[Trump keeps sticking his foot in it at every turn.  Now enough crap is starting to pile up so that a significant number of Rs are starting to voice opposition.  That can mushroom in the Senate and end his administration.  Right now the immediate pile consists of 1) Ukrainian pro quids per Mulvaney, 2) Abandoning Kurds in Syria, and 3) holding the G-7 in his Doral digs.  All of which could have been avoided if someone would only tell him, 'Mr President, STFU!!'  gjr]

    ——————————————
    Jordan Peterson, Kamala Harris, and Beto.
    “But they claim that if Peterson’s views are openly expressed, he might convince other people that he’s right, and that could lead to the proliferation of conservative thought. Peterson’s “conservative perspectives on feminism and gender,” according to an opinion piece in The New York Times, “are very popular among young men and often are a path to more extreme content and ideologies.” Think about this. Conservative speech is dangerous because it is a slippery slope to the adoption of conservative ideas? This must be satire. Do these clueless cranks know how ridiculous they sound?”

    They finally met oh, four years after Cal as she was finishing up the MBA and he was on the home stretch for the PhD.
    Regarding Jordan Peterson… he isn’t a conservative. He’s more a left-centrist… a classic liberal, in his own words. Think libertarian.

    The fact is that Hispanics are flourishing in the Trump economy. Democrats asserting the contrary is a mere partisan talking point to try to deny Trump the Hispanic support he has earned and which may decide the presidential election outcome next year. Expect Democrats to increase their identity politics attacks in an effort to skew Latinos against Republicans over the next year and a half.

    Hey, you yourself will be tossed in with the Deplorables soon enough. Judging solely by the one and only Green Libertarian, you are a bad libertarian. Bad, bad, bad. Think Rand Paul can just waltz into any restaurant he pleases? First, the Bernie Bro went hunting for dirty rotten Republicans with a list in his pocket and shot at poor Rand Paul at softball practice. An innocent bystander. Then his next door neighbor done came over while Rand was minding his own business mowing his yard and busted up the Kentucky Senator’s ribs. That ain’t showing the good ole Southern Hospitality the South is renown for, no siree. Then last week he walked into a Blue State CA restaurant staffed with a couple of Blue State New Yorkers and was told his free speech rights have been rescinded.

    The ground truth of all collectivism is the Big Lie told to the poor and ignorant – your misery is the fault of those who have and produce, for they have cheated you out of your things and jobs. The Big Lie has come in various formats since the time of Lenin. Today his American progeny are the socialist Democrats who have no message of how they would create and spread the wealth, save take from those who already have it. These are very old ideas that go back to the caveman, and they resonate today as much as they did 10,000 years ago. When you examine the Left’s proposals, there is nothing new that doesn’t depend on ‘take and redistribute’. The hardworking nebishes of the land – the apolitical middle-roaders – have no clue that when the Left starts taking, then it will first and foremost be taken from them, because as Willie Sutton said, “Because that’s where the money is.” It was ever thus.

    Even the Clinton news network wants answers from abc that are not forthcoming –
    ABC News still hasn’t explained how it mistook footage from a Kentucky gun range for authentic video of fighting between Syria and Turkish forces but has promised to dole out internal “consequences” for the error, CNN’s Brian Stelter said Sunday.
    “Let’s talk about the most egregious media error of the week,” he said during “Reliable Sources.” “This involves ABC News, showing video from a gun range in Kentucky that they said was video of a slaughter in Syria.”
    “It’s actually from a Kentucky gun range,” Stelter added. “Now ABC says it regrets the error, but it has not explained what happened.”
    The network issued a correction Monday after reportedly using video from the Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, while the words “CRISIS IN SYRIA. ISIS prisoners escape as death toll rises in attacks,” appeared beneath it.

    Many, especially the far left, once they smell doubleplusungood like my thoughts on the role of galactic cosmic rays in climate change, or on guns and LCMs, identify me as a far right winger when in truth I’m a Jefferonsonian left-centrist.
    Oh, does any remember Jeffy’s attempts at shaming me for choosing Loyola Marymount for my MSEE? And that I was lying in my claim that Teri and I both lived two miles from CSULA and still drove across town to LMU for the masters? Well, the current issue of the Key Reporter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society (did I not mention my kid was inducted upon graduating from Cal?) has as its cover photo… LMU in the sunset. “Offering rigorous undergraduate, graduate and professional programs to academically ambitious students committed to lives of meaning and purpose, LMU is ranked in the top 15% nationally by the WSJ/Times Higher Education College Rankings 2019.”
    PBK opened a chapter there in April…
    I am happy to note that, in the long tradition of not hosting ‘Greek’ frats or sororities, Mudd does not have a chapter. Not that I’d have been invited in if they did.
