The post is so good in its entirety that it's worth taking 2-3 minutes (to skim)// 5-6 minutes (to read): Link: "House Override Vote of Trump's Emergency Border Wall Order Fails, 248-181; Wall Construction Will Begin" Here's how the post starts (don't stop with this snippet; read it through!)...

Take at look at this 1-minute video. Framing everything as a matter of life and death is hyperbolic; not at all how adults have an intelligent policy discussion/debate. But, as we've come to see (over and over again), adults don't seem to be the Dems' core constituency. Link: "THE DEMS’...

Have been reading Victor Davis Hanson's "The Case For Trump" (<- Link) and I must say it's quite the read. Certainly, there are forum members whose heads will explode reading this recommendation, but for those willing to give it a chance I think you'll find it well worth the time/effort. Hanson...

Here's a very interesting article (but I wouldn't call it unexpected, as far as the punch line goes). A bit long, but worth the read. And worth keeping within reach when the question of tolerance comes up. Intolerance goes both ways, but no matter how hard The Atlantic tries to soften the...

Can't be real, can it? Regardless, funny, I think. --- End of line (MCP)

Just a little misunderstanding, I'm guessing. Hoodlum looking for a reason to be stupidly malicious/mischievous or politically-motivated assault? Or both? What the hell is going on, people?! Link: New Jersey Teen Charged With Assaulting 81-Year-Old Man Wearing 'MAGA' Hat --- End of line...

In what can only be described as "irony personified" Zachary Greenberg, a 28-YO non-UCB student,... o_O "Angrily accosting Williams...and accused him of 'encouraging violence' before...punching him in the face." o_O Indeed. I imagine his defense will be exactly that: Williams (the student...

Here's what showed up in my News Reader feed this morning for The Baynet (and in the order shown). Coincidence? I think not. ======================================================================================...

Hi, all. Another long one. Nevertheless, I hope some find it interesting food for thought.... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So. Much is being made about Ambassador Ryan Crocker's comments regarding what is going on in Afghanistan. As the sides line up, folks...

Worth reading the entirety of this short article (about 3 minutes of your time). Also worth checking out the links within the article (and note the linked articles' sources). LIBERAL SOCIAL DARWINISM IN ACTION But if 3 minutes is too much at this time, here's the TL;DR version: Washington...

Just saw this. Have no idea if it's recent or from some time ago. Los Angeles. This has to be the work of Sabo/UnsavoryAgents/etc., right? Couldn't possibly be real, could it? It can't be, right? --- End of line (MCP)

NYC's former mayor and Johns Hopkins celebrated alum (& donor), Michael Bloomberg, wants the university to have an armed police force saying it’s 'ridiculous' the institution doesn't have an armed police force. "When you have a city that has the murder rate that Baltimore has, I think it’s...

I posted this as a response to a thread that is several days old and perhaps getting stale.... But it is so interesting that I think it's worth posting as it's own thread so as not to get lost in the sauce (as it were). Scott Adams' Periscope presentation this a.m. has an interesting take on...

Some poorly-organized thoughts regarding the saying that America loves a winner. I. Does America love a winner? Not sure that's true. Then again, it might be. Turns out it depends on how one defines "America" and how one defines "winning." That's pretty clear as it pertains to the current...

So what do you think...? A new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll finds that 74% of Democrats (and people who lean Dem) would consider voting for Ocasio-Cortez if she were old enough to run for president. (She's 29; you have to be at least 35.) Jon Cohen, SurveyMonkey's chief research officer, tells...
