UNLESS SOME CRAZED LEFTY HOPPED UP ON HATE-MEDIA SHOOTS HIM FIRST: Trump Will Probably Be Impeached if Republicans Lose the House.

But maybe the GOP should get serious between now and 2018.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Roger Simon: Baseball Shooter a Big Wake-Up Call for the Left.

This man came from the extreme end of Trump Derangement Syndrome, but he didn’t emerge entirely by himself. He came from a petri dish that we are all submerged in, nurturing hate as never before in most of our lifetimes.

We need look no further than yesterday’s grilling of Jeff Sessions by the Senate Intelligence Committee. This investigation is putatively about Russian interference in our election, but we learned nothing about that. Not a thing. In fact, it was barely mentioned. The entire event was used as a means to “get Trump” and/or his associates. Senators like Heinrich ooze hate, obviously playing to a likeminded crowd. It is indeed a “witch hunt” and any reader ofThe Crucible knows where that leads.

Meanwhile, just this past weekend, here in Los Angeles, we had our annual gay pride celebration. But it didn’t seem to be about pride at all, only about unremitting attacks on our president (and by implication anyone Republican), as if everyone in the streets would have been delighted to see a replay of Kathy Griffin’s nauseating decapitation or the denouement of the current Shakespeare in the Park production where a Trump/Caesar is beheaded nightly. (Ironically, Trump was on record for gay marriage long before Clinton or Obama, but facts mean nothing to the pussy-hatted.)

And then there were the wild accusations of anti-Semitism when nearly half of Trump’s family is Jewish and — as it turned out — of the few such incidents that have occurred since his inauguration none were committed by his supporters. In fact, they all came from the left. This was, of course, barely reported. It didn’t fit the narrative of hate.

And this is to omit the most horrifying examples of all — the absolutely despicable behavior toward conservatives on our campuses. It’s like the return of the Brown Shirts.

Sense a pattern?

Yes.

IN 4.5 BILLION YEARS, YOU’D THINK SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SEEN SOMETHING? Our sun might have had an evil twin that killed the dinosaurs.

DEAR DEMOCRATS, TURN BACK NOW:
A radical from a fringe group, led by insane rumor and innuendo, has shot someone who is not even the leader of the faction he hates.
Is Rep. Scalise’s middle name Ferdinand?
Listen to me now; stop believing crazy people, even those in the media. Yesterday, in a friend’s post someone called me racist/sexist/homophobic or implied it because apparently I want to “suppress voices” in science fiction. NO ONE who knows me can believe that. This woman knows me. And this was over an aesthetic disagreement in tiny, irrelevant science fiction.
LISTEN TO ME NOW, it’s time to believe your lying eyes and accept that people can disagree with you without being evil. It’s time to investigate all news, even the ones you think confirm you bias. It’s time to wake up.
YOU DON’T WANT TO GO DOWN THIS ROAD. There is nothing for you here. It didn’t turn out well in 1914. It won’t turn out well now.
THIS MEANS STUFF LIKE THIS STOPS: MSNBC Invites on “Analyst” Who Called for an ISIS Bombing of a Trump Building to Put Today’s Shootings in Context.

AND THIS STOPS: WaPo “Writer” Hopes Scalise Will Die In Surgery.

AND THIS STOPS TOO: Shooter Was Big Fan of Queen of Conspiracies Rachel Maddow; Driven to Violence By Climate of Hate Pushed by Left and Media.

If you keep driving people this way, you won’t like the results.  And neither will we.

WELL, SOME PEOPLE DO.

NAH.  THE ONES WHO CAN DECIDE HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT HAS THE POWER: Millennials think whoever has the money has the power.

AND WE KNOW THE FRUITS OF THE POISONOUS TREE: Mark Ruffalo: No More ‘White Conservatives” on NBC. Straight up racism and intolerance brandished as a mark of pride.  Mr. Ruffalo, you’re hired to act.  Shut up and act.

YEP, IT IS A CLIMATE OF HATE: 8 Times Artists Tried to ‘Kill” Presidents Bush, Trump.

I WASN’T GOING TO LINK THIS: Because it’s a bit of inside baseball.  The “gentleman” Larry is taking down has on several occasions used deceptive pull quotes to attack me and my blog. BUT you should read this A Monster Hunter Nation Opinion Piece: Mike Glyer is a Scumbag, followed by this unintentional companion piece: Inside a click farm that helps fake online popularity.  The timing is amazing.

THE CHILDREN OF THE ETERNAL NOW HAVE NO HISTORY: ‘Call Of Duty’ Makers Remove Swastika From ‘Historical’ Video Game.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, wait, they’re serious? Group Calls for UN To Ban ‘Cultural Appropriation’.

YEAH: Rejecting the ‘heckler’s veto’. And that goes double for the “shooter’s veto”.

THE LEFT ELEVATES THE VIEWS OF YOUNG PEOPLE BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THE LEFT’S LIES: Let’s stop treating the young as political sages: We should be challenging the naive, unaffordable views of many under-25s, not kowtowing to them.

ROGER KIMBALL: Trump and the end of the beginning. “There is a small pen of chihuahuas yapping wildly that Trump should be impeached because, because, because—the doggies will get back to us later with a reason. (The real reason is simply that they don’t like Mr. Trump.) Were that to happen, it would precipitate the gravest crisis since South seceded. But I don’t expect it to happen. Why? Because Trump is succeeding like gangbuster nearly everywhere: judicial appointments are one thing all his supporters point to, but there is also his roll-back of the regulatory burden, his plan to cut taxes, to ditch and replace Obamacare (it’s happening), his enforcement of the immigration laws, his revitalization of the military, and on and on. The man has had a startling string of successes, though the media won’t tell you that.”

Sigh. I remember when America’s tech titans were libertarians instead of crony-socialists. You know, back when they actually invented new and interesting stuff.

FLASHBACK: More Reports of Violence, Threats Against Conservative Students.

RICHARD FERNANDEZ: “A civilization at a decision point is almost by definition walking the razor’s edge between two futures. One future may lead to a catastrophe whose survivors must begin again from scratch. The other choice leads to a radical improvement in the human standard of living and greater potential for all. It would seem an easy choice. But the characteristic of a system in institutional crisis, which along with the lack of new energy sources and a failure of public education create our ‘world in disarray,’ is that the right choice is impossible to make.”

BECAUSE DEMOCRATS: Why is it sexist when men interrupt Kamala Harris, but not Betsy DeVos?

IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MATH: Terry McAuliffe: ‘We Lose 93 Million Americans a Day to Gun Violence.’
