IN THE November 2006 election, the voters demanded congressional ethics reform. And so, the newly appointed chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is now duly in charge of regulating the ethical behavior of her colleagues. But for many years, Feinstein has been beset by her own ethical conflict of interest, say congressional ethics experts.

National Poll: Elizabeth Warren Takes Commanding Lead over Joe Biden
2:30
Top tier candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is leading the Democrat field, according to a Civiqs/DataProgress poll taken after the third Democrat debate in Houston, Texas.
The survey interviewed 1,219 likely Democrat primary voters following the Houston debate on September 13-16, 2019, and asked, “If you consider yourself a Democrat, who is your first choice for the Democratic nominee for president in 2020?”
The post-debate poll found Warren leading the pack, six points ahead of Joe Biden (D) with 30 percent support, gaining two percent following her Houston debate performance. Biden, who has been leading the crowded field in the vast majority of national Democrat primary polls, fell to second place with 24 percent support, followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) with 14 percent support, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) with seven percent support, and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) with six percent support. Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang (D), and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) garnered two percent each. The remaining candidates saw one percent support or less. The margin of error is +/- 3.1 percent, meaning Warren’s lead over Biden is outside of statistical error:
#National @Civiqs/@DataProgress Post Debate Poll (9/13-16):
Warren 30%
Biden 24%
Sanders 14%
Buttigieg 7%
Harris 6%
O'Rourke 2%
Yang 2%
Gabbard 2%
Booker 1%
Klobuchar 1%
Castro 1%
Steyer 1%
Bullock 1%
Williamson 0%
de Blasio 0%
Delaney 0%
Bennet 0%
Ryan 0% filesforprogress.org/datasets/sep_1 …

Respondents were also asked to identify their second choice candidate. The majority, 27 percent, chose Warren, followed by Harris and Buttigieg, who tied for second place with 11 percent support, and Sanders, who saw 10 percent. Only 9 percent chose Biden as their second choice.
Additionally, the survey asked, “If you could wave a magic wand, and make any of the current Democratic candidates magically president, who would you choose?”
Nearly one-third of Democrats, 30 percent, chose Warren. Biden was in a distant second place; 16 percent chose him. Sanders trailed Biden, as 15 percent wish to wave a magic wand to make him President of the United States.
The national poll follows an NBC/WSJ poll released this week, showing Biden and Warren separating themselves from the rest of the field by double digits.

The Electability
Myth of Joe Biden
Is Dianne Feinstein out to kill off Kamala Harris's presidential
bid?
Kamala Harris has always
been known for her lean and hungry, pushy, grabby, ambition, which
includes a willingness to sleep her way to the top to
get what she wants. Her political start began as a social mountaineer
with San Francisco's old-money Pacific Heights set dating from her 20s and then just moved
onward and upward.
That's not sitting well
with California's lizardy old-money senior Senator, Dianne Feinstein, who
knows that establishment well.
BLOG: BIDEN AND FEINSTEIN GO WAY BACK WITH THEIR RED CHINA FOR RAW CASH DEALS SIPHONED THROUGH HER HUSBAND AND HIS SON.
According to reports,
Feinstein, the senior senator from the Golden State, will throw a
fundraiser next month for Democratic 2020 presidential frontrunner Joe Biden -- and not for
Harris, another White House contender whose poll numbers suggest she could
probably use some high-profile help.
BLOG: WHAT FEINSTEIN MEANS IS THAT OL' BIDEN IS AS CORRUPT AS
SHE IS ANY DAY!
“My candidate would be
Joe Biden,” Feinstein told CNBC back then. “I watched him as vice president.
I’ve seen him operate. I’ve seen him perform and I think he brings a level of
experience and seniority, which I think is really important.”
The early evening
reception will be the first that Feinstein hosts for Biden in the 2020
election, CNBC reported. Her husband has already participated in several
fundraising events for Biden, who campaigned for Feinstein in 2018, when she
was re-elected by a landslide.
Oh, spare us. Feinstein
knows as well as anyone that old Joe is addled and gaffe-tastic. This is more
likely about putting Kamala back in her place.
Fox News speculated that
this fundraiser among the fatcat donors might just have been payback for
Harris's nasty first-debate attack all but accusing Biden of being a Bull
Conner racist. Remember Harris's phony earnestness in: "That little
girl was me"?
Sure, it's possible.
But it's also been known for close to a year that Feinstein considers
Harris a wretched parvenu who hasn't paid her dues.
Remember this?
“I’m a big fan of Sen.
Harris, and I work with her. But she’s brand-new here, so it takes a little bit
of time to get to know somebody,” Feinstein said of the junior senator,
according to the Los Angeles Times.
Her press secretary told
CNN that Feinstein later added that she certainly likes her California
colleague, saying, “Oh, I love Kamala.”
Translation in a plummy
accent: Do we know her?
Hard to get a better
old-money passive-aggressive remark than that one. People are either known or
unknown in Feinstein's rich circles and it's pretty obvious to Feinstein
that Kamala doesn't cut it.
What's more, Feinstein is
a 'get off my lawn, whippersnappers' non-ideological sort of small-c
conservative, or, as Fox News put it, she pulls rank. Remember this?
Democratic Sen. Dianne
Feinstein pulled rank Friday when a group of kids tried to school her on
climate change.
After the group sought
her support for the Green New Deal, the 85-year-old senior
senator from California let them know she wasn't about to be bossed around by a
bunch of youngsters.

“You come in here, and
you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that,” Feinstein
continued. “I’ve gotten elected, I just ran. I was elected by almost a
million-vote plurality. And I know what I’m doing. So you know, maybe people
should listen a little bit.
So just the fundraiser in
Harris's home state of California was a shiv in the side to Kamala.
Why is that?
Well, for one thing, the
Democratic political set widely believes that to win the presidency, one must
win California. Harris is from California, so that stacks things in her
favor.
Now Feinstein is
marshalling money from California Biden's way? So that they give their money to
him and feel 'donor fatigue' when Kamala comes calling?
The matter is compounded
by the fact that the California Democratic campaign fatcats weren't impressed
with Harris's performance in the third debate, as this CNBC report here indicates. Feinstein
knows those people and may very well be egging them toward Biden, or at least
piling on.
Here's another thing:
Money from fatcats over
little-people donations is Kamala's vulnerable spot. The queen of fake Twitter followers is also
highly reliant on big dollar donors over the little
guys, even as the New York Times tries to claim she's changing
that. Well, maybe she is, but if she is, it would be in the infant stage and in
any case, they're taking her word for it. More likely, she still relies on the
big boys, because that's what she knows.
Which would mean that
Feinstein's bid to separate Harris from that cash lifeline is like that of
General Grant at Vicksburg, targeting Confederate supply lines. The California
dinosaur strategizes.
The Feinstein fundraiser,
which will channel and suction big money toward Biden, can't help but come
at a cost to Harris. And Feinstein, right in the middle of the Pacific Heights
crowd, is lobbing her cannon ball where the funds are richest and Kamala's ties
are tightest.
It almost looks like a
concerted chess move to checkmate the upstart. And given the evidence of
Feinstein's antipathy toward Harris, one can't help but think it's all
intentional.
The Electability
Myth of Joe Biden
The leftstream media
characterization of Joe Biden is that he is moderate, likable, and the
most electable Democrat candidate. He is affable Uncle Joe, the
self-made lunchbox-toting common man of the people.
In truth, he is none of
the above.
Joe the Moderate
The "Biden as
moderate" canard is getting increasingly hard to defend. On the
economy-, car-, and cow-killing $93-trillion Green New Deal, Biden was asked if
it goes too far or is unrealistically promising too
much.
He answered, "No, no
it's not."
When previously asked if there
would be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in his
administration, Biden answered, "No...we would make sure it's eliminated,
and no more subsidies for either one of those, period."
Green New
Deal? Two thumbs up. Fossil fuels? Fracking
and coal? Kill them. How he would eliminate them is one
of history's great mysteries.
Not content to destroy
the economy, Biden has embraced the full gamut of abortion radicalism, to
include flipping to oppose the Hyde Amendment, which forbids
taxpayer funds to pay for most abortions. This is the amendment that
pro-abortion Democrats traditionally use to hide their radicalism, but Biden
threw off even that fig leaf.
He said, "I can't
justify leaving millions of women without the health care they
need. If I believe health care is a right, as I do, I can no longer
support [the amendment]."
The death-cult
pro-abortion groups love Biden because they know he is fully committed to their
hellish agenda.
On border security, Biden's position is
indistinguishable from those of the other radicals in the party. His
hand went up when asked if he is in favor of decriminalizing border security
and providing taxpayer-funded health care to non-citizens.
When asked about
immigration detention centers, he answered, "Close them
down! By the way, we don't need them!" Apparently,
arguing that nations don't need borders exemplifies moderation.
Biden is a panderer with
no core convictions. Today's Democrat primary voters are radical, so
Biden is a radical. His positions are all but indistinguishable from
those of socialists Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The entire
Democrat primary has been an extremism arms race, and Biden regularly ups the
ante.
Affable Uncle Joe
The media regularly
compliment Biden for his sterling personality. He's that crazy but
lovable uncle we should all want to meet for a beer to swap stories about
toiling for a workman's wage in the coal mines. But, like most of
Biden's biography, his entire persona is a lie.
Biden has always been a
plagiarist and prevaricator. Most of his lies have served his
own biography. These are among the creepiest of lies. He
is relentless in his biography-building. He was the original valor
thief, seeking to steal the best parts of other people's biographies to add to
his own.
The media gloss over
these bold lies as gaffes. But these lies speak to a serious
character defect. Biden is egocentric, delusional, and
small-minded. This lying addiction is not something new that can be
explained away as a symptom of a failing mind. It has been the
central strand of Biden's political DNA since before dinosaurs wandered the
earth.
So, okay, Biden may be a
liar, but at least he's a nice guy. Um...not so much.
Would a first-rate personality say candidate
Barack Obama was the first "mainstream African-American," an
"articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," implying
that other black Americans are lacking in all these qualities and that Obama
was somehow a new invention? This is one of the most outrageously
racist comments I've seen in recent years.
Biden apologized to
Obama, the one black American he wasn't really insulting. He should
have apologized to everyone else. Pro-civility Biden is not very
civil at all.
There is also Biden's
penchant for making women and girls uncomfortable, a habit that would be
treated entirely different if he were a Republican. Imagine if Vice
President Mike Pence liked to bend over and sniff girls' hair, or grab a
woman's arm and hold her essentially captive until he is done talking to her.
Somehow, I don't think
the leftstream media would tell us it was just Mike being Mike, an endearing
old-fashioned character trait. Instead, they would have painted him
as the worst kind of pedophile and misogynist.
So if Biden is not
moderate and not likable, what is he basing his electability argument on?
Electable Biden, the
Political Unicorn
Biden has pulled off his
greatest trick yet in convincing a sizable chunk of the Democratic Party,
particularly the power brokers, that he is the most electable
Democrat. He argues that he is an establishment moderate Democrat
who has broad electoral appeal. That's about as true as his recent
war story.
He's also argued that his
exemplary personality will exert a gravitational pull on voters in places like
Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. But what will matter more to
these voters: that Biden claims to have once been a coal miner or that he has
promised to destroy coal miners?
Those voters who crossed
over to vote for President Trump against a fake, condescending liberal
politician who excites nobody are not going to cross back over to vote for...a
fake, condescending liberal politician who excites nobody. Many
Republicans are pulling for Biden, not because they like him, but because they
consider him the weakest candidate.
Liberals will line up to
vote for anyone not named Trump. The real battle is for independents
and former Democrats who crossed over in 2016. Because of this, the
most electable Democrat candidate is Tulsi Gabbard. Biden is not
going to win disaffected voters back, nor will he drive turnout among the
identity politics–obsessed Democrat base.
Gabbard, while liberal,
has interesting things to say and embraces positions that could attract
independents. She doesn't emanate raw hatred and contempt toward the
military, police, and America. She acknowledges that we need borders and, while still
an abortion radical, at least
admits that some abortions should be restricted, which puts her way outside the
Democrat mainstream.
This is not an
endorsement. Gabbard is liberal and would be a poor
choice. But, unlike the rest of the Democrat candidates, she is
prone to occasional bouts of sanity. After both of the first two
Democrat debates, she was among the most Googled candidates. She
is this year's Bernie Sanders, the candidate the Democrat establishment
buried. The Democrats did the Republicans a huge favor, because
Gabbard would have been a tough out.
Instead, the Democrats
are on course to elect an avowed socialist or a close facsimile in
Biden. To loosely paraphrase advice given by Napoleon,
never interfere with the Democrat establishment when it's in the process of
destroying itself by nominating a boring, radical, unlikable liar like Lunchbox
Joe.
