Colbert is a coward

Sasha Stone: "Good Riddance, Stephen Colbert - It couldn't have happened to a bigger jerk."

Good riddance, Stephen Colbert, you snide, smug, sanctimonious, intolerable partisan hack. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

My main beef with Colbert/Kimmel/Oliver etc. is that they love to play the tough guy within their echo chamber but they'll never confront their enemies face-to-face.  If they truly believed they had a monopoly on political rhetoric, they would invite Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio or Scott Jennings onto their show to mix it up.  Instead they all - like cowards - invite Bernie Sanders and AOC so they call all agree with one another and bask in the glow of their own moral superiority.

Oh it's (D)ifferent now

Manhattan Contrarian: "Sue and Settle: Two can play this game." - "So no, New York Times, there is nothing “unusual,” let alone “highly unusual,” about the government using settlement of a litigation to set up a slush fund to pass out to political friends and allies.  The only thing unusual is the use of this strategy by a Republican President.  It took him a while, but it looks like he finally figured out that two can play this game." 

This will go as well as "buy nothing" day

Nobody is going to do this: "NAACP Urges Athletes to Withhold Support From Schools in States That Have Moved to Erase Black Votes." 

Here we go again

Red State: "SCOTUS Just Hit Reset on Two Voting Rights Cases - and KBJ Is Not Happy."

The sole dissenter...again. 

Extra - Legal Insurrection - “KBJ has become the equivalent of a hand grenade that Joe Biden threw into the Supreme Court”

Medicaid for...art lessons?

Wall Street Journal: "The Great California Medicaid Grift - Why the federal share of the state’s spending on the program is $138 billion, more than the general fund of every other state." 

And the media lets them off the hook

Townhall: "Democrats Refuse To Even Talk To the American People Anymore."

I used to watch the Sunday morning shows but the quality of the interviews has gotten so poor.  The guests are asked a question and - no matter the topic - they launch into their talking points as a kind of filibuster to run out the clock.  You will never get Elizabeth Warren to tell you what a "fair share" is.  Hakeem Jeffries will never explain how he thinks the Supreme Court is full of racists.  Democrats can say the craziest stuff and the interviewer just nods along.

Flashback - "Bill Maher Blasts Democrats for Being Too ‘Afraid’ to Go on His Show."

There's no crying in NASCAR

Outkick: "Female NASCAR driver cries during shocking in-car meltdown, parks truck during race and rage-quits the series." - "In no world should her boss be trying to talk her off a ledge over the radio during a race. That's high school stuff. This is the real world." 

I've been a NASCAR fan for a long time so let me say this about another female driver that NASCAR was desperately trying to promote: Danica Patrick.  She was considered something of a joke and her racing record was extremely spotty with more DNFs than top-10 finishes.  But she was never afraid to jump out of her car after a race and confront somebody who had done her wrong.  She's a spitfire.

Crying in your truck?  What a travesty. 

Mamdani discovers he's the parasite

NY Post: "Billionaire Ken Griffin ghosts Mamdani after NYC ‘Tax the Rich’ video flap"

After Mamdani doxxed Griffin, the billionaire said he was "reviewing" a huge development in New York City and that he was definitely going to expand his financial operation in Miami.  Quite suddenly, the Boy Mayor discovered that he's the parasite to Griffin's host.

SCOTUS to VA Dems: GTFO

Hot Air: "BREAKING: Unanimous SCOTUS Rejects VA Dems Attempt to Reinstate Referendum."

This was all just posing.  Nobody actually believed the Supreme Court was going to rule on a state matter.  The Dems didn't even get KBJ, that's how stupid this appeal was.

Defamation 101

Jen Psaki makes up some fake stuff and here comes the blowback: "Eric Trump Torches Psaki’s ‘Monolog of Lies,’ Vows Massive MSNOW Lawsuit."

This is the only way the mainstream media learns: with cold, hard cash.

None dare call it fascism

Hot Air: "Tossing the Constitution: The Democrats' Latest 'Save Democracy' Plan." 

He bought this on himself

PJ Media: "Biden's Third 'Memoir' Will Embarrass and Humiliate Him."

Biden tried to claim executive privilege to prevent the release of audio tapes with his ghostwriter.  But - guess what! - Trump is in control of the government now. 

Booker is incapable of shame

LA Times: "Cory Booker should be ashamed of himself"

But do we really believe that white Democrats — in the post-Jim Crow South, or anywhere else — are unwilling or incapable of representing the political interests of Black voters? Do Black legislators ignore the interests of their white constituents?

Which brings me back to where I started.

Cory Booker is Black. Black residents make up roughly 13% of his state’s population. Are the other 87% disenfranchised or otherwise unrepresented by his election? Of course not. But I would love to have heard Booker explain why.

Good question!  In a totally unrelated question, can a gay man represent the interests of straight constituents?  The people need to know.

I've heard better political slogans

Karen Bass has settled on a position for her campaign: "Meth heads need teeth!" 

Xavier Becerra is pathetic

Ace: "Obama's Oxygen Thief DHS [sic] Secretary, Xavier Becerra, Is Currently the Leading Democrat for California Governor and Cannot Answer Questions About His Record Without Begging for Mercy."

When the reporter points out that children as young as 14 wound up, get this, working as near-slave labor in slaughterhouses and with heavy machinery, he just sulks. It's not fair to demand accountability from a Democrat.

As Thomas Sowell says: "When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination."  And, brother, nobody gets more reach-arounds from the mainstream media than Democrats.

Now this is where it turns pathetic: He begins whining that he agreed to a profile not an interview and in a profile you're supposed to shine his ass with Turtle Wax and a sheepskin chamois and only ask a few "tough questions" while this monster just keeps asking him tough questions!

Let me repeat the headline fact: He's the current front-running Democrat for governor, and he says it's not fair to ask him about his actual record.

In my opinion, the funniest part of this interview is when Becerra tries to dismiss these criticisms of losing immigrant children as Trump-driven propaganda and the interviewer responds "that's from the New York Times."  Oh, man.

The Left hates free speech

Legal Insurrection: "UCLA Under Senate Investigation After Threatening Federalist Society Students - A dean’s threat to punish Federalist Society students if they released the names of disruptive protesters “violated the First Amendment.” 

Democrats believe in assassinations

Unless they fail and - unacceptably! - generate sympathy for the attacked: "Washington Post: 42% of Democrats Think the Butler PA Assassination Attempt that Killed One Man Was "Staged"." 

The one-time tax on billionaires...

...will be neither "one-time" nor only on billionaires.  Real Clear Policy: "California’s ‘Billionaire Tax’ Could Reach Far Beyond Billionaires." 

Never go full banana republic

PJ Media: "The Democrats’ Unhinged Response to the Virginia Ruling Tells You Everything."

That’s right, Democrats literally violated the state constitution to pass the gerrymander, yet they're blaming the Supreme Court of Virginia for calling them out on it. Two options emerged from the call. The first was a straightforward act of defiance — redraw the congressional lines anyway, despite the court having already struck them down.

The second was something out of a banana republic playbook: engineer the replacement of the entire Virginia Supreme Court, potentially through retirements or impeachment, then push through a newly constituted bench that would rubber-stamp the invalidated map. The New York Times described this as "an unusual gambit to replace the entire state Supreme Court, with a goal of reinstating their gerrymandered map."

That’s one way to put it.

The story I saw said the Democrats wanted to lower the retirement age to 54 (!) to clear out the entire Virginia Supreme Court, then install seven new justices.  This is sheer lunacy.
