Danielle Gersh's Increasing Temperatures Forecast

Tomorrow's my last full day of summer down time. I have "College Days" at LBCC on Friday, and then the new semester starts Monday.

Well, it's been nice, heh.

Here's the lovely Ms. Danielle, for CBS News 2 Los Angeles:

Adam Hochschild, King Leopold's Ghost

*BUMPED.*

At Amazon, Adam Hochschild, King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa.

Black Conservative Richard Maxwell 'Sucker Punched' for Supporting President Trump (VIDEO)

This should be on #FakeNews CNN.

Maxwell is black, so no. Doesn't fit the narrative.

At CBS News 2 Los Angeles:

Steven Press, Rogue Empires

At Amazon, Steven Press, Rogue Empires: Contracts and Conmen in Europe’s Scramble for Africa.

ICYMI: Omar El Akkad, American War

I personally feel like we're in a civil war.

And the conditions are so ripe for hot war, not a cold war of cultural enemies.

It's worth posting this once again.

At Amazon, Omar El Akkad, American War.

Trump Supporters in Their Own Words

Melissa McEwan is not pleased:

Enough already. These people made a terrible, destructive, dangerous decision in voting for Donald Trump. And now the media wants to continually give them a platform to talk about that decision, as if they might have made it out of ignorance about who Trump is (nope!) or as if there is some value to letting them speak endlessly about their choice to cast a vote for a corrupt, bigoted, serial sex predator (also nope!) or as if there is something to be gleaned from mining the thoughts of people who insistently support an authoritarian bully who they have convinced themselves doesn't hold them in utter contempt (a third time nope).

There is no value in any of it. Enough.

She blocked me on Twitter years ago, of course.

But see the Guardian, "'He's anti-left, anti-PC, anti-stupid': Trump supporters in their own words."

CNN's Ana Navaro Angrily Defends Tweet Claiming President Trump Has Dementia (VIDEO)

Click through to watch, at Free Beacon, "Ana Navaro Angrily Defends Tweet Suggesting Trump Has Dementia: ‘I Didn’t Say He Has It’."

Actually, she tweeted that "he has it":

Only possible defensible explanation for Trump's disgusting, unpresidential, narcissistic behavior, would be early-on-set dementia. Maybe.

Bernard Cornwell, The Pale Horseman

This one's the second entry in Cornwell's the Saxon Chronicles Series.

I found one of the books while out shopping last week. Interestingly, Barnes and Noble doesn't carry the series indoors. You have to order online.

I'll build up my collection this fall. I've got a lot of other things to read right now, but this is great!

At Amazon, Bernard Cornwell, The Pale Horseman (The Saxon Chronicles Series #2).

Olivia Culpo Bikini Pics

At Popaholic, "Olivia Culpo Knocks It Out of the Park With Her Jaw-Dropping Bikini Sexiness."

She's really hot. Maybe I should be posting Ms. Olivia more often, lol.

On Twitter:

Lucy Collett on Snapchat

I'm not on Snapchat.

Shoot, I'm not on Instagram or any of these other ultra hip platforms.

That's probably for the better, lol. Society's getting too dumbed down as it is.

In any case, I guess Snapchat permits nudity (whereas not so at Instagram).

At Taxi Driver, "Lucy Collett Topless on her Snap Chat."

She goes by "Lucy Vixen" nowadays apparently, and she's on Twitter as well.

'The new leaders [of the Los Angeles Times] take over a news organization with flagging morale after years of management changes on top of huge shifts in consumer behavior that have roiled the entire newspaper industry.

Following-up on my post from Monday, "Enough is Enough: President Trump's a Threat to Our Democratic Institutions."

Perhaps the new leadership at LAT will put two and two together and figure out that wall-to-wall Trump hatred isn't the ticket to a successful business model.

Of course, they won't learn a thing. My bet is the new leadership makes the same editorial mistakes as the old leadership. Leftist Los Angeles will kill its own newspaper.

See, FWIW, "Ross Levinsohn is named the new publisher and CEO of the L.A. Times as top editors are ousted."

ESPN Pulls Announcer Robert Lee from UVA Football Game Because American Politics is FUBAR

Here's Clay Travis, at Outkick the Coverage, "MSESPN Pulls Asian Announcer Named Robert Lee Off UVa Game to Avoid Offending Idiots ." (Via Memeorandum.)

I can't even any more. Like I've said before, I can't even.

And Travis was on Tucker's last night:

Lauren Southern on Removal of Confederate Statues (VIDEO)

Here's Ms. Lauren on the hysteria over the "racist" Confederate statues.

Steven Ozment, A Mighty Fortress

*BUMPED.*

At Amazon, Steven Ozment, A Mighty Fortress: A New History of the German People.

[ADDED: I put this one on order, as I'm interested in the "German barbarians" who fought against the Roman legions in antiquity, as I mentioned earlier.]

Democrat 'Nazi Hunters' Gone Wild

You gotta read this.

R.S. McCain has the post, "Robert Tracinski Kills It," linking to an article entitled "Nazi-Hunting Fantasies Have Unhinged the Left."

This Nazi-hunting hysteria's going to turn out badly for the hard-left Democrats, as it shows them to be bankrupt --- morally, politically, philosophically bankrupt. When you have to attack everyone as a Nazi no one's a Nazi, and that doesn't reflect well on the historical memory of those who perished in the Holocaust. See, for example, Matt Vespa, at Town Hall, via Memeorandum, "Howard Dean: If You Vote Republican in 2018, You're a Racist."

Jo Beth Taylor Bikini Pics

She's an Australian television personality, at Drunken Stepfather, "Jo Beth Taylor Bikini on the Beach."

Also on Instagram, of course.

Steven Pressfield, Tides of War

*BUMPED.*

At Amazon, Steven Pressfield, Tides of War: A Novel of Alcibiades and the Peloponnesian War.

Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

This one's a winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

At Amazon, Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel.
