MALLARD FILLMORE explains why I haven't watched the Olympics for years....

SO MAYBE MORE GOVERNMENT isn't the answer:

[The Parkland] Florida [school] shooting yet another government failure to keep us safe: From the FBI to local law enforcement to the schools, every institution failed.

And the knee-jerk reaction, every time, especially but not exclusively from Democrats, is for more government control.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Virtue signaling is the Progressive's excuse for not having any.

GOOD GRIEF: 'Politically Correct' is a microaggression. I guess that means that it's no longer politically correct to be politically correct.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Republican embarrassments.

Republican elites were always much closer in spirit to their Democratic counterparts than they were to their own so-called grassroots conservative base. Translated, they mildly were displeased with the Obama agenda, but loathe Trump’s.

THE RULING CLASS hates you. No surprise here; they hate us because we refuse to be 'ruled'.

TOWNHALL REVISITED: Liberals may regret their new rules.

This a repost of a 2015 column by Kurt Schlicter. It's just 3 years later and Liberals are now finding out that they should have paid attention.

THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN ALT-RIGHT is a long and tedious (i.e., boring) article, the gist of which (to me) is that what conventional wisdom associates as 'white supremacy' is really more characteristic of the progressive Left. Read it and see if you agree.

AMMO GRRRLL: it's all about recruiting new Democrats.

The Democrat Party has lurched so far left that it has alienated yuge swaths of the electorate. It is peddling the same stale, tired, hateful, divisive, grievance-grubbing ”material” with the same ancient pitch-coots and spokes-crones. They desperately need a “new audience” of voters to replace the white working class and tax-paying middle classes of all colors whom they have gratuitously insulted and driven away. They are counting on voters who are young, stupid and influenced by endorsements from brain-dead celebrities. Sadly, these people frequently do not bother to vote, like Colin “Cops R Pigs Socks” Kaepernick. But more importantly, they need people who don’t understand English with the exception of two words: “free stuff.”

Their old electorate has failed them. Read it all.

From my email.

YES! GEORGIA LAWMAKERS yank tax break for Delta after airline cuts ties with NRA.

Virtue signaling has consequences.

RACIST: Sen. Chuck Schumer[D(umb)-NY] voted no on judicial nominee because he is white.

They don't even bother to hide their racism any more. Perhaps Sen. Schumer should consider relinquishing his seat in the Senate to some other developmentally disabled progressive but nonwhite candidate....

PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: Delta Airlines (headquartered in Atlanta) breaks ties with NRA; Georgia officials vow to block new tax breaks for the company.

'Virtue signals' have consequences. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be 'woke'.

CALIFORNIA GOES FULL SJW: California Democrats refuse to endorse Feinstein re-election bid.

I think the time has come for an earthquake to push progressive coastal California out to sea....

HEH: Tweet of the week.

NANCY PELOSI ON THE TRUMP TAX CUTS: We [government Democrats] can spend your money better than you can.

No crumbs for the hoi polloi - let them eat government cake.

LIBERALS FAIL, volume XXXVII. Only 37 failures? Oh, you mean this year.

SHE'D HAVE MORE SUCCESS IF SHE'D SIMPLY TELL HER FELLOW HOLLYWEIRDOS TO SHUT UP: Jennifer Lawrence to quit acting for a year to 'fix our democracy'.

BUT THE SMUG IS STILL THERE: Kasich deletes pro-gun section from his campaign website.

He still thinks his shit doesn't stink....

HOW LIBERALISM WORKS: ignore logic and reasoning altogether and come up with the dumbest solution possible.
