JOY REID outdoes the Leftists who like to call Trump Hitler.

She -- and they -- are full-on batshit crazy.
IT’S NOT HYPOCRISY if your core belief is 'my side is always right'.

More Justice Kagan here.
THE 'RIGHTS' OF DESIGNATED VICTIMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED: Denver throws car owners under the bus for illegals.
EVERY CITY SHOULD HAVE ONE (OR MORE): Turning trash into affordable electricity.

It beats the hell out of having unsightly high-voltage power lines transporting their pollution into my neck of the woods....
POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES just won my Cartoon of the Millennium award. Here it is:
I can't stop laughing either. But there are many more; go see them.
J.K. ROWLING destroys trans ideology:
Attention all men telling me I look like a trans woman: I’m sensing that this isn’t meant as a compliment. In fact, the implication seems to be that trans women look male, or odd, or ugly. This is appallingly transphobic and I’ll thank you to take your bigotry off my timeline.
Enough said....
POWERLINE: The gates of Evin prison. I can only hope that the political prisoners held there escaped, and are going after the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps with vengeance in mind.

YES! YES, YES, YES. Bring back our knobs: analog vs. digital.

And keys. Real, physical, metal keys....
SEN. JOHN KENNEDY [R-LA] agrees with the SCOTUS injunction decision, tells detractors to file a 'hurt feelings report' and buy a comfort rock.
FINALLY, A SUPREME COURT that actually follows the law and voids universal injunctions.
THE SUPREME COURT LAYS DOWN THE LAW: Schools can't force alphabet ideology down kids' throats.

If schools choose to keep the LGBTQWERTYUIOP++ curriculum -- which they shouldn't -- it should be mandatory for parents to opt in, not out.
AMMO GRRRLL has thoughts on Leftist 'humor':
Look, Democrats, I’m begging you, okay? As a humorist, as a person who loves to laugh, as a woman who made a fine living for several decades from comedy, I am imploring you Democrats and your ghostwriters to please stop trying to be funny. You aren’t. You are awful, hateful, enraged mentally ill people and you can’t do humor. I’m sorry, it’s just not in your wheelhouse and that’s the truth. It’s actually painful to watch.
She's right. Democrats are dour and dumb. Even apes are more optimistic after hearing laughter; maybe that's why laughter is forbidden on the Left....
THE MENTALLY ILL ARE ALWAYS WITH US: Armed Texas woman sat in lawn chair on busy highway during hours-long standoff with police.

We've reached a point in society that victims have more rights than the victimized. It's well past time to return to mental hospitals and involuntary commitment. Herewith some additional comments from the above post:
wianno168: Closing mental hospitals in the 1970's has resulted in homeless epidemic, drug use epidemic, and degradation of our society. When ,if ever, will this policy be reversed to provide compassionate care for the mentally ill, and protection for productive members of our society.

itsjustme971: Yes. There were certainly abuses in the system, but instead of regulating them they closed them down. The costs to society in law enforcement, prisons, social services, homeless programs and many other things, far outweigh the cost of mental hospitals.

plaintruth355: Doubt if [it] can ever be changed since those mentally ill won the " right" that they can only be very rarely hospitalised against their will. So people with a limited grasp of things have that right and freedom and many times the doctors, police and soclial workers cannot do anything unless they can show the person is a danger to themself or others.
I am really, really tired of being punished for other people's problems
RANDOM THOUGHT: In today's society, fact checking isn't; it's been replaced by opinion checking.
RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN: Senate parliamentarian rules aren't binding.

Unless they favor Democrats....
A NEW CONSPIRACY THEORY about Joe Biden's disasterous June 2024 debate with Donald Trump.

It sounds plausible enough; the Democrats can talk the talk, but they cannot walk the walk without stumbling over their two Left feet.
AMEN: More older Americans are delaying retirement or trying to get hired, but can’t.

I was among those who were 'retired' early. Luckily I had to saved enough that I'll never need to work again although I'd dearly love to.

And I won't have to sell all or part of my life insurance policy (which I don't have)....
BUBBLE GUM IS CHEAPER THAN EBAY: Air traffic control system is held together with duct tape and eBay parts.

And probably equally effective....

PROGRESSIVES ARE MORE PROOF you can't fix stupid.
SHORT ANSWER, NO: Can the Left ever stop its craziness?

The Left has been taken over by bubble-wrapped idealoges.
A TERRIBLE PRESIDENT and an awful human being.

And an idiot to boot.
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER HAS CHOSEN ASSISTED SUICIDE FOR HIS REGIME: Iran launches missiles at U.S. bases in Qatar.
ANOTHER ONE GONE: Haircare giant moving its headquarters from California.

It would be fitting if they were the suppliers of Gov. Hair Gel....
MORE PROOF -- IF ANY IS NEEDED -- that Democrats are stupid.

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD: the scandal of the Biden ‘tell-all’ books.
Despite the world crumbling all around them, the [Biden] inner circle never broke ranks. This raises the third reason, beyond groupthink and the desperation to beat Trump, for the cover-up. Parnes and Allen argue that the Politburo was motivated by venality. Its members were desperate to maintain their own elevated positions.
Read the whole post.
LOS ANGELES TIMES: Men are cowards - women wearing T-shirts are the real heroes.

That may be true with bubble-wrapped progressives, but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't apply to normal Americans. My wife agrees.

OPERATION RISING LION: The mullahs are out of cards — except one.

THE CONSERVATIVE WOMAN: Fighting the lies.
KURT SCHLICHTER: We voted to deport every single one of them.
[B]y “every single one of them,” I mean every single one of them. No exceptions. No quarter. No carveouts for farm or hospitality workers – the people trying to convince Trump to let up on that simply want to keep their serfs. Send them all back.
For those illegals whose only criminal activity has been crossing the border, listen to Kristi Noem: self-deport, then return legally. Under those circumstances we will welcome you.
SEND HIM BACK TO GAZA and let him tweet from there.

SKIP THE ADS and watch the late, great American cities fall.

I'd also recommend reading A Canticle for Leibowitz if you can find it at a bookstore. America is rapidly approaching the novel's ending.

A question: can the car hailers be tracked and identified? If not today, they certainly will by tomorrow....
SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN [D-PA] may be the last remaining sane Democrat.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: ‘America Stands Tall, Stands Proud, Stands Free’.

I watched the entire U.S. Army's 250th Anniversary parade on Saturday. It was patriotic, joyous, and important to me, entirely free of any 'woke' content.

Thank you, Mr. President. More, please.
DR. MARC SIEGEL: Grandma and Grandpa are turning golden years into a high time and it’s not safe.

With all due respect to Dr. Seigel, that's a load of crap. As a senior myself, it's not a matter of 'health'; smoking, drinking -- and even marijuana -- have benefical effects that can easily outweigh the risks given our reduced expected lifetimes.

Mind your own health, doc. I'll mind mine, thank you.

WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KAROLINE LEAVITT sums up the anti-ICE mayhem in Los Angeles perfectly:
“In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens. That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester. The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.”
"The Left is a massive blob of antisemites, open-border clowns, and domestic terrorists. They need to be squashed. If that means deploying tanks in Los Angeles forever, so be it."
THE LOS ANGELES CHAOS IS AN ILLUSION and Trump will not fall for it.

Read it all and take heart -- this will end well (for us).
'PATRONAGE' is a word conservatives need to learn.

And use aggressively.
WHOOPS: LOS ANGELES MAYOR KAREN BASS may have had a little change of heart about anti-ICE chaos.

Your opinions may change when it's your ass in the gunsight....
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION means business. In response to an X post Friday by Mayor Karen Bass, Small Business Administration administrator Kelly Loeffler said the agency will "immediately" be moving out of the L.A. area.
"Los Angeles is openly refusing to cooperate with ICE -- siding with illegal aliens over American citizens and small businesses. Therefore, effective immediately, @SBAgov will begin relocating its Regional Office out of L.A.

If a city won’t protect its people, we won’t stay.
Good for them.
OFFICIALS ARE CALLING OUT Hakeem Jeffries, LA Mayor Karen Bass, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and "Tampon" Tim Walz for fueling anti-ICE rhetoric.

It'll be over then the likes of these twits are arrested, indicted, convicted, and jailed for inciting these riots. And it a few rioters are mangled in the meantime so much the better.
ROUND AND ROUND WE GO: A survival guide to America’s most pointless circle.

You get used to them after a while. They may be more efficient, but I still think they're a waste of space and prefer 4-way stops.

KURT SCHLICHTER: Patriots are the losers in the Trump v. Musk fight.

Update: Naybe not; is the rift healing?
IT'S NOT HARD WHEN YOU'RE STUPID. People swallow these stories hook, line, and sinker.

GOING FOR GOLD IN THE STUPID OLYMPICS. Representative Jasmine Crockett [D-TX]: Republicans want to put me ‘back in chains’.
DEMOCRATS: It's not 'fascism' when we do it.

Do they have the faintest idea what fascism is?
STOPPING THE SPENDING NOT ON THE TABLE. Chicago mayor pushes for 1% grocery tax to address massive deficit.

Just another instance of the Democrats' philosophy of punishing the innocent to protect the guilty....

ANN COULTER REVIEWS "ORIGINAL SIN" so you don't have to.

Brief summary:
The three main lessons from "Original Sin" are:
1. Democrats are monumental liars.
2. They're still lying.
3. The Biden dead-enders, who fought like banshees to keep him as the candidate, would have been Machiavellian geniuses, not con artists -- if only the media hadn't decided to dump the dementia patient.
The media - and their enablers in the Biden administration -- are power- mad nitwits.
RETURN THE SLAVES TO THE PLANTATION. Democrat Representative Becca Balint [D-VT]: "Need migrant workers 'around to wipe our asses'".
WELL, YES. YES HE DID. Did Hakeem Jeffries threaten ICE agents?

And based on what we're seeing today with the LA riots, I'd guess that the Trump administration is about to bring down the hammer on a whole bunch of California Democrat hypocrites....
WHEN THE SWAMP SCREAMS, you know you’re over the target.

Key quote: "[Elon Musk] didn't break Washington. He just unplugged the fog machine."
CONFIRMING THE DEEP STATE: Self-dealing with NGOs.
THE WASHINGTON POST mocked for reporting on ‘mysterious’ drop in fentanyl flowing across border.

The only 'news' in the Post story:
[P]ublic health authorities are concerned that the Trump administration’s budget cuts could hurt programs that have promoted overdose antidotes and addiction treatment.
Translation: We need more addicts so we (otherwise useless) government workers/contractors can keep our jobs 'helping' them.

JASMINE CROCKETT explains the Democrat playbook.
The winning playbook, I think overall, is just communication and education. I think that you can talk about kitchen table issues all you want to, but it comes down to actually having a rapport and making sure that people actually understand what it is that you’re talking about. I don’t think that we failed to talk about kitchen table issues, but basically, Trump was simple and lied, right? Like he said, ‘Hey, the price of eggs are high. I’ma reduce it on day one.’ It was a very simple message. It was a lie.
A 4-year-old's gibberish makes more sense.
THE COUNTERREVOLUTION is beginning. May it last.
BUT ... BUT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO HELP: Did you hear about the Visa Account Updater?

Which explains why I try very hard to avoid using a credit card on any recurring payments and still use checks instead. Not always successfully, I might add, and it's getting more and more difficult.

WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S EMPHASIS ON TARIFFS, Hillsdale College's Imprimis has an interesting artile on tariffs in American history.
SO THIS LATEST MOVE will save the Democrats for sure.

I find it interesting that the 'Abundance Agenda' referred to in the post by journalists Derek Thompson and Jonathon Chait (and decried by Democrats) is, for all practical purposes, the Trump agenda.
WHAT? Artificial intelligence isn't as dangerous as human incompetence.

I would argue that artifical intelligence is simply human incompetence at warp speed....
