ONE LAW FOR THE LORDS AND ONE FOR THE PEASANTS. ALL FUN AND GAMES, TILL THE TUMBRILS ROLL: Judge Amy Brennan Jackson plans to go full steam ahead with sentencing Stone.
FIRST, DEVOTE FIFTY YEARS TO CREATING A CLIMATE WHERE DISSENTING FROM LEFTIST ORTHODOXY CAN GET YOU FIRED, SLANDERED AND DESTROYED. NEXT, ACT SURPRISED, HURT AND UPSET THAT PEOPLE LIE TO YOU: NeverTrumper Bret Stephens: FEAR the Secret Trump Voters.
Why, those perfidious right wingers! Refusing to let the left properly calibrate their vote fraud! Deplorable.
IN REFERENCE TO THE LAST ITEM, TAKE THIS ONE, PLEASE: Classics faculty proposes removal of Homer and Virgil from Mods Syllabus.
…. till the gods of the copybook headings limp up to explain it once more….
IF IT WERE ON ONLY THIS ISSUE! BUT EVERYWHERE WE TURN, IT’S BEING DEMANDED WE BELIEVE WHAT WE’RE TOLD INSTEAD OF OUR LYING EYES. HEINLEIN WAS WRONG. THESE AREN’T THE CRAZY YEARS. THESE ARE THE RUNNING AROUND WITH UNDERWEAR ON THEIR HEADS, DOING THEIR BEST IMITATION OF JOE BIDEN YEARS: Going Off the Rails.
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, reality is that which doesn’t go way just because you wish it would. And in the end, the gods of the copybook headings with terror and slaughter return. Again.
THAT ASSUMES SHE EVER HAD IT: She’s Completely Lost It: Now Pelosi Is Claiming ‘There Was No Acquittal’.
ALL OF THAT, BUT ALSO LIBERAL PRIVILEGE THAT CONFERS THE ABILITY TO BE ABOVE THE LAW. AS WE’RE BEING REMINDED, ALMOST FIVE YEARS LATER: Incompetence or Indifference? The Continuing Story of the Clinton Emails.

ANN ALTHOUSE ON MIKE BLOOMBERG, THE DEMOCRATS, AND THE MEDIA. “The DNC changed the qualification rules to help Bloomberg. They got rid of the requirement of a number of donors. But he needs some number of polls putting him over 10%, and the latest info I can find, here, says he’s still one short. It’s funny, because I was just checking for new polls at Real Clear Politics, and there hasn’t been anything new since last Friday and no new national poll since last Wednesday. The most recent national poll surveyed people from 2/9 to 2/11. That seems odd, doesn’t it? Are polls being held back? I remember before the Iowa caucus, the Des Moines Register held back its poll.”

HOW CAN THEY BE GOING BROKE? THEY’VE GOTTEN SO WOKE IN RECENT YEARS. Boy Scouts Face Bankruptcy After Wave Of Sexual Assault Lawsuits.
MISTER, WE COULD USE A MAN LIKE PAUL HARVEY AGAIN: “And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a tiny, soulless technocrat to tell everyone else how to live their lives.’ So God made a Bloomberg.”
Needless to say, read the whole thing.

“Chicago has a notorious reputation when it comes to crime, but it’s actually not as bad as some smaller cities on this list like New Orleans, Newark, and Detroit. Chicago is the third largest city in the country and while it does have a higher murder rate than the two larger cities, Los Angeles and New York City, it’s still not the most dangerous city in the country. The latest data from 2017 shows that the murder rate in Chicago was 24 per 100,000 residents.”
New York’s rate was 7 murders per 100,000 residents.
But the murders and the crime in Chicago are mainly confined to the poor black sections of the town. It is mainly black-on-black crime. Police solve only 1 in 6 murders. No one protests. It’s not murder; it’s gun violence. The New York Times said so.
Chicago is the Democrat Model For Cities where the rich get The Magnificent Mile — North Michigan Avenue — with its shops, hotels, restaurants, and museums, and the poor get the slums, and the middle class get to leave.
Chicago’s last Republican mayor left office in 1931.
