AMERICAN GREATNESS: the suicide of expertise.

Expertise did not die at the hands of deplorable Trumpkins or even web-surfing suburban moms. Expertise wasn’t killed; it has slowly committed suicide.

Expertise died for one very simple reason: the 'experts' were so certain of their own academy credentials they never bothered to look outside.

WE SHOULD BE SO LUCKY:

The Mallard Fillmore link is here.

CAN WE JUST START SHOOTING THEM? Man accused of shoving elderly NYC woman has been arrested over 100 times.

"REMEMBER, the people running our institutions place the approval of their peers above the welfare of the institutions they run. And their peers are a narrow, and frankly kind of crummy, group."

NOT EXACTLY CAMELOT: A fantasy implodes. Predictably.

HEH: Truck drivers refusing to deliver to cities with defunded police departments.

Cash upfront, guys. And by the way, tell them we don't deliver; pick-ups can be scheduled at your nearest fully-funded police station.

IRONY OVERLOAD: Seattle autonomous zone 'warlord' a homophobe.

JUST SAY 'NO': Cities call on cops to work 12-hour shifts with no days off to quell unrest, despite 'defund' rallying cry.

Make it "HELL, NO!"

WHAT A SURPRISE: The Washington Post lies.

BECAUSE 'AYRABS': Black woman pissed that she can't loot a cell phone store.

The video has been removed, but a shorter version is available here. (Warning -- very vulgar. Only a few words are not 4-letter.)

COMPETITION IS GOOD: Trump establishes manlier CHAD camp next to CHAZ camp.

May the best camp win (and it will).

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES is up. My favorite is this one, from the continuing (and continuing, and continuing...) cable advertising series, 'For the Meme.com':

Go see them all. They're great this week, especially the continuing 'future news' sequence, starting with the Asian murder hornets and ending with the schedule for the next six months.

BONUS: here's one more from last week.

Rusty certainly would, but (hopefully) only at my direction. [That's not Russ, just his spitting image.]

NOT SOON ENOUGH, NOT FAST ENOUGH, NOT HARD ENOUGH: It's Going Down, Antifa.

But it's just started....

CASH ONLY AND NO DELIVERY: 'CHAZ' anarchists tweet out for vegan food, guns, cigarettes, and Gatorade.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for June 12, 2020:

U.S. death rate is down again, below 0.1% to 0.0996%; the estimated number of uninfected Americans continues to decline, now at 64.490% (about 1/2 of a percent daily).

In Georgia, the uptick continues but remains well below peak levels.

Unless there are significant changes, I'm going to quit posting daily. I'll continue to track, but only post on Tuesdays and Fridays.

STACEY ABRAMS, don't hold your breath.

WHITE DEMOCRAT LEADERS take stand against white privilege by resigning from Congress.

Unfortunately, it's only the Babylon Bee.

MICHAEL RAMIREZ: Gone with their Minds.

SO HOW'S THAT TESTING GOING, BRO? Over 70 coronavirus testing sites were destroyed in the week's riots.

I would not be surprised if the illness spikes (and quite happy if it primarily takes down the wokesters).

‘LIKE INTERVIEWING A 12-YEAR-OLD.’ Brit Hume sums up AOC’s interview about defunding the police.

I think he overestimated her age....
