Foreign holdings of US Treasuries soared to $6.857 trillion in Aug 2019, up 9% year over year

Excuse me Damon Linker, Democrats actually colluded with Ukraine to dig up dirt on their political rival Donald Trump in 2016, so spare me the handwringing about Trump trying to expose it

But over the past several months, the wheels have come off the Trump administration. Whether that's because responsible grown-ups resigned and were replaced by partisan hacks or because staffers have been ground down by struggling to contain an ignorant and angry president for months and years at a time is something that presidential historians will try to answer once all of this is behind us. What's clear in the present is that by this past summer, Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani set out to warp and subvert American foreign policy, turning it into an arm of the president's conspiracy-addled re-election campaign. The plan was to force a vastly weaker foreign government into colluding with the campaign for the purpose of digging up dirt on the president's political rival.

The rest of his bilge is here.

Joe Biden has been lying for a decade that a drunk driver killed his first wife and child

Police determined that Biden’s first wife drove into the path of Dunn’s tractor-trailer, possibly because her head was turned and she didn’t see the oncoming truck. Dunn, who overturned his rig while swerving to avoid a collision, ran to the wrecked car and was the first to render assistance. Police filed no charges against Dunn, who at that time lived in North East, Md. with his wife, Ruby, and their seven children. Biden has been alluding to alcohol being involved in the crash for nearly a decade. During a speech in 2001, Biden told an audience at University of Delaware that a drunken driver crashed into his family. He told a similar story during a public appearance in 2007. More recently, the vice presidential candidate’s misrepresentation of Dunn has found its way into major newspapers, including the New York Times. It also has been repeated on radio and on television by major news journalists, including CBS anchorwoman Katie Couric.

At least he didn't say she was killed because she was pregnant.

So-called conservative Rod Dreher says he supports Adrian Vermeule but obviously doesn't know what he stands for

Here’s the problem, though: how are we on the Right going to form the kind of warriors capable of resistance? The Left is already doing this through institutional capture. Harvard’s integralist law professor Adrian Vermeule talks about marching through the institutions from the Right, which I certainly hope will happen, but where are these troops going to come from? The churches? At this point, alas, that’s a sad joke. The ranks of homeschoolers, and other Benedict Optionistas? There aren’t enough of us, and as one Catholic homeschooling mom testified here, it is no guarantee at all. The universities? Come on.

Vermeule wants to flood the USA with third world Catholics, but as Pew has recently shown, they are increasingly less Catholic, so the genius at the law school will simply end up turning America into  just another shit-hole.

Imagine President Hillary using the powers of government to go after Jill Stein and Tulsi Gabbard and you can be thankful for the feckless boob we did elect in her place


The trend for growth of part-time work since 1968 has been much stronger than for full-time, saving business the cost of paying benefits such as paid holidays, sick time, retirement and health insurance

PART-TIME
FULL-TIME
Note the huge jumps in the percentage working part-time due to the Clinton tax increases after his election in 1992 and after the Great Recession in 2008.

Full-time has still not recovered to the two decade experience pre-Great Recession.

Average weekly hours for 80% of workers quarterly, post-Great Recession, has never recovered to pre-recession cyclical high of 33.9 and is as low now as when Trump was inaugurated

Disgraceful AP obituary for Elijah Cummings deliberately misquotes Trump

Trump responded by criticizing the Democrat’s district as a “rodent-infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.” The comments came weeks after Trump drew bipartisan condemnation following his calls for Democratic congresswomen of color to get out of the U.S. “right now,” and go back to their “broken and crime-infested countries.”

Trump actually said: "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how...."

Lying by omission, just like ABC this week editing what it knew was domestic US gun range demonstration footage and palming it off as actual video of Turkey's war in Syria.

You see, any fool can be a journalist, check a source and quote it accurately, even me. But you have to want to. AP obviously doesn't because it's down for the political cause, not for journalism.

The obit is here.
