Uncomfortable Truths

Editorial: What we don’t want to hear about suspect who wanted to ‘kill all white people’[More]

Actually, what no one seems to want to hear is a simple truth.

I've even got some prag in comments over here objecting strenuously to even bringing the topic up.

And in terms of this bit of "progressive apologia, I'm sure the "editorial board" would be tripping all over each other to bellow their condemnation were the situation reversed.  It reminds me of a boss I used to have who had a saying: "Suck one little c*** and everybody calls you a c***sucker."

Dutch "researchers" figure out we all die! [More]

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Conservative' Is

Conservative lawmakers led by Thom Tillis are crafting a bill they call the conservative Dream Act that would provide a path to permanent residency to people brought here illegally as children, offering President Donald Trump an escape hatch on one of his most vexing immigration challenges. [More]

Note Tillis wouldn't dare try to answer these questions, and no one with enough reach enough to influence him has incentive to ask him.

But there are plenty with influence on "our side" enabling the sellout, deliberately indifferent to a predictable outcome that will reverse the short term "good" votes.

If the establishment can define a cultural terraformer as"conservative," what must that make anyone who actually does want to conserve a Republic not irremediably dominated by "progressives"? And does anyone think they won't go after Tillis et al. for being "extremists" whenever that tack is the more useful?

Thank goodness none of this has anything to do with that "single issue."

‘Bristling’ Response Merely an Attempt to Counter Lies with Truth

For those who are dismissive, the question becomes “What orders would you not obey?” Bearing in mind that the “Nuremberg defense” didn’t save real Nazis from the gallows, and that a requirement for orders to be “lawful” means unlawful orders should not be obeyed, that’s a question all serious-minded Americans should consider — for themselves, for their representatives, and for the enforcers supposedly serving and protecting them. [More]

If the oath is merely a ceremonial formality, what can those who take it with no seriousness or sincerity not feel authorized to get away with?

DREAM Not Over Yet

President Donald Trump is expected to end an Obama-era program that shielded young people from deportation, but he will likely let the immigrants known as Dreamers stay in the United States until their work permits run out, according to multiple people familiar with the policy negotiation. [More]

How much longer will that be?

Jeez, Tough Crowd

Some comment posters are pretty upset with me because they say I didn't post the petition link. [More]

You don't even have to imagine what a social media outlet provider would do had a comparable post been made by someone on the alt-right against a favored "progressive" demographic.

Petition Asks Trump to Intervene on FBI’s Denial of FOIA Request on Hillary Clinton

The fact that careerists with the FBI still feel secure enough under the Trump administration to keep swamp levels rising should trouble all who voted for the president because they believe in the agenda he articulated while campaigning. [More]

Note there's also a second petition, this one going directly to the White House, that I included a link to at the end of the article as an update.
