Move over Walmart, McDonald’s, and Amazon; Bernie Sanders has set his sights on another major American industry: Major League Baseball.
Sanders’ latest attacks focus on the League’s current proposal that would reduce the number of Minor League Baseball Clubs.
“.@MLB is proposing to cut 42 Minor League Baseball clubs.
This has nothing to do with what’s good for baseball and everything to do with greed.
It would destroy thousands of jobs and devastate local economies.
I’m urging @MLB Commissioner Manfred to stop this proposal,” posted Sanders on social media.

“Depriving American families in small and mid-sized towns the only opportunity they have to see a live baseball game with future big league players at a reasonable price is both unwise and unnecessary,” said Sanders in a written letter to the Commissioner of Baseball.
SOVIET STYLE: Elizabeth Warren Says She’ll ‘Do Whatever it Takes’ to ‘Stop Climate Crisis’
Rising Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren pledged to “do whatever it takes” to “stop the climate crisis” Friday; saying the United States must introduce “big structural change” to save our planet.
“I’m willing to do whatever it takes to stop the climate crisis—and that starts with eliminating the filibuster so that we can make the big, structural change we desperately need to save our planet,” Warren posted on social media.
Thank you, @JayInslee. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to stop the climate crisis—and that starts with eliminating the filibuster so that we can make the big, structural change we desperately need to save our planet. https://t.co/t50mffJPmA

Judge Jeanine Pirro spoke with Sean Hannity Thursday on Elizabeth Warren’s wild policy proposals; saying -if elected- her “new deals” on healthcare, childcare, and climate would ultimately “break this country.”
“Clearly, she has used this to her advantage. I wonder how many people have actually considered the fact that she lied to get ahead, she lied to get into Harvard, she lied to make money off of Harvard,” said Pirro on Warren’s claims of Native American ancestry.
“Unfortunately, the movement is going in her direction because now she’s at 25%, edging in on Joe Biden… She now is smart enough to make all the tactical moves. Her deals are going to break this country, it’s just not going to work,” she added.
Polling from earlier this month had Warren tied with Biden just months before Democratic voters head to the polls.
“The 2020 candidate pulled off a rare showing in an Economist/YouGov poll published Wednesday, tying the largely untouchable former Vice President Joe Biden with 26 percent support among registered voters. It marks one of the few polls where Biden is within danger of losing his frontrunner status, and contains a dismal prediction for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.),” reports The Week magazine.
“Biden has only had a few close calls in previous polls, but Warren’s 2020 rise has seemingly been eating away at his support as well as Sanders’. In a late August poll from Monmouth University, Sanders and Warren topped the pool with 20 percent support, and Biden was just behind at 19 percent. In this Economist/YouGov poll, Biden is back up, but so is Warren, both leaving Sanders a full 10 points behind at 16 percent,” adds the website.
SOVIET STYLE: Elizabeth Warren Says She’s Tired of America’s ‘Freeloading Billionaires’
Senator Elizabeth Warren continued her all-out attack on America’s wealthiest residents during Wednesday’s Democrat debate; saying she’s “tired of freeloading billionaires” who don’t pay their fair share in taxes.
“Today, the 99% in America are on track to pay about 7.2% of their total wealth in taxes. The top one-tenth of 1% that I want to say pay two cents more, they’ll pay 3.2% in America. I’m tired of freeloading billionaires. I think it’s time that we ask those at the very top to pay more so that every single one of our children gets a real chance,” Warren said in Atlanta.

Warren doubled-down on her demands for the ‘Green New Deal’ Monday; saying the radical proposal is “about fighting for economic justice” for American workers.
“The Green New Deal isn’t just about fighting climate change. It’s about fighting for environmental and economic justice. American workers can lead the global effort to end the climate crisis, build a green new economy, and create more than a million good jobs here at home,” posted Warren on social media.

A new report from the Wall Street Journal is shedding dramatic new light on Elizabeth Warren’s economic proposal; saying her recently revealed tax plan could bring rates over 100% for wealthy Americans.
“Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has unveiled sweeping tax proposals that would push federal tax rates on some billionaires and multimillionaires above 100%,” writes the Wall Street Journal.
“That prospect raises questions for taxpayers and the broader economy that experts are starting to ponder: Under which circumstances would taxpayers have to pay those rates? How might that change their behavior? And would investment and economic growth suffer?” adds the report.
