IN THE EMAIL FROM PAM UPHOFF: Time Loop.

ABOUT THE MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTING:What say you?

‘CNN WILL BE DOXXING EVERY BOY SCOUT IN AMERICA:’ Trump drives DNC-MSM (further) insane by appearing earlier tonight at the 2017 National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia. In response to Trump essentially forcing the media to show the size of the crowd by insisting they didn’t have the guts to, Kristin Donnelly of NBC News tweets a shot of a television monitor, presumably somewhere in NBC’s offices or a remote truck, with some sort of creepy-looking Obama doll grinning into it:

With those big ears and dog-eating grin, NBC would have an aneurysm if that appeared in a shot from a Fox News studio. And as Twitchy spots in the above link, because of Trump’s appearance tonight, our totally objective, unbiased media is comparing the Boy Scouts to the Hitler Youth, and MSNBC’s Chris Hayes of all people (and all networks) is tweeting, “Everything is culture war. Everything.”

Which side started the culture war? Who kept advancing the front lines until they reached all the way into the pizza parlor, cake baker, and the lady’s room? If we’re going to talk about a culture war involving kids, just as a reminder, MSNBC ran an ad that said (speaking of partying like it’s 1939) that children belong the government – a commercial that aired with the goal of increasing its audience size by saying something that would flatter “Progressive” sensibilities – in 2013:

DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH: Minnesota cop who fatally shot Australian woman was ‘fast-tracked’ into the force. They claim his training was just as rigorous as anyone’s in spite of this, but given the mayor’s eagerness to tout his presence on the force, I have my doubts.

UPDATE: From the comments:

“This officer completed that training very well, just like every officer.”

So, all your officers are panicky little bitches?

Ouch. But I suspect that if any journalists dig into Noor’s training record and the emails discussing it, they’ll find out that he wasn’t doing so well and there was pressure to push him through anyway.

MY USA TODAY COLUMN: Forget Russia. I’d fire Jeff Sessions over civil forfeiture. “Sessions is doing exactly the wrong thing by doubling down on asset seizure. The message it sends is that the feds see the rest of us as prey, not as citizens. The attorney general should be ashamed to take that position. And, really, he should just be gone.”
