Fact is, the last two years of “resistance” has had little to do with upholding morality or fighting for what the Left believes in. Whatever it may believe in, the Left’s pursuit of raw power — its long march through the institutions — has always been its primary goal. Thus, everything that has transpired over the last two years — from the endless public loathing of Trump to the efforts to delegitimize Trump’s presidency with baseless claims of “Russia collusion” — is because the Democratic Party’s collective ego has been wounded.

What Do Serial Killers and the Left Have in Common?The American Spectator
What Do Serial Killers and the Left Have in Common?The American Spectator:
Watching the incessant virtue signaling by the Democrats about protecting the Constitution during the opening of the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearing reminded me of the time Hannibal Lecter teamed up with the FBI agent who arrested him to stop another serial killer. In other words, it wasn’t sincere. You see, the same Democratic Party that today has taken up the mantle of defending America’s hallowed republican institutions is the same party of domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and anti-America radical Saul Alinsky.

'Most of Bush's nominees are Nazis' — those memos Patrick Leahy griped about were damning to the Democrats
'Most of Bush's nominees are Nazis' — those memos Patrick Leahy griped about were damning to the Democrats
"...Here's what happened: After Sen. Jim Jeffords switched from Republican to Democrat in 2001, he flipped the Senate in the process.
...The old story does, however, shed light on how Democrats handle Republican judicial nominees.
One Judiciary Committee memo ( memorialized in the Congressional Record) suggested making an example out of a Bush nominee — letting them through, but only after brutally lambasting them.
It had some colorful language.
It granted that Bill Clinton's controversial nominees were "impeachable," but asserted that "most of Bush's nominees are Nazis."
Michael McConnell was a Bush nominee eventually confirmed by voice vote.
...That is, to fight a losing fight over a clearly qualified judge in order to rile up the abortion lobby before the election.
The Dems' biggest fight in Bush's first term was over the nomination of Miguel Estrada...
A staffer for Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., wrote to a memo saying liberal groups had "identified Miguel Estrada (D.C. Circuit) as especially dangerous, because he has a minimal paper trail, he is Latino, and the White House seems to be grooming him for a Supreme Court appointment."
And so they did torpedo Estrada, demanding his privileged memos as solicitor general as a condition for consideration.
This is how Democrats' racial politics work — they train particular hatred on minorities and women who think independently of them and hold conservative views..."

Fascinating!-----The Big Lie - The Chronicle of Higher Education
The Big Lie - The Chronicle of Higher Education:
"The chemistry professor and his wife argued often in those days, as their marriage was coming to an end and a custody battle brewed over their two young children.
Then, one summer night, things got so heated that the police were called to intervene.
Brian and Stacey McNaughton had bought their single-family home in Fort Collins, Colo., six years earlier for $525,000.
It was the sort of place, situated on an oversize corner lot in a neighborhood filled with doctors and lawyers, that projected the kind of solid middle-class status that the couple had achieved after years of study.
Brian McNaughton, once a first-generation college student, was on the tenure track at Colorado State University, and his wife was a nurse anesthetist.
But all of that risked being torn asunder because of the big lie — a lie that they shared, and that Stacey McNaughton was now threatening to expose..."

Former Obama Education Secretary Rewrites History On Campus Due Process | Daily Wire:
After years of reporters exposing the lack of fairness, due process, and sanity in campus sexual assault adjudications (not those reporters in the left-leaning media, of course, except for Emily Yoffe), the federal government is finally taking action to try and fix the issue. Naturally, this has caused those responsible for creating the mess in the first place to attempt to rewrite history and paint themselves as champions of something they most certainly weren’t.

The slogan for the campaign is, “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.”

Democrats' visions of hand signals from white supremacists
Democrats' visions of hand signals from white supremacists:
"They seem not to have wondered why a white supremacist would find it necessary or useful to communicate such beliefs by an obscure hand gesture that isn't really a white supremacist hand gesture, when so many other forms of communication are readily available and more easily concealed from alert eyes like their own.
They seem to find it inconceivable that everyone doesn’t know that the hand gesture recognized universally and for many years in this country as signifying "OK" now signifies support of white supremacy.
In other words, they have taken leave of their senses.
...The United States, in their view, continues to be an irredeemably racist country.
That's the message of bestselling writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. “America’s progress on race has been minimal,” as Columbia’s John McWhorter summarizes this view, “just pretty window dressing here and there,” with “no reason to hope things will get even better.”
...focusing on hidden hand signals and phantom masses of white supremacists is just plain nuts. Democrats need to keep the signals from getting out of hand."

I have to admit, I am skeptical. How do we know she didn't just buy tickets or a t-shirt? How is this "proof" of anything?
Good question. The pic itself does not prove anything. The context does. And the eye witnesses.

How Colleges Are Ripping Off a Generation of Ill-Prepared Students | Intellectual Takeout
"Earlier this month, the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress, aka the nation’s “report card,” was released. It’s not a pretty story.
Only 37 percent of 12th-graders tested proficient or better in reading, and only 25 percent did so in math.
Among black students, only 17 percent tested proficient or better in reading, and just 7 percent reached at least a proficient level in math.
The atrocious National Assessment of Educational Progress performance is only a fraction of the bad news.
Nationally, our high school graduation rate is over 80 percent.
That means high school diplomas, which attest that these students can read and compute at a 12th-grade level, are conferred when 63 percent are not proficient in reading and 75 percent are not proficient in math.
For blacks, the news is worse..."

- "Parents across the U.S. have objected to a Department of Education program called “Access Islam.” The federally-funded program is directed at children from grades 5-12 and is also featured on various websites, including PBS Learning Media.
- The Smithsonian also promotes the course as does the Indiana Department of Education and the United Nations.
- Parents charge that the course amounts to nothing less than proselytizing about Islam in public schools.
- In addition, they note that the Department of Education provides no comparable study or promotion of any other religion.

Birthright Citizenship On The Wane—The US May Soon Be The ONLY Target For Birth Tourism | Blog Posts | VDARE.com:
"I have mentioned before, rather often I think, that, to quote the Center for Immigration Studies, "Of advanced economies, Canada and the United States are the only countries that grant automatic citizenship to children born to illegal aliens."
In an age of cheap and easy international travel, birthright citizenship is, for prosperous and stable nations, an invitation to obstetric tourism.
For nations that do not carefully control their borders and track foreign visa holders, birthright citizenship is also one more incentive to illegal immigration.
..Last weekend at the biennial convention of Canada's Conservative Party delegates passed a resolution changing the party's policy book to say, quote:
We encourage the government to enact legislation which will fully eliminate birthright citizenship in Canada unless one of the parents of the child born in Canada is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada.
...Birthright-citizenship-wise, it may soon be America alone.
Then we'll be getting all the obstetric tourists instead of just half of them."

The In-N-Out Burger Boycott Shows that Under Socialism, Those Who Don’t Obey Won’t Eat
The In-N-Out Burger Boycott Shows that Under Socialism, Those Who Don’t Obey Won’t Eat"Last week, Eric Bauman, the chair of the California Democratic Party, called for a boycott of the popular California hamburger chain In-N-Out Burger.
What was In-N-Out Burger’s crime?
Los Angeles Magazine reported that the burger chain had contributed to the Republican Party.
Bauman tweeted a link to the story about the contribution and called the chain “creeps:”
Et tu In-N-Out? Tens of thousands of dollars donated to the California Republican Party… it’s time to #BoycottInNOut—let Trump and his cronies support these creeps… perhaps animal style!
...It is hard to interpret the call for a boycott of In-and-Out as anything but a sign of California’s further descent into totalitarianism.
Those who don’t support the ruling political regime will have their economic livelihood threatened.Current events and history warn us:
A political party demanding loyalty to the party as a condition for doing business is a terrible path to go down.
...Food has already been used as a political weapon in Venezuela.
...Immediately upon obtaining power in 1933, Hitler began to eliminate any opponents, not just Jews.
In his book, The Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany, Professor Thomas Childers covers the 1933 “Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service” which “led to the immediate dismissal of all ‘non-Aryans’ from state-subsidized theaters, orchestras, museums, schools, and research institutions.”
...Hitler’s goal?
Opposition in any segment of society was to be eliminated. Childers continues..."

Democrats’ Brett Kavanaugh Antics Expose Hollowness of Calls for Civility | National Review
Democrats’ Brett Kavanaugh Antics Expose Hollowness of Calls for Civility | National Review
"The sordid spectacle that opened Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings put the lie to left-wing laments about the decline of civility in American politics.
We hear a lot about norms these days.
We live in a time when alleged pre-existing norms of decency, civility, and respect are being cast aside for the sake of “winning.”
The ends justify the means, and a dignified loser is just that: a loser.
There is a real sense that we’re losing something irreplaceable, a shared respect that once allowed partisans to battle over ideas while remaining bound together as citizens of the world’s greatest constitutional republic.
...Unfortunately, it appears that all too much of the talk about norms and civility and decency is just another weapon of convenience, to be dropped the moment it is perceived to pave the path of defeat.
Just look at the disgusting spectacle that was day one (and the opening of day two) of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing.
...So, the next time you hear grave words about civility, respond with a request:
Show, don’t tell.
When the chips are down, will you practice what you preach?
Yesterday’s performance provides a clear answer, and it should worry all of us who genuinely care about health of American political discourse."
