Left’s Reaction to Seinfeld Exactly What You’d Expect
"Our humorless and intellectually superior friends on the left listened to what Jerry Seinfeld said about political correctness and proved his point in exactly the way you’d expect.
"Progressives can’t abide a celebrity with Seinfeld’s gravitas criticizing their culture of microaggressions and limits on free speech so naturally, he must be discredited.
"MSNBC’s Alex Wagner discussed the subject with her guests and for the most part, they dismissed Seinfeld’s concerns because after all, he’s rich." . . .
. . .
"Not to be outdone, Salon offered their super-smart take on the issue:
Jerry Seinfeld is a wimp: What his anti-P.C. tirades are really about"Right. Jerry Seinfeld is the wimp, not the politically correct prigs who created the very culture he’s criticizing." . . .
Jerry Seinfeld, observational comedian of the masses, has been on the warpath of late. Starting with an interview on ESPN Radio on Monday, the decidedly non-edgy comic proceeded to stake his claim as the latest standard-bearer in the ongoing war between comedians and political correctness. “I don’t play colleges,” Seinfeld told ESPN’s Colin Cowherd, “but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don’t go near colleges, they’re so PC.’”…
To quote a classic Seth Meyers bit: “Really?!”
If it’s not enough of a red flag when a trio of wealthy straight white men — Seinfeld and Meyers, along with New Yorker editor David Remnick — discuss the looming threat of political correctness, Seinfeld’s sweeping generalization of college-aged audiences packs an arrogance that gives this defender of nothing-is-off-limits comedy pause.

Let the images of these classy people commenting on police actions be your takeaway image.
Mom's Viral Video Message: Respect the Police Video at the link.
"Respect the police: That’s a message from one mom in a video that’s gone viral on Facebook.
"In the video that’s been viewed more than 2 million times, Kisa Jackson said that parents need to take ownership of their children’s actions. She added that kids must follow protocol and respect officers.
"Jackson was responding to the recent video which shows then-police officer Eric Casebolt pin a teen girl to the ground and then draw his weapon at a pool party in Texas. Casebolt has since resigned.
“ 'Do I think that the incident was excessive? Yes. But do I think it was necessary? Yes. Parents need to take ownership [of] what their children are doing and hold them accountable for their actions, as well as the parents should be held accountable,” Jackson said in the video."
'Not All Officers Are Racist': Black Man's Defense of Police Goes Viral
Video, but it may not play,
"A 22-year-old African-American man recorded a video after a recent encounter with a police officer and the video has gone viral. But it's not for the reasons you might think.
"In the video, Will Stack, a 22-year-old U.S. Army National Guardsman, recounts his experience with a white police officer in South Carolina.
"Stack explains that he was pulled over for "improper use of the median." After handing over his license and registration and listening politely while the officer explained what he did wrong, Stack was given a warning and sent on his way.
"The positive encounter with a police officer inspired Stack to share his experience.
" 'People need to understand that not all officers are crooked," Stack says in the video. "Not all officers are racist, bad people. And not all people who get shot or tased or arrested by officers are innocent victims."
" 'Just because you're black doesn't mean you're a victim, just because you're white doesn't mean you're a racist, just because you're a cop doesn't mean you're a bad person," Stack added." . . .

Shocker ! – Dallas Reporter Investigating The “Dime Girls” and “Twinzz Promotions” and “Make It Clap” Parties…
The Last Refuge "Hat Tip Nettles – Wow. It appears the Dallas area might actually have an investigative journalist willing to expose the sexploitation of minors. That’s really the bigger picture behind the McKinney “Craig Ranch” pool fiasco."
"We previously revealed the McKinney Texas June 5th pool party mob at the Craig Ranch sub-division was organized by 20-year-old Tatyana Rhodes (left), and her mother LaShana Burks (right).The Facts Behind The McKinney Pool Fiasco – Part II
"Combined these young ladies were promoting, and selling tickets for, Tatyana’s next event “#Make It Clap Pt.2″ as noted in her promotional flyer.
"Disturbingly “Make It Clap” references two exceptionally sexual and suggestive urban connotations: One urban definition is “twerking” a sexually suggestive dance where butt cheeks create the auditory reference. The second is a sexual position where the male activity provides the sound. “Make It Clap” where “it” is a young ladies posterior." More at the link.
There go the home prices in Craig Ranch, a beautiful place.
. . . " The social media of the aforementioned teen “Dime Piece Girls” is so
profoundly vulgar in graphic sexual language and imagery, we
intentionally refuse to show or link to it. Personally we find it
difficult to believe their parents accept what is being advertised by
their teenage daughters. However, we are forced to admit, there exists
today a sociology of thug-life and culture that accepts behavior
historically defined as lacking virtue or morality." . . .
Hat tip to Heather Martin at Back the Blue
Fine. Just don't let your child play alone in your neighborhood or we'll bring the hammer down.

Carly Fiorina’s New Ad Dismantles Hillary Clinton’s ‘Accomplishments’
Brutal Carly Fiorina ad: What’s Hillary’s biggest accomplishment as Secretary of State?
"Who knew that the candidate responsible for the legendary “demon sheep” ad had something like this in her? It’s three minutes long, which is about six times longer than an effective ad should be, but the length works here to underscore the point. Those long seconds of silence when someone’s asked to name a Clinton accomplishment feel even longer when you watch a string of people struggling with the question. It’s excruciating.

"And, I bet, it’ll prove more effective with voters than attacks on
the Clinton Foundation or Hillary’s e-mail practices will. Reminding
people that the Clintons are crooks won’t move the numbers. Voters
already know that. If anything, I think they’ve come to admire Billary’s
wiliness in managing to get away with so much for so long. Cunning
isn’t the worst trait to have in a president, especially if the main sin
it’s employed for is graft. The Clinton slush fund is a drop in the
ocean of dirty D.C. money. Forcing voters to question Hillary’s
competence does more damage to her than the scandal stuff, I think,
because it demystifies her." . . . More at the link.
PJ Media “ 'Titles Are Not Accomplishments” is the name of the ad and it is delicious. I keep hoping that Carly will get some traction because her relentless focus on tearing Mrs. Bill apart thus far has been a delight to watch."

VIDEO: Young Hillary Supporters Struggle to Name Her Achievements
I do have to say about this survey that can it be a good litmus test?. Most interviews of this demographic finds few who can tell us who Abraham Lincoln was.
The Weasel of the Week
Nice Deb "Once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!"Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were all disgusting but the Council has spoken and we have our winner. The envelope please….
Hillary’s Time-Tested Campaign Strategy: Smear Republicans as Haters
Mona Charen . . . "As these stories [of Clinton corruption and ineptitude in the State Department] mounted, Clinton seemed oddly disengaged. She neither answered questions nor attempted to change the subject. Some Republicans began to get smug. “She’s a terrible candidate,” they said (your humble columnist may even have let these words slip herself). “She doesn’t have the skills of her husband,” they said, even predicting that “this woman will never be president of the United States.” This week, Clinton demonstrated that Republicans should wipe the smiles off their faces. On Saturday, June 13, she’ll deliver a do-over of the announcement speech, and if it’s anything like the talk she delivered at Texas Southern University, it will be fierce and effective." . . .

A Liberal Reads the News
HopeNChangeCartoons "We're letting the cartoon do the talking today, because the vapidity of those on the Left - and what they consider newsworthy - pretty much leaves us speechless. And by "speechless," we of course mean we don't want to open our mouths and risk spilling what we're drinking.
"But fortunately, that's not the case for our liberal correspondent, who is here to share her personal insights into the critically important process of candidate selection..."
Krauthammer: The GOP racing form, second edition

POTUS Bullies SCOTUS ; King v Burwell: What’s Next?
"The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the latest legal challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in June. The Court will decide whether the IRS had the authority to write a rule allowing health insurance subsidies to flow through federally-facilitated exchanges.
"Petitioners argue that the law clearly restricts the subsidies to “an Exchange established by the State” and that administrative agencies like the IRS cannot alter legislation or spend taxpayer dollars without statutory authorization by Congress. The government argues that “established by the State” is at worst a drafting error and that Congress clearly wanted subsidies to be available in all of the states." . . .
Read on for the latest news and opinion about this case and its implications.
Obama Tries To Bully The Supreme Court One More Time . . . "Obama's real target in the speech, however, wasn't to sell ObamaCare to a public that long ago decided that it didn't want or like the law, and hasn't changed its mind.
"His target was the Supreme Court and its upcoming ruling on King v. Burwell. Not that anything Obama says can change the court's ruling. That was probably decided soon after oral arguments in March.
"No, Obama wants to ostracize the court should it have the gall to rule that, based on the actual legislative language, ObamaCare subsidies are available only to people who sign up through state-run exchanges." . . .

This president's ISIS strategy

Promise Kept Alert: Obama Considers Establishing New Military Bases In Iraq…
File this next under "dubious":
Other sources have this as well, as DEBKAfile often needs corroboration
From DEBKAfile.
Also in Israel News Cloud
Global Geopolitics carries this same story, but all sources link to DEBKAfile. This does not seem in character with Obama, whom I feel would like to stall this all until he is out of office. Then he can criticize the next administration for messing up the beautiful foreign policy he bequeathed to them.
If you don't believe that, then tell me where have you been the past seven years. TD
Max Boot: Obama Embraces Hope But Little Change in Iraq . . . " If the administration were really serious about defeating ISIS, it would have to lift the rules that prevent American personnel from going into battle with Iraqi forces and calling in air strikes. It would also have to be prepared to order US Special Operations Forces to engage ISIS directly, staging regular raids like the one that recently killed an ISIS mid-level leader in Syria. In addition, it would have to mount a major political initiative to give the Sunnis a reason to fight ISIS by assuring them that they will not again be subjugated to extremist Shiite rule. Oh, and the administration would also have to come up with some strategy for fighting ISIS in Syria — and in far-flung lands such as Libya, where the Islamic State is now expanding." . . .
