J. Soden writes, “Excellent David French article in Wednesday’s National Review Online.”
French says the answer to all of the division in our nation is a strong federalism in which California can be California and Tennessee and be Tennessee while both live within the limits of the Constitution. He points to California as an example of “soft secession.”
California is violating fundamental constitutional rights at the same time that it tries to use its economic power to coerce other states to adopt its social policies. To Golden State progressives, California should be California, and Tennessee should be California.
Isn’t that the very essence of every progressive? They always want others to conform and bend to their will. They are the most oppressive of human being I’ve ever encountered.
Good read, J!
ANTIFA Plans To Burn Confederate Flags During the 154th Anniversary Celebration of the Battle of Gettysburg.

ANTIFA and “white privilege”.
Nazi Germany and “Juden”.
SOS, DD.
The only way to equate a fascist with an anti-fascist is by completely ignoring the meaning of both words.
You all are getting sooooooooo good at that.
Problem Libby.
ANTIFA wouldn’t know a fascist if it tripped over one, mostly because it’s members are fascist thinkers themselves.
You don;t recognize it i yiur own thinking so busy are you projecting.
I will never understand this attitude. Jack, nobody is trying to drag you off the the abortion clinic. Entirely the opposite, in fact, and it’s your side that is culpable for this atrocious meddling in other peoples’ lives.
I hear that Netflix’s Handmaid’s Tale is making quite an impression on the youngsters. They watch it … and then they take note of “Mother Pence” and “Father Pence”; they take note of little Scotty Pruitt happily dismantling the EPA … and they go … Uh-Oh.
Yep those little red diaper doper babies will always follow their parents into an imagined state of Nirvana. Others, brain washed in our education indoctrination camps also fall in line.
Some, quite a few actually, are waking to the reality of Venezuela and other hell holes of state control and moral depravity once they hit thirty or so.
In a free market situation ignorant pro-abortion (baby killer) zealots will have a place to operate at least for now. Since the trumped up Roe v Wade case it’s the law. They just won’t be able to grab copious amounts of tax dollars to pay for them. Imagine people will actually pay for the services they want themselves…what a novel idea!
And you? You will just have to suffer the frustration and anger.
As to the climate scare…tough beans! The climate changes, the earth renews, cleanses and refreshes itself. The people of America are already doing what they can to clean up polluting operations. We advise other nations to do the same.
Did you know that in a so-called rising sea a new little island off the coast of the Carolina’s appeared recently? It’s a temporary thing but poor Al Gore…his rising ocean levels lie is turned on it’s head by nature’s own set of rules.
The handmaids Tale is making an impression. And that is good.
They say liberty and Justice for all then try to invoke their views on all.
Well look here, there are liberals who are waking up to the hypocrisy of the Obamas and the life-style of the socialist elites. While others like Libs are happy to have what the elites give them or allow them to keep. They’ve forgotten what they have is already theirs and doesn’t belong to the gov’t.
Obamas under fire from the left for never ending, sizzling ultra-luxury vacations:
“The Democratic base is growing increasingly frustrated with former President Barack Obama’s actions after leaving office, including a seemingly endless tour of millionaire and billionaire luxury retreats, according to Democrats and activists contacted by Fox News.
Ex-presidents, understandably and un-controversially, go on vacations immediately after leaving office. But the level of luxury the Obamas enjoy on their vacations is unprecedented for a modern-day president, say travel experts.

Since leaving office in late January, Obama has visited late actor Marlon Brando’s private island; the Four Seasons in Bali — where rooms cost upward of $2,000 per night; a Palm Springs estate; Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island; the exclusive Mid Pacific Country Club in Oahu; the 13th-century Borgo Finocchieto in Tuscany; and the Rising Sun, Hollywood studio mogul David Geffen’s private yacht.
“These are some of the most luxurious travel destinations in the world. Many of our clients spend tens of thousands of dollars or more to stay at these resorts, which cater to the most discriminating and demanding guests,” said Kendra Thornton, travel expert and owner of luxury travel agency Royal Travel. “For example, Necker Island has a nightly price tag of $80,000. Anyone who stays at these properties does so because they want the best of the best.”

“… say travel experts.”
What’s a travel expert? You sure it isn’t just Fox saying that?
Besides, I thought you approved of the mega-rich wallowing in it? You all are not being very consistent. The poor O-man seems to be the exception to ALL your rules. I wonder why?
Travel Agent Kendra Thornton is absolutely right.
And I speak as one of those experts with 21+ years as a successful travel agent, and surviving countless airfare wars!
From what I’ve seen here, Libby is only an expert at running off at the mouth (or keyboard . . . . . . )
“What’s a travel expert? You sure it isn’t just Fox saying that?”
Do bother with the details before posting…
“These are some of the most luxurious travel destinations in the world.

Oh, and you also seem to have missed this too:
“The Democratic base is growing increasingly frustrated with former President Barack Obama’s actions after leaving office, including a seemingly endless tour of millionaire and billionaire luxury retreats, according to Democrats and activists contacted by Fox News.
Fox News contacted the Borgo Finocchieto hotel. It’s actually not really a hotel, at least of the kind ordinary travelers come to expect. It’s a restored medieval hamlet with five villas and 22 bedrooms that can only be rented for a three-day minimum, in its entirety. Obama touched down at a nearby airport in a private jet escorted by six Eurofighter jets from the Italian Air Force. Presumably, the former president scored a deal on the stay since the Borgo Finocchieto is owned by one of his appointees, the former Italy Ambassador John Phillips.
“These trips are like the lifestyles of the rich and famous,” said Democratic strategist Pat Caddell. The former adviser to ex-President Jimmy Carter believes that President Obama’s vacations are unprecedented, and a far cry from how Carter spent his first few months out of office.
“I think the Bernie Sanders wing of the party, when they see President Obama, whom they instinctively want to defend being the corporatist president, I think it makes the base uneasy,” said Caddell.
Left-wing activists told Fox News they are troubled by what they see as a trend by Obama to distance himself from the base of the party. It’s not just vacations. The president also has enjoyed hefty fees for speeches to prominent Wall Street firms. It’s all part of a trend, they say, of Obama trying to join the fabled 1 percent.

Good thing 37 states are teaching Trump and Kris Kobach a lesson about federalism right now by refusing to go along with their “voter fraud investigation” sham. Kobach investigated voter fraud in Kansas and found less than twenty incidents in a ten-year time frame, yet still claims there is massive voter fraud in the US. Some of the voter information he asked states to send him isn’t even legal to send.
Kobach’s crosscheck was the crime of the election.
But Realize Chris the DNC used a crosscheck in the primaries manipulating the NPG Van Data. That is evident in the leaked files. Documented.
There is a reason the DNC does not call out the GOP on this fake voter fraud. Also remember the Republicans said they would fix it so a Democrat never wins again several times in public during the elections.
There is no significant voter fraud. There is massive Election Fraud preformed by both parties.
I said the party that cheats the best will win the election and I was right.
The last lawsuit standing? We can only hope the judge allows it to get to discovery. Funny how 3 people are now dead in FL. Has the Judge been compromised?
