It’s Wednesday, November 18th, 2015…but before we begin, to borrow a phrase from the great Thomas Sowell, a couple of random thoughts on the passing scene.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, are we the only one who couldn’t care less about Ronda Rousey or any other aspect of her particular…”sport”? \u00a0She’s a girl…fighting girls…none of whom could stay in the ring with any male boxer in history. \u00a0Sorry, this is the FOX Sports<\/em> equivalent of the WNBA or WWF; our…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Concern-O-Meter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…ain’t even off the peg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Second, since we’re on the subject of the manufactured, if you need a real<\/em><\/span> laugh, check out this list<\/a><\/em><\/span> of Hillary’s “accomplishments”, then think about it: this is the best HER OWN CAMPAIGN<\/em><\/span> could fabricate?!? \u00a0Yeah, she’s ready for the White House.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leading off the midweek edition, three items which epitomize the moral bankruptcy and utter lack of any semblance of discernment on the part of the contemporary Left. \u00a0Exhibit “A”: writing at Townhall.com<\/em>, Matt Vespa takes us to…<\/strong><\/p>\n

One Paris Neighborhood That Isn\u2019t Angry At ISIS<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

“…A group of friends was standing near the candles that had been lit at the foot of the monument at the square, trying to find out if the waiter that had served them at La Belle Equipe, one of the restaurants attacked in the 11th arrondissement, had been killed.<\/p>\n

But they aren\u2019t angry, at least not at the perpetrators. \u201cThey\u2019re stupid<\/span>, but they aren\u2019t evil<\/span><\/em>,\u201d their friend Sabrina, an administrative worker in one of the theaters in the 11th arrondissement, said. \u201cThey are victims of a system that excluded them from society, that\u2019s why they felt this doesn\u2019t belong to them and they could attack<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> There are those who live here in alienation, and we are all to blame for this alienation<\/span><\/em>.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the attacks in January, they said we should unite, but that essentially meant that we should be together and not think independently,\u201d says Clemens Mama, a teacher. \u201cThey don\u2019t want us to think that maybe it\u2019s connected to the policies of our government and of the United States in the Middle East.\u201d<\/strong><\/span> No, she wasn\u2019t surprised that the attackers apparently included people who were born and raised in France. \u201cThese are people the government gave up on, and you have to ask why<\/span><\/em>,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

…It was hard to find anyone at this gathering who would say a bad word about the attackers, and expressions of patriotism were restrained. Perhaps it should be no surprise in this part of town. Most residents of the 11th arrondissement are what the French call \u201cbobo,\u201d bohemian and bourgeois, middle-class academics in their 30s and 40s with clearly leftist leanings<\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

“\u201cI\u2019m folding up the campaign tent,\u201d Kimmel told the Star Tribune. He later issued a written apology and called his tweet \u201cstupid,\u201d adding that it\u2019s probably best for him to \u201cshut up\u201d for the time being<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

How ’bout for the rest of your life?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n
