Conservative Columnist: ‘I would take Obama back in a nanosecond’

21st July 2018

Read it.

The columnist in question is Max Boot, who is a ‘conservative’ only in relation to the rest of the proglodytes at the Washington Post. Like George Will, he is an Establishment Crustian and his ‘conservatism’ is only about as deep as Michelle Obama’s love of America.

CNN’s David Gregory Says Trump Is ‘Naive’ And ‘Arrogant’ To Think He Can Negotiate With Putin  Yeah, David Gregory is sure the guy I go to when I want to know about negotiating with Putin. I suggest that Gregory is naive and arrogant to think that Trump is going to take what he says seriously.

It’s no longer safe to leave Trump alone in the negotiating room with Putin, but there’s little we can do to stop it  Yeah, newspaper editors know more about negotiating with Putin than Trump. Sure, I believe that.

Number Of Americans Who Believe Russia Is Biggest Threat ‘Too Small To Represent With A Number’  And all fo them are ‘journalists’.

Evan McMullin: It’s ‘Extremely Dangerous’ That Many Americans Support Trump On Russia  I’m sorry, every time I see Evan McMullin I think ‘Egg McMuffin’ and the linkage with ‘cheap and nasty’ is automatic and unconscious.

Boston University’s Fake-O-Nomics Darling

18th July 2018

Michelle Malkin points out the obvious.

costs a pretty penny to earn a diploma in stupid.

The annual list price to attend Boston University — including tuition, fees, room and board — currently rounds out to $70,000. To acquire a degree in economics from this tony institution of higher learning, an undergrad must complete courses in calculus, microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis, empirical economics, statistics and assorted electives.

Four years, 52 credits and nearly $300,000 later, the school promises that BU economics majors will depart “with a firm understanding of core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory” and the “empirical skills that are essential to applying economic reasoning in our increasingly data-driven world.”

How, then, to explain the abject economic illiteracy of meteoric media darling and democratic socialist “political rock star” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? The 28-year-old BU alumna graduated with an economics and international relations degree in 2011.

Jay Nordlinger: ‘I Like Him, I Like Him.’ I Don’t.

12th July 2018

Read it.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the National Review crowd, but this is just too stupid for words.

Just because Trump says X doesn’t mean that X is true. Nordlinger and the other pearl-clutchers of the Establishment Right have this serious psychological defect that, coming from the right-wing think-tank/opinionator realm, they say what they mean and mean what they say; as a result, they think that anybody who isn’t a Lying Democrat (of which there be many) does (or at least ought to do) the same thing. That’s not Trump. For Trump, what he says is a tool, and any correspondence between what he says, and what actually is, may or may not exist. What Trump says is what he wants you to hear, and that’s all. If you take it for more than that, then you’re a fool and he will play you like Eric Clapton with a guitar.

Trump knows more about what’s going on than you or I or even (gasp) Jay Nordlinger. He has all of the intelligence apparatus of the President of the United States at his disposal. If he does something, there’s a reason for it, and that reason is likely to be far from obvious — so to look at the obvious and recoil is on a par with a cow changing direction because a cowboy is flapping a blanket at it. Nordlinger has locked down his membership in the herd, and I find it very distasteful that supposedly intelligent people are so easily duped.

Jay Nordlinger doesn’t want a real President; he wants somebody Righteous. Ronald Reagan was Righteous. George W. Bush was Righteous. Mitt Romney was Righteous. Nordlinger suffers from the same disease as every SJW in the DemLegHump Media: They want a President who will Signal Virtue with every word he speaks and every act he takes (which is why they loved Obama so much). This is why the National Review crowd would rather have a Republican Presidential candidate who is Righteous but loses over one who isn’t and can win.

Trump isn’t Righteous. He has seen Righteous in the business world and has correctly deduced that it is a Loser. Trump is Cunning. As a result, he wins far more often than not. As President, the American people have benefited from the winning along with Trump. That’s why Trump has gotten More Stuff Done from a ‘conservative’ standpoint in two years than Reagan managed to get done in four, and is likely to continue winning.

When it comes to winning, I’ll pick Cunning over Righteous every time. People like Jay Norlinger need to go back to sucking their thumbs and leave governing to those who understand the process and can get the job done.

Schadenfreude, Kavanaugh Edition

11th July 2018

John Hinderaker at Powerline follows the meltdown.

No more affordable health care, by decree of the Supreme Court! Unions are banned! All civil rights are abolished! As we have said many times, the leaders of the Democratic Party believe that the party’s members are stupid. I am afraid they may be right.

I Visited Whataburger, a Texas Chain With a Cult Following, for the First Time. Here’s What It’s Like.

11th July 2018

Read it.

The requirements of modern journalism are such that if you are writing anything about a state that is not one of the Deep Blue Coast states, you must take the approach of someone from civilization boating down the Zambezi river, observing the natives in their colorful native costumes doing colorful native things. Isn’t that amazing!

And, with respect to Texas, if you can sneak ‘cult’ into the headline somewhere, so much the better.

Against XX [Updated]

10th July 2018

Scott Johnson at Powerline watches the circus pass by.

If you sense a synthetic quality to the outrage greeting the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court by President Trump, you aren’t mistaken. The Women’s March had its statement decrying the apocalypse to be wrought by the nominee before he (or she) was named yesterday. Once the announcement was made, the blank name was to be filled in by the Women’s March functionary. In the event, the functionary did a poor job of executing the task, first forgetting to fill in the blank and then misspelling the nominee’s name.

Environmentally Minded Californians Love to Recycle — But It’s No Longer Doing Any Good

10th July 2018

Read it.

The whole point of recycling is to make people feel good about themselves. The fact that nobody actually recycles anything, or that ‘recycled’ materials aren’t re-used, is beside the point.

Cornel West Tries to Explain Democratic Socialism to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson

9th July 2018

Read it. And watch the video if you want the raw stuff.

This piece in Salon, of course, is apologetic in nature and attempts to turn West’s vacuous platitudes into something resembling actual arguments — unsuccessfully, since you can’t make bricks with just cotton wool.

West’s tap-dancing is just a variant of the myriad of folks who explain the fact that socialism has failed every time it’s been tried with the bromide ‘real socialism has never actually been tried’. They feel justified in saying this because they believe, deep down in whatever they use for souls, that (per Marx) there is an inevitable tendency in history toward socialism that will sooner or later result in successful socialism (this is what they mean by being ‘on the right side of history’). So, whenever socialism fails, it’s because it hasn’t really happened yet.

One of the things I find most interesting about this attitude is that Nazis (if you can find one) never say ‘real national socialism has never actually been tried’, nor do fascists (if you can find one that isn’t masquerading as a socialist) say that ‘real fascism has never actually been tried’. Socialists are the only brand of statist that actually stand there bare-faced and say ‘Who are you going to believe, Marx or your lying eyes?’.
