THIS IS ALSO MY FEELING:  Matt Gaetz: Democrats ‘Are Testing What They Can Get Away With’ to ‘Steal 2020’.  They need their snouts smacked with a rolled up newspaper, but most of all, people, we MUST true the vote.  This time for real.

SPEAKING OF NATIONALISM, THAT INVASION, MARCHING UNDER FOREIGN FLAGS WHILE WEARING UNIFORMS [SOCCER UNIFORMS HAVE STRONG NATIONAL AND REGIONAL TIES EVERYWHERE BUT IN THE US] IS STILL ON THE WAY: Filmmaker Ami Horowitz Embedded Himself In The Migrant Caravan.

NO. LET’S GO FURTHER: IN DEFENSE OF ALL NATIONALISM.  WWI WAS NOT CAUSED BY NATIONALISM, IT WAS CAUSED BY STUPID INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCES.  A WORLD WITH NO BORDERS WOULD BE JUST LIKE THAT. EVERYTHING WOULD BE A WORLD WAR. AND WORLD WAR II WAS THE SECOND EPISODE OF WORLD WAR I AND NATIONALISM WAS INCIDENTAL TO THE SOCIALISM. RAISING CHILDREN TO HATE THEIR OWN COUNTRIES IS KILLING THE WEST. LET’S STOP THAT MESS NOW. PEOPLE FEEL THEY NEED TO BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER.  I’D RATHER THE SOMETHING BIGGER BE THEIR OWN COUNTRY THAN “SOCIAL JUSTICE” OR “INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISM” OR OTHER THINGS THAT ALLOW THE BOOT TO STOMP ON THE HUMAN FACE FOREVER:  In defense of American nationalism.

We stop running from nationalism right now, right here.  Of course we, in America, have the best country in the world to love, but if other people want to be proud of their countries and think they’re wonderful, good on them.  Has to be better than being proud of how they’re being invaded or hating on their own history. Heaven knows, it would be better for even the French to find love of country, rather than elect people like Macron. Sure, Napoleon. But if they get another one of those we put him down again. Still better than international socialism.

YOUR DAILY TREACHER: Hillary Clinton Is History.

Apparently, it was Republican members of [The Texas Board of Education] who decided Hillary should be cut from the curriculum. Which makes sense. If kids aren’t taught about the massive, entirely avoidable blunder the Democrats made in 2016, those kids might grow up to make the same mistake all over again. Decades from now, they might nominate another Hillary Clinton-type figure. And that would be good for the Republicans.

So I’m glad these guys aren’t being allowed to erase Hillary’s astonishing failure from our shared history. Teach our children, and our children’s children, for generations to come. Tell them what happened to Hillary, and to the people who trusted her. Let the name “Hillary” become synonymous with “shameful, agonizing defeat.”

Heh, indeed.™ It’s Jim Treacher, so read the whole thing.

WHO’S GRATEFUL? Kyle Smith reviews Roger Daltrey’s Thanks a Lot Mr. Kibblewhite: “Who Singer’s Delightful New Autobiography:”

[Keith Moon’s antics] weren’t so hilarious “when you think about it soberly,” Daltrey says. “The pranks, the explosions, the general devastation, there was usually someone at the other end of it having a pretty miserable time.” After an early TV appearance, Daltrey recalls, Moon set off a smoke bomb so large that it knocked him several feet forward and ensured that Townshend’s hearing was “never 100 percent again.” That same U.S. tour, Daltrey carefully rationed his spending, limiting himself to one hamburger a day, only to be told upon return to the U.K. that there were no profits to be shared. “I’d hardly spent anything,” Daltrey says. “Yes, but do you know what Keith spent?” his agent replied. Daltrey had to borrow money for his flight home.

It’s not hard to see how rock can create a conservative. These days the singer of the No. 1 conservative rock song of all time detests Jeremy Corbyn (whom he, not without cause, calls a “communist”), supports Brexit, and says of the Labour party, “It pains me to say it, but in my life a Labour government comes in with incredible optimism and leaves the country in the sh*t.” His abiding conservative feature, however, is the gratitude that resounds through this book. He gives thanks for his wife, Heather, who has stood by him since 1971, and for his other life partner, too: “I made the conscious decision that if my job was going to be the singer of Pete’s songs, and if Pete’s songs were genius, which they were, then I would be happy with my lot, thank you very much.”

CHANGE: Trump Endorses Criminal Justice Bill, Giving Momentum to Long-Delayed Reforms.

Trump’s statements today were the culmination of months of battle between criminal justice reform supporters and law-and-order conservatives to sway the president’s opinion on the issue.

Trump announced his support for better reentry programs for inmates in his 2017 State of the Union speech, but it was never clear if he would stomach the sentencing reforms that Senate leaders demanded.

On one side, supporting the bill, was Trump son-in-law and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, celebrities like Kim Kardashian, and conservative criminal justice advocates, such as Mark Holden, the general counsel of Koch Industries and the chairman of Freedom Partners.

On the other side were recently resigned Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Sen. Tom Cotton (R–Ark.), who once complained that America has “an under-incarceration problem.”

Well, in fact, serious violent criminals are under-incarcerated, which is in part a consequence of filling the prisons with others.

UPDATE: Well.
