One Handed Typing Morning Report![]()
....an all GIF Morning Report? No, no it couldn't. It's a dumb question, never happens. Forget I asked. What you also won't get is one of JJ's wonderful posts. I spoke to Sefton a while ago, and he told me that to do the MR, he gets up at 4:30 (get up at 4:30?? I couldn't survive on just a half hour's sleep each night!), peruses dozens and dozens of news websites, copies links, groups them into categories, writes an Ace-movie-review length post introducing all of the links and then heads off to his day job as a Robert De Niro impersonator. I haven't got that kind of fortitude, but I can give y'all a dozen links to interesting articles and news reports. I think. Here goes nuthin'. Socialism Given all the suffering it has caused, is socialism a hate crime? If you really want an effective counter to all of the idiots running around crying for Socialism, there's no better place to go than the Twitter feed of @RexValllachorum. An expat Romanian, he grew up in socialist Romania before emigrating to the US. He has an ongoing series of tweetstorms about what life in a Marxist country is really like, and every one of them is gold. A Wonderful Socialist Life - Part I Read them all. Wonderful stuff, straight from the horse's mouth.
Big fish in little ponds: Victor David Hanson came up with what he calls "The Bloomberg Syndrome" It is a human trait to focus on cheap and lofty rhetoric rather than costly, earthy reality. It is a bureaucratic characteristic to rail against the trifling misdemeanor rather than address the often-dangerous felony. And it is political habit to mask one's own failures by lecturing others on their supposed shortcomings. Ambitious elected officials often manage to do all three. That comes from the following article (from 2013) The Bloomberg Syndrome Strikes Philadelphia So, do we have any examples of The Bloomberg Syndrome in the news today? Well, here's one. Contrast that with the politically inconvenient facts: How to Solve the Plastic Crisis: Just eight countries are responsible for most ocean plastic. A few more political links: GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter up by 8 points despite indictment
PETA put up a billboard urging Baltimore to stop eating crabs. It didn't exactly go over well.
More Twitter News: Someone Threatens To Murder Dana Loesch’s Children. Twitter Yawns. But please, tell me again how conservatives aren't being treated at second class citizens on social media.
I hope none of you blinked, because if you did, you would have missed the fleeting coverage the MSM gave to the compound of Muslims training children to conduct terrorists attacks found in Arizona a week or so ago. This is CNN's take: In New Mexico, where life off the grid is common, compound suspects struggled Poor widdle terrorists, finding it so hard to live without modern amenities. What were they up to, you ask? Two linked to 'extremist Muslim' New Mexico compound wanted to attack hospital, prosecutors say Miscellaneous Stuff Suds for Drugs Why Tide detergent is a hot item for shoplifters And I think that's it for me, folks. Don't worry, JJ will be back soon with much better Morning Reports. Have a great day! ![]() | Recent Comments
