Reza Aslan Apologizes
Actually, if the guy wants to call President Trump a POS he should be able to. Me? I just won't (and don't) watch his show. I wouldn't try to get him fired.
But I guess folks have turned up the heat, according to Heat Street, "Reza Aslan’s CNN Show Could Be in Jeopardy After Trump ‘Piece of Sh*t’ Tweet."
I saw some of the outrage on Twitter. And now the idiot's just posted this:

Still Working on It: Richard Slotkin, Regeneration Through Violence
It's an awesome book, but a hefty slog. I've been breaking it up with some other books, but I'm almost through this one, and will be starting out on the next one in Slotkin's trilogy.
This is fine scholarship, to be savored and enjoyed.
See, Richard Slotkin's, Regeneration Through Violence: The Mythology of the American Frontier, 1600–1860.
Also, The Fatal Environment: The Myth of the Frontier in the Age of Industrialization, 1800–1890, and Gunfighter Nation: Myth of the Frontier in Twentieth-Century America.

It's Time to Change Our Response to Islamic Extremism
Like I said at my earlier entry, nothing's gonna change.
If jihadists nuked London maybe?
Until then, it'll be more of the same. Political correctness drives policy, and leftists control the establishment, even with Theresa May in power.
In any case, here's the redoubtable Douglas Murray, at the Spectator U.K., "Blind, bovine hope will get us nowhere – it’s time to change our response to Islamic extremism":
Note: Murray's whole debate here is post-Manchester. Now we've had the London Bridge jihad, which goes only to prove his point. (And leftists will hate him all the more.)

Last Sunday, I appeared on the BBC’s Sunday Politics to discuss the aftermath of the Manchester attack. I said what I thought, and various Muslim groups promptly went bananas.Keep reading.
This was not caused by my suggestion that this country should finally crack-down on British officials who spend their retirements working as shills for the House of Saud. Nor by my ridiculing of that modern European tradition whereby someone blows us up and we respond by singing John Lennon songs (and now Oasis too). Rather they objected to my simple two-word suggestion that we could all do with ‘less Islam’.
In a short film preceding the studio discussion, I mentioned that countries like Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic have very little Islam and very little Islamic terror. By contrast, France has a great amount of Islam and a great amount of Islamic terror. To most people it would seem obvious – to co-opt the immortal words of Donatella Versace – that ‘more means more’. Because although many communities are capable of producing extremists, only Islamic communities produce Islamic extremists. Of course some people don’t want to accept this fact. Not least because informed choices might result. For instance, it might help us weigh up the ongoing cultural benefits of large-scale Islamic immigration versus the down-side of dozens of obliterated lives every now and then...
Note: Murray's whole debate here is post-Manchester. Now we've had the London Bridge jihad, which goes only to prove his point. (And leftists will hate him all the more.)
Theresa May Won't Crack Down on Jihad (VIDEO)
We'll see speeches like this again and again, every time the jihadists attack. Nothing will change.
The #LondonAttacks were painfully familiar — but Theresa May's response was not https://t.co/J8q64lFOJO

#TheresaMay won't crack down. It'll be more of the same wishy-washy "Islam is a religion of peace" claptrap. #LondonBridge #Islam #Jihad https://t.co/rL4UEq2Mav

Run. Hide. Tell.
London's Metropolitan Police tweeted recommendations for besieged Londoners: "Run. Hide. Tell."
Well, video shows people running alright. The whole country's running. Britain's running away from reality, and it's killing them.

Claire Berlinski, Menace in Europe
Suspects in London are still on the loose, according to the Daily Mail a little while ago.
I'll have more on the attack later, of course.
Meanwhile, at Amazon, Claire Berlinski, Menace in Europe: Why the Continent's Crisis Is America's, Too.

Polar Bears: The Poster Child for Climate Change
Leftists have convinced themselves that conservatives are in "denial" of climate change, hence stories about how President Trump believes it's a "hoax."
Of course, that's not it. The issue is whether human activity is causing climate change, because the climate's been changing for hundreds of millions of years, before humans used fossil fuels to power their survival.
The true science is on the side of the skeptics. Progressives are akin to a quasi-religious cult.
In any case, seen just now at the New York Times, and the related article at bottom:

New York Times Defends Decision to Identify Undercover CIA Agent
Heh.
Of course they do.
At Instapundit, "I’M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WHEN MENTIONING VALERIE PLAME — WHO WAS NEITHER UNDERCOVER NOR AN AGENT — WAS TREASON OF THE FIRST ORDER: New York Times defends decision to identify undercover CIA agent."
And here it is, so casually reported:

Kathy Griffin Comedy Tour Cancelled
She has only herself to blame. Indeed, apparently the Uptown Theater cancellation came after she held her press conference today.
At TMZ, "Kathy Griffin Gets Ax from Last Theater in Comedy Tour."
Hat Tip: Conservative Treehouse.
