GOOD. BRING ON THE PAIN. MAKE CLEAR THE PRICE OF APPEASEMENT. More Black Student Protests At University Of Missouri.
UPDATE: From the comments:
The Republican Party in Missouri will benefit more from these ridiculous tantrums than they would from a hundred thousand dollars spent on campaign ads, and this benefit is free.
The Trump Presidential campaign is probably helped, as well.
I think so.
EUROPE’S PENSION RECKONING APPROACHES: Winter is coming for the blue social model in Europe as well the United States. Today’s Wall Street Journal offers a bracing look at the tenuousness of government pension guarantees in countries across the Continent, from Spain to Germany to Poland. “The global decline of the blue model stands to inflict even more pain on Europe than on the United States. Europeans are worse at making babies than the United States, worse at integrating immigrants, worse at saving money to pay boomer retirement bills—but no worse at making promises to voters that they will be unable to keep.”
Politicians told lies to gain power. When the bill comes due, they’ll try to find someone to tax to pay for the lies they told, and if those people don’t want to pay the bill for the politicians’ politically motivated lies, they’ll be called greedy.

THE WAGES OF APPEASEMENT: Mizzou Protests Lead to Plunge In Freshmen, Massive Budget Deficits.
The fallout from the fake Mizzou protests continues to destablize the University of Missouri. Today the interim chancellor of the university emailed students that the university will enroll 1500 less students than projected and faces a budget shortfall of $32 million this year.
While the 1500 fewer students aren’t broken out by year, the vast majority of them will come from the entering freshman class. How substantial is the decline in enrollment? Based on Mizzou admission data from past years we’re talking about a potential 20% drop in enrolled freshmen.
That’s staggering.
Good. We need an example, to encourage the others.
And to spell things out for administrators: These were never “student demands.” Most students didn’t care or were actively hostile, but were browbeaten into silence — with some assistance from you. So now it’s “Irish Democracy” as people passively withdraw their support. If I were a Missouri legislator, I’d take that $32 million entirely out of administration, and lay administrators off en masse.
IT’S COME TO THIS: Even NPR agrees that Obamacare has failed.
The GOP establishment put forth Jeb, and GOP voters rejected him. The Dem establishment put forth Hillary, and Dem voters don’t much like her but the Dem system is much more stringently rigged to protect the establishment’s choice.

THE SHAPE OF ADS TO COME: Watch This Vintage Campaign Ad That’s Eerily Similar To 2016:
“I voted for Dwight Eisenhower the first time I voted,” the man says. “I voted for Nixon the last time. But when we come to Senator Goldwater, now it seems we’re up against a very different kind of a man. This man scares me” (emphasis added).
Of course, as so often happens, Barry Goldwater eventually found the proverbial “strange new respect” from the left as time passed, so that his legacy could be used to trash first Presidents Reagan and then Bush #41 and #43. But don’t be surprised if some version of this ad is produced whether Trump or even Cruz is the nominee this fall.

WITH SEVERAL MONTHS’ EXPERIENCE, IT SEEMS EVEN CLEARER THAT THE GOP should have followed Frank Cagle’s advice on Trump.
And Cagle’s invocation of Cas Walker is dead on. My favorite line about Walker, from George Dempster: “If I ordered a whole carload of SOB’s and they only brought Cas, I’d sign for the shipment.”

CAITLYN’S COURAGE: “Backlash over Caitlyn Jenner’s Cruz Support Proves Leftists are the Real Bigots.”
Caitlyn Jenner’s support of GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz is sending the LGBT activist community into conniptions. True to form, radical liberals prove they’re the truly bigoted ones by calling the transgender reality star a “lunatic” for praising the most conservative candidate in the race.
In an interview with The Advocate, Jenner boldly said, “I like Ted Cruz. I think he’s very conservative and a great constitutionalist and a very articulate man. I haven’t endorsed him or anything like that. But I also think, he’s an evangelical Christian, and probably one of the worst ones when it comes to trans issues.”
If Jenner thinks Cruz is weak on trans issues, then why support him? With a commitment to constitutional principles that should make establishment politicians bury their heads in shame, Jenner explains that while Democrats are “better when it comes to these types of social issues,” if we don’t have liberty, we don’t have anything. This position truly goes against the liberal grain as identity politics takes a backseat to freedom.
“Number 1, if we don’t have a country, we don’t have trans issues,” Jenner said. “We need jobs. We need a vibrant economy. I want every trans person to have a job. With $19 trillion in debt and it keeps going up, we’re spending money we don’t have. Eventually, it’s going to end. And I don’t want to see that. Socialism did not build this country. Capitalism did. Free enterprise. The people built it. And they need to be given the opportunity to build it back up.” . . .
Jenner’s comments stunned LGBT activists. . . .
Well, I can see how they’d be stunned. I mean, the gall of Jenner, to elevate the needs of the country or the Constitution over those of the LGBT community! Doesn’t he know that once one is part of that community, there can be no deviation from the script?
