A grandmother of Bolshevism over at The American Conservative is upset with her children
Hey, we are the chosen immanentizers of the eschaton, not you!
Kelly Marcum, here:
The left, which continues to decry the social faux pas of cultural appropriation with ever-increasing vehemence, is itself guilty of the very same crime. They, the proponents of a predominantly liberal post-Christian culture, have undertaken a great project of appropriating and reinventing orthodox Christian values. ...
The left has made it its mission to culturally appropriate Christianity and use it for its own ends; in too many cases, it has been allowed to do so and even aided in its efforts by Christians themselves. ...
If orthodox Christianity is to survive in an evermore hostile culture, its practitioners and leaders will need not only to withstand the pressure to accommodate and self-censor, but to repossess their own language and tenets that have been exploited by the left.

That was a boom. This is not.

If essential federal government employees will continue working in a shutdown, haven't we identified who ought to be eliminated?
The non-essential federal employees, who numbered about 850,000 in 2013.
But that would make too much sense for this farce in which we star.
We have the government we deserve.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan says a government shutdown would be wisky, weckless and wong
Of course, when The State is all, and War is the Health of the State, it would be.
Quoted here:
“Sen. Schumer, do not shut down the federal government," Ryan told reporters after the House vote. “It is risky, it is reckless and it is wrong.” Ryan added: “The only people standing in the way of keeping the government open are Senate Democrats. Whether there is a government shutdown or not is entirely up to them.” In order to win Thursday's vote, Ryan struck a deal with Freedom Caucus conservatives shortly before a scheduled floor vote on a spending provision. The agreement, which promised the group a separate vote on military funding, is expected to yield enough votes to secure passage of the spending bill in the House.

At least now we know that Senator Jeff Flake believes everything he reads in the newspaper
Speech here.
"Of course, a major difference between politicians and the free press is that the press usually corrects itself when it gets something wrong. Politicians don't."
Well har-dee har har har at the last person alive to believe in the free press. Check that. John Kasich was pretty darn moved to receive the endorsement of The New York Times. But, come to think of it, Kasich is another failed politician just like Flake. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Meanwhile The New York Post is still just a buck. Get 'em while they're hot.

High-tech Norwegian toilet vs. High Haitian toilet: Any questions?
 |
| This one burns it up. |
 |
| This one should just be burned. |
Laugh of the Day: Nitwit cycler surveying the world's literal shit-holes by bike laments "open deification" when she means "defecation"
 |
| She botches "defecation" not once ... |
I know that's how I like my gods, openly deified. :/
Can't say much for the rest of her English either, but if you need a writer, she wants you to know she's available! Yikes. All that fresh air isn't doing much for her self-awareness now is it? At least she acknowledges the clear superiority of Western toilets.

Did you know food stamp recipients soared 3,639,173 in October 2017?
An increase of nearly 8.7% from September 2017, the month prior.
We now have 45.6 million on food stamps when a year ago October it was only 43.4 million.
The Florida data is up 2.58 million from September to October due to Hurricane Maria, and Texas is up 1.3 million due to Hurricane Harvey.
Trump has already caved on The Wall in the "negotiations", settling for 700 miles instead of 2,000
What a loser.
The Washington Times reports here:
Mr. Trump, meanwhile, is seeking a much less dramatic wall than the “sea-to-sea” version he touted during the 2016, campaign, presenting Congress with a scaled-back version that would cover 700 miles and cost $18 billion over a decade — though the president said he figures it can be built much faster and cheaper. ... Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer this week also declined to draw red lines on the wall, saying he saw progress in Mr. Trump no longer seeking a 2,000-mile-long barrier. ... A proposal from the Homeland Security Department, submitted to Congress last week, called for $18 billion in fencing and another $1 billion in new roads to patrol the fencing. The fencing would involve upgrading existing barriers and adding new ones, extending the current 654 miles of barriers to about 970 miles, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Anita Kumar for The News & Observer never once mentions DACA is illegal while bashing Stephen Miller
Open borders Republicans along with Democrats like Dick Durbin are trying to make Stephen Miller the problem when Obama's illegal executive order on immigration is the real offense against the rule of law. Meanwhile feckless members of Congress from both parties would be delighted to have President Trump take all the political heat for a deal SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO.
Anita Kumar is their useful idiot Swamp Thing in the press, here.
Kumar is a former WaPo reporter.
