idea. This party needs to wake up and make sure that we talk about things are relevant to people. We need to go back to 2018 where we had good, diverse, strong candidates that had real connections and talked about real things. We don’t need to become the British Labor Party. That’s a bad thing. It’s not going well over there. So Democrats, I want to say, don’t these candidates, and Mayor Pete has something going. Hopefully, Senator Warren can become that student at the University of Houston, the one that knows the plights people go through. Who knows, maybe Mayor Mike can come on. But right now, I have to tell you. I’m not very impressed.” “Without power, there’s only one moral imperative in this country right now and that is to beat Donald Trump,” he continued. “That’s the only moral imperative. It is the only thing I want to hear. Until we understand that, we win every argument on anything. We don’t win the elections because we talk about stuff that is not relevant. We had a great experience in 2018 and the day after we started that goofy stuff. Hopefully, we’ve got time to jerk this thing back and be about health care and drug prices and education and infrastructure and climate and diplomacy. This is not happening so far. We can’t act like this is going well. We can’t come out and put three wonderful talking points. These campaigns have to be more relevant. For God’s sake, Senator Warren, get real out here. You know, let’s move this thing along. We’ve got to do that.” “We have all kinds of things very concerning there. And I’m just looking at the mega polling averages. I’m looking at public opinion right now. And frankly, we’ve got to snap back and get this thing going. I don’t want to think about what would happen if we had four more years of Trump,” he added. Carville then shared his worry and others in the Democrat Party’s concern about the current state of the party. He said, “Why am I here doing this? Because I am scared to death. Let’s get relevant here for sure. … We have to decide what we want. Do we want to be an ideological cult? Or to have the instinct to have the majority party?” Carville then cautioned, “We’d better get serious here. A lot of Democrats around the country are concerned. I know these donors, they won’t give a popsicle to the DNC right now. I can tell you that.” “I have to sound the alarm here,” he concluded. “I’m sorry.”

Senator Ted Cruz: I’ll tell you the moment that I actually thought was the saddest and most revealing early in the speech, at least. When the president talked about 7 million people coming off of food stamps there were congressional democrats who hissed, who audibly hissed! Now think about what that reveals that they are routing for Americans in poverty to be trapped in dependence. That’s seven million people that have gotten jobs, that are providing for their kids.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/02/05/van-jones-warns-democrats-trump-is-helping-african-americans-in-real-life/amp/CNN contributor Van Jones warned fellow panelists, and Democrats in general, on Tuesday evening that President Donald Trump was helping African-Americans “in real life” and reaching out to them for their vote in 2020. Jones was reacting to the president’s State of the Union address, in which the president mentioned several efforts to help African-Americans specifically: What he was saying to African-Americans can be effective. You may not like it, but he mentioned HBCUs [historically black colleges and universities] — our black colleges have been struggling for a long time, a bunch of them have gone under — he threw a lifeline to them, in real life, in his budget. He talked about that. He talked about the criminal justice reform. He talked about opportunity zones. He talked about school choice. The party failed to report results after Monday’s crucial, first-in-the-nation contest, and has still not fully reported results as of Wednesday morning. Jones added that the State of the Union address came against the backdrop of Democrats’ mishap in the Iowa caucuses the day before. Jones tweeted video of his comments to the CNN panel, adding: “WAKE UP, folks. The #IowaCaucus was a debacle, followed by a strong #SOTU speech laying out Trump’s strategy to win – which includes going for Black voters. This was a warning shot from the Trump campaign to liberals, and we need to take this VERY seriously in order to win.” Jones has clashed with Trump before, though he has supported the administration’s efforts at passing criminal justice reform through the First Step Act. President Trump honored African-American heroes several times during his speech, notably Tuskegee Airman Charles McGee and Army Veteran Tony Rankins. He also awarded an Opportunity Scholarship to fourth grader Janiyah Davis. While Jones theorized that Trump was attempting to divide African-Americans and Latinos by focusing on border enforcement and stopping illegal immigration, there is no evidence that the president is doing so.

Jody Jones had this to say, “It felt like she ripped our hearts out. Everybody there, all the guests, we couldn’t believe it. Look, I don’t care how you feel about somebody. That was probably the most disrespectful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Because when she did that it tore us up.”

www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/pelosi-shredded-after-tearing-sotu-speech-offers-lame-excusePelosi Shredded After Tearing Up SOTU Speech; Offers Lame Excuse House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was widely rebuked on both sides of the aisle after tearing up her copy of President Trump's State of the Union Address Tuesday night. On Wednesday, the White House Twitter account slammed Pelosi for dishonoring distinguished guests, writing "That's her legacy." Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence told Fox & Friends "I wasn’t sure if she was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution," adding "The contrast here was a president who spent an hour-and-a-half making the speech about America and Nancy Pelosi in the final moments tried to make it about her." Several C-Span callers who identified as Democrats said that Pelosi's stunt was beyond the pale. And conservative attorney and impeachment witness Jonathan Turlley wrote in a Wednesday Op-Ed in The Hill, "the conduct of Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the State of the Union address this week will go down as a day of infamy for the chamber as an institution." While it has long been a tradition for House speakers to remain stoic and neutral in listening to the address, Pelosi seemed intent on mocking President Trump from behind his back with sophomoric facial grimaces and head shaking, culminating in her ripping up a copy of his address. Her drop the mic moment will have a lasting impact on the House. While many will celebrate her trolling of the president, she tore up something far more important than a speech. She shredded decades of tradition, decorum, and civility that we need now more than ever. The House speaker is more than a political partisan, particularly when carrying out functions such as the State of the Union address. A president appears in the House as a guest of both chambers of Congress. The House speaker represents not her party or herself but the entirety of the chamber. At that moment, she transcends her political ambitions and loyalties. -Jonathan Turley via The Hill Pelosi has responded to critics, telling House Democrats in a closed-door caucus meeting "He shredded the truth, so I shredded his speech," adding that Trump's address was "a manifesto of mistruths," according to The Hill. "You are supposed to talk about the state of the union," Pelosi continued. "not the state of your alleged mind." Sure Nancy.

During a closed-door caucus meeting, Pelosi expanded on why she tore up the president’s Tuesday speech at the conclusion of his remarks. “He shredded the truth so I shredded his speech,” she told lawmakers, declaring that President Trump’s address was “a manifesto of mistruths.” “You are supposed to talk about the State of the Union, not the State of your alleged mind,” she said to cheers and a standing ovation from her colleagues.
