From the people who brought you "Recovery Summer"
I've seen emails from Democrats calling for a Resistance Summer.
It's from the same people who had Recovery Summer starting in 2009.
Which featured very little recovery.
I expect very little real resistance this summer.

Divided we stand, united we fall
Mark Steyn looks at the establishment's new favorite term - sowing division - after the Manchester bombing.
When death stalks the land, make no mistake: He may look like a grim reaper, but he's really a grim sower. An entire sowing bee of experts has so decreed. Indeed, in their warnings about sowing division, our betters are so non-divided that they give off the faintly creepy whiff of fellows all reading off the same cue card helpfully biked round to them by the Central Commissar ten minutes after the "incident" occurred.
You non-experts might think this a fairly crude sleight of hand - that concerns about "division" is a not so subtle way of suggesting that the real problem isn't guys like Salman Abedi waiting with his nail bomb at the exit to the pop concert, but divisive types like you querying whether it's prudent to keep importing more and more Islam into the western world. Well, screw you: if you disagree that the real danger here is the sowing of division, you're just sowing even more division.

The Crying Game
Instapundit has a perfect response for reports of crying around Hillary Clinton since the election.
To be fair, that’s how it would be if she had won, too.

The Nashville Predators have advanced to the Stanley Cup Final.
They will know their opponent later tonight.
They know they have home games next weekend, but don't know who will be singing the national anthem.
Doubt it will be the guy who complained about being replaced by the star-studded lineup as the playoffs progressed.

Carry on until the next attack
Mark Steyn does not have kind words for European leaders after the latest attack - this time after a concert in Manchester.
"Carry on" is a very British expression. One thinks of the famous scene in one of the most famous of the Carry On comedies, Carry On Up The Khyber, surely the most insightful film ever made about Afghanistan: as you'll recall, the revolting Khasi of Khalabar grows ever more enraged at the British Governor's refusal to let the shelling and destruction of Government House disrupt his dinner party. Even when the Khasi has the main course replaced with the head of a decapitated fakir, Her Majesty's viceroy declines to let his eye be caught by these vulgar attention-seeking jihadists. The film received unenthusiastic reviews from London critics in 1968. One would not have predicted that half-a-century later it would be official British policy on the home front.

Top of the mountain
The Jeffersoniad does some blasting - of Tom Perriello supporters trying to ride anti-pipeline fervor to victory in the Democratic primary.
The Soros-set would have you believe that Kim Jong Un is the master engineer for this project. The reality is that Thomas Jefferson was more destructive at Monticello leveling the top of that mountain than Dominion will be for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.
How about a row of windmills along the proposed path of the pipeline?
Would that make the protesters happy?
Doubt it.

Trust the people who know the land
The Weather Channel highlights a poll where you can tell thoughts on global warming based on where people live.
It shows the divide of how people believe humans are the primary cause of global warming.
But in the Deep South, Midwest, Plains and intermountain West, most counties lean in the opposite direction and believe humans aren't the primary cause of global warming
What do those areas have in common?
People who work on the land.
Whose livelihood depends on good weather and understanding the local climate.
People who are closest to nature.
Maybe we should trust their opinion.

What do they know and when will they tell us?
Ace describes the problem now for anti-Trump partisans -now that there's a special counsel, what happens if Trump did nothing illegal?
They also use the very vague word "collusion" to mask the fact they have no idea what Trump and Putin "colluded" about, or how. What quid pro quo are they alleging? How was this contract formed? Who negotiated this contract?
They have no idea, because they don't even really believe such a thing happened.
If they really believed such things happened, they would specifically say "Trump Aide X, with Trump's knowledge and permission, negotiated to trade American policy Y to Russia in exchange for Russian act Z."

Aborting chances for Democrats
Remember when the pro-life side was supposed to doom Republicans to years out of power?
Instead, it's the abortion rights crew that wants to split apart Democrats.
You may have seen their ads on Blue Virginia attacking Bernie Sanders on abortion which seem grossly irrelevant to the current governor’s race. The apparent relationship however is that Bernie Sanders recently joined with John Podesta, Elizabeth Warren and dozens of Obama alums in endorsing Tom Perriello for Governor. But for some reason, as the Democratic party continues to join together against Donald Trump and his neo-crazy agenda, NARAL-VA appears to be more interested in re-litigating Bernie Sanders.
Keep up the good work.

Legal Insurrection found a quickly disappearing - but on the mark - take by Pizza Hut in Israel on the hunger strike by some Palestinians.
Until they think they can sneak a candy bar.
In the ad, which it posted on its Facebook page and later deleted, the pizza chain put a banner in Hebrew over a screenshot from a clip released by the Israel Prisons Service on Sunday of Barghouti eating. It read, “Barghouti, if you are already going to break the hunger strike, isn’t pizza better?”
The ad also included a photoshopped Pizza Hut box on the floor of the prison cell, as well as a piece of pizza in the sink.

New conspiracy theory
With the firing of James Comey, my brother brought up an interesting fact - Comey's parents attended his wedding.
He told mom and dad they met the Comeys going through the reception line.
It jogged my memory.
I remember going up to Mr. Comey and saying "If your son ever has the chance to help Donald Trump become President, he should do it."
Not likely, you say?
Think I'm making it up?
It's still a better conspiracy theory than the ones Democrats have been peddling for six months.

It's still a better conspiracy theory than the ones Democrats have been peddling for six months.

Meat the resistance
Paco has had enough of former President Obama speeches on food.
When normal people think of cows, they think "Ummm, delicious beef!" Barry only smells cow farts.
Damn the methane, full speed ahead!

It's the end of the world and they know it
Kurt Schlichter lowers the boom on whiny liberals yet again.
Because, for Democrats trying to appeal to their Party’s base of unaccomplished coastal snobs and indolent, welfare-grifting morons, Armageddon is always just around the corner whenever conservatives do anything. Or whenever conservatives don’t do anything. It’s sort of, “heads you lose, tails you also lose, now give us more power and all your money.”

Time to grow up
Fausta has some advice for those really needing advice.
Some steps are easier than others: Making your bed every day, for instance. That doesn’t mean they are not important. Indeed, Admiral William H. McRaven (U.S. Navy Retired) has a best-selling book based on his speech, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World that begins by explaining why it is important to start your day with a task – i.e., making your bed – completed. Admiral McRaven learned that as part of his Navy Seals training. Socio-economist Randall Bell found that multi-millionaires make their beds, too.
That is what “adulting” is really about: Getting up every day and completing the tasks that bring meaning to our lives without neglecting the necessary daily chores that maintain us healthy (physically, mentally and financially) and grounded.

Step one
The House barely passed an Obamacare repeal and replace law Thursday.
Worthy of celebration, as the first step back from eight years of bad decisions on healthcare.

Bank on this
Powerline tries to instruct the Associated Press on how President Trump views regulations.
I don’t know whether restoring something approximating the Glass-Steagall separation between commercial and investment banking is a good idea or not. Some conservatives and some liberals favor it. It would, indeed, result in the breakup of some of America’s largest banks.
Dodd-Frank, on the other hand, is a horrible law that is criticized by nearly everyone who has to deal with it. Dodd-Frank imposes so many onerous (and often pointless) requirements that complying with them costs more money than many small and medium-sized banks earn. The result has been a rapid decline in the number of community banks. This has hurt small businesses, since smaller banks are generally the ones that loan to smaller businesses.

Resistance is futile
Kurt Schlichter offers the perfect capper to the 100 day journey.
In the first 100 days since Felonia von Pantsuit was not inaugurated, the goofy collection of commie traitors, coastal snobs, and crack-pot weirdoes that hilariously styles itself “#TheResistance” has only managed to successfully resist success. Oh sure, they and the catamite media tried their darnedest but, as Yoda said, “Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.” And, as Yoda also said, “Chelsea Clinton is best Democrats can do, say you? Kidding me, you are.”

Pay your fair share, blue states
Instapundit finds a good thing in President Trump's tax reform plan - eliminating the deductibility of state taxes.
States should be able to set their own levels of taxing and spending, but I see no reason why a Walmart cashier in Tennessee (which has no state income tax and low property taxes) should be subsidizing a hedge fund mogul in New York or a studio executive in Hollywood. It’s fine if blue states want to have higher state and local tax rates, as they do, but they shouldn’t be encouraged to do so by federal tax giveaways. And it’s the urban, coastal areas that have done best over the past 25 years, so it seems time for them to pay their fair share now.
