Just because Trump said it doesn’t mean it’s not true: The Democratic Party is becoming unsalvageable. Just ask our ally, Israel

The lesson for conservatives in all this, after 6 decades of this, is simply never to accommodate the left. Never apologize. Never give way an inch. We've tried all that, repeatedly, and it only leads to worse vitriol and attacks. Trump is doing it right. Never ever give way or apologize or surrender. Stay on offense. Assist them in destroying themselves. Ryan Moore

Ignore It at Your Peril  . . . "It is in the spirit of Carly’s call for dialogue that does not shy away from unpleasant assertions that I would like to offer two observations about the political future of American Jews.

"The first has to do with the unthinkable descent of the Democratic Party into being not just blind to anti-Jewish bigotry, but an engine of it. We can argue about when and exactly how this happened—I’ll leave the ultimate timelines to historians—but to keep things simple let’s connect only the most recent dots.

"Shortly after Trump was elected, the left moved into resistance mode. The feelings here were entirely understandable—I myself found Trump’s election deeply worrisome. But, very quickly, the energy began to be channeled into causes and outfits with deep and clear anti-Semitic associations—including, most prominently, the Women’s March." . . .

Democrat Rashida Tlaib *forgot* to mention Palestinian Suicide Bombers in teary statement about checkpoints  "The security barrier and checkpoints were a response to relentless Palestinian terror attacks."

The barrier was built to keep suicide bombers out, and it worked, much to the chagrin of the Palestinians. In 2002 452 Israelis were killed; that number dropped by half in 2003, and now almost no suicide bombers get through, although they still try. Ironically, the barrier also saved Palestinian lives by lessening the need for Israeli military actions in the West Bank to prevent suicide bombers.

Climate Alarmists Foiled: No U.S. Warming Since 2005. UPDATED

RealClearEnergy  "When American climate alarmists claim to have witnessed the effects of global warming, they must be referring to a time beyond 14 years ago. That is because there has been no warming in the United States since at least 2005, according to updated data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
"In January 2005, NOAA began recording temperatures at its newly built U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN). USCRN includes 114 pristinely maintained temperature stations spaced relatively uniformly across the lower 48 states. NOAA selected locations that were far away from urban and land-development impacts that might artificially taint temperature readings.
"Prior to the USCRN going online, alarmists and skeptics sparred over the accuracy of reported temperature data. With most preexisting temperature stations located in or near urban settings that are subject to false temperature signals and create their own microclimates that change over time, government officials performed many often-controversial adjustments to the raw temperature data. Skeptics of an asserted climate crisis pointed out that most of the reported warming in the United States was non-existent in the raw temperature data, but was added to the record by government officials. 
"The USCRN has eliminated the need to rely on, and adjust the data from, outdated temperature stations. Strikingly, as shown in the graph below, USCRN temperature stations show no warming since 2005 when the network went online. If anything, U.S. temperatures are now slightly cooler than they were 14 years ago.". . . 

UPDATE: Democrats dump climate change debate, recognizing how badly it will bomb with voters  "If you want to win an election, yelling about global warming and blaming air conditioners, cars, plastic straws, and jets -- while jetting in to do it -- is probably not the best way to sell it to voters." . . .

Contradicting Rashida Tlaib’s claims of Israeli oppression and racism, the village in which her grandmother lives is full of luxury items.

World Israel News  "One would be forgiven for thinking that Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother is suffering a life of poverty in a small dusty Arab village in Samaria given the congresswomen’s charges of Israeli “racism, oppression and injustice,” but the truth appears to be very different, Israel Hayom reports on Thursday.
"Tlaib’s grandmother, Muftiya, lives in the village Beit-Ur al-Fauqa. Her home has been described as a modest, one-story home, according to reports. Tlaib said she had hoped to pick figs with her. The image that’s been painted is one of dignified poverty.
"However, Israel Hayom took a look at the Facebook profiles of Tlaib’s relatives and a different picture emerges.
"“If you look at the Facebook profiles of people who actually live there, you will discover that things are actually not bad at all,” the paper says.
"One of the family, Achiam Tlaib, drives a new BMW and lives in a three-story building.
"Another, Raja Tlaib, can be seen on Facebook “posing next to his new Mercedes, wearing an expensive suit. He also has pictures showing him working out in a gym that has the latest equipment,” the paper says.
"Mawaid Tlaib vacations in Italy. Anas Tlaib enjoys a fancy Mercedes.
"Samach Tlaib speeds around in a BMW. Niaf Tlaib prefers a Corvette convertible (a car almost never seen in Israel itself). Israel Hayom says he can be seen standing before his new three-story home under construction.
"Rep. Tlaib of Michigan has made much of the “dehumanizing” checkpoints. But Israel Hayom says pictures show her family members visiting sites all over pre-1967 Israel, including Jaffa, Acre and Tel Aviv. Clearly, they have a great deal of freedom of movement." . . .

The Washington Post adds: Meet Rashida Tlaib’s grandma: ‘Who wouldn’t be proud of a granddaughter like that?’

Contradicting Rashida Tlaib’s claims of Israeli oppression and racism, the village in which her grandmother lives is full of luxury items.

"Muftiyah Tlaib — who says she is somewhere between 85 and her early 90s — lives in the village of Beit Ur al-Fauqa, about 15 miles outside Jerusalem and close to the seam line between Israel and the West Bank, territory that Israel occupied in the 1967 war and that Palestinians hope to see as part of an independent state someday.
"She lives in the same elegant limestone house in the same sleepy village she has called home since 1974 — the house where the whole village once came to celebrate Rashida Tlaib’s wedding, and the house that looks directly onto an Israeli settlement with a visible military presence." . . .

Left-Wing Institutions Mainstreaming Hatred

"Media Bias Is the Prime Enabler" . . ."Liberals use their dominance of the cultural heights (academia, media, entertainment, music industry, publishing, government bureaucracy, etc.) to constantly communicate and propagandize that all Republicans are repugnant, racist, misogynist, and cartoonish supervillains.  As actress Julia Roberts once intoned about George W. Bush, the gracious former Republican president, "Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant."

Illustrations added by TD

Fletch Daniels  "The contrasting reactions of conservatives and liberals to the news that libertarian philanthropist David Koch died and that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is suffering from a serious health problem highlight a fundamental difference between them.

Liberal Reaction to Death of Koch
"Prominent liberals exploded in vicious joy at the news that Koch had died.  Perhaps the worst reaction was Bill Maher, who said, "F‑‑‑ him...I'm glad he's dead, and I hope the end was painful."  An outlier?  Hardly.  His audience roared its approval.
"Bette Midler got in on the act, wishing his brother were also dead.  She echoed Maher's profanity-bomb language and directed it at Kay Cole James, the black American leader of the Heritage Foundation, showing once again that no insult directed toward a minority is too vile when it comes from a liberal.
"Social media are on fire with these types of screeds from these tolerant Americans who regularly lecture and project at Republican lack of civility. 
"Whatever you think of his policy positions, David Koch should not have been a particularly controversial figure.  He was a successful business leader who gave billions to charity.  He was neither hateful nor petty.
"He once said, "I really want to put my money to work making the world a better place." 
"His primary crime?  He supported Republicans, the one offense that still infuriates the Left.

"Conservative Reaction to Ruth Bader Ginsburg News
"Saturday also broke the news that Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg suffered from a malignant tumor on her pancreas.  President Donald Trump's reaction to this terrible news about someone who has been a fierce critic?  He said, "I hope she does really well.  I'm hoping she's going to be fine.  She's pulled through a lot. She's strong, very tough."
"He wasn't an outlier.  Conservatives who would love to see Ginsburg enjoy her golden years in retirement were quick to wish her well.  Not a single prominent conservative said anything half as toxic as what a host of liberals rushed to say about a man they didn't even know.
"Conservatives almost universally would like to see the very liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg step down from the Court.  She is no friend to the Constitution and is a rubber-stamp vote in favor of all liberal issues, regardless of how detestable.  But conservatives don't hate her, nor should they.
"There was not a single Julianne Malveaux reaction to Saturday's news.  Malveaux, formerly a PBS regular, once commented about Clarence Thomas, "You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease.' "  . . .

Exploding cigar: Biden invites Americans who think he's too old and addled to be president to ... not vote for him

Monica Showalter  "History is well-littered with the political corpses of leaders who imagine that the invitations they throw out are certain to be turned down by the public.

"Which brings us to Joe Biden, Democratic presidential frontrunner, whose advanced age (78 now) is giving voters the willies.

"Here's Biden's invitation to the voters, according to LifeZette:

Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to dismiss voters concerned about his age, telling them not to vote for him in the 2020 Democratic primary race.

 

“I say if they’re concerned, don’t vote for me,” Biden said while speaking to reporters in Keene, New Hampshire.

 

When a reporter told Biden that voters he talked to were wondering if the former senator from Delaware had lost a step, Biden answered, “What do you think?”

"We didn't get to learn the conclusion to that one.

"It happened as Biden threw out another string of gaffes, mixing up New Hampshire with Vermont, claiming the 1968 assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy happened in the 1970s (shouldn't these years be 'seared' in anyone who remembers them's memory?), and a claim that this month's mass shootings happened in Houston and Michigan instead of Dayton and El Paso.

"Things are so bad in fact, according to LifeZette that:" . . .

Alyssa Milano Boasts About Her Past Abortions and the Joy They Brought Her

But first, this: Billboard Will Be Tribute to Chickens Killed in Truck Crash  “ 'PETA’s billboard will let travelers know that the best way to prevent such tragedies is to keep smart, sensitive chickens off the road in the first place by going vegan.' ”

PJ Media
"In the neverending debate about abortion we often hear from the left how abortion is such a difficult, private decision—that we’re even having a public debate on the issue is somehow degrading or anti-woman or something silly like that. However, abortion as a political wedge issue has made the once “safe, legal, and rare” mantra of the left outmoded, and now abortion has become a symbolic act of pride for liberal women to prove their left-wing feminist bona fides. In 2015, the Shout Your Abortion social media campaign was launched to give women the opportunity to share their abortion experiences online without "sadness, shame or regret" with the goal of "destigmatization, normalization, and putting an end to shame."
. . . 

“Fifteen years after that first love had fizzled, my life would be completely lacking all its great joys,” she said. “I would never had been free to be myself — and that’s what this fight is all about: freedom.”

Milano said her reasons for having abortions are “real” — as are the reasons of all other women. “They are ours — and they none of your f**king business.”

"If it’s not our business, why is she boasting about her abortions? If it’s not our business, why is she trying to prove herself by announcing she had the abortions in the first place? Her attitude about how much better her life is because she had them is bad enough, but using it to shore up her feminist credentials seems contradictory to her claim that it’s no one else’s business." . . .

 "C Inane"! You gotta love it!

"CNN (which might do well to change its name to "C Inane" 
and just admit to being a satire site) just launched a devastating new attack on Donald Trump. Oh, not devastating to Trump - but rather devastating to journalism in general and on-air news annihilist Chris "Call me Fredo and I'll break your legs!" Cuomo.

"Cuomo launched a serious broadside on the air claiming that Donald Trump "doesn't care the way other (presidents) have." As proof, he showed before-and-after photos of Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Barack Obama. Before the presidency, they were all young, energetic, and fresh faced. After the presidency, all three were indistinguishable from Ruth Bader Ginsburg "because of the stress they carry with them."

"But pictures of Donald Trump taken two years apart damningly showed that the President looks "exactly the same," which enraged Cuomo. "Maybe this President could use a sleepless night or two," Fredo fumed. "Maybe he should focus on fixing things, carrying that burden. Because that'sthe job and it should get hard!"

"Cuomo may have had more to say on the subject, but after so much vigorous shouting he had to be rushed back into the CNN makeup room to be re-spackled."

Mississippi prof, who went to Georgetown Prep with Brett Kavanaugh, sues HuffPost

Clarion Ledger  "A Gulfport professor and advocate is suing the national news website HuffPost alleging defamation involving a September 2018 story on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's days at Georgetown Prep school.
"Derrick Evans’ lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Gulfport against  HuffPost and its former journalist, Ashley Feinberg.
"The lawsuit said HuffPost and Feinberg repeatedly defamed Evans and friend Douglas Kennedy to a nationwide audience on multiple occasions in September 2018 by falsely asserting that they helped arrange the purchase and delivery of cocaine at Georgetown Prep that resulted in the April 1984 death of David Kennedy, Douglas’ brother and the son of the late U.S. attorney general and senator, Robert F. Kennedy.
“ 'These statements were not only false and defamatory, but outrageously so, and were published by defendants with knowledge of their actual falsity or in reckless disregard of the truth for the apparent purpose of creating a salacious story designed to drive internet traffic to HuffPost’s website,” the lawsuit said." . . .

When everyone and everything is racist, then nothing will be racist

Not that it’s any less influential for all that. On the contrary, we can count on academia, like the media, to keep propagating antiwhite sentiments, and to keep inculcating the destructive values of blind pity, needless guilt, and white self-loathing.  Christopher DeGroot

Noble Savages and the Antiwhite University  . . . "At American universities, students, taking after the professoriate, learn to eschew common sense for what Bertrand Russell called “the superior virtue of the oppressed.” Into the category of “the oppressed” goes anyone who is not a white man. The other part of the morality game consists in blaming everyone’s problems on white men. Thus, in the exceedingly violent city of Baltimore, it’s a bad thing to have armed police nearby to protect you from a man like Tyrone West. And if such a man were to harm you, it would somehow be the fault of white men." . . .


The 1619 Project: The great progressive diversion  . . . "To make this case, they push the founding of America back from 1776 — you know, the Declaration of Independence and all that other "white patriarchy" stuff — to 1619, when the first African slaves arrived on our shores. . . ."

Confounds Media Narrative  . . . "On nearly every news channel across the country, pundits have breathlessly insisted that the president of the United States is a bigot, a wildly unpopular figure who is one step away from being tossed out of the White House.

"Major politicians have also joined in that chorus, with 2020 hopefuls like Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren openly declaring that the president is a white supremacist. Other prominent voices have implied that anyone who defends Trump is automatically a racist. But all this ranting is falling on deaf ears." . . .

“A Penn Law Professor Wants to Make America White Again,”

Reading the interview, what comes through most strongly is Chotiner’s invincible ignorance. Most of what Wax says is common sense observation with which I think most Americans would agree. But Chotiner resolutely refuses to get the point.

The Growing Savery Crisis  "We wrote here about the New York Times’s “1619 project,” which attempts to sell the idea that America was founded on slavery, and that slavery is pretty much the only important thing that has ever happened here, even 154 years after its abolition. All with a view toward helping a Democrat win the presidency in 2020, I take it."

"Other press outlets have fallen into line, praising the Times and calling for slavery to be the only aspect of American history that is discussed by anyone, ever. (Those are my words, not theirs, but I think the characterization is essentially accurate.) See, for example, this Washington Post piece, as reprinted in the Star Tribune. 
"Some are alarmed at this attack on American history. It is reprehensible, of course, but the Times is recognized as a partisan rag by everyone–including those who love it for that reason–and I doubt anything the Times might do could swing 100 votes in the next election." . . .

Bob And The Burning Research Lab

Mike Adams  "Last year, I spoke on the issue of abortion at Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, California. During the Q&A, a young woman asked a question about rape and abortion. In the process of explaining my opposition to a rape exception to an abortion ban, I said that I believe we live in a world of tradeoffs, rather than a world of problems and solutions. Upon seeing the exchange in a video posted on YouTube, Bob submitted the following question:

We live in a world of trade-offs.” Indeed we do. So answer me this. There’s a science lab that’s burning down, and inside is a 10-year-old child, and next to him is a container full of 100 fertilized human embryos. You can save either the embryos or the child, but not both. What value do you put on life? Is it quantity alone? Or is it something else? 

"This is a common pro-choice hypothetical, which Bob has taken from Ellen Goodman without attribution. As a thought experiment, it tends to intimidate pro-lifers. However, it should not be intimidating at all because it rests on the faulty assumption that our value as humans is contingent upon the intuitive emotional reactions and moral judgments of other humans.
