…because Lieawatha’s plan for capitalism is fascism, straight up.

First-Amendment Theater
Some thoughts from what seems to be a rare bird these days: An actual news organization.
I have to say that teaming up to prove that the media isn't colluding against Trump is the most hilarious example of their lack of self awareness to date.
And you want more Trump? This is how you get more Trump. His genius is to get them to reveal themselves. https://t.co/1P6jAYg1ux

Jordan Peterson And The Left
They hate him because he’s figured out how to route around their corruption and opposition to western civilization.
John Cox
Can he beat Gavin Newsom in California for governor?
I sure hope so. We are in weird political times, but it will take a smart campaign. Given that stupid jungle-primary rule, Republicans have to be happy they even have a candidate in the race. They don’t in the Senate.
Trump And The N Word
Jonathan Last writes that we should hope that there is no tape. Unfortunately, I certainly wouldn’t bet on it.
Antifa
Is it the future of the Democrats?
I hope so, because if so, it means, finally, the death of this old horrific, racist, and now totalitarian political party.
Penn Jillette
An interesting candid interview, with bonus knowledgable commentary on the crudeness of Trump.
[Update late afternoon]
Sorry about originally misspelling his name “Gillette.” Guess it’s because I’ve always thought he was a pretty sharp guy.
Richard Spencer
The Great White Culture War
An important piece from David French.
On a related note, it occurs to me that one could probably find things that Hitler said about the Jews that are analogous to things that the current leftist fascists say about whites (and Jews).
Chicago’s Crime
It’s time to hold Democrats responsible. But the media won’t.
And as Glenn says, if Trump were to use the Insurrection Act to do something about it with federal troops, the media would call him a dictator.
I heard a Democrat give the standard line this morning that this is about lack of gun control, not in Chicago, but in the surrounding areas, and that (of course!) the only solution is nationwide gun control, to keep the guns out of Chicago. Unfortunately for this “argument,” we aren’t seeing these levels of violence in Gary, or Milwaukee, or even Detroit, which have just as much access to those same guns.
[Late-morning update]
As dozens are killed or wounded in Chicago, Illinois celebrates “Barack Obama Day.”
