Tucker Carlson Not Surrendering: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/tucker-carlson-not-surrendering-liberal-hypocrites/ His point — and it’s a good one — is that the Left is totally gaslighting us on the “Great Replacement” thing. If you believe that whites are being displaced politically by immigration and the growth of non-white communities, and that it’s a good thing, you’re fine to say so. But if you believe that and you think it’s bad — well, you are a white supremacist who encourages loonies to commit mass murder. Carlson brought up this 2013 story from Politico, which is as mainstream Washington political reporting as it gets. Here is a screenshot of the headline: From the piece: Again, if you notice this from a progressive or neutral point of view, it’s fine. But if you notice this as a conservative, and you say you don’t like it, you are a RACIST. Check out the headline on this Michelle Goldberg column in The New York Times: It more or less concedes the white nationalists’ point, and says too bad for them. Excerpts: More: You can’t have it both ways, liberal media. I mean, you can, because you usually do, but finally at least some conservatives are not intimidated by your hypocrisy. Take a listen (or a look at the transcript) of how NPR yesterday tried to blame these murders on Tucker Carlson and Fox News. Excerpts: Yeah, so Tucker Carlson isn’t anywhere in the 180-page manifesto the alleged killer left explaining why he did what he did … but it’s Tucker’s fault anyway, according to David Folkenflik. More: I remember when that Helms ad was controversial, and I understand why it was controversial. But here’s the thing: that’s what affirmative action and quota hiring do! This is the most amazing thing about the liberal/progressive mind: they celebrate things that actively stigmatize and discriminate against people on the basis of race, sex, and sexual orientation … but if you are one of those stigmatized and discriminated against, and you don’t agree that you deserve it, then you are a bigot for saying so! Notice that what Donald Trump said in the quoted piece above is pretty much what Politico said in 2013, and what a panoply of liberal politicians, academics, and pundits have been saying for years. But when Trump says it, well, shut the front door, that’s RACIST! About the Covid comments from Trump, here’s an MSN report from when he first said it, and the context in which he said it: Did Trump “exaggerate”? Maybe. But note this Jan. 7 Wall Street Journal op-ed from left-wing academics John Judis and Ruy Teixeira, criticizing the very New York state policy that Trump criticized. Excerpts: Judis and Teixeira cite data pointing out that disparities are more due to class than race. More: So Trump might have exaggerated, but his basic claim was true — and here you have two prominent left-wing commentators warning the Left not to go down this route, because it helps Trump. Back to the NPR story. Here is Folkenflik griping that Fox won’t fire Tucker Carlson: This is how they roll, the Left. They want to fire people who say things they don’t like. They want Tucker Carlson cancelled because he notices the same things they all notice, but he thinks it’s bad, not good — and says so. This leftist crybullying increasingly doesn’t work anymore. At last! I urge the usual left-wing commentators to watch the 15-minute Carlson monologue before phoning in your usual complaints.

Please elaborate.

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/lawyers-cause-homelessness/ Agreed. It doesn't do anything to promote the common good.

Good for Nevada. Do you think every state in the union should have the exact same law?

I find it quite enjoyable.

But don't we have a "state-by-state patchwork of laws" regarding a whole host of other issue right now? And sure, it may be a sh*t show, but it was how our founding fathers intended it to be. A relatively weak federal government where the real legislation that affect citizens the most happens at the state/local level.

Lookin forward to the CCAC. Clinton County Athletic Conference.

It is what this forum is all about. If you and other don't like hearing other people's opinions just leave. tl;dr on the woke rant.

This Is the School Choice Moment. Will the GOP Screw It Up? https://reason.com/2022/05/17/this-is-the-school-choice-moment-will-the-gop-screw-it-up/

I've been predicting this for years. As these three communities get pulled more and more into the Indianapolis-area urban sprawl they are no longer going be interested in completing against rural schools like South Montgomery or rust belt towns like Frankfort.

Which is why they need FBI or CIA informants to do it for them........................

https://www.cato.org/blog/rock-bye-trade-restrictions-baby-formula Agreed. Onerous government regulations created this shortage.

#11. Frankfort. The Hot Dogs need to either a: switch conference affiliations with West Lafayette (a Sagamore conference with the River Rats, Bruins, and Warriors battling it out year after year would be interesting) or b) petition to join the Hoosier Heartland Conference.

https://mises.org/library/taxation-robbery A somewhat long read. But very much worth it. Taxation is theft.

Don't Trust Biden's Dystopian 'Disinformation Board' https://reason.com/2022/05/13/dont-trust-bidens-dystopian-disinformation-board/ This is very frightening news.

Facing Education Crisis, Biden Admin Seeks to Restrict Charter Schools This is what public policy looks like when a major political party plays kissy-face with public sector unions. https://reason.com/2022/05/12/facing-education-crisis-biden-admin-seeks-to-restrict-charter-schools/ Indeed they are putting students last.

It's an old forum post from here: https://umpire-empire.com/topic/58108-present-the-ball/

Maybe this?: "Meaning he had the ball in this throwing hand when engaged with the rubber to present the ball to the batter and runner."

More Warmongering From The Swamp: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/ukraine-russia-mitch-mcconnell-warmongering-swamp/ Forty billion dollars. More Robin Wright: How many Americans understand that we really are at risk of getting into a direct war with Russia? That our elected leaders in Washington are voting for this. We aren’t even hiding the fact now that Washington regards this as a proxy war with Moscow. Do you know that this is happening? In Europe, Hungary’s Viktor Orban is once again being portrayed as History’s Greatest Monster because his government is holding up European Union sanctions banning Russian oil and gas. Why? Because those sanctions would destroy the Hungarian economy. Hungary gets 85% of its natural gas and 60% of its oil from Russia. And it is landlocked, meaning it could not receive shipments of oil and gas via tanker. I agree that Putin is a bad man who should not have invaded Ukraine. But ask yourself: why is it in America’s interest to go deeper and deeper into the hole, committing itself to a shooting war with Russia, over Ukraine? Why is it in the EU’s interest to destroy its own member nations’ economies to cut off Russian oil and gas? Who is any of this benefiting? UPDATE:More power to Damon Linker, who writes: Read it all.I don’t believe we should be fighting a proxy war with Russia, but if we are, then we damn sure ought not to have our officials bragging about it! UPDATE.2: People can’t buy baby formula in this country, but Democrats and Republicans in Washington and sending $40 billion to Ukraine.

https://reason.com/2022/05/11/kids-playing-at-recess-security-school-safety/ Very, very sad.

What a bunch of garbage. MMT is the devil.

Nice attempt at dodging the question. Not everyone choose to live in a walled compound like you apparently do.

Tough to prove a negative. No Dante, the burden of proof in this case is on you. After, all you are the one with the initial questioning accusation, not I. I answered in the negative. Now it is your turn to prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that I have once, just once, physically assaulted my spouse. Ball's in your court, Dante. Money says you take it and slink back into the weeds. Again.

You are right on one commonality, Dante. They were both mobs. Would a mob of angry right-wingers standing on the street and sidewalk outside your home chanting foul epithets and holding hateful signs aimed at you and your family frighten you Dante?
