Letter: A case against the National Popular Vote

Letter: A case against the National Popular Vote:

My contention is that the popular vote at its heart is all about control. It hides under a mask of respecting the will of the people, but actually does the exact opposite. The sentiment of the vast majority of voters is shaped by the media rather than direct engagement with candidates or hands-on study of issues. It is much easier to control voter sentiments via a New York-based national media cabal than it is to control 50 unique laboratories of thought.
How does the media control voter sentiments? They control what news you hear and what news you don’t hear. They control which candidates you hear about and which you do not.

Meanwhile the GoFund Me for "Ford's security" has raised over $173k of its $175K goal.

Eric Ivers It was $100,000 goal just a bit ago. I wonder if they can raise a million.

Eric Ivers I also note that it isn't Ford doing the ask. I wonder how much is being cut off of the top, and to what extent this is just a money laundering of Ford's payoff.

Jennifer Verner They are laundering money

Nathan Bupp You can bank on the fact that this whole stunt has been funded by either George Soros and Tom Steyer or both.

Keith Barry There are more than enough home-grown liberals to fund that. Some of them are wealthy. Some, very wealthy. 

And they certainly don't mind dropping 10k on a hate burger and constitutional judge frying.

"Proposal 2: Create independent redistricting commission

Proposal 2 would amend the Michigan Constitution to create an independent redistricting commission. The 13-member commission would consist of five independent members, four self-declared Democrats and four self-declared Republicans.

...The commissioners would be selected randomly from a pool of registered voters who submitted applications to the Secretary of State. 

The Secretary of State would be required to circulate commissioner applications to 10,000 registered Michigan voters at random from various regions of the state. 
Read the ballot language: Proposal 2
A PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO ESTABLISH A COMMISSION OF CITIZENS WITH EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY TO ADOPT DISTRICT BOUNDARIES FOR THE MICHIGAN SENATE, MICHIGAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND U.S. CONGRESS, EVERY 10 YEARS
This proposed constitutional amendment would:
* Create a commission of 13 registered voters randomly selected by the Secretary of State:
     - 4 each who self-identify as affiliated with the 2 major political parties; and
     - 5 who self-identify as unaffiliated with major political parties.
* Prohibit partisan officeholders and candidates, their employees, certain relatives, and lobbyists from serving as commissioners.
* Establish new redistricting criteria including geographically compact and contiguous districts of equal population, reflecting Michigan's diverse population and communities of interest. Districts shall not provide disproportionate advantage to political parties or candidates.
* Require an appropriation of funds for commission operations and commissioner compensation."

Is Gender Dysphoria a Fad? | Intellectual Takeout

Is Gender Dysphoria a Fad? | Intellectual Takeout
"Camille Paglia recently suggested that the rise of gender dysphoria is simply the new face of the counter-culture.
Every adult knows the myriad challenges of adolescence. 
The hormones.
The confusion.
The pressure.
It’s a period when it’s not unusual for teens to gain freedom, drift from Mom and Dad, and be introduced to alcohol, drugs, and sex.
This would be difficult enough, but children are then usually thrust into large schools with other teens.
And did I mention that all this is happening at an age when humans reach the zenith of base cruelty?
...When we think of teen rebellion in the modern era, we tend to think of a revolt against authority. Think James Dean or Jack Kerouac in the 1950s.
But many teens today seem to be rebelling against something greater: nature.
Gender dysphoria, a condition described as “strong, persistent feelings of identification with the opposite gender and discomfort with one's own assigned sex,” is quite common in young people today..."

What is Christine Braley Ford trying to hide?

What is Christine Braley Ford trying to hide?:

Most tellingly, before she came out as the accuser, she spent what must have been days scrubbing her social media accounts of all the lefty activities and statements she must have been involved in. That's the detail that stands out to me.
Why did she do that?
Just because someone is a lefty does not mean he can't be a victim of a high school groper. Left-wingers would be the very first to point this out. Why did she scrub it?
Obviously, because it was to conceal her political agenda and make her case stronger as that of a random objective woman telling the truth, not a lefty activist desperate to make a difference for the Democrats.

Jason Chaffetz: The Deep State is real – I've seen it up close and it's far worse than you can imagine | Fox News
"Jason Chaffetz: The deep state is real
With each successive batch of text messages released between then-FBI agent Peter Strzok and then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page, the evidence supporting a politically motivated Deep State within the federal government spills out into the open.
Based on my own experience, this particular set of text messages is the tip of the iceberg. 
While serving on the House Oversight Committee, I saw firsthand how those in control of our bureaucracy brazenly abuse their power – spying, manipulating and misleading – in an effort to perpetuate their stranglehold on the government.
...The Deep State is not just a conspiracy theory. 
No less than our very system of separation of powers and checks and balances is at stake.
While we still have a president willing to check Deep State power, we must act to stop those who are part of the Deep State from undermining the most successful government in the history of the world."

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON---Descent into Progressive Madness | National Review

Descent into Progressive Madness | National Review
"From Dianne Feinstein to John Kerry to Maxine Waters to Cory ‘Spartacus’ Booker, Democrats are losing their marbles.
The progressive street is leading fossilized Democrats into a sort of collective madness.
The dinosaurs of the party desperately seek relevance by sounding crazier than the new unhinged base that disrupts Senate hearings, loudly pronounces a new socialist future, and envisions octogenarian Maxine Waters as more the future of the party than is septuagenarian Nancy Pelosi. 
...All that we can say about this new progressivism is the same as what we can say about the cult of sanctuary cities, ensuring universal Medicare for all, and the idea of abolishing ICE: 
It operates outside the realm of reason and truth as it descends into collective madness."

Democrats and Deep State howl from the swamp about declassification:

The Deep State's power is based on secrets, and ending that privilege is definitely cause for screaming from that group.  Couple that with the Democrats' howls as their Russia, Russia, Russia narrative goes down in flames, and we have a fantastic Bonfire of the Vanities, courtesy of President Trump.  All I can say is, bring it on.

Scholar: ‘Kinky people’ should be a protected class

Scholar: ‘Kinky people’ should be a protected class

• A UC Santa Cruz researcher argued that a protected class should be established for "kinky people".
• He said that while, "if you show up to your job in a latex catsuit, you can be fired for that," employers should not be able to terminate employment based on similar pictures that appear online.
• The researcher compared the belief that kinky people will sexually assault children to the belief that gay people will abuse children.

..."Your boss should not be able to go search online, find photos of you somewhere wearing a latex catsuit and then fire you because they think you’re a pervert.”..
