The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

Th cognitive deficit that Trump creates in the Left is unbelievable. If someone who is incapable of giving consent needs surgery, what should society do? Let them languish in pain or discomfort or at heightened risk of health issues?

The fact is, all 50 states allow others to give consent, and the Left is trotting out their pressure group of the day, the disabled, to tug on our heart-strings and mobilize the soccer moms to hate Trump and Kavanaugh. It's insane. It is sick. It is beneath contempt, but they do it with a smile on their faces and a skip in their steps, because eggs...omelets...some destruction required.

I have legal authority to make health-care decisions for my mother. Would these ghouls take that away, and allow no one to assist her? No, of course not, and they are bald-faced liars in other respects too. What about those 13-year-old girls having double mastectomies? Who is giving consent for minors to have elective surgery?

I saw this a few days ago and immediately wondered why the author chose 51 years. Was it to maximize the impact of the data? Probably. But I like it anyway.

I hope he is identified, and some local youths find him and piss on him. Political speech is fine. But making political statements anonymously is the signature of a coward. And adding in the destruction of property in a particularly disrespectful way makes this miscreant a worthless bum.

A new lawsuit alleges that Michigan State Univ. officials were made aware of a videotaped rape of an underage girl by Dr. Larry Nassar but covered it up, told a coach who reported it to resign, and stripped the victim of a scholarship. https://t.co/ZXK3669FvW

Tell me again why universities have any standing to investigate crimes? Hell, they can't catch their students cheating, so why does anyone think that they can manage violent crime?

The people involved in this should be tried by the state of Michigan and hopefully found guilty. I simply cannot imagine a scenario in which a normal human being has a good reason to cover up a rape, and I doubt the good people of Michigan could either.
[Update] Commenter "Jen" has a different take, so I will reserve judgement.
