The Money Quote:
It is important to note that the majority of blacks, Hispanics, feminists, and millennials are not anti-Semitic. The Democrats could theoretically call out and expel the haters, as Republicans do. In reality, they depend on lockstep voting blocs and can’t afford to lose a few percent. They rely on 90% of the black vote. They need the Somali vote to win Minnesota.

Suicide rates have been rising in the U.S. - by as much as 25% in the last couple of decades. The cause is a mystery, According to Live Science"
" Though the reasons for that increase are not completely clear, in past research, experts have pointed to an increased sense of isolation among Americans, as well economic factors and a rise in mental illness.
Other pointed to the rise of technology, which has replaced important face-to-face interactions (though some argue technology actually decreases loneliness.
But in the end, all of these explanations are speculative. more...

Baseball legend RedSchoendienst has died He was 95.
A WORD FROM TIM, a local St. Louisan:
Albert Fred "Red" Schoendienst was an icon here in St. Louis, and was the very definition of Cardinal excellence. He grew up in Germantown, Illinois, in one of the German settlements east of St. Louis. My grandmother knew him; she grew up in Trenton, a nearby community. Schoendienst's father was a coal miner and he grew up quite poor, without electricity or indoor plumbing.
Nonetheless, these little German communities were and still are wonderful places; science fiction writer Ray Bradbury often wrote about them, and they were as near to paradise as he could envision on this Earth. These were the "good" communities in southern Illinois, as opposed to the shanty-mill towns full of Appalachian hillbill8es or the crime riddled black communities infested by organized crime. There are places in the region where nothing grows because of the pollution. But when you get into these little German (or Italian) communities you find delightful places, clean, well kept, and very community oriented. Germantown is such a place.
Schoendienst was a natural at baseball, but he had a serious eye injury which hampered him, especially as a hitter. He learned to switch hit as a result. He was a great player, but an even better coach and manager, and was a fixture with the Redbirds for as long as I have been alive. It will be strange to not have him here.

I wish the President would read this.
From the article:
"He explained that "[W]e should not be fooled. The Kim family is as if Hitler had children—a three-generation Hitler dynasty—all ruling over my people for seven decades. They have killed millions of us [Koreans], starved us, broken up our families, forced millions to live in poverty or concentration camps, all the while building terrible weapons that can kill millions of people. Who else should I compare the Kim’s to?â€

Recently an archaeological team excavated a glass bust of a man in the ruins of the Biblical town of Abel Beth Maacah. Dating back to 900 to 800 B.C., the sculpture appears to be a king or some royal personage of note. Abel Beth Maacah was a crossroads city near the borders between the ancient Kingdom of Israel, the Kingdom of Tyre, and Damascus.
According to this WaPo story, the head may well have dated back to the reign of King Ahab and Jezebel, his immoral and corrupt wife.

From William Katz:
Ben Bradlee, the late, legendary editor of the Washington Post, said that journalism is history's rough first draft. The problem is, there is rarely a second draft.
There is new information out on the recent school shooting in Florida, and it is important. It reveals what many people could see as negligence on the part of school authorities. How often is this repeated throughout the United States? From the South Florida Sun Sentinel:
Two months before the massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School, a retired Secret Service agent warned administrators that the school could be vulnerable to a gunman.
Gates were unlocked. Students did not wear identification badges. A fire alarm could send students streaming into the halls. Active-shooter drills were inadequate, he said.
The retired agent, Steve Wexler, said he made his point by strolling through the school with Post-it notes, attaching them to places his bullets or knife would land if he were an intruder. No one stopped him, he said.
In an interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Wexler said he was invited to analyze the school’s security and presented his recommendations to four staff members.
"I said, ‘This stuff is blatantly obvious. You’ve got to fix this,’†Wexler said.
He never heard another word from the district, he said.

Daren Jonescu has a nice blogpost where he builds on my recent American Thinker article. After recapping my article Daren goes on to tell a transgender story:
"Speaking of gender identity, from Right Scoop comes the wonderful story of Terry Miller, who set high school records in the girls’ 100- and 200-meter sprints at Connecticut’s State Open track and field championships — because he is a boy.
Miller, a "transgender†athlete — that is, a boy who imagines he is a girl — was competing in the boys’ competition earlier this year, but not setting any records. I suppose if he/she decides to identify as an ant next year, he/she will be shattering records all over the place, and likely go into the Ant Pantheon as Athlete of All Time.
And just to round out this feel-good story, the runner up in the 100-meter race was also a boy. Congratulations to all — especially the parents who encouraged their sons to find the easiest way to glory, even if it meant making a mockery of their sport and demeaning the efforts of the girls who trained to compete in the — sorry to be so blunt — GIRLS’ competition."
End excerpt.
And he warns that Connecticut is going to allow boys to fight girls in the Golden Gloves. That ought to be a series of short contests. more...

I recently saw this article on Townhall.com that had some interesting information about female veterans' suicides. However, the author, Brianna Heldt, shows some significant "shade" (negative attitude) towards men in the third sentence of her piece. I did, however, pass this along to the woman who is the co-founder of the veterans charity Backpacks For Life, because the article had some good factual content. BackpacksforLife.org helps both male and female homeless veterans.
The author below, Brianna Heldt, says in the third sentence that male veterans "are ONLY 18 times more likely to kill themselves than their male civilian counterparts." It is one of the stupidest and most insensitive lines I've ever read in an article at a major website concerning ANY veterans' issues. Both the female and male veteran suicide rates must be addressed and brought down because both rates are a significant national problem. But her dismissing male veterans suicide rates as trivial compared to women's rates is appallingly callous. I can only characterize Bianna Heldt as a Female Chauvanist Sow with major not-so-hidden personal animosity towards the military. more...

Not that we all haven't seen and heard profanity, but, because the video addresses the current Democrat Party, profanity was unavoidable. The video is about someone who's decided, like Doug Schoen, that the Democrat Party of today is no longer palatable, and that it's become frightening. I, personally, have been thinking more and more that the extreme left has taken over the Democrat Party and that the inevitable outcome has to be a fracture from which they may not recover for a long time to come. This gentleman puts it as plainly as it could be put.

My reaction to this was in the form of a question: What is your proposed alternative?
He does have a Facebook page called "WalkAway Campaign," that I have yet to visit, but he openly invites conservatives to join him. In fact, here's his statement:
"If you are a lifelong conservative or non-Democrat, please share your story, message, or thoughts on what it truly means to be a conservative. Right now, the liberal media continues to perpetuate a false narrative about the "hateful†and "bigoted†right. Use your voice to let people know who conservatives really are. Be sure to use the hashtag #WalkAway." more...

Academia has become the citadel of Stalinism in modern America, and if anyone doubts that here is a case in point. The president of the University of Illinois system is being threatened with termination because he said in an e-mail - now people with small children please have them leave the room because this is going to be outrageous - he called authorities in the SIU system who wanted to overfund the Carbondale campus "bitchers".
Oh, the Humanity! more...

When the framers created the government, itwas split into three coequal branches; the Congressional, Executive, and Judicial branches. Articles I through III describe the duties, responsibilities,and powers assigned to each branch of the government. However, one of those branches seems to be the redheadedstepchild of the government lately.
If you’ve been paying attention to the news over the last severalyears, you know the House of Representatives, and more recently the Senate, have been engaged in a fierce battle with executive branch agencies over documentsaboutcongressional investigations. The agencies routinely ignore requests from Congress or flat out lie when questioned under oath. Unfortunately, this is nothing new.

The New Bigotry
"In 155 AD, Roman authorities ordered a man named Polycarp to burn incense for the Roman Emperor. Witnesses say the local authorities begged Polycarp to comply, some even acknowledging it was a meaningless act. But Polycarp refused. "Eighty-six years I have served Christ, and He never did me any wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?" Polycarp announced. The Roman proconsul had a pyre built to burn Polycarp.
Eyewitnesses say Polycarp told the proconsul there would be no need to tie him to the stake as he would not flee. Others claim the flames would not touch Polycarp so the proconsul ordered him stabbed through the heart. Polycarp's refusal to do what others told him was meaningless because he viewed it as an affront to his faith is a good lesson for Christians when confronted with the open and increasing bigotry against people of faith in the United States.
You will probably not have heard of Russell Berger. He is a orthodox believing Christian, pastor, and, until last week, was the Chief Knowledge Officer of CrossFit. A local CrossFit gym (they call them boxes) did not want to have a gay pride event and gay rights activists subsequently began harassing the owner of the gym. Berger, on his personal Twitter feed, tweeted, "As someone who personally believes celebrating 'pride' is a sin, I'd like to personally encourage
#CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by their convictions and refusing to host an @indypride workout."
He continued, "The intolerance of the LGBTQ ideology toward any alternative views is mind-blowing. The tactics of some in the LGBTQ movement toward dissent is an existential threat to freedom of expression. The lack of tolerance for disagreement, which has been replaced with bullying Twitter mobs promising 'consequences', should be a concern regardless of your political stance." The LGBTQ community then proved him exactly right and demanded his termination. CrossFit bowed to the mob and terminated Berger for daring to express his personal views on his personal Twitter presence.
