Donald J. Trump has ZERO sense of economic history

LOL @ fascism stops exploitation of the poor when its handmaid libertarianism atomizes the opposition into millions of isolated, helpless, and at length subservient individuals

We are living under GLOBAL fascism and there's hardly a commentator who notices it.

Well, well, well, Barack "my Muslim faith" Obama grieves with New Zealand Muslims, not with Sri Lankan Christians

The Christians of Sri Lanka represent 7% of the population.

Islam represents just 1.2% of the population of New Zealand.

The modus operandi of progressivism is to take everything beautiful and shit all over it

Because only the future can be good, therefore everything from the past is evil, including Obamacare which no Democrat running for president in 2020 is defending, and even "Edelweiss" by Rogers and Hammerstein. Yes, a song from a beloved old musical.

Maggie Haberman Thinks It’s Weird For The White House To Play ‘Edelweiss’:

“Edelweiss” is original to the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, “The Sound of Music,” and dates back to 1959. More recently, a version of “Edelweiss” was used by the Amazon series, “The Man in the High Castle.”

The series, based on a novel by Phillip K. Dick, takes place in an alternate version of the United States in the 1960s. In the show’s version, the Axis powers won World War II and have split up the United States as German states and Japanese states.

So the version of “Edelweiss” used by the series is meant to sound creepy and uncomfortable. Those unfamiliar with the origins of the song might even think it was supposed to sound like a German folk song now being sung in a zombie-like chorus in the fictionally occupied United States. ...

While the Amazon series created its own version of the song that guts its emotional sentiment and original purpose, “Edelweiss” was written for “The Sound of Music” as a tear-jerking tribute to Captain von Trapp’s homeland of Austria.

In the musical, based on a true story, the von Trapps are forced to flee their homeland following the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany. The captain was no fascist, and while he loved Austria and its beautiful, pillowy, alpine flowers greeting him every morning, he knew he must escape to preserve his integrity and protect his family.

In “The Sound of Music,” Captain von Trapp singing “Edelweiss” is one of the most emotional musical numbers of the entire film. He attempts to softly strum a guitar and deliver the lyrics to a small crowd but becomes overwhelmed with emotion when he reaches the line “bless my homeland forever.” His family joins him on stage to help him finish. That night, they flee Nazi persecutors who are trying to recruit the captain into the Nazi war effort.

The namesake flower of the song is also associated with anti-Nazi Austrian Resistance groups, like the “Edelweiss Pirates,” which was comprised mainly of children and teens. Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein, both Jewish and fiercely anti-Nazi, wrote the song at a later point in the musical production because they felt Captain von Trapp’s patriotism needed to be underscored.

I liked starting my day with Drudge's "It's Mueller Time", reminded me of the good old days when I poured beer on my cereal to stop that "Snap, Crackle, Pop" sound

GTFO: Holder was there for his "boy", but TRUMP can't expect HIS AG to be HIS wingman?

Editorial: Reform-minded prosecutors give St. Louis-area voters what they asked for:

The St. Louis area’s two busiest criminal prosecution offices are undergoing a much-needed review of cases involving low-level offenders with an eye toward reducing incarceration as the preferred instrument of deterrence. Kimberly Gardner and Wesley Bell promised reform when they campaigned for their respective jobs as chief prosecutors in St. Louis city and county. ... Bell told the editorial board last month that he wants to reserve criminal prosecution and imprisonment for the “worst of the worst.” 

Methinks 'twill be a hot summer in the city this year.

Western civilization wasn't built on the "Judeo-Christian" heritage until the "Judeo" was added in the mid-20th century

The addition of "Judeo" is largely due to the post-war victors' response to and feelings of guilt for the Holocaust, but is also bound up with the post-war enthusiasm for ecumenism which remembered how Protestants and Catholics of many stripes fought side by side with Jews in the allied forces of the west to defeat Hitler.

The France which started to build the Notre Dame Cathedral in about 1160 thought so little of Jews it took away their property and expelled them from time to time.
