NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE DRAWER, but bonus points for honesty.

Somehow I don't think the Canadians will want to extradite him....
RANDOM THOUGHT: Is there a vaccine to prevent progressivism yet?
RED STATE: The dangerous cost of safety.
POWERLINE: Has our Orwellian nightmare come true?

Maybe, maybe not. I suspect the poll respondents mostly come from the ranks of those employed in politically sensitive ('woke') environments -- media, Hollywood, government, education, big business -- all busily virtue-signaling each other.

But non-woke America -- small businesses, truckers, farmers, the retired, etc. -- is a much larger America, and by and large, they're really getting pissed off.
LOOTING -- YOU CAN'T SAY THAT: Say revolutionary mass-goods redistribution agents instead.

Thank your resident progressives.
THEY WOULDN'T GIVE HIM A LUNCH BREAK so he ate their lunches.

Note: by the time this posts there will be close to 5,000(!) comments, 95% or so critical of Nadler and the Democrats....
IT'S GOOD to be a blue-state governor.
FROM AMERICA'S NEWS OF RECORD: Froot Loops changes its name to the more politically correct LGBTQ+ Loops.
THIS BOOK reminds me of Attorney General Barr and (about half of) the House Judiciary committee.

I'll leave it up to you to guess which half....

THESE PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID THAT COMPARED TO THEM, MORONS ARE GENIUSES. Portland hits feds with $500 fine every 15 minutes fence stands outside besieged courthouse.
GET WOKE, and (with a little help from real America) go broke.
I'M A BIT LATE (AGAIN) with PowerLine's Week in Pictures. There are many, many good ones, but the Democrats' tax strategy is a favorite.


Now go see them all.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR had fun with Democrats at the Judiciary committee hearing today.
WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for July 28, 2020:


Daily deaths remain high and relatively stable; and I have suspicions that the data is being manipulated (again). The data shown above is just over 1,000 death today; my other (backup) source is showing nearly twice that. Since both (theoretically) use the same state sources, something clearly isn't right. (The cumulative counts also differ by nearly 10,000).

My estimate of the number of uninfected Americans and daily death rate continue to decline, now at 24.652% and 0.0611% respectively.

In Georgia, the number of confirmed cases and daily deaths remain high, but appear to be stabilizing. Georgia remains open.
CAN THE PRESIDENT really delete illegal immigrants from the Census count?

Based on today's House Judiciary hearing (chaired by lead moron Jerrold Nadler), Attorney General Barr seems to think so -- and he credits Congress for giving the Trump administration the power to do so.
WHY THE CURRENT CULTURAL REVOLUTION isn't like the '60s.
A half-century after the earlier revolution, today’s cultural revolution is vastly different — and far more dangerous.

Government and debt have grown. Social activism is already institutionalized in hundreds of newer federal programs. The “Great Society” inaugurated a multitrillion-dollar investment in the welfare state. Divorce rates soared. The nuclear family waned. Immigration, both legal and illegal, skyrocketed.

Thus, America is far less resilient, and a far more divided, indebted and vulnerable target than it was in 1965.
Read it all - it's Victor Davis Hanson.

THIS COULD GET INTERESTING: Police won't work at Democratic National Convention because of new restrictions.

It's that pesky double-edged sword thingy. Again.
SHE'S HALF RIGHT: Former Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner compares voting for Biden to eating half a bowl of shit.
