ANOTHER GREAT MOMENT in progressive insanity. Maybe it's just me, but my sense is that progressivism is hellbent on achieving the ultimate Darwin Award.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The new new normal.

Here's the Democrats' new normal:

... “Medicare for All,” wealth taxes, top income tax rates of 70 or 80 or 90 percent, a desire for a Supreme Court full of “wise Latinas” like Sonia Sotomayor, insidious curtailment of the First and Second Amendments, open borders, blanket amnesties, reparations, judges as progressive legislators, permissible infanticide, abolition of student debt, elimination of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau and the Electoral College, voting rights for 16-year-olds and felons, and free college tuition.

And now Trump's new new normal:

... free-market capitalism but within a framework of fair rather than unfettered international trade, a smaller administrative state, less taxation and regulation, constitutionalist judges, more gas and oil, record low unemployment, 3-4 percent economic growth, and pressure on colleges to honor the Bill of Rights.

I prefer the latter.

HERE'S A THOUGHT: Make the Democrat Party pay reparations for slavery.

MORE REASONS to make Democrats pay.

AMMO GRRRLL: It's come to this.

Yes, unfortunately, it has....

FINALLY: thoughts on toxic femininity.

DISMANTLING OBAMACARE: one executive order at a time.

Here's more.

KILL THEM: How to respond to the pirates of Iran.

BIG IDEAS AND LITTLE CANDIDATES: The big ideas are on the Right, the little candidates are on the Left.

KEEP IT UP, GUYS. California's pension fund faces crisis after shunning guns and tobacco. The more you shun, the more there is for me to buy.

And my personal pension fund (401K) is doing very well, thank you.

THE SANDERS MANIFESTO: Everything you wanted (or feared) to know about Bernie's Democratic Socialism. The gist - Socialists, Democratic or otherwise, think of the individual (you) as just another unit of production. No more, no less. As I've said time and time again, it's about control. It's always about control.

Watch the embedded video - if you can stand 45 minutes of Bernie.

More.

RANDOM THOUGHT: The progressive Left's 'moral high ground' is a sewer.

BRITISH POLICE propose fighting domestic violence by distributing less pointy knives.

No, this isn't from the Babylon Bee.

I'M TRIGGERED by 180.9 (kilo)calories.

WHY DO THE SELF-IDENTIFIED ‘DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS’ feel it’s OK to force those who’d rather be free into their collective? Like, say, ObamaCare? Or Bernie's Medicare for All?

ANSWER: Because they know what's best for you, whether you like it or not. And because it increases their opportunities for graft, corruption, and control. Most of all, control.

TAKE THE TOUR: You, too, can be a useful idiot.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE, you could be seated in an airplane's wings.

Window seats will be at a premium....

MANDATING GUN LOCKS can have unintended consequences.

Like making home invasions safer ... for the criminals.

LEFTISTS WILL BE LEFTISTS declaring their pet issues off limits for debate.

Why? Because shut up.

FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures, this view of the 2020 Democrat Presidential candidate frontrunners:

The 'B' Team: Biden, Bernie, Beth, and Buttigeig.

Now go see the rest of this week's cartoons.

KELLYANNE CONWAY and the Hatch Act.
