MORE CLINTON EMAIL HYPOCRISY: Clinton IT aide who defied subpoena says he created a cryptic gmail account and sent it nearly all of Hillary’s emails.

I'm sure they exist somewhere. Maybe President Trump could get them as part of the China trade deal....
THE NEW YORK TIMES: If history won't cooperate with our narrative, we'll rewrite it (history, that is).

Will the 'dustbin of history' be kind to the Times? I doubt it.
CRICKETS: What you hear when you ask rich pro-taxers to volunteer to pay more.

Listening, Bernie? Liz? Kamala?

ADDED: President Trump donates his entire salary as President to charity.
I DIDN'T KNOW HARRY REID WAS A REPUBLICAN: Harry Reid rips Dems over 'Medicare-for-all,' border policies.

Life's not as nice when others get to tell you what to do, is it Harry?

KURT SCHLICHTER: Ignorant Liberals need to go visit America.

They did, but were afraid to get out of their car.
CIVILITY WATCH. I hope Ed Driscoll makes this a continuing item at Instalpundit.
JUSTICE DONE RIGHT: Brazil police sniper kills armed man holding dozens hostage on bus in Rio de Janeiro.
DO GOVERNMENTS have a duty to reduce racial gaps? No, they have a desire ... for control.
HARVARD CLIMATE LOON: Keto dieters are killing the planet because bacon and butter.

Or something.
KAMALA HARRIS: Too ignorant to be president.

And a liar to boot....
GUESS WHO? They lie. Consistently, every day.

Thankfully they are both behind paywalls so most normal Americans (you and me) can go about our lives without being assaulted by the stench.
HE'S ONE HELLUVA GRANDMASTER AT TROLLING LIBERALS: Trump tweets promise not to build 'Trump' properties in Greenland.

IT'S HARD TO TALK ABOUT THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN: Two years after losing an anti-gun lawsuit, University of Texas professors won't talk about campus carry.
CALIFORNIA CRAZY. At the presidential candidate level:
Kamala Harris' poorly thought out gun control proposals.

Kamala Harris' hypocrisy on guns.
And at the state level:
An utterly insane 'ammunition law'.
Maybe we should just forget about reopening insane asylums and just give the crazies one-way bus tickets to California....
YEAH, RIGHT: You should totally trust our elite institutions.
JULY 2019: claimed to be the hottest July ever.

Read the comments, which are decidedly against the 'hottest month ever' claim. Note that the claimers are the climate-change 'experts' who spend their time in air-conditioned ivory towers; the naysayers are you's and me's who actually spend their time outdoors in the 'climate'.
'LOST' ANGELES: How liberal policies helped turn a homeless problem into a full-blown crisis. From the comments:
I have personally seen this mess grow for years. Yes, there are some mentally disabled, but the majority of the homeless are not, and believe it or not, they are homeless because they want to be. Go offer one of them a job and see what the response is. They are with like-type people who share their love of drug addiction. This problem will never be solved in Los Angeles or anywhere else as long as the homeless continue to get free money, food, tents, and needles. Stop rewarding those who are not able to display personal responsibility. Take those who have mental problems and drug addiction and civilly commit them to institutions. Build more mental institutions, not housing units because the majority of the homeless want to be on the street, not in a housing unit. Quit being political and become practical...
More reason to permit - even encourage - involuntary committment to mental health facilities.
INCONVENIENT FACTS: Mass shootings aren't becoming more common – and evidence contradicts stereotypes about the shooters.

Of the four inconvenient facts, three strike me as fairly clearly myths; the other - mental health - is, to me, not a myth. It strikes me as obvious that all mass shooters are nuts; but equally obvious that not all nuts are mass shooters. The problem is how to distinguish the former from the latter.

I think President Trump has roughly the correct idea, which is to use the 'gun control' hysteria to address the root causes (largely mental illness, in my opinion) more generally.

And that includes reopening mental hospitals (formerly insane asylums) and encouraging involuntary committment under judicial supervision.
WORDS TO REMEMBER:
Never underestimate anyone who is unbound by reality or standards of decency. That’s not only Tlaib and Omar, but every Democrat and nearly the entire media.
Taken from this post about two of our Congressional guttersnipes.
SO TELL ME AGAIN which party is racist.
