Farmers’ markets called racist: ‘Habits of white people are normalized,’ professors claim

So last week, two professors told us that behaving equally nicely to people of differing races was actually a form of racism. This week, two different university professors now deem that the good old fashioned Farmer's Market is racist. Remember kids, if EVERYTHING is racist, then nothing is. Racism is still a problem in this country, but when you've called anything from milk (Mother Jones, 2016) to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (HuffPo, 2012), it is very easy for people to simply dismiss any legitimate claim of racism as leftists being insane again. Here's a unique idea about what could be considered racist: educated white liberals believing that minorities can't stand up for themselves and don't recognize racism when they see it...

Christians in Mosul celebrate Christmas for the first time in four years

A few days before Christmas, CNN ran an in-depth story on a new children's book about a gay black Santa. For over FOUR MINUTES they droned on and on about it, heaping praise on the author who basically admitted that he wrote it to troll adults, not inspire children. Now in truth, the last couple days for me have been tied up with seeing family and watching Ralphie shoot his eye out, but I'm going out on a limb here and saying that I'm doubting CNN has bothered to cover this significant story. No mention of it on CNN's home page, and the front of their "World" section has a lead story with the headline "Topless protester tries to grab baby Jesus figure at Vatican". You be the judge as to which is the larger story...

Senate GOP

I normally give the media a hard time, because they deserve it, but kudos to them here for actually painting a more fair picture. What's curious, though, is how suprised everyone reacts. They were SURE that their taxes were going up. I can't blame them, really. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer and countless other Democrats had been lying to them for months about what the Republicans were actually trying to do. Now, this might not change anyone's vote to Republican, maybe they'll be a little more skeptical of what the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) tries to sell them in the future...

Analysis from Liberal Tax Policy Center: Actually, EIGHTY PERCENT of Americans Get a Tax Cut Under the GOP Plan

"Bottom 80% currently pays 33% of all federal income taxes, but gets 35% of the tax cuts. Top 1% currently pays 27% of all federal taxes, but gets 21% of the tax cuts. So the share of all federal taxes paid by wealthy will rise." It is a quote that should mean nothing to the left, except that it comes from their side. The Tax Policy Center is a joint venture between the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute. The latter of which was founded by mister Great Society himself, LBJ. Now I'm not going to sit here and tell you what's going to happen based on a bill that I've neither read nor care to read. What I WILL tell you is how the media will spin it. Negatively.

Her story: That she broke her toe wearing high heels and walking downstairs while holding a cup of coffee. Have you ever known Hillary Clinton to wear high heels? Initially a spokesperson said that she "twisted her ankle", Clinton herself later said that she broke her toe, but it seems as though she actually broke her metatarsal, which is a part of the foot and not the toe. This from the woman who was first "exhausted", then "dehydrated" before a video was released showing her collapsing in the street last fall, after which she was finally revealed to have "pneumonia".

This is not Breitbart, this is not Alex Jones, this is not Fox News. This is The Hill. If we keep seeing these acts of accidental journalism, I might have to think about dropping my "media bias" angle. But either way, I'm suddenly VERY interested in Russia again...

Lawrence Lessig lays out how Hillary Clinton could end up in the Oval Office

My goodness, we're still doing this after nearly a year?!? This sounds a lot like the third stage of grief ("Bargaining") if you ask me, but I'm no psychiatrist. Heaven knows it's not "Acceptance"!! Why even write this article at all if, as the author says, it would be "the most extraordinary event in the history of America since the Confederate Army fired on Fort Sumter"? Catharsis for the author, perhaps, but maybe at some point people want to take a look at why the current occupant of the White House consumes so much of their attention and focus? I can't imagine that it's at all healthy. Sure, there were plenty of right-wing loons who thought Obama was never legitimate and should have been removed from office. But they were mostly fringe kooks who were blogging out of their parents' basement. They were not Harvard University professors, is my point...

Explaining Colin Kaepernick's Collusion Grievance Against The NFL

Explaining? This really needs to be explained? The guy doesn't want to play football, he wants to be an activist!! And his hiring of celebrity attorney Mark Geragos for this exercise in futility pretty much underlines, bolds, and italicizes that point. And it's the easiest case in the world for the owners to make, but winning this grievance isn't Kaepernick's intent. Because his standing as an activist only rises if the 31 white men (and Shahid Khan) defeat him in court. And I can't so much blame the guy. After all, if I already had millions of dollars to my name, I'd much prefer to bask in acclaim rather than having Fletcher Cox or Von Miller knock me into the stone age week after week...

Librarian faces backlash for rejecting book donation from Melania Trump

The problem with taking a public stance such as the one this librarian takes is that this is 2017, and there are photos of everything, including ones of this very same librarian dressed as the Cat in the Hat, which she surely didn't see as a racist symbol until Hillary was denied the White House....

Looking at this one way, he's no different than Kaepernick; he treated the anthem in a way wholly different than that of his team, and made it all about him. He made the team look bad, he made the coach look bad, and he made the team look bad. That being said, the Steelers DESERVE to be cast in a bad light for asking an army veteran to not stand for the anthem. As much as I applaud his decision and his bravery, I'm pretty sure that the Steelers locker room (and 31 others, likely) are going to be torn apart over this. Fifty-three men on every NFL team, it's inevitable that some on each will have a family member either in the armed forces or in law enforcement. You don't think those players are conflicted right now? As much as it pains me to say, the Cowboys got it right last night. Take the field and lock arms with the owner and his family and kneel, because it's important to some of the players, and then stand when the national anthem begins, because it's important to the owner. And do it all as a team. That's leadership, and it took the cosmetically-enhanced Jerry Jones to provide an answer that satisfies both sides...

There are two obvious reasons one might have to request that they be de-registered to vote: - If one moves away - If one dies, in which case someone else is likely doing the de-registering The only other reason that I can think of for de-registering is if one shouldn't actually be registered in the first place. I'm stumped as to any other rational reason. Because Name, Year of Birth, Party, and Voting History (whether or not one voted, not for whom) is pretty benign information, if you ask me. And it's just that information. No Social Security number is being provided, no date of birth, no legal status, no mailing address. So the fact that there is a serious uptick in the number of people asking to be de-registered in light of this perceived threat tells me something. And the fact that the left is (predictably) up in arms about it tells me even more. If there's no fire, it's sure hard to tell through all this smoke, is all I'm saying... #nomorevacation

Corrections: June 29, 2017

Hell, this fake news was so pervasive, it was regularly quoted by Hillary Clinton in the debates!! Now in the interest of fairness, an assessment from ONE agency is too many. All the same... "A White House Memo article on Monday about President Trump’s deflections and denials about Russia referred incorrectly to the source of an intelligence assessment that said Russia orchestrated hacking attacks during last year’s presidential election. The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community." #iwillstopobsessingwhentherestofyoudo #failingNewYorkTimes

Court rules hospital can withdraw life support for sick baby

Among the more ironic (and tragic) stories that will hit the news this year: Family wants to come to the US for (possibly) life-saving healthcare, because they can't get it at home where it's "free". Trump would win re-election today if he were to send a private plane to the UK, bring the kid and parents to Mar a Largo to receive treatment, and spare Theresa May a tremendous headache. But I get that it would set a precedent, and thus it probably won't happen. This child's plight would normally be something that our leftists friends would be shouting about from the rooftops, but then that would mean siding against socialized medicine and single payer. And since we can't have that, they're largely silent. Some might criticize me for politicizing the predicament of a ten-month old. But this is a news story entirely because of politics. I can't imagine a world where it's illegal to leave to seek treatment. What, have they suddenly become North Korea over in Britain?!?!

UW study finds Seattle’s minimum wage is costing jobs

This is a local government issue, not a federal one, so I'm not as upset about this as one might think. But a couple points here: 1) Minimum wage has the ability to hurt, as this study clearly shows, so don't believe progressives who tell you otherwise 2) The minimum wage hasn't even reached $15.00 per hour yet (it won't get there until 2021), so imagine the carnage when it does finally get there 3) Good luck ever getting the minimum wage LOWERED once it's been raised That last point is probably the most important. It's never going away in Seattle or anywhere else it's been voted in. This same principle is why Democrats are able to give away "free stuff" so readily. It may hurt them at the polls in the short tem, but they know that eventually the mean old Republicans will come in and try to take it away. And because they're Republicans, they trip over themselves and fall down, lose at the polls, the Democrats give away MORE free stuff, and the next thing you know we're trillions in debt...

Kennedy retirement watch at a fever pitch

He's the longest-tenured justice, and he's the only moderate remaining. He's inconsistently conservative, but replacing him with someone more solidly so will be an improvement, however slight. But perhaps the biggest benefit here is to have confirmation hearings for his successor, and listen to the Democrat senators from Montana, Indiana, West Virginia, North Dakota, and Missouri hem and haw about their vote knowing that they are running for re-election next year in states that Trump won bigly. So Trump actually comes at this with more than 52 votes already in hand for no matter who he nominates. The nuclear option was already used once, and it will be used again, and that's just how we operate nowadays.

So they might as well call Lynch to testify so that she can plead the fifth for a few hours. While we're at it, let's call Eric Holder to testify in a Fast and Furious investigation.

Montana has a Democrat Senator, and just re-elected their Democrat Governor last fall (when Trump was winning the state by 20 points). So it's not like the Democrats CAN'T win there.

I'm dreadfully tired of hearing about or talking about the e-mails, but they just keep coming up. Now it seems that the honorable Jim Comey was duped by Russia into letting Clinton off the hook back in July. If Russia was hacking the election, I'd say they did a pretty poor job of it. Why, if I didn't know any better I'd swear that they actually wanted HER to win, not him!! I mean, she won the popular vote and all, right? Surely the Russians don't have better knowledge on how our electoral college system works than the Democrats, right?

Mark Zuckerberg calls for exploring basic income in Harvard commencement speech

The guy who would rather hire H1B workers than Americans because it's cheaper is now lecturing us all about a Universal Income. And he is doing this without a trace of irony.

Opinion | Now Montana Knows Why Early Voting Is Bad

Democrats love the early voting. Always have. Can't get enough of it. The earlier, the better!! They'd have everyone voting in September, if it was allowed!! So it is with great glee that I read of the results from Montana's special election yesterday. The Republican candidate, who got a little rough with a reporter earlier this week, wins comfortably because two thirds of Montanans had already cast their ballot. I now wait with great anticipation to hear all of the liberal condemnations of early voting, much like I heard in the wake of Trump winning the electoral college vote. Because early voting is stupid, and yesterday is why. The end.

Appeals court upholds block on Trump's travel ban

Don't let the 10-3 ruling by the Fourth Circuit fool you; Obama appointed six of these judges, and Clinton another four. Now the only question that remains is how Anthony Kennedy feels on the matter. And just like that, America realizes why so many people voted for Trump despite their misgivings; with another four years of liberal/progressive judicial appointees, the law could end up meaning whatever the DNC feels like it means that day!!

Poll: 55% of Democrats think it's probably or definitely true that Russia tampered with vote totals to get Trump elected - Hot Air

Despite repeated denials from Barack Obama, James Clapper, and the now-sainted James Comey, Democrats polled are actually more likely now to believe that Russia tampered with the ACTUAL VOTE TOTALS than they were in December. We're officially in "Republicans who believe Obama was born in Kenya" territory here; a preposterous notion that is actually believed by an uncomfortable number of people....

Bernie backers rage over Calif. Democratic Party chair race

If you remember last week, I noted that there is a pending lawsuit against the DNC for failing to pay minimum wage and overtime for field workers during the 2016 campaign. So today comes this piece of deliciousness regarding, well, let's just take it from the article, shall we? "Ellis, the former director of Emerge America, a women’s political organization, lost the election by a narrow margin of 62 votes out of 3,000 cast. Her loss immediately set off protests from hundreds of her backers, many of whom charged that there were irregularities that included allowing voters to cast proxy ballots WITHOUT PROPER ID."

The Flightin' Irish: Dozens of Notre Dame students walked out when Mike Pence took the stage

Yes, this is sure to win back Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania; let's have a bunch of privileged college students walk out of a ceremony simply because of who is speaking. Because nothing says "I'm here to listen" quite like taking your ball and going home, and making a show of it all the while. I wonder if any of these super smart kids have any idea just how foolish they look to 90% of the country because of this. But hey, why should that matter when your check-in from the "resistance" got a thousand like and hundreds of re-tweets, amirite??

CNN Faces Growing Racial Discrimination Lawsuit

Fox News gets into legal hot water, and you can't escape that News because it's broadcasted everywhere. Nonstop. But in order to link to a story that chronicles the trouble at CNN, which has far more plaintiffs, and I have to go to the Hollywood freaking Reporter. So when I say there's a media bias...

Tips For Washington Post Trump Articles Based On Anonymous Leaks

If you think you've heard the term "unnamed sources" a lot lately, you're simply noticing the obvious. Everyone has a story these days, but nobody seems to want to put their name behind it. And news outlets are all too happy to run with a story if it sounds interesting enough. In an era where numerous TV shows have seen their ratings improve when they took an anti-Trump stance, why should we believe that news outlets, whose primary job is to sell newspapers or mouse clicks, wouldn't also be motivated by the possibility of bigger numbers? Is it at all worth mentioning that the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos? Look up his political affiliations and tell me with a straight face that there isn't a problem. From my personal experience, many news stories in the past few months have turned out to be just that: stories. This is why nobody of certain political persuasions trusts the media anymore.

People are marrying themselves, it's called 'sologamy'

Part of me wants to make a crack at how self-absorbed we've all become in such a short amount of time. But this story sounds like it's more sad than anything else, and perhaps a little troubling too. We're somehow so isolated despite being constantly plugged into everyone in our lives. Strange times....

NY public college’s choice of Linda Sarsour as commencement speaker decried

This is not a post condemning Linda Sarsour. It's also not a post condemning her controversial comments regarding Ayan Hirsi-Ali (hint: it's at least as bad as Trump's infamous quote, and it pertains to the same body part). No, this post is merely an observation that CUNY (and Dartmouth, where she's also scheduled to speak) will not have to hire extra security for her speech, and will not attempt to move it to an out of the way location. Her speech will go on. Because in an era where college speakers frequently are either rescheduled to off-peak hours, canceled, or shut down before they can even speak, Sarsour will not have to worry about that. No, this post is about how the extremists on one side of the political debate in this country have impulse control, and the other side's extremists don't. There will be no broken windows or fires set or people sent to the hospital as a result of Sarsour's address. Because the right knows how to behave, and the left doesn't. Remember that the next time someone lectures you about the "tone" of political debate these days...

Rep. Maxine Waters' confusing interview on James Comey's firing throws MSNBC host for a loop

After toiling largely in obscurity for decades, Maxine Waters has become the face of the Democratic party in recent months. This is indeed improbable, until you realize how few elected Democrats there are these days; it's pretty much down to the House members who represent the big cities, who are so safe in their districts that they can be as loony as Waters is here and pay absolutely no political price. Of all the flip-flopping that I've seen over the past two days, this episode stands head and shoulders above the rest as the most entertaining!!!
