OPEN THREAD: It’s all yours.

TONY KATZ: Rep. Andre Carson Put My Family In Danger: The only reason Rep. Carson made that statement to the Indy Star was to whip up his supporters.. “Over the past month, I have written about Carson’s connection to anti-Semite and bigot Louis Farrakhan. I have written about a report that he attended a dinner with Farrakhan and Iranian President and terrorist financier Hassan Rouhani. (Carson denies attending the dinner, and – again! – claimed that his attendance was written down in error.). In multiple interviews, Carson has refused to repudiate Farrakhan for his bigoted statements. Rather, Carson has pivoted to false equivalency, turing the conversation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

Carson’s busted, and lashing out. He’s an antisemitic hater who associates with antisemitic haters.

SO GUN-CONTROLLERS ARE GOING ON ABOUT “HEALTH” RESEARCH INTO GUN USE. But the reason for the “ban” is that the research CDC et al. were doing was politicized junk.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: 2016: Trump hires Rex Tillerson – obvious proof of Russian collusion. 2018: Trump fires Rex Tillerson – obvious proof of Russian collusion.

Just ask Nancy Pelosi, Bill Kristol, Kurt Eicenwald, and other prominent members of “the resistance.” As “Streiff” of Red State writes, “Basically Never Trump World has picked up on the same theme. None of them bother to try to explain why Trump nominated Mike Pompeo, who is about as hawkish on Russia as it is possible to be without going full-metal Buck Turgidson. But consistency and honesty is never really a consideration in these critiques. The idea is to push the most damaging possible interpretation of the event and move on to the next.”
