Eventually we might learn that all the Concerned Christian Conservatives agitating for Barack Obama in 2008 were, as strongly, strongly suspected, hired by David Axelrod to interfere with the election.

As Instapundit noted, if this were a right-wing effort to flood the channels of public discourse with fake, paid political advertisements (and shouldn’t these be classified as advertisements, and disclosed as such, as required by federal elections law?), the media would be shrieking about this with Russia Conspiracy Theory level hysteria.

What you are about to read in this article is likely to make you very angry. Once upon a time, the primary mission of our hospitals was to help people, but today they have become vicious financial predators. Many Americans try very hard to avoid visiting the hospital because of what it might cost, but if an emergency happens there is no choice. They often get us when we are at our most vulnerable, and they never explain to us in advance how much their services will actually cost. And then eventually when the bills start arriving we discover that they have charged us 30 dollars for a single aspirin or “$2,000 for a $20 feeding tube”. It is a giant scam, but they have been getting away with it for decades, and so they just keep on doing it. And many hospitals go after those that are not able to pay their ridiculous bills extremely aggressively.

I recently had a negative experience at a hospital. The whole attitude is that the patient’s time is of ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE. You just have to set there and wait for them to get around to telling you what is going on, and pay whatever it is they decide to make you pay. They tell you it’ll be an hour and four hours later you’re still waiting? Too bad.

I am not making this up.

A married man who died of a heart attack after having sex on a business trip in France was ruled to have been the victim of a workplace accident — making his company financially responsible, according to reports.

Engineer Xavier X was found dead in his hotel room in Meung-sur-Loire shortly after having sex with a local woman he’d just met, according to the Times of London.

Lawyers for his bosses at the Parisian railroad construction company TSO insisted he was not performing duties when he had the heart attack — blaming the “adulterous sex act that he had had with a complete stranger,” according to the report.

But appeals court judges ruled that an employee on assignment “is entitled to their employer’s protection for the duration of their mission … whether or not the accident takes place as part of a professional activity or as an act of normal life,” the report said.

That’s going to make for some pretty interesting expense reports.

Chicago has been losing people for years now, but Los Angeles and New York City have also found themselves on the decline. Both cities had been seeing domestic outmigration (people moving out of the city to other parts of the country) for several years, but foreign immigration into the two cities have long made up for it.

But new census data show that Los Angeles County is seeing a net loss of about 13,000 folks, and New York’s Bronx, Kings, and Queens counties (all containing parts of New York City) have seen a combined net loss of about 40,000 people, based on census data released back in April.

I wouldn’t be surprised if one or both of the companies just took a look at the numbers, realized they can’t make a profit under these new regulations, and just shut up shop in the state, throwing all of the snowflakes out of work. That would really be a win, wouldn’t it? Certain for the businesses that Uber and Lyft are ‘disrupting’; those people would really party. And the snowflakes would be sitting on the curb with empty pockets saying to themselves “Wait a minute — I thought we won.”

The meaning of “socialism” has evolved; or, one might say, it is flying under a false flag. When Democratic politicians advocate socialism, they don’t talk about North Korea, Soviet Russia, Albania, Cuba (anymore) or Venezuela (anymore). Rather, they talk about Sweden, Denmark and Norway–countries that are not, in fact, socialist. One might conclude that they just want a slightly larger welfare state–accompanied, although they never say this, by a less progressive tax system and often more business-friendly policies.

The United States “owes a profound and enduring debt of gratitude” to its historically black colleges and universities, President Donald Trump said in an address Tuesday, at which he announced new support from his administration for the institutions.

I always use those little plastic packets (available for free from any fast-food restaurant), laying them carefully on the table and using a Xacto knife to put a small nick in one end. Then you hold it over the food with the nick toward the food, put two fingers on either side of the packet, and slowly run your fingers from the top to the bottom, neatly extracting the sauce.

Or you can just put them on the table and slam them with your fist. If you hold your hand correctly all of the sauce will go on your companions instead of yourself. This is especially handy when faced with armed assailants.

This reflects a problem I’ve addressed at The American Spectator (“Another Dot on the ‘Hate Map’,” Feb. 22), where the SPLC targets entire communities as “hate” locations based on dubious claims, in order to create an exaggerated sense of menace for fund-raising purposes. By the standards of the SPLC, just about every Baptist church in America could be designated an “anti-LGBT hate group,” and if hate groups are everywhere, what’s the point of all those dots on the map?
