Democrats suffer progressive derangement syndrome
How much progressivism is too much? We’ve always said Trump Derangement System works both ways. Trump is permitted to alienate otherwise persuadable voters because MAGA loyalists, suffering from reverse TDS, won’t call him to account. Did Senate Democrats threaten the President with reprisals if he backed the scandal-plagued Ken Paxton, who could well lose Texas?…

All 9 Dem governor candidates are Hong lite
They just don’t curse as much. Despite the best efforts of John Nichols to mainstream and Main Street his fellow/sister socialist Francesca Hong, voters in rural Lafayette County — “about as far as you can get from the urban centers and college campuses” — are not fretting over “the fate of Palestinians in Gaza,” as…

What do birds know?
about fairness? Even Blaska gets fed up with politics, as we’re guessing Sen. John Cornyn is feeling right about now in Texas. He’s like the guy who didn’t applaud Kim Jong Un with enough enthusiasm. Gone. We say again, there is nothing fair about politics. A good conservative who played by the rules goes down…

Memorial Day is for thanking
Better late than never. Like probably every son who ever lived, Blaska wishes he had told his old man that he didn’t do such a bad job after all (although some may differ). We knew he was on his way out but he never complained except to say, “Nothing seems to be working right.” My…

Sorry, Mr. President; you can’t do that
Standing up to Trump for the party’s sake. A growing number of Republicans are learning that their party has to rise above Donald Trump if they want to defeat socialism.

When the news broke that the married Graham Platner was sexting with various women, feminist writer Jill Filipovic declared:
“The Graham Platner story is landing because it confirms a bunch of his critics’ prior concerns: unvetted, history of poor decision-making, the kind of light misogyny that tends to go along with male bad decision-making. Those are all problems! But it’s worth asking if they’re problems that should be disqualifying for a senate seat and I think the answer to that is no.” …
So, Platner’s “light misogyny” and “history of poor decision-making” have little bearing on his ability to do the job of being a senator. I don’t exactly know how to define the job of a senator, but I kind of feel like “decision-making” is part of it. — Jonah Goldberg, the Dispatch
Today’s Laff Riot!
Will America survive the murder of “60 Minutes”? … If they can eliminate in plain sight an institution as central to the survival of the republic as Mr. Pelley and his carefully chewed spectacles, surely no one is safe. …
First they came for the preening, powdered popinjays of television news, but I did not speak out because I am not a popinjay. — Gerard Baker, Wall Street Journal
