It just shows you how far (and how fast) the middle has slid to the left.

This lady is insane.



Logic: laws are all constitutional, because shitty horrible laws were constitutional before they were later found unconstitutional.

EDIT: WTF is going on with the display of images which have been uploaded to the cimg0.ibsrv.net server?

Is anyone able to see the two images which I embedded above?

Internet Brands apparently felt that we were not unhappy enough, so they decided to break a very simple function which has worked reliably for over a decade.

Republicans who claim to oppose spending billions on welfare benefits for non-citizens are lying.

I'm in bed with the flu and don't want to say what I really think about this right now. I'm sure it's fever delirium.

Don Lemon doesn't live in Minneapolis. He lives more than 1,100 miles away, in a $3.1 million, four-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Sag Harbor, New York. This "organic" eruption required planning, coordination, and media choreography. This was staged, packaged, and distributed--another entry in the progressive propaganda content mill.

The arrogance and self-righteousness on display were so complete that no apology was required and no reflection even contemplated. Terrorism--specifically threats of violence against innocent people for political gain--was not only present but excused. The congregation itself became a hostage, both literally and psychologically, with intimidation treated as moral pressure rather than criminal behavior.

The characteristics on display inside that church were not incidental. They were the tools--straight out of an Alinsky playbook. This behavior isn't merely about gaining power; it's about holding it. Intimidation supplanted persuasion, chaos has taken the place of consent, and fear now stands in for legitimacy.

What is becoming increasingly clear is that the people driving this radicalism are not animated by sincere concern for illegal aliens, the poor, or any of the groups they claim to champion. Those groups are useful precisely because they are politically leverageable. They serve as swords and shields--human props in a performative project aimed at destabilizing institutions that stand in the way of permanent power for a progressive movement hell-bent on acquiring it.

"Revolution" is encouraged not because conditions demand it, but because disorder benefits those who wish to rule without limits. The tactics are straight out of the same tired Marxist oppressed-versus-oppressor dialectic we've seen for more than a century.

We have reached a stage in America where no boundary is regarded as inviolable, because boundaries themselves are now treated as oppression. There is no institution too sacred, no law too settled, no norm too fundamental to be violated if it obstructs the pursuit of power.

The Minneapolis church assault was not a warning about what might happen. It was a demonstration of what is already happening--and a preview of what will be repeated, refined, and escalated unless it is confronted plainly, forcefully, and completely.
