“It was unclear whether the case would result in a mistrial or if jurors would be able to consider the second charge against Daniel Penny in the...”

The NYT seems undecided.  Is this because of the tarnished prosecutorial reputation in New York?  Or is it because Democrats have not yet been forced to give up the reigns of power?  Or does the unbiased liberal press need to prepare the public before endorsing four more years of peaceful...

“The New York Times' Astead Herndon reflects on the president's fateful decision to run for reelection—only to pass the baton to Kamala Harris in...”

Joe Biden remains the President.  Speaking about Biden in past tense might soothe the zeitgeist of blue bubble dwellers.  But the intellectually contrived alternate potentiality collapses when confronted with the hard sharpness of actuality.  The blue bubble bursts. Speaking in past tense of the...

“"Hundreds of Beavers" has accrued the stuff of, if not quite myth, then certainly lo-fi legend”

Apparently this indie film is a Thang at the moment.  Sounds like a real world Horatio Alger story.  (Who?) The previews are entertaining so this one might be worth a watch.  Here's a link to the official website: Hundreds of Beaves Official Web Site

Identity politics failed the left

“The left-wing narrative is dominated by privileged people who tend to live in beautiful gated communities.”

When real socialists turn their backs on the Democratic Party then the doo-doo has gotten really deep.  If anyone bothers to wade through the stilted, passive aggressive elitist language popular with the enlightened left, Democrats are being blamed for engaging in racial/cultural identity...

H-2A visa myths debunked

“The H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers program - commonly known as H-2A - is the leading source of temporary and seasonal farmworkers in the...”

There really are legal differences between transient workers, immigrants, and foreign criminals.  The liberal left has been yodeling over immigration in order to deliberately misinform the public and confuse the issue.   Why have we seen hair-on-fire warbling over food rotting in the fields and...

“President Trump unveils 25% tariffs on $34bn worth of Chinese goods, accusing Beijing of intellectual copyright theft.”

The year was 2018; six years ago.  Liberal institutions around the world were fearmongering about a trade war.  Did anyone notice?

“Trump's vow to round up millions of immigrants and deport them in the largest deportation effort in U.S. history has industry groups that rely on...”

So, why have food prices been increasing at an ungodly rate?  Why has housing become less affordable and harder to find? The Biden administration allowed millions of illegal immigrants to remain in the United State.  Illegal immigration has captured attention in the news cycle since Joe Biden's...

How Democrats Lost Their Base and Their Message

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  8 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  2 months ago

“Donald Trump’s populist pitch bumped Democrats off their traditional place in American politics.”

As usual, the New York Times presents itself as being above it all.  Undeniably elitist and sublimely clueless. The Times dissection of the Democratic Party ignores the elephant sitting in the corner.  Donald Trump has transformed the Republican Party into the party of change.  What are...

The Resistance goes quiet

“Protests are unlikely to unseat Trump, but they could build momentum around "a specific policy outcome"”

The so called 'Resistance' even has a plausible psycho-babble excuse to hide its loss of coercive influence and growing irrelevance.  Donald Trump has been elected to act as the agent of disruptive change in society.  Trump has beaten the Resistance at their own game. A resistance group only...

Just how big was Donald Trump's election victory?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  7 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  2 months ago

“The US president-elect has emphasised the scale of his win - but data shows that most voters picked someone else.”

Democrats invested in 3 weeks of voting, 2.5 weeks of vote counting, and over a billion dollars to achieve this result:  Donald Trump only received a plurality of votes and not a majority - by a fraction of a percentage point.  Democrats got their sought after headline in a news cycle dominated...
