SOUNDS LIKE FOX IS DOOMED: “The way I hear it, the young Murdochs don’t like getting razzed for the O’Reilly-Of-It-All when they go to fancy cocktail parties in New York, London and L.A. They want to be part of the cool crowd and you can’t do that with the smell of conservative cordite on you. They care less about profits than about making Fox presentable to the liberal set.”

WHY ARE DEMOCRAT-MONOPOLY CITIES SUCH CESSPITS OF VANDALISM? End of an era, again: Genova closes Oakland ravioli factory:
Four generations of the family had worked in the factory and in the deli since the businesses opened on Telegraph Avenue in 1926, when Temescal was an Italian enclave. But after vandalism during protests and rising rents, the family decided to close the deli in April 2016.
It appears vandalism also played a role in closing the factory, which was relocated to Broadway across the street from Oakland Technical High School after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.
Patti DeVincenzi said one bill to fix the factory’s windows cost $15,000.
“We had planned to open a ravioli direct to customer operation from our factory on 4300 Broadway but with so much vandalism and graffiti we just couldn’t take it anymore,” she said in an email. “Recently, I was out scraping graffiti from the windows and was threatened from a group of youths from across the street that ‘tomorrow there will be more.’ And worse. And to be sure it was done, (they) actually etched into the windows.”
Oakland’s last Republican mayor left office 40 years ago.
JUST THINK OF HER AS A DEMOCRAT OPERATIVE WITH A BYLINE AND IT ALL MAKES SENSE:

ROGER KIMBALL ON TRUMP VS. OBAMA: A STUDY IN CONTRASTS:
As we approach Trump’s hundredth day in office, however, I am happy to say that I sense a change in the anti-Trump dynamic. The anti-Trump venom is as widespread and hysterical as ever. But as the days go by and Trump governs not as Hitler but as a deliberate executive, toting up victories here, setbacks there, rain checks and extenuations and opportunities, more and more people will say, “This guys is the real deal. He gets things done. He delivers on his promises. He really is making America great again.” The effect of that sentiment will be to marginalize the mainstream media. If you want a vivid example of exactly how that is done, contemplate what’s about to happen next Saturday when Trump skips the White House correspondents’ dinner and holds a big rally in Pennsylvania instead. I’m sure there will be lots of snide remarks, anti-Trump jokes, and the air will be thick with contemptuous self-satisfaction. What might not be obvious to the attendees, but what will be blindingly obvious to the rest of us, is that no one who is not crowded into that fetid atmosphere will care. A process of marginalization and emasculation is underway. If Trump’s second 100 days is as successful as his first 100 days, that process should be essentially complete by the end of the year.
Read the whole thing – and note that in regards to the DNC-MSM’s Trump-as-Hitler meme, as Glenn would say, all is proceeding as Scott Adams has foreseen.

NINA TEICHOLZ: Ditch The Egg White Omelet: “We were told for decades to avoid yolks and limit our dietary cholesterol to help protect against heart disease. Yet in 2015, the U.S. dietary guidelines dropped the daily cap on cholesterol. It turns out that studies since the 1950s had found that dietary cholesterol had little meaningful effect on blood cholesterol. What a shame for all of those delicious omelets we never got to eat. And, more seriously, for all the vitamins we missed — egg yolks are far more nutrient-dense than the whites, with super-rich amounts of biotin , choline and lutein.”

SHOCKER: Rachel Dolezal’s trans-racial shtick didn’t play very well in South Africa. “Only a white person could claim blackness and tour the world talking to blacks about blackness.”
Yes “trans-racialism” is the ultimate in White Privilege.
BARBECUE: IS THERE ANYTHING IT CAN’T DO? Palestinians fume over barbecue taunt of terrorist hunger strikers, as hundreds drop out. “Palestinian newspapers on Friday condemned the barbecue as another aggression against the Palestinian people.”
Personally, I would be unmoved by a Palestinian hunger strike regardless. But this response is quite amusing. These people deserve to be mocked mercilessly whenever they talk about human rights. And so do the anti-semitic Western groups that cover for them. Somebody should organize a worldwide pro-Israel “Barbecue for Bibi” to mark this occasion. . . .

MORE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE ON THE SPECTRUM: Students who avoid making eye contact could be guilty of racism, Oxford University says. “The university’s Equality and Diversity Unit has advised students that “not speaking directly to people” could be deemed a ‘racial microaggression’ which can lead to ‘mental ill-health’.”
Oh, there’s some “mental ill-health” there, all right.
