It's Easy Enough to Grasp

“I don’t understand how you can begin to suggest a half a million dollar donation at this time,” Sam Scarfino said. [More]

Insult to Injury

The corporate owners of the Mandalay Bay casino filed suit against the victims of last year’s Las Vegas concert mass shooting, claiming it has no liability for the massacre... [More]

What Could Go Wrong?

But it's OK because:

“If they have burglaries that are open cases that are not solved yet, if you see anybody black walking through our streets and they have somewhat of a record, arrest them so we can pin them for all the burglaries,” former officer Anthony De La Torre told investigators in 2014. “They were basically doing this to have a 100% clearance rate for the city.” [More]

Speaking of a blacklist, guess what the very first city claimed in Florida is?

Little Big Boss would approve.

Spoken Like a True 'Progressive'

Bill Clinton Staffer Wants to ‘Beat The Crap Out Of Rand Paul’ [More]

Oh look: Erasing history.

What a "progressive" idea.

I've met Sen. Paul.  He's a pretty small guy. But he strikes me as disciplined and having a steel core.

I know where I'd put MY money.

Stealing Birthrights

CU Boulder students join effort to fight Boulder’s new assault weapon ban [More]

That's forward-thinking and progressive (with no need for quotation marks this time).

Compare to:

'It Turns Out Philip was Correct'?

Sorry, but if you know there's a trap, why walk into it so thoroughly? Selective editing and playing along cannot explain away this:

I talked about this yesterday -- and its Alinsky Rule 5 implications -- with Mark Walters on Armed American Radio.

Mark is correct. It's an uncomfortable conversation. I wish those prompting it had not made it necessary.
