We're the Only Ones Not Approving Enough
If the notification email states your final disposition is Not Disapproved or Initial Review Not Disapproved this means that you have been approved and can now pick up your weapon. [More]But they just can't say "Approved"?
Manly deeds, womanly words, indeed.
The culpability risk aversion is strong in these "sworn" Maryland bravehearts. I guess this is an old rule, but it's new to me.
The Play's the Thing
Pro-Trump star Kristy Swanson: Dean Cain and I got 'death threats' over play [More]"Progressives" are about as tolerant as the Taliban, aren't they?
Look for further disruptions and attacks, because that's what leftists do.
As an aside, I understand she's got the acting chops to play Lisa Page, but she just doesn't have the gums.

Giving Up the Ghost
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, like others in this story, these sources note he’ll occasionally point out in conversation that he’s writing this book himself, while Michelle used a ghostwriter. [More]Kind'a like this little piggy...?

We're the Only Ones Demanded of Enough
A Charlottesville judge has ruled that the Virginia State Police and the Office of the Secretary of Public Safety have 30 days to turn over at least portions of the law enforcement plan for Aug. 12, 2017, the day of the "Unite the Right" rally that turned deadly. [More]That they would not do it unless forced tells us much.

The Emperor's New Clothes
NRA Suits. Ever Heard of Buy One Get One Free? [More]And as the story goes, the emperor was really naked. Which brings me to another point that seems to have gone off the radar: What's the deal with the "intern"?
I haven't heard anyone claim it's all made up. Why not?
I don't care if the wagon-circlers are "not inclined" to discuss anything outside of their professionally crafted, weasel-worded obfuscation -- they're the ones who need members to trust them enough to send money, not the other way around. And until that gets unequivocally cleared up, it not only gives credence to things being what they look like, it is also profoundly unfair to the reputation of the young lady in question and the impact that will have on her life.
If it's not what it looks like, a good way to prove it would be to show where other interns have received similar accommodations as a matter of policy. They owe it to her.
In a past life, I used to do corporate policies and procedures, and such expenditures would be authorized and in accordance with approved and auditable criteria. If they don't have such expenditure controls, that brings up a whole 'nother level of unacceptably irresponsible fiscal practices. No wonder they say they're going broke.
If Fairfax doesn't come up with some credible documentation -- instead of digging in their heels and acting like anyone demanding accountability is a Bloomberg stooge -- the understandable default conclusion many will come to is that things are what they look like.
That, too, is grossly unfair to her.
Because if it is what it looks like, then she is being left to dangle in the wind while her "benefactor" hides. That's what Bill and Hillary did to young, impressionable and infatuated Monica, and look what her name will forever be synonymous with.
Such behavior is the mark of a coward and a cad, and anyone who gives money to such is a fool. A man -- and I know the term as intended is "unfashionable" these days" -- takes responsibility for the bad he owns, as well as the good.
So which is it? Silence is unacceptable.

I Just Found Out I'm an Anti-Semite
I was looking for something else and came across this:
Yes, Ranting Against ‘Globalism’ Is Anti-SemiticOops.
Her "authoritative" source is this, which offers opinion but no corroboration, and essentially concludes that if it's used by someone the author agrees with, it's OK, but if not, why that's hate.
But it seems we have us a meme.
Looks to me like just another way the hive-minded try to make people afraid to speak the truth.
Banking on Redirection
Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon flatly denied that any debanking has occurred at Chase Bank under his watch, but refrained from pledging that it would not happen in the future...Again today, Dimon refrained from addressing the SPLC affiliation after Almasi brought it up. [More]But it's all about debt sustainability and regulatory compliance abilities. Honest.

What it Takes
Wrangler’s collab with rapper Lil Nas X gets boycotted by country fans [More]At least it wasn't over something trivial.
What Goes Around
WORLD’S OLDEST RECORD STORE BANS MORRISSEY SALES BECAUSE HE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION [More]Gee, that's too bad.
