Boortz Nails it
Leave it to Neil Boortz (@talkmaster) to nail it.
The Upcoming Uncivil War
If this continues, we the people will fight back against the oppression being hoisted upon us by the media, the Democrats and antifa. Then, what will they call us? Afteralll, they call us racists, racists, etc. when it is they who don’t allow free speech, can’t take criticism, etc.
After what happened to @MrAndyNgo today, and the violence he's been documenting, it seems that Antifa rules Portland with the same impunity that the KKK ruled Birmingham in the 1960s. Shame on you, Mayor @tedwheeler. Restore law and order to your city. https://t.co/lQ2HnnPpGI

Comments on the passing scene
Trump was in the UK this past week. By most accounts, he had a good trip. Even the UK media, no friends of Trump or the U.S., ended with some positive comments on the trip. The U.S. legacy media, not so much.
Andrew Klavan has a great article at the Daily wire exposing the political left’s posing while all hell breaks loose in the cities, states and countries they control. https://www.dailywire.com/news/48152/klavan-leftists-virtue-pose-while-their-cities-die-andrew-klavan “More and more, the left is spouting a rhetoric of high, moral-sounding fantasies to distract from the ruinous havoc their policies wreak on the real world” he writes. Hard to argue when you look at what is happening around the world. He ends his piece perfectly:
“The left spends an awful lot of energy trying to get conservatives to shut up. Political correctness, deplatforming, demonetizing, blacklisting, outrage mobs, boycotts — all dedicated to making sure that they alone get to do the talking.
But you know what? The right doesn’t even need words to make the point anymore. Just go to the Democrat-governed cities. Look out the window. Walk the streets.”
The Speech Millennials Need to Listen to
J.J. Watts’ commencement speech at University of Wisconsin was one for the ages. It is amazing that a young man could have such wisdom. If the future is filled with more like him then we’re in good hands.
The Deep State vs. Us
What we have witnessed since Trump’s election in late 2016, is an attempted destruction of our republic. Outrageous right? Well, when you look through the details of exactly how the Deep State attempted to accomplish its goal of eliminating Trump, it becomes very clear there was no consideration of the impact this would have on the republic. With the advent of social media, the lies and misreprestations leaked to the legacy media outlets, spread like fires through a dry forest pitting citizens against citizens.
Glenn Reynolds (a/k/a Instapundit) recently published a book “The Social Media Upheaval” in which he outlines how devastating impact such organizations have on society. As he points out , part of the problem with the social media organizations is their monopoly often allows them to “selectively silence some those voices and amplify others.” While we all expect the truth to win out most of the time, a truth never heard cannot supplant a lie told and rebroadcasted a million times on social media.
Dems with Bylines. Not Journalists

Media and its Defense Of Obama Admin Spying
David Harsanyi‘s column at the Federalist lays out the arguments made by the media, and then destroys them. It is amazing the level of gymnastic maneuvers the media is going to in order to justify the unjustifiable. CNN’s Chris Cillizza uses the Democrat and media talking points attempting to justify what the Obama administration did. Cillizza and the media don’t like the word spy, but what else do you call it?
At the end of the day, we all want nothing more than for the facts to come out so we, the public, can make up our own minds on whose the culprits and who the victims are. The relentless stonewalling by the FBI and the media’s continued harping of Democrat talking points can lead you to jump to conclusions. However, we choose to let the facts drive us.
Russian Collusion Narrative Turns into Democrat Politics as Usual
We’ve been pretty silent over the last six months as we have set back and watched this Trump-Russia collusion theater unfold. Where are we now? Well, we know that there was Russian collusion, but it was not with Trump. It was with Hillary and her campaign. Further, we can surmise that the Obama administration knew all of this and decided to open an investigation to do nothing but harm the other party. Andy McCarthy has great piece today at NRO on this. Read it all.
