    I don’t know Milo Yiannopoulos, and I don’t really want to know him. I know he worked for Breitbart News and is a provocateur. I don’t know if Andrew Breitbart ever met him, but neither I nor any other of Andrew’s friends I know remember him mentioning Milo. When I heard Yiannopoulos was speaking at CPAC, the annual Washington conference for the conservative movement, I wasn’t surprised. I was surprised he had been selected as the keynote speaker. CPAC has problems in non-election years attracting big names in quantity. This year’s event was scheduled during a congressional recess, so even...

    Of all the public figures and Hollywood stars who’ve been using social media to protest Donald Trump and the policies of his month-old presidency, Chelsea Clinton has emerged as one of his most relentless — and possibly formidable — critics. With a mix of mild sarcasm, exasperation and humanitarian concern, the former first daughter daily delivers sharp commentary on Trump to her 1.5 million Twitter followers.

    The Democrat Party, its Media serfs, and Social Justice Incorporated are all outraged because we uppity normals are again presuming to rule ourselves, and their agony is delightful. Less delightful is how, in the process of trying to claw their way back into power, they are incinerating the norms and rules that preserve our political order. That stuff Hillary babbled about honoring the legitimacy of elections? Yeah, no. There’s an invisible asterisk only liberals can see that explains that the norms and rules are void when liberals lose.So, where does this crisis end?We know where the leftists want it to...

    Breitbart ^ | Febuary 22,2017 | Ann Coulter
    Americans thought electing a trash-talking billionaire reality TV star to the presidency of the #$%^ United States would finally be enough to convey the message that they hate both political parties. If anything, they hate Republicans more. But the Uni-Party can’t learn. The bureaucracy, the judiciary and congressional Republicans are all openly working for the “Resistance.” It’s President Trump against the world.In Congress, the hate for Trump is personal. Not only did he throw a grenade into politicians’ little do-nothing club, but his very existence destroys their self-conception as people with a set of skills. While Trump was making billions...
