Hypocrisy

Recall Samantha Bee‘s slurs against Presidential advisor and First Daughter Ivanka Trump:

You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless c—!

That’s not all.  She also showed her disdain for men—any men:

Many men were also offended by my use of the word—I do not care about that.

Then she complained about the blowback, and “resigned” herself to it.

I do think that being a part of the outrage machine is an inevitability now. That’s a reality everyone has to grapple with—not just me. The level of ferocity is something I hadn’t quite experienced up to that point….

This, of course, is nonsense.  Bee, and her fellows on the Left, are the ones inflicting the ferocity and actively boosting its level.  She, and her fellows on the Left, know this full well.

The Lady Refuses to Appear

Ex-FBI attorney and paramour of ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok Lisa Page has chosen to disobey a Congressional subpoena to appear before the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform Committees to give testimony.

This, of course, is unacceptable in a nation ruled by law.  The House, as the Senate precedent set under Jurney v MacCracken makes plain the House can do, should find this woman in contempt, have the House Sergeant at Arms arrest her and bring her before the Congress, there to try her on the contempt charge, and if convicted jail her until she clears the contempt failure by testifying before both of the Committees to the Committees’ satisfaction.

But as we’ve seen on other recent cases involving FBI and DoJ refusal to answer subpoenas for documentation, it’s unlikely this Congress has the moral—or any other—courage to do anything other than yap about the refusal.

Hysteria

Is the Left, in its hysteria, turning more violent?  And I don’t mean just Antifa or BLM.  Or last year’s attempt by a Leftist kook to murder Republican Congressmen.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was threatened by a group of “protestors” as he left a restaurant last Saturday.  One of them shouted

We know where you live, Mitch. We know where you live.

As McConnell left in his car, another of the “protestors” was self-congratulatory:

We did good, fellow citizens.

It’s not just kooks, anymore; these threats of violence and the potential for violence, is going mainstream, as Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D, CA) actively eggs them on, and “mainstream” Progressive-Democrats remain silent beyond a few vapid words on the Senate floor.

This is the level of freedom toward which we can look, if we’re not careful this fall.

Disturbing Video

This one from a wedding celebration.  It seems the newly-wedded couple were sitting at a picnic table under a tree, when a tree branch, with a loud crack announcing its move, began to fall.

The two look up, lean away, and then rapidly depart the table just ahead of the branch’s impact.  That’s pretty cool, right?  Close, but successful escape.

But what did the man do?  With not a move to help his lady, or even a glance to see if she was promptly following, he just booked.  Saved himself without a moment’s hesitation to see to his bride.  Don’t look back, something might be falling on you.

Not very Gentlemanly.  Not at all.

The lady seems to love the man, anyway, and hasn’t a thought for his rapid departure.

Non-Merit Discrimination in College Admissions

The non-merit discriminants that colleges and universities use—Harvard comes to mind—center on race, ethnicity, and gender.  The Trump administration has moved to reduce that reliance on bigotry for admissions (ironic word, that), and the Left is crying race.

Anurima Bargava, ex-President Barack Obama’s DoJ head of “civil rights enforcement” (an ironic title), insists that the rollback of regulations authorizing racism and sexism in determining who will be admitted—and who will be barred from admission—is

a purely political attack that benefits nobody.

The rollback benefits those being discriminated against without harming anyone else. But the Obama administration’s politics of divisiveness and…identity…considered those people to be nobodies; that’s why the policy discriminated.

The bigotry lives loudly within the Left, to paraphrase a Progressive-Democrat Senator from California.
