See, There's Good Hate and There's Bad Hate

"There might be forms of hate out there that you may consider hateful, but it's not the type of hate we follow," Cohen said. [More]

Translation: We know which side our bread is buttered on.

And when did "white supremacists br[ing] the Oath Keepers with them"?

You Didn’t See the Antifa Navy in Houston [More]

The effort appears dominated by those the Opposite Day "progressives" deem "haters."

The Sincerest Form of Flimflammery

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are working to cripple Sessions’ asset forfeiture efforts via H. R. 3354. [More]

Unless they do better than this, it's all sound and fury, signifying nothing besides pandering:

Thing is, there are some "supporting" this who know that, but are counting on the optics to continue being in a position to scam. Just like they used to do under Obama, knowing a measure would fail, but doing it to capitalize on their arm-waving, "Look at me!" opposition...

Justifying the Means

By Any Means Necessary, which has played a key role in riots in Berkeley, Sacramento and elsewhere, has dozens of public school teachers among its members, including among its most prominent leaders. [More]

No big shock. If you live in Berkeley and have your kids in public school there, all that does is reinforces what they're being indoctrinated in at home.

Monsters have been known to turn on their creators.

It seems we're being prepared for something. Is everyone as prepared as they can be, just in case?

Underrepresentation

WHY AREN’T LIBERALS ENFORCING A 50% FEMALE QUOTA FOR SECRET SERVICE AGENTS AND BODYGUARDS? [More]

The same reason they're not really against guns or being obscenely more wealthy than the masses they pretend to champion, either.

We're the Only Ones Following Enough

“If it comes down from the federal government, my jurisdictional powers won’t overrule the federal government,” he responded. “I have to follow the law, and I know that’s not the answer you want to hear,” he said. [More]

Seems "the supreme Law of the Land" is pretty clear on that.

I wonder what other orders he'd obey.  And will it ever be scored if Scott picks him?

Preserving the Legacy

The Legacy.com Guest Book for Michael Brian Vanderboegh will remain open until 9/9/2017, after which it will no longer be available to add an entry. The Legacy.com team wants you to be aware of this should you wish to sponsor the Guest Book to keep it open longer. [More]

But the page will still be there. Sponsor the "write" function if you like, but I think we've all had our say.  And I can think of a better use for gratitude offerings, one I know Mike would have preferred.

On a related note, I finally got a chance to watch the final cut of "Lies of Omission" Friday night. It really drove home what we're missing with Mike's passing. The DVD case had an insert about a future release that T.L.Davis drove up and shot B-roll footage for with me on Aug. 23. Here's a scan:

That seems like a better way to preserve Mike's legacy.

We're the Only Ones Letting Seeping Dogs Lie Enough

They suffer hair loss and develop secondary infections, eventually looking like some sort of "zombie" dog. [More]

And the reason the best advice you have is "mind your trash and pets" and you're not aggressively taking them out is because they're not in somebody's yard or house...?

Typecasting

Sterotyping is OK when "progressives" do it. [More]

So is, making those you want to demonize physically repelling. Where national socialists are concerned, it's SOP.

Death to the Republic Redux

Please Mr. Codrea, cease blaming President Trump for that which the electorate is responsible for... [More]

Cantor/Brat.

We'll never know what effect the early and enthusiastic support of Trump and his populist effect would have had on the Ryan/Nehlen race because he opted to make nice with the establishment instead of draining the swamp, and did the same thing with the McCain/Ward race. And Miller/Murkowski. And his picks have all betrayed him, that is, betrayed the Americans who voted for him based on his campaign pledges. And that's on him for not doing the right thing. And then on us, or at least the effects are.

Weeks in office has absolutely nothing to do with it. I was calling for Trump to reciprocate endorsements, and specifically for Nehlen, long before.  Back when everybody was saying he didn't stand a chance in hell.

The pattern of consistently ignoring his base is evidenced throughout Trump's presidency with the continued exit of top advisors who got him there and the solidification of positions for insider quislings who have never shown loyalty to the ideas that got him elected. How do you blame the electorate for that?

Note I didn't make any arguments that resorted to including your intelligence in the equation -- if it's not that, what are you implying? And note my call was for Trump to endorse candidates of principle, something within his power to sway that electorate. Blaming them solely, offering no viable solution and rejecting the one thing that could have created a chance of change produces what, exactly?
