The problem with the left is that life isn’t fair and we are each unique, so fairness and equality are just completely disconnected from reality.
New Gallup poll asks "which values the country most needs today?"
Out of a list of 12 values, Republicans put "patriotism" #1, for Dems it ranks dead last - by a lot.
Dems say "equality" is most needed, Republicans rank it 11th out of 12.
I really can’t empathize with people who talk on speaker phone in public or shared private spaces. I’m just fine with whatever bad stuff happens to them.
Bro, they have her.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar writes in her memoir, “I was eight years old when civil war broke out in Somalia. One day everything was okay, and the next, there were bullets piercing not only buildings but also people.” While Somalia has suffered several civil wars, the chapter is entitled, “War: 1989-1991, Mogadishu, Somalia.” Mogadishu experienced severe riots in July 1989, including a mass execution that became known as the “Jazeera beach massacre.”
If, in her own words in her own autobiography, Omar was eight when this occurred in 1989, then she was born in 1981, and was 19 years old in the year 2000, when her father purportedly obtained his citizenship, not 1982 as she currently claims.
In addition to welfare, credentialism exacerbates the same problem.
David Friedberg: We’ve Lost the Plot on Immigration
“If you're providing social services to an immigrant population, then that's not necessarily a productive immigrant population in terms of being able to contribute to growing the economy and supporting civil society.
But if a population of immigrants come in and they're productive, meaning they can get jobs and they can work, and they can support themselves, that means they're adding something positive to the economy, to the civil society, and that is the sort of selection criteria that needs to take place.
So that's a simple framework for determining whether or not you should do this, and an easy way to solve it is get rid of social services for immigrants.
As soon as you get rid of social services for immigrants, then you self-select into the right population that's going to come in.
It's not about assimilating to society. It's about sharing the values of what makes the United States, the United States.
The values of, what do we actually care about, what are the principles that we all share as a civil society of the United States or a civil society of France, is a screening criteria that seems to have been thrown out the window.”
Jason:
“Do you believe in Freedom of speech? Do you believe in the Second Amendment?”
Friedberg:
“Do you believe that women are equal to men?
Do you believe that you should work for your money as opposed to take it from the government?
Do you believe in your individual rights?
Is your church paramount to the government and the laws of the state?
And do you believe that other people have rights that you don't get to trample on?
Those are the sorts of things that are, in many cases, counter to the cultural, religious, and other traditional beliefs of certain populations that end up causing the damage in the West, and I think that it's been kind of completely lost in the process.”

It's subtle, but with a trained eye, you can detect a slight difference between the way that The New York Times Editorial Board is treating the accusations against Ilhan Nur Said Elmi (aka Ilhan Omar) and the way they treated the accusations against Donald Trump.

My contrary take is that I respect Lindsey Graham more, not less, for not “living his truth” in a public way that required all of society to clap for him. Dude kept his private life private, it was none of our business. The right for the most part actually lives by the left’s false claim to not care what people do in their literal bedrooms. I only care if a guy makes it my problem and parade in assless chaps down Main St. in front of the kids.

Memo to the Trump administration: Stop buying companies.
A government $40 trillion in debt should be SELLING assets, not buying ownership stakes in 36 companies.
We thought government control of the means of production was what we were fighting against.
