IT’S A GENUINE SCANDAL THAT A GOP SENATE HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM AN ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR CIVIL RIGHTS: It’s been over a year since Eric Dreiband was nominated to head the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. The amount of time it took to nominate him was bad enough. But now we’re almost halfway through the Trump Administration, and nothing has happened. Despite the Senate being in GOP hands, Dreiband has not been confirmed.
RIGHT TRACK: “Forty-four percent (44%) of Likely U.S. Voters now think the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey for the week ending August 2. This is up three points from the previous two weeks and is the highest level of confidence since early March 2017. This finding has been running in the 40s for most weeks this year after being in the mid- to upper 20s for much of 2016, President Obama’s last full year in office.”

OUR MORONIC MEDIA–MSN PUBLISHES ANTI-SEMITIC NONSENSE: MSN has an article on the world’s richest families. It concludes with the Rothschild family which, the article informs us, has wealth estimated at up to $700 trillion (which is almost triple the world’s total wealth).
Apparently, no one at MSN understands that (1) the Rothschilds have been the subject of absurd anti-Semitic conspiracy theories for generations; and (2) the only place you would find such a ridiculous estimate of the family’s wealth would be at websites pushing said conspiracy theories. We all laughed at the DC councilman who thought the Rothschilds controlled the weather. What do we do about MSN? And before we attribute this to some naive intern or such, note that the story has been up for six days, and apparently no one at MSN has noticed it is propounding garbage.
SHOT: Left-wing mob interrupts Candace Owens’ breakfast with primal screams. “As you can see in this clip, Kirk and Owens are inside the restaurant and some of the protesters are inside screaming at them. When they head outside a small mob is chanting and giving them the finger. The protesters, who appear to be mostly young, white women, chant ‘F**k white supremacy.’ Someone with a bullhorn is yelling in Candace Owens ear and she tells that person to back off. And then the protesters begin primal screaming as loud as they can. The look on Owens’ face is priceless.”
