Monday on FNC’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, a former liberal who started a campaign to help disenfranchised liberals leave the Democratic Party appeared as a special guest. Brandon Straka was a member of the Democratic Party, voting for Hillary in 2016. However, Staka explained that even before the election he started to have some misgivings about the direction the left was taking. He disagreed with the focus on identity politics, as well as political correctness.

Welcome to our world, Brandon. If it’s any consolation, we have the best barbecue.

Hillary Clinton goes on a fact-finding visit to Israel. While she is on a tour of Jerusalem she suffers a heart attack and dies.The undertaker tells the Americans accompanying her, ‘You can have her shipped home for $50,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land for just $100’.

The Americans go into a corner to discuss for a few minutes. They return with their answer to the undertaker and tell him they want Hillary shipped home.

The undertaker is puzzled and asks, ‘Why would you spend $50,000 to ship her home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $100? The American diplomats reply, ‘Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can’t take that risk.’

Not only was Barrett not present on the three-judge panel that rendered the verdict, but she didn’t even take her place on the Seventh Circuit until November, 2017 — five months after the case was concluded. In fact, the ruling was penned by Judge Diane Sykes — a woman, certainly, but a completely different one.

We’re sure that if she had been there she would have voted wrong, so it’s ‘fake but accurate’. And besides, TRUMP!

Ace of Spades is delightfully dyspeptic today.

Let’s face it, there is very little difference between fundamental Islam and Leftist-Democrat Progressivism vis a vis it’s totalitarian mindset and aims. In fact, there is a nexus between the two as has been thoroughly documented by Andrew McCarthy. Also of note, along with the Left’s desire to gain total political control by using open borders and Amnesty to supplant our culture and populace with a mass of illiterate peasants more than eager to vote for Santa Claus, that very same open border gives easy access to Islamic terrorists coming in from Central and South America. Hell, why even bother? For the past 20 years or more, our government willingly let them in through the front door to radicalize both the schools and prisons resulting in the fiend who could have created a bloody nightmare had he not been stopped.

This is precisely why you got Trump and this is why he had a travel ban, the illegal usurpation of power by Justice Punchy Macadamia Molokai Leper and his black-robed minions notwithstanding. That could not be allowed because, Emma Lazarus or something, and racist. Or perhaps they too understand what open borders really does to a nation. But if you commit the mortal sin of pointing all of that out, it’s you that will face the wrath of Sarsour the Hamas Louse and Alexandria “Loopy Velez” Ocasio-Cortez and the Thought Police who will make your life a living hell. Or worse.

Paul Mirengoff breaks out the popcorn.

I mention Brock’s allegation because it has been revived — a sure sign that the silly, albeit deadly serious, season of another judicial confirmation struggle is upon us. Off-hand comments a candidate may (or may not) have made at a party more than 20 years ago become fair game. Associates who were mentored by a candidate and who followed him from one job to another can allege, years after the fact, that the candidate engaged in sexual harassment. The allegation will enter, and very likely dominate, the debate over the nominee.

Don Surbur provides us with a handy generic screed against Trump’s new Supreme Court pick.

Writing newspaper editorials is an exercise in exasperating futility. They have scant impact. 243 newspapers endorsed Hillary. 20 endorsed Donald John Trump. Who won?

To those still laboring at a craft that last had impact in the 19th century, I draw upon my 27 years of experience to offer this generic editorial on whomever President Trump nominates for the Supreme Court.

You may cut and paste it, and your boss will not notice the difference.

Applicable to anybody Trump might pick, including Obama.

Greg Cochran reviews an important new genetics book.

In this book, Carl Zimmer tries to lay out how our ideas and knowledge of genetics have developed over time, and where we are today. He mixes in discussion of the social impact of these ideas. Some of those discussions are reasonable, some are not.

…

Before I go any further – Zimmer is wordy. He has things to say, but he never uses one word when ten will do. The facts are always part of some long-winded human-interest story. If you like that sort of thing, you may like this book. I cannot say that I did.

The real problem with this book is that, to Zimmer and many other people, genetics itself is the enemy. The facts, not the discipline, particularly in how they apply to humans. We now know that everything is heritable, to varying degrees  — and the more that life is determined or influenced by genetics, the less blank the slate, the less that can be accomplished by egalitarian social policies (or by aristocratic social policies, for that matter). The facts of genetics are caltrops on the road to a ‘just’ society. Zimmer is moderately fair-minded, usually mentioning both criticism of genetic claims and the response to that criticism — but he still gives the impression of wishing these claims had never been made and dislikes scientists who discovered unpleasant truths.

The sad thing about modern science writing is that people don’t feel free to say what they want to say without a lot of tedious SJW base-touching and virtue-signalling, even when it’s not really relevant. Judges often speak of the ‘chilling effect’ of various infringements on Constitutional rights; but that’s nothing compared to the ‘chilling effect’ of the proglodyte cultural miasma we all wade through on actual useful intellectual endeavors.

America’s cities all have the same dream these days: to be the next Silicon Valley. To court Big Tech, they have taken to showering some of the world’s most profitable companies with taxpayers’ cash.

On the surface the rationale seems obvious. Manufacturing is so 20th century: ship in the tech bros. Just 12% of engineering jobs are held by women in the US. That number rises to 27% for computer and mathematical jobs, but still if you know someone working in tech, chances are, they’re a man. and soon your rusty old mills will be designer lofts and your dying main street will throb with millennials, craft beer bars and gluten-free bakeries.

The year was 2010, and Neymar, then 18, had shot to fame in Brazil after a sensational breakout season. During an interview for the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, in between a conversation about Disneyland and sports cars, he was asked if he had ever experienced racism. “Never. Not in the field, nor outside of it,” he replied.

“It’s not like I’m black, you know?”

His answer was heard like a record-scratch across the country. Was this young man in denial about his racial identity? Particularly when in the same interview he outlined his meticulous hair care regime, which involved getting his locks chemically straightened every few weeks, then bleached blonde.

To those who obsess on race, the world is full of thorny conundrums. He would certainly qualify as ‘black’ for affirmative-action purposes in the U.S., but apparently Brazil is more ‘nuanced’ about that sort of thing.

That same year, in Spain, a spectator threw a banana at Daniel Alves, Neymar’s fellow Brazilian and then-teammate at F.C. Barcelona. Alves jauntily ate the banana in defiance.

Now that’s comedy. That guy is a Republican in his heart.

Police say 30-year-old Timmy Kinner of Los Angeles, Calif. has been booked at the Ada County jail on nine charges of aggravated battery and six charges of injury to a child – all felonies. A motive hasn’t been released.

Kinner had been living at the apartment complex until he was asked to leave Friday, authorities say. It’s unclear how long he may have been in Idaho.

Here’s Timmy Kinner:

According to Wikipedia, the racial composition of the city is 89% white, 1.5% black.

Guess all that White Privilege just got to him.

ZMan sees through a glass, darkly.

Imagine if it was OK in the Senate for a back bencher to murder his rivals in order to gain a senior position in the Senate. That could be tempting to an upstart, but then again, killing off newcomers would suddenly make sense for those already in power. Having rules against murdering rivals protects all concerned, and by extension, the ruling class as a while. An orderly system of distributing power and promoting new people up the hierarchy encourages everyone in the ruling class to defend the ruling class system.

It’s why we always see so-called conservatives, for example, rushing to the nearest microphone to disavow challenges from their right. They always frame it is a choice between reasonable compromise versus unreasonable extremism. Their calls for civility are essentially a defense of the current order. The rules work for them, as it allows them to enjoy a one percent lifestyle as the in-house opposition to the Left. While not as gratuitous, Progressives will also call for civility when they sense a threat from their Left.

That’s what makes the debate on the Left about tactics, interesting to anyone on this side of the great divide. From the perspective of dissidents, politics is a spectator sport. There is no one speaking for our issues in the halls of power. Immigration patriots, race realists, populists and nationalists are all excluded from the political debate. On the other hand, the most radical Progressive crazies get at least an audience with the people in charge.
