FIRE IN THE HOLE
Ezra Klein readies the next leftist line of attack.
I don't think people are ready for the crisis that will follow if Democrats win the House popular vote but not the majority. After Kavanaugh, Trump, Garland, Citizens United, Bush v. Gore, etc, the party is on the edge of losing faith in the system (and reasonably so).
Seriously, kid? If a Republican wins, say, District 3 here in Missouri but the nationwide House popular vote favors the Democrats, the Missouri District 3 Republican congressman is illegitimate? Seems that that would make every single winning Democrat congressman in this country as illegitimate as that Missouri District 3 Republican congressman.
After all, it's the same election. Why would one election be illegitimate but not another? Unless, of course, you think that only Democratic Party wins are political legitimate in which case...
Okay, now I'm getting it.
UPDATE: Right on schedule.
UPDATE: Once again.

THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES
Let's put it this way. SCTV was ALWAYS a better show than SNL, one of the two most overrated American "comedy" shows (the other one's Seinfeld). Great comedy is always built on an underlying intelligence, something SNL rarely had and certainly doesn't have now. In fact, the only time SNL was ever genuinely funny or interesting was when Eddie Murphy was there.

Major League Baseball has just been handed a wonderful new marketing idea because some of these are really cool. If these things existed right now they'd be flying out of the stores as I type this. I'd buy one. Maybe two or three different ones.
Except for one thing.
There's a but?
There's always a but. The St. Louis Cardinals version is just...wrong.

Be my guest, dumbass. Run on this.
That’s why we need to ban civilian firearms and make illegal possession a capital crime. Publicly execute a few hundred thousand illegal gun owners and the rest will get the message

Climate change is a myth. The weather doesn't change because of cars. The weather changes because there aren't enough birds in the area.
If birds leave an area it gets cold and might start snowing. If birds arrive in an area it gets warm and could start spring or summer.
Can't argue with the science.

KANSAS-NEBRASKA II
In a perfect world, this Senate Judiciary Committee letter would accomplish two things. It would reelect Donald Trump in 2020. And any presidential aspirations Kamala Harris might entertain would be deader than whatever's left of William Henry Harrison. Selections follow.
I am once again writing regarding fabricated allegations the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary recently received. As you know, the Senate Judiciary Committee processed the nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States, leading to his eventual confirmation on October 6, 2018. As part of that process, the Committee has investigated various allegations made against Judge Kavanaugh. The Committee’s investigation has involved communicating with numerous individuals claiming to have relevant information. While many of those individuals have provided the Committee information in good faith, it unfortunately appears some have not. As explained below, I am writing to refer Ms. Judy Munro-Leighton for investigation of potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 (materially false statements) and 1505 (obstruction), for materially false statements she made to the Committee during the course of the Committee’s investigation.
On September 25, 2018, staffers for Senator Harris, a Committee member, referred an undated handwritten letter to Committee investigators that her California office had received signed under the alias “Jane Doe” from Oceanside, California. The letter contained highly graphic sexual-assault accusations against Judge Kavanaugh. The anonymous accuser alleged that Justice Kavanaugh and a friend had raped her “several times each” in the backseat of a car. In addition to being from an anonymous accuser, the letter listed no return address, failed to provide any timeframe, and failed to provide any location -- beyond an automobile -- in which these alleged incidents took place.

In addition to being from an anonymous accuser, the letter listed no return address, failed to provide any timeframe, and failed to provide any location -- beyond an automobile -- in which these alleged incidents took place.
Then, on October 3, 2018, Committee staff received an email from a Ms. Judy Munro-Leighton with a subject line claiming: “I am Jane Doe from Oceanside CA -- Kavanaugh raped me.” Ms. Munro-Leighton wrote that she was “sharing with you the story of the night that Brett Kavanaugh and his friend sexually assaulted and raped me in his car” and referred to “the letterthat I sent to Sen. Kamala Harris on Sept. 19 with details of this vicious assault.” She continued: “I know that [‘]Jane Doe[’] will get no media attention, but I am deathly afraid of revealing any information about myself or my family.” She then included a typed version of the Jane Doe letter.
Eventually, on November 1, 2018, Committee investigators connected with Ms. Munro-Leighton by phone and spoke with her about the sexual-assault allegations against Judge Kavanaugh she had made to the Committee. Under questioning by Committee investigators, Ms. Munro-Leighton admitted, contrary to her prior claims, that she had not been sexually assaulted by Judge Kavanaugh and was not the author of the original “Jane Doe” letter. When directly asked by Committee investigators if she was, as she had claimed, the “Jane Doe” from Oceanside, California who had sent the letter to Senator Harris, she admitted: “No, no, no. I did that as a way to grab attention. I am not Jane Doe . . . but I did read Jane Doe’s letter. I read the transcript of the call to your Committee. . . . I saw it online. It was news.”

She further confessed to Committee investigators that (1) she “just wanted to get attention”; (2) “it was a tactic”; and (3) “that was just a ploy.” She told Committee investigators that she had called Congress multiple times during the Kavanaugh hearing process – including prior to the time Dr. Ford’s allegations surfaced – to oppose his nomination. Regarding the false sexual-assault allegation she made via her email to the Committee, she said: “I was angry, and I sent it out.”
And now for the punch line.
When asked by Committee investigators whether she had ever met Judge Kavanaugh, she said: “Oh Lord, no.”
Read the whole thing.
In a perfect world, other things should also happen. This woman and ANYONE else directly or indirectly involved in this hit job, for that's all it ever was, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I'm not interested in jail time for any of them. Having to explain a felony conviction to a future prospective employer or voter is more than enough punishment.
In a perfect world, most Starbucks baristas or McDonald's drive-through window people would be unemployable poli-sci majors.
In a perfect world, American "journalists" would take a long, hard look at themselves and their alleged "profession." And that class of "conservative" writers and politicians who would rather gouge out their own eyes and eardrums rather than say anything nice about Donald Trump would realize just how much the American left hates them and always will.
But we won't live in a perfect world until Jesus returns.

AND NOW...IDIOTS
Communist with three houses says whaaaaat?
Sen. Bernie Sanders (Babbling Moron-Vt.) on Tuesday went after President Trump, calling him “the most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted president in history" during a campaign event for Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous (D).
Campaign staffers “are working to make sure that the agenda of the most racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted president in history will go nowhere because Democrats will control the House and the Senate,” Sanders said of campaigns across the country.
I guess that means that the slaveholding US presidents are off the hook. By the way, I might have rewritten that copy a little.

BREAKING
Claire McCaskill is in WAY worse trouble than I thought.
Speaking exclusively to Fox News on Monday, vulnerable incumbent Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill dropped the names of two high-profile colleagues, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, when asked to identify the "crazy Democrats" from whom her campaign has distanced itself in recent days. McCaskill said she wouldn't call the two "crazy," but noted they had disagreements with each other.
"The crazy Democrats are people who walk in restaurants and scream in elected officials' faces," McCaskill told "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier. In recent weeks, progressive activists have hounded Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell as they ate dinner, as well as Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
"We have a state senator here in Missouri that actually advocated for the assassination of President Trump. That's a crazy Democrat," McCaskill continued, referring to state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who was censured for her comments last year. "I don't do those things. I am not somebody who thinks that we should ever be uncivil."
Wow.
The fact that Claire's even talking to Fox News at all, never mind what she told them, indicates the toxicity of the national Democratic Party in Missouri. In football terms, what this suggests is that Claire's losing the game by eight points, has the ball on her own half-yard line and has to go 99 and a half yards just have a chance to tie the game and go to overtime.
Her internals must be through the floor and still dropping.
UPDATE: How much trouble is Claire in? A crazy Missouri Democrat is not a fan.
In a scathing series of tweets on Monday and Tuesday, Missouri Democratic state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal referred to McCaskill as “Dixie Claire,” described her as a “piece of sh_t,” compared her to a slave owner and accused “McCaskill and her racist democratic friends” of alienating the party’s base voters.
“Claire McCaskill is desperate. She’s a piece of sh_t. Instead of knowing why people of color are angered by this administration, she chooses to put us [and] our families in harm’s way,” Chappelle-Nadal wrote in a tweet on Monday.
“If my family is harmed, blame it on Claire McCaskill. She deserves to lose. She is not a Democrat,” the state senator added.
“Claire McCaskill and her racist democratic friends continue to alienate the base,” Chappelle-Nadal wrote in a Tuesday morning tweet. In another she referred to McCaskill as “Dixie Claire.”
When I was growing up, the Democrats ran this state, partly due to the lingering affects of the Civil War which lasted longer here than they did in the rest of the Confederacy. They owned the General Assembly and while there were Republican congressmen here and there, these were usually gerrymandered down to a minimum.
I'll never forget the astonishment at the fact that Episcopal clergyman and Republican John Danforth won election as Missouri's attorney general. But where are we now?
The Republicans control the General Assembly with a vice grip that I can't remember the Democrats ever having. Missouri's governor is a popular Republican and if Claire loses, as I expect she will, both US senators from Missouri will be Republicans while the Democrats will be reduced to a congressional seat in St. Louis and one in Kansas City.
Sic transit Gloria and all that.
