SO SOCIALISM is a sexually transmitted disease?

That has to be inadvertent, but it is soooo on-point.

I can visualize the tagline: 'Prevent progressivism; use a condom'.

VIA TWITCHY on the Mollie Tibbitt murder:

Where's the Time Magazine cover for this family separation?

WTF, Associated Press? Your take on Mollie Tibbetts murder is absolutely ghastly.

FIVE REASONS government can't work the way socialists believe it must:

(1) Unintended consequences abound.

Socialists live in a fantasy world where there are no unintended consequences. The unintended consequence is that they're completely unprepared when they show up - and they do

(2) Paradoxically, the more powerful government gets, the more susceptible it becomes to outside influences.

It's usually called graft and corruption. At which socialists excel.

(3) Government does almost nothing well.

True statement. 'Competent government is an oxymoron.

(4) Government just doesn’t care about your life as much as you do.

See (5) below.

(5) It goes against human nature.

Granted, humans are tribal, but the basic tribal unit is me and those I'm responsible for. No one knows me better than I do.

Capitalism works because capitalists invest in controlling themselves for their economic wellbeing; socialism doesn't work because socialists invest in controlling others.

No wonder she's running for Congress; her application for employment as a Starbucks barista must have been rejected....

SURVEY FINDS Black business ownership in the U.S. jumped 400% in one year. And who has been President?

According to an update, the 400% increase can't be corroborated, but the consensus seems to be that an improved economy and regulatory relief have been major factors.

OCASIO-CORTEZ LAMENTS DINER THAT CLOSED … partly due to policy she promotes.

It's even funnier when you remember she's an economics major (from Boston University).

DNC GOES GENDER-NEUTRAL, demands equal number of men and women on committees. How can they be gender neutral when they limit membership to only men and women?

OHIO STUDENTS asked which victim group they’d vote off a spaceship fleeing a dying Earth.

That's easy - progressives.

UNFORTUNATELY, true.
