It’s Wednesday, June 5th, 2019…but before we begin, if you haven’t noticed, the entire Dimocratic party

Biden unveils climate change plan using Green New Deal as framework, after AOC criticism

 

…is being led around by the nose by an ignorant, demented, 29-year-old Socialist.

Good plan is right

…provided you’re Donald Trump.

And lest you forget, what government-run healthcare’s done for our best and bravest…

…is what every consequential Dimocrat running in 2020 wants to impose on the rest of the country.

And if you believe that will work, they’ve got a Russian collusion narrative they’d like to sell you.

Now, here’s The Gouge!

First up, Progressive assurances to the contrary notwithstanding, if you don’t think we’ve got a problem at our southern border…a serious problem…think again:

Border Patrol Apprehends Large Group of Illegal Immigrants…From Africa

 

“Word about getting into the U.S. through its vulnerable southern border has apparently spread like wildfire, not just in Central America, but across Africa as well. U.S. Border Patrol apprehended a large group of 116 illegal immigrants in the Del Rio Sector on Thursday who hailed from Cameroon, Congo, and Angola.

The group was caught on video wading across the Rio Grande River attempting to illegally enter the U.S…”

America’s national debt currently stands at just under $22.5 trillion; does anyone really believe our economy can support the feeding, healthcare, housing and education of every Central American who’d prefer the good, old U.S. of A. over the sh*thole country they currently inhabit, let alone all of Africa?!?

Nope, nothing to see or worry about here, folks…

…please move along!

Speaking of the inevitable results of decades of willful Progressive blindness to problems which will eventually swim up and bite the rest of us on our assesFOX News reports on another novel Liberal idea, as…

Baltimore’s mayor suggests at anti-gun rally boxing matches could settle ‘beefs

 

After all, it’s not like the loser will THEN go get his piece and put a cap in the winner’s ass.  No, they’ll just shake hands and make up!  Because, isn’t that what Black solidarity’s all about?!?  (Wink, wink…wink, wink!!!)

You tell us: after all, we report, you decide.

In a related item of Progressive counterproductive wishful, witless thinking, the genius who suggested boxing matches as a means of solving inner city disputes has another corker of a concept:

Baltimore mayor open to paying off hackers who paralyzed city, despite once likening it to ‘rewarding bank robbers

 

Which leads us to wonder…satirically

Actually, they breed on both Coasts and in America’s urban enclaves like flies.

Meanwhile, in Baltimore’s Midwest counterpart…

Chicago has most violent weekend this year: 52 shot, 10 dead

 

Days after officials touted a slight decrease in crime, Chicago saw its most violent weekend of the year, with 52 people reportedly shot — including 10 fatally. The violent spree occurred just days after authorities highlighted a nine percent drop in crime compared to the first five months of 2018.

Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Monday that Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson ordered targeted patrols in certain areas in response to several gang-related incidents since Friday. Guglielmi says those efforts have netted 18 arrests and 92 seized guns since Friday evening. (What; aren’t guns illegal in Chicago?!?)

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has said she’s considering replacing Johnson, but will not decide until after a more thorough study of the city’s problems…”

Ah, yes: yet another study!  What will it take to force those who promote gun control as the answer to homicidal gun violence to admit…

At least four dead, two more injured after Australian gunman goes on shooting spree

 

all along, they’ve not only been…

Since we’re on the subject of those who’ve never been right attempting to impose a completely wrong-headed policy, as Best of the Web‘s Jim Freeman informs us, in yet another no-win 2020 election issue, it’s…

Democrats vs. Nuns

The Little Sisters of the Poor are again forced to defend their liberty in federal court.

 

Nationwide, Democratic politicians are testing the boundaries of extremism on issues related to reproduction, while a few liberal voices warn of potential repercussions in the 2020 elections.

More than two years after Barack Obama left the White House, there’s still no cease-fire in a legal war on women of faith. The non-profit law firm Becket said today that a group of nuns will once again have to defend their beliefs in a San Francisco federal courthouse this week:

The Little Sisters of the Poor will be in court Thursday to ask for protection from a lawsuit by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra threatening their religious ministry. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit will hear arguments in California v. Little Sisters of the Poor and decide if California and…other states can force Catholic nuns to provide services such as the week-after pill in their health care plan in violation of their faith. In 2017, following an Executive Order, a five-year legal battle resulting in a Supreme Court victory, and a new HHS rule protecting religious non-profits, the Little Sisters finally received a religious exemption that applies to non-profits nationwide. Yet California immediately sued the federal government to take that exemption away. Joined now by 12 other states and the District of Columbia, Attorney General Becerra is forcing the Little Sisters back to court to defend their hard-earned religious protection.

Hasn’t Mr. Becerra heard of letting women decide such issues?

Beyond policy, pro-choice rhetoric has become so extreme that even the “fact checkers” at the Washington Post recently felt compelled to expose the whoppers being told by abortion absolutists.

Calling the politics of abortion “tricky,” columnist David Leonhardt at the New York Times opines today that “it’s a big mistake for Democrats to imagine that the country is as liberal as their own social circles. And I think signaling an openness to compromise on many issues is both smart and reasonable.”

Fortunately, at least for the future of the Founders’ Republic and contemporary Conservatism, Progressives are neither!

Which brings us, appropriately enough, to The Lighter Side:

Then there’s this string of amazing memes from our sister-in-law Amy…

…along with these four from Balls Cotton:

Finally, we’ll call it a day with yet another titillating tale torn from pages of The Crime Blotter, as this item from FOX News relates how a…

Mother-of-three teacher, 42, died after swallowing $75 bag of cocaine in first class lounge before flight to Dubai

 

A mother-of-three accidentally killed herself when she swallowed a bag of cocaine in a first class airport lounge whilst waiting to fly home to Dubai.

British expat teacher Victoria Buchanan, 42, ate the resealable bag when she realized she still had the drugs in her possession whilst drinking a glass of champagne after she checked in with her luggage. She had earlier bought $250 worth of the Class A drug during a family visit to the U.K. with her husband Mark, a shipping company boss.

Victoria had $75 worth of cocaine left when she decided to swallow it in the hope of getting it back home — and moments later she collapsed with a severe seizure when the bag burst in her stomach.

Recording a conclusion of death by misadventure, assistant coroner Andrew Bridge said at the inquest: “My question is what on earth was she thinking?”…”

Here’s the juice: she wasn’t…and never will again.  Which just goes to prove…

Not to mention, did your cocaine-addled, champagne-occluded brain ever stop to think WTF this would teach your kids?!?  Sorry, but such stupidity is truly hard to fathom.

Magoo

P.S. On an administrative note, we’ll be tied up with business on Wednesday and Thursday, and on Friday we’ll be heading to L.A. for the memorial service of one of our best friend’s mom.  So ’til Wednesday the 12th of June…
