Every once in a while they get one right.
Another bon mot from Stink Regress.
Charlie: When I was a little girl, my mother spoke of a prophecy, of a time when all the world would be covered in darkness and the fate of mankind would be decided. One night I finally got the courage to ask my mother, why God was so mad at His children. “I don’t know,” she said tucking the covers around me, “I guess He just got tired of all the bullshit.”
From the movie LEGION
Bravo to your comment!
Regarding the pilot light: I’m forecasting record Republican turnout for the election. Maybe Californians will even elect a Republican governor. I assume most people there are sick of paying so much taxes.
That’s exactly what the districts did to defeat the Capitol in the Hunger Games.
Can God forgive that?
whatever ignites it, it will play out as Rwanda.

Soros and his kin will be so happy.
Brett is the GOPe's boy.
So they will fight for him.
And we will fight for him.
But when a non-GOPe candidate is the target they will bravely join the lynch mob.
Yeah, I support him in the interest of fairness and because I don't want to hand the democrats a victory. But I do so in the full knowledge that this support will not be reciprocated. The GOPe has NO qualms about handing the democrats a victory.
I support him.
I guess.
If I must.
Kavanaugh is better than Kennedy, so at least it is a gain.

Hewitt is a little, no a lot, short on his American history re “McCarthyism” and “Hollywood Reds” in this piece.
First of all, McCarthy, who was a nasty, ambitious piece of work, had his information researched and documented before anyone appeared before him.
Read the masterful book by my late friend and journalism mentor M. Stanton Evans, “Blacklisted By History: The Untold Story of Sen. Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies”,(Three Rivers Press, 2007) about what the McCarthy investigations were really about.
I watched and at one time assisted Stan in understanding some government documents he had found because they were confusing to those who didn’t know how they were put together. (I had been working with those kinds of documents for years as part of my professional research on government operations).
Stan was a very good journalist so that is why I recommend his book.
As for Hollywood’s Communist writers, see my former editor, Alan Ryskind’s very interesting book, “Hollywood Traitors”, about 2014. It is the story of his late father (Morrie Ryskind, famed screenwriter - Marx Brothers, etc), and his leading efforts to drive out the Communist Party attempted takeover of the Screen Writers Guild and impart the “Party Line, pro-Stalin propaganda” in their scripts.
Ronald Reagan led the fight, along with John Wayne and other patriots, to stop the CPUSA from trying to take over the Screen ACTORS Guild, and were condemned unjustly by the Liberal Left for doing so. In the end, Reagan and his band of patriots were proven right, even if only by the admission of the “Hollywood Commissar” John Howard Lawson (CPUSA and Soviet agent), that Reagan and company were right in their assessment of the Communist/Soviet threat.[Also see the numerous House Committee on Un-American Activities Committee hearings and reports on communist penetration of Hollywood and “The Entertainment Industry” (the latter targeting New York).
IF Hugh Hewitt reads these two books, I am sure that he will do a reassessment of his statements in this column and come out with a much more realistic appraisal of McCarthy, Hollywood writers, etc for the periods under consideration.
After all, history is always amendable for revisions and updating due to new materials/information, except for the Reds who never want to correct their Stalinist/Ho Chi Minh/Maoist propaganda tomes.
You're right. Unfortunately, if Trump had picked what you or I would consider an ideal nominee for the Supreme Court, the GOP establishment would stand by and let the Democrats tear him to shreds. Kavanaugh is mainstream enough to get people like Linda Graham go up to bat for him, which is unfortunately what we need to push this through to confirmation.
I read "Blacklisted by History" a couple of years ago. Basically, all the guys who were accused of being communists by McCarthy defended themselves by saying "it's not true". That was it. The Tydings committee thanked them for their testimony. I have another book by Evans on the communists in FDR's administration (Stalin's Secret Agents), which I have yet to read.
About 10 or more years ago, I read an interesting book on Hollywood called "The Hollywood Party", which gave a good rundown of commie infestation of Hollywood. One thing I always find amusing is that whenever someone does a documentary about a blacklisted Hollywood writer, director or actor (Dalton Trumbo,Edward Dmytryk, et al), they always refer to the person as having been "accused of being a communist sympathizer". They never mention that the person in question was a card-carrying party member.
And while I was not thrilled with his nomination but what is done is done. He is the pick and while my support is of the "Hope he is better then what he is replacing" variety I still will support him.
I support him in any way I can now because he is under fire. And you NEVER send a man out and then fail to support him when he is under fire. Especially this kind of heavy fire.
Not unless your last name is Clinton or Obama.
The Editor-in-Chief must have been passed out from too much booze.
