The Great Regression

Victor Davis Hanson . . . "If a junior faculty member were to write a paper on the racialist undertones of Black Lives Matter, the lack of factual evidence for a campus rape epidemic, or the connection between radical Islam and terrorism, he would likely have to struggle for tenure.

. . . "Free-speech activists, homosexual-rights advocates, feminists, and democracy reformers all privately accept that they are as free to attack the fundamentalism of the Christian Right as they are in real danger — both to their persons and to their careers — should they question Koranic support for widespread current Muslim discrimination against women, gays, and religious reformers. Political correctness has become synonymous with either cowardice or careerism — or both. We damn “Islamophobia” to win social brownie points, but we tune out when there is mention of honor killings or female circumcision. Cheap silence is always preferable to principled but risky dissent." . . .

Does Black Success Matter?

Thomas Sowell

Does Black Success Matter?

"We keep hearing that "black lives matter," but they seem to matter only when that helps politicians to get votes, or when that slogan helps demagogues demonize the police. The other 99 percent of black lives destroyed by people who are not police do not seem to attract nearly as much attention in the media. 

"What about black success? Does that matter? Apparently not so much. 

"We have heard a lot about black students failing to meet academic standards. So you might think that it would be front­page news when some whole ghetto schools not only meet, but exceed, the academic standards of schools in more upscale communities. There are in fact whole chains of charter schools where black and Hispanic youngsters score well above the national average on tests. There are the KIPP (Knowledge IS Power Program) schools and the Success Academy schools, for example. " . . .

"That Trump knows he's gonna lose. All Trump is doing is setting up a future media empire to take on Fox News and CNN."

Althouse  " 'This is the CNN theory. That when Trump loses the election, he's gonna have Steve Bannon and Ailes and they're gonna set up this brand-new news network to take everybody else out. They're gonna swamp Fox News. They're gonna swamp CNN. That's the CNN theory. I know some of the players here. I've not heard a word of that. I can't do thumbs up or thumbs down on it. I have no idea whether any of that has any truth to it, if there's any validity. I do know that CNN's off the rails on this. They're acting paranoid and they've got their conspiratorial hats on and they're dreaming and imagines things."

"Said Rush Limbaugh on his show today. I'm trying to think about what's so paranoid about that theory. It makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. 

"Here's an article in RedState, "Looking Ahead: Trump, Ailes, Bannon And Hannity – News Network On The Horizon?":" . . .

There’s a reason Breitbart News went from hard-charging news outlet to drooling Trump mouthpiece. Bannon emerges from all of this unscathed. ... If Trump wins, he’s in a position of high power; if Trump loses, Bannon could head up a new media empire with Trump’s support and the involvement of new Trump supporter and ousted former Fox News head Roger Ailes.

George Soros; buying America

Soros: funding violence against law enforcement

Black Lives Matter Wide Banner

     "It’s no surprise or secret that 86-year-old Hungarian billionaire George Soros is a Leftistpar excellence, who just “happened” to make over $1 billion dollars in one day when he short-sold the British pound in UK’s Black Wednesday crisis of 1992.     "But, naturally, because Soros funds Leftist causes the staggering profiteering of Soros simply falls off the radar of the American Media Maggots, et al.  His corporatism is magically acceptable and worthy of ignorance;    "Soros has already spent $13 million dollars this election cycle to bring Hillary Clinton to the White House and Demorats(sp) back to power in the US Congress.

What This Group Has to Do With the Evil George Soros
"Guess what leftist billionaire George Soros’ non-profit network, the Open Society Foundations (OSF), aka Open Borders Foundation, supported — that’s right — the Gang of Eight amnesty bill.
"Now, why would the network support that?
"That is known as a result of 2,500 documents hacked from OSF and released over the weekend by DC Leaks.
"The Soros group invested $7.7 million, not pocket change." . . .

How The Media Work

Ann Coulter  From Ann Coulter, about ten years ago:
"Oh yeah. I wouldn't insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards. Now, that would be mean. But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

American Silliness: Aug 17, 2016

Photo published for Al Gore Blames Deadly Louisiana Floods On Global Warming — Just As New Studies Debunk His Claim Via...Serial arsonist behind California wildfires caught as Gore blames ‘global warming’
"Serial arsonist behind California wildfires caught as alarmists blame global warming – The serial arsonist who started most of the California wildfires has finally been arrested – yet alarmists still blame climate change for the fires" . . .
. . . "The California wildfires still raging out of control are the work of a serial arsonist and not the result of global warming. Yesterday, officials arrested the dangerous firebug accused of setting 17 of California’s wildfires as firefighters battle the still-raging firestorms across the state. Previously, global warming alarmists said the wildfires were a result of the long-running California drought that has left a lot of dry tinder on the ground. Numerous studies have shown the California drought is entirely natural and part of a regular cyclic pattern for the state." . . .

Kaine: Women In Iraq Have It Better Than Females In America…
"Vice presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said Tuesday that the United States has made it difficult for women to be elected to higher office, and argued that America ranks behind Iraq, Afghanistan and Rwanda in this area."  Kaine may be Hillary's Biden.

Illegal Immigrant Tapped for Clinton ‘Dreamer’ Campaign Tied to Soros-Funded Voter Effort

Clinton and Soros-backed campaigns have similar goals

Hillary Clinton, right, hugs immigration activist Astrid Silva / AP

"An illegal immigrant who was tapped by the Hillary Clinton campaign for a new effort to register Latino voters is tied to a multi-million dollar voter registration effort funded by George Soros.
"The Clinton campaign announced the “Mi Sueño, Tu Voto”—or “My Dream, Your Vote”—program on Sunday. The program uses stories about illegal immigrant children who are prohibited from voting to inspire Latino voters to register and vote against Donald Trump and Republicans, the Associated Press reported.
"Astrid Silva, the 28-year-old illegal immigrant who railed against Donald Trump during a prime-time speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention, was featured in the Clinton campaign’s press release announcing the new “Dreamer” effort.
"Silva said in the press release that while young illegal immigrants may not have the right to vote, the new effort will “help ensure that our stories are heard and it will send a clear signal to Donald Trump that we cannot be silenced.' ” . . .

. . . "Believing with all his heart that "when the going gets tough, the tough go golfing," the president has not missed a stroke to evince any particular interest in the violent race riots in Milwaukee, nor the human suffering of the victims of catastrophic flooding in Louisiana.

"Of course, the White House is quick to report that the president is being kept "fully informed" of every tragic, heart-rending development...except when he's lining up a drive. Or if he's putting. Or shmoozing with his wealthy buddies. Or driving Golf Cart One wildly around the course, making siren sounds, while sucking down lungfuls of the primo bud that he had Malia buy for him.
