The optimistic John Hinderaker follows the ongoing progressive meltdown and suggests we have reached Peak Insanity.

No way. We're still in the foothills, November is a long way off, and even November 2020 might not be the peak.

Mickey Fickey, previous thread. "Ext is right; the violent Left needs a few smackdowns to learn manners, before this turns deadly."

This is all part and parcel with my continuing rant about the slowness of any return to a prompt and certain rule of law for all the classes within our classless society. Don't think for a minute that thugs on streets are not connected to crooks in DC getting rich by breaking "laws" themselves. It has only been a little over 100 years that our own West gradually moved from "Colt" justice to a reliable system under accepted and predictable rules and norms.

We can go backwards just as fast.

Repost from last thread.

According to the FBI there are between 50000 to 65000 Top Secret classified emails that are related to the Steele Dossier, the FISA abuse scandal and 8 custodian (whatever that means) that have not been provided to Congress yet apparently because of technical issues related to processing the Top Secret info.

If these emails are classified correctly and do contain Top Secret info, then the big question becomes when and who assigned the Top Secret designation to the emails. Only a limited number of FBI officials have the authority to do that. Strzok or someone else involved in the criminal conspiracy to destroy Trump is one likely answer.

Peak insanity is when all blue hells (all urban areas) look like Madison 2011-12. The occupoop didn't catch on nationally then, though they tried. It might go full insanity by spring 2019 should we elect a red wave and have Congress pass reform laws.

We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents...

..Our Immigration policy, laughed at all over the world, is very unfair to all of those people who have gone through the system legally and are waiting on line for years! Immigration must be based on merit - we need people who will help to Make America Great Again!

What are the sources of income for all of these mob members?

If they are students, revoke their student loans. If they are teachers or professors, they need to be either fired or reprimanded with a warning.

Business owners? Boycott. Government employees? Fire them.

I cannot help but think a whole lot of these people are able to do this stuff because they have a source of income that doesn't penalize this activity. it's about time we had a way to cut off their income.

Also, why hasn't Maxine Waters been charged with inciting a riot? Last I heard that was against the law.

TM's Powerline link is very good.

"The unanswered question is whether conservatives–who far outnumber liberals in every survey–should adopt liberals’ methods. How about if we decree that anyone who supported Hillary Clinton must be fired from his job? How about if we harass identifiable Democrats when they go out in public? How about if we publish liberals’ addresses and home phone numbers and organize hate campaigns against them? How about if we demand that no news outlet publish any piece by a liberal, and follow up with boycotts and media campaigns?

Conservatives instinctively recoil from such tactics. But who knows? Maybe one of these days, liberals will no longer be able to count on the assumption that we are more civilized than they are."

--I've never found anyone interested in the wood.
Gun stocks and Missouri, is the holy grail, as best I can figure.--

Black walnut is used extensively in cabinetry and furniture, but size matters as does quantity. A small private mill owner would be your best bet. Large mills including guns rock guys usually have their own suppliers.
But if the trees are very old and especially if they have large hurls at their base would be very valuable.
While black and Claro walnut are used for guns rocks on production guns, English (thin shell with many different names) walnut is prized for the best custom stocks.

Clarice, great article. This stood out to me.

>>But this should have been known two years ago if we had a functional press at the time. Obama had to be getting emails from her private email address as opposed to [email protected]. Didn’t he see that and say to himself “Why is Hil sending me an email from a private email address?” He neither said anything about it nor put a stop to it. He just lied about it when asked.>>>>

My follow up would be. How did an unknown E-MAIL ACCOUNT and SERVER, get access OBAMA'S e-mail and address, and WHY would he open an e-mail for a private account that he was UNAWARE of???.

Maybe a PROFESSIONAL JOUNALIST might think of these questions??

[boris]

I like this:

The rapidity with which the status quo of “open borders” has been overtaken by the “populist crisis” suggests that, like the financial crisis of 2008, a bubble has burst. It went broke gradually then all of a sudden. The globalization and multiculturalism that were supposed to have delivered prosperity and security have not paid off. This failure has started a run on political capital of elites which has yet to stop.

Trump and the European populists are picking up political assets at a bargain. Glenn Reynolds observed that “the press has three main kinds of power. One is to motivate the left. Another is to swing the middle. And the third is to demoralize the right. It’s pretty much lost the last of these, and I suspect the second one is fading too.” That’s tragic for the press.

By Richard Fernandez

Probably a bad analogy but ...
When Dems decided they didn't want Indians in this country (think Pres Andrew Jackson) we got the Trail of Tears.

Funny how the left in this country keeps on turning into Orwell's nightmare. No self awareness. No balance. No objectivity.

To use their own lexicon, soon they will be burning and banning books and trying to force unbelievers to wear little MAGA stars on their clothing. Antifa already has their Kristallnacht schtick going.

Nixon played to the silent majority very successfully. This time the Left will be the ones with a Kent State on their hands and at that point I think the rest of us will have had enough.

When we know that their leadership has been doing everything they can to destroy anything and everything that defines us as a people, there will be harsh retribution.

[daddy on iPad]

Good point from Clarice's 12:39

12. Here is something to think about: The IG stated they could find no bias in the decisions made. Yet we discover through the report that Comey either inappropriately or illegally had used a private email address to perform FBI business. Thus, he was guilty of doing the same improper behavior Ms. Clinton was excused of in the investigation. Is it not possible that Comey knew if he endorsed indictment of Clinton his own malfeasance would come out and thus that drove his decision? Isn’t that bias?

re #PermitPatty:

1. Ettel had no business approaching the 8 year old girl. Report it. Then walk away. Would Ettel have approached an 18 year old "black youth?" Highly doubt it.

2. Selling merch on sidewalk in the vicinity of a professional sports stadium is a no-no. The little girl's mom is fortunate to not have been fined a pretty penny for "supervising" the girl's sales. The motive for selling doesn't mean squat, no matter how cute.

3. A sidewalk sales permit isn't difficult to get no matter if it is SFO or Berkeley. I've done it effortlessly in either place. What both have in common is the permit office DECLARES where you can sell once you identify WHERE you intend to sell. Ballpark area and Cal Stadium are off limits to most "street vendors."

4. Little girl's mom may have introduced the CloudVerse to a new grifting model: set up a sitch with actors; then, cry foul and hardship and such. Do-gooder idiots send them cash, prizes, and free chit. Hello.

I fully support the right of private businesses to refuse service to anyone for any reason, none of which should be of concern to the government.
I doubt that you support this principle. Regardless, from your public explanations you have made clear that your decision to eject Sarah Sanders is based wholly on arrogance, bigotry, small mindedness and smug satisfaction in what you mistakenly think is the moral superiority of your opinions over those of anyone who thinks differently than you.
You carry out this act of self-righteousness solely because we have come to live in a era of degraded civility and emotionalized pseudo-thought that leave uncivilized and infantile impulses in control of masses of people among whom you find safety in numbers.
Of course, supporting your right to act like babies does not mean supporting your business. Should you ever face government sanction for your behavior I will be amongst the first to defend your tables. I will then do my best via private persuasion to ensure that they remain empty.

Good afternoon! There is feel good story in the Maine media about two young women in Portland who have sponsored a Honduran woman and her ten year old daughter who are waiting for asylum. They are part of the group "Showing up for Social Justice." They are a group working to undermine white supremacy. None of us can be free until white supremacy ends.
Living in the woods is looking pretty good right now. :)

[Kevlar Kid]

"What.......FACT......in the story indicates that RACE has anything to do with it."

To your question, which is spot on; yet, we are talking American media involvement. Here's what they are "working with":

Fact 1: Caller is white.

Fact 2: Little girl is black.

Fact 3: Little girl's mama is black.

Fact 4: Our story takes place in San Francisco.

Fact 5: The story plays out through the lense of Deep State influenced/controlled social media complex.

Those ingredients *racialize* the story. It's not the same thing as "making the story about race."

Of course, that's because none of the facts assign "intent" to the characters or the Deep State media.

(sarc)For this story to "be about race" the caller would have to be wearing a Klan robe with hood. (/sarc)

Media misrepresentation is a set up to add one more thin layer of mindlessness to further clog filters of Americans (some, not all) who are pre-conditioned to THINK the story is about race, but don't say anything about that pre-conditioning.

That's how it works. 30 years experience working with this kind of media crap which pits American against American.

The interesting reversal here is that a black mother and her child are elevated and a white woman is demonized.

There is a motive i see in that play, hypothetically of course.

Is it not possible that Comey knew if he endorsed indictment of Clinton his own malfeasance would come out and thus that drove his decision? Isn’t that bias?

His defense is that he didn't have classified stuff in his emails, so at worst it was a minor work rule violation, and possibly not even that if he mirrored the communications on his official email.

I think that's the least of the problems with this investigation. Increasingly I get the impression the "stand down" order was issued by Lynch, and Comey, being the unprincipled beta that he is, went along with it, figuring that Hillary would get elected and he'd keep his job. He tried his best to keep the Weiner laptop discovery under wraps until after the election, but was forced by the NYPD and NY bureau to go public with it.

most of the product was in Russian and I think an argument could be made that the communications, although from abroad, would have 1st amendment protection here (and most of it was pretty tame, retweets of pictures etc). and mostly it is an onion Mueller probably doesn't want to peal-going down this road we'll find how much of the progressive agenda is supported by foreign government (specifically anti-fracking efforts, environmentalism generally, and illegal immigration).

I think lifson doesn't want to acknowledge ccordination by the media and think tanks around these common memes because there is a great deal of comparable coordination going on with the right side of the pincer as well. On the right it is generally the same large philanthropies funding the major think tanks and quite a few of the conservative blog sites.

Lifson himself uses rhetoric from time to time that is straight out of the prog playbook whether he is aware of the ancestry of the terms or not. I still remember a story he did involving some state university abolishing certain academic departments and the way he described academic disciplines was straight out of constructivism 101. It wasn't a body of knowledge. It was a way of perceiving and acting in the world.
