HECK, SHE’S BRINGING IN AN EXCAVATOR:  Ilhan Omar Keeps Digging Hole on 9/11 Remark.

Ilhan Omar, or THE reason we need to reexamine our immigration and citizenship program. We already have enough home grown haters of all American stands for. Why import fresh ones?

LOOK, TRUMP IS DOING THE MEDIA A FAVOR. HE RAISES THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE, WHICH CAUSES THE SAME EFFECT AS SUSTAINED EXERCISE.  PRACTICALLY THERAPEUTIC. … FOR THE REST OF US THERE IS SCHADENFREUDE. (THE FACT HE’S CALLING ATTENTION TO THE UTTERLY REPULSIVE DEATH CULT THE LEFT HAS BECOME IS JUST AN ADDITIONAL BIT OF GOOD.)

WELL, CERTAINLY THOSE OF US WHO DISAPPROVE OF SANCTUARY CITIES WHILE LIVING IN THEM DON’T WANT THIS. BUT WE’RE A LITTLE SHOCKED AT OUR NEIGHBORS.  BOY, DOES TRUMP HAVE YOUR NUMBER, GUYS. NO WONDER YOU HATE HIM SO MUCH:  NIMBY! Sanctuary Cities Don’t Want Illegal Immigrants.

AND YET REALITY STILL WON’T GO AWAY:  The End of women’s sports if the Dems get their way.

HINDSIGHT IS 2020: “I see many Bernie T-shirts with the slogan ‘Hindsight is 2020.’ The idea I’m seeing expressed is that Democrats may have thought they were being safe and sensible by picking Hillary Clinton in 2016, but you see what happened, and in retrospect, it’s obvious that it would have been better to have picked the person who got people energized and came across as genuine and decent.”

The problem is, if you crossed Hillary you were likely to get a 30-30.

SCOTT JOHNSON: “The prosecution in the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor continued yesterday with the cross-examination of officer Jesse Lopez as well as the testimony of officer Joseph Grout, Lieutenant Dan May, and Sergeant Robert Lewis, all of the Minneapolis police department.” “According to the defense, Justine banged on the officers’ squad car before Noor shot her. The prosecution suggests that the ‘bang’ or ‘slap’ was more or less invented by Sergeant Shannon Barnette, the senior officer first on the scene and therefore the critical incident officer managing it. Lofton asked whether ambushers usually warned the officer with a slap to their squad car. May hesitated before answering in the negative.”

CHANGE: Fifty-two local Democrats, including county commissioner, leave the party in three days.

Bullard confirmed that his switch was from Democrat to Republican, making him the second Republican commissioner on the seven-member board. Commissioner Edwin Russ changed his registration from Democrat to Republican on Dec. 10.

“It’s getting to where the Democratic Party is not like it used to be,” Bullard said Thursday to explain his switch. “It’s full of Muslims and full of people who believe in aborting babies up to the ninth month of pregnancy and even my pastor has been encouraging me to change my affiliation because of some of the Democratic Party beliefs. It was something I had planned on doing for a while. I hadn’t gone ahead and done it but, when the Jody Greene issue came up, I figured the time to do it is now.” . . .

“It’s a combination of what’s going on in Washington and what’s going on with the county with the sheriff’s race. People are just getting tired of it. It’s a lot of things and I think the sheriff’s race was just the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Hinson said. “I think a lot of people realize the Democratic Party is not the party it used to be and it doesn’t look like they will ever go back.”

Saturday’s courthouse rally will include speeches from Hinson and Greene, and Hinson said any elected officials who attend will be invited to speak. He estimated the event could last as long as three hours.

Maybe making Ilhan Omar and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Pelosi the face of the party was a bad idea.

UPDATE: Now it’s over 70 Democrats who’ve switched.

NAOMI WOLF: IN CASE YOU FORGOT, HERE’S SOME CLUELESS VIRTUE-SIGNALLING TO REMIND YOU THAT I’M STUPID. “Naomi Wolf has now deleted the tweet that used to display along with Young’s ridicule of it. Wolf had shown the picture of the young woman whose work led to what is presented as a picture of a black hole along with comments that included ‘That’s so cool’ and something like ‘She’s so cute.’ Wolf asserted that the ‘That’s so cool’ comments were from women and show how women react and ‘She’s so cute’ came from a man and that’s a problem. It turns out the ‘She’s so cute’ commenter, with the first name Shaun, actually was a woman, the Wolf premise of Wolf’s expansive generalization was embarrassingly wrong.”
