Now, Indiana.
The Delaware County Republican Party said vandals struck at their office last week.
Someone threw two landscaping bricks through a window on Oct 8. Signs for Donald Trump and Todd Young were hanging on the window at the time, according to the group’s Facebook page.
Is there any doubt about how the Left deals with those who disagree with them? Sure, local North Carolina Democrats helped pay for repairs to that damage, but they’re not in government. Not yet. Indiana?
The media has it.
And its arrogance is wrong.
According to CNN’s Chris Cuomo, possessing the stolen John Podesta emails is a crime — unless you’re a member of the media.
“Remember, it’s illegal to possess these stolen documents,” Mr Cuomo said on air. “It’s different for the media, so everything you learn about this, you’re learning from us.”
Because we’re the Cool Kids.
It’s hard to believe that these folks, for whom words are their stock in trade, and for whom the 1st Amendment is central to their trade, don’t know this. What does that say about media integrity?
Some folks sued RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co over its hiring policy that
allegedly gave preference to applicants with two to three years of job experience out of college and disfavored those with closer to a decade in the workforce. The company’s guidelines provided to its hiring contractor, according to the ruling, said the greener group of workers “adjusts easily to changes.”
The suit centered on the premise that this policy had a disparate impact on older workers. In the words of Lee Parks, an employment and civil rights lawyer with Parks, Chesin & Walbert, the policy means that
Those over 40 need not apply[.]
Judge William Pryor, writing for the majority at the 11th Circuit, which heard an appeal from the trial court’s ruling, wrote Indeed. Disparate impact questions only apply to job holders, not those who’d merely like to hold a job.
Apparently disparate impact as justification for “corrective” action or as a cudgel is good only for some groups of Americans, but those who aren’t currently the favored ones don’t get its use.
This is one more reason to do away with disparate impact as an excuse for anything at all.
Again. Still.
A Black-owned bakery, Fat Cupcake, baked up a batch of cupcakes to honor our President, an American who happens to be black; they titled the cupcakes “Mr President.” Fat Cupcake described their confection on their menu as an
Oreo (™) Cookie baked inside white cake, cookies n’ cream buttercream.
It didn’t take long for the Left to start manufacturing a racist beef where none exists, thereby displaying their own racism. Via Yelp, for instance:
Very troubling. They were serving a cupcake called the “Mr President” that had an Oreo cookie inside. When I tried to point out the racism implied, they claimed that “our current president loves Oreos.”
Never mind that President Barack Obama (D) is well-known for loving Oreos; there’s no “claim” there.
This isn’t just an isolated anecdote, either.
Since opening in Southeast Portland, [Fat Cupcake owner Anjelica] Hayes said she’s had to field questions about whether her cupcakes are racist.
I’m surprised someone isn’t whining about the sexist nature of the establishment’s name.
This is what the Democratic Party and its Progressive center think of our government and of us plebeian citizens [emphasis added].
Dear John:
Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money isn’t all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we’re off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his “George” magazine saw celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I’m certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I’ve mentioned, we’ve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking – and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.
