Oh those fun loving, tolerant, inclusive Progressives!

Emphasis mine:

NY State Employee Demands Death For Trump Supporters, And His Bosses Seem Cool With That

The Conservative Tribune reports that, New York State Employee Demands Death For Trump Supporters, Still Employed.

“To all my friends that live in red voting states,” the screed began. “You have 2 months to move. After that, if you don’t do not consider us friends. I want you dead. I want your families dead. I want your wives, husbands children and grandchildren dead. Not just dead but horrible painful deaths.”

Let’s give this maniac credit, he was not a typical mealy-mouthed, latte-drinking wimp. He said what he was thinking.

Oh, he works for the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. That makes me feel wonderful about the care these folks are getting.

Conservative Tribune has a bit more of the screed:

Data Point – who do we American adults trust?

“Notice, You won’t find any left wing causes at the top of America’s circle of trust.” Actually, this must be soul-crushing to Progressives whose main goal is to always move Power away from the People to a more and more centralized place further and further away from accountability.  Notice that confidence INCREASES as the locus … Read more

No, our government is still not working….fake Obamacare registrations pass.

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small,but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”  – President Obama, Inauguration (2009)

Obamacare -Year of the SnakeIt’s like the TSA of the healthcare industry – lots of people, lots of money, and security kabuki medical theater all around.  Well of COURSE if you aren’t doing the vetting, everything costs more less.  For years we’ve heard that the Feds can run our large public dole systems (e.g., SS, SSI, TANF, Medicare, Medicaid) for less overhead than what private companies can.  Of COURSE they can – while private insurers don’t want to lose their own money, it seems that the Feds have no problem in losing $50-$60 Billion of OUR money and most of that is due to that they do far less fraud detection.  And here, with Obamacare registrations, we see the equivalent of the Democrat aversion to checking that voters are valid:

Consumers can enroll in health-insurance coverage, or change from one qualified health plan to another,6 through the federal and state-based marketplaces either (1) during the annual open enrollment period or (2) outside of the open enrollment period, if they qualify for a special enrollment period (SEP)…Our undercover testing included fictitious applicants claiming to have experienced an event that would trigger eligibility to enroll in health insurance coverage during an SEP…We designed the 12 fictitious applications to provide either no documentation or fictitious documentation related to the SEP triggering event, when instructed to do so.

and bingo….

Those danged Russian hackers strike again!

hackersMy gosh – they’re going after EVERYTHING with a vote! Now they’re interfering with potluck?

AUSTIN, TX—According to sources, local man Clarence Williams has urged his church’s lead pastor as well as local law enforcement to move forward with an investigation into Russian hacking, claiming that there was ample evidence to support the theory that malicious foreign agents infiltrated and influenced the outcome of a vote on the date for next month’s potluck at Second Baptist Church.

So, WHERE did Hillary get her 2016 Presidential election votes?

My, doesn’t that expanse look large: Popular, but basically just in California (yeah, surprise surprise from one of the most Democrat states in the Union).  Take California out of the mix and Trump won the popular vote. (H/T: Instapundit)

Donna Brazile, DNC Chair: OH! CRY for us, we’re VICTIMS!

Donna Brazile - Dirty Democrat from way back whenI just got through watching the interview that Martha Radditz did with the Liar (“I didn’t give questions to Hillary”) still known as the DNC Chair Donna Brazile.  If one ever thought that the Democrats want to make victims out of everyone, you gotta either read the transcript from ABC (after the jump)or watch this clip. She was also set up well by the ABC intro stating “Did the Kremlin want Trump in the White House?” – Democrats with bylines writ large.  EVERYTHING has been thrown against the wall hoping that someone would stick – theft, hack, won’t talk to the CONTENT of the emails, disinformation, the media, Podesta falling for a phishing attempt (“click here”), a bad candidate, FBI Director Comey, won’t talk about the Clinton organizations, attacking the Constitution (the Electoral College); you name it, they’re on it for delegitimizing this election.  Except saying “We lost”.  2000 all over again.

So, can we say this is also Fake News by innuendo?  Is the MSM, Facebook, Twitter, et al going to employ any Conservative third-party agencies to help curate “fake news”?

“How the Minimum Wage hurts young people

Raise the minimum wage – who benefits?  Mostly unions – after all, they are amongst the most vocal of advocates.  Why?  Look at the escalation clauses in many of their work contracts.

Does it really help those at the bottom rungs of the economic ladder?  Is the minimum wage’s purpose, if you listen to Progressives, is to support a family?

One also has to ask – what about the freedom to contract between a prospective employee and an employer, especially when a minimum wage denies employment to those trying to get a start in the labor market?

Obama Press flacker Josh Earnest – this should resonate with conservatives. Wha?

baby in womb

” I’ll leave it to them to explain why it doesn’t

I’ll do just that.  Yeah, this ranks right up there with Democrats re-writing the definition of the word “access” when it comes to birth control” (e.g., not that you can’t buy it for yourself but “denying access” in Democrat-speak means “they can get it “free” on OUR dime”).

So here they go again.  Josh Earnest said concerning the new “rule” that prohibits The Various States from denying Planned Parenthood money (think “strings attached” on steroids).  Here, Earnest tries to redefine what Conservatives believe (like they’ve done with the Little Sisters of the Poor Catholic nuns that believe that providing abortifacients is a grave moral sin):

FastCompany – they may know entrepreneurship and small biz…

fastcompany_logoBut Constitution, not so much.  Nor most of the biz leaders that FastCompany polled in a piece called “How We Should Elect our President in 2016“. It dates back to before the election in November and I just found the page that I ripped out of the magazine.  Yes, it does seem that it is rather left leaning but as a former small biz owner, I just wanted to share how well they know how things should work (or in this case, how it SHOULD work in their Progressive world).  I disagree that ANY of this would “fix” the system – it is clear that none of them know what the Constitution says nor the ramifications would be to their “solutions”:

How We Should Elect our President in 2016

Hard to believe, but this bonkers election cycle is nearly over. Here are some ways that entrepreneurs and educators would fix the system.

When Progressive say bring back the 90% income tax, your response should be…

Only if we have the same sized Federal Government that we had at that level of confiscatory taxation.  From Powerline, a stark delineation of the differing sizes: n 1961, according to my analysis, John F. Kennedy oversaw 450 political and career executives who occupied 17 bureaucratic layers at the top of government. Mr. Trump will … Read more

Another nincompoop article from the Ivory Tower

And we wonder why it seems that much of academia could be replaced with a bunch of monkeys with keyboards?  This is just another example of a couple of self-absorbed professors trying to be “higher ed cool” by throwing lots of multi-syllabic words in a string.

Losing Steam After Marx and Freud: on entropy as the horizon of the community to come

Karyn Ball, University of Alberta

Abstract:

This essay undertakes a critique of recent trends in affect theory from the standpoint of the “human motor”: a trope that presupposes a thermodynamic psychophysiology distended between energy conservation and entropy. In the course of reanimating thermodynamic motifs in Marx’s labor power metabolics and Freud’s trauma energetics, the essay broaches entropics as a poetics of depletion that offsets affect theories promoting open-system metaphors. Open-system affect theory sometimes amalgamates emancipatory post-humanist gestures inherited from

Give – it’s for the Precious Snowflakes

Pity our precious snowflakes at our institutes of higher learning for they will inherit misery the rest of their days.  They’ll look back at their college decade years and realize what favors their radical professors and activist friends have done for them in never being able to face the reality outside of their bubbles. (H/T: … Read more

Notable Quote – Prof William Allen

A free society, by its nature, is bound together and operates through devices and channels of individual aspirations and anticipations. It relies not on authoritarian decrees enforced with the thumb screw, but on induced coordination of largely autonomous people who, in pursuing their personal ends, contribute to the well-being of the community. -Prof  William Allen … Read more

NH based AP Reporter can’t help herself on gun control

“Gun rights

Repealing the licensing requirement to carry a concealed gun has a strong change of passing the Legislature. Unlike Hassan, Sununu is likely to sign it.

New Hampshire has some of the nation’s weakest gun laws. It also sees less gun crime than most other states.”

That would be Kathleen Ronayne in a piece in the Concord Monitor, Right to work, education reform top GOP priorities in N.H., listing some topics on which the upcoming legislature will be concentrating.  In that one line, she brings up the cognitive dissonance that most Progressives (including Ronayne) see here in NH – “It also sees less gun crime than most other states.” Sacre bleu – how can this be?  How can individuals behave properly WITHOUT the steady Hand of government at the helm of everyone’s lives?

That should have been written as:

Trump Transition goes after Dept. Of Energy – what do you do? DOE: screw you to their new bosses

I first saw the questionaire that the Trump Transition over at WWUT (Watts Up With That?) – somebody did their homework very, VERY well.  From my standpoint, it is WELL overdue to start asking serious and very pointed questions of the Federal bureaucracy about what they do, why they do it, how much it is costing and most important: Where does your authority to do “stuff” and spending OUR money while doing it, issuing legislative rules how we are to live and most important:

From where comes the authority to do these things?  Name the statute(s)!
