Trump critics have taken a page from the Climatistas. They wring their hands over the bad consequences in store for Trump IF the things they assume are crimes actually are crimes, but really aren’t.

Just as the climatistas are basing their OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE predictions on something happening that they never show actually happened (well, we PREDICT that it will happen, and that ought to be good enough for you Dirt People), so the Trumpernickles predict vast criminal penalties for actions that, when Real Lawyers look at them, aren’t crimes at all.

The sky is falling, women and minorities hardest hit, film at eleven, etc. etc. It makes you wonder how these people manage to make it to work in the morning without being carried off by the Vikings that aren’t there.

The New York Times, undeterred by its failure to find any nuggets by digging through Ashley Kavanaugh’s emails as town manager of Chevy Chase, Maryland–“the records were … mundane dispatches about town business, from snow removals to local newsletters”–has now served a request for the records of any 911 calls made from Judge Kavanaugh’s home for the last 12 years.

The New York Times requests digital copies of all policing pertaining to Brett Kavanaugh, a resident of Chevy Chase Section 5. Specifically, we request all policing records, including police reports or calls of service (911 calls or otherwise), pertaining to Brett Kavanaugh, his wife, and their home address.

Somehow, I’m guessing there aren’t any. But when it comes to a Supreme Court nominee, the Times “had to try.” Of course. You remember how hard they tried to dig up dirt on Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, don’t you? Don’t you?

The Other McCain peeks behind the curtain.

Julia Salazar is not Jewish. Nor is she a working-class immigrant. Her mother is an Italian Catholic from New Jersey and her father, a native of Colombia, is a commercial pilot who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1982. Julia grew up in a middle-class home in Florida and graduated from Columbia University, an elite Ivy League school where the annual cost of attendance is $80,826 including room and board.

All of this information, available from public records, was discovered by Tablet magazine for a fascinating story about how Julia Salazar invented a fictional identity as a working-class Jewish immigrant in order to run for a state senate seat in New York, as a progressive Democrat.

It’s amazing how many Fashionable Minority Victims went to Ivy League (or equivalent) schools. This chick went to Columbia; Alexandria Occasional-Cortex went to Harvard Law.

The Guardian over in the UK apparently has a unique feature.

The Week in Patriarchy is a weekly roundup of what’s happening in the world of feminism and sexism.

This particular instance is entitled Men’s fixation on young women is another sign of masculinity in crisis.

This is of course nonsense; men have been ‘fixated on young women’ for at least 5,000 years; something that’s lasted that long is, from an evolutionary point of view, certainly a feature rather than a bug, and thus far from being ‘in crisis’.

What’s actually ‘in crisis’ is the modern hipster female predilection for finding some aspect of men that they dislike and proclaiming it somehow a defect in men that men are somehow responsible for fixing.

Masculinity is certainly in crisis — but the crisis is caused by the disturbing number of women attempting to eradicate it, and by the even more disturbing number of men who are sufficiently confused as to jump on board that effort.

Such men are doomed never to reproduce.

Of course, that’s not what Trump said. Democrats spend most of their time beating up on straw-men because they have nothing else to live for.

Still, even though that’s not what Trump said, there are still a lot of people who believe it, and it’s going to take more than a resolution by a slime-meister like Chuck-You Schumer to convince them otherwise.

The Other McCain reads this stuff so that you don’t have to.

Obviously her father wasn’t a valuable parent.

A feminist professor at California State University-Fresno recently published an article lamenting that federal programs to promote “responsible fatherhood” among vulnerable men in fact perpetuate “patriarchy,” “gender norms,” and “hegemonic masculinity.”

Sounds good to me.

Professor Randles teaches sociology, reminding me of Thomas Sowell’s quote: “The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.”

Very few, I’m thinking. (They’re probably busy out spreading Hegemonic Masculinity. That’s hard work.)

Read it.

Except that THERE ARE NO RISING SEA LEVELS.

Paul Mierngoff at Powerline blows the whistle.

When candidate Donald Trump rolled out his “Make America Great Again” slogan, Hillary Clinton chided him for taking the position that America isn’t great now. But today, New York governor Andrew Cuomo attacked the slogan from the opposite perspective. He said: “We’re not going to make America great again; it was never that great.” He added that America “will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51 percent of our population, is gone, and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed and every woman is making her full contribution.”

The difference between these two takes may simply reflect the fact that Cuomo is more honest than Hillary. I’m not convinced she thinks America is great or ever was. I don’t think Barack Obama does.

However, this much is true: There was a time not very long ago when no mainstream Democrat would publicly deny that America has been great. I’m pretty sure that Andrew Cuomo’s father, Mario Cuomo, never denied it and would have appalled to hear any Democrat, and certainly his son, make such a declaration.

David French serves us a slice of cuck for his Crustian masters.

It’s easy to laugh at this weekend’s Unite the Right rally. It was pathetic. Media outnumbered white supremacists, and counterprotesters outnumbered the media. If that’s the alt-right in 2018, then public white supremacy in the United States is reverting back to its pre-2015 norm — when you could always find a couple dozen neo-Nazis to march somewhere, but you’d rarely see the kind of numbers we watched in Charlottesville. But as the alt-right fades (for now), let’s not forget its legacy. And let’s not turn our heads from its malignant influence. Consider what happened between 2015 and yesterday’s pitiful march.

Surely that straw-man is dead by now.

I’d be more impressed if I were confident that (a) French knows what ‘alt-right’ means, (b) could possibly understand what the alt-right was working toward, or (c) could express an original thought without reading it off of some Smugmobile bumper sticker.
