   You never get a second chance to make a first impression..
   Must confess, I did love the timing of the first dump. Surprise, surprise. Nancy walks right into the fireworks. What a way to start a National Convention…with love and unity. And nary a word about it in the article. Can’t keep that one a secret.
   Probably just about the time CNN and ABC and the popinjays were screaming at the screen, “Don’t read them! It’s against the law to read them! Don’t download them. Illegal, don’t do it! Do Not read them.”
   Boy, that sent us all racing to read them. Loved it when Trump referenced them. Sweet. They are still pissed at that one. Smoked them bastards out. Let’s do it again!
   “With two of her grandchildren at her side, Pelosi said she’d met with plenty of Sanders supporters who were pleased that their demands had been accommodated in the platform.
   Others, she implied, don’t realize how well they had it.”

   I heard someone say once something to the effect…….”every socialist, every would be commissar imagines themselves sitting atop a pile of human skulls……humanity is now perfect”.
   

   “If they’ll ice a kid for not having the right grin, they’ll waste you or me in a heartbeat. Murder is, after all, how leftists roll. The USSR, Red China, Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba – that cadaver-strewn litany teaches what’s lurking at the bottom of the slope we’re sliding down. The Dems are spooning with socialism, and the goal of socialism is written in blood on the pages of history. The unapproved must be liquidated, and they are making no secret that you are unapproved. Understand that and accept it.”

   …..and if I had been reading a bit more carefully I would have seen what Don offered upthread.
   

   “The Atlantic’s Dick Polman believes the Democrat Party needs a “new massacre” to make gun control “a first-tier story.”
   On January 27, 2019, Polman, an Atlantic contributor, noted that the Democrats took control of the House with plans to push gun control. And less than a week after taking control, they followed through by introducing a bill to criminalize private gun sales.
   But Polman notes that the gun control bill did not garner major airplay in the establishment media, leading him to suggest a “new massacre” will be key in getting the push more attention. He wrote: “The Democrats’ championing of gun reform is not currently a first-tier story, but a new massacre would likely make it so.”

   Wonder if Dick is ready to take one for the team…..post on line where his children (assuming he has any) attend school. C’mon Dick…the “Personal is Political”…..time for you to earn your stripes!

    I agree with an earlier link today. Maybe we shouldn’t walk away from the Covington story or sweep it under the carpet just yet….
    America has reached an inflection point. In a nation built on individual liberty and God-given rights, leftists have decided they should be the sole arbiters of what is or isn’t acceptable in modern society. With relentless help from the rank propagandists who have killed journalism, they have determined that anything that doesn’t comport with progressive dogma is not only wrong, but evil. Evil that can be completely dismissed at best — or eliminated, possibly violently, at worst. The current focus of their unrestrained rage is a red baseball cap with Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” printed on the front.
    Who’s hurting whom? In addition to Joseph, a quick search using the words “people attacked for wearing MAGA hats” yields a number of equally contemptible instances of people being harassed or assaulted, including a trans activist assaulted in Hollywood, a Brooklyn man attacked with a broken bottle in a Manhattan bar, a Texas teen assaulted at a Whataburger in San Antonio, and an Arizona man who had his ankle broken in a Tucson encounter…….
    Sadly, nothing is new here. The collective demonization that inexorably reduces groups of people to sub-human status enabled the guillotines of the French Revolution, the gas chambers of the Nazis, and the gulags, torture chambers, and mass starvation and mass executions that took place in the Soviet Union and Communist China.
    For far too many leftists, the MAGA hat provides a springboard for rationalizing similar sub-humanization.

    Ironically, the children bought their Mega hats at a vendor after the March as they were heading over to the meeting place to lad up and take a hat 10 hour bus ride home…..ah, it makes no matter when or where they bought those MEGA hats. The crime is they had those hats and wore them in public.

    I read this BEFOE Howard’s rude welcoming yesterday at a Barnes and Nobel, of all places. If there remains any doubt about media bias and joining at the hip with the Leftinistas, one need only to put Orange Man out of mind and look how they were reaching aroused lisssull climax reporting on the evisceration of Howard Shultz. I thought 2016 would be the moment for a 3rd Party gain traction, but it was not to be…in the traditional sense of the meaning.
    “However, I sense that we’re approaching the time when an independent or third party candidate will be a strong force in a presidential election. The GOP isn’t likely to become less conservative and the Democrats aren’t likely to stop moving leftward. Thus, the space for someone claiming to be a sensible centrist will keep growing. In bad economic times, and we’re bound to have some, that space will be all the larger.
    The last time a third candidate made a substantial run for president was 1992, fairly bad economic times or so it was said. In that election, the GOP candidate was a “kinder, gentler” conservative and the Democratic candidate ran as a “new Democrat,” not wedded to the party’s liberal past. Thus, the space for Ross Perot’s centrist candidacy was not huge. Nonetheless, he did fairly well.
    With the centrist space widening by the day, I don’t see why a latter day Perot couldn’t mount a serious challenge for the presidency. But I don’t think it will happen in 2020.”

    While the article makes it sound like a mystery its obvious why a 24 hour location would have problems after the virtue signaling bathroom policy by starbucks –
    Handlrey believes one contributing factor might be a reduction in Bay Area residents living outside San Francisco who used to come into the city for a show, to eat at a restaurant and to shop. The city’s issue with people living on the streets and traffic have contributed to this decline, he says.
    “Now it’s a hassle to get into the center of the city with the changes in streets, the reductions in lanes,” he says. “And the people who get off at the Powell Street BART station…and the homeless issue.”

    Quotes from the early start to silly season.
    Friendly fire: “Elizabeth Warren wants a ‘wealth tax.’ It might backfire.” —Washington Post editorial
    Observations: “The left thin[k]s everything is about identity politics, so they falsely claim [Republicans] don’t like [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] because she is a ‘female, millennial, working-class Latina.’ That’s a terrible analysis. I don’t like her because she’s a liberal, anti-Israel socialist who supports a 70% tax rate.” —Ari Fleischer (“I have often wondered whether the left’s identity politics shaming is grounded in their abject ignorance of what conservatives actually believe or their just raw, cynical politics.” —David Limbaugh)
    Food for thought: “Think of all the stupid, useless books you were made to read in school. Then consider that you explicitly were not made to read the most influential book in the history of the world. What reasonable person could possibly oppose Bible literacy?” —Michael Knowles
    Braying Jackass: “The Catholic Church doesn’t believe in a woman’s right to choose.” —NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo defending his state’s ghoulish abortion law (No, the Catholic Church believes in the right to life.)
    Alpha Jackass: “[Trump] betrayed our country and I don’t say that lightly.” —Rep. Eric Swalwell
    Non sequitur: “You can be in favor of the Second Amendment and also understand that there is no reason in a civil society that we have assault weapons around communities that can kill babies and police officers.” —abortion advocate Kamala Harris
    Hot air: “I support a Green New Deal. Climate change is an existential threat to all of us, and we have got to deal with the reality of it.” —Kamala Harris
    What? “We are literally as a world on a collision course with time.” —former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz warning about climate change
    Non Compos Mentis: “The least sexy part of socialism is effective, efficient bureaucratic administration but the project lives or dies based on it.” —MSNBC’s Chris Hayes (“I think the least sexy part is the death toll and complete stripping of individual rights. But that’s just a matter of different taste, I guess.” —David Harsanyi)
    And last… “Kamala Harris apparently got a head start on her career by having sex with a married man. She’s a champion for women — except the woman whose husband she slept with. Seems like rather a conspicuous caveat.” —Matt Walsh

    Class warfare?
    Last week, I noted that Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren had suggested a new program of confiscating the assets of wealthy Americans on an annual schedule, a “wealth tax” with no constitutional basis and very little to recommend it economically. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has recommended a confiscatory income tax. Progressives have taken to describing the class of people they hate in eliminationist terms: Representative Ocasio-Cortez insists that it is “immoral” for “billionaires to exist.” Two influential progressive economic thinkers, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, have written that one of the benefits of confiscatory taxes is that they would cause the class of high-income Americans to “largely disappear.” Marshall Steinbaum, the research director of the progressive Roosevelt Institute, wrote: “It’s increasingly clear that having wealthy people around is a luxury our society can no longer afford.”

    Still investing in that rancid Russian dressing oh great pony tail of ignorance?
    The main takeaway from informal presidential adviser Roger Stone’s arraignment Tuesday is that the Russian collusion narrative has collapsed. If there were anything there, we’d know about it by now.
    Stone was hauled in to federal court Friday morning after a theatrical, televised arrest that should be the subject of a Justice Department investigation or congressional inquiry. Why the excessive threat of force? Though CNN denies it, many still wonder whether the network was tipped off. The extreme intimidation tactic might have been intended to send a message, but it only tended to confirm the biases of those who see special counsel Robert Mueller’s entire effort as a rogue operation.
    The “process crimes” Stone is charged with, such as lying and witness tampering, are potentially serious. But he was not charged with facilitating Trump campaign collusion with Russian hackers, and the indictment itself gives little reason to believe there ever were any.
    It was certainly not a crime for the Trump campaign to be interested in what WikiLeaks had on Hillary Clinton or other Democrats. WikiLeaks had established itself as a reliable — though notorious — source for purloined information. Weeks before WikiLeaks published the emails, Democrats had made public that their computer systems had been hacked, allegedly by Russian operatives, though WikiLeaks has denied that Moscow was its source.
