FACEBOOK FALLOUT: “This is the first time that I’ve suspected that a WaPo editorial was driven by the interests of its owner and its own business model rather than a stance on the merits.”

Plus, from the comments: “With all the overlapping ownership interests it’s almost like all the big tech companies are really just a single consortium or conglomerate. A cartel? One of those c-words.”

HEALTH: Freezing the ‘hunger nerve’ could help with weight loss.

SEE, THIS WOULD BE A MORE PERSUASIVE ARGUMENT IF THE “EXPERIENCED” CANDIDATE WASN’T THE CORRUPT AND INEPT ANDREW CUOMO: Cynthia Nixon and the Degradation of Experience. And that was true with regard to Trump and Hillary, too.

DANIEL GREENFIELD: INTERSECTIONALITY, TRIBALISM AND FARRAKHAN.

The comingling of black nationalism with intersectional politics has produced a new generation (often of second-generation radicals) that dresses up its racism not only in the lyricism of the old black nationalism of Wright and Baraka, but in the obtuse academic jargon of intersectionality.

That’s where Tamika Mallory and Ta-Nehisi Coates come from. But political word salads and poetry only conceal what you choose not to pay attention to. And that’s why we’re talking about Louis Farrakhan.

The mass of progressive media articles, essays and explainers deployed to protect the Women’s March can be summed up as, “Stop paying attention.” And what we’re not supposed to be paying attention to is the slow death of liberalism and its substitution by the intolerant tribal extremism of identity politics.

It’s why the echo chamber of progressive media has turned against the New York Times editorial page where too many articles questioning identity politics and political censorship have appeared. Bari Weiss and Quinn Norton, articulate young women, are the most immediate targets, but the larger target is James Bennet, the page’s gatekeeper, who is unwisely giving liberals a glimpse of where they’re headed.

The remaining liberals still wandering the open plains of a dying ecosystem don’t understand that they are becoming extinct. When they endorse vocal identity politics movements, it is because they believe that addressing the grievances of their extremists is a necessary step to a tolerant colorblind society.

They haven’t grasped that a tolerant multiracial society is the last thing supremacists of any race want.

YOUR DAILY TREACHER: Facebook Falls Out of Favor with the Left.

WHY ARE DEMOCRATS PRAISING GOP’S ‘FREDDY KRUEGER’ SPENDING BILL? When Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi can barely contain their glee about House passage of that $1.3 Trillion “omnibus spending bill,” something is very wrong.

President Donald Trump supported the measure, too, so he shouldn’t be surprised in coming days when talk heats up again of a new third party, a term limits amendment to the Constitution and convening by the states of a constitutional convention. A demoralized base leads straight to Trump having to deal with a Democratic Congress that won’t hesitate to impeach him.
