POWERLINE on 'spinning' the Supreme Court.

JEFF JACOBY: Why not an independent Kurdistan?

A POSSIBLE END TO GOVERNMENT UNIONS? Supreme Court agrees to review forced unionization for public employees.

[P]ublic sector unions ... provide the lion’s share of the Democrats’ funding. They take money involuntarily from their members, a large majority of whom have never even voted on whether to be represented by a union, and many of whom disapprove of the union’s agenda, and recycle that money into left-wing causes, Democratic Party candidates, and inflated salaries for countless union officials. The entire system is the number one form of corruption in American public life.

If repealed, it would devastate the public sector unions, which should have never been permitted in the first place.

A BITTER AND PATHETIC HILLARY CLINTON peddles fake news about Trump and Puerto Rico.

PUERTO RICAN CEO DISAGREES: It's the local government that's failing. Particularly this mayor.

INSTAPUNDIT: "The worst side effect of the civil rights era is the attitude of moral superiority toward ordinary Americans that it inspired in the political class."

BAD 'SCIENCE' FICTION: at the Huffington Post. It's Barbra Streisand; little wonder it's bad....

NORMAL AMERICANS TO GOPe: Hear us now, or hear us later (in 2018).

BAD: Republican candidate applies 'religious' test to Democrat congressman.

GOOD: Democrat senators apply 'religious' test to federal judicial candidate.

Can you smell the stink of hypocrisy?

ANTHONY WEINER: no longer a Democrat. Just a prick.

Heh.

THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING and the attack of the carrion crows. Among them:

(now former) CBS Vice President Hayley Geftman-Gold;

ABC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Terry Moron Moran;

failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton;

and a bevy of other Democrats.

Not even 12 hours has passed since the murders.

COMMENT OF THE DAY: "You can't fix STUPID. And Democrats excel at it."

Taken from this PowerLine post.

THE IDIOTS' GUIDE to censorship.

TAYA KYLE: an open letter to the NFL.

TECHNOLOGY: Who'd've thunk it? Software can be biased.

NOTE TO CNN: It's about lives and property, stupid.

This elitist reporter, whose own home and livelihood were secure thousands of miles away, was telling real storm victims that he doesn’t “give a damn” about the loss of their property?

That's what virtue signalling is all about....

TURNING PURPLE, COUNTY BY COUNTY: the elephant in the blue room.

MARRIED COUPLES WITH CHILDREN AND JOBS: the causes of income inequality.

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE: the Left's national nervous breakdown, and how to exploit it ruthlessly.

To overuse Bugs Bunny's quote: "What a bunch of maroons."

MORE ON PUERTO RICO: The problem is distribution. And leadership.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES, no kneeling edition. My favorite:

Go see the rest.
