VIA INSTAPUNDIT: The Outrage Economy.

It's time, I think, for us to start paying attention and stop patronizing firms that attempt to commodify outrage. Hit 'em where it hurts - in the pocketbook.
ENOUGH GAMES, DEMOCRATS: The Left is having a hissy because President Trump suggested that the Squalid Squad might want return to their native lands, fix them, and then return to show us country bumpkins how to do it. What they don't want you to know is that they actually wanted to deport former Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka.

More here.
DONALD TRUMP TO NANCY PELOSI: Let me show you how to play hardball.
THE UNEXPECTED EFFECTIVENESS of President Donald Trump.

To screw up a metaphor, when you need to destroy a china shop you need a raging bull.
THE NEW YORK TIMES goes pro-Soviet for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
EVEN BEFORE APOLLO, the New York Times was anti-space.

THE NEW YORK TIMES still can't stand America's accomplishments in space. They forgot to mention that the Soviets also killed the first dog in space.

MORE NEW YORK TIMES IDIOCY: The Soviets won the 'diversity' space race.
The NYT has been anti-American for years. It may be headquartered in the U.S. but it is a globalist propaganda waste of newsprint.
SOME APOLLO HISTORY: Here are some original design schematics of the Apollo systems that got the astronauts to the moon and back.

Remember, these - and all of Apollo, for that matter - were done BC (before computers). There was no such thing as a personal computer prior to the mid-1980's.
THE APOLLO 11 LANDING:



Even though I knew the outcome, I was still holding my breath....

PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE? You won’t miss it.

Oh? Alexandria Ocasio-Cotez and those of her ilk seem to think that 'Medicare for All' will be the same as the Cadillac plan she has as a member of Congress. If only....
REPUBLICANS: Quit clutching your pearls and fight back!
IS BORIS JOHNSON WRONG to claim Islam set the Muslim world back?

No, he isn't. In fact, I advanced substantially the same claim, also in 2006, when I was preparing to deploy to Bagdhad as a civilian analyst.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ silent after Antifa terrorist echoes her concentration camps rhetoric on ICE centers.
KURT SCHLICHTER: The nightmare of an America ruled by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her socialist pals.
BUT SHE'S NOT AN ANTI-SEMITE: Ilhan Omar introduces anti-Israel resolution in the House of Representatives.

Hypocrisy, anyone?
RACISM isn't what it used to be.

Michael Ramirez noticed.
ILHAN OMAR HAPPENED because media chose to lie to you.

TRUMP WAS ‘BRILLIANT’ snookering Democrats into letting the Squalid Squad become their symbol. Follow all the links for the details.

Here's the thing that really ticks me off about the GOP establishment dopes (and their media lackeys: "[I]t’s kind of sad that some Republicans still can’t — or won’t? — sense it [Trump's Twitter savvy]". Trump is playing hardball and these GOPe dopes are still clutching their pearls and whining about his being 'mean'....
JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Trump’s attack on congresswomen was ‘racist'.

Bullshit. Via Instapundit:
“The idea that politicians may or may not be subject to criticism or disagreement depending on their skin color is so un-American, and so profoundly stupid, that it is hard to imagine that anyone could assert it. Yet we live in such degraded times that one-third of Democrats are willing to tell pollsters that is what they believe.”
Not just Democrats.

And I'm with Trump on this one. You don't 'turn the other cheek' to the bullies of the Squalid Squad, or any of the other Leftist bullies (Antifa, anyone?), you punch back. With words when you can, with physical force when you must. Bullies understand only one thing - pain.
MICHAEL RAMIREZ plays the race card.
COULD IT BE THAT HE DESERVED IT? Booker says he felt disrespected in a verbal tussle with Biden.

Translation: It's disrespectful to punch back at a person 'of color'.
CHICAGO MAYOR: Police 'are losing the streets' to major eruptions of violence.

Maybe the Mayor should quit interfering and let the Chicago police department do its job?
