The DNC Junta Is Continuing The DLC Coup
With just three weeks to go before the Iowa caucus, Bernie Sanders is now in a statistical dead heat with Hillary Clinton.
According to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, he trails her by just 3 points in Iowa, well within the margin of error.

A dead heat.
Has your CEO already made more than you do in a year?
It's only the second week of the new year, but many corporate CEOs have already made more money than most of us will make for the rest of the year.
