Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "The Ripper."
Now to the coronavirus issue. This Tweet.
Support your local Chinese restaurants & shops. They are NOT the sources of #covid19 (the #coronavirus ) but they are hurting, all across North America, because of misplaced fears and frank racism.
I would never have tried to connect the two. I also love Chinese food and probably grab it once a week for lunch -- at least.
There are many things to worry about as a result of the pandemic but eating Chinese food really isn't one of them. Also, not that it matters, but in my area there's actually a Chinese food place that is run by Latinos.
To be clear: No coronavirus outbreaks at Chinese buffets.
There's an outbreak of stupidity at MSNBC. Newsweek reports:
The hashtag #FireChuckTodd was trending on Twitter overnight as the MSNBC anchor faced a social media backlash for quoting a column that described Bernie Sanders supporters as a "digital brownshirt brigade."
During a Monday segment on the New Hampshire primary taking place today, Todd complained about being on the "receiving end of the Bernie online brigade" before quoting an article by Jonathan Last in The Bulwark that likened supporters of the Jewish candidate to Nazi paramilitaries.
His decision to quote the conservative outlet outraged supporters of the Vermont senator, who took up the #FireChuckTodd hashtag and described the segment as "indefensible."
Should Chuck Todd be fired?
If you think so, fine. I'm really not for firing people. I do think his role should be limited for a number of months as a warning. He's been around too long to be making this kind of a mistake. What he did was wrong.
I'm all for consequences -- which could include no longer hosting Meet The Press -- but I'm not calling for NBC/MSNBC to fire him.
If others are, that's fine.
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot" for Tuesday:
Tuesday, February 11, 2020. In the US, the first primary takes place.
Today, in the US, Americans hope for some clarity on where the electorate is leaning for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. New Hampshire holds the first primary in the nation.
Some background. In 2016, Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire. Hillary went on to the get the nomination and she carried the stated in the general election, In 2012, President Barack Obama won New Hampshire, won the nomination and carried the state in the general election. In 2008, Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary but Barack Obama won the nomination and later carried the state. In 2004, they went with John Kerry who went on to become the party's presidential nominee. Kerry also carried the state in the general election. In 2000, Al Gore won the primary and he went on to win the nomination. Bully Boy Bush carried the state in the 2000 general election. In 1996, President Bill Clinton won the primary and won the nomination and carried the state in the general election. In 1992, Paul Tsongas won the primary but Bill Clinton ended up with the nomination and Bill carried the state in the general election.
We review that for a baseline, yes, but also because some press outlets just flat out lie.
For example, in an unsigned piece at POLITICO from last November, this lie was published: "In 2016, Clinton won New Hampshire by less than 1 point." Hillary did not carry New Hampshire. What a lie and what an embarrassment for POLITICO. From WIKIPEDIA: "The 2016 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary took place on February 9. As per tradition, it was the first primary and second nominating contest overall to take place in the cycle. Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton in the primary by a margin of more than 22% in the popular vote. Sanders claimed 15 delegates to Clinton's 9.[1]"
When people talk about how the corporate media is out to get Bernie and how they're out to deny him any victory, that's what they're talking about. An article lying about Bernie losing New Hampshire to Hillary is exactly what they're talking about.
Who's on the ballot this go round? Pretty much everyone.
WIKIPEDIA notes the following made the ballot:
Iowa blew its chance to have any real influence. Tonight, New Hampshire has a shot. What's the media saying?

Iowa blew its chance to have any real influence. Tonight, New Hampshire has a shot. What's the media saying?
Listening to CNN right now already saying that it’s not enough for @BernieSanders to just win New Hampshire. I’m sorry but these people are delusional. He doesn’t need to radically change the dynamics of the race. If things hold as they are he will win.
Good morning New Hampshire!!! Go vote for Bernie Sanders!!!
As @AOC said last night we are at a crossroads in our democracy. Take the path towards justice and compassion.
.@BernieSanders is that president.
45 million Americans are drowning in student debt. That isn’t just a statistic — it’s a systemic failure. Our legislation will cancel every penny of the debt that’s keeping young people in poverty.
Bernie Sanders is +18 against Trump with Independents. Important considering a large plurality of voters identify as independent over either party, and it’s been that way for years now. news.gallup.com/poll/15370/par…
TODAY is the New Hampshire Primary.
Post to #BernieForNH your favorite moments from the lead up to today. Canvassing pictures, rallies, phonebanking stories, or just post why New Hampshire votes should vote for @BernieSanders

In Iraq, the protests continue and the protesters continue to be attacked.
These crimes in Iraq, where are the human rights, where is the UN representative?
Former movement leader Moqtada al-Sadr has let his militia attack the protesters. He's also called for segregated protests -- segregated by gender.
Iraq - protests about gender-mixing ban
In response to Muqtada Al-Sadr's tweet calling for separating men and women between the sexes
The slogan of the #Iraqi youth: We Iraqi youth are not the ones who bow to a tweet in Twitter.
#IraqProtests #iraqmillionmanmarch
Iraqis laugh at his notions.
And they look at him and wonder, as he flees to Iran constantly, what kind of marriage does he have?
The 45-year-old took part in an arranged marriage in 1995. He's rarely in the same city as his wife and they have no children. I guess that's the sort of segregation Moqtada practices in his marriage. Maybe he doesn't like women? That would explain a 25 year marriage that has produced no children.
Muqtada al-Sadr should be included in the list of terrorism, because he sends signals to his followers on Twitter to kill civilians, killing more than 15 civilians only for his three tweets. We hope to close his account on Twitter as well, because he is a terrorist.
Protesters who claim they were threatened and tortured by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s armed militiamen in Baghdad are fleeing to Erbil to avoid being jailed under Iraq’s counterterrorism law.
