Trump intends to nominate three conservatives for vacancies on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (in California). This will support a long-held goal of re-balancing the appeals court, The 9th Circuit, based in San Francisco, has frustrated Trump by acting as a foil to some of his most controversial policies, including ruling against the travel ban and an effort to cut off federal funding for so-called sanctuary cities.
The forthcoming nominations sparked a fierce backlash from Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, and Harris (D-Calif.), a 2020 presidential contender and a member of the panel. They both whine that Trump didn’t consult with them before announcing the picks.
“I repeatedly told* the White House I wanted to reach an agreement on a package of 9th Circuit nominees,” Feinstein said in a statement. “The White House moved forward without consulting me, picking controversial candidates
* “Told”? is she out of her ever lovin mind?
These folk are looking at the prospects of winning either one, or both, of these lotteries all wrong. The odds are 50/50; I either win or I don’t!
Correction Reads: Due to a math error, a story about Elizabeth Warren misstated the ancestry percentage of a potential 6th to 10th generation relative. The generational range based on the ancestor that the report identified suggests she’s between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American
In other words, as Breitbart’s Joel Pollak summarizes, this “falls within Warren’s reported range, and suggests she may be no more Native American than the average white American. Full Story at Breitbart
The DNA test also offers no proof that Warren is in any part Cherokee.
As disruptive as these lunatics are, you have to admit the **it show they put on is as entertaining as it gets. Can you imagine how dull and bland the world would be if they were not here to entertain?
An excellent read on plantation live and liberal control is posted at the American Spectator. In part it reads:
The media’s meltdown over Kanye’s trip to the Oval Office reflects nothing more than its horrified realization that Trump is eating the left’s lunch, poaching more and more voters from once-monopolized lib constituencies. Apparently Kanye West is supposed to check with the central office of the Left’s Ministry of Truth before opening his mouth. Anything less is “surreal,” according to the media. What a bunch of totalitarian creeps.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory has gone into safe mode and halted all its science operations a few days after Hubble shut down. According to NASA, Chandra’s transition into safe mode was possibly triggered by an issue that has something to do with its gyroscope, the component in charge of pointing and stabilizing the telescope.
The Guess Who had it right when it comes to this ‘piece of work’.
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don’t come hanging around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
This woman could not do enough damage to this country when she was a Senator or Secretary of State. Now she has to sow the seeds of division as a washed up and failed politician. Can you imagine the damage this scum would have done as President?

Bishop: White women kneeling during the anthem to protest ‘rape culture’ is hijacking a movement you took no risks for. You didn’t kneel in solidarity to protest the murder of Black people, don’t co opt & make it about your victimization. That’s white supremacy in the name of feminism.”
Feminist: “D***, this is harsh. I understand the point you’re making however, women are victims are same systems that hurt the black communities as well. So unless your going around asking each individual why they are kneeling? You’re making assumptions. I kneel for injustice for all.”
Bishop Here’s a hard dose of reality, white women are part of the system that oppresses black people. They willingly and happily play their role in that system. It’s not the same. Never has been. Never will be.
Feminist: Honestly bishop, u can f*** off…why because I don’t allow ANY man to disrespect me…PS. Black men had the right to vote in this country BEFORE any women…so yeah we didn’t have a lot of pull for quite a few years politically. .
Bishop: You CANNOT “kneel for injustice for all” bc kneeling has been a BLM protest from jump.
“The fact that someone says something doesn’t mean it’s true. Doesn’t mean they’re lying, but it doesn’t mean it’s true.
All of us cherish our beliefs. They are, to a degree, self-defining. When someone comes along who challenges our belief system as insufficiently well-based – or who, like Socrates, merely asks embarrassing questions that we haven’t thought of, or demonstrates that we’ve swept key underlying assumptions under the rug – it becomes much more than a search for knowledge. It feels like a personal assault.
In his celebrated book, ‘On Liberty’, the English philosopher John Stuart Mill argued that silencing an opinion is “a peculiar evil.” If the opinion is right, we are robbed of the “opportunity of exchanging error for truth”; and if it’s wrong, we are deprived of a deeper understanding of the truth in its “collision with error.” If we know only our own side of the argument, we hardly know even that: it becomes stale, soon learned by rote, untested, a pallid and lifeless truth.
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what’s true.
It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas. If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones.”

Diogenes Sarcastica (Diogenes Middle Finger) has an excellent article on the Left’s application of mob violence and CNN’s efforts to run blocks on those who call it out. This good read here.
I’ve blocked out the offensive word in the child’s placard. How a parent could do this to their young child escapes me. As Wire-cutter might suggest: “straight up white trash’.
“Though defensive violence will always be ‘a sad necessity’ in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.”

“To my mind it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble is the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic.”

HT Daily Gator:
Milano believes men must pay for past transgressions, whether or not those transgressions happened. To Milano, the proper way to correct past discrimination is not to do all we can to eliminate discrimination, but to punish different groups. She does not mind discrimination, as long as it pleases her.
“You have no souls to be influenced. You are spineless, flaccid things. You pompously call yourselves Republicans and Democrats. There are no Republicans nor Democrats in this House. You are lick-spittles and panderers, the creatures of the Plutocracy.”

When this is the level of ignorance and ineptitude it makes no sense to try and have an intelligent conversation.
