IMPEACHMENT: The one word mysteriously absent from the Democrat convention.

Among other words: like Russia, Ukraine, riots/looting/murder (er, 'mostly peaceful protests')....

TWO TWENTY-SOMETHING OBSCENITY-HURLING WHITE WOMEN steal a 7-year-old's MAGA hat. And attacked his mother.

They've been arrested. Now they must get prison time.

RANDOM THOUGHT: May God bless America -- because Democrats won't.

A NEW INSANITY WRAP: 'Mostly peaceful' means 'entirely dead'.

Well, not quite, but close enough for Government work....

THE DIPLOMAD gives Day One of the Republican convention a grade of 'A-/B+'. I'd go with a simple 'A'.

AS USUAL, THREE GUESSES WITH THE FIRST TWO NOT COUNTING: Want to guess why CNN's Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo NOW say the leftist rioting must stop?

RI-I-IGHT: Lefty professor says fleeing New Yorkers not a problem because immigrants will replace them.

I think he'll change his tune when his taxes go up dramatically. I really doubt that all those new immigrants from 'Bangalore and Ukraine and Natal' will have the economic clout of those leaving for friendlier climes....

ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ tried to mock the GOP on Twitter ... It did not go well. Click on the Twitter links for a laugh.

POWERLINE: More loose ends.

Now we know what a Democrat's staff are for -- blaming.

FROM MY EMAIL: A brief (recent) history of slavery.

From the past:

1. The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson; link.

2. South Carolina’s largest slave holder in 1860 was a black plantation owner named William Ellison; link.

3. American Indians owned thousands of black slaves; link.

4. In 1830 there were 3,775 free black people who owned 12,740 black slaves; link.

5. Many black slaves were allowed to hold jobs, own businesses and own real estate;

6. Brutal black on black slavery was common in Africa for thousands of years; link.

7. Most slaves brought from Africa to America were purchased from black slave owners; link.

8. Irrelevant since slaves, being property, could not legally free themselves, but white people ended legal chattel slavery.

To the present:

1. Barack Obama, who has stoked the fires of racial hatred for the last eight years, is the direct paternal descendant of slave owners; link.

2. You certainly won't hear CNN's Anderson Cooper mentioning Obama's sordid family history, lest Obama might remind Cooper, the son of heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, that his family also was slave owners; link.

3. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who found some Lee and Jackson statues to remove from the Empire State, seems to have forgotten New York is named for one of the most notorious slave traders in history, the Duke of York. Better tear down that Big Apple, Andy.

4. Before defacing and tearing down statues became the latest Leftist fad, Virginia's carpet-bagging Clintonista, Gov. Terry McAuliffe, characterized the Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson statues on Richmond's Monument Avenue as "parts of our heritage." After Charlottesville, McAuliffe re-characterized them as "flash points for hatred, division and violence."

5. "Blacks who were never slaves are fighting whites who were never owned slaves over a Confederate statue erected by southern Democrats because Democrats can't stand their own history anymore......yet somehow, it's Trump’s fault!"

6. Recently the brilliant Democrat leaders all took an eight minute knee to honor George Floyd wearing an African scarf. The idiots apparently were not aware that the scarfs that they had draped around their necks were the colors and design of the African Ashanti tribe one of the largest marketers of slavery ever.

I haven't tried to verify the links, but from my own lifetime experience, most of this rings true. Make of it what you will.

TELL IT TO THOSE OF US WHO'VE BEEN LOCKED DOWN FOR MONTHS. New thinking on COVID lockdowns: They’re overly blunt and costly.

DEMOCRATS V. REPUBLICANS: They feel good when you feel bad.

PROPER USE OF GUN CONTROL: Florida woman shoots, kills man trying to break into her home.

Can't say much about her choice of friends, but still, she did the right thing.
