2020 The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

National Habor, MA February 29th, 2020 (Business Insider). The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the annual DC-area gathering, once epitomized Ronald Reagan's vision of "big-tent conservatism." That meant vigorous debates among right-of-center intellectuals representing the neoconservative foreign policy hawks, socially conservative evangelical Christians, non-interventionist free market libertarians, and any other reliable Republican voting bloc.

In 2020, philosophical diversity was almost non-existent at CPAC.

Save for a panel focused on tech companies' deplatforming of certain right-of-center voices — where audience members fumed at some of the panelists' suggestions that government intervention might actually be worse than "big tech censorship" — there was almost universal agreement on the big themes of the conference.

These major themes of CPAC 2020 included:

Donald Trump is the greatest president in modern history, and the way he's been treated by Democrats and the media is unprecedented and abhorrent. 

Socialism is evil, and the moderate 2020 Democratic candidates are barely less socialistic than Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vice President Mike Pence actually said "there are no moderate Democrats in this field" in his Thursday CPAC speech).

The "left" is comprised of snowflake crybabies, who are also authoritarian bullies systematically silencing conservatives and indoctrinating the younger generation through the media and culture.

In his Wednesday speech, he warned of "this culture war" which he said "is going to be the battle of our times." He added that this would be a "battle between those who believe America is good and those who believe in the notion of socialist revolution who believe we are inherently bad."

Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, an influential conservative youth activist group with strong ties to the White House, helped set the "small Republican" tent tenor of the proceedings. At the first mention of Mitt Romney's name, the audience booed, and Kirk responded, "Every time his name is mentioned you should react this way."

"Blexit" founder Candace Owens spent much of her Thursday speech attacking former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick as a "race hustler." In particular, she referenced a tweet Kaepernick sent last Thanksgiving about the U.S. government's appropriation of land from indigenous people, which she countered with a long diatribe about Aztec cannibalism and human sacrifice.

On Thursday, the main ballroom featured "FBI Lovebirds," a play starring "Lois and Clark" actor Dean Cain and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actress Kristy Swanson as ex-FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. The play consisted almost entirely of the Strzok and Page's texts to each other, but was meant to demonstrate a "Deep State " conspiracy against Trump from before the time he took office.

Naomi Seibt, a 19-year-old German Youtube activist who had been invited by the Heartland Institute to speak about "climate realism" was billed as "the anti-Greta Thunberg."

Most of the CPAC attendees Insider spoke with said they feel like they're under a constant state of unfair attacks from "the left," just like President Trump. 

Jeffrey Lord, a Trump supporter and former CNN contributor, told Insider, "I just think people are seriously enthusiastic about the president on top of which they're also angry at the way he's been treated."

At CPAC Central, the event's main gathering hall, vendors sold T-shirts and hats emblazoned with phrases like "Freethinkers Only," "Kiss Me I'm a Capitalist," and "This is Trump Country: Where on a Quiet Night You Can Hear a Snowflake Melting."

Elizabeth Najjar, an 18-year-old student at the Jerry Falwell-founded Liberty University, told Insider that administrators at her Virginia high school had called her parents to compel her to take down a pro-Second Amendment video she had posted to her private Facebook account. She also said she had been spat upon at her school because of her political views.

For all the complaints at CPAC about being "silenced" by "the left," there were some conservative voices who felt even more aggrieved.

At a private event Wednesday night titled "Emergency Save the First Amendment Summit" held at a hotel in Washington, DC, several "cancelled" conservatives spoke before a group of about 80 attendees. Most of the speakers had either been kicked off of major tech platforms, and some were explicitly banned from attending CPAC.

CES 2020: Las Vegas, NV.

Las Vegas, NV, USA January 10th, 2020 (New York Times). Like it or not, the future is connected. Your next car will probably connect to the internet. So will your TV and doorknobs. One day, you may even adopt a robot companion capable of analyzing its environment and reacting to your actions in real time. That future, or at least a glimmer of it, was on display at CES, the giant consumer electronics Las Vegas trade show that attracted more than 170,000 attendees this week.

 This year’s annual event — the first one took place in 1967 — featured more than 4,500 exhibitors, including tech companies big and small from all over the world, and sprawled across 2.9 million square feet at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Wynn casino, the Venetian and a handful of other venues around town. The conference was a window into where the industry is pouring huge amounts of resources and investment, hoping that the year’s hottest tech trends — like artificially intelligent virtual assistants, connected cars and foldable screens — will become everyday fixtures in our lives.

The enormous conference was also an opportunity for tech observers to make predictions about the innovations that might become popular and the gadgets that will probably flop in the coming years. Among the questionable tech trends were foldable screens, demonstrated by TCL, Lenovo and Dell, among others. Lenovo showed its ThinkPad X1 Fold, a Windows foldable tablet. Unfolded, it measured about 13 diagonal inches, and folded up, it looked compact like a book.

That may sound neat, but not everyone is optimistic about foldable screens. Frank Gillett, a technology analyst for Forrester Research, predicted that foldable devices would be unpopular, largely because of their high price tags and limited use cases. Case in point: Samsung’s Galaxy Fold, its first foldable smartphone, priced at nearly $2,000, was a failure after early reports of the device’s breaking after light use. Lenovo’s X1 Fold will cost about $2,500 when it arrives this year. “Foldables — the pun is too tempting — will be a flop,” Mr. Gillett said.


Amazon and Google were among the biggest players at CES, each boasting about how awesome its personal assistant is.Google said its virtual assistant is now used by more than 500 million people a month across more than 90 countries. Last year, Amazon’s Alexa-powered Echo speakers dominated the global smart speaker market with a share of about 25 percent, ahead of Baidu and Google, according to Canalys, a research firm. And the market for smart speakers keeps growing.

It is still unclear, however, whether consumers want to do much with virtual assistants as they continue to get smarter. Studies have shown that people mostly use Alexa and Google Assistant for basic tasks like playing music and checking the weather. Paying for gas (which Amazon wants you to do) sounds like a stretch. Still, Dave Limp, Amazon’s head of hardware devices, was bullish. He said that even if Alexa users only occasionally used the assistant’s more advanced capabilities, that was significan. “Customers interact with Alexa billions of times a week,” he said. “Even one of many things that they’re doing can add up to be a pretty big thing.”

Samsung showed a car equipped with its Exynos Auto V9 computing processor, which can run applications on multiple screens and pull information from up to 12 cameras. The system was designed to simultaneously provide entertainment like videos to passengers in the back seat and safety-assistance apps to drivers, the company said.

Amazon also showed off its automotive prowess, displaying cars from Lamborghini and the auto start-up Rivian that now include Alexa personal-assistant capabilities.

2019 Gold Cup (MEX VS USA).

Ciudad de México a 07 de Julio 2019 (FOX Sports). Un gol de Jonathan dos Santos a los 72 minutos le dio el domingo a México una victoria 1-0 sobre Estados Unidos y su octava Copa de Oro.

El tanto de dos Santos hizo justicia ya que México había borrado de la cancha a los dueños de casa después de pasar un par de sustos al comienzo del encuentro. De este modo, los mexicanos festejaron su primer halago de la era del técnico Gerardo Martino y les sacaron dos títulos de ventaja a los estadounidenses, que tienen seis y los hubieran alcanzado de haber ganado.

Estados Unidos tuvo un gran arranque en el que complicó a su rival a fuerza de pelotazos y velocidad. Christian Pulisic dio muestras del talento que lo hizo llegar al Chelsea y a poco de empezado el encuentro burló a su marca y quedó mano a mano con Guillermo Ochoa, pero al arquero ganó el duelo.

Poco después Jozy Altidore se le escapó a Héctor Moreno y pateó desviado cuando solo tenía a Ochoa enfrente. Con el correr de los minutos, no obstante, se diluyeron las figuras de Pulisic y Altidore y México fue creciendo de la mano de dos Santos, que manejó los hilos del equipo.

Rodolfo Pizarro fue una pesadilla para la zaga estadounidense, pero el equipo fallaba en la puntada final. Raúl Jiménez, el nuevo referente del ataque mexicano, tuvo una noche particularmente floja. Participó poco y desperdició un par de jugadas peligrosas. Pese a haber tomado el control del partido, México pasó otro susto cuando Andrés Guardado desvió de cabeza sobre la raya un cabezazo de Jordan Morris.

Ausente Jiménez, el más peligroso de México en el área rival fue el chiquitín dos Santos, quien pateó apenas desviado hacia el final del primer tiempo y no falló a los 72, cuando Pizarro mandó un balón al centro del área, Jiménez hizo un taco en su única aparición del partido y dos Santos anotó con un zurdazo alto.

2019 FIFA Wome’s World Cup.

Lyon, France July 07th, 2019 (FOX Sports) The USA has defeated the Netherlands 2-0 to claim its fourth World Cup.In the 59th minute of the clash in Lyon, the VAR called for a referral on a challenge from Stefanie van der Gragt on the USA’s Alex Morgan.

Referee Stephanie Frappart reviewed the vision and pointed to the spot. USA star Megan Rapinoe stepped up and slotted the penalty to give her side the lead.

Then, in the 69th minute, the USA doubled their lead through Rose Lavelle. The talented midfielder scythed her way through the Netherlands defence, with van der Gragt among those turned inside out, then unleashed a scintillating strike into the bottom corner.

From there, the USA dominated the clash to record its second-consecutive World Cup win.

If there was any sense of pre-game inevitability that the USA had the firepower to deliver a fourth World Cup, the Netherlands did everything in their power to dispel that. Five minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 45 minutes, half-time.

For everything the USA threw at the Netherlands, the underdogs in orange held out, keeping a clean sheet for an entire half something no other team has managed this tournament.In the process, they raised the hopes of those in orange that someone might be able to deliver a performance capable of dismantling the reigning champions.

This game couldn’t have posed a more exciting challenge. In one corner was a USA side that had thrilled, spilled and ultimately dominated. This was a team that had faced challenges from the likes of France, England and even Spain and come out the other side on top.

This was a team that had faced criticism for its celebrations, scrutiny on its top players including Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan – but had instead risen to the occasion, over and over. In the other corner was a Netherlands outfit that by its own admission had largely failed to deliver the type of exhilarating football it was renowned for – but instead had found grit in defence and a tenacity that had carried it through to its first decider.

And it was the latter that came to the fore in the opening half, as a wall of orange defended astutely, then looked to attack on the counter. It was a clever tactical approach, and the resilient Netherlands defence and midfield were willing to throw everything into the game to ensure it worked.

Meanwhile, Vivianne Miedema worked hard to hold up the ball, with Lineth Beerensteyn offering a chaos-creating presence up top.

Indeed, what arguably summed up the early running of the game was that goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal was just about the best player of the opening half. The Netherlands captain turned in one of the great goalkeeping performances – something reflective of a tournament that has been one for the custodians, not just the forwards.

For one attempt, she used her foot to flick the ball into her own post. For another, a diving save proved enough to deny a scintillating long-range strike from Alex Morgan. Even when the USA had found chinks in the orange armour, van Veenendaal proved a final, impenetrable layer. But as the clock ticked into the 60th minute, the breakthrough came.

Stefanie van der Gragt, worried by the looming presence of Alex Morgan, attempted to clear the ball with a high kick – but made contact with the star American in the process. When referee Stephanie Frappart made her way over to the VAR screen, there seemed little doubt the spot-kick would be awarded.

 And when the irrepressible Rapinoe – who had been relatively quiet throughout the game off the back of a hamstring injury – stepped up to take the kick, there was little van Veenendaal could do as she blasted it home. All of a sudden, the picture was a very familiar one again albeit 45 minutes later than we’ve gotten used to this tournament: the USA in control on the scoreboard, and ready to scrap like a dog with a bone to hold onto it for dear life.

2019 First Democratic Presidential Debate.

Miami, Florida June 26th, 2019 (CNBC). Ten Democratic candidates faced off for the first time Wednesday night in Miami, making repeated appeals to the working class and targeting corporations as they jockey for position in the 2020 presidential primary.

Some key business issues barely came up during the first Democratic debate. President Donald Trump's trade war with China and pledges to break up technology titans saw little or no mention during the two hours of debate.

But Democrats drilled into arguments that they are best equipped to boost the working and middle classes as they elbow to gain ground in a field of two dozen strong. From pledging to make opioid companies criminally liable, promising to reduce drug prices and proposing to take on corporate consolidation, the 2020 candidates kept up the scrutiny of corporate America and the wealthy that has marked the early days of the primary cycle.

From the start, contenders aimed to show how they could improve a solid U.S. economy earning strong marks from voters. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., called for "structural change" to improve a system she says benefits "giant" drug and oil companies but not consumers. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said Trump "sits in the White House and gloats" while Americans struggle to afford college and health-care premiums.

Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke said he would reverse the 2017 GOP tax cuts and hike the corporate tax rate to 28% from the current 21% to pay for social programs. And Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., argued that indicators "from GDP to Wall Street's rankings is not helping people in my community."

Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, slammed General Motors for having the "audacity" to move car production to Mexico after getting a tax cut and a taxpayer bailout.

The first of two nights of debates showed a Democratic field itching to prove a populist bent in a party that has increasingly argued large corporations have prospered while consumers have suffered. And Warren — the highest polling candidate on stage Wednesday night who has pushed to break up companies from Amazon to Monsanto and tax wealth above $50 million faced no direct attacks from her competitors.

Aseem Prakash, a University of Washington political science professor, said he saw inequality and the message of big corporations working against America as the main theme of the night. He called it a "serious problem" that "the rank and file of the Democratic Party want to hear." Prakash described the message "populism light."

The second of the two debate nights, hosted by NBC News, MSNBC and Telemundo, will take place 9 p.m. ET Thursday. ET. It will feature three of the race's top contenders in former Vice President Joe Biden and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. Divisions have surfaced among those three candidates on economic issues from trade to health care.

2018 Midterms Election #ElectionNight.

New York City, USA November 8th, 2018 (FOX News). The big story coming out of Tuesday’s midterm elections is how totally the news media missed the issue of what waves were building. There was no red wave. If there had been, Republicans would have kept majority control of the U.S. House and had even more pickups in the Senate.

There was no blue wave. If there had been, Democrats would have gained control of the Senate. There was an underreported green wave, which attempted to drown Republicans in left-wing money. And there was the usual anti-Republican liberal media wave, which tried to prop up Democrats.

This was a fascinatingly complex election in which unique Republican personalities won re-election as governors in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Maryland – three clearly blue states and one purple state in the Northeast. The biggest change in this election was the sheer volume of money generated by left-wing billionaires and activist groups who hate President Trump. In congressional race after congressional race, Republicans suddenly found millions of dollars poured in against them on a scale that resembled Senate races in the past.

House Republicans had hurt themselves by allowing the number of House incumbent retirees to become larger than any time since 1930, when the Brookings Institution started tracking congressional retirements. Breaking an 88-year record for retirees is a tough way to start an off-year election for the incumbent president’s party.

Despite this institutional disadvantage, President Trump’s House losses were far less than either the 54 seats President Clinton lost in 1994 or the 63 seats President Obama lost in 2010. Measured against the Clinton and Obama standard, you would have to give President Trump an A+ for keeping Republican House losses to a minimum – and setting the stage for a Republican majority comeback in the 2020 presidential election.

In the Senate, the president, working with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., put together a great, focused campaign that has reversed historic norms and gained seats. In fact, as I am writing this, it appears that enough Republicans will have won Senate seats that it will be far more difficult for Democrats to have a shot at winning a Senate majority in 2020 than anyone might have expected.

The best example of the green wave’s failure is Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas. He became the darling of the media – the left’s political rock star to battle Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who the media despises. O’Rourke raised more than $70 million, a record for a U.S. Senate race – and an amount we used to associate with presidential campaigns. After all the liberal media hype, and the sheer volume of money from the green wave, O’Rourke lost.

Once again, the voters of Texas disappointed the liberal media by refusing to elect their darling. Republicans gained Senate seats to an unprecedented degree, because President Trump personally crisscrossed the county holding massive rallies, which dwarfed the size of former President Obama’s rallies.

This was President Trump’s victory, and he and Sen. McConnell will use it well to continue getting judges and other nominees confirmed by the Senate, to block left-wing actions by the Democrats, and to set the stage for key legislative achievements the American people want (probably starting with infrastructure investments and reforms).The president defeated both the money wave and the liberal media – and had a very successful midterm election for a first-term president.
