LAWS ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE. THIS IS ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE! WVU opens gender neutral bathrooms, ignores handicap accessibility laws. Also, some victim groups are more equal than others.
TO BE FAIR, SHE HAS MEMORY PROBLEMS AND IS, ACCORDING TO HUMA, “OFTEN CONFUSED.” Oops. Fox News catches Hillary telling story she just heard “yesterday” three weeks earlier.
LONG MARCH THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS, CONT’D: The left orientation of industrial relations. “Mitchell Langbert has a new article out, in which he demonstrates that the field of industrial relations (like legal academia) is dominated by left/liberal pro-union, pro-regulation perspectives, and has only token representation of free-market scholars and views.”

WELL, THEY SAY WOMEN ARE BETTER AT MULTITASKING: What women REALLY think about: Busy wife draws her husband a diagram of what goes on in her head – including ‘house is dirty’, ‘bills’ and ‘Doctor Who theme song.’ I just hope her husband’s name is Stephen. . .

THE TRUTH IS SO VALUABLE THAT IT MUST BE DEFENDED BY A BODYGUARD OF LIES: ‘Eyewash’: How the CIA deceives its own workforce about operations. “Agency veterans described the tactic as an infrequent but important security measure, a means of protecting vital secrets by inserting fake communications into routine cable traffic while using separate channels to convey accurate information to cleared recipients.”

Just ban local newspaper comments — that should do the trick.
Discussions with Intelligence Community officials have revealed that Ms. Clinton’s “unclassified” emails included Holy Grail items of American espionage such as the true names of Central Intelligence Agency intelligence officers serving overseas under cover. Worse, some of those exposed are serving under non-official cover. NOCs (see this for an explanation of their important role in espionage) are the pointy end of the CIA spear and they are always at risk of exposure – which is what Ms. Clinton’s emails have done.
Not only have these spies had their lives put in serious risk by this, it’s a clear violation of Federal law. The Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, enacted due to the murder of the CIA’s station chief in Athens after his cover was blown by the left-wing media, makes it a Federal crime to divulge the true identity of any covert operative serving U.S. intelligence if that person has not previous been publicly acknowledged to be working for our spy agencies.
People really go to jail for breaking this law. John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer, recently emerged from two years in prison for unauthorized disclosure of classified information, including exposing the identity of an Agency colleague who was serving under cover. . . .
Hillary’s emails also include the names of foreigners who are on the CIA payroll, according to Intelligence Community officials. Since it can be safely assumed that several foreign intelligence agencies intercepted Ms. Clinton’s unencrypted communications, this directly threatens the lives of the exposed individuals. “It’s a death sentence,” explained a senior Intelligence Community official: “if we’re lucky only agents, not our officers, will get killed because of this.” (Agents are foreigners working for U.S. intelligence while officers are American staffers.)
CIA and the entire Intelligence Community are in panic mode right now, trying to determine which of our intelligence officers and agents have been compromised by EmailGate. At a minimum, valuable covers have been blown, careers have been ruined, and lives have been put at serious risk. Our spies’ greatest concern now is what’s still in Hillary’s emails that investigators have yet to find.
She should be awaiting trial, not running for President.
OBVIOUSLY AUDITIONING TO BE A GUEST SPEAKER AT BULLETS & BOURBON THIS DECEMBER: ‘To smoke a deer, you must always be on time’: Rifle-toting Gerard Depardieu causes outrage with watch advert in which he boasts about shooting animals.
CLINTON-SHILLING JOURNALISTS don’t like it when people point out they’re shilling for Clinton. “Not all Sanders supporters are dicks. Not all Sanders supporters have dicks. The mainstream left-leaning press’s attempts to insist otherwise are a shameful indictment of the fact that many of them are in the tank for Clinton—and they don’t like being called on it.”
Anything that departs from the narrative is bigotry.
DISPATCHES FROM AIRSTRIP ONE: The London Guardian Shuts Down Reader Comments as the Left’s War on Dissent Continues:
The Guardian has announced it will close comments underneath articles on race, immigration, and Islam. The reason, according to the ultra-progressive newspaper, is that such topics attract an “unacceptable level of toxic commentary.”
“The overwhelming majority of these comments tend towards racism, abuse of vulnerable subjects, author abuse and trolling” said Guardian executive editor Mary Hamilton. “The resulting conversations below the line bring very little value but cause consternation and concern among both our readers and our journalists.”
Consternation among their journalists? Well, we wouldn’t want to afflict the comfortable. That’s never been the proper role of journalism.
