January 1, Biden Sweeps the South, Wins Big on Super Tuesday

This Day in History | 1952
Ronald Reagan marries Nancy Davis.
Good morning Middle Americans,
As Owen Wilson would say, “wow. Joe Biden had a massive night on Super Tuesday, far exceeding expectations. He won Texas, Minnesota, and Massachusetts. Hardly anyone predicted that. As for the rest, Bernie Sanders is very much still in it. He won California and remains in second place in the delegate count. But a weakness was exposed, and it should have been predictable to any political scientist. Young people don’t vote. Meanwhile, Mike Bloomberg is huddling up with his staff today in New York. The former New York City Mayor spent Super Tuesday in West Palm Beach and $500 million dollars on his campaign so far, and all he has to show for it is 4 delegates from American Samoa. Actually he has 44 delegates, but still. We are also looking for Elizabeth Warren to drop out, if not today soon. Not only will she get serious pressure from the establishment wing of the Democratic party, but the far-left will also starting leaning hard on her to back Bernie Sanders.
This morning we also have an update on the Nashville tornado and which areas of the city were hit hardest. Plus the coronavirus continues to march across the globe. President Trump is meeting with airline industry execs, as people start canceling travel plans and the economic impact of the pandemic is also starting to make American businesses struggle.

Joe Biden Wins Texas Primary, Topping off Remarkable Super Tuesday Surge
(The Guardian) -One of America’s most enthusiastic political commentators has swung in with his early-morning take on the Super Tuesday results.
Donald Trump continued with his attempts to make the case that the Democratic establishment is ganging up to deny Bernie Sanders the nomination – a suspicion shared by many of Sanders’ supporters.
In my view Trump needs to be careful how far he goes portraying Bernie as a valiant outsider. If Sanders becomes the nominee, Trump may find he has lost his edge as the one candidate intent on smashing the system.

Many Young Voters Sat out Super Tuesday, Contributing to Bernie Sanders’ Losses
(USA Today) – Young voters cheer Bernie Sanders’ anti-establishment message. They turn out in throngs at his rallies. And they form the core of his grassroots efforts to win the Democratic presidential nomination.
But their fiery passion did not translate into the robust turnout he needed on Super Tuesday to win a number of key states, notably in the South where a strong showing by former Vice President Joe Biden has made the nomination contest a two-man race.
Exit polls for five southern states that Biden won – Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia – found that young voters did not show up at the polls in the numbers they did in 2016.

Elizabeth Warren Vows Not To Quit After Super Tuesday: “I Am In This Fight!”
(AP) -The future of Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign was in serious doubt after she finished a surprisingly weak third in Tuesday’s Democratic primary in her home state of Massachusetts.
The disappointing result in the state she represents and a decidedly underwhelming showing in other Super Tuesday contests — she had built an impressive campaign infrastructure stretching across much of the country — marked a striking collapse for the onetime darling of progressives who was known for having a plan for nearly everything.
On top of mediocre showings in the first four contests — she never finished higher than third place — Warren trailed significantly in the delegate count. Tuesday’s results could speed her exit from the race.

Nashville Tornado Survivor: ‘I Thought this Was the End’
(The Tennessean) -At 12:55 a.m. Tuesday, a storm rolling through the Nashville area produced a tornado that left destruction in its path. By 3 a.m., the Nashville Fire Department reported over 40 reports of collapsed buildings. Across the Midstate, two dozen were killed in the severe weather with most of the fatalities coming from Putnam County.
At 5:10 a.m., NWS Nashville tweeted “Nashville….your severe threat is over.” The storms had passed through the area, yet the true extent of the damage would become apparent after the sun rose.
Here is a look at what happened in each of the hardest hit areas.
Coronavirus: Race to Increase Testing as Coronavirus Spreads in U.S. and Elsewhere
(CBS News) – The coronavirus that emerged late last year and spread from central China was in almost 80 countries Wednesday morning, with outbreaks growing fast in South Korea, Italy, Iran and the United States. At least nine people have died of the COVID-19 disease in the U.S., all of them in Washington state and most of them from a single nursing home in the Seattle area.
Experts were clearly still struggling to get a firm grasp on how easily the disease spreads and how deadly it is, with the head of the World Health Organization saying the data available as of Tuesday suggested it could be more lethal, but less easily transmitted than previously thought. But epidemiologists have stressed there’s still too little data to draw firm conclusions.

Man Arrested for Looting Was Out on Bail for Grisly Crime

Philadelphia, a city under siege, has witnessed the arrest of over 50 individuals in a two-day crime spree, causing the demise of numerous businesses. Among those arrested is Kenneth Frye, a suspect in a recent burglary who was out on bail connected to a significant murder case from the previous year.
The city’s police department apprehended Frye for looting a Fine Wine & Good Spirits store located in West Philadelphia. Previously, Frye, who once worked as a bouncer, was charged in connection to the death of Eric Pope. It’s reported by FOX 29 that he fatally punched Pope outside Tabu Lounge in Center City. Initially charged with 3rd-degree murder, a motion has been filed by the District Attorney’s office to reduce the charge to Involuntary Murder.
This wave of criminal activity, spurred by social media, resulted in numerous arrests, involving both adults and juveniles, and is just a snapshot of the broader chaos infiltrating the city.
Charges ranging from Rioting to Burglary and Disorderly Conduct have been filed against the arrested individuals, with many arrests occurring at notable establishments such as Lululemon, T-Mobile, and Walgreens.
Arrests include:
- Aauanyae Haynes, a Black female, 19
- Sabree Young, a Black female, 31
- Steven Wells, a Black male, 26
- Traqwan Word, a Black male, 24
- Lisa Talley, a Black female, 34
- Yasmine Fields, a Black female, 23
- Kenneth Frye, a Black male, 24
- Kyreek Leak, a Black male, 21
- Reginal Alexander, Black male, 33
- Gabriel Gines, a Hispanic male, 23
- Alena Gigliotti, a White female, 26
- Petra Gonzalez, a White female, 24
- Jessica Blake, a Black female, 37
- Semaj Suber, a Black female, 29
- Aniya Taylor, a Black female, 21
- Hartzog Mashaad, a Black male, 27
- Isis Morgan, a Black female, 23
- Khalilah Green, a Black female, 21
- Ernest McCollum, a Black male, 31
- Jessica Arnold-Coit, a Black female, 30
- Quanika McQueen, a Black female, 31
- Denzel Walker, a Black male, 27
- Mikal Reed, a Black male, 26
- Tyheed Hill, a Black male, 26
- Anthony Abner, a Black male, 35
Per Fox News, three juveniles — a 14-year-old Black male, a 16-year-old Black male and a 14-year-old Black female — were also arrested for Rioting, Burglary, Disorderly Conduct, and Theft at a Lululemon store, according to the report.
This spree of destruction and lawlessness is indicative of the escalating disorder in the city, exemplified by the arrest of Frye, who, despite his involvement in a serious murder case, was back on the streets only to be implicated in further criminal activity.
The city remains in a state of turmoil as businesses struggle to recover, and residents live in the shadow of relentless criminal activity.

One Third of the Entire Country’s Homeless Population Lives in This State

The staggering issue of homelessness looms large over California, with the state hosting nearly a third of the nation’s rising homeless population, which stands at 582,462 people according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In the bustling city of San Francisco, Anthony, a former restaurant worker who has lived in a tent for three years, is just one of over 170,000 unhoused Californians.
The city’s inflated living cost, with average rent for a one-bedroom apartment being roughly $3,000 a month, starkly contrasts with its minimum wage of $18.07 an hour, leaving many like Nelly Sorto, a full-time cleaner and a mother of two, struggling to break into the rental market.
Anthony, a former chef, has experienced the vicious cycle of homelessness firsthand, stating, “Once you get behind, you just can’t get up,” to ABC News.
The economic downturn during the pandemic left many like him, striving to find a permanent home and bouncing from street to street as city officials clear their encampments.
This visible homelessness crisis is often attributed to several factors, including the high cost of living related to the tech boom and mental health issues experienced by many individuals.
Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness, said to ABC News, “California has systemic issues in terms of its housing affordability… So, what we need to do in California is really have a massive investment to offset that difference between incomes and rent.”
The rising number of encampments has sparked frustration across the state, with residents like Jeanne Vasquez expressing concern over safety and the declining quality of life in their areas.
In July, Vasquez conveyed her discontent to ABC Los Angeles, citing instances of broken glass, needles on the ground, and inappropriate behaviors exhibited by individuals dealing with mental illnesses.
To combat this escalating issue, President Joe Biden announced an investment of an extra $3 billion focusing on support services including rental assistance, legal help, and job search support, with a particular emphasis on veterans.
However, GOP presidential hopefuls like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump have utilized the grim reality of the homelessness crisis in blue states to critique Democratic leadership.
Trump has been vocal about his stance on “urban camping,” promising to ban it and offering rehabilitation options for violators, as mentioned in one of his campaign ads.
However, Friedenbach argues that such policies essentially criminalize the homeless and advocates for a more comprehensive approach involving the federal government investing in housing vouchers, long-term housing subsidies, and reforms in mental health and substance use treatment systems.
She believes that this crisis is a “manufactured issue” created by a “lack of investment” and calls for active listening from the federal government to truly understand and address the needs of the unhoused people.
Despite the relentless efforts of San Francisco outreach teams, many unhoused individuals either decline offers of shelter or already have shelter but cannot be compelled to come inside, as per a spokesperson for the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management.
While some, like Anthony, have been offered a place to stay, the glaring reality remains that thousands are still on the streets yearning for a place to call home, with at least 350 unhoused individuals still on the waitlist for housing in San Francisco.
The pervasive crisis necessitates immediate, profound measures and substantial investments to bridge the substantial gap between incomes and rent, and to address the systemic issues contributing to the surge in homelessness.

Parents in Fear as Prowler in White Van Targets Children

New London, Connecticut, is in a state of heightened alert as reports emerge of a man attempting to lure children into his white van.
The New London Police Department, in conjunction with the New London School District, is rigorously working to identify the suspect, whose latest sighting occurred near Bennie Dover Middle School.
The suspect is described as either White or Hispanic with black hair and a beard, which is either black or gray. The vehicle he’s been spotted in has tinted windows.
Residents of New London are understandably rattled.
“It makes me terrified; it makes me sick to my stomach,” expressed Mystique Elefante in a conversation with WFSB.com.
With an infant daughter of her own, Elefante vocalized her fears, stating she’s “afraid for my daughter to grow up,” amidst such unsettling reports.
For New London Police Capt. Matt Galante, the situation demands immediate attention and stringent precautionary measures. Galante advises students to maintain groups for safety and to vocally alarm others if danger is sensed.
“Scream, yell, make as loud a sound as you possibly can. Scream for help,” he told WFSB. “There are strength in numbers. We encourage kids walking home from school to walk together.”
This alarming incident has prompted a community-wide call to vigilance. Capt. Galante emphasized the urgency of alertness within the community and the role of every individual in maintaining a watchful eye.
“We wanted to get the message out to parents and the community at large that this may be happening within our community and for people to be vigilant and look for these types of events,” he mentioned to NBC Connecticut.
The New London Police Department has urged anyone with relevant information to come forward, allowing for anonymous tips to be sent to the New London Tips 411 system.
The involvement of the community is crucial in aiding the ongoing investigation to ensure the safety of the young residents of New London, as law enforcement intensifies its efforts to locate the prowler and his vehicle.
