The Future of Freedom and Human Self-Determination Depends on Whether We Finally Kick You to the Curb Hard Enough So That You Can Never Get Up Again
From the irrepressible Mike at Cold Fury, "Defending the indefensible."
The global left always calls for more openness. More surrender of sovereignty. And more big government. Even the once-stalwartly "liberal" (classically liberal) Economist magazine has given up the ghost. It's dead to hard-left stultifying regressivism.

Kizhr Khan Khantroversy Nontroversy
I'm just waiting for this all to blow over.
Did Trump disrespect Khan's family? Perhaps. But it's only an issue because the leftist press seized on it to further demonize the Manhattan real estate mogul.
It's going to backfire. New polls show Hillary erasing Trump's polling bounce, which really isn't news as that was bound to happen in any case. The presidential horse race is going to even back out and we'll see a tight campaign in the weeks and months ahead. I still think Hillary's going to take it, but it's a weird election year. Voter anger and frustration is through the roof, and some of those battleground states --- especially Ohio and Florida --- may indeed end up going for Trump.
We'll see.
In any case, here's the mainstream media take at NYT, "Donald Trump’s Confrontation With Muslim Soldier’s Parents Emerges as Unexpected Flash Point."
And naturally Memeorandum's all over it, "Khizr Khan was tricked into smearing Donald Trump."
Plus, a Twitter roundup:

I'm Not Getting an Eyebrow Tattoo
I've never thought of it, actually. But my wife's always bugging me about the gray hairs coming in on my eyebrows, and she breaks out the tweezers once in a while to boot, heh.
But getting them tattooed? An interesting hypothesis, I guess.
Not so for Bella Thorne. She went all in and shared the moment on social media.
Here, at London's Daily Mail, "Bella Thorne gets her EYEBROWS tattooed and shares it on Snapchat."
BONUS: "Beach babe! Bella Thorne strips down to a teeny weeny bikini as she poses for summer photos in new shoot for Galore."

Amber Lee's Hot and Muggy Forecast
It was almost 80 last night at Angel Stadium, and humid!
Here's Amber Lee with the forecast from Monday:
Here's Amber Lee with the forecast from Monday:
Another Great Day Spoiled by Huston Street (VIDEO)
I took my family to Anaheim Stadium last night to see the Red Sox at the Angels.
It was great. Albert Pujols had the clutch home run and the Angels hung on to win 5-2.
But it wasn't so great today. I like Huston Street a lot (or I used to like him), but he's had so many blown saves this year it's just out of control. He's always been a "finger-biting" closer, but I just can't watch him anymore. The Angels were up 3-0 in the ninth and Street walked one and gave up a base hit. He struck out the next two, then Mookie Betts drove in a run on an RBI single. Then Dustin Pedroia just smashed a bomb over the center-field fence. Not to be outdone, Xander Bogaerts came up and smashed another homer to make it 5-3. It was totally demoralizing.
Can the Angels just get another closer, please?

Rania Khalek Interviews Seattle Socialist Kshama Sawant (VIDEO)
Lots of thoughts watching this interview.
For one thing, both of these women talk a freakin' mile a minute! It's kind of funny, especially since speaking that fast isn't necessary at all in a 15-minute interview for alternative media. Just slow down people, heh.
More substantially, though, would this lady Sawant, who's an out-and-out Marxist (I've blogged about her here), have supported Bernie Sanders as the Democrat Party nominee had he won the primaries? She's railing and railing against the two-party corporate hegemony of the Democrats and the Republicans, who represent the "ruling class," but had Sanders become the Democrat standard-bearer would that ideological principle have gone out the window at the moment of political opportunity? I mean, as it is Hillary's practically endorsing all the things Sawant's taking about --- single-payer health care, open-borders amnesty, anti-police "brutality" legislation, and what not. Never mind that Hillary's indeed beholden to Wall Street (corporate power is more and more leftist power these days, a sort of progressive corporatism). No, I expect it's not so much an "independent party" that Sawant all about. She wants a national political party to embrace the label of socialism unapologetically. The Democrats are almost there, actually. Their only roadblock to coming out full Marxist is the American people. Leftists still have to win elections. And when you start to over to flyover country the interests of the progressive urban elites are about as far away as you can get.
It's going to be interesting going forward, that's for sure. If Hillary wins Democrats will argue that Obama's election in '08 was the beginning of a long-term realignment founded on the coalition of transformation (minorities, younger people, and coastal elites). And she'll be emboldened to shed the mask of moderation and fully embrace the Alinskyite Marxism that's her true ideological pedigree.
More on this stuff throughout the campaign. As I always say, this elections about genuinely preserving the American republic. If the Democrats win, America's really going to see that fundamental transformation Obama promised. Hillary's going to be Obama's third term.
In any case, here's the interview:

A sea of waving flags, standing ovations for generals and admirals and praise for police officers and President Reagan made last week’s nominating convention here unlike any Democratic conclave in recent memory.More.
In tone and content, whole stretches resembled a typical Republican convention — for good reason. The convention represented an effort by Hillary Clinton and fellow Democrats to reclaim ground lost as far back as the 1960s by taking advantage of Donald Trump’s idiosyncratic candidacy.
Their pitch was less issue-oriented than cultural — an attempt by Democrats to portray themselves as a haven for voters shaken by terrorism at home and abroad.
The attempt to transcend traditional differences between Republicans and Democrats has been made easier by Trump, who has scorned longtime GOP imagery and policy stances. Democrats have accused him of harboring an authoritarianism that runs counter to American values.
“The country is trying to find a balance and equilibrium,” said Democratic pollster Peter Hart. Rather than dividing along the “hawk and dove” divisions of earlier decades, he said, Democrats are hoping to cast the election as “stability versus flailing around.”
“The show that they put on said, ‘This isn’t your old Democratic Party; this is a Democratic Party you can be comfortable in in 2016,’” he said.
The message was aimed at a wide range of voters who have leaned toward or voted wholly with Republicans in recent elections: married women, white women in particular, worried about national security; and both blue-collar and college-educated men.
Some of them turned away from Democrats as far back as the protesting days of the Vietnam era; others moved right in the 1980s either due to Reagan’s mix of sunny toughness or the Democratic party’s lean to the left; still more shifted to the GOP, at least for a time, after Sept. 11, 2001.
The Philadelphia emphasis on patriotic, sometimes martial, imagery came at a cost: Some convention speakers drew vocal objections from antiwar delegates on the party’s left.
Perhaps more important, Democrats spent relatively little time talking about the economy, which is likely to be a deciding issue in the fall. Clinton began emphasizing that issue this weekend on a bus tour of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
But the absence of a full-throated economic pitch from Clinton wasn’t as harmful as it might have been, because Republicans, too, spent little time at their convention talking dollars and cents.
The GOP convention in Cleveland, one week before the Democratic gathering, focused largely on the nominee himself. To the extent there were policy messages, some were at odds with Trump’s own positions. And nearly everything was overshadowed by harshly anti-Clinton rhetoric that focused more on the past, such as the extent of her responsibility for the attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, than on the feasibility of her plans for the economy.
The turf being played on by Democrats melds patriotism and appreciation for those in public service with regalia that wraps all of it together for television viewers...
