Maryland and D.C. officials sue President Trump, alleging he’s violating the Constitution’s Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses by maintaining an ownership interest in the Trump Organization while president. That “global business empire”—which includes the Trump International Hotel in D.C. (in which the president has a 76% interest), the Trump towers in Manhattan, and income from the international distribution of The Apprentice—provides him with millions of dollars from foreign and local governments. Fourth Circuit: Maryland and the District lack standing to bring this “extraordinary” suit against the president in either his official capacity or his individual capacity. (With some fun interlocutory appeal twists for those interested in such things.)

The Other McCain calls a time-out.
Ever since President Trump was elected, leftists have been pointing fingers at everyone and everything, screaming “white supremacist”!
It’s not just Republicans (“Fascists!”) and Trump (“Hitler!”) who have been targeted by this campaign of screeching hysteria. In their paranoid dementia, leftists now see “white supremacy” everywhere, as if they are surrounded by a continuous Klan rally. The Washington Post now sees “white supremacy” in children’s cartoons….

The “fact checkers” at Snopes.com are running to the defense of liberal Democrats again in a July 10 post headlined “Did Rep. Frederica Wilson Advocate Prosecuting People Who ‘Make Fun’ of Congress?”
The answer is yes. But David Mikkelson at Snopes insisted “context is key,” that conservative media outlets like the Washington Times and the Daily Wire skipped over how Wilson was responding to rude Facebook memes.
Snopes has gone from being reliable fact-checkers to being a reliable Voice of the Crust who will join the DemLegHump Media when necessary. Very sad.

Audacious Epigone questions some assertions.
While I’m certainly no expert on white nationalism, I was aware of It’s okay to be white, NPCs, and clown world. These all made inroads into mainstream culture. I can’t recall ever seeing the Betsy Ross flag used in any such context, though.
Is the assertion nothing more than a blatant lie employed for the purposes of suppressing criticism of a radical request made by Kaepernick and granted by Nike?
Or, rather than reactive damage control, is this a test run for an aggressive escalation in the culture war unlike anything that has come before?

Mainstream bioethics is often really just leftwing politics, masking as a field of objective expertise that seeks to influence society far beyond medical ethics and health care public policy. As an example, the other day I pointed out that leaders of the movement recently presumed to make the global-warming controversy a bioethics issue — which it isn’t.
‘Bioethicist’ is an occupation like ‘grief counselor’ that requires only a compulsion to tell other people what they ought to do.

Bloomberg: White House Considers Capital Gains Tax Break That Would Benefit Wealthy
Name a ‘capital gains tax break’ that would NOT ‘benefit wealthy’. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
An honest headline, one for a NEWS organization, would have been ‘White House Considers Capital Gains Tax Break’. But that’s not the important part, for Bloomberg; the important part is the ‘Benefit Wealth’. They have to stick that in there so you’ll know that the White House is Contemplating Evil. The fact is that any ‘tax break’ is going to ‘benefit wealthy’, because wealthy people are the ones who are paying most of the taxes.
CNN: Trump considers bypassing Congress to cut capital gains tax on wealthy, report says
This is even more dishonest. They might as well have used the headline ‘The Latest Evil Thing Trump Is Going To Do’. The focus here is not on benefiting the wealthy, although that notion gets a drive-by, but what a low-live MF that Trump is.
Any cut in the capital gains tax won’t just benefit the wealthy, but anybody who pays capital gains, including Aunt Minnie in Kenosha who is depending on withdrawals from her IRA in order to fund her retirement. Certainly wealthy people will get a disproportionate benefit, but that’s because wealthy people have more money to invest — and they do invest it; they don’t just stick it in a cupboard somewhere — and so they pay most of the capital gains taxes.
But, again, the focus is on Trump, and any stick they can find to beat him with (even if they have to build it out of distortions) will do.
This sort of crap is why people rate ‘journalists’ below even Congress in trustworthiness.

I’ll take the other side of that bet.
For one thing, I doubt that Gavin Newsom would recognize ‘hyper-masculinity’ if it peed on his leg — which it would probably do.
For another, I see no signs of ‘hyper-masculinity’ anywhere in the Republican party — more’s the pity.
For a third, no prediction of the coming demise of either the Republicans or Democrats — and there have been plenty of both during my lifetime — has ever come true. I suppose it’s possible, but the structure of our political system argues against it.
