A New Silent Majority Is Coming

Roger Simon:

“…Led by a media that is at once delusional and cynical—an eye-rolling combination—America is in the throes of a national madness.

Few are able to tell the truth—and when they do, they are attacked by the mob, not only in the street, but in the board room.

Just the other day, talk show host Tucker Carlson opened his mouth about the well-documented dishonest origins (the lie about Michael Brown) of Black Lives Matter and sent advertisers skittering like so many scared rabbits.

You have the sensation that people across the country are hiding what they really think for fear of repercussions, retribution that will destroy their lives and livelihood.

And they’re not being stupid. It could—and has…”

I don’t agree with Matt Taibbi about much, but when he is right, he is right

The American Press Is Destroying Itself

Worth clicking over. Get through the first couple paragraphs of rote Trump bashing, and Taibbi calls out the left ruthlessly and relentlessly.

We live in the age of “Stupid”

Fawlty Towers (famous episode) pulled over racist slurs

Luckily we own all the Fawlty Towers episodes. My wife and I love them.

Peak Democrat – One Dem pol after another seeks to outdo the previous peak of absurd

Higher education self-destructs – Cornell campus climate “so far beyond political correctness” It’s “almost a total totalitarian type of mentality”

The Problem with George Will (read paleo-republican)

J.B. Shurk:

“…Twenty sixteen was a repudiation of the whole political system, including the dainty, impotent brand of conservatism that George Will has spent a lifetime peddling while the hard socialism he pretended to fight grew thicker and more resilient with each passing year. He misdiagnosed what Republican voters wanted in 2016. He has spent four years actively working against us. Now he believes that his conservative creed — one that insists we retreat from the ideological field of battle while preserving the institutional integrity of whatever new monstrosities the socialists erect in the name of America — should pick up just where it left off before Donald Trump knocked him off his stool, stuck a wet finger in his ear, and gave him a long overdue wedgie.

Everything Will has written since the end of 2015 falls into one of three categories: (1) Donald Trump is not a traditional conservative (yep!); (2) it is so important to conserve conservatism that we must elect Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and the Marxist Millennials taking up Bernie Sanders’s mantle (huh?); and (3) since Trump’s support comes purely from a “cult of personality,” once he is gone, traditional Republican voters will begin marching to the Will-Kristol-Romney Triumvirate of Timidity beat once again (no way!)…”

Has America ever had a more crazed mayor than Seattle’s Jenny Durkan?

Andrea Widburg:

“…It’s no longer big news that Black Lives Matter, Antifa, anarchists, sex offenders, and criminal opportunists seized a six-block area in Seattle’s chi-chi Capitol Hill district. The same people who protested against Trump’s walls built walls around their Utopian paradise, the gun haters armed themselves, and the ones decrying identification at elections demand identification for anyone seeking to enter the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (or CHAZ). Most mayors would be horrified, but not Jenny Durkan. She likes it.

According to Wikipedia, the Capitol Hill district is a densely populated area known for its counterculture and LGBTQ communities. It’s in sync with the 87% of Seattle’s population that supported Hillary in 2016. It’s in this neighborhood that BLM has brought forth a new nation, conceived in hysteria and violence, and dedicated to the proposition that all black people are created better than everyone else (because only their lives matter)…”
