IF LIBERALS DIDN’T HAVE DOUBLE-STANDARDS. . . Two items out the last few days deserve a bigger horselaugh than usual.

EIGHTEEN RIDICULOUS BIAS COMPLAINTS filed on college campuses.

Proof that nuthouses mental institutions are back; we just call them colleges.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Our governing class, both Left and Right, are less and less American and more and more globalist.

Here's an example.

MORE APOLLO 11 MOONBATTERY FROM THE NATION. "Armstrong's 'giant leap for mankind' helped perpetuate inequality...."

This whole article is so incredibly stupid that it must have been written by some 20-something Gen Z 'journalist' who was taught that history started with his birth. Don't waste your time reading it.

N.B. I was right about the author, a JD/PhD candidate at Columbia Law School/Princeton University. The article is a flaming wreck at the corner of Reality and Intersectionality.

SOUTH BEND COPS WARN OF ‘MASS EXODUS’ as morale tanks over Buttigieg handling of shooting.

And this guy thinks he's qualified to be President of the United States?

OF TWEETS AND HYSTERICS: It's time for the GOPe(stablishment) dopes to quit clutching their pearls and start connecting with their voters.

Or in some soon-to-come election they will no longer be the establishment. We put you there; we can take you out - and the latter is becoming more and more tempting every day.

CURING RACISM: I hope he's right.

ISN'T THAT EXACTLY WHAT THE RIGHT HAS BEEN SAYING WOULD HAPPEN? Sanders says he’ll cut staffers’ hours to maintain $15-an-hour wage.

BUT OF COURSE: Least masculine society in human history decides masculinity is a growing threat.

It purports to be satire. I'm not so sure....

SHE'S SELF-DIAGNOSING HER OWN MENTAL STATE: Yale (?!) psychiatrist claims Trump's racism is a coping mechanism for his deteriorating mental state.

TRANS BACKLASH: Lesbian veteran asks Elizabeth Warren to 'stop with the pronoun silliness'.

But a panderer's gotta pander ... it's what they do.

ARMED AND DANGEROUS: Gramscian warfare.

THOSE WHO ARE NO LONGER OUR COUNTRYMEN:

[C]ertain people, politicians, media, intellectual and entertainment figures of note, or even the establishments they work for – are no longer our countrymen. In fact, those certain people and their establishments deeply despise us ordinary, moderately-conservative, content and hard-working middle class citizens. They hate us, indeed – with a passion that convulses their souls, and drips in their every word like corrosive acid. They hate that we are individual, un-biddable, independent and proud. They hate it even more ferociously that we are not humble in the manner of the 19th century lower class Europeans in the face of nobles and bureaucrats, and they despise everything that we honor and relish, from church membership, to where we choose to shop, to adorn our homes and what we do for hobbies. They hate it that we have the franchise and exercise it, too – and even assume that it is our right and duty to be politically-involved; most recently with movements like the Tea Party. (Which, inter alia, shook and is still shaking the current ruling class down to its bones – hence the viciousness of the reaction to it, from the media, to popular entertainment and to the long-established political parties.) Most of all, I think – they despise us for not giving a damn what they think particularly, and rejecting practically everything that they tell us to do – ride public transportation, move into urban stack-a-prole housing, give up eating meat (or much of anything else), and continuing to believe that we can raise our own children and sort out our own lives without self-elected nannies breathing down our necks 24-7. Very likely the well-manicured and delicate hands of the new ruling class itch for a whip to give us all a good thrashing for our temerity. Indeed – they are no longer our countrymen in spirit, any more than the Tory sympathizers who departed the American colonies two hundred years and more ago are.

The most galling quality of the TWANLOC ruling class is how they constantly preen themselves on being so cultured, so tolerant, intellectual, competent and so very, very non-racist … unlike the ordinary rest of us; the veteran, the blue-collar working stiff, the stay-at-home-mom, the cashier working at the local grocery store, the owners of companies large and small. Alas, nine out of ten, the TWANLOC ruling class is not particularly cultured, tolerant or intellectual. Nine out of ten, the most vicious bigotries and stereotypes drop from their lips and into their narratives … and yet they remain blissfully unaware of their own faults and shortcomings.

For those of you who want to dump on us 'Trumpkins' for this, it was written in 2014 - two years before Donald J. Trump became president.

MORE HATE SPEECH FROM THE DEMOCRATS: Don’t run away from Trump — ‘Punch him in the face.’

I wonder what Sen. Tester [D-MT] would say if someone from the Right threatened to 'punch him in the face'. I doubt it would be civil.

RHETORIC IS ONLY DANGEROUS when it comes from the Right, because the Left is afraid it will inspire people on the right to act like leftists.

THE TIME IS COMING:

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." - H.L. Mencken

A reminder for Democratic Socialists.

LIBERALS: If you can't punch a Nazi shove a priest.

LIBERALS TWEET: "White people love dogs because they miss owning slaves."

I'm reminded of that old aphorism that dogs have masters; cats have staff (slaves?).

So ... Black people love cats because they miss being slaves.

DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO: Bernie Sanders isn't paying staffers the $15 minimum wage he champions.

Translation: rules are for other people....

THERE ARE MANY GOOD ONES in this Mod Squad Edition of PowerLine's Week in Pictures, but this one has to take the favorite spot:

Now go see the rest, especially the Twitter ones.
