BLUF: [Breitbart] "In the final analysis, what happened was that Comey has repeatedly and improperly protected Hillary Clinton and her top people from the consequences of their criminal behavior by coloring the law, misstating the law, and focusing on everything but the elephant in the living room: why didn’t he prosecute her? Why didn’t he recommend a prosecution? Why was immunity granted to all of these individuals? Why is it he said that he needed to prove intent, when in fact all they really needed was gross negligence, which was proven beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt, and he probably had the intent there anyway?" he asked.

The DOJs under Obama were a travesty; mainly their function was as a gatekeeper to prevent prosecution of corrupt Party officials and to promote a prog agenda.

[ILOVENZ.ME] 19 year old Jonty Cockburn spent the past 6 months travelling the world, visiting some of the world’s most spiritual places only to realise that he is a boring, hypocritical, “cliché c**t” he said.
Cockburn’s expensive round-the-world trip has taken him through countries such as Goa, Mongolia, Peru and Burma but it wasn’t until New Zealand that he found himself.
Cockburn spoke about the realisation and how it overcame him whilst he sat round a drum circle at an organic chickpea farm in New Zealand’s Northern Island.
What triggered Cockburn, was when he realised that he was with another 8 near-identical looking white, hair tied into a bun, poncho-wearing, bucket-hat sporting, fire-poi spinning, terribly tattooed hippies.
What he realised the most was that he has spent most of his life judging others for being “Too mainstream” and “not caring enough about the world.” Cockburn has lost many friends arguing over basic things such as the price of milk and how TV is controlling the population, but now he realises that he can only control his own life and he should mind his own business.
Cockburns Facebook profile lists one of his interests as ‘legalisation, hacky-sack [and]… psytrance’, tells has stated that he intends to cut his dreadlocks off, throw away his propagator
What is a propagator? I want to know just to get the full flavour of the thing.
and burn his embarrassing collection of tye-dye t-shirts. Propagator also is a bag of bullsh*t.
“I thought I was an individual snowflake, but then I realised that actually, all snow looks the same to the human eye. “ Cockburn goes on to that “I don’t want to sit around anymore talking about how we’re going to change the world with a revolution, only to then consume an entire bag of Cool Original Doritos, watch re-runs of Blackadder, and then fall asleep.”
“I want to actually do something worthwhile with my life instead.” Said Cockburn

They always said be careful about that whole entire Enlightenment thing as it may not be what you were expecting. How sad when knowledge brings no profit to the wise.

Solicitous, soulless sincerity:

Just asked his mechanic,
"That grease... it's organic?"
This century has passed beyond parody.

The abuse of the word organic is a pet peeve of mine. Drives me crazy when people say the only eat 'organic'.
Organic? You mean like DDT?
No, I mean like something 'natural'?
Natural? You mean like tetrodotoxin? Or perhaps you mean something like crude oil?
[TheZman] I make no bones about that fact I don’t like Kevin Williamson, the house rumpswab at National Review. I have no tolerance for people who put on false fronts and Williamson’s quill pen act is as phony as a three dollar bill. George Will did the same thing for decades, but he at least had a first class education and did some time as a university instructor. He was a gold-plated phony, but at least he had some credentials. Williamson has none of that. He’s just a real life version of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons.
Gratuitously mocking fat guys is not a good look so I resist the temptation by doing what most everyone does and that’s avoid reading National Review. It’s not that hard as the only interesting thing about conservative commentary these days is the remarkable dullness of it. Even the most boring people are interesting on occasion. It takes special talent to be that ineffectual all the time. So, I was minding my own business scanning twitter and I see this tweet from Charles Murray: Continued at the link

I did read the whole thing, but almost stopped when he mocked George Will. It's been a while, but I remembered he wrote some good stuff about baseball, once. This is probably not the piece I remember, but it's pretty good.

NRO went downhill after they've fired Derb for saying what everybody thinks about Black/White/USA.

I remember getting the call from Jeff Smulyan, inviting me and a guest to a Mariners' game in his box. Pretty cool. Right behind first base, and a fresh Corona with the wave of a hand.
Then, George Will entered the box. I had just finished reading Men at Work, and had loved it. Oh, and Junior and his dad were playing, and the Mariners were playing New York.

Look, NR isn't what it once was. It used to be a stronghold of conservatism, but unfortunately today, it has been taken over by the Beltway Party. People who are 100% OK with being perpetual 2nd place to Democrats, because they mostly agree with them about how vile Americans are.

The link worked for me just now. Maybe it was a problem at the other end?
[The Citizen] One of the painful realities of our times is how long a political lie can survive, even after having been disproved years ago, or even generations ago.
A classic example is the phrase "tax cuts for the rich," which is loudly proclaimed by opponents, whenever there is a proposal to reduce tax rates. The current proposal to reduce federal tax rates has revived this phrase, which was disproved by facts, as far back as the 1920s -- and by now should be called "tax lies for the gullible."
How is the claim of "tax cuts for the rich" false? Let me count the ways. More important, you can easily check out the facts for yourself with a simple visit to your local public library or, for those more computer-minded, on the Internet.
One of the key arguments of those who oppose what they call "tax cuts for the rich" is that the Reagan administration tax cuts led to huge federal government deficits, contrary to "supply side economics" which said that lower tax rates would lead to higher tax revenues.
[DAWN] ARTICLE 25-A in our Constitution makes education a basic right for all five- to 16-year-old children. For the last many years, governments have been trying to get all children in this age bracket into schools but have not been successful as yet. In fact, though the article talks about all five- to 16-year-old children, most of the focus of governments has been on getting primary education universalised -- and we have not even been successful in that as yet.
Punjab claims that the ’participation’ rate has gone up to 90 per cent at the primary level. But it is not clear as to what is meant by the ’participation’ rate, how this is linked to gross and net enrolment rates and what this means in terms of primary-level completion rates. The claims about enrolments, from other provinces, are lower than those for Punjab, so the problem is bigger in other provinces.
It is often argued, in education policy circles, that getting all children into schools is the first priority and once that is done, we can worry about the quality of education and other related issues. And, broadly speaking, this is indeed the policy that the provincial and federal governments have been following. But, there are a number of problems with this perspective.

Can education for all work?
I've worked as high school teacher for the last six months - not just no, but hell no. A couple of students who's not interested in learning, but won't even stay quietly glued to their smartphones, can completely disrupt any lesson.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
