Here are my observations and opinions from my selected news of the day.

CALLING US “DEPLORABLE” is old hat as we proceed to the 2020 elections. “(We’re) everything bad, including things that aren’t even things,” writes Kurt Schlichter in his Townhall piece, “The Democrats’ 2020 Campaign Theme Is ‘You Americans Are Terrible.’ “You’re just a word and stick an “ist” or a “phobe” on it and that’s who you are.”

It’s a rehash of Hillary Clinton’s campaign vocabulary, when she repeatedly used the terms, racist … sexist … homophobe … Islamophobe … and  zenophobic.

“You’re a superstitious knuckle-dragger for believing in God and a heretic for denying that last week’s thunderstorm was not a direct result of Trump’s failure to enter into the Paris Accord 2.0 and finally ban drinking straws,” writes Schlichter of the view from the left. “You’re a brute for liking guns and big cars and being able to do a push-up.”

Democrats continually criticize the president and Republicans with “We’re better than that” and “This is not who we are.” “Who is this “we” anyway?” asks Schlichter.   “They think playing the “we” card gives them some transitory advantage. With no sleight of hand, Democrats easily move between the “race” card and the “we” card.

The Democrats are “we” and Republicans are rubes, who refuse to accept their moral subservience. To the Democrats, we Republicans are too stupid to realize that their “ism’s, “ist’s,” and “phobe’s” are directed at us as well as the president

“Will (we) deplorables, who number in the scores of millions, accept a future where (we) and (our) children and children’s children are to submit to permanent rule by people who visibly detest them and see them as racists, sexists and fascists?” – Patrick J. Buchanan, Townhall

STILL CARRYING WATER FOR THE DEMOCRATS – The left-leaning New York Times can always be counted on to pick up the Democrat talking points. Columnist Charles Blow, who claimed “The president is a raging racist, period,” used “racist” or “racism” 30 times. He believes that Americans who do not concede that Trump is a racist are themselves racists.

Then there was Derrick Bryson Taylor, who leaped at the opportunity to write about an angry white man who told a black woman to “go back where you came from.” The New York Times was more than happy to provide space in its paper for his piece, “‘The Hate Is Real: ‘Black Georgia Lawmaker Says She Was Berated at Supermarket.

If you just read the first few paragraphs, you would have thought it was a true story of racism. That would be okay with the Times. However, it wasn’t true, and the Times didn’t get around to telling its readers that until paragraph 14.

When a local television reporter asked the woman if the man had told her “go back where you came from,” she couldn’t acknowledge that, and could only say “he was making those types of references is what I remember.”

Then man denied being a racist to the television reporter, saying he was Cuban, and a Democrat. “This woman is playing the victim for political purposes because she is a state legislator,” he added.

You should be aware that both Charles Blow and Derrick Bryson Taylor are black.

REP. ILHAN OMAR (D-MN) keeps digging a deeper hole for the Democrat Party. “Right now, even when we’re talking about the president, people will say, you know, his remarks are racist, and we’ll forget the inherent racism that has always been part of him,” Omar said during a panel appearance at the Muslim Collective for Equitable Democracy conference in Washington DC.

JAMES COMEY, the disgraced former FBI director, you will recall, privately told President Trump that he was not a target in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, but was unwilling to say that in public because it would jeopardize his Deep State effort to get something on the president, according to Paul Mirengoff in Powerline.

It appears that was because of his secret effort to build a conspiracy case against Trump. “(Comey) had an agent inside the White House who reported back to headquarters about Trump and his aides,” according to Paul Sperry of RealClear Politics.

Those close to the investigation say that DOJ IG Michael Horowitz is aware of what was going on in Comey’s FBI.

REMEMBER TRUMP’S PROMISE to cut two regulations for every new one? “We’ve hit 13 to 1,” Russ Vought, acting budget office director, told a cheering crowd at the Heritage Foundation conference on federalism.

GET THIS – The Democrat-controlled crime-infested city of Baltimore took another punch to the gut. The city’s newly-hired Deputy Police Commissioner Daniel Murphy, and his wife, were mugged at gunpoint by four men who jumped from an SUV and fled with their cellphones, Murphy’s wallet, his wife’s purse, and some cash.

Murphy was hired and brought in from New Orleans earlier this year.

The robbery comes just one month after the police department launched a new “crime reduction strategy” that it said would “reduce the victimization and fear of victimization of violent crime in Baltimore City.”

There have been 185 homicides in the city so far this year, according to Pew Research.

LARRY ELDER, the conservative columnist and talk show host, tweeted a thoughtful response to the radical Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), who slammed blacks saying, “We don’t need any black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.”

Elder appropriately cited Martin Luther King @larryelder: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Touché, Larry.
