THE CORBYNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONTINUES APACE: Rashida Tlaib says thinking of the Holocaust provides her a ‘calming feeling,’ shockingly claims Palestinians created ‘safe haven’ for Jews.

RIP: PEGGY LIPTON, STAR OF ‘MOD SQUAD’ AND ‘TWIN PEAKS,’ HAS DIED AT 72. “The news was confirmed by her two daughters Kidada and Rashida Jones (star of TV’s ‘The Office’ and ‘Parks and Recreation’), from Lipton’s 15-year marriage to music producer Quincy Jones.”

2020 PREDICTION: “Hillary. It’s her turn.” “She’s there in reserve. It’s a joke until it happens. DJT was a joke until it happened. The funniest thing may be the most likely thing. All the other candidates are bad. I’m not sure the extent to which I was joking. You can’t tell the difference between jokes and what’s real in America anymore.”

RISE OF THE ACADEMIC TOTALITARIANS.

UPDATE: From the comments: “Fair is fair, now we get to blacklist the,lawyers that defend Comey, Strzok, and Hillary.” Under this logic, the National Lawyers’ Guild should have had its entire membership disbarred back in the 1950s. But the right doesn’t have the killer instinct that the left does.

LIBERAL FASCISM: San Francisco police raid home of journalist to find who leaked Adachi report.

Two weeks prior, Carmody said that he was interviewed by police officers about where he obtained his information, but refused to disclose his source. Today, Carmody said that police and FBI agents executed a search warrant on his Richmond District home and Western Addition office.

They confiscated his cell phones, computers and a copy of the police report from within his office safe.

“They have completely shut down my business,” said Carmody, who has operated as an independent stringer for Bay Area and national television stations, including Fox News, CNBC and CBS Evening news.

Carmody accused police of “intimidation” to “make me break my [journalistic] ethics.”

“I’m refusing to give up my source,” he said.

On the one hand, there’s no legal First Amendment right to refuse a subpoena to name a source. On the other, if Bill Barr were sending FBI agents to raid journalists’ homes in search of leakers, we’d be told that the Fourth Reich had descended on America. (Updated because there are statutory protections in California.)

REDEFINING SUCCESS IN CHICAGO: Outgoing mayor Rahm Emanuel presents his city as a leader in police reform and crime reduction by comparing it with . . . Baltimore.

The mayor also makes his case by comparing Chicago’s crime numbers over the last two years with those of . . .  Baltimore. Not New York. Not Los Angeles. But Baltimore—one of America’s most dangerous, crime-ridden cities. It’s no accident that Emanuel chose this comparison, instead of putting Chicago up against New York and Los Angeles—the Windy City had more murders than New York and L.A. combined last year, though it is the smallest of the three cities.

Beating out Baltimore in crime reduction is not exactly a coup. And make no mistake: while Chicago benefits from a densely populated North Side with low crime numbers, areas on the city’s South and West Sides don’t look so different from Baltimore when it comes to aggregate population and crime numbers. The neighborhoods in which Chicago’s serious violent crime is concentrated are among the worst in the nation.

This is akin to John Lindsay telling voters in 1969 that sure, New York is bad, but hey, it could always be Newark, you know.

GET OUT: American universities have become whirlpools of downward mobility that target the people and the ideas that they once cherished and protected. It’s time for Jews to stop paying for them.
