[Bolton’s chief of staff Fred Fleitz is drawing fire for co-authoring (with 15 others) a report on Islamic radicalism in the US which claims that “80% of U.S. mosques were incubators for subversion or violence” and that the real war with Islam is “in reality a clash of civilizations.” (Whoulda thought?!)  But no one is drawing fire for spreading the blatant socialism now rampant across the land which is a demonstrated harbinger of totalitarian governance, examples of which have killed tens of millions in the 20th century and continue to do so today.  Go figger.  gjr]

    Your man just pardoned a convicted drug dealer who helped smuggle three TONS of cocaine into this country. I’m sure you will rationalize this as MAGA. Obama did the same thing (I didn’t approve) but nothing nearly on this scale. Did Trump do this for the black vote (he announced his ratings doubled among black men over night), a KK BJ, or was it a jab at Jeff Sessions. I’m inclined to believe it was a “gottcha” at Sessions.

    Looks like it is a commutation not a pardon. And it was for a woman Kim Kardashian lobbied Trump for. The felon was convicted of “trying” to obtain cocaine. At least he has not pardoned terrorists like Clinton and Obama have. Jerry Brown sends way worse to the streets all the time.

    Don’t start digging the graves yet, Bessee. Everybody knows that a higher percentage of conservatives vote in primaries than do liberals. All of the independents will be out in force in November as well. And if Newsom gets his wish and Trump comes to California to campaign, he will drive a lot of non-Republicans to the polls.

    Some light reading for “jon”boy.. How bout THIS?
    Barack Obama’s January 2017 commutation of the 55-year sentence of Puerto Rican terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera, one of the principal leaders of the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN).
    During the group’s heyday from 1974 to 1983, the FALN was responsible for more than 130 bombings across the United States, the deadliest of which was the 1975 Fraunces Tavern bombing in Manhattan that killed four people and wounded 63 more.
    But that was OK…. Got it….

    GB has it backwards, with Cox on the ballot the conservative vote has a reason to get out and everyone knows Newsome has little chance of loosing. When the ads start painting Newsome as he is a lot of the left will ignore him as another privileged white boy who gets away with everything they say they hate. Its the down ticket that will benefit from Cox making the cut. You know like congressional races in so cal! 😉

    “Alleged theft of congressional equipment, massive data breaches of Congress members’ emails, likely espionage and more are all wrapped up in this case that involves data from 40 or more Democratic members of Congress.
    Sources also say that investigators were particularly interested in whether anyone else in the congressional offices that all of these IT aides worked for was involved in alleged improper activity. This might include Rep. Wasserman Schultz, who was the Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair when she employed Awan. It might also include former Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., who employed Awan when Becerra was chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. Becerra is now California attorney general.
    “The House Office of Inspector General tracked the Awans network usage and found that a massive amount of data was flowing from the (congressional) networks,” said Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa. “Over 5,700 logins by the five Awan associates were discovered on a single server within the House, the server of the Democratic Caucus Chairman, then Rep. Xavier Becerra of California. Up to 40 or more members of Congress had all of their data moved out their office servers and onto the Becerra server without their knowledge or consent.”

    On a tactical note, I once again have to compliment Victor Davis Hanson for guessing the future of California tax policy…user fees. As the slow motion fiscal train wreck goes on, money will be raised by a never-ending batch of apparently logical fees.

    re BillT 1249pm – May I modestly remind readers that RR has been covering all of David Solway’s PJ Media points for the last 12 years in its Great Divide category of posts. What epiphanies people are belately having and breathlessly describing today have been with us for some years now. Only back then, few understood them, and most ascribed those of us who sounded the alarm as, well, alarmists. And many still do. The longer the Great Divide is put off the more violent it will be when it can no longer be put off.

    Agreed and credit is due. However, it don’t hurt to pound the drums, sound the alarms, and man the battle stations every so often to our eyes on the ball…lest we forget.
    I once read that Bob’s Dole’s secret to his legislative successes (and political skill) was to allow others to take credit for his ideas and solutions after he presented such ideas, information, and solutions to them. Modestly is a trait I find attractive and one that you possess.

    The Great Divide……….Who is “Juan’ Galt?
    “For months, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and party leaders have been touting their overall plan, called ‘A Better Deal,’ as a response to the ‘raw deal’ that they say President Trump and GOP-controlled Congress has pursued on Capitol Hill,” The Washington Times reports.
    Just like in Venezuela, that so-called Better Deal is nothing more than Marxist socialism repackaged. The same kind of better deal the Obama administration pursued for eight years — eight years in which his administration became the only one in history never to achieve a single year of 3% GDP growth, which progressive “experts” insisted would be the “new normal” of American economics.
    None of it matters to Democrats because their socialist fantasies are borne of pure hubris. They look at the wreckage in places like Venezuela and come to a singular conclusion:
    The wrong people were in charge.
    In short, the American Left wants a nation where talent, innovation and risk-taking is conflated with laziness, envy and confiscation. A nation where incentive and coercion are interchangeable terms. Even worse, they frame their agenda as “social justice,” and they couldn’t care less that it ultimately produces the kind of increasing misery Venezuelans are enduring on a daily basis — provided every American is equally miserable.
    Venezuela is collapsing and its best and brightest are fleeing. Americans would be wise to remember the essential difference between us and them: They have somewhere else to go.
