Look, a ‘hunger strike’ works only if whoever you’re ‘striking’ against can’t afford to let you die.
If that doesn’t apply, a ‘hunger strike’ is only a slow form of suicide.
I suspect that, unlike Obama, Trump really doesn’t give a shit if some jihadist at Gitmo starves himself to death. And I don’t see the people who have been calling him a Nazi and The New Hitler having a lot of influence over him with respect to changing that policy.
So all of the handwringing that will inevitably occur in the DemLegHump Media is just hot air. It worked with previous Establishment politicians, but it won’t work with Trump. This is just another case of the old Crustian playbook not working with someone who is not of the Crust. When will they learn? I suspect never.

Over the weekend, liberal online magazine Salon put out a highly mockable list of their top “25 Conservatives Actually Worth Following on Twitter.” The story made a splash on social media, because it seemed Salon’s only criteria for being a “worthy conservative” is that you had to be an outspoken “Never-Trumper” and a fierce critic of the right. Brownie points if you support Obamacare and spew profanities at the president.
What didn’t count? Actually being a smart, thoughtful commentator on conservative ideas and a warrior against the liberal media.
Salon’s list is so out-of-touch from what a conservative is, that they even include virulently anti-conservative commentators like CNN’s Ana Navarro and the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin.
Well, to Salon, they probably look conservative.

Hillary Calls Trump An ‘Admitted Sexual Assaulter’ Which he isn’t, of course. She is deliberately (or stupidly) mischaracterizing what he said to Billy Bush, which was a complaint about the behavior of women with powerful men, not a description (much less an admission) of his own behavior. But everyone on the Left has made the same distortion.

This article examines the symbolic whiteness associated with pumpkins in the contemporary United States. Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte, a widely circulated essay in McSweeney’s on “Decorative Gourd Season,” pumpkins in aspirational lifestyle magazines, and the reality television show Punkin Chunkin provide entry points into whiteness–pumpkin connections. Such analysis illuminates how class, gender, place, and especially race are employed in popular media and marketing of food and flavor; it suggests complicated interplay among food, leisure, labor, nostalgia, and race. Pumpkins in popular culture also reveal contemporary racial and class coding of rural versus urban places. Accumulation of critical, relational, and contextual analyses, including things seemingly as innocuous as pumpkins, points the way to a food studies of humanities and geography. When considered vis-à-vis violence and activism that incorporated pumpkins, these analyses point toward the perils of equating pumpkins and whiteness.
I defy you to read this without laughing.

‘Mr. Robot’ Returns Warning of ‘Dark Future’ of Trump, Capitalism
Why are we still shocked that men in power abuse women when Donald Trump is the President? Presumably the theory is that since Donald Trump abuses women what do you expect? Except, of course, there is absolutely no evidence that Donald Trump abuses women, much less that he was as bad as Harvey Weinstein. This is just another ‘Trump is a poppyhead’ screed pretending to be journalism.

President Trump’s new CEA chair, Kevin Hassett, walked into the lion’s den last week with his first official speech. He used the moment to pound the leftist Tax Policy Center (TPC). It was a wonderful sight.
When Hassett wasn’t pounding the TPC, he was spanking them. He took them to the woodshed, and disciplined them in public view.
Hassett rightfully accused the TPC for ignoring widely accepted economic literature, for using false assumptions on tax details that have never been published, and for manufacturing income-redistribution (“tax cuts for the rich”) and deficit numbers that don’t even exist.

When Hannah Scherlacher found her name on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s LGBTQ hate list, she called to ask why.
“I have never said or done anything to indicate hate for the LGBTQ community,” Scherlacher wrote in Fox News. “When I called to inquire, SPLC informed me that I am guilty because I did a radio interview with Family Research Council Radio. …The segment was about socialism, but because FRC holds traditional family values, I was labeled an LGBT-hater just for being a guest on the show. No LGBT topics even came-up.”
The search for heretics and sinner is never-ending.

Steve Sailer fisks David Brooks, pet pseudo-conservative of the New York Times.
Brooks is everything that Donald Trump hates about the Republican Party. The essence of Donald Trump is that it is possible to divide the world into two groups, Americans and non-Americans, and that he was elected to do things for the Americans. Brooks appears to be of the opinion, common on the left and in the Republican Establishment, that everybody is kinda-sorta an American, with some living in the U.S. and others not yet; the way Israel looks on Jews of the Diaspora.
Whatever disagreements I may have with Trump (and there are more than you know), I am with him in this.

The Associated Press is a loyal servant of the Democratic Party and its liberal components. If you doubt that assertion, consider today’s AP article on the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court term by reporter Mark Sherman.
Like pretty much all AP reporters, Sherman is a liberal, as you can see from his Twitter feed. So how does a liberal reporter spin his coverage of the Supreme Court? It’s easy: he just frames every legal issue with the liberal narrative, and turns exclusively to liberal sources for comments on the Court’s controversial cases.

‘Hepeating’ is the latest word to enter the feminist lexicon. Following the introduction of eye-rolling gendered terms like “manspreading” and “manflu,” the word “hepeating” has been made popular thanks to social media and countless progressive websites embracing the newly defined term.
The Leftist search for heretics and sinner proceeds apace, even when they have to make it up.
Hepeating is supposedly what happens when a woman comes up with a good idea or suggestion and pitches it at the workplace, where she’s subsequently ignored by her colleagues. But, when a male colleague repeats her words and gets a positive response, he is credited for her proposal.
Never seen that happen, during twenty-five years in IT. Never heard any woman complain about it.
