Democrats hate Trump and his supporters, try to make the feeling mutual

• "Ms. Crockett had private education from primary through college. Why is she speaking like she grew up in the streets?"

 'Nothing to Sell but Hate'—Greg Abbott Brings Savage Reality to Jasmine Crockett  I'm sure Kerosene Maxine loves what Crockett is and does. TD

Nice try, except that as Bonchie reported, she’s made similar jokes in the past, and "Hot Wheels" is described in the Urban Dictionary as “An annoying paraplegic that uses her disability for pity.” It would appear that Ms. Crockett is as dishonest as she is vicious.

"The Democrats have acted despicably since Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office, repeatedly calling for violence, discovering a newfound love of profanity, and holding impotent protests against virtually everything. Their lowest moment came at the president’s speech to a joint session of Congress in February when they refused to stand for a 13-year-old cancer survivor or honor the memories of two women viciously murdered by illegal aliens. 

"It turns out that may not have been their nadir, however, because as we’ve been reporting, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett has been on a tear lately with unhinged threats, crass NSFW rhetoric, and general awful behavior seemingly designed to launch herself to the top of the pantheon of the most toxic members of Congress.

"Over the weekend, she cruelly mocked Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels” in reference to the partial paralysis that confines him to a wheelchair, a result of a tragic accident that occurred in his 20s when he was hit by a falling tree. He has overcome so much adversity since then, but this woman had the indecency to make fun of him for it? Unbelievable. (Mild profanity): . . ."

 I don’t use this word often, but Jasmine Crockett truly is wicked.To call Greg Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” is cruel, contemptible & speaks to your lack of character.A tree fell on Abbott when he was 26 years old — paralyzing him from the waist down.

Jasmine Crockett should be censured. Kicked off all committees. She needs to be kicked out of Congress.

JUST IN: Judge James Boasberg has been assigned to the Signalgate lawsuit.

When I saw this story break, I joked that some judge was going to order Trump's entire national security cabinet to resign over this. While that won't happen, you can expect some further shenanigans to play out. Who knows what the judge overseeing this lawsuit will come up with?  Now we know.

From Watergate … To This? The Signal “leak” is not a Democrat smoking gun. UPDATED

The American Spectator   

"Except this isn’t dirt. This is more like an online peeping Tom who couldn’t catch the girls with their clothes off. It’s nothing, and in fact, it suggests just how clean an administration this is if Goldberg and his Watergate Fan Club pals have to resort to this in search of a scandal."

. . ."But the story we’ve been told is that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, or perhaps more accurately, someone on his staff who was handling his phone, somehow invited the Atlantic editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, a partisan Democrat propagandist known for concocting fabulist stories that cast Trump in a bad light, into the Signal thread.

"Goldberg, after the missile strikes in Yemen successfully took out a number of Houthi fighters, went public with the messages exchanged and accused Hegseth and the others of essentially leaking “war plans” on Signal. The messages appear to have been real, but that didn’t stop Goldberg from lying about them.

"What was said in the Signal thread? Nothing classified other than the hardly-secret fact that our military was going to strike the Houthis less than two hours later.

"There are people demanding resignations over this, which is bizarre. If Goldberg isn’t lying about how he got into the Signal thread, it would seem that someone was a bit careless in policing the roster of participants in that thread, and while that might be worthy of criticism it surely doesn’t rise to the level of, say, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff guaranteeing the Chinese that he would give them fair warning if ever a U.S. attack was imminent. (RELATED: Gen. Mark Milley: A Case for Treason?)

"Not a single one of the people incensed about this nothingburger of a story had a cross word to say about Mark Milley, which should put paid to any notions of outrage over the Signal chat.

"In fact, the only real item of interest in the conversation Goldberg leaked out to the public was that Vance expressed reservations about hitting the Houthis, mostly based on the fact that 40 percent of European trade travels through the Suez Canal and Red Sea corridor, while only a nominal amount of American trade does. Vance asked, not unreasonably, what the U.S. was getting out of essentially fighting Europe’s war for it." . . .

Columbia Students Return to a Changed University

 Hot Air  

"But it turns out those kind of arguments are less compelling when your government funding is on the line. The chair of Columbia's biology department made the point that a lot of the big talkers don't have any skin in the game at this moment."

"Last week was spring break for students at Columbia University. That means students were off campus when the school effectively conceded to the Trump administration and promised to put in place many changes to how things operate going forward.

Columbia University students were stepping into a new campus environment Monday after their university announced sweeping policy changes while they were away on spring break, seemingly bowing to the Trump administration’s demands over the release of $400 million in federal funding to the school...

The new rules effectively ban protests inside and immediately outside academic buildings, and all demonstration activity is subject to the university’s antidiscrimination and anti-harassment policies.

The university hired 36 new campus police officers specifically trained to deal with protests with powers to remove or arrest protesters as part of the changes, and it will continue to cooperate with the New York Police Department as needed.

Anyone who engages in protests or demonstrations must, when asked, show their university ID and are banned from wearing face coverings for the purpose of “concealing one’s identity,” according to the university’s statement released Friday.

"The no masks rule could be especially problematic to the pro-Hamas extremists who have been running amok on campus. Like Antifa, CUAD (the coalition of groups organizing the protests) has used face covering to avoid accountability for actions which violate school rules or break the law. If students had to protest without the masks they might be less likely to take extreme actions that could result in suspension or expulsion." . . .

California’s Memory Loss

 The American Spectator   

Newsom and Brown seem to have forgotten that people once streamed into California from far and wide. And they don’t seem to care that most of the traffic is now on the way out, to states with lower taxes, fewer regulations, and more economic freedom. 

syracuse.com

"The University of California is “ending the requirement that diversity statements be used in hiring,” the California Globe reports, “the latest move away from diversity-based hiring and applying measures at the UC system.” Lost in the shuffle is California’s previous move to end “diversity-based” hiring, code for racial and ethnic hiring banned by state law.

"In 1996, state voters passed the California Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI), Proposition 209 on the ballot, that banned racial and ethnic preferences in state education, employment, and contracting. Contrary to popular belief, the measure did not ban “affirmative action.” The state could still lend students a hand on an economic basis but could no longer admit and hire on the basis of race and ethnicity. At the time, state officials had forgotten a lesson from 1978. 

"The University of California at Davis medical school rejected Allan Bakke not because the Vietnam veteran was unqualified but on account of his race. The person of pallor sued and won, but California continued to reject and admit students on the basis of race and the proportionality doctrine.

"State education, employment, and contracting, this view contends, must reflect the racial and ethnic proportions of society. If they don’t, the cause can only be deliberate discrimination, and the remedy must be some sort of quota system now passed off as “diversity” or DEI. This doctrine ignores realities such as personal differences, effort, and choice.

"CCRI put an end to diversity dogma, and the disaster opponents predicted never occurred. As Thomas Sowell noted in Intellectuals and Race, after Prop 209, blacks and Hispanics graduated from UC schools in greater numbers. State educrats fought the measure from the start and in recent years built a vast DEI establishment that burdened taxpayers while serving no educational purpose." . . .
