THE PERFECT HYPOCRISY JOKE: "A socialist with three homes, an anti-capitalist worth millions of dollars and a woman who stole a Native American’s spot at Harvard Law by faking her heritage walk into a bar to lecture everybody about inequality."
THE WAGES OF GENTRY LIBERALISM: move out of a college dorm and into a company dorm.

Isn't liberalism great?

When we lived in Virginia, my wife and I visited several 'company towns' dating back to Virginia's 'gold rush' in the early-to-mid 1880's. They didn't survive; neither will gentry liberalism.

For those who are interested - and can find a copy - there is a (Analog, February 1987) novella by Stephen L. Burns ('In the Kingdom at Morning') about the ultimate in company towns.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The rapid 'progress' of progressivism.
GOOD IDEA? "[I]f someone has to suffer the pain that comes with unfair trade, I vote it be the people trading unfairly."
TOTALLY [IN]SANE DEMOCRATS push ban on armed teachers in schools. Because, because ... shut up.
VIRGINIA SNOWFLAKES DEMOCRATS are ‘offended’ and ‘emotionally shaken’ by historical facts.

It's tough when reality stomps on your ego....
BREAKING NEWS: a gun won't give you the guts to run toward danger. No, but a concealed carry permit accompanying the gun might.

I say that because people who've gone to the time and trouble to acquire a legal carry permit have probably thought long and hard about what they might do if called to the sound of shots fired.
BECAUSE THE MEDIA HATES THEM: Why the 'deporables' hate the media.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION sues California over interference with immigration enforcement.

Now is the time for President Trump to put his DACA proposal back on the table as a best-and-final offer to Congress. He should tell them to pass it as is or he will vigorously enforce current immigration law as is.
TWO OP-EDS: A stark portrait of left vs. right.

I'm reminded of two posts I wrote a few years back suggesting progressives in their bubble were akin to monkeys in a zoo exhibit. I'm now inclined to believe the zoo is too weak an analogy; a mental hospital is better.
