Nearly three quarters of a century after his death, Hitler’s shadow continues to fall across Europe. Any dissent from any modern orthodoxy, no matter how silly, soon meets with the argumentum ad Hitlerum, to the effect that something or other is the beginning of the slippery slope to Auschwitz. Guilt by association is now the highest form of refutation—other than outright abuse, of course.

No matter who you are, there’s somebody out there who thinks you’re a racist. That being so, the term ‘racist’ (like the terms ‘fascist’ or ‘sexist’) are empty of content; it’s just a shorthand way of saying ‘I hate you!’
Unfortunately, such HateWords are in common use among the more deranged and simple-minded of our fellow citizens. Be on the lookout, as you would when swimming in shark-infested waters.

Presidents traditionally work with senators from judicial nominees’ home state — in this case, California — to put forward judicial picks. They often seek what’s known as a “blue slip,” or an opinion from those senators.
But in a snub to California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, the White House announced Wednesday that Trump had nominated Patrick Bumatay, Daniel Collins and Kenneth Kiyul Lee (all from the Golden State, and reportedly all members of the conservative Federalist Society) to the influential circuit. The court, with a sprawling purview representing nine Western states, has long been a thorn in the side of the Trump White House, with rulings against the travel ban and limits on funding to “sanctuary cities.”
…
“I repeatedly told the White House I wanted to reach an agreement on a package of 9th Circuit nominees, but last night the White House moved forward without consulting me, picking controversial candidates from its initial list and another individual with no judicial experience who had not previously been suggested,” she said in a statement.
When you pee in the soup, don’t complain about how it tastes.

One of the seminal shakeups in American politics was when a lot of liberal Democrats decided that they couldn’t take it any more and became right-wing Republicans. These were the so-called ‘neo-cons’: Irving Kristol, Normal Podhoretx, Midge Decter, etc. They are the intellectual heavyweights behind the ‘Invade the world, invite the world’ program that the Republican establishment has followed during the Cold War and beyond.
Another movement now seems to be taking place, where the Never-Trumper Republicans are taking a hard look at the existing Republican party and deciding that they really don’t have anything in common with Those People. So we see people like Max Boot sounding more and more like proglodyte Democrats. They’re cashing in on their former status as ‘conservatives’ by writing Republican-bashing pieces for the DemLegHump Media, but eventually that Clever Plastic Disguise will wear thin, and they’ll subside into the Swamp with the rest of their new friends.

Over the past week, we watched this myth unfold in real time as Hurricane Florence devastated the Carolinas. A headline on a Florida TV station’s website that read “Looting already starts as Florence arrives” captured the attitude many in the media take on as a disaster begins. They find a single, isolated incident, and frame it as “just the beginning” of an impending crime wave—with no evidence that this is the case. Reports like this can instill fear and convince people that they shouldn’t evacuate.

I’ve seen several people observe that the anti-Kavanaugh protests of the last few weeks in Washington were demographically embarrassing for the race-conscious left. I recall seeing one comment that the composition of the protests was “whiter than a suburban country club.”
But a new study just out from a British study group makes the left’s fanaticism about diversity and political correctness look even worse. The study, Hidden Tribes: A Study of America’s Polarized Landscape, makes for rough reading for the progressive race-mongers.
