Bow-out...

After South Carolina, it is the time for Sen. Warren, if she cares for any one else but herself, or if she can put aside her hate for billionaires,  to withdraw or retire from an activity, role, or commitment. Just a thought.

Caution...

Businesses in Wuhan, China, are temporarily suspending operations and moving out employees in an attempt to limit the spread of a deadly coronavirus that has so far killed 80 and infected more than 2,800.

The city of Wuhan, where the virus first broke out, is one of China's biggest industrial hubs. Several large Chinese and foreign corporations operate there.

Household names including PepsiCo, German conglomerate Siemens, and French automaker Peugeot Citroen all have bases in Wuhan and the wider Hubei province.

Sunk...

Bern...

The Dems are weary of the burn.

Disaster...

As Sen. Bernie Sanders emerges from his commanding victory in last weekend's Nevada caucuses, the Democratic establishment and the party's sizable moderate wing are increasingly anxious over his steady march to the presidential nomination -- yet they lack any sort of cohesive plan to stop him.

No outside group has taken the lead to focus resources against Sanders, and there are still too many candidates left in the race for moderates to coalesce around one standard bearer.

The fear isn't just over how Sanders and his far-left platform would fare against President Donald Trump in the general election, it's also about the effect his nomination could have on down-ballot races, particularly for Democrats running in tough elections in swing districts and states.

Several Democratic presidential campaigns agree with the premise that Sanders' candidacy is bad for the party, but that's where the agreement ends. No candidates are willing to make hard decisions about the future of their campaigns until the South Carolina primary on Saturday and Super Tuesday contests three days later, when 14 states and American Samoa weigh in.

Generic...

The FDA has approved the first generic Albuterol inhaler, which could save lives and money for the 26 million Americans suffering from asthma.

ProAir HFA — better known as Albuterol — is a common treatment for people with asthma. FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, M.D. said the approval of the generic version is "part of our longstanding commitment to advance patient access to lower-cost, high-quality generic drug products that are as safe and effective as their brand name counterparts.

The inhaler is a true generic — not made by a brand-name company — which will hopefully drive the price down.

In order for the FDA to approve a generic drug, it must have the same active ingredient as the name-brand product, and it must treat you the same way and have the same overall effects.

Corona...

Stocks fell sharply once again on Thursday as investors worried the coronavirus may be spreading in the U.S. A slew of corporate and analyst warnings also dragged down the major averages.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 462 points, or about 1.7%. The Dow briefly fell more than 900 points earlier in the session. The S&P 500 slid 1.7% while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2%. The Dow was on pace for its worst weekly performance since the financial crisis, falling more than 8% week to date. 

Apple, Boeing and Visa were among the worst-performing Dow stocks, dropping at least 4% each. AMD and Nvidia fell 4% and 4.2%, respectively.

Friday, before the weekend, the market would further loose steam not knowing the Corona Virous impact around the globe.

Since this virous is spreading slowly and impacting the world. The best preventive measures is to quarantine, block transportation, air ports etc, then the world economy got fragmented until further notice. With that, the companies profits deteriorated.

Depending how this virous moves and impacts, a recession might be in the work.

Law ..

A federal appeals court ruled that the Justice Department can refuse to give crime-fighting money to cities and states that consider themselves sanctuaries and refuse to share information with federal immigration authorities.

The unanimous ruling from a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was a defeat for New York City and seven states — Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and Washington. 

They sued after the Justice Department said in 2017 that it would not award grants from a federal program to local governments that withheld information about undocumented immigrants in their jails.

So-called 'sanctuary' policies make all of us less safe because they intentionally undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes," Sessions said at the time. "These policies also encourage illegal immigration and even human trafficking by perpetuating the lie that in certain cities, illegal aliens can live outside the law."

"From now on, the Department will only provide Byrne JAG grants to cities and states that comply with federal law.

Selling...

Mr. Sanders agenda is to provide Free education, free healthcare, Green deal and free immigration and housing. This will cost everyone to pay to support these programs. It will exceed 70 Trillion dollars.

Please come and see a sample to what to come if Sanders is the man.  An example is NYC housing programs, the Homeless that is expanded dramatically and the Mayor tried to ship them to New Jersey. The transportation system that collapsed for years and barley started to recover. Taxing people on every thing they can including congestion pricing that they cause it in the first place.

Just a thought.

Decide...

Democratic megadonor Bernard Schwartz has started reaching out to party leaders, to encourage them to back a candidate for president in order to stop the surge of Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Schwartz, the CEO of BLS Investments, told CNBC that in recent days he's been trying to speak with Pelosi and Schumer about making a pick, in the hope that voters will follow.

"We should know who is the best person to beat Donald Trump, and with all due respect, Bernie Sanders cannot beat Trump," describing the message he has relayed to the two Democratic leaders.

Although he isn't insisting on a particular candidate for Pelosi and Schumer to get behind, he said that he thinks the two best options, for now, are either former Vice President Joe Biden or former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, a billionaire funding his own candidacy for president. 

Schwartz's concerns to leaders are being echoed by many Democratic leaders,
