Meanwhile, Inside Plato’s Cave

If  Leftists are outraged about Russians interfering with our elections why are they not more outraged about them infiltrating the basic institutions of democracy – education, religion, law, culture, media – in order to foment unrest and destroy this country from within?

#FLOTUSFriday - Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee Edition

She is the butterfly

…to his bee:

Donald Trump said Theresa May's new soft Brexit blueprint would 'kill' any future trade deal with the United States. His comments, deeply damaging to the PM, come as he delivers his most brutally honest verdict yet on Britain in which he also:

Mr. Trump’s remarks come as he prepares to meet the PM for a working lunch at Chequers. - The Sun

Packs a pretty powerful knockout. But if you wish to discuss Strzok on Stupid, feel free.

From Now On At Least Bring a Passing Dish

Leftists of the world, are you paying attention? You’ve just been Trumped.

Up till now every time NATO threw a party the US was asked to bring the Porterhouse steaks, tenderloins, baked potatoes, baked beans and adult beverages while Belgium contributed chocolates, France, cheese and Britain, tea. Yesterday our VSGPDT filed his second formal complaint to the laggards, letting them know that if they expected the US to keep attending these annual picnics they would have to start bringing more to the table.

And quelle surprise! In an emergency meeting held early this morning the 29 other NATO countries managed to cough up an additional $33-40 billion commitment. Funding at what President Trump said was “at levels nobody has ever seen before.”

Very Special Genius President Donald J. Trump: this is what leadership looks like.

trump i'm talking to you“Yeah, I’m talking to you.”

From now on the least you can do is bring a passing dish.

TWIN SONS FROM DIFFERENT MOTHERLANDS

Boris Johnson resigned from Theresa May’s cabinet because she is negotiating Brexit with a pen in one hand and a white flag in the other.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and David Davis, the minister in charge of Britain’s negotiations to leave the EU—quit in protest, saying the plan would leave the U.K. too closely bound to EU laws. – WSJ

Boris is likely to challenge Theresa for his party’s leadership and ultimately run for Prime Minister. He reminds me a lot of someone; now let me see…who is it?

In the US people voted for The Wall, in Britain they voted for Brexit. I don’t know how to explain it.  Maybe it’s…The Power of Gold

Live By the Sword, Die By the Sword

Glenn Reynolds has an ongoing gag line: The left is really going to hate living under the new rules they’ve created.”

In this case it’s their in-kind special interest group replacement policy: a woman is to be replace with a woman, a black man with another black man, etc.. Otherwise you’re losing the increasingly tortuous game of affirmative action.

So if you don’t like the newly named Supreme Court nominee – and I note that loud portions of the Left have already assembled with their unhinged flock to scream at the waning moon with pre-printed signs opposing Justice Kavanaugh’s appointment -

10-kavanaugh-protest.w710.h473.2x

don’t blame President Trump; he isn’t the one who wrote the Liberals Little Guide to Entitlements Handbook.  Someone else did that. So if an Irishman vacates a seat, he must be replaced by another Irishman. Farewell Justice Kennedy, hello Justice Kavanaugh.

Don’t cry, boys – they’re your rules.

Side note: only in Hollywood could you get away with having two wops playing a couple of Mick mobsters. Hollywood: home of the enduring values of abortion, gay marriage, and deep seated hatred for conservatives.

The angry mobsters are not going to be happy.

What To Do While Waiting For Doomsday

Leftist First World problems: How to stay calm today when President Trump isn’t going to name his Supreme Court nominee until 9:00 pm?

Suggestion #1: Slice soap

#SoapCutting has more than 70,000 posts on Instagram alone. Most posts were of videos showcasing a single bar of soap being sliced up. ABC News

Soap slicing? Really? And Democrats are still worried about VSGPDJT’s jobs creating economic program being “reckless and irresponsible?” Hmmph.

Suggestion #2: Sand Pounding:

Equally unproductive but will keep them unemployed and out of trouble while waiting for their heads to explode.

Come. Sit.

So quickly comes tomorrow
I pray for your presence
A moment I might borrow.

Making America Work Again

What normally would be considered good news has instead become the Progressive Democratic Socialists of America Apocalyptic News of the Week: June Jobs Numbers Beat Expectations with 213,000 New Payroll Jobs. WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

First, from Nancy Pelosi:

pelosi

Of course San Fran Nan is an avid adherent of the innovative economic theory of the Amazing Money Velocity of the Unemployment Dollar:

“For every dollar spent on unemployment benefits, the economy grows by, according to one estimate, $1.52; by others, $2. So somewhere in that range, but much more than is spent on it." - Pelosi, December, 2013

So you couldn’t expect her to appreciate people becoming economically self-reliant the old fashioned way. And Democratic Party Chair Tom Perez couldn’t wait to double down on Nancy’s stupid:

“With slow wage growth, rising health care premiums, and skyrocketing gas prices across the country, Donald Trump’s reckless policies are hurting millions of hardworking families…“Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to build a winner-take-all economy that enriches their wealthy friends and saddles working families with the bill. Democrats want to create good-paying jobs and build an economy that works for everyone.

I’m so old I remember when rising health care premiums and skyrocketing gas prices were considered a good thing by the Democrats.

obama signature“I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message.”

Nan and Tom, lacking even a basic understanding of how such basic economic principles such as supply and demand work, can’t be blamed for not realizing that higher demand for labor might result in higher and faster growing wages. However, if we keep our porous borders open to welcome illegal immigrants who will work for the wages Americans won’t, that will not happen – so let’s do that!

Of course if we build a wall and shut down that flow we would even entice some of the millions of working age people currently sitting on their butts (mostly men – am I allowed to note that?) back into the work force.

Labor Participation Rate, 25 –54 Yrsmen women labor participation ratesStrangely, even the labor participation rate is ticking up since Donald Trump started Making America Great Again.

Although I suspect that would be a bad thing too, given it’s Trump; and given the velocity of the welfare dollar and all.
