SHOT: uber-Progressive Keith Ellison, Democrat Congressman (D-MN) and DNC Deputy Chair endorses Antifa

Antifa is a far-left group that uses violence to achieve progressive political ends, including starting riots and fires at the University of California, Berkeley. While the group claims to be anti-Fascist, they routinely shut down the speech of people they disagree with. Antifa clashed with far-right protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year…According to Bray, it is acceptable to use violence against “fascism” because what he considers to be fascist ideas — like those shared by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopolous — aren’t worthy of debate.

Yep, still unwinding the stack and will be for quite some time.  Couldn’t let this one go by without a quick thought and glad to see that Chris Sununu put a stake into this gawd-awful idea that Republican (you know, the Party of LESSER and cheaper government??) Executive Councilor Russell Prescott wanted to raise the tolls simply to speed up already planned highway fixes (if you’d stop raiding the Highway fund* you’da been there by now):

Gov. Sununu says he won’t allow highway toll increase

This has been sitting in my stack of stuff since mid-December, so it’s time to FIFO the stack. Our Democrat Congressional Coven just can’t seem to let go of the idea that Government has to do everything for everybody at every time.  Especially troubling to them is if Government ratchets up the regulatory environment, it can NEVER EVER be loosened.

Like with Net Neutrality.

Back from Dec 19th (updated based on the passage of the Federal Tax Reform bill): We no sooner get the Obamacare Individual Mandate jackboot off of our healthcare necks via the Tax Reform Act than this Republican Senate Jackal, US Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), would be HAPPY to see the States turn around and put in their own Individual Mandates.

What the h*ll is he thinking, given that they promised to get rid of Obamacare.

I am by NO means a gun expert but this headline at Fox was guffaw bait:

Man found with small arsenal on Houston Hyatt Regency’s top floor before New Year’s Eve celebration, police say.

Don’t worry, Fox, other media outlets had similar headlines but being more of a conservative outlet, you had NO one there to double check the copy first (that is, if he or she could stop laughing first)?  You know – facts?  Correct description?  Then I saw what constituted a “small arsenal”:

Heh!

Do you notice the irony of a giant tax cut motivating big companies to institute a $15/hour minimum wage for their workers? Could we at least get an “Amen!” from the Fight for 15 people?

Remember a while ago that agitators from various unions, especially the SEIU, were flogging and picketing fast food chains like McDonalds, Wendy’s, and Burger King, especially in bigger cities?  They wanted the employees to step out of their stores and demand far more than what they were worth at the time.  Led by union organizers from the SEUI (who could have cared less about their future members – they spent millions in trying to acquire millions of new dues paying members), they made it a national news story.  While the cameras were out front, the unions were getting their faces into their Democrat elected officials to get their economic demands codified into law – notably in California and New York (who knew?) with the expected results now that the minimum wages are skyrocketing. So I have to laugh – Trump has screwed them all over.  Instead of

That would be the Democrats and are well known as the Party of Government.  Why not? It seems that most of the employees are tilted towards one Party and it aint the Republicans.  Like this department:

VIRTUALLY EVERY DAY OF 2016, SOMEBODY IN DOJ DC WAS GIVING MONEY TO HILLARY: More than 2,600 individual donations were to the Clinton campaign by donors who listed the Department of Justice or one of its elements, like the FBI, as their employers. Their contributions totaled more than $416,000. Trump got a little more than $20,000 from a mere 61 such employees.

Only 268 of them lived in the Washington, D.C. but their combined total of more than $242,000 was half of all the DOJ/FBI donors to Clinton. That’s a drop in the bucket of $1.2 billion that Clinton spent in losing to Donald Trump but the huge gulf between DOJ backers of Clinton and Trump sheds additional light on why congressional Republicans are raising a growing stink about partisan bias in DOJ and the FBI.

I guess they did put their money where their mouths were –

After all, at every turn our all Democrat Congressional delegation (e.g., Jeanne “Obamacare” Shaheen, Maggie “The Red” Hassan, Annie “I’m the most Progressive” Kuster, and Carol SEIU-Porter) denounced Republiacn Judge Ray Moore who was running to fill former US Senator and now US Attorney General Jeff Session’s Senate seat from Alabama on the basis of the allegations of sexual harassment.  Frankly, I’m betting that it was mostly because he said he’d really support Trump’s agenda and would be a reliable vote.  But now, we may really find out if the sexual harassment part was primary because now one of their own (a Democrat) is planning on running for Congress from Pennsylvania (emphasis mine):

A former Philadelphia judge named Willie Singletary has been in the public eye for quite a while and unfortunately for him, it’s not all been good. First, he was forced to resign after it was discovered that he sexually harassed a city cashier and sent her pictures of his genitals. He was suspected, and forced to resign after an investigation revealed some unsavory details.
