It's a big joke. But - The Countless Crimes of Hillary Clinton: Special Prosecutor Needed Now. Hillary finally hands over her server—after it's been professionally wiped clean.
Hillary! and Bill are schemers, sociopaths, bad people with a 40-year record. I know that politics often attracts low-skill sociopaths, but Dems can do better. True that this is all far worse than Watergate which had nothing to do with anything important. That was pure scalp-hunting as was going after Bill for his female-abuse.
Federal criminal court is not the nightly news.

NYC's mayor and the poverty industry. MacDonald:
The overwhelming cause of poverty in America today is family breakdown, not inadequate government spending on welfare programs or low wages. Children in single-mother households are over four times as likely to be poor as children raised by married parents. And an adult can avoid poverty by taking just three simple steps: graduate from high school, work full-time, and wait until marriage to have children. Only 2 percent of adults who followed those rules are poor, according to the Brookings Institution’s Isabell Sawhill; 75 percent of adults who obey the rules have entered the middle class, defined as making at least $55,000 a year.

The college revolutions of the 1960s—the ones that gave rise to the social-justice warriors of today’s campuses—were fueled by free speech. But once you’ve won a culture war, free speech is a nuisance, and “eliminating” language becomes a necessity.

Hope y'all have as fun a summer weekend as I am planning - fishing and thriving on seafood and beer with my gal off Block Island on the usual shared Whaler. I still have no idea why the gal likes me. Yes, I do have a cooler with wasabi, fresh ginger, and soy sauce so we can have sushi fresh from the sea, still flipping, so that might be why. Sushi + Corona with some lime in it.
They predict good sized seas on the ocean this weekend. Ride 'em, cowboy! Carpe diem, friends.

The internet says 2% of people are Borderline psychotics living in a mental world between ordinary and totally nuts. That 2% manages to get plenty of press if only for entertainment value.

African wildlife:
For those who actually want to do something other than make noise, there is no shortage of challenges. Chinese-sponsored gangs, well armed with heavy rifles and automatic weapons, are presently killing elephant at an unprecedented rate. Recently, elephant-rich areas of Tanzania, Mozambique, and Zambia have been all but wiped out. The demand for lion and leopard bones from the Far East is at an all-time high, putting a premium on big cats. Meat hunters are wiping out the antelope and buffalo herds throughout Africa. For many of these animals the safari hunters were their only hope.

The arc of progressivism is on the wrong side of history when it comes to the disruptive technologies that benefit the middle class that progressives love to defend. Whether conservative and libertarian-leaning leaders can offer an alternative vision remains to be seen, but the progressive tendency to stand athwart history on these matters has given them an open door to try.

So we progressively humanize animals and dehumanize people. Something wrong there. I am neither pro-abortion nor anti-all abortion. I have been in a moral limbo about it for years while finding the very idea of abortion spiritually revolting. Abortion is not health care. PP abortions should not be funded by taxpayers. They can abort all the lions they want if they have too many.
