The Culture Of The Smug White Liberal | HuffPost
The Culture Of The Smug White Liberal | HuffPost"I have spent my life as a Democrat which probably isn’t that surprising considering that I am African-American.
One of the things that always attracted me to the party were the ideals of equality, fighting for the little guy and our openness to differing opinions, but lately I have seen my party take a turn that makes me uncomfortable.
Somewhere along the way we stopped fighting for the little guy and became the party of the smug, educated elites who look down on those with less education and deem them unable or unworthy of being able to make personal decisions for their own lives..."

Dear Ex-Friends in #TheResistance - American Greatness
"Hey, what’s up.
Long time no talk.
I think the last civil conversations we had occurred just days before November 8, 2016.
You were supremely confident Hillary Clinton would win the presidential election; you voted for her with glee.
As a lifelong Republican, I bit down hard and cast my vote for Donald Trump.
Then the unimaginable happened.
He won.
And you lost your fucking minds.
I knew you would take the loss hard—and personally—since all of you were super jacked-up to elect the first woman president.
But I did not imagine you would become totally deranged, attacking anyone who voted for Trump or supported his presidency as a racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic Nazi-sympathizer.
The weirdness started on social media late on Election Night, as it became clear Hillary was going to lose.
A few of you actually admitted that you were cradling your sleeping children, weeping, wondering what to tell your kindergartner the next morning about Trump’s victory.
It continued over the next several days.
Some of you seriously expressed fear about modern-day concentration camps.
Despite living a privileged lifestyle, you were suddenly a casualty of the white patriarchy.
Your daughters were future victims; your sons were predators-in-waiting.
You threatened to leave Facebook because you could no longer enjoy the family photos or vacation posts from people who, once friends, became Literal Hitlers to you on November 8 because they voted for Donald Trump..."
Really fun read.

The Suicide Of Europe | Daily Wire
The Suicide Of Europe | Daily Wire:
"On Friday, the British police arrested Tommy Robinson, founder and former leader of the English Defence League, a far-right anti-Islam group. Robinson is a controversial character, to be sure, a sort of Milo Yiannopoulos lite. His chief focus is on the threat of radical Islam, which he believes threatens the integrity of the British system.
You don't have to like Robinson. But whatever you think of him, his arrest is absurd by any measure. You see, Robinson was arrested for standing outside a court building and reporting on a trial involving the alleged grooming of young girls for sexual assault by radical Muslims."

Leon Drolet - I was the token non-lefty at a MI Public Radio panel...:
"I was the token non-lefty at a MI Public Radio panel on mass transit weeks ago.
Several attendees among the lefty NPR audience advocated a high-speed train from Ann Arbor to Traverse City (two of Michigan's wealthiest areas).
It seems the wealthy left wants middle-class, working citizens to subsidize the elites' fun ride from advantaged, high-priced homes to vacation retreats.
...The more the left declares war on the car by pushing bike lanes, global-warming guilt, 'bus only" lanes, and urban-density, the more resentment middle class taxpayers feel.
Yes, the Dem Party also contains poor people, for whom the left claims to advocate for.
But actions speak louder than words: Detroit's QLine trolley benefits almost exclusively those in the new wealthy district at the expense of poor neighborhoods.
Middle class taxpayers are treated like a piggy bank for the egos of the elite..."

Starbucks Chairman: We Had To Re-Educate Our Employees Partly Because Of Donald Trump | Daily Wire
Starbucks Chairman: We Had To Re-Educate Our Employees Partly Because Of Donald Trump | Daily Wire:
"Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz suggested to CNN Tuesday that his company wouldn't be suffering through a full re-education process on diversity if Donald Trump weren't president.
According to the Hill, Schultz agreed that the "behavior and language that comes out of this administration" gives license to his own employees to be more freewheeling with their own personal biases.
Ultimately, it seems, that's what Schultz believes — at least partly — led to one of his Starbucks managers calling the police on two black men who were waiting for their party to gather for a meeting.
“On a personal level, [Trump's rhetoric] probably has given license to people to feel as if they can emulate and copy the kind of behavior and language that comes out of this administration,” Schultz said."...

Hollywood Reacts to Roseanne Barr's Valerie Jarrett Tweet: 'Millions Are Traumatized'
"A horde of Hollywood stars took to social media on Tuesday to react to Roseanne Barr’s remarks in which she said former Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett is what you get “if the “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.”
Dear @ABC, This is a time-sensitive issue. Millions are hurt, offended, and traumatized by Roseanne’s racist comments. A slow response from her employer suggests you support her comments which is even more hurtful.

Buried lede: ProPublica admits Obamacare the culprit driving insurance costs sky high
"ProPublica, the pro-Obama leftwing investigative-reporting website funded in part by George Soros' buddies, seems to have slipped up.
One of their reporters, a real good one named Marshall Allen, has written a bang-up, worth-reading-every-word, satisfying expose about why health insurance costs are so high and why so many patients get ugly surprises when it's time to pay the bill.
And buried within, in what should have been the lede, is not an indictment of the insurance industry, but of the perverse incentives embedded within Obamacare - that are driving insurance costs through the roof...
And buried within, in what should have been the lede, is not an indictment of the insurance industry, but of the perverse incentives embedded within Obamacare - that are driving insurance costs through the roof...
Read all!The Affordable Care Act kept profit margins in check by requiring companies to use at least 80 percent of the premiums for medical care. That's good in theory, but it actually contributes to rising health care costs. If the insurance company has accurately built high costs into the premium, it can make more money. Here's how: Let's say administrative expenses eat up about 17 percent of each premium dollar and around 3 percent is profit. Making a 3 percent profit is better if the company spends more..."
