IT’S NOT SO MUCH FAKE, AS IT’S LIKE PRAVDA. THERE IS NO SCIENCE IN IT, JUST LIKE THERE’S NO TRUTH IN PRAVDA:  The Fake Science of Global Warming.

OPEN THREAD: So let’s go.

FEDERAL SCHOOL DISCIPLINE POLICY:  The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights will release a perfectly terrible report on school discipline at the intersection of race and disability in the morning.

If you have an interest in the issue and would like to call in to hear the Chair Catherine Lhamon discuss the report, there will be an opportunity to do so at 10:45 am Eastern time tomorrow morning.  Details here.  I will not be on the call.  I was not invited.  But my dissent should be available on Instapundit a little before then.

SELF-DESTRUCTION, PART DEUX: “‘My job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt,’ [Sally Boynton Brown, the executive director of Idaho’s Democratic Party] said.”

To paraphrase The Good Professor, in order to win, the Democrats simply have to not be crazy. They’re failing at not being crazy.

KURT SCHLICHTER: The Democrats’ 2020 Campaign Theme Is ‘You Americans Are Terrible.’

The Democrats’ 2020 theme is that you are terrible and the party’s slogan will be “Americans suck, vote for us.” The precise candidate who will employ it is not important because they all embrace the notion that punishing the essential moral failure of you and me and every other Normal American is the key goal of the Donkey Party. That goes equally for the Handsey Old Prospector, the Socialist Squaw, Crusty the Commie, Spartacus Sharpton, Starchild, the Furry, Not Ms. Willie Brown, the Unfabulous Gay Guy, and the many Unfabulous Ungay Guys.

They all agree that you are terrible because you don’t know your place, which is behind a rock pushing it endlessly uphill for the benefit of people who hate you.

Remember Animal Farm from back when you were in school and they taught it as a chilling warning about socialism instead of as a how-to manual? Remember the horse who got worked nearly to death then got sent to the glue farm?

Guess what? You’re the horse.

Yeah, pretty much. Plus: “Besides being the engine that powers the establishment, you also fulfill another important function. You’re the liberal elite’s punching bag, the scapegoat, the convenient excuse for every flaw, failing and foul-up in the society that very same elite runs. You don’t get the credit you’re due; instead you get scorn, because that scorn both gins up the elite’s dopey allies and acts to keep you in line. It’s a stick to beat you and a chain to bind you. Except people are getting sick of being beaten and bound. Unless you are a Never Trumper, in which case you’re probably into that scene.”
