I consider Victor Davis Hanson to be the premiere historian in America. There are a lot of really excellent historians in the nation, but history is a story, he has a quality so many of the rest lack. He tells a great story.    He asks if you wanted to destroy American, how would you go about it?  Then he gives you the answer by describing the disastrous polices of Joe Biden and the Democrats for the last four years, but he also lays the blame on Republicans, and rightly so.   This didn't just start in 2020, but the last four years was like comparing a runny nose with terminal cancer.   Make sure to watch his video. 

You Gotta Admit That Trump Is Packing Some Major Cajones  - Literally. Remember, if a Republican doesn’t win in 2028, the lawfare is back on and squared. His enemies tried to bankrupt him with lawsuits that would’ve been laughed out of the courts had the defendant not been Donald J. Trump. His enemies tried to frame him and throw him in jail for the rest of his life. When that didn’t work, they tried to kill him. Twice. 

His enemies managed to blow his ear lobe off and murder an innocent man who got in the way. Then the next one tried to do it with a rifle only because he couldn’t come up with the Stinger missile he wanted to get from his Ukrainian buddies.  Talk about high stakes. But Trump doesn’t care. Move over, honey badger. President 47 is in the house, and no Schiffs are given..........

But we need to appreciate the risk our President is taking to Make America Great Again. Trump is risking everything. We know because they’ve already tried to kill him, twice, and about half of them think killing him would be a great idea. That means that for President Trump, this is literally a matter of life and death, and the most awesome and inspiring thing is that he just doesn’t care..........

Last week, Senator Corey Booker "set a new record by delivering the longest speech ever in the history of the Senate", and the accolades poured in from the left.   The fact is, they can throw all the accolades at him they please, but the reality is the man talked for 25 hours and said nothing. How do I know that? Show me one quote the media, or his misfit colleagues keep repeating? Not one. 

 

Winston Churchill’s “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat” speech lasted minutes, and that phrase has been quoted for over eighty years.   Standing in front of the Brandenburg Gate in 1987 Ronald Reagan said, ”Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”, and it's been quoted ever since.   In 2018 Cory Booker said, “I am Spartacus”, and everyone laughed!   It's only quoted as proof he's an egomaniacal dolt, for which he’s now presented unquestioned confirmation. 

One commenter at American thinker said:

Quick! Someone post at least five things he said in those 25 hours’ worth repeating or that will go into a “Great quotes of politicians” book. His 25 hours was like camping out in the pasture with the jackass’s and cattle, a lot of noise that amounts to nothing. 

Yes, Booker is Democrat presidential timber for sure, right along with the rest of the Democrat bench.  Gavin Newsom, AOC, Buttigieg, Tampon Timmy Walz, Rahm Emanuel, Kamala Harris, and now it appears Jasmine Crockett is being thrown into the mix.   Senator John Kennedy says he thinks AOC is the leader of the Democrat party now, and he also thinks she's the reason why they put directions on shampoo bottles.  It gets better.  In spite of the influence AOC now has in the party, it's felt it will be Kamala in 2028.  Ya just gotta see the humor in that.  But nonetheless, it's being reported the machinery is already in the works, "but the moment she’s challenged she’ll fall apart again and primary voters will be reminded of what a lousy candidate she is and not want to take the risk."

This Rust Belt Revival piece was a good article, wisely outlining what society really wants: 

‘They want good jobs. They want their kids to do better than they do. They want to own a home. They want to pay down their debt. This isn’t hard.”  

And you’re right, it isn’t that hard to understand, if one wants to understand. Machiavelli noted almost 500 years ago the one foundational truth these elites keep ignoring.   Everything is the basics, the masses just want security. Why do they ignore it? Because the elites want “more”, and don’t care what the masses want or need.   Just like Henry Kissinger and his acolyte Klaus Schwab, who thinks there should be a world government that’s run like China, and in his case, run by China.  Their delusional ideology caused them to make decisions that are so destructive, it will take decades to overcome, and some may never entirely be overcome.

What about Greenland and Denmark?  This was an interesting article which described the unjustified arrogant thinking of the European elite, which has been going on since America was founded. Constantly looking down their noses at America, and entirely too many American leaders seeking their approval.  was a Anglophile, and like Teddy Roosevelt believed in two concepts:  "l'etat se moi", I am the state, and the Constitution is an impediment to human progress.

While publicly proclaiming he was not going to get America involved in WWI, in the background he was doing everything he could to make that happen.  America's involvement turned the tide against Germany because all of Europe was running out of young men to throw up against machine gun emplacements, and the added American demographic, rightly or wrongly, doomed Germany.   That laid the foundation for WWII, and the cold war.  

As the years went by I got sick of hearing "America's allies abroad" don't like this or don't like that.  And I really got sick of hearing these nitwits saying: “when will America learn” this or “when will America learn” that. Learn from who? These European failures?   

America's allies abroad are now and have always been leaky vessels, money grubbing, ungrateful, incompetent failures that only exist because America spent thousands of gallons of blood and trillions of dollars saving them - militarily and economically - and that economic number goes into multiple trillions of dollars as a result of the Bretton Woods thinking. Yet, with their idiotic globalist economic policies, compounded with their multiculturalism, green, and immigration policies, they’ve thrown that away.

Many Americans have recognized who and what European leadership is really all about, and have been tired of their arrogant stupidity for decades.  Make no mistake, I really don’t care what Denmark, a nation with a population of 5.947 million thinks. In Ohio we have 11.88 million, and we think much better than Denmark, or Europe as a whole for that matter.  Europe is doomed, and good riddance, they’ve been leech on America for over 100 years, and that ends now, but Greenland is an issue that can’t and won’t go away. 

 

Truman should have taken it over during WWII, since Germany conquered Denmark, thus it longer existed as an independent nation, and had no say in anything.  They surrendered and had no government in exile.  In spite of the fact Truman was an avid history buff, he was always over his head when it came to geopolitics.

A third Trump term? This is all deliberate Trump hyperbole, and it just ain’t gonna happen. He does love to stir up the pot though. What’s strange is the more he does it the better he look. This could be an edition of Ripley’s Believe it or Not. 

More information is being rolled out about the corruption of the Deep State, especially the FBI.  The conspiracy theorists were right, federal agents were most likely involved in January 6 "Riots:", and the official version of events seriously need to be answered, and the fact is there needs to be a serious investigation nationally as to why the police stand and do nothing while Antifa thugs violently attack conservative students at UC Davis.  Who's responsible for this?  There needs to be lawsuits filed, right along with criminal charges, and officials need to be fired.  

The number of rulings from SCOTUS and these rogue district court justices has been coming fast and furious, and this one, The Supreme Court affirms Justice Boasberg lacked jurisdiction over Trump's deportation decision under the Alien Enemies act.  This ruling is a mixed bag, and it’s time to fix this by Congress passing a law stating the judiciary has exceeded it’s Constitution authority and has no jurisdiction in this matter, and are now in the process of doing so.  They also need to state this law cannot be reviewed by the courts, which the Congress has the right to do, and has done so in the past.    

All this clabber by the federal judiciary is blatant nonsense.  There’s only one thing that needs to be determined about these migrants, and that is if they’re here illegally or not. If they're here illegally then they’re alien criminals and they have no rights under the Constitution, and deportation should be automatic with absolutely no redress from the courts. 

I find this decision by SCOTUS most baffling.   Supreme Court Orders US to Facilitate Return of Alleged El Salvadoran MS-13 Gang Member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.   The man was here illegally, which in itself should be enough to justify his deportation.  His M13 cohorts identified him as a high ranking gang member and yet SCOTUS ruled unanimously..... unanimously mind you......  he has to be returned!  What am I missing here?  First, these judges have absolutely no jurisdiction over the foreign nations to where these criminals have been deported. Secondly, just exactly how does SCOTUS think they can force the government to enact their decision? 

All of which becomes even more convoluted since now Mahmoud Khalil, who was a leading figure in antisemitic pro Hamas campus riots, and who adamantly hates America can be deported, and he's outraged at this "injustice".  Imagine that!   He lost even though he was defended by high priced lawyers who tried to shop this case to a friendly judge, but SCOTUS has ruled that can't be done now.  To quote Dan Rather:  "Questions remain".  Such as who funded those lawyers? 

For decades the judiciary has been taking more power than the founding fathers ever intended, or the Constitution allows, but now they’ve become out of control revolutionaries, and that has to be stopped, and stopped now. This is a window of opportunity, and it’s not taken advantage of that window may close and may never open again, along with ending all this vile lawfare activity, in which it seems abundantly clear, these judges are complicit in this corruption of the rule of law.  All of which is right out of the leftists playbook for the imposition of tyranny, and the goal of destroying individual rights in favor of absolute control of society practiced by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and every tyrant that ever lived.   

• Anti-Trump lawfare: yes, it's a conspiracy - It seems certain federal district judges have no such powers.  Federal judges across the country are being cherry picked in a jurisdiction shopping scheme in furtherance of Democrat’s lawfare campaign against President Trump. Its goal is to use Democrat judges who can be relied upon to ignore the Constitution and the law in favor of imposing Democrat policy, subverting Trump’s legitimate Article II powers. In essence, district court judges are imposing their Democrat political preferences, appointing themselves president. In so doing, they’re preventing President Trump from exercising his Constitutional powers and enacting the will of the voters.

Read "Into the Whirlwind", chapter six of Tony Judt’s Postwar, A History of Europe since 1945, if you want to see just how vile and monstrous these lunatics can twist and warp the law, the prosecutors, and the courts. 

This week I have seven articles of my own, and twenty three other commentaries, and I've added a fifth permanent link regarding the national debt, and a sixth for wisdom's sake.  Last week my computer was in the shop so there was no P&D and The Week That Was.  I still wished to highlight the articles for that week and went back and posted an updated P&D for that week, with five articles of my own and seventeen by others, enjoy!

Have a great weekend, and best wishes to all persons of good will and honest heart.

Constant as the North Star

Crooked Cory Won’t Shut Up

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour congressional floor rant is being hailed as a major achievement, but nobody has ever questioned Booker’s ability to talk endlessly. It’s his greatest talent.
That and making other people’s money disappear.

The 25 hours of rambling summed up everything wrong with Booker as a politician and a man. Booker and his media allies tried to bill it as a filibuster, but it wasn’t because the senator from New Jersey wasn’t trying to fight an actual piece of legislation, just calling attention to himself.

Booker claimed that he was blocking the usual business of the Senate, but the only thing he was slowing down was the nomination of various officials, including Harmeet Dhillon for Assistant Attorney General, Matthew Whitaker as the representative to NATO, and Dean Sauer for the Solicitor General. In his 25 hours and 4 minutes, Booker did not actually have much to say about Sauer, Dhillon or Whitaker (who won his confirmation by 52-45 despite Booker’s ‘nay’ vote).

Cory Booker made a point of trying to break the record of Strom Thurmond’s filibuster of the Civil Rights Act. Except that was an actual filibuster of actual legislation. Booker pretended that just running out the clock by talking for an hour longer than Thurmond was in and of itself an accomplishment.

Why did Booker actually ramble for 25 hours in the Senate? To run for president.

As stunts go, this was the most obvious one yet. Booker’s next Senate election is in 2026, but he has a campaign page up which claims that “he cannot stay quiet and complacent while Donald Trump and Elon Musk shatter constitutional checks and balances” and urges, “Stand with Cory by making a donation today.” But his obvious long-term goal is 2028.

There’s a problem with Booker’s presidential aspirations. And it’s not just that every time he speaks, he reminds everyone of an unsuccessful Obama.

It’s his corrupt track record.

While Booker was boring the Senate, one of the staffers for the militant gun control politician was being arrested by the U.S. Capitol Police for carrying a gun without a license. The last time Booker ran for president, he proposed a federal gun licensing program for all gun owners that would expire and need to be renewed every five years. Presumably his staffers are exempt.

Like Obama, you’re expected to believe in Booker as a transformative politician, but even Obama knew better than to massively defraud his donors before running for president.

In 2010, Cory Booker, then mayor of Newark, went on Oprah with Mark Zuckerberg. The Facebook boss wrote a $100 million check to fix Newark’s schools. The money famously disappeared, including some $20 million spent on consultants, some who were being paid $1,000 a day, and grades actually declined. But millions were spent on polling and focus groups.

“MZ’s money is not going in to classrooms,” a Booker aide admitted in an email that was only released after a lawsuit by the ACLU.

But what happened next was even more blatantly corrupt.

After burning through Zuckerberg’s $100 million, Cory Booker turned to Oprah and Dot Com donors to raise millions for Waywire, a company that was supposed to be a “progressive” version of YouTube. Waywire employed Booker’s Senate campaign social media consultant and gave a board seat to the 15-year-old son of CNN boss Jeff Zucker.

As Freedom Center Investigates reported, Waywire failed miserably and Booker sold his stock to the parent company of FOX News, and donated shares of Yandex, Russia’s top search engine, linked to Putin. (In his 25-hour rant and previously, Booker had accused Trump of ties to Russia.) Waywire ended up with a Ukrainian owner and no longer exists. Neither do Booker’s donors.

Booker had burned through Silicon Valley cash through such blatant schemes that his presidential campaign failed to launch. The big money just was not there.

In the 2020 race, Booker didn’t qualify for the debate and was left begging for money before dropping out. “It’s working,” he told the media about his campaign “it’s not translating to people choosing me in the polls.” That is as good a ‘Bookerism’ as any other.

But somehow neither of these two grifts represented Sen. Cory Booker at his very worst.

That would be the Newark Water Group.

During his fake filibuster, Sen. Cory Booker bragged to the media that he had gotten through it by “curbing his water intake”. Sadly, that was not the case at the nonprofit tasked with managing the Newark water authority where he appointed his political allies who stole millions “through kickbacks and outright embezzlement, bogus contracts, risky investments and excessive pay”.

Money went to Booker’s law firm which was still paying him and contractors contributed to his political campaign. The agency’s executive director, who went to prison after taking nearly a million in kickbacks, told the FBI that their job was to raise campaign money for Booker.

Booker was sued by the reconstructed agency, but his lawyers argued that he’s immune from lawsuits because he was doing his work as a “public servant”.

“The consequence of a failure to uphold these immunities would dissuade an even wider swath of individuals from seeking to hold public office. This would impoverish our democracy,” Booker’s attorneys argued.

This little speech about why not holding a wealthy senator who wrecked a water agency that a minority community depended on accountable is “vital for democracy” did not make its way into Cory’s 25-hour speech.

Sen. Cory Booker claimed that his 25-hour talk was about holding President Trump accountable for violating democratic norms, but his idea of democratic norms is personal immunity for his conduct.

In his last financial disclosure, Booker revealed assets of around $1 million, but reporters know to take his disclosures with a grain of salt. When he first ran for Senate, Booker did not reveal his Waywire shares on his disclosure forms and only admitted it when the media found out about them.

Booker told the media that his campaign had “met requirements for disclosure and transparency and we’ve gone above and beyond what most of the—all of the candidates in this race have submitted to in terms of disclosure.” By that he meant that his campaign handed the papers to reporters in a hotel room, didn’t let them make copies, and then demanded them back. Typical behavior for a politician who has gone above and beyond and has nothing to hide.

Crooked Cory will talk for 25 hours about Trump’s money, he won’t talk for even 1 minute about where his money comes from. But Oprah knows. Mark Zuckerberg knows. And the people of Newark know

And Linda Watkins Brashear knows. The former director of the Newark Water Group got out of federal prison last year told the FBI that contractors were expected to buy $500 tickets to Booker’s campaign and his allies.

Funny how in 25 hours and 5 years, Booker never found the time to mention it.

Cory Booker Supports Abortion Because 'Women Are People'

Bronson Stocking Dec 28, 2019

Democratic candidate for president Cory Booker tweeted on Saturday that he supports abortion and encouraged other men to support the barbaric procedure as well because, as Cory sees it, "women are people."

To borrow from AOC, Keep going Cory. You’re so close to getting it.

Abortion rights shouldn’t matter to men because women are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends. They should matter to men—to everyone—because women are people.

— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) December 28, 2019

To be fair, Cory's argument makes about as much sense as every other pro-abortion argument under the sun. If abortion did not involve the killing of another human being, a lot of the "it's just my body" nonsense might resonate with people whose mothers did not kill them during pregnancy......To Read More.... 



My Take - Intellectually, Cory Booker is a seriously flawed person.

Cory Booker Belongs in Jail Over Newark’s Water Crisis

Posted by Daniel Greenfield 1 Comments Sunday, September 15, 2019 @ Sultan Knish Blog

Don’t drink the water in Newark.

The only thing worse than the crime and corruption in the New Jersey city that gave the nation Cory Booker is its drinking water. First, they found lead in the water in schools and then in people’s homes.

In some homes the lead content in the water is four times higher than the federal limit.

And Cory Booker, the Senator from New Jersey, running to run the country, is blaming racism.

"Newark's water emergency demands our federal government's immediate attention. Everyone
deserves clean, safe water - it's shameful that our national crisis of lead-contaminated water disproportionately hits poor black and brown communities like my own," Booker tweeted.

Did a “national crisis” cause Newark’s clean water crisis?

Booker probably forgot that he had served as the ex-officio chairman of the Newark Watershed Conservation and Development Corporation. It's understandable that Spartacus forgot all about it because while he was running Newark, he never actually attended a single NWCDC meeting.

And, after a while, he stopped even pretending to send a representative.

The NWCDC was being paid $10 million a year to manage Newark’s water.

Linda Watkins-Brashear, a Booker ally and donor, worked as the director of the NWCDC. At least until she was arrested, tried and convicted in a $1 million kickback scheme. The scandal broke during Booker’s final year in office. And the NWCDC, Board of Trustees, which he was supposed to be overseeing, took swift action by dissolving the board, and writing a $450,000 check to Brashear.

It was Brashear’s second severance package. The first one, of $200,000, came when she left for three weeks while still continuing to receive her salary. That was the same year Booker took office.

Nice work if you can get it.

By the end, Booker hadn’t even bothered sending representatives to NWCDC board meetings, which were being illegally decided by three people, while handing his political ally years of no-bid contracts.

Brashear had donated thousands of dollars to Booker and volunteered on his campaign. And she used the organization that was supposed to oversee Newark’s clean water to write $200,000 in checks to herself, lose $558,000 in high risk margin trading, give her ex-husband a $332,000 no-bid interior design contract, loan $20,000 to the National Black United Fund, and cover a lobster and cognac dinner.

And now, mysteriously and inexplicably, there’s a “national crisis” of lead in Newark’s water.

You can have clean water for the people or cognac for Democrat fixers, but not both.

It truly is shameful that this “national crisis” of Cory Booker’s corrupt political allies stealing money meant to ensure clean water “disproportionately hits poor black and brown communities”.

President Cory Booker will make sure that the “national crisis” will affect people of all races when his crooked Democrat associates are running the country the way that they ran Newark.

Booker is black. As is Brashear.

As is Donald Bernard Sr., the senior projects manager of NWCDC, who was sentenced to 8 years in prison after pleading guilty to accepting $1 million in bribes from contractors.

Clearly, this is a national crisis of environmental racism.

How did the NWCDC get away with this for so long?

Its general counsel, Elnardo Webster II, was Booker's former law partner, friend and advisor. Elnardo was working for Trenk, DiPasquale, Della Fera & Sodono, which was also Booker’s former law firm. While the firm was making a fortune from city contracts, including for NWCDC, it was paying Booker $700,000.

A judge levied major fines against Booker’s former law firm over its NWCDC work.

Yes, this “national crisis” of Cory Booker’s sleaziness must be urgently addressed as he now holds an office in the national government and would like an even bigger national office.

“Newark's water emergency demands our federal government's immediate attention,” insists Booker, who never attended a single meeting of the organization that was supposed to be overseeing it.

And which he was supposed to be overseeing.

According to Booker, who spent most of his time in office alternating between Twitter and Oprah, he just couldn’t find the time. Clean water never got his attention, immediate or otherwise.

Back in May, Cory Booker had introduced the Water Infrastructure Funding Transfer Bill to help Newark move money around. "Communities across the country don't have clean drinking water, and those communities are disproportionately low-income and communities of color,” he claimed.

“This is an environmental justice issue.”

It’s not an environmental justice issue. It’s a criminal justice issue.

A normal person who chaired a board of trustees that committed flagrant illegalities, overseeing an organization where millions of dollars were stolen by one of his donors, and received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a disgraced law firm connected to the scandal, all of which put the public at risk, would not be appearing running for President. He would be in prison.

The environment didn’t cause this. It’s not a national crisis that somehow “hit” Newark. It’s not racial discrimination against “communities of color”.

Cory Booker keeps trying to blame racism for the actions of his corrupt political associates. And the Democrats keep acting as if their corruption is some sort of national problem to be blamed on us all.

Edward McRae, an NWCDC employee, set up a landscaping company to get NWCDC contracts, even though he had no experience in landscaping.

He didn't even buy landscaping equipment until he got the landscaping contract.

How did Eddie get so lucky?

McRae said that he met Brashear while working on an unstated political campaign and heard that it was raining contracts. It’s unknown whose campaign it was, but it was certainly a Democrat campaign.

While Booker’s pals were robbing the NWCDC blind, they knew better than to actually drink the water.

The OSC investigation found that public funds weren't just being used to buy lobster, filet magnon and cognac, but $534 for imported drinking water from Florida.

Booker is right. It is shameful.

It’s shameful that the former party of segregation fastened on to black communities like a leech while blaming its corruption on racism and an imaginary national crisis. It’s shameful that the media promoted Booker’s routine as a progressive social media guru while failing to hold him accountable.

And it’s shameful that Booker and his political allies have no shame.

Instead of apologizing, Cory Booker is trying to shift the blame for his action and inaction to all Americans. He’s trying to blame racism, instead of blaming his thieving donors and allies.

When the NWCDC was stealing money meant for clean water, Booker pretended he knew nothing. Now he knows that bottled water is being handed out in Newark because of a national crisis of racist water.

Before Brashear was sentenced to 8 years in prison for stealing almost $2 million, her lawyer claimed that, “there is no crime here”.

Hundreds of cities, and thousands of agencies and organizations across the country have been robbed by Democrat politicians, donors and activists, the same way that Booker’s pals robbed Newark.

But there’s never a crime. It’s always a “national crisis” that gets blamed on social problems and racism.

When the schools don’t work (the $100 million that Mark Zuckerberg plugged into Newark’s schools on Booker’s behalf might as well have been set on fire), and the power is out, and there’s no clean water, when residents aren’t evacuated ahead of a hurricane and the buildings are falling apart, it’s racism.

It’s never the fault of the Democrats who are responsible for the schools, the buildings and the water.

If only we cared enough, the media tells us, children wouldn’t be drinking water with lead. If only we paid higher taxes and sacrificed more, Booker’s associates would have been able to drink twice as much cognac and gorge on twice as much lobster, king crab and filet mignon.

And now, despite years of EPA warnings, Booker is demanding that the federal government get involved. He’s right again. The federal government ought to get involved. And it ought to involve handcuffs.

Cory Booker doesn’t belong in the White House. He belongs in prison.

Why Harris, Booker, and Klobuchar will never be President

September 3, 2019 By Patricia McCarthy

The calculated Russia hoax devised to bring down a presidential candidate, president-elect and then president, is the most serious and egregious political scandal in US history. Second may be the Kavanaugh hearings. So determined to not let Brett Kavanaugh be seated on the Supreme Court, the demented Left decided to invent an equally monstrous lie to prevent the confirmation of Trump's choice for the Justice to replace Anthony Kennedy.

I think that every Democrat on that committee had to know that the accusations against Kavanaugh were false, that Blasey-Ford was a plant, a willing dupe in the Democrat scheme to destroy a good man for their political purposes. The entire fiasco was so unspeakable that in a just world, all the perpetrators would be in prison for fraud, Diane Feinstein among them.

Three of those perpetrators are currently candidates for President, Harris, Booker and Klobuchar. Each of them was party to and is guilty of callously trying to destroy a good man with a hoax as false as the Trump-colluded-with-Russia deception.

 Every Democrat on that committee who so delighted in sliming Justice Kavanaugh is a disgrace; not one of them deserves a seat in the Senate, let alone the Oval Office. Each of them is as diabolical as the cabal that hatched the Russia hoax to take Trump down and out. Not one of them should be seeking the highest office in the land. Like Comey, Brennan, Clapper, et. al., they too should be headed for prison.

They had to know that Blasey-Ford's ridiculous allegations were nonsense, fabricated end entirely unproveable. And still they went for the jugular, despite Kavanaugh's parents, wife and daughters being in the room. Contemptible hardly describes the character of these people and the rest of the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. They all embarrassed themselves. They should all be held responsible for their abject lack of ethics. ..........To Read More.... 

My Take - The author goes on to say this corrupt spectacle by these leftists should be a warning to the American public as to what the Democrat party has become.  Unfortunately it wasn't for many.  In point of fact many loved this outrage to destroy an honorable man, not to mention the pain this must have caused his family.  My grandfather used to watch the news and shake his head and say in Serbian, "no shame", at such behavior. That was the ultimate insult from him.  

What's even sadder - these disgustingly corrupt misfitswill undoubtedly be re-elected by their constituents, who are equally disgusting misfits,  but America isn't made up of corrupt leftist misfits, and none of them will ever be President of the United States. 

Cory Booker Says Gun Control Will Bring 'Freedom'

By Susan Jones | August 15, 2019

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), one of many Democrats running for his party's presidential nomination, says gun control will restore freedom to the American people.
Booker told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Wednesday night that in Newark, New Jersey -- where Booker once served as mayor -- people would show him bullet holes in their windows:

"It creates an environment so crippled by fear and trauma that on the Fourth of July in communities like mine across this country, you have people who hear fireworks, and parents will tell you, their children dive for cover. They cower. They hide..........To Read More.....

AOC chief admits 'Green New Deal' about socialism, not climate

It's 'a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing'

By Art Moore

The “Green New Deal” co-sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is promoted by its supporters as a means to help save the planet from “climate change.”   But Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff has admitted what should be apparent to anyone who examines its prescriptions: The plan’s true objective is to radically transform America’s free-enterprise economy into a socialist system.

The acknowledgment by Chakrabarti came in an exchange reported by the Washington Post with Sam Ricketts, who directs climate policy for Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.

The Post explained that Ricketts met with Chakrabarti this spring after Ocasio-Cortez called Inslee’s climate-change plan the “gold standard” in policy.

“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said............. Klein noted a Senate resolution on the Green New Deal was co-sponsored by six 2020 presidential candidates: Sens. Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar.

He argued that while Ocasio-Cortez and her allies are free to make the case for why the U.S. should move toward a socialist economy, they don’t have a right to use the pretext of a global emergency to do so.................To Read More...

How Cory Booker's Dot Com Get Rich Quick Scheme Cost Him 2020

Posted by Daniel Greenfield 6 Comments Sunday, June 16, 2019 @ Sultan Knish Blog

In 2010, Mayor Cory Booker and Mark Zuckerberg were sitting across from Oprah while the Facebook boss announced a $100 million donation to Newark’s failing public schools. When the two men next met up, in a prominent forum, Senator Booker was questioning Zuckerberg about Facebook’s role in racism. The $100 million had long since vanished. So had the friendship between Zuckerberg and Booker.

And the money is drying up too.

Beto O’Rourke was able to raise $6.1 million within 24 hours of his campaign launch while Booker struggled to make $5 in his first fundraising quarter. Once upon a time, Booker owned Silicon Valley. The connections that he made would once upon a time have given him a huge war chest right from the start.

Booker’s problem was that he got greedy. And he failed.

The former isn’t necessarily a crime in an industry that wears a patina of altruism over the mass defrauding of everyone in sight. But failure carries a price. And 6 years later, Booker is still paying it.

Some of his old pals in the industry are still sticking by him. LinkedIn co-founder and old classmate Reid Hoffman and former Google boss Eric Schmidt are still helping him. But it’s not enough. Booker’s ties with them go back to his Waywire days. And that forgotten chapter in his career may help explain why an industry that once loved Booker is so cool to him. And why Oprah doesn’t call much anymore.

Booker, Zuckerberg and Oprah made a strange trio. Booker, Oprah, and the big bosses at Google and LinkedIn also made a strange group. But they were among the investors for Booker’s Waywire.

Waywire was supposed to be a more “progressive” version of YouTube that would click with young people. Oprah, Schmidt and Hoffman helped raise $1.75 million for the site. Even while Booker was serving as the mayor of a failed city, he had used celebrity and tech pals to create a company in which he owned a share of as much as $5 million. Not that he seemed to want anyone to know about it.

Booker failed to disclose the shares, the bulk of his financial assets, in his disclosure forms. He only disclosed them on the day that the New York Times ran a piece revealing his dubious behavior.

Despite his seemingly marginal status at Waywire, Booker received a larger stake than the people who were actually running it. It employed his Senate campaign social media consultant, and gave a board seat to the 15-year-old son of CNN boss Jeff Zucker, raising questions about whether Waywire was even a real company or a platform for a future presidential campaign.

There’s good reason to think that Waywire was a failed plan for a different kind of campaign.

Its stated business model was too stupid for tech royalty to invest money in it. Waywire would either push corporate video content to teens or form the core of a movement. One of its founders had compared Cory Booker to MLK.

“Social media is a movement,” she had claimed, “and Cory Booker is a leader in this movement.”

Not so much.

Waywire failed miserably. A year after its launch, it managed a little over 2,000 visitors in one month. Whatever money was poured into it was wasted. It never rivaled YouTube or even helped Booker. But, had it succeeded, Cory Booker would have figured out how to make a fortune while accepting unlimited donations for a campaign platform. It was a Silicon Valley plan for a political operation.

By 2016, Booker would have been a billionaire with a popular millennial video platform. Even if Waywire hadn’t been more than an also-ran, Google might have still acquired it for hundreds of millions.

All Booker had to do was harness his popularity to deliver better traffic than 2,000 visitors a month.

But his investors didn’t get in on the ground floor of a campaign operation slash huge payoff. Like Mark Zuckerberg in 2010, they ended up being shmucks who lost money believing in a political scam artist.

Not that we know for certain. Booker’s finances exist in their own black hole.

That year, in 2013, as he prepped his senate race, his campaign announced, after pressure from Republican opponents, that he would be releasing 15 years of tax returns. By releasing, the Booker campaign meant that it handed copies to reporters in a Newark hotel room, didn’t let them make copies, and then demanded them back. The typical behavior of a politician with nothing to hide.

Booker also announced that he was stepping down from Waywire and donating his shares to charity. It’s unclear which charities he donated them to or how much they were worth, but that same year saw a boom in his charitable donations. In 2013, he recorded an incredibly generous $469,906 in donations.

That was a truly impressive amount for a year in which he had only made $540,000 while claiming $241,917 in charitable deductions. He paid $72,292 in federal taxes and got a $3,210 refund. Much of those donations seemed to involve stocks and were uncharacteristic for his current donation profile.

The tax returns, no longer secret, reveal that Booker had sold his stock in Newscorp, the parent company of FOX News, and Lone Pine Resources, an oil and gas exploration company. He had also donated shares of Yandex, Russia’s top search engine, linked to Putin, to local charities.

Booker was getting rid of his politically inconvenient investments.

Next year’s tax returns revealed shares of Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Netflix.

Waywire failed downwards, trading hands, probably for stock value, landing with a Ukrainian owner.

It no longer exists.

There have been no huge public breaks with Booker over Waywire. Just a general coolness. Oprah once lavished Booker with gobs of attention. Now she sat down for an interview and helped out in his Senate race. But the groundbreaking push that helped make Obama and Booker into national figures is absent.

Silicon Valley still donates, but the former Stanford pal is no longer the industry’s big bet.

Cory Booker is polling at 2% in New Hampshire. Even in South Carolina, what ought to be his strongest state, his numbers dropped, cut in half, to 4%. His RCP average is equally miserable.

His fundraising lags behind all of the major candidates. And even one of the minor ones.

Waywire may help explain why.

Back in the day, Booker boasted of how easy it was to raise $1.75 million for Waywire because of the “power of the idea”. The idea however, like so much of digital publishing, was silly. The aspiring politician tapped into resources he would have needed now in the hopes of getting very rich.

Instead, he miscalculated. Badly.

Since then, the former darling of Silicon Valley has reinvented himself as an unconvincing critic of the industry. But every Booker reinvention is equally unconvincing. And nobody buys it anymore.

The former icon has pumped and dumped his way through politics, industries and entertainment.

For a brief and shining moment, Booker had a possible $5 million stake in the next big thing. Then his investors realized that there was nothing there. Not in Waywire or in Booker. Both were equally hollow.

Cory Booker is still burning cash chasing his White House dream. But he lost that opportunity in 2013. And when 2020 wraps, he will have burned through his donors and possibilities, and be truly worthless.

Candidates See Land of the Free or of the Freeloader?

The lessons of 2016 remain lost on them.                   

                           

by Daniel J. Flynn April 26, 2019

Whoever said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch never said it to the various presidential hopefuls aiming to unseat the current occupant of the Oval Office. And whoever says it now risks issuing a warning misunderstood as a challenge.

Elizabeth Warren proposes free college tuition and debt forgiveness for student loans. “The entire cost of my broad debt cancellation plan and universal free college is more than covered by my Ultra-Millionaire Tax,” Warren explains. “For decades, we’ve allowed the wealthy to pay less while burying tens of millions of working Americans in education debt. It’s time to make different choices.”

Numerous candidates, including Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, and Cory Booker, support Bernie Sanders’s Medicare for All proposal, which commits the federal government to providing healthcare to everyone as it outlaws the insurers who currently provide such coverage to most. The bill prohibits “a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act” and for “an employer to provide benefits for an employee, former employee, or the dependents of an employee or former employee that duplicate the benefits provided under this Act.”..............

The whole “Make America Great Again” mantra connected with voters because Americans felt that opportunities open to them in the past had begun to close. Whereas Trump stressed opportunity, and perhaps more specifically opportunities denied, Democrats now fixate on inequality, a related but not equivalent phenomenon. The fixes they offer for their fixation threaten to transform the land of the free into the land of the freeloader............To Read More....



 

Mayor Buttigieg Runs for President While His City Bleeds

What the media isn’t reporting about a 2020 candidate from a failed city.

April 5, 2019 Daniel Greenfield   253 

On March 31, a South Bend grandma brought her grandson to the hospital. The 11-month-old baby boy had been shot. His grandmother’s car had also taken fire. It was another early morning in South Bend.  Around the same time, Mayor Buttigieg, was toting up the $7 million in donations from his charm offensive as his bid for the 2020 Democrat nomination got underway. The national media never bothered reporting the shooting of an 11-month-old boy in the city he was supposed to be running, but instead confined its coverage of South Bend matters to a publicity stunt wedding officiated by Buttigieg.............

While Chicago is notorious for its murder rate, in 2015, Buttigieg’s South Bend actually topped Chicago’s 16.4 homicides per 100,000 people with a homicide rate of 16.79 per 100,000 people. Those numbers put Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s city on the list of the top 30 murder capitals in the country for the year.  By 2017, shootings had risen 20% on Mayor Buttigieg’s watch. Rapes increased 27% and aggravated assaults rose from 183 in 2013, the year before Buttigieg took office, to a stunning 563 assaults.............

 Mayor Buttigieg excels at buzzwords and gimmicks. He’s just terrible at actually running a city.
That’s why property crime in South Bend is rising. It’s why the city is overrun with gangs. It’s why South Bend is poor, blighted and miserable. Violence is just one of the many symptoms of Buttigieg’s failures.............Like South Bend’s poverty and crime statistics, these are figures that the media doesn’t report because it would reveal that their shiny new candidate is a hollow façade with nothing inside except spin...........To Read More....

Whatta Bunch of Phony Baloneys

by Dov Fischer March 17, 2019

Have you ever seen so much mendacity and womendacity at once? Whatta bunch of phony baloneys!

It was bound to happen in the Democrat-Left Age of Intersectionality. In an era where you lose “society-advantage points” for being White, more points for being male, more for having progenitor roots anywhere in Europe, and a few more for being all three plus “straight”… In such a society, it was bound to happen that imposters would start emerging — even among candidates for the nation’s highest office and among their biggest donors — claiming false identities. Remember Rachel Dolezal, the Caucasian of European lineage, who rose to head an NAACP chapter by falsely presenting as Black? Now they all seem to be prescribed medical formulations of Dolezal.

Let’s start with Beto the Skate-o. I initially was fooled into thinking that Beto O’Rourke was some Mexican-American, or whatever, who was running in Texas for Senate against Ted Cruz. Who names a kid “Beto” if not a Hispanic family? There are no “Beto” personalities in the Bible. I figured the guy was Latino, maybe Chicano, pitching for that vote down in El Paso..............Turns out that this guy is the Most White Privileged Male in the whole country! How many Americans know this about “El Beto”?...........To Read More....

The Mayors of the Worst Cities in America are Running for President

Does anyone really want America to be more like Tallahassee, South Bend or Newark? 

January 31, 2019  Daniel Greenfield 

 

Newark is the most dangerous city in New Jersey, Tallahassee is the most dangerous city in Florida, and South Bend is the most dangerous city in Indiana. But instead of fixing their failed cities, the current mayor of South Bend, and the former mayors of Newark and Tallahassee want to run for president.

 

Mayor Peter Buttigieg has announced that he’s forming an exploratory committee for a 2020 run. Media reports have focused on the possibility that he might become America’s first gay millennial president, instead of on the fact that he’s headed a city since 2011 which has double the national and statewide violent crime rates. And a city where Hispanic poverty rates are 10% higher than the national average, African-American households have double the poverty rate, and Asian-American incomes are halved.

 

South Bend was recently rated one of the “worst cities” to live in. The unemployment rates are higher than average, the property values are lower, and even the water quality is below average.

Gushing media reports about the gay millennial mayor, a Harvard grad and a Rhodes scholar, overlook South Bend’s poverty rate of 24.7% and that 45% of households are living near the poverty level............To Read More.....

Cory Booker accused of sexual assault ... by a man?

October 21, 2018 By Monica Showalter

Sen. Spartacus Booker of New Jersey is shaping to be quite a piece of work. After grandstanding through the Senate confirmation hearings about the evils of sexual harassment as he sat there in high-eyed judgment on the blameless Judge Brett Kavanaugh, calling himself 'Spartacus' for his feigned moral courage, he found himself exposed as a hypocrite as word of his 1992 first-person essay about how he sexually harassing a woman made its way back to print, in that Internet-is-forever reality. Not much moral authority over Kavanaugh, pal. Now it's gotten even worse: Some man has come out and said Booker sexually assaulted him, in 2014. According to GatewayPundit, which has a four-page written statement from the still-anonymous victim:...........Read more

My Take - Is this "anonymous victim" believable? Probably not, and actually I'm going to be shocked if it is true.  But truth no longer matters.  What seems reasonable and rational no longer matters. We now live under an eleventh commandment.  Booker has been accused and now we must believe the accusation, no evidence is necessary, just believe because now, according to Booker and his mob, an accusation is enough.

So following the Booker commandment - I hereby denounce Booker as a grandstander, posturer, attention-seeker, and sexual predator, who must apologize for his egregious behavior and resign, whether he did it or not. Isn't that the new commandment laid down by Booker and company?

Cory Booker says 'he 'can’t stand how they’re out-Americaning us in Canada'

By Rick Moran October 19, 2018

Senator Cory Booker, a probable candidate for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, can't hide his admiration for Canada - or his ignorance about America.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), a possible 2020 candidate for president, said that he “can’t stand how they’re out-Americaning us in Canada” during a speech at Allen University in South Carolina on Thursday.

“Every country we are competing with is driving down the cost of college. Germany – it cost between zero and four percent of median income to go to college,” Booker said. “Canada – I can’t stand how they’re out-Americaning us in Canada. Trudeau – give me a break.”

Booker goes on to say that other countries are “out-Americaning” the United States because they want to build a great economy for everybody. Canada is a beautiful country with wonderful people. But its unemployment rate is twice that of the US and its per capita income is only 2/3 that of America. I daresay that Booker's admiration for Canada is not only misplaced, but indicative of a deeper animus toward the United States..............Read more

Senator Cory Booker and "The Only Good Zionist is a Dead Zionist"

By Daniel Greenfield 0 Comments Sunday, September 16, 2018 @ Sultan Knish Blog

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing was the beginning of the Democrat 2020 primaries, and the winner was the Senate Democrat who yelled the worst possible thing.

That was Senator Cory Booker.

Unlike some Senate Dems, Booker didn’t just confine his attack to Brett Kavanaugh, a mild-mannered man widely beloved by both the Democrats and Republicans who worked with him, he went for broke.

The Founding Fathers were racist geniuses, Booker insisted. Their constitution was flawed. Originalism, interpreting the Constitution as it was written, rather than whatever social justice activist the Dems had managed to plant on the bench, is going to be racist and sexist, because its authors were deplorables.

“Native Americans were referred to as savages, women weren’t referred to at all, African Americans were referred to as fractions of human beings. As one civil-rights activist used to say ‘constitutu, constitu, I can only say three-fifths of the word,’” Booker bloviated.

Who is this “civil rights activist”? A violent racist who had called Adolf Hitler “the greatest white man”.

You can see why Booker might have hesitated a bit when using him to bolster his claim that the Founding Fathers of this country were flawed racist sexist men. Even though, unlike Booker’s civil rights hero, they didn’t admire Hitler or call for the mass murder of Jews.

Senator Cory Booker doesn’t yawn without first rehearsing it before three staff members and two consultants to extract the maximum amount of pathos from each fake gesture. He had been regularly delivering the same attack on the Constitution as a stump speech. You can find Senator Cory Booker bleating the same basic remarks last March at SXSW before a much friendlier lefty audience.

“Look, our founding documents are saturated — unfortunately — are scene with replete through them, these examples all those darker strains of human nature,” Booker held forth at SXSW. “Native Americans are referred to as savages, women aren’t referred to at all. Blacks are, you know Stokely Carmichael used to say, constitute constitute I can only say three fifths of the word.”

Booker appeared to have also quoted Carmichael in June of last year and again in July of this year.

There are examples going back several years, with Booker saying, “Stokely Carmichael said it best: we are the leaders we’ve been looking for.”

In a July interview this year, his Stokelyite attack on the Constitution was even harsher. “Yeah, if you read the Declaration of Independence now, you see the Native Americans referred to as “savages.” And women are clearly, by their omission, a second-class citizenry. Stokely Carmichael — I love how he used to always say, ‘Constitu-, constitu- — I can only say three-fifths of the word.’”

But the sneering line about the Constitution isn’t Stokely’s most famous quote.

Two others are way ahead of it: “The only good Zionist is a dead Zionist we must take a lesson from Hitler” and “The only position for women in SNCC is prone."

Anti-Semitism has become socially acceptable among Democrats, but the party that sent in activists to scream that Brett Kavanaugh was a horrible sexist and a sexual harasser by association is okay with Stokely’s sexism and Booker’s admiration of him. The left’s standards, like its vision, are all double.

Stokely Carmichael, better known as Kwame Ture, was a leftist bigot who had called for racist violence.

Black Panther Mark Essex burst into a New Orleans hotel, shouting, “I want the whites!” He murdered a young honeymooning couple, hotel guests and staff members, and a number of police officers. Stokely Carmichael praised Essex, saying, “We should study and learn from the actions of Brother Essex. We should understand that Brother Essex carried our struggle to its next quantitative level, the level of science.”

Carmichael had also declared, “I’ve never admired a white man, but the greatest of them, to my mind, was Hitler.”

"Go home and get your guns," Carmichael had urged after Martin Luther King’s death, "When the white man comes he is coming to kill you. I don't want any black blood in the street.”

"We are preparing groups of urban guerrillas for our defense in the cities," he warned in Communist Cuba. "It is going to be a fight to the death."

Stokely Carmichael burned through the SNCC and moved on the Black Panthers, but his violent hatred of white people proved to be too much even for the black nationalist hate group. But Booker’s hero nurtured a particular hatred of Jews. And his anti-Semitic threats led to actual anti-Semitic attacks.

Nor did Carmichael have any objection to that.

“Zionist pigs have been harassing us everywhere,” he warned at the University of Maryland, “And when this anger rises, will snap our fingers and finish them off."

It was 1990.

Senator Booker has repeatedly quoted a violent racist. At the Kavanaugh hearing, he cited an attack on the legitimacy of our founding documents from an advocate of a socialist black nationalist revolution through mass murder, a supporter of Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi and assorted murderous dictators.

And yet there’s nothing extraordinary about it.

Carmichael’s anti-Semitism had been defended in the past by Rep. Keith Ellison, the number two man at the DNC and Dem nominee for Minnesota Attorney General. He was attended by Rep. Maxine Waters.

Americans are treated to non-stop lectures about racism from top lefties like Cory Booker. But they are the ones who are the most in need of those hectoring lectures about the evils of racism.

When former president Barack Obama, former president Bill Clinton and Eric Holder, a top DOJ official in both administrations, have been caught hanging around with Farrakhan, there’s a racism problem.

When Senator Booker casually quotes a violent anti-Semitic racist, there’s a serious racism problem.

It’s a problem of black racism. And until it’s taken seriously, there are no other conversations about racism worth having. When the top figures in the Democrat party are okay with anti-Semitism and racism, then their political faction and its media apparatus has no right to lecture on racism.

In October 2016, Booker tweeted a photo commemorating Farrakhan's Million Man March. "May the unity and spirit of the march continue to live on," he wrote, over a photo of a marcher brandishing a poster that included Louis Farrakhan. No complex interpretation of hand gestures is needed here.

Farrakhan, like Stokely Carmichael, is a racist and anti-Semite who admires Hitler. And he’s a pal of presidents and politicians. Including the men who lecture us on how racist the Founding Fathers were.

There is a deep racist and anti-Semitic disease in the leadership of the Democrats. As Senator Cory Booker brings his hatred for the Jewish State to the Senate, he should be asked whether he agrees with his hero, “The only good Zionist is a dead Zionist we must take a lesson from Hitler”.

Cory Booker’s Imbecilic SCOTUS Stunt Leads to 2020 Vision in Iowa

By Andrew West September 10, 2018

Cory Booker, who last week performed one of the most egregious, self-aggrandizing, faux martyrdom acts in the history of the democratic party, now believes that he is ready to take on Donald Trump in 2020…at least according to actions being taken in Iowa this week.

Hot on the heels of his dazzling turn as “Spartacus,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) has dispatched key staffers to Iowa, apparently as part of an early effort to cement a 2020 Presidential operation there......

Unfortunately for Booker, mere hours after the self-proclaimed “Spartacus” maneuver, it was revealed that there was never any danger in the release of the emails as they had been approved for public release in the wee hours of the morning beforehand.   Booker was simply showboating, and Americans know that now.............To Read More.....

Where Do We Get Such Losers?

August 13, 2018 By Colin Flaherty

When delivered by Ronald Reagan, the question “Where do we get such men?” used to be the ultimate contemplation about the people who make this country great. Not anymore.

Today, when we look at the delusion and deceit surrounding at least five Democrat members of the U.S. Senate, the question now becomes “Is this the best we have?” Let’s look at a few.

When Cory Booker moved to Newark, New Jersey, he had it all: multiple degrees from Stanford, a Rhodes scholarship, a winning smile and a willingness to lie his keister off about a central feature of his earlier campaigns.

He also had an imaginary friend, T-Bone -- a drug-dealing, streetwise guardian angel of Cory Booker -- as he tried to convince the people of Newark he was not just a little rich kid, he was one of them, bursting with street cred.

Booker trotted out the T-Bone stories at every early campaign stop in his races for mayor: T-Bone told him this, T-Bone told him that. And of course, as brilliant as T-Bone was, he was still on many occasions the recipient of Cory Booker’s sage counsel.

But T-Bone was never there. The Star Ledger and National Review broke this story of delusion almost at the same time. An excerpt from Booker’s home town paper.............Read more

Cory Booker’s Israel Faux-Pas Exposes Stunning Depths Of Liberal Hypocrisy On Border Security

Scott Morefield Aug 06, 2018

We all know most liberals are hypocrites, but they can’t help it, not really. After all, hypocrisy is intertwined into the very essence of holding to policy positions so utterly nonsensical on their face that defending them requires pretzel-shaped distortions of reality that would make a circus acrobat shudder.

But among a sea of hypocrites, some are more hypocritical than others.

Enter Senator Cory Booker, who was recently photographed at Netroots Nation - that gathering of Lenin wannabees, each of whom hoping to top the last one’s efforts to come up with a nuttier way to purge the kulaks for good this time - holding a sign bearing a pro-Palestinian movement slogan.......To Read More....

My Take - We need to get this right.  There are no boundries to the left, and the farther left they go the more loons they gather under their umbrella, and the more loons they gather the farther away from sanity they flow.  We also need to understand there is no real moral foundation on which they stand.  What ever is the latest popular philosophical flavor of the day, that's what they'll embrace.  Even if it's totally contradictory.  Maybe even in this same conversation.  Thank you Cory!  He's a gift that keeps on giving.
