DANI SHUGART ON THE PROBLEM WITH “BODY POSITIVITY:”

What’s interesting is that we’re told (women mostly) that we must constantly praise ourselves, incessantly talk about how much we love our bodies, and relentlessly wallow in touchy feely self-affirmations – even when we’re not doing anything worthy of all that.

And I know that’s the trend right now, but if I actually felt the way that I’m told to as a woman, I’d probably never go to the gym or do anything related to self development. The incentive would be gone because “I’m already amazing just the way I am without any effort,” right?

Nope, sorry. Barf.

Agreed.

YOUTUBER OUTWITS COMEDY CENTRAL, EXPOSES LEFTIST HOST AS MASSIVE HYPOCRITE IN INTERVIEW:

Posting a video to YouTube, [Avi] Yemini reveals that he set his phone down secretly and began recording the interview, knowing that he would be made out to look like a horrible person.

What he also caught on footage, however, was [Jim] Jefferies doing and saying things that degraded Islam that the left would be horrified by, especially in the wake of the Christchurch shooting.

Jefferies draws the prophet, Muhammad, before calling Islam dangerous. He also said wearing a burka is stupid, and compared Islam to a dingo. Then proceeded to say that if a dingo ate a Muslim baby it would likely vomit it up.

Jefferies wasn’t worried about saying any of these things, as he openly admitted that he never looks bad in his interviews.

In September of 2008, after Charlie Gibson of ABC’s deceptively edited his interview with Sarah Palin, Glenn warned “Bring Your Own Camera.” Over the years, Comedy Central’s Daily Show slanted interviews with numerous conservatives so badly that in 2016, Megan McArdle, now with the Washington Post, was succinct: “Don’t Ever Appear on ‘The Daily Show.’”

Not without your own recording to allow others to see how the ransom notes are cut together, that is.

JUST TO GET AHEAD OF THE STORY, I WAS NEVER THERE AND ESKIMOS ARE NOTORIOUSLY UNRELIABLE EYEWITNESSES: Special counsel Robert Mueller’s highly anticipated report handed off to Department of Justice.

UPDATE: Just got this from the DOJ Press Office:

ANOTHER UPDATE: I don’t know why the ABC link above is returning a 404. It worked when I posted this. But this appears to be an updated version. “Special counsel Robert Mueller’s much-anticipated report – the product of nearly two years of investigation – will not include any further indictments, according to a senior Department of Justice official.”

FAILED MAGAZINE EDITOR BILL KRISTOL TRIED TO STIR UP SOME ATTENTION BY CALLING KURT SCHLICHTER A RACIST. It did not go well.

But you can decide for yourself. Check out Kurt’s books, People’s Republic, Indian Country, and Wildfire. Form your own opinion, without further guidance from the Lido Deck. (Bumped).

NEW SOCIALIST “IT GIRL” CONTINUES TO PAY DIVIDENDS: Yikes! Time Mag Correspondent Dialed The AOC Cheerleading Up a Notch On MSNBC (Video):

“She’s really bringing us into the politics of the 21st century.” By going back to 1906 for William James’ “Moral Equivalent of War” sophistry, 1933 for FDR’s New Deal, 1970 for “we’re all gonna die!!!” eco-doomsday hectoring and reruns of decade-old Time magazine covers built on those same concepts?

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Judge throws out Deerfield’s assault weapons ban. “Judge Luis Berrones issued a permanent injunction blocking the village from enforcing its ordinance. In the ruling, Berrones wrote that the plaintiff gun owners have ‘a clearly ascertainable right to not be subjected to a preempted and unenforceable ordinance’ that prohibits possession of assault weapons, imposes financial penalties for keeping them and allows their property to be confiscated.”
