Here is who it IS representative of. . . . . . . . The Left. Portland Radicals Admit Torching 17 Police Cars, Their Statement Is Nuts and All About Campus Protests By Nick Arama I've written before about how crazy the radical left is in Portland. We saw a recent example of that with how they took over the library at Portland State University. What they left was disgusting: they trashed the place. They had paint all over the floors and graffiti all over the walls, they smashed glass cases, they had makeshift weapons, and there were even reports of value book/comic collections missing from the library. Then when the police raided, many of them seemed to have been allowed to just run right out the front door. After the library was cleared out, they even had the gall to come back the next day to try it again. The police did arrest about 30 people over the course of two days, noting that some of them were not students. As I noted, the timing was highly suspicious considering it happened right before the raid on the PSU campus activists. Now a group calling itself "Rachel Corrie's Ghost Brigade" is admitting they did it to strike first at the police, believing a raid was coming. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/05/07/portland-radical-group-admits-torching-police-cars-to-strike-first-before-police-raided-campus-occupiers-n2173880 Apparently he thinks feels that Jewish students would not have been bullied if we had just not paid attention. .

JOHN LUCAS: “As I type this, the President is reading a speech to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day. He is now urging us to ‘never forget’ the Holocaust and other outrages perpetrated against the Jewish people. This same man has attempted to micromanage Israel’s conduct of its defense against the Hamas murderers and has followed through by cutting off or limiting ammunition supplies to Israel. Never forget? Pay no attention to what this man says. Watch what he does — and does not do.” https://johnalucas6.substack.com/p/bit-and-pieces-5-a-study-in-presidential .

SAD. UPDATE NEWSPEAK DICTIONARIES APPROPRIATELY, COMRADES: End of an Era: Boy Scouts of America Officially Changes Name to Embrace Inclusivity After 114 Years. The “woke virus” continues to spread in America. The Boy Scouts of America has announced a major rebranding as it transitions to “Scouting America,” marking the first name change in its 114-year legacy. The move is part of the organization’s bid to distance itself from its troubled past marred by a torrent of sexual abuse claims and subsequent bankruptcy while simultaneously embracing “inclusivity.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/end-era-boy-scouts-america-officially-changes-name/?

Wrong thread. .

Mike Johnson Meets With Marjorie Taylor Greene to Hash Out Their Differences Amid Ouster Threats https://redstate.com/jeffc/2024/05/07/mike-johnson-meets-with-marjorie-taylor-greene-to-hash-out-their-differences-amid-ouster-threats-n2173874 That's what leaders do. .

I agree.

Still fixated on his College instead of on his vast accomplishments. The board members can easily see where the inferiority complex lies. It is the rule for Frank and many others here, Cannot remotely compete with conservative writers and ideas, are reduced to "unclever repartee" to hide it. .

What he cannot face, He hides behind laughably poor attempts at smears. Frank is transparent. .

LOL. How predictable. Another 'decree' from the mountaintop. Best selling author for decades, Winner of multiple national writing awards, Visiting professor of classics at Stanford University, U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, School of Public Policy at Pepperdine University, Since 2004, Hanson has written a weekly column syndicated by Tribune Content Agency, Winner of multiple national journalism awards BU, you know, Frankie thinks feels he knows better. Always a hoot. .

Imagine missing the point of the thread so badly, and then posting to highlight your ignorance. Meanwhile:

Biden Smacked DOWN for Gaslighting About Wages 'Outpacing' Inflation' Amy Curtis The other day, the Biden campaign mentioned its strategy for this election was 'quality over quantity.' Still waiting on that 'quality' to show up, especially when whatever intern drew the short straw and had to post this steaming pile of lies on X: This is a lie. Even NBC is reporting this very basic economic fact: inflation outpaced wages for quite some time, and continues to do so. https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/05/06/biden-lies-about-wages-n2395924 https://www.nbcwashington.com/inflation-economy-housing-prices-recession-vibes/a-tale-of-2-economies-wages-are-going-up-why-do-we-feel-like-we-cant-afford-anything/3536747/?amp=1 .

As much as people on the political left like to try to prune their social media presence so that they never have to interact with anyone who differs from them in opinion in any substantial way, the sad truth is that a person simply cannot live his or her entire life online. No matter what happens you are, from time to time, forced to venture forth into the cold scary world far from your carefully cultivated walled online garden and in doing so you risk coming face to face with that which you had so dreaded all this time: People who disagree with you. The horror! The humanity! Such a tragedy occurred for poor Michille Kosinski, formerly a Senior Diplomatic Correspondent for CNN, when she encountered people with Conservative beliefs (and maybe even crypto-MAGA's!) at a dinner party, which she took to the digital pages of Twitter to breathlessly recount. When one is faced with something this traumatic it's important to get it off of your chest immediately before it festers and turns into a pathological mental issue, right? We start off with the base assumption she had going in that anyone who's well-educated must be an ideological fellow traveler, which is always hilarious. Progressives tend to think they're the only smart people in the room and are shocked whenever they encounter anyone with all of the credentials and outward signs of intelligence who hasn't come to the same ideological conclusions as they have. It's really funny. More at the link: https://twitchy.com/coucy/2024/05/06/thread-former-cnn-correspondent-horrified-to-find-herself-in-the-company-of-shudder-trump-supporters-n2395933 .

Biden Loses Support Among Black Men, WSJ Poll Finds. ” While most Black men said they intend to support Biden, some 30% of them in the poll said they were either definitely or probably going to vote for the former Republican president. There isn’t comparable WSJ swing-state polling from 2020, but Trump received votes from 12% of Black men nationwide that year, as recorded by AP VoteCast, a large poll of the electorate.” https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/biden-trump-black-men-support-election-2024-poll-a7d9da22 .

Reminder:

Democrats use the legal system to target the right — yet give the left a pass By Glenn H. Reynolds “For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.” This philosophy, announced by Brazilian President Getulio Vargas in the 1940s, is no longer just the favored approach of Latin American strongmen. It has become the openly practiced strategy of today’s Democratic machine. Laws that hamper Democrats are ignored. Laws that might be used to hurt Republicans are enforced to — and often well past — the limits of the law. One need look no farther than the absurd circus-clown show trial (one pundit prefers the term “goat rodeo”) in which the state of New York has gone so far in trying to turn Donald Trump’s (alleged) personal peccadilloes into business crimes that Gov. Hochul had to go out of her way to reassure other businessmen that this was a one-off, and that only Trump would be prosecuted under this novel approach to the law. As law professor Jonathan Turley noted in these pages, the New York statute in question has never been used this way before: “Even The New York Times agreed that it could not find a single case in history where this statute was used against an individual or a company that did not commit a criminal offense, go bankrupt, or leave financial victims.” Nothing says “rule of law” like custom-made forms of liability designed for a single hated defendant. {snip} (multiple other examples given) Yet the Supreme Court has made clear that officials have to be evenhanded in their treatment of protests, and can’t discriminate based on whether or not they like the viewpoint, something California federal judge Cormac J. Carney recently noted regarding selective prosecution of right-wing protesters vs. Antifa. But for all the talk about “rule of law,” they’re doing just that in all sorts of cases, all over the country. That needs to stop. For the longer term, we need to do something about policing prosecutors’ discretion to prosecute, and not to. Over a decade ago, before the madness of the Trump years, I wrote about this in the Columbia Law Review, in a piece titled “Ham Sandwich Nation: Due Process When Everything Is a Crime.” As New York Judge Sol Wachtler once said, any competent prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich, which appears to be what Trump prosecutor Alvin Bragg has done. We used to rely on the political process to discipline this sort of overreach, but with politics polarized as they are today, it’s not likely to work. https://nypost.com/2024/05/06/opinion/dems-use-the-legal-system-to-target-the-right-yet-give-the-left-a-pass/ *Please use your routine "belittle the author" childishness.

Real walkaway. Teachers flee nation's largest union in a crisis of its own making by Aaron Withe For the sixth year in a row, the National Education Association (NEA) faces a mass exodus of members. But the blame doesn’t lie with a shrinking student population or loss of funding, as NEA president Becky Pringle would have you believe. The NEA’s blatant prioritization of a radical political agenda at the expense of member representation is the true culprit, resulting in a loss of more than 12,000 members in 2023, per the union’s latest financial report. Union membership rates have been on the downturn for decades. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/teachers-flee-nations-largest-union-crisis-making .
