Rush Limbaugh. . . "I am being overwhelmed today with email from people who are beside themselves over this new Gillette commercial aimed at Millennial men. And, by the way, I don’t blame you. If you are among the crowd righteously offended and indignant over this, Gillette is obviously being run by Millennials. This is the danger. Millennials grow up and they get management jobs at various corporations, and they become in charge of advertising and marketing, and this is what’s happening now.
. . . "Oh, you haven’t heard about this Gillette ad? Oh. Well, they’re calling it “We Believe: The Best Men Can Be.” And it basically tells men to reexamine themselves in the way they raise boys. The ad goes on to show men getting into fights, standing in front of barbecue grills, probably grilling meat, destroying the planet, and then it shows men verbally harassing women.
"It’s got one stereotype after another of what liberals claim is wrong with being a man. And Gillette incorporates all of that and is warning fathers, “Don’t let your kids become this.” In fact, the ad even has a happy ending. We see clean-shaven men — how many Millennials shave? Do you see Millennials with — I mean, seriously, they’re such tightwads. I don’t think they shave. I can’t tell you what tightwads they are. They’re cheapskates and they’re tightwads to boot. And that is not a broad generalization. It happens to be literally true. ‘Cause they think anything more expensive than free is too expensive. Not all. But a way, way too large number of them do.
" 'Anyway, the happy ending in the ad, we see clean-shaven men finally behaving themselves, not grilling meat, and not ogling women! All because they have chosen to use Gillette razors in order to be the best a man can be." . . . More tomorrow
CNN Legal Analyst Areva Martin Accuses David Webb Of ‘White Privilege’ Before Learning He’s Black "It was a rough day for author and CNN legal analyst Areva Martin on Tuesday. " 'Martin accused Sirius XM radio and Fox Nation host David Webb of “white privilege” during a segment on a radio program before he broke the news. “ 'Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should’ve been better prepped. I’m black,” Webb said. "The embarrassing moment occurred during a discussion about experience being more important than race when determining whether or not someone is qualified for a particular job." . . .
A CNN panel accused President Donald Trump of being “sexist” Monday night because the president made a joke about first lady Melania Trump making salads. The president cracked the joke to the national championship-winning Clemson football team during their Monday visit to the White House. Trump noted that because of the shutdown, he had to personally purchase a spread of fast food for the team’s visit, and joked that his food choices were better than having the first lady make them “some quick little salads.” CNN anchor Erin Burnett and analyst Joan Walsh accused the president of being sexist for assuming that the first lady would prepare the salads.

"Donald Trump's fast food plan worked ... because Clemson's star QB Trevor Lawrence tells TMZ Sports he LOVED the President's McDonald's spread at the White House and can't wait to do it again! "Lawrence and the rest of the Clemson Tigers arrived to 1600 Penn to celebrate their National Championship victory over Alabama ... where President Trump personally selected the food menu. "I think we're going to serve McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King with some pizza," Trump said to the media earlier that day ... explaining, "I would think that's their favorite food." "When the team arrived, the fast food -- Big Macs, Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and more -- was waiting for them on silver platters on a table decorated with gold candelabras ... real fancy stuff."
Trump claims he bought 'over 1000 hamberders' for football champs after White House said he only bought 300 . . . "Ahead of the junk food chow-down, which featured an assortment of unhealthy dishes from McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King, deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said the President had copped “more than 300” burgers. "Gidley did not return a request for comment on the inconsistency. "Some Twitter users questioned how it was even possible for the notoriously word-mangling commander-in-chief to misspell "hamburgers.” "
So schoolyard. Remember when a class had a goat that kids all made fun of things they did?
Nobody deserves to go through the humiliation Justice Kavanaugh was forced to endure. However, given the Court's potential and dramatic shift to the right, this appears to be inevitable. The president and congressional Republicans will need to stand strong together should another vacancy occur in the nation's highest court. If history is any indicator, filling that vacancy will likely be a long, arduous, and difficult process
. . . "The fact that congressional Democrats treated Gorsuch and Kavanaugh with such disdain and viciousness leads to a broader question: will future Supreme Court nominees willingly subject themselves to the type of treatment that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh had to endure? More importantly, should they have to endure such treatment? The way congressional Democrats' treated Gorsuch and Kavanaugh undoubtedly marred the confirmation process and will likely serve to deter some potentially well qualified prospects from seeking this highly coveted role. "The president needs to start preparing now for Ginsburg's eventual retirement. With this in mind, he should begin to thoroughly vet any potential nominee so that there are no surprises down the road. As Senate Democrats proved during the Kavanaugh confirmation process, nothing is off limits. The president and Republicans need to approach this hearing with the mindset that Democrats will go to any lengths to defeat his nomination and prepare any potential nominee accordingly. "Nobody deserves to go through the humiliation Justice Kavanaugh was forced to endure. However, given the Court's potential and dramatic shift to the right, this appears to be inevitable. The president and congressional Republicans will need to stand strong together should another vacancy occur in the nation's highest court.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has defined (unwittingly?) her own socialist yearnings by offering a modern Swedish political model – one in which "love and confidence in [our] country" are grounds for ostracism and political isolation.
". . . They consider themselves social conservatives with a nationalistic foundation. Their party appealed to those Swedes appalled by the liberal immigration policies and subsequent social turmoil instituted by the Social Democrats. "These immigration policies had opened the gates to 163,000 asylum-seekers in 2015. Liberal financial support to these immigrants (primarily from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan) at the expense of Swedish retirees' own monthly pensions and access to health care, concerns over pressure on the welfare and housing system, a shortage of doctors and teachers, and a rise in crime have led to social unrest and have become election issues. Failure of the majority of the immigrants to find jobs and assimilate into Swedish society was evident by 2016, and Sweden began to offer cash incentives for immigrants to leave Sweden for their countries of origin. "Even so, the liberal ruling factions (Social Democrats-Green, Center Party, Liberals) appeared unwilling to the admit the failure and unpopularity of their immigration policies. To talk openly about it in public, or privately, was to risk being labeled a racist or Nazi. "The Swedish public finally got a chance to vote on these issues in September 2018, and the Sweden Democrats ran on a platform calling for a referendum on European Union membership, a freeze on migration, and a crackdown on crime. In its official platform, the party says its anti-migrant policies are driven by "love and confidence in our country." "What did winning third place in the general election get the Sweden Democrats party? They were frozen out of the next step in forming a functioning government. All the other political parties refused to acknowledge their win and refused to work with them. Democratic Sweden, extolled by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, effectively disenfranchised 17.6% of the Swedish electorate; their votes did not count with the other parties. The ruling classes determined that such views had no place in Sweden. On the U.S. political landscape, our similar voters have been labeled the "deplorables" by the Democratic Party leadership.
