The Problem Identified:

The Solution Personified: (more…)

Why, it’s the visible personification of the war-on-women.  It’s shameful.  The wealth is not spread.  This is a terrible lack of Hollywood’s self-awareness and commitment to progressive values… or, well, something.

(link) Who is Daisy Ridley?  Don’t ask me, I’m not a big Hollywood follower.

But I had to laugh when seeing this story spread by the tender-sensibility generation.  Raised amid a progressive culture where everyone gets a trophy for participation; the modern, well, college-aged, Elizabeth Warren leftists.  Aka, Bernie Sanders supporters….

….”It’s just not fair“!

….it’s impossible to go back to a time when you didn’t notice them:

Whose jet? 

Every other headline will read: Gowdy supports Rubio, but the reality is more apropos when considering that Gowdy doesn’t support Ted Cruz.

This endorsement “event” should not come as a surprise to long-time readers, simply go back to the 2014 pre-mid-term assignment by Speaker Boehner of Represenative Gowdy as chairperson for the Benghazi committee, read the reams of cautionary discussion, and you’ll find the origin of this latest development.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

One of Donald Trump’s greatest benefits in a general election match-up is oddly one of our own greatest long-term antagonisms:  the generational, and insufferable, weakness of Republicans.

For approximately 30 years the GOP has been in full retreat from an onslaught of progressive liberalism.  Arguably retreat began picking up speed around the time of the Regan-era Iran-Contra scandal, which was unfortunately compounded by a New Jersey RNC lawsuit loss and subsequent life-time Consent Decree.

Regardless of origin, the general republican party has been comprised of spineless twits for the past 3+ decades.
