Get Your Political Opinions 4.0 - 2018

This page was no longer going to be updated - see this page for why - but I am going to resume updating it, effective 10/15/2018.

Editor's Note: This page WAS simply meant to collect links to political articles. Each of the links on this page could have been a separate post, which would have artificially inflated the total post count on this blog. The following guiding principles have been established for this page:
  • This is a page with blind links. I often used the title of the article so the decision can be made whether to click the link or not. If it looks interesting, click it.
  • This is a page that sometimes has a date of publication next to a link. When it was available, it will be included. Also, the articles were arranged with the most recently added link at the top of the list for the month.
  • This was not a "fair and balanced" page. There was no attempt whatsoever on my part to have an equal number of "conservative" links and "liberal" links on this page. While I often align myself with Conservative values, there are some issues where the Conservatives have it wrong.

  2. Lisa Boothe on Trump's Iraq Visit: He 'Just Can't Win - Ever - With the Media'
    She said Trump was prematurely criticized for not taking the trip on Christmas, and then when he did make the trip, he was panned over his speech to soldiers. "President Trump just can't win, ever, with the media," she said.

  11. There It Is: Left-Wing Entertainer Offers the Worst Defense of Abortion Ever
    • The moral bankruptcy of those who fervently defend the right to dismember baby humans in the sanctuary of their mother’s womb is well established. But sometimes it can slip from the public consciousness how willing abortion apologists are to intellectually beclown themselves for the cause.
      That’s why it’s nice to have those like former TV host turned left-wing commentator John Fugelsang to remind us all.
  12. Email from Erick Erickson
    • Good morning,
      Stacey Abrams has fallen short of 17,594 votes she needs to make it into a runoff with Brian Kemp and has fallen short of the 54,801 votes she would need to win out right. So Abrams' campaign intends to file a lawsuit to have the entire election thrown out and started over. I was an elections lawyer who defended elections in the state of Georgia. Here's why she will not succeed.
      This is unheard of at the state level and will probably be swiftly kicked out of court for a variety of reasons. The Abrams campaign is relying on a statute that says a new election can occur for "misconduct, fraud or irregularities ... sufficient to change or place in doubt the results.” Case law in Georgia does not support her claim. I have actually defended elections in Georgia under this standard and it is extremely difficult for Abrams to meet.
      The reason it is extremely difficult for Abrams to meet is because Georgia and federal case law presume no election is run smoothly. Every single election has problems. On top of that, in Georgia each county conducts its own elections. The Secretary of State of Georgia does not actually conduct the elections unlike the Abrams claim. Technically, Abrams will need to show flaws in each county, not just cumulatively, because she is dealing with 159 county boards of elections.
      Under Georgia case law, she will need to begin with a mathematical formula for election irregularity. Keep reading…
      All the best,

  13. Disney World Caved to Union Wage Hike Demands, and Guess What Happened?
    • The most recent example of the consequences associated with failure to comprehend basic economics is unfolding in the vacation capital of the world, Walt Disney World.
      The fan site, WDW Magic announced the news yesterday:
      “Automated PhotoPass coming to Walt Disney World meet and greets.”
      If you’ve never actually put your marriage to the ultimate test by draining your life savings and taking your family to Disney World for a week, you may not have any idea what that bit of news means.

    • Having forsaken tips to run for office, former bartender Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has housing worries...One of the requirements of being a member of the House of Representatives is being able to get to the Capitol to do your job when your term begins. That's in Washington D.C. not Queens. According to a New York Times Article, this could be an obstacle for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez...In the saccharine and adoring New York Times profile after her all but assured election, Ocasio Cortez seems convinced that her win signals some kind of far Left Progressive mandate nationwide. It's kind of adorable since far Left candidates didn't do so well outside of deep blue urban districts like hers.
  21. Where Do we go when Journalism fails Us?
  22. Democratic House threatens Trump's business agenda Democrats' capture of the U.S. House is expected to complicate President Trump's push to negotiate new trade deals and cut regulations, the Wall Street Journal writes. Expect Dems to seek tax increases - including a hike in the corporate tax rate - as part of a budget deal, while attempting to block efforts to make individual income tax cuts passed last year permanent, economists and policy analysts say. While the party will challenge Mr. Trump on military spending and foreign business dealings, his executive power will frustrate any effort to control trade power, notes CNBC. "On trade, it's going to be the same, if not worse, in terms of U.S.-China," Steven Okun, senior advisor at McLarty Associates, told the network.

    Meanwhile, in Des Moines, Republicans will continue to set the tone after Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds' election to her first full term, and her party hung onto control of both the House and Senate. "What it tells me is people are happy with what we are doing in Iowa at the state level," said State Senate President Charles Schneider. Republicans will gain three seats in the Senate to hold a 32-18 advantage if unofficial results stand, while maintaining a 54-46 margin in the House. The Republican majorities will prevent Democrats from overturning recent legislation that took away most collective bargaining rights, as well as a package of state tax cuts and major changes in the workers' compensation system, the Register notes.

  4. No President Has the Power to Do This
    • A comment from this article:
      • No, the President doesn't have this power and yes, the Constitution should've been amended to correct this deliberate miss-translation a century ago.
        But this argument that we can't charge illegal immigrants for crimes in the United States is for schmucks. If an illegal crosses the border to go an emergency room, we have no choice but to treat them. If they apply for welfare, food stamps and driver's licenses, we have to take care of them, the Supreme Court says, there can be no discrimination. If they want to enroll in public schools, not only are we forced to accept them, but we'll even hire a Spanish language instructor to teach them in their native language. But if five of them gang rape two underage American girls for four hours before strangling them with belts and then steals their watches to give as presents to their girlfriends, we can't put them in the electric chair because they're not US citizens? !Pierdase!

  12. Toward Creating a Trans Literary Canon
    • This fall, I’m teaching a course titled “Masculinity in Literature.” The small seminar is attended by men, all in their twenties, earning their college degrees while incarcerated. Before we began our discussion of Leslie Feinberg’s Stone Butch Blues—perhaps the only “canonical” trans book, if such a thing as a trans canon can be said to exist—we generated a partial list of gender terminology: transgender, transsexual, agender, two-spirit, trans woman, bigender, trans man, FTM, MTF, boi, femme, soft butch, cisgender. The students already knew, at least in rough contours, how these terms were used. They weren’t contentious. What was contentious: man and woman, and the course’s undergirding premise that reading texts about masculinity that have nothing to do with cisgender, heterosexual, white men can teach us a good deal about masculinities. As the discussion progressed, our collective sense of what determines “masculinity” and “maleness” decalcified. One student grew impatient. “Words have to mean something,” he said. “Being a man means something.” He wasn’t frustrated with the abstract possibilities of fluidity, with the notion that some people are trans, or with the idea that identification is not a given. Rather, his concern was that, if gender identity is mutable for others, then what does that mean for him, an adult man who has never questioned his gender? That is, if we refuse the idea of biological essentialism—if “men” and “women” are more than the sum of genitals, secondary sex characteristics, and chromosomes—what does that do to the definition of his own maleness?

      On October 21, the New York Times published a piece titled, “‘Transgender’ Could Be Defined Out of Existence Under Trump Administration.” The thrust of the article: the Trump administration may move toward defining gender as biological, immutable, and essentially determined by genitalia at birth, and transgender people could face a terrifying curtailing of civil protections and recognition as a result. As many people have said, such a move misunderstands the distinctions between gender and sex, and is viciously mean-spirited, a pathetic attempt to shore up support from a base whose hatred of “identity politics” manifests, paradoxically, as the inability to disconnect from them. In some ways, the redefinition under consideration by the Trump administration is what my student was arguing for: a coherent, unswerving, unshakable definition of gender that leaves no room for debate or deviance. You’re either a girl or you’re a boy, and how you feel about that is immaterial. Those words, and those roles, are left unexamined.

      But that’s not how my conversation with this student ended. He didn’t define me out of his reality, or choose to see the inconvenience of my trans body, my self, as a challenge to him and to the way he has, for the last two decades, understood the world. He tried, instead, to work toward a definition of gender by which our different truths wouldn’t invalidate one another.

  22. Dear Mr. Trump: I'm Transgender And I Have A Few Things I Want You To Know
    • From the above link, I read this and thought, "Uh, yeah, I think it does make you male." That's what I don't get. The Liberals are the party of "science" but still claim that if I have boy parts, I can call myself a girl and if I have girl parts, I can call myself a boy. Flat-out, you either have a pole or a cave. There is a small percentage that have both so I'm aware of people - and I do  think they are people. Flat-out, I don't feel the need to share what I do in my bedroom and I don't feel the need to endorse what you do in your bedroom. Stop making me endorse or approve or make choices based upon what Ben Shapiro calls "a mental illness."
    • And I get it - I'm in the minority. This is what I entered in Google - ben shapiro transgender mental illness- and the top 5 results are about arguing against Shapiro's position, as shown below:

    Really? It's called the "anti-abortion" movement? Why not be honest and call it the "pro-life" movement, as it has always been called? Personally, I find "pro-choice" to be offensive and misleading - where is the 'choice' for the baby inside the mother's womb?!?
    So I will tread lightly. I find Sam Bee to be offensive in just seeing the promos for her Full Frontal TV show, but, at the same time, I know when President Obama was in office, there were political jokes made about him. My mother-in-law said that Republicans were nicer to Obama than Democrats are to Trump, but I am not entirely on-board with that statement. I think Repubs were mean to O and Dems being mean to T is a 'don't dish it out unless you can take it back' kind of a thing.

Everything’s an -ism. Sexism, racism, genderism, sizeism, you name it. Everybody’s feelings are so damn sensitive. People just need to get over it. Conservatives walk around in a state of perpetual rage about this. But the second they have a chance to use the grievance industry for their own purposes, they pounce.

      Corbett sues to stay in gubernatorial race - After saying on Tuesday he would not contest a state panel's 2-1 decision to remove him from the Republican primary ballot, former Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett called a news conference Wednesday to announce a lawsuit he hopes will keep him in the race to unseat Gov. Kim Reynolds, reports Radio Iowa. "This is about being treated fairly and there's something just in my gut that tells me this isn't right," said the former House speaker, blasting "the Republican establishment" for challenging his paperwork. The State Objection Panel found that Mr. Corbett submitted 3,997 valid signatures on his nomination petition - eight short of the required number, reports the Des Moines Register. Arguing he's being penalized for his campaign's "over-diligence" in crossing off "legal and valid names," Mr. Corbett is seeking an expedited hearing. Ballots must be printed soon for early voting starting in May.

    25. HILLARY: I 'MEANT NO DISRESPECT': Hillary Clinton attempted to explain her comments about American voters and the 2016 election during a recent trip to India in a lengthy Facebook post that claimed she "meant no disrespect to any individual or group." ... Clinton told attendees at a conference in Mumbai that Americans did not "deserve" a Trump presidency, said she won the states "that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward," and said that Trump's campaign was "looking backwards." Clinton summed up Trump's message as "you know, you didn't like black people getting rights, you don't like women, you know, getting jobs. You don't want, you know, to see that Indian American succeeding more than you are." In her Facebook message, Clinton said she understood the uproar over her comments, but she did not back away from them. "I understand how some of what I said upset people and can be misinterpreted," she wrote. "I meant no disrespect to any individual or group. And I want to look to the future as much as anybody."

        • It’s been a lot quieter since last year when his march to a state championship was dogged by a last-minute lawsuit that tried to stop him. 
          • Beggs had asked to wrestle in the boys’ division, but the rules for Texas public high schools require athletes to compete under the gender on their birth certificate.

    1. THE LEAD STORY - A 'NEW AMERICAN MOMENT' UNDER TRUMP: President Trump appealed for common ground in the immigration debate at his first State of the Union address Tuesday night, while holding firm on his demands for border security and using the grand setting to tout his economic accomplishments and declare, "there's never been a better time to start living the American dream" ... At a critical time when the political divide over immigration has held up essential government funding, the president called to put politics aside and "get the job done." "Tonight, I am extending an open hand to work with members of both parties -- Democrats and Republicans -- to protect our citizens of every background, color, religion, and creed," he said. It remains unclear whether Democrats are ready to make a deal on immigration, but the issue could hang over a looming Feb. 8 deadline to pass a new spending bill.
    2. South Carolina Republican Trey Gowdy, a key member of the House Intelligence and Oversight committees, said Wednesday he will leave Congress at the end of this term. The four-term congressman said he does not intend to seek another elected office. Gowdy released a statement on his decision, which stated in part: "Words cannot adequately express my gratitude to the people of South Carolina for the privilege of representing them in the House of Representatives. The Upstate of South Carolina has an incredible depth and breadth of assets including numerous women and men capable of representing us. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to serve in the People's House and—prior to Congress—to advocate on behalf of justice in our court systems. "I will not be filing for re-election to Congress nor seeking any other political or elected office; instead I will be returning to the justice system. Whatever skills I may have are better utilized in a courtroom than in Congress, and I enjoy our justice system more than our political system. As I look back on my career, it is the jobs that both seek and reward fairness that are most rewarding." This is a developing story. Check back for updates. More

        • The shooter is 15 years old and obviously came by the gun illegally and the left has finally figured out, despite their best efforts, America has the intelligence to figure these things out on our own
        • Like you said, the liberal media has decided to lay low on these incidents until they have control of Congress. That wouldn't be collusion, would it?

    Special Section - Oprah's Speech Transcript

    "Thank you, Reese. In 1964, I was a little girl sitting on the linoleum floor of my mother's house in Milwaukee watching Anne Bancroft present the Oscar for best actor at the 36th academy awards. She opened the envelope and said five words that literally made history:"The winner is Sidney Poitier. Up to the stage came the most elegant man I ever remembered. His tie was white, his skin was black -- and he was being celebrated. I'd never seen a black man being celebrated like that. I tried many, many times to explain what a moment like that means to a little girl, a kid watching from the cheap seats as my mom came through the door bone tired from cleaning other people's houses. But all I can do is quote and say that the explanation in Sidney's performance in Lilies of the Field: Amen, amen, amen, amen. In 1982, Sidney received the Cecil B. DeMille award right here at the Golden Globes and it is not lost on me that at this moment, there are some little girls watching as I become the first black woman to be given this same award. It is an honor -- it is an honor and it is a privilege to share the evening with all of them and also with the incredible men and women who have inspired me, who challenged me, who sustained me and made my journey to this stage possible. Dennis Swanson who took a chance on me for A.M. Chicago. Saw me on the show and said to Steven Spielberg, she's Sophia in The Color Purple. Gayle who's been a friend and Stedman who's been my rock. I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. We know the press is under siege these days. We also know it's the insatiable dedication to uncovering the absolute truth that keeps us from turning a blind eye to corruption and to injustice. To -- to tyrants and victims, and secrets and lies. I want to say that I value the press more than ever before as we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this. What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I'm especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories. Each of us in this room are celebrated because of the stories that we tell, and this year we became the story. But it's not just a story affecting the entertainment industry. It's one that transcends any culture, geography, race, religion, politics, or workplace. So I want tonight to express gratitude to all the women who have endured years of abuse and assault because they, like my mother, had children to feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue. They're the women whose names we'll never know. They are domestic workers and farm workers. They are working in factories and they work in restaurants and they're in academia, engineering, medicine, and science. They're part of the world of tech and politics and business. They're our athletes in the olympics and they're our soldiers in the military. And there's someone else, Recy Taylor, a name I know and I think you should know, too. In 1944, Recy Taylor was a young wife and mother walking home from a church service she'd attended in Abbeville, Alabama, when she was abducted by six armed white men, raped, and left blindfolded by the side of the road coming home from church. They threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone, but her story was reported to the NAACP where a young worker by the name of Rosa Parks became the lead investigator on her case and together they sought justice. But justice wasn't an option in the era of Jim Crow. The men who tried to destroy her were never persecuted. Recy Taylor died ten days ago, just shy of her 98th birthday. She lived as we all have lived, too many years in a culture broken by brutally powerful men. For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up. Their time is up. And I just hope -- I just hope that Recy Taylor died knowing that her truth, like the truth of so many other women who were tormented in those years, and even now tormented, goes marching on. It was somewhere in Rosa Parks' heart almost 11 years later, when she made the decision to stay seated on that bus in Montgomery, and it's here with every woman who chooses to say, "Me too." And every man -- every man who chooses to listen. In my career, what I've always tried my best to do, whether on television or through film, is to say something about how men and women really behave. To say how we experience shame, how we love and how we rage, how we fail, how we retreat, persevere, and how we overcome. I've interviewed and portrayed people who've withstood some of the ugliest things life can throw at you, but the one quality all of them seem to share is an ability to maintain hope for a brighter morning, even during our darkest nights. So I want all the girls watching here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say "Me too" again."
