Thank God CNN's Brian Stelter warned us that The Babylon Bee is a fake news site
Still can't figure out why he deleted that tweet about it, though. Rumor has it it had something to do with someone explaining to Brian that The Babylon Bee was in reality the intelligent man's The Onion. Oh, as Rush might say.
Marianne Williamson was last night's clear winner, and the left immediately goes to DEFCON 1: NBC attacks saying her real name is Marianne Individualism
Marianne Williamson's Democratic debate performance raised eyebrows. But she's no friend of the left. :
The self-help guru’s supposedly empowering rhetoric masks a mean-spirited individualism that would lead to harmful policies if she were somehow elected. ... Williamson is a good illustration of how a creeping hippie Reaganism can actually hurt progressive ideals. ... Williamson's approach is not an accident or an aberration. It's the natural outgrowth of an individualistic, reactionary ideology which calls first for internal spiritual renewal rather than for systemic cultural and political change. There's a direct line from such thinking to blaming poor people for their poverty or insisting that welfare payments corrupt recipients. Neoliberalism, whether of the left or the right, ends up blaming marginalized people for their own oppression. And once you've blamed them for their own suffering, you shuffle off any obligation to change things to help them, or to make the world more just.

Rahm Emanuel tries in vain to help Democrats unscrew themselves after Miami debates
Before our party promises health care coverage to undocumented immigrants . . ..
Before we start worrying about whether the Boston Marathon bomber can vote . . ..
And before we promise a guaranteed minimum income to healthy adults who prefer to stay home and play video games . . ..
AP hopes Trump's in trouble for 2020 based on random interviews with 36+ suburban women, admits they are Democrat voters twenty paragraphs in
Gee, what a shock, right? Democrat base voters recoil at Trump because he's icky.
Suburban women recoil as Trump dives into racial politics:
Suburban women recoil as Trump dives into racial politics:
Such women are an electoral threat to the president in large part because women outnumber and outvote men, noted Kelly Dittmar, a political science professor and a scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
“They are especially vital because they are base voters for Democrats. They vote for Democrats in larger numbers than men, but for Republicans, they are also important because they have tended to be a larger proportion of swing voters,” Dittmar said.

Great, State of Michigan flying the fag flag is the same as flying POW flags and university flags
[Governor Whitmer] also announced the flag order on Twitter,
accompanied by a video and photo of the flags. But that tweet prompted
more than 100 responses from people angry with the move, with many
saying that a small segment of the population shouldn't be singled out
for such an honor.
That was the point [Lynn] Afendoulis tried to make with her
bill, but the Twitter response was just as quick. By noon on Friday,
more than 6,200 people liked Whitmer's veto threat and several hundred
people noted that flags honoring such groups as POWs (prisoners of war)
and universities often flew on state buildings and would be banned under
Afendoulis' legislation.
Obama stole neo-liberal healthcare mandate from Hillary, who stole it from "conservative" Heritage Foundation
There is no difference between forcing you to buy health insurance and taking your money to pay for Medicaid and Medicare.
Everyone is for tyranny.
LOL: Rat-infested cities tend to be Democrat cities
Trump’s Attack on Baltimore Doesn’t Go Far Enough:
Take a look at the eight other cities that beat Baltimore on Orkin’s
rattiest cities list. What do they all have in common? We’ll, let’s see:
Chicago hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1931. Philadelphia last
saw a Republican mayor in 1952, Detroit in 1962. San Francisco has been
Democrat-controlled since 1964. Washington, D.C., has never had a
Republican mayor.
In Los Angeles, Democrats have run the city in all but eight of the
past 58 years, in New York, it’s eight in the past 74 (not counting John
Lindsay, who switched parties while in office). Cleveland’s been run by
Democrats in all but 16 of the past 78 years.
Indeed, if you want to see what liberal Democratic policies tend to
produce, go to any one of those cities, or other Democratic strongholds.
Democrats promise to help the poor and downtrodden, grow the middle
class, make life more fair. But their policies consistently produce the opposite.
These cities are rife with crime. Baltimore ranks No. 1 for robberies
and No. 2 for murders. Many of the other rat-infested cities also rank
high for violent crimes. Their infrastructure is crumbling. The middle
class has largely abandoned them.
And far from tackling inequality, Democrats have made it worse.
Washington, San Francisco and New York are all in the top 10 for biggest
income inequality levels, according to the Brookings Institution. Other Democrat cities — Providence, Miami, Boston, New Orleans — are also on the list.
Washington, San Francisco, New York, Detroit, and Cleveland are also among the 10 worst-run cities, according to WalletHub. Three other Democratic strongholds — Oakland, Flint, Hartford — make WalletHub’s worst-run list.
LOL October 2018: "Baltimore On Most Rat-Infested Cities List Again: Orkin"
While Baltimore showed progress from last year, it still made the top 10 on Orkin's list of "Rattiest Cities.":
- Chicago
- Los Angeles
- New York
- Washington, DC
- San Francisco
- Detroit
- Philadelphia
- Cleveland
- Baltimore
- Denver
LOL only WE can say it: In Dec 2015 these two men both called Baltimore's conditions "third world" level
Bernie Sanders' Baltimore visit: hold the Isis, let's focus on 'third world' US cities:
Bernie Sanders: [A]nyone who took the walk we took today around this neighbourhood would not think you were in a wealthy nation, you would think you were in a third world country.
Jamal Bryant: We are 45 miles from the White House and it doesn’t even look like we are in America. It looks like we are in a third world country.
