Sue The Bas%$^%$!

That is the title of their blog post. Good read. I've always admired Mr Hinderaker's reasoning. 

I hope something favorable to the kids and their families can come from good legal representation. 

SUE THE Bas%$^%$

"... Where do you go when the whole world seems to be against you? You hire a lawyer. Which is what some of the Covington kids’ families reportedly have done. For whatever reason, intolerant liberals on Twitter are frantically  deleting tweets denouncing the innocent Covington kids, and in some cases calling for violence against them. Maybe they are just embarrassed at being caught red-handed, lying and purveying hate. But when has that ever embarrassed a liberal?...."

The 'Gilets Jaunes' Are Unstoppable: "Now, The Elites Are Afraid"

This article is about the yellow-vest protests in France which are spreading elsewhere. It is excellent enumerating issues causing protests so recommended reading if you have time. 

The 'Gilets Jaunes' Are Unstoppable: "Now, The Elites Are Afraid"

Authored by Christophe Guilluy via Spiked-Online.com,  Source:ZeroHedge.com

".... spiked: What role has the liberal metropolitan elite played in this?

Guilluy: We have a new bourgeoisie, but because they are very cool and progressive, it creates the impression that there is no class conflict anymore. It is really difficult to oppose the hipsters when they say they care about the poor and about minorities.

But actually, they are very much complicit in relegating the working classes to the sidelines. Not only do they benefit enormously from the globalised economy, but they have also produced a dominant cultural discourse which ostracises working-class people. Think of the ‘deplorables’ evoked by Hillary Clinton. There is a similar view of the working class in France and Britain. They are looked upon as if they are some kind of Amazonian tribe. The problem for the elites is that it is a very big tribe.

The middle-class reaction to the yellow vests has been telling. Immediately, the protesters were denounced as xenophobes, anti-Semites and homophobes. The elites present themselves as anti-fascist and anti-racist but this is merely a way of defending their class interests. It is the only argument they can muster to defend their status, but it is not working anymore.

Now the elites are afraid. For the first time, there is a movement which cannot be controlled through the normal political mechanisms. The gilets jaunes didn’t emerge from the trade unions or the political parties. It cannot be stopped. There is no ‘off’ button. Either the intelligentsia will be forced to properly acknowledge the existence of these people, or they will have to opt for a kind of soft totalitarianism.

A lot has been made of the fact that the yellow vests’ demands vary a great deal. But above all, it’s a demand for democracy. Fundamentally, they are democrats – they want to be taken seriously and they want to be integrated into the economic order.

spiked: How can we begin to address these demands?

Guilluy: First of all, the bourgeoisie needs a cultural revolution, particularly in universities and in the media. They need to stop insulting the working class, to stop thinking of all the gilets jaunes as imbeciles.

Cultural respect is fundamental: there will be no economic or political integration until there is cultural integration. Then, of course, we need to think differently about the economy. That means dispensing with neoliberal dogma. We need to think beyond Paris, London and New York."

Apologies Roll In For Catholic School Protesters As Fuller Picture Of Events Emerges

Several articles on this issue. Apparently there was a media pile on before full analysis of the video was analyzed. Second article was written by an attorney who viewed several videos and provides a very balanced analysis of events with continuing updates. Worth the read. 

As always you decide. I'm sad for the students that all this happened.

Attorney Robert Barnes: I Will Represent Pro-Life Catholic Children FOR FREE If They Sue NY Times Hack Haberman

Unsure if or whom they've retained as counsel but am glad there are persons acting in their behalf. It's really sad that the media rushes to judgment before researching and reporting events as they took place instead of agenda.

Examples of Serious Crimes By Illegal Aliens

I found this site while watching a video that flashed it across the screen. Lots of tragic stories. Looks like it's a humanitarian issue on our side of the border with our own citizens being killed or irreparably harmed by those who should not be here, many of whom have been deported multiple times.

We Have A Border Crisis (meme)

Something to ponder. How did things automatically change, or were the other presidents simply trying to placate citizens while rolling out globalism and open borders under the radar? My take is just that.

I'll CRY if I WANT to. @JennyHatch

Just as everyone thought go behind the Pres Trump's back with NATO when he has reservations about continuing with that alliance.  He's thinking of the cost to taxpayers, they're thinking of undercutting him in any way they can. No telling what the stopover in Egypt and then on to Afghanistan was in their scheming pea brains.
