The Voldemorts from Arkansas

On this coming Mother’s Day let’s give it up in frank admiration for the Queen Mum of Democrat politics and her consort Slick Willie.

Big a cuckold as she is, following in the footsteps of her pardon-selling, child-molesting, cheating husband, Godzillary’s still the favorite for the party’s nomination for president. And the low-to-no-info voting public quite likely will overlook all of their duplicity and mendacity and put them right back in the White House in 2016.

Speaks to something. The incompetence and/or political bias of the Democrat news media and its cowardly equivocations. The stupidity of most American women voters. Dare I say it? Yes, the stupidity. Or just the incredible machinations of Godzillary and Slick: The Voldemorts from Arkansas.

They-who-must-not-be-named in the same sentence with “criminal.” And too rarely are. Ready for his parsing of “is”? And her temper tantrums? You’d better be.

UPDATE:  Not that anyone should worry overmuch about what Peggy Noonan thinks, but…”A formal investigation, from Congress or the Justice Department, is needed to determine if Hillary Clinton’s State Department functioned, at least to some degree and in some cases, as a pay-for-play operation and whether the Clinton Foundation has functioned, at least in part, as a kind of high-class philanthropic slush fund.” Well, forget the “justice” department and Congress doesn’t have the nutmegs. But it’s the thought that counts, right Peggy?

The American Versailles

Of course I remember the comparisons at the time of the well-heeled, news media elites (and hangers-on like Al Sharpton) partying hard at the White House while West Baltimore burned. But I don’t think I saw any of them express its meaning as well as Salena Zito:

“We are over-regulated, forgotten and over-taxed by a national capital that has become the Versailles of its time — the seat of not only political power but of unprecedented wealth, with a desire to emulate Hollywood rather than the regular people who have carried the burden of building and protecting that pretentious city.”

And they’re right good at ignoring the foul economy their policies have produced and sustained.

Will Justice Investigate The Clintons?

You must kidding.

Well, it is Mary Kissel at the WSJ, so they’re just being rhetorical. She knows better.

Behind the Baltimore rioting

The following statistics explain a lot about the Baltimore rioting, though you’ll likely never learn of them from Sharpton, Jackson or their crony Obama:

Blacks constitute about 13.1% of America’s population.

But they are 63.4 % of Baltimore.

When it comes to crime across the U.S., the FBI reports that in 2012 blacks committed:

49.4% of all murders

32.5% of all forcible rapes

54.9% of all robberies

34.1% of all aggravated assaults

28.1% of ALL crime

But let’s not forget the dreadful Obama-Democrat economy and its disproportionate impact on young blacks. The WSJ’s Dan Henniger: “For the length of the Obama presidency, with growth significantly below norm, unemployment for blacks aged 24 and younger has hovered between 30% and 50%. That’s the real powder keg, not the police.”

Those charged Baltimore cops

I take heart from the fact that two of the six Baltimore cops charged with (or cooperation in) the killing of Freddie Gray are as black as Gray was , a third one is Hispanic and their accuser, a city prosecuting attorney, is herself at least half African-American.

Of course so much color in the story cripples the preferred Prog and Lefty narrative about white cops preying on black civilians, etc. Which is all to the good, since most of these approved narratives are bunk to begin with.
