Saturday Miscellany

First, the challenge that Democrats are facing with the migrant crisis does not involve solving the problem. It involves finding ways to blame Republicans. As New York’s citizens shouted down AOC yesterday the Times and other media outlets has been saying that Republicans caused the crisis by wishing it. If that is not enough, the Congress is not providing funds for the migrants.

Think I am kidding? A New York Times article last week bore this headline: “G.O.P. Gets the Democratic Border Crisis It Wanted.”

How come they have not blamed it on Donald Trump?

Second, we have the ruckus surrounding Dove soap. It has recently made one Zyahna Bryant a fat acceptance ambassador. If you thought that marketing executives were mentally challenged, you now have more evidence.

Not only is Bryant morbidly obese, but she is a BLM activist who filed a false racism claim against UVA student named Morgan Bettinger. Apparently, Bryant thought she heard Bettinger say something racist, and reported it. Later she recanted her testimony, but still the young UVA student had a charge of racism on her record.

Bryant was rewarded with a partnership with Dove soap-- which does not seem to have anything to do with fat acceptance. 

Now, there are calls for a nationwide boycott of Dove soap. What was good for Bud Light should be better for Dove soap.

When will they ever learn?

Third, our mentally challenged president announced that he had been brought up in the Jewish faith, so to speak. By now, of course, no one pays much attention to his autobiographical musings. Unfortunately, this does not make him any less of a national embarrassment.

Among them, count his claim to have taught political theory at the University of Pennsylvania for four years. The truth, he was an honorary professor for two years and never taught a class.

Fourth, the Missouri Department of Health is on the case. A Starbucks barista who suffers from a diaper fetish filmed himself filling his diaper with whipped cream, while on the job. You would think that Starbucks would relieve him of his duties, but apparently they have not. It requires an investigation.

Again, you cannot make this up.

Fifth, Barack Obama called for people to contribute to Libya, a country that is currently suffering from massive floods.

On Twitter, journalist Doug Henwood responded to Obama:

Didn't you overthrow the government leaving the country in a chaos from which it hasn't recovered?

Sixth, it’s time to be skeptical of crime figures. Three months ago a Soros prosecutor named Kim Gardner resigned from her position in St. Louis. The new prosecutor is one Gabe Gore.

He has done a far better job than his predecessor. The New York Post reports:

Since he was sworn in on May 31, Gore has already filed 1,400 cases — more than double the 620 cases Gardner filed during the same period last year, according to a review of cases by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

That surge was in part from prosecuting cases ignored by his progressive predecessor, who left behind a list of more than 4,500 pending charge applications, the report said.

When people tout a declining crime rate, they rarely point out that in many large blue cities prosecutors are not prosecuting crime. They are out trying to indict the police.

Seventh, the highly estimable Karol Markowicz holds teachers’ union president Randi Weingarten and the Biden administration responsible for the horrors visited on schoolchildren during the covid lockdowns.

She writes:

The lives of our children were destroyed by lockdowns — and long lockouts — from school during the pandemic.

This policy was largely forced through by Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers.

But we now know that President Biden and his wife-teacher, Jill Biden, were the ones who overruled their own medical experts to give Weingarten what she wanted — and threw American kids out the window.

It begins on the administration’s first day, when Jill Biden invited Weingarten and Becky Pringle, head of the National Education Association, to the White House, telling them, “I told you I was going to bring you with me to the White House. And on day one, you’re here,” according to a new book by Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer, “The Last Politician.”

There they were, making sure kids didn’t get to have an education.

But, don’t forget, it's Dr. Jill Biden. She got a graduate degree in Education and now teaches at a community college. Not exactly a distinguished career path, but it was a way to parlay her last name.
