WHY YOU HAVEN’T HEARD MORE OF THE NASHVILLE SHOOTER INCIDENT.

HOW’S THAT HOPEY-CHANGEY STUFF WORKIN’ OUT FOR YA? (CONT’D): Since 2007: 1.4 Million Manufacturing Jobs Lost; 1.4 Million Waiter/Bartender Jobs Gained.

YEAH, THAT’S WHY NOBODY CARES: Homelessness is a gendered issue, and it mostly impacts men. “Why aren’t homeless charities doing more to address the fact that the majority of homeless people are men?” Because in our society, men are disposable.

WHEN YOU’VE LOST DAVID BROOKS. . .

Wars, military or economic, are measured by whether you achieved your stated objectives. By this standard the U.S. and its allies lost the war against Iran, but we were able to negotiate terms that gave only our partial surrender, which forces Iran to at least delay its victory. There have now been three big U.S. strategic defeats over the past several decades: Vietnam, Iraq and now Iran.

Two thirds of which were lost by the man Brooks determined to be worthy to be president only a few months into his first term as senator based upon the sharpness of his trouser creases.

CLASSIEST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF ALL TIME TELLS CNN THAT MEGYN KELLY HAS ‘BLOOD COMING OUT OF HER WHEREVER:’

Donald Trump on Friday night attacked Fox News host Megyn Kelly for menstruating. “She had blood coming out of her eyes. Or blood coming out of her whereever,” Trump told CNN’s Don Lemon about her questioning of him at Thursday night’s debate. “You call women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals,” she said. “Hours later, Trump retweeted a statement calling Kelly a “bimbo.”

Via Twitchy, here’s the video of Trump’s telephone interview with Lemon:

After Trump’s inflammatory remarks, Erick Erickson tweeted “I have invited [Kelly] to attend tomorrow night’s RedState Gathering event in place of Donald Trump.”

Atlanta’s WXIA TV adds:

Ten of the GOP’s White House hopefuls had been slated to speak at the confab at Atlanta’s Intercontinental Hotel Buckhead on Friday and Saturday, which was slated to culminate with a three-hour “RedState Tailgate” at the College Football Hall of Fame in downtown Atlanta hosted by Trump Saturday evening.

In a scathing blog post late Friday night, Erickson said that he had given a lot of latitude to Trump due to his reputation as a “blunt talker” and not being a professional politician. However, Erickson says, there is a line of decency that Trump crossed during a CNN interview Friday night with comments about Fox News commentator Megyn Kelly.

Daniel Foster of NRO quips, “Trump will get a two-point bump for his ‘blood’ remarks, because my theory is true: his base is the ‘Men’s Rights’ crowd.”

UPDATE: Carnival barkers stick together; Trump picks up coveted Piers Morgan endorsement:

Donald Trump may not be everyone’s cup of tea but with this hugely entertaining, deeply provocative campaign he is single-handedly destroying the modern cult of political correctness.

We live in an era now where every tiny slip of the tongue by a public figure is instantly torched by social and print/cable media to such ludicrous levels of hysteria that mere apologies often aren’t enough.

We’re only happy when the often accidental miscreant lies prostrate on the floor, weeping and wailing, begging for forgiveness whilst simultaneously resigning.

As Greg Gutfeld responds, “we’ve now conflated the very worst of behavior that the PC movement aimed to eradicate, with a sound rebellion against the PC movement. sad”.

JAZZ SHAW: Dear candidates: maybe it’s time to stop asking “what’s wrong” with Trump. “The question isn’t what’s wrong with Trump. He’s winning. And the question darned sure shouldn’t be what’s wrong with the voters who respond to him positively. That’s a political suicide dive. The real question is and has always been, why aren’t you doing better?“

ADVICE TO BRUCE/CAITLYN JENNER: “Why not just come out as boring? Boringness is also an orientation. It’s valid. It’s not much of a TV show, but it’s something many people are ashamed of and struggle to hide.”

Plus: “Why does Kaufman imagine that a boring man would would become interesting by taking on the various outward and inward trappings of womanhood?! Women are quite often boring. Theoretically, perhaps, Jenner was boring because Jenner was hiding Jenner’s true self. But I watched enough of ‘I Am Cait’ to form a permanent working assumption that Jenner really is boring. And being a woman, like being a man, is boring.”

INCOME FROM WORKING HARDER IS TAXED; TIME SPENT WITH KIDS IS NOT: The surprising number of parents scaling back at work to care for kids.

This story is pitched — natch — as evidence of the need for “affordable child care,” which is to say government child care, and assorted Democrat-friendly workplace mandates. But it’s really more evidence that the model whereby two parents work full-time and outsource childrearing is an unsatisfactory one. The biggest problem is that, no matter how much you pay them, nobody cares as much about your kids as you do.

21ST CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: I Hate Having Sex With My Husband.

WORRIED ABOUT YOUR PRIVILEGE? WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE AN ABUSED UNDERCLASS? START A BUSINESS!

Well, for those of you concerned about living down a similar life of privilege, I have a solution for you: start a business.  Doing so instantly converted me into a hated abused underclass.  Every government agency I work with treats me with a presumption of guilt — when I get called by the California Department of Labor, I am suddenly the young black man in St. Louis called out on the street by an angry and unaccountable cop**.  Every movie and TV show and media outlet portrays me as a villain.  Every failing in the economy is somehow my fault.   When politicians make a proposal, it almost always depends on extracting something by force from me — more wages for certain employees, more health care premiums, more hours of paperwork to comply with arcane laws, and always more taxes.

As the late George McGovern — and even Matt Yglesias(!) — discovered firsthand, when they learned just how difficult the socialist policies they espouse make life for a business owner.
