After last week's presidential primary debate, Joe Biden was widely seen as the loser after a bruising back and forth with Sen. Kamala Harris (CA) over his recent comments on working with segregationist senators and his past opinions on forced busing. He's already lost a top fundraiser but remains at the top of the pack in polling even though his numbers have slipped slightly since Thursday.

If you happened to miss the first round of Democrat debates (and who could blame you?), you may not have heard what 2020 Democrat contender Marianne Williamson had to say. She wants to defeat Trump, she intoned, with love. She also said that her first move if elected will be to call the Prime Minister of New Zealand to tell her America is going to be the best place to raise children. I kid you not.

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently said (with a straight face) that "California was still the envy of the world" in response to the numerous California critics who brought up the homeless problem, feces and syringes in the streets, and rodents infecting people in city halls. While Newsom drags his feet, some cities have chosen to tackle those problems, mainly helping the homeless.
