    Let’s see here. Virginia Gov Terry McAuliffe is long time Dem operative, formet Clinton Afministration official, long time Friends of Bill and long time close personal friend of The Clintons and their long time bagman.
    Terry throws a fundraiser for an unknown female candidate with no chance of winning, Hillary pops in, shakes them down at the fundraiserand and just like that $650,000 is from Terry’s PAC to the lady’s campaign. The lady canidate who is barely known just happens to be the wife of the dude who oversees Hillary’s email criminal investigation. All goes through him before Comey sees it. He gives the FBI investigators the thumbs up or the thumbs down on all matters concerning subpoenas, where the FBI can snoop, what they can investigate, etc.
    What a coincidence.
    Follow the money. Somehow this does not surprise me in the least. What is it with these former DNC chairs? First Debbie Whatzername Sargent Shultz among others, and now this sleaze ball Gov. Terry. Does Hillary run with one single person who is not corrupt and a slime ball?
    Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    From this morning’s thread: Self mutilation in uniform
    Braying Jenny: “Republicans should be ashamed. Instead of protecting the men and women who risk their lives to defend our freedoms, they are fighting to rip away the health care of thousands of brave service members. This cowardly Republican amendment targeting transgender men and women in uniform effectively bans these patriotic Americans from serving their country.” —Nancy Pelosi on Republican opposition to taxpayer funded for sex change operations for soldiers
    From Russia with love:
    “It could just be a coincidence that the Obama administration let Natalia Veselnitskaya enter the United States to meet with Donald Trump, Jr. It could also be a coincidence that her client, Prevezon, hired Fusion GPS to help Russia at the same time Fusion GPS was compiling a dossier on Donald Trump claiming Trump was working with the Russians. And it could be a coincidence that the FBI considered hiring the man who helped Fusion GPS compile that dossier. It could all be a coincidence, or it could start to paint a new picture. The Russians could have been masterfully playing both sides so that whoever won, Russia came out on top. Mrs. Clinton, after all, claims she reset the relationship with Russia.” —Erick Erickson

    Poor little trumplet, PE? That’s your best shot?

    Mr. Dershowitz, however, said he doesn’t “see any crime at this point” in Mr. Trump Jr.’s behavior.
    “Even if the worst case scenario as far as we know now, is the Russians get in touch with Trump Jr. and say, ‘we have some dirt on Hillary Clinton, come we’ll give it to you’ and he goes and gets the information. That’s what the New York Times did with the Pentagon Papers, that’s what the Washington Post did and many other newspaper did with information with Snowden and Manning,” he told Newsmax Tuesday. “You are allowed legally to use material that was obtained illegally as long as you had nothing to do with the illegal nature of obtaining the information, so at the moment I see no legal jeopardy for Trump Jr.”

    There’s not even a hint this is connected to the Podesta/DNC email link and Wikileaks. Just a meeting that went 20 minutes that the Trump contingent couldn’t wait to be over because there wasn’t any dirt they could use.

    You leave the group think, they kick you out of the herd. Banished to the Wasteland. Nothing new. Same thing happened to Tammy Bruce, Camiliea Page, and other free thinking feminists writers (including my own sister) when they began to question, to liberate themselves from victimhood and began to empower themselves. In my sister’s case (many moons ago), she wanted to have a child, homeschool him/her, and be a stay at home mom, nurturing her child and mate of a dozen years, and go plant veggies and make a house a home.. She was told to have an abortion (do it for the sisterhood) and go back to her professional career in academia. Again, do it for the Sisterhood.
    When she asked another question or two, she was told “there is no place in the feminist movement for you.” She lost her teaching job at a CA State College (now they are all universities) immediately thereafter. Instantly. The course she taught was Feminist Literature. Go figure.
    You go, girl.

It was the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a civil liberties organization dedicated to defending Americans’ right to religious freedom. Hardly a “hate group.””

    Were you trying to identify “Camille Paglia”?
    I recall Limbaugh having a story early on that at a dinner he attended, the hosts sat him next to Paglia expecting fireworks. They got along fine, ended up smoking cigars…

    “In 1992, at the glittering 25th anniversary black-tie party for “60 Minutes” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I dined at a small table with Rush Limbaugh. He was a jovial, witty, commanding figure who offered me a cigar.
    “Now, I do not agree with Rush on most political issues — I voted for Ralph Nader! But Rush transformed the media landscape in America. He resurrected AM radio. From coast to coast, AM radio is buzzing and vibrant because of what Rush did. He is a master broadcaster, a master of the microphone. Anyone who is a true student of media should respect his achievements.”

    Yes, the so-called Progressive left tend to be very tribal and once you say something indicating you are Not of the Body… the IFF paints you as a foe. Paglia at least a few years ago self identified as a left Libertarian and a registered Dem. She can talk to Limbaugh with respect for his work without reaching out to strangle him which means she’s a closet conservative by the politically correct left.
    I also do not agree with Limbaugh on many political issues, but he tends to be spot on with his caricatured faults of Democrats

    Yes, Gregory. I got lazy. There are a host of better examples than Camille Paglia, who has many talents, best known for being a social critic, and lesser known for her passion for anthropology. Currently she is studying sites in a small region of PA, finding aboriginal Native American artifacts. Her conclusions of the smaller hand size of the former inhabitants of that region flies in the face of conventional wisdom and what is being taught in academia and published to this day, but I digress. Actually, I was thinking of some very articulate and insightful American, British, and Indian Feminist authors (now treated like the plague and banned from speaking on campuses like Milo) but….I got lazy.
    Camille was a good substitute that came to mind.
    Gregory, I read a recent interview of hers (not the link below) when she in her unambiguous fashion stated clearly that she is a libertarian at heart, but just can’t bring herself to change her long time Democrat Party registration for “sentimental reasons.”, FYI.
    From June, 2017
    “There seems to be a huge conceptual gap between Trump and his most implacable critics on the left. Many highly educated, upper-middle-class Democrats regard themselves as exemplars of “compassion” (which they have elevated into a supreme political principle) and yet they routinely assail Trump voters as ignorant, callous hate-mongers. These elite Democrats occupy an amorphous meta-realm of subjective emotion, theoretical abstractions, and refined language. But Trump is by trade a builder who deals in the tangible, obdurate, objective world of physical materials, geometry, and construction projects, where communication often reverts to the brusque, coarse, high-impact level of pre-modern working-class life, whose daily locus was the barnyard. It’s no accident that bourgeois Victorians of the industrial era tried to purge “barnyard language” out of English.”

After Trump did the seemingly impossible…..that thing “jon” said would never happen, could never happen….happened! “jon” stopped his pontifications here (although I suspect that a certain someone who presents himself as the therapist to a certain “B” movie star might be him in a different skin)!
    Anyway…..just a little follow up on another claim…..about how the importation of millions from a hostile and wholly incompatible culture was an unalloyed good for Europe!

    “The Bravalla Music Festival, held this year between June 28 and July 1, is Sweden’s largest annual music event. Or it used to be. After a reported 23 sexual assaults and four rapes, festival organizers decided to cancel next year’s event, citing that “Certain men… apparently cannot behave. This is not the first year that Bravalla has served as a breeding ground of sexual assault—five women were raped last year as well. Indeed, ticket sales have been declining for years, mostly due to concerns over the attacks. Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven chimed in, “This is so disgusting. These are obnoxious acts by deplorable men.”

    These are not deplorable men….these are muslim men!
    I wonder if we will ever so the likes of “jon” again….to see if he still feels like defending these claims?

    Nice interview of Paglia and choice of quotes. Here’s another:

    Liberalism of the 1950s and ’60s exalted civil liberties, individualism, and dissident thought and speech. “Question authority” was our generational rubric when I was in college. But today’s liberalism has become grotesquely mechanistic and authoritarian: It’s all about reducing individuals to a group identity, defining that group in permanent victim terms, and denying others their democratic right to challenge that group and its ideology. Political correctness represents the fossilized institutionalization of once-vital revolutionary ideas, which have become mere rote formulas. It is repressively Stalinist, dependent on a labyrinthine, parasitic bureaucracy to enforce its empty dictates.

    and

    It is certainly ironic how liberals who posture as defenders of science when it comes to global warming (a sentimental myth unsupported by evidence) flee all reference to biology when it comes to gender. Biology has been programmatically excluded from women’s studies and gender studies programs for almost 50 years now. Thus very few current gender studies professors and theorists, here and abroad, are intellectually or scientifically prepared to teach their subjects.
    The cold biological truth is that sex changes are impossible. Every single cell of the human body remains coded with one’s birth gender for life. Intersex ambiguities can occur, but they are developmental anomalies that represent a tiny proportion of all human births.
    In a democracy, everyone, no matter how nonconformist or eccentric, should be free from harassment and abuse. But at the same time, no one deserves special rights, protections, or privileges on the basis of their eccentricity. The categories “trans-man” and “trans-woman” are highly accurate and deserving of respect. But like Germaine Greer and Sheila Jeffreys, I reject state-sponsored coercion to call someone a “woman” or a “man” simply on the basis of his or her subjective feeling about it. We may well take the path of good will and defer to courtesy on such occasions, but it is our choice alone.
