The Michigan primary portion of the Acela Media’s ongoing panic over the fraying of President Joe Biden’s coalition is drawing to a close. But ahead of the Tuesday primary‚ there was time for ABC to get one last Sunday installment into the record. Watch as ABC This Week’s “Power Panel” delves into its latest installment of MICHIGAN DOOM- as aired on Sunday‚ February 25th‚ 2024: MARTHA RADDATZ: Let's move onto Michigan. You've got Michigan this week and progressives have been upset about Joe Biden's support of Israel‚ which we think there might be some sort of ceasefire and hostage release brewing. They- that state has the largest percentage of Arab American voters. How concerned should the campaign be about this?  RACHEL BADE: Way more concerned than they currently are. I actually talked to the leader of the Abandon Biden movement on the ground there. He's a Palestinian American‚ those folks who have had family members who have died during the bombardments in Gaza‚ and he was a Biden voter. Just a few months ago‚ he had a sign- Biden/Harris sign in his yard. Now he says he would sooner vote for…what did he say? Sooner vote for Mickey Mouse than Joe Biden- even if it means voting for Donald Trump. So I think that- if you look at the numbers- one more thing‚ Martha‚ Joe Biden won by 150‚000 votes in Michigan. There are 200‚000 Muslim or Arab American voters in Michigan. If he alienates all of them‚ Michigan is gone for him.  RADDATZ: And‚ small numbers‚ really‚ overall. We just have a few seconds here‚ but really could have a profound impact.  ASMA KHALID: A critical impact. And to that point‚ I spoke with a number of people who sat in meetings either with Biden campaign officials or with Biden officials‚ policy makers‚ who are so dissatisfied- came out of those meetings still not convinced that they will vote for Joe Biden.  RADDATZ: Something we'll all watch this week. Michigan coming up. Thanks to all of you. We’re into the third month of the media’s fretting over Biden’s prospects in Michigan‚ which is primed to be a swing state in 2024. The pattern is the same across networks: A correspondent parachutes into Dearborn‚ speaks to a few community leaders‚ and wraps their item by emoting concern over Biden’s electoral prospects should Michigan fall to Trump.  Even the questions are the same. It’s always some variant of “are you willing to refuse to vote for Biden over Gaza even if Trump wins?” And the answers are some variant of “I must vote my conscience” or “If Trump wins‚ Trump wins”. ABC News had‚ until now‚ avoided mentioning “Abandon Biden”‚ a movement endorsed by both U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib and Bernie Sanders’ “Our Revolution”. The ongoing ask of Democratic primary voters is to embarrass Biden over his Gaza response by voting “Uncommitted”.  With Primary night virtually upon us‚ what can we expect going forward? Look to the percentages garnered by “Uncommitted” in places like Dearborn and Hamtramck. Should there be news of some sort of ceasefire in Gaza‚ look to these same correspondents to parachute back into the Arab American community seeking to elicit positive reactions. If not‚ expect the “DOOM” drumbeat to continue‚ and for the “Biden’s coalition is crumbling” series to extend itself.  

Universities are not alone among our institutions that have lost their way. How about America’s corporations‚ which now seem to think social justice is their job‚ beside efficiently delivering goods and services to the American public? In a recent panel discussion at the Bipartisan Policy Institute‚ Jamie Dimon‚ chairman and CEO of JPMorgan‚ the nation’s largest bank‚ rang the alarm about the nation’s debt. He noted what is already widely known — that federal debt now equals 100% of GDP‚ on its way to 130% of GDP by 2035. We’re headed for a cliff at “60 miles an hour‚” said Dimon. But this is not new. In 2018‚ for instance‚ an opinion piece in The Washington Post authored by four distinguished economists from the Hoover Institution — Michael Boskin‚ John Cochrane‚ John Cogan and John B. Taylor‚ along with former Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz — announced “A debt crisis is on the horizon.” They pointed to the enormous burden and risk to our budget of the then debt burden‚ which stood at $15 trillion‚ 76% of GDP. Now we’re at $34 trillion and 100% of GDP. At the end of 2008‚ debt stood at 43% of GDP. It is good that the chairman of the largest bank in the country is waking up. But where has he been and is he really waking up? Per OpenSecrets‚ which tracks and reports political spending‚ in the most recent political cycle‚ 2023/2024‚ 65% of JPMorgan’s political contributions went to Democrats‚ and their contributions to “liberal groups” were greater than contributions to “conservative groups” by a margin of 10-to-1. The Business Roundtable is a Washington‚ D.C.-based association of “more than 200 chief executive officers of America’s leading companies ... that support one in four American jobs and almost a quarter of U.S. GDP.” In 2019‚ Jamie Dimon served as their chairman‚ and under his leadership‚ they made a significant change. It has always been understood that the responsibility of any corporation is to serve the interests of its shareholders — the owners of the company. Economist Milton Friedman wrote in his famous book “Capitalism and Freedom‚” first published in 1962‚ that corporations have one responsibility — to maximize profitability for its shareholders. “Few trends could so thoroughly undermine the very foundations of our free society as the acceptance by corporate officials of a social responsibility other than to make as much money for their stockholders as possible‚” wrote Friedman. But in 2019 the Business Roundtable did exactly this. They announced that they were abandoning primacy of serving shareholders as the core corporate responsibility and that shareholders would now be viewed as just one group of “stakeholders‚” alongside “customers‚ employees‚ suppliers” and “communities.” What happened to private property? Corporate CEOs work for the owners‚ the shareholders. Private property is what sets a free society apart from socialism. Dimon noted‚ “The American dream is alive but fraying. ... These modernized principles reflect the business community’s unwavering commitment to continue to push for an economy that serves all Americans.” If the American dream is “fraying‚” it is because of departure from the principles that define a free society‚ upon which our great country emerged. Economic freedom‚ private property‚ personal responsibility and creativity are the source of our success‚ not of our failures. Blurring the lines between the private and the public‚ no one knows what their job is — government‚ corporations‚ universities. Government has exploded by trying to do what individuals should be doing for themselves. The result of all the efficiencies is slowdown of growth. The victims are the poor‚ not high-earning CEOS. As our country sinks under a tsunami of spending and debt‚ hopefully the CEO of the nation’s largest bank‚ and CEOs of all our corporations‚ will wake up that loss of freedom‚ not too much freedom‚ is what is hurting our nation.

The Associated Press was obliterated online for a recent article that attempted to dismiss the illegal immigrant murder suspect in the brutal killing of Laken Hope Riley‚ and instead tried to blame toxic masculinity for the brutal slaying. On Saturday‚ the AP published an article titled: "The killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes."The article did not acknowledge that Riley's suspected killer was an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. Instead‚ the news site described Jose Antonio Ibarra as an "Athens resident." The writer‚ Janie Har‚ referenced the 2018 murder of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts – who was also murdered while jogging. Once again‚ Har did not mention that Tibbets was murdered by an illegal immigrant. Instead‚ Har focused on "the dangers female runners face" and the "hypervigilance women must take when going out‚ even for a run on campus."The article cited a survey from the clothing company Adidas that found 92% of women reported "feeling concerned for their safety‚ with half [51%] afraid of being physically attacked‚ compared to 28% of men."The survey added‚ "Over a third (38%) of women have experienced physical or verbal harassment‚ and of these women over half have received unwanted attention (56%)‚ sexist comments or unwanted sexual attention (55%)‚ been honked at (53%)‚ or followed (50%)."The article stated‚ "But Callie Rennison‚ a professor of criminal justice at the University of Colorado who studies violence against women‚ wishes there was more emphasis on teaching men not to assault women rather than telling women what they should or should not do."The Associated Press article was torn to shreds by online commentators who bashed the piece as "disgusting" and "putrid propagandizing" for President Joe Biden.Blaze News senior editor Daniel Horowitz: "This is the died suddenly Covid schtick now applied to the Venezuelan gang of invaders."Columnist Adam Johnston: "What a garbage headline. Laken Riley was murdered by an illegal alien who was afforded refuge in a sanctuary city. That’s the story. The ONLY story. But journalism is nothing but regime propaganda and leftist narratives."Gov. Ron DeSantis senior analyst Christina Pushaw: "American Pravda strikes again. They’d rather stop women from running alone than stop illegal immigration."Writer Charles C. W. Cooke: "They can’t change because this is what they think their job is."Podcast host Monica Crowley: "This is disgusting‚ AP. The killing of Laken Riley had nothing to do with 'the fears of solo female athletes.' Her murder is the direct result of Biden’s wide open border that allowed in her illegal alien killer. Your putrid propagandizing for Biden &; murderers is sickening."1776 Project PAC founder Ryan James Girdusky: "Yep…. The story of an illegal alien who broke into our country‚ committed a crime in one state‚ released back into the community because of sanctuary city laws‚ flees to another state where he rapes and murders a young woman is really just a story about solo female athletes."Florida state Representative Berny Jacques: "The corporate media will bend over backwards to avoid mentioning this was done by an illegal alien allowed in our country."Republican activist Scott Presler: "This young American girl was killed by an illegal alien. So‚ when we say that Americans are being replaced‚ we really mean it. Democrats are welcoming illegal aliens into the country. They welcome the lawlessness. Democrats do not care about us or they would secure the border."DeSantis press secretary Jeremy Redfern: "Victim blaming‚ because the alleged murderer is an illegal alien."Columnist Derek Hunter: "It wasn't the run that killed her‚ it was the illegal alien from a 3rd world country with a culture that views women as garbage to be used by men that Democrats in this country refused to keep out or deport that killed her. Own it."The "End Wokeness" account: "Illegal alien from Venezuela is described as an 'Athens resident.' The framing of the story is about toxic masculinity. No matter how much you think you hate the media‚ it is not enough."Writer Ian Miller: "It really is jaw-dropping how hard the media will work to avoid mentioning any aspect of a story that makes their political party or progressive ideology look bad."Author Rachel Bovard: "Running alone was not what killed her‚ you complete hacks."Writer Tom Bevan: "Just insane framing. The media never fails to disappoint."Ruth Peterson: "Look at the tweet &; think about what it says. AP has no integrity. She was killed by someone here illegally and who was released after being apprehended at the border. How is this OK? And how can you consider any media outlet who reports on it like this as having credibility?"Media critic Stephen L. Miller: "Pretty sure that's not the lesson here."Like Blaze News?
