Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini spoke recently in a public square in the Italian coastal town of Sabaudia. In the midst of the current government crisis, Mr. Salvini’s focus was on the migration crisis, and the recent governmental decree that dramatically increases the penalties imposed on NGOs whose vessels “rescue” migrants and bring them to Italy.
Mr. Salvini’s popularity is at an all-time high, as is that of his party, the Lega.

The study “Robots And Racism” from the Human Interface Technology Laboratory in New Zealand indicates that a robot’s color will determine how it is racially perceived. This supposedly explains why so many robots happen to be white in color: due to alleged racial preferences, the 2018 study says.
Remember that all the R2 units in Star Wars were white and the Empire’s robots were black. I guess George Lucas is a closet racist.

The New York Times article posed as a “fun” interactive quiz but hid some nasty Republican sliming in the text, accusing the GOP of conspiring to hold on to office via “voter suppression or attempts to skew the census” : “Quiz: Let Us Predict Whether You’re a Democrat or a Republican.”
It’s a creation of Sahil Chinoy, a graphics editor for the Times Opinion section, similar to his previous “graphics” story in July, in which one of his graphics showed a major swerve to the left by the Democrats since 2008 but which was downplayed in the text, in favor of the story’s intended takeaway of Republicans careening toward the “far right.”

Byron York has.
But the question is, was he inspired by President Trump? It is hard to make that case looking at the manifesto in its entirety.
Crusius worried about many things, if the manifesto is any indication. He certainly worried about immigration, but also about automation. About job losses. About a universal basic income. Oil drilling. Urban sprawl. Watersheds. Plastic waste. Paper waste. A blue Texas. College debt. Recycling. Healthcare. Sustainability. And more. Large portions of the manifesto simply could not be more un-Trumpian.

I’ll bet you didn’t know that there was such a thing has an Immigration Judges Union.
The Trump administration asked a federal panel to revoke the exclusive right of a public sector union to represent immigration judges in collective bargaining Friday.
The union, the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ), has been at odds with the administration over substantive policy directives and the independence of the immigration courts.
I’m not comfortable with the idea of judges in a union, especially one with some sort of exclusive right.
Unions are for people with no market power because what they do can be done by any literate numerate person. I don’t see judges being in that demographic.
Federal law defines management officials as “any individual employed by an agency in a position the duties and responsibilities of which require or authorize the individual to formulate, determine, or influence the policies of the agency.” The Department of Justice told the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) that immigration judges qualify as management officials and therefore cannot be members of a bargaining unit.
Seems pretty cut and dried to me.
The NAIJ has publicly objected to the government’s efforts to speed deportations and otherwise streamline the immigration system.
Now that sounds like a union.

Apparently, the pro-abortion left holds animals up to a higher moral standard than human beings. On August 8th, the Huffington Post reported that two lion cubs were eaten by their mother two days after their birth in a German zoo. Reporter David Moye called the deaths “tragic.” This is ironic coming from HuffPo, which supports abortion even after the baby is born.

Dr. Robert Epstein is a psychologist, professor, and author. He’s the former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today.
Dr. Epstein is a liberal Democrat. In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee (see below), he described himself as a “vocal public supporter” of Hillary Clinton. He said that to characterize him as not a Republican and not a conservative is “an understatement.”
Epstein testified that in the 2016 election, Google generated a minimum of 2.6 million votes for Clinton through deceptive manipulation of search results. He warned that if, in 2020, companies like Google and Facebook all support the same presidential candidate (as surely they will) they could affect up to 15 million votes, e.g. by “go vote” reminders sent only to those believed to be Democrats.

We are in the middle of a White Fright. The same kooks, who were flooding the internet with claims of Russian election interference, are now sowing panic over a grand white conspiracy to do no one knows what. They are now competing with one another for who can conjure the most bizarre conspiracy theory. The similarities between now and the mood of France in the summer of 1789 are obvious. The Great Fear was a panic that gripped the peasantry, while the White Fright is gripping our rulers.

When an ancient Roman heard the word “liberal” he thought of someone who possess the virtue of “liberality,” or generosity. When most Americans hear the word “liberal” they think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. When most Europeans hear the word “liberal” they think of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Some scholars trace the roots of liberalism to Christianity, whereas others trace it to a “battle against Christianity,” to quote Rosenblatt (emphasis in original). This makes one wonder whether the word has any meaning at all.

Let me lead you through a portal created in the basement of some secretive and sinister government laboratory and into the Educational Upside Down.
The Educational Upside Down is a parallel dimension where elementary school children are captivated by street signs and bored rigid by myths and tales of heroes. It is a dimension where early readers work out the relationships between the sounds of English and the letters that represent these sounds largely by being immersed in anodyne, specially written story books. Yet, weirdly, it is also a dimension where children have to be explicitly taught ‘comprehension strategies’ to understand what they read, such as activating their prior knowledge or deciding which sentence is the most important, and then must practice these strategies for the greater part of the school day. This is a dimension where knowledge of the world—that same prior knowledge that needs activating—is the last thing that it would occur to anyone to actually teach children in schools.

It’s almost as if Quentin Tarantino is not a public utility, but instead is an individual man with individual strengths and weaknesses, such as being better at writing dialogue for men (and, moreover, for certain types of men: e.g., middle-aged Hollywood tough guys) than for women or talking babies or space robots or whatever.
A huge problem facing 21st Century culture is that most of the grand achievements of the last 600 years, back to Brunelleschi and Donatello in 15th Century Florence, were the work of individual white men.

The Other McCain is dubious.
Here was an unemployed 21-year-old attending community college while living with his grandparents, and receiving food stamps, yet he somehow managed to come up with the cash to purchase a rifle. His mother — who insists her son was “taught love, kindness, respect, and tolerance” — becomes concerned about her son’s behavior and calls police, but does not give them sufficient information to alert them to a potential threat. She doesn’t want to take responsibility for her failure as a parent, having raised a mass murderer who, not coincidentally, was such a hopeless loser that he got lost on his way to his planned target.
