This is how liberals cheat!-----Putting It to the People, Over and Over and Over :: SteynOnline
Putting It to the People, Over and Over and Over :: SteynOnline" I was struck by the placard of the Remainer at right: "Put It To The People" - ie, let's have a second referendum.
Of course, it's already been put to the people - and the people voted to leave.
At which point the losing side took the people to court, whose modish Blairite pseudo-Americanized judges ruled that only Parliament could effect withdrawal from the European Union and so, rather than putting it to the people, it had to be put to the politicians.
Hence the last three years of obstruction and subversion.
Were the Devizes Remainer to get his/her [See Dymphna Gates below] wish and have it put to the people all over again, presumably, per the "Supreme Court", that would have no more standing than the last time.
How long the people will put up with having it put to them like this is an interesting question. ..."

Surgeon General: Weed Legalization 'A Massive Public Health Experiment'
Surgeon General: Weed Legalization 'A Massive Public Health Experiment':- 'We don't know what we don't know'
"U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams called the spread of state marijuana legalization "a massive public health experiment on our citizenry."
Appearing before a hearing of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control on Wednesday, Adams emphasized that legalization has proceeded without adequate scientific evidence.
He said state lawmakers have rushed to enter the lucrative drug market despite the fact that many people do not fully understand the risks associated with marijuana use.
He highlighted the risks of marijuana use by teenagers, pregnant women, and recent mothers—all of which, he said, remain chronically under-discussed in spite of their support in the scientific literature..."

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON---Steele Dossier Traffickers Have Lost All Credibility | National Review
Steele Dossier Traffickers Have Lost All Credibility | National Review
"In 2016, Hillary Clinton presidential candidate hired an ex-intelligence officer and foreign national, British subject Christopher Steele, to use Russian sources to find dirt (“opposition research”) on her then political opponent Donald Trump.
So much for the worry about “foreign interference” in U.S. elections.
The public would take years to learn of the funding sources of Steele, because Clinton camouflaged her role through three firewalls: the Democratic National Committee; the Perkins-Coie legal firm; and Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS opposition-research firm.
Steele had collected rumor and gossip from mostly Russian sources in an effort to tar Trump as a Russian colluder and asset.
We know now that his sources were either bogus or deliberately warped by Steele himself.
Almost everything in the dossier was unverified and later was proved fanciful.
Yet with the help of high Obama administration and elected officials, the dossier’s gossip and rumor were leaked throughout the top echelons of Washington politics and the media.
Its lies spread because its chief message — Donald J. Trump was a fool, dangerous, should never be elected, and once elected had no business as president — was exactly what the establishment wished to hear.
In other words, the dossier was infectious because it was deemed both welcome and useful..."

"Is Chicago the next Detroit?
...Much as it's tempting to pile on, when it comes to the overall economic and social health of the cities and their metro areas, the answer is no.
...Chicago, once hog butcher for the world, has a diversified economy.
Detroit historically has not -- though perhaps the situation has improved in the past decade...

"YEAH, PRETTY MUCH: Iran Was Obama and Biden’s Mess, Trump is Cleaning it Up.
Flashback: Mattis: You won’t believe how Obama and Biden bungled Iraq and allowed the rise of ISIS.
Related: ‘Ignoring reality’: Biden got it wrong on Iraq, Mattis says.
“‘He was past the point where he was willing to entertain a ‘good idea.’
He didn’t want to hear more; he wanted our forces out of Iraq.
Whatever path led there fastest, he favored.
He exuded the confidence of a man whose mind was made up, perhaps even indifferent to considering the consequences were he judging the situation incorrectly.'”
Mattis winds up basically blaming Biden for the rise of ISIS, adding, “It would take many years and tens of thousands of casualties, plus untold misery for millions of innocents, to break ISIS’s geographic hold. All of this was predicted — and preventable.”--Posted by

Is It Because Criminals Are Overwhelming Black?
Is It Because Criminals Are Overwhelming Black? In Atlanta, Police Department Institutes a No-Chase Policy Toward Criminals, Effective Immediately | Blog Posts | VDARE.com
"Atlanta is the Black Mecca.
It’s a majority black city, though gentrification is civilizing once drug infested communities quickly, where criminality is almost exclusively a black vocation and avocation.
In 2018 Atlanta, the Atlanta Police Department’s Uniform Crime Report shows blacks were 10 times more likely than whites to be arrested for homicide (no one has broken down these numbers before save your friendly neighborhood realist at SBPDL).
And guess what?
The police department will no longer chase suspects (who happen to almost always be black).

Nolte: Media Hate Trump So Much, They Glorify Terrorist Qasem Soleimani
The American political media is a truly evil institution capable of anything, including the glorification of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani, a terrorist animal responsible for hundreds of American deaths.
The thing about the American media is that once you realize how evil, and I mean truly evil, the institution is, nothing surprises you anymore.

The hate laden ravings of a paranoid lunatic and it's treated with dignity by the nation's leftist press?How would the far right react to a Trump loss? Here’s a glimpse. - The Washington Post
"Many Americans are terrified of what would happen if Donald Trump won a second term in office.
But perhaps we should be nearly as scared of what will happen if he loses in November.
More specifically, a victory by Democrats at the federal and state level could produce a backlash in which Trump’s fervent supporters, not to mention those on the far-right fringe, conclude that the ordinary avenues to political influence are hopelessly corrupted and therefore other, more radical means must be employed..."
