‘Progressive’ Voting Proposal Recycles Ancient Totalitarian Elitism

As with all things “progressive,” Brennan’s epistocracy epiphany is, at its core, just the recycling of an old idea. A very old idea. [More]
An Opposite Day “Progressive intellectual” says we should be ruled by benevolent “philosopher kings/epistocrats,” just like Plato envisioned. What could go wrong?

Lives, not so much evidently, if they're being threatened over penny-ante heists like this ... [More]

Man, if this doesn't convince me I've been wrong and it's time to turn 'em all in, nothing will.

"Progressives" making idiot decisions -- is there any group on the planet more toxic to freedom solutions?

I can't even muster any sympathy for the mother in this case, only for the child. Give her a couple more years being raised like that and she'd have become unsalvageable, too, at least by man.

These Boots are Made for Running

Nash Montana, who translated the following article from Freie Zeiten, is at pains to emphasize that THIS IS NOT A JOKE: German Federal police recommend: Women should wear sneakers so they can run away better from asylum seekers. [More]
Why would we think that? At least those of us who remember the Illinois State Police advising women to vomit and use rat tail combs, but "If you must fight  ... Use of a firearm to protect yourself or property is not recommended"...?

What personal cowards those who think they are in charge want people of the West to be. That's why they put those who refuse into that basket of deplorables.

DIY

Asian residents of south Sacramento say they’ve formed their own armed patrols to respond to a wave of robberies that has terrorized the community, where business owners report a steep drop in customers because people are afraid to go out after dark. [More]
Still, what good is leading the way on that front when as a whole this demographic continues to put people in power who craft policies to favor the criminal and disarm the victim pool?

Note the "Only One" spokesflack warning to leave this to the "professionals": Could the name "McPhail" be a more appropriate aptronym?

Business Forecast

Some local businesses are worried the sign sends the wrong message and could make some tourists feel unwelcome. [More]
Which "local businesses"? And how many? And how have you determined they're representative of more than just a few

Who are they? Shouldn't they get to see if the market behaves the way they predict, or if it instead results in blow-back on them?

Plus it seems if a network affiliate is going to put potentially inflammatory information out there, it ought to be able to back it up. You know, so we can see if the scope of the "problem" warrants such attention, or if the motive here is just to gin up some hysteria.

Priorities

Trying to emulate the excesses of borderline retard lottery winners is no formula for personal success. [More]

Fortunately, we live in a "culture" that encourages those who do to blame "poverty" and "racism" for their predictable failures as human beings.

I wonder when Las Vegas odds-makers are going to get involved.

It's a transparent attempt to calm a spooked herd.

Hey, We Ought to Start Calling Her Coffey

Like the guy with the mouth bugs in The Green Mile... [More]

How dare this shameless vampire expose a child to an infectious disease for a damn photo op? That is, assuming the "official" story isn't just another total lie she just got trapped in.

Exploit the hell out of this. Shove it down the throat of her supporters and ask them if they approve, and if not, when they're going to criticize her.

But he sure knows how to tell producers to produce.  Most collectivist bosses do – or they at least act that way.  Forget the politically-engineered mass starvation that always seems to follow. Wherever collectivists rule an unarmed populace. [More]
So what's the reason we don't adopt sensible immigration laws like Mexico's again, to avoid all this BS?

The point to be illustrated is, those who say disarmament will prevent suicides never seem to start where the rates run higher:
National law enforcement suicide rates run between 18 and 22 per 100,000; the general population's rate is about 11 per 100,000.
