Liberal self-parody: “I detest Trump, but a ‘redneck’ fixed my Prius with zip ties”

In the annals of unintentional liberal self-parody, there is a special place reserved for a column by Ruth Mayor, “I detest Trump, but a ‘redneck’ fixed my Prius with zip ties.”
What makes it so classic is that Mayor doesn’t intend it as self-parody. She clearly intends it to reflect a liberal’s...
Liberals react to Senate tax reform vote: America died in darkness (on live TV)

The Senate voted early this morning to pass a Tax Reform bill. That bill is not yet law, because differences with the Tax Reform bill passed by the House need to be worked out in conference.
Nonetheless, this procedural step forward was considered a big win for Trump and Republicans after Senate...
Did YOU know about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual harassment allegations? (Reader Poll)

Hollywood, the liberal media, and Democrats kept a dark, dirty secret for decades.
It is now acknowledged to have been common knowledge in those domains that numerous women over a long period of time complained about sexual harassment by movie industry mogul Harvey Weinstein. And there was substantial evidence to back up...
I’m so old, I remember when liberals compared Antifa to G.I.’s on D-Day

My my, how the political pendulum has swung about the little darlings known as Antifa.
Antifa, as we documented, are the continuation of a long line of Anarchist-Marxist street thugs originally known as Black Bloc, then Occupy, then in the age of the Resistance to Trump, were rebranded as “Anti-Fascist,” hence, Antifa....
Liberals Compare Boy Scouts to Hitler Youth, Still Can’t Understand Why They Lose Elections

Trump visited the Boy Scout Jamboree this week, much to the delight of the approximately 40,000 attendees who cheered loudly for him.
Some liberals rushed to compare the Boy Scouts to the Hitler Youth, further displaying their utter disconnect with average Americans, or as they would say, the “deplorables.”

If Supreme Court Vacancy Opens Up This Summer, Expect Liberal Freakout

The liberal freakout over the recent confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court was just a preview. If another vacancy opens up this summer, we’ll see the main attraction.
And just so you know, there is already talk of another vacancy.
Max Greenwood writes at The Hill:
Grassley: There will be a Supreme...
Liberals Have Returned to the Comfort of Conspiracy Theories

Within weeks of Trump winning the election last fall, liberals were already shrieking about how the election was stolen by Russia. It’s easier and more comforting to say it was stolen than to admit you lost for a reason.
The tendency to rely on conspiracy however, has become a weekly or sometimes...
Ayaan Hirsi Ali to Liberals: Terrorists “don’t say thank you for being PC”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali appeared on the Tucker Carlson show last night to discuss the terror attack in London. Tucker asked her to explain why the left is always making excuses for Islamic terror. Her response was fascinating.
From the FOX News Insider:
Hirsi Ali: Islamic Terrorists ‘Don’t Go to Liberals and Say Thank...
Here’s how liberal activists astroturfed town hall protests against Rep. Tom Reed (#NY23)

You probably have seen viral videos of the disruption of town halls held by Congressman Tom Reed.
The media narrative is that there was an organic, grassroots uprising by concerned citizens.
Don’t believe it. As detailed below, there was a well-organized national and local campaign to get activists to Reed’s town halls for...
Obama’s legacy: Liberal tilt of appeals courts

During recent decades, the left’s Gramscian march has allowed it to conquer several institutions: education, media, religion, and entertainment. But at the same time, it has become clearer lately that (except for the charismatic Obama) the left has been losing at the ballot box, both on the national and state...
Do liberals really apologize too much?

I always find it amusing when liberals accuse other liberals of being too soft, too apologetic, too willing to give in.
In contrast, liberals portray Republicans, and particularly the dreaded Tea Party, as tough as nails, unapologetic, and unyielding.
As they say in liberal land, that is not my “lived experience.”
And I...
Liberals desperately fight demoralization

The Women’s March on Washington, and in many other mostly liberal cities, is being portrayed as the launch of a new “resistance” to Donald Trump and Republicans.
The use of the term “resistance” is not by accident.
It conjures up the heroism and selflessness of the French Resistance and the Resistance movements in...
Woman Removed from Airplane for Harassing Trump Supporter

Trump supporter Scott Kotesky was on a flight from Baltimore to Seattle this weekend when the woman sitting next to him began bothering him when she determined that he supports the president.
The incident caught the attention of the airline crew which quickly took action and ultimately removed the woman from the...
Liberal nightmare: Trump could appoint half federal judiciary

Ballotpedia is one of our favorite reference websites. It is like Wikipedia for politics, but more in-depth and reliable.
Ballotpedia just released a statistical analysis of federal judicial vacancies as Trump enters office, and likely to become available during his term.
That takes on great importance given that Democrats in 2013 busted the filibuster...
The New Yorker’s view of the world, updated for Trump victory

The most famous The New Yorker magazine image ever clearly has to be a 1976 illustration by Saul Steinberg for the cover depicting the view from 9th Avenue (the West Side) of Manhattan.
The landscape of the rest of the country is shown as mere random places on a blank landscape between...
We have more purpose than ever

The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats starts with words (highlighted) I think of very often:
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best...
