ya. trump's three wives were good in their own right, but i feel melania is the nicest and most willing to support his antics
can't wait til dems and repubs go at it later this year and trump pulls the "my daughter is jewish you buffoon!" card

trump's taking a heavy smearing campaign though. what's with people saying melania posed nude? i consider myself an advanced google user. i've googled for them and only saw the sexy gq ones, which are not nudes. ivanka's nudes were super easy to find, on the other hand

Summary, and I quote: "Only intolerance can stop utopia now."
Watch as the students struggle to explain why an adult male shouldn’t enroll in a first-grade class, why he’s not a woman, why he’s not substantially taller, or why he’s not Asian. This isn’t moral relativism, it’s a completely fact-free new moral code, one based entirely on consent and harm. Or, I should say, immediate harm. Essentially the new morality is “you do you — so long as it doesn’t hurt me or someone else in a way that I immediately recognize.” The new immorality is any act of “intolerance” that purports to interfere with this radical autonomy.
The fascinating and disturbing thing is that a generation that so prizes its alleged love of “science” continues to hold to this primitive harm-based morality in spite of oceans of evidence that years of far more basic departures from traditional morality have caused (and are causing) enormous social problems and human suffering. Years ago no-fault divorce was a no-brainer, a recognition of individual free will. Fast forward two generations and broken families are a prime factor in virtually every negative economic, emotional, and cultural development in the United States.
More recently, cohabitation is a new norm, and couples who wait until marriage to live together are seen as odd. Yet cohabitation often causes young children to experience extreme family instability, exposes children to greater risk of physical and sexual abuse from non-parent boyfriends, and often leaves single mothers facing serial abandonment.

Is Jay Nordlinger mournful? Am I? Maybe, but you can’t tell from this week’s supercharged podcast which powers through the news with the speed of a locomotive. We condemn and praise (Boehner, Ferrell, Coburn, many more), throw in a few anecdotes, and dispense justice with a swift (rhetorical) sword. This is the paradigmatic Charen/Nordlinger podcast. No holds barred.

Did Bush Lie About Iraq? presented by Judith Miller
― indie fresh (m coleman), Monday, 2 May 2016 23:23 (eight years ago) link
Judith: "To answer this profound question, we must be very careful to parse the word 'lie', so as to distinguish it from telling untruths. For example, we can be absolutely certain that Cheney lied through his teeth about Iraq. And we also know that Bush was told the truth about Iraq by a variety of different sources. But we are forced to consider the very remote possibility that Bush chose not to believe the truth and preferred to believe the lies, which he then passed along to the rest of the world as the truth. Which action may be indistinguishable from lying in ordinary sense of the word, but technically is only telling untruths while claiming they are true. Next question."

Remember, You Asked for This by KEVIN D. WILLIAMSON May 3, 2016 10:20 PM I want to leave a note here, because I expect to have many occasions to link back to it in the next several months. Americans and Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

waht
The more I think about Senator Cruz’s stunning announcement last night that he is suspending his campaign, the more brilliant I think it is. The No. 1 political handicap he had in this campaign is that people thought he was too nakedly ambitious, too laser-focused on his own advancement, as opposed to, e.g., the good of the party. But in one fell swoop last night, he managed to put paid to this idea. He could have stayed in the race and played a backroom guerrilla war for the next couple of months, delegate by delegate. But he looked at the Indiana results . . . and stepped away. In future years – and even later this year, if something cataclysmic happens to Trump and Republicans need another nominee — conservatives, and the GOP, will not remember just the Ted Cruz whose ambitions many of them distrusted earlier in the year. They will also remember the man who showed a hell of a lot of grace in bowing out. Cruz looks pretty good as Cincinnatus at the plow.Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner
