“THIS ARTICLE INCLUDES RHETORICAL USES OF PROFANITY:” Every Time Democrats Talk, I Want To Vote For Trump Twice.
I am a middle-of-the-road Republican who voted for Trump with the utmost reluctance in 2016. He sure wasn’t perfect. He was no Cicero, either––though he can give a decent speech when the chips are down. He had a few extra skeletons rattling in his closet, especially compared to colorless non-entities like Jeb. So yeah, I was queasy about voting for an ex-registered-Democrat-from-New-York-and-possible-liberal-now-turned-Republican.
Was I worried? Hell, yeah! Was I depressed? You bet. But, really, what options were there? Hillary? Jill Stein? Seriously? Trump wasn’t my first choice or my second choice or my third choice, but by the time November 2016 rolled around, Trump was the only choice on the menu. So I swallowed hard, took a leap of faith, and pulled the lever for the Donald.
And let me tell ya, every time one of these newly minted Democratic “stars” opens their mouth, the same thought goes through my mind: Thank God for Trump. Trump is my last line of defense. Trump is the only thing that stands between me and these hallucinogenic socialist nut jobs. Trump is what’s keeping chaos and left-wing insanity at bay.
True.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:
AT AMAZON, save on Automotive Tools and Equipment.
It’s hard to remember now, but back in 1989 everyone raved about how the Tim Burton Batman was wonderfully “dark” after the campy Sixties TV version. Twenty years later Christopher Nolan’s version made Burton look like Mel Brooks, but Nolan’s “dark knight” will wind up as the camp crusader sooner or later. It seems to be an inevitable trajectory for the franchise. One consequence of “darkening” Batman is that it makes him rather dull — and the villains tend to become rather more lurid and vivid. What do you remember about Burton’s first Batman? Jack Nicholson’s star turn as the Joker. Batman Returns? Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman, even though her mask didn’t fit. A few months afterwards, I remember passing a store window with a huge poster: “BATMAN RETURNS THE VIDEO.” And I thought: who can blame him?
Heh. Read the whole thing.
YET THERE’S FAR LESS INTERNATIONAL CRITICISM THAN THERE WAS OF GUANTANAMO: After Mass Detentions, China Razes Muslim Communities to Build a Loyal City.
In this old Silk Road city in western China, a state security campaign involving the detention of vast numbers of people has moved to its next stage: demolishing their neighborhoods and purging their culture.
Two years after authorities began rounding up Urumqi’s mostly Muslim ethnic Uighur residents, many of the anchors of Uighur life and identity are being uprooted. Empty mosques remain, while the shantytown homes that surrounded them have been replaced by glass towers and retail strips like many found across China.
Food stalls that sold fresh nang, the circular flatbread that is to Uighur society what baguettes are to the French, are gone. The young men that once baked the nang have disappeared, as have many of their customers. Uighur-language books are missing from store shelves in a city, the capital of China’s Xinjiang region, that has long been a center of the global Uighur community. . . .
China’s Communist Party has waged an aggressive campaign in Xinjiang to counter what it says are violent, extremist tendencies among the region’s 14 million Turkic Muslims, most of them Uighurs.
To realize its “deradicalization” goals, authorities have detained what United Nations experts say have been as many as a million Muslims in a network of internment camps—and subjected the rest to mass digital surveillance. Chinese leaders characterize the camps as vocational training centers, promoting them as an innovation in the global war on terror and disputing the one-million figure.
“We can’t have a culture anymore,” said a Uighur resident of Urumqi who works at a state-owned resources company. He said he stopped visiting his local mosque after officials came to his house to confiscate his Quran. “No one goes any more. It’s too dangerous,” he said.
China gets a lot of latitude.

CHANGE: Glenn Beck: If Republicans don’t win this election we may be at the end of the country as we know it. Remember, he was a hardcore anti-Trumper in 2016. But he’s changed his views based on circumstances, which is more than you can say for a lot of people who were hardcore anti-Trumpers in 2016. “In fairness to Beck, Democrats are doing everything possible to validate his concern.”
I’M BEGINNING TO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ROBERT O’ROURKE FELLOW:
● Peak 2020: Beto Once Presented a “Verdant Turd” to His Wife as an Avocado.
● Beto O’Rourke ate dirt after losing to Ted Cruz.
● Baristas to Beto: Get off the countertops.
I’m hope you’re sitting down for this last item:
● O’Rourke rocked by major scandal: He once supported basic fiscal responsibility.
If 2016 was any indication, that’s the one that will doom O’Rourke among Democrat voters.
