HARSH, BUT FAIR:

JEREMY CLARKSON: The world may be getting hotter, Greta Thunberg… but having a meltdown isn’t going to help.

I’m sorry Ms Thunberg, but if you’re going to lay into my generation, you must accept it when I lay into you and yours.

What about the pills you take when you have a headache?

What about the clean water that comes out of your tap? What about the food you can buy at any time of the day and night?

No 16-year-old was responsible for any of that.

What about the aid missions currently being run in some of the poorest countries of the world, or the drugs that help keep Aids at bay?

Think about all the movies you’ve enjoyed. Movies made by grown-ups. And all those comedians who’ve made you laugh.

And then pause for a moment to consider how soundly you sleep at night, knowing that adults are building and servicing and flying Sweden’s fighter planes. To keep you safe.

We gave you mobile phones and laptops and the internet. We created the social media you use every day and we run the banks that pay for it all.

So how dare you stand there and lecture us, you spoilt brat.

Read the whole thing.

HARSH, BUT FAIR.

I'm not sure I would call anything in this video "high quality"https://t.co/XwqwO0IhUL

ROGER KIMBALL: The Little Engine That Couldn’t. The Democrats think the very fact that a president is impeached is enough tarnish his reputation and diminish his chances of success in the election. Don’t bet on it.

CHANGE: Political Realignment Is Coming To America: The next time hatred comes your way, don’t recriminate — recruit!

WELL, THAT’S GOOD. HOLDING MY MIDDLE FINGERS ALOFT AT THEM IS STILL NOT RACIST. RUDE — BUT THEY DESERVE RUDENESS — BUT NOT RACIST:  The Bee Explains: Common Racist Hand Signals.

WELL… THAT SEEMS… AWKWARD:  Well-hung Brit claims his bulge was mistaken for shoplifted goods.

A HEALTHY ECONOMY IS UNEQUAL. EQUALITY IS A SIGN OF AN ECONOMY BEING TAMPERED WITH.  EXCEPT FOR THE VERY TOP SOCIALIST ECONOMIES ARE VERY EQUAL. AND POOR:  Census: US inequality grew, including in heartland states.

FOR DEMOCRATS SEGREGATION IS ALWAYS LURKING JUST AROUND THE CORNER… WHICH IS FUNNY, CONSIDERING IT’S LIBERAL INSTITUTIONS CREATING SEPARATE GRADUATION CEREMONIES FOR ETHNIC STUDENTS.  NEVER MIND. MORE PROJECTION THAN AN IMAX:  Plan for Little Rock schools stokes fears about segregation.

SERIOUSLY? THIS IS NEWS?  The Pill ‘dictates who you fall in love with’ – and lowers your sex drive.

LOOKS LIKE WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE, UNTIL MY SON DIAGNOSED ME AS HAVING “POLITICS FEVER, AGAIN” AND TOLD ME TO GO WRITE:  On Ukraine, Trump, and Thunberg — the view from the Left.

FAST OR SLOW, NO ONE IS BEING EXTERMINATED IN DETENTION CENTERS AT THE BORDER. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THESE ARE NOT CITIZENS BEING ROUNDED UP, THEY’RE PEOPLE TRYING TO BREAK INTO THE COUNTRY (AKA INVADE) BEING KEPT OUT, TEMPORARILY IN MOST CASES (UNFORTUNATELY):  The “Slow Build” Myth.  Frankly to compare border detention centers to concentration camps is not just ridiculous, it is appalling. It trivializes the bizarre and inhuman evil of exterminating human beings “by the numbers” by comparing it to “country secures borders” as every country in history has.

YES. IN DEMOCRAT LAND THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE KEPT IN BATHROOMS IN THE OFFICIALS UNSECURED ABODE: Secure Servers? Coverup!

HAPPY 118TH BIRTHDAY TO PHYSICIST ENRICO FERMI:  In 1942, he conducted the first human-made, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction at Stagg Field on the campus of the University of Chicago.  It was the Manhattan Project’s first major step toward creating the atomic bomb.

You might want to ask why they did this in the middle of the country’s second largest city.  Why not a lonely desert somewhere?  The answer is that those in charge trusted Fermi’s calculations, which indicated that it would be safe.  I’m … uh … glad he was right.

I THINK THEY LEARNED NOTHING. HONESTLY, I THINK THEY’RE LOCKED IN A YEARS LONG HYSTERICAL FIT THAT KEEPS GETTING WORSE:  What The Left Has Learned From The Christine Blasey Ford Debacle.

IF JOE BIDEN WERE POOR, HE WOULDN’T HAVE ENRICHED HIMSELF BY SAHDY MEANS. WHICH WE KNOW HE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE:  Heartless People Are Attacking “Poor Joe Biden”.  Ie. The problem is precisely that none of these democrats are poor after a few years in office.

WELL, WHAT DID YOU THINK POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS?  Bill De Blasio Tromps On First Amendment To Protect Illegal Aliens From Bad Words.

BUT THAT WOULD BE AN OUTRAGE, BECAUSE SHUT UP: Ukraine must investigate Joe Biden’s son, says ex-Ukrainian PM.

HE’S EASILY BOUGHT? Why China thinks it’s got a future President Biden in its pocket.

“You ruined my childhood.”

OPEN THREAD: Enjoy!

CARRYING THE Ruger LCPII. I have an LCP, which fits nicely in a pocket with a Sticky Holster, and it’s a nice little gun, and surprisingly accurate. Not a lot of fun to shoot, but it’s a carry gun, not a recreational gun. The newer model sounds like it’s been improved.

‘HUMORISTS HAVE BEEN SCARED OUT OF THE BUSINESS:’

I received a note from my old friend Larry Shackley, a longtime NR reader and a great admirer of P. G. Wodehouse. In fact, Larry is reading through the complete Wodehouse — complete — right now. He came across this statement from the writer in 1956. It sounds awfully present-day, doesn’t it?

“Humorists have been scared out of the business by the touchiness now prevailing in every section of the community. Wherever you look, on every shoulder there is a chip, in every eye a cold glitter warning you, if you know what is good for you, not to start anything.”

Within a decade of that statement, the satire boom was on among leftist British comedians to attack the establishment, culminating in the classic episodes of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Perhaps the 21st century left’s humorlesslessness will expire along a similar timetable.

MORE VIDEO OF JUSTIN TRUDEAU AND THIS IS THE WORST YET: “He’s wearing an afro and appears to, again, have dyed multiple parts of his body, from his legs and arms to his tongue. He also ripped up his jeans and appears to have enhanced his crotch area.”
