Customs & Border Patrol busting an MS-13 gang member puts a crimp in the liberal media’s ‘mostly women & children’ narrative

Maybe Jim Acosta would like to weigh in on this one

Not that this will surprise many of you, but it turns out the “migrant caravan” might not be the 100 percent peace parade the Left has made it out to be:

Democrats have informed us that concerns about this kind of thing are unfounded, paranoid and even racist:

The incident occurred at approximately 6:09 p.m., when agents encountered a man just east of the Calexico Port of Entry suspected of being in the United States illegally. After a short interview, the man told agents he is a Honduran citizen and active gang member with the notorious Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS-13) international crime organization. The man also told agents he traveled to the United States border with a large group of people from Central America intending on filing for asylum in the United States.

The man was taken to El Centro station for further questioning. At the station records checks revealed the man is 29-year-old Jose Villalobos-Jobel, a citizen of Honduras. Again, Villalobos confirmed his story of his gang involvement and intent on entering the United States illegally.

Villalobos will be held pending his processing and repatriation to Honduras.

A while back CNN’s mega-hack and drama queen Jim Acosta tried to show up Trump about the caravan but instead beclowned himself in light of what we now know:

HuffPost describing why Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is ‘problematic’ shows why progressives are impossible to parody

Here’s even more proof that when there are progressives around, there’s no need for humorists, satirists or comedy writers in general:

Imagine living your life that way!

Harvard, Yale scientists have a plan to do something about that pesky sun warming the earth

When real life collides with The Simpsons

The “scientific” left in this country are determined to do something about a problem they say threatens the whole of humanity, even if they have to accidentally kill everybody in the process:

That’s just how I like my “settled science” to sound — with alleged solutions that start with “it sounds crazy, but…”

From CNN:

Scientists are proposing an ingenious but as-yet-unproven way to tackle climate change: spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth’s atmosphere.

The research by scientists at Harvard and Yale universities, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, proposes using a technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection, which they say could cut the rate of global warming in half.
The technique would involve spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. The scientists propose delivering the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns.

Nothing better than an “as-yet unproven way to tackle” a problem that is as-yet unproven. But at least they’re admitting that it’s the sun that is in fact warming the world.

When real life collides with The Simpsons:

Quintessential Obama: Americans unwilling to take steps on climate change because of their ‘hate, anger, racism and mommy issues’

More like “projection”

I’m not even quite sure what to make of this, except that the president who pledged to “fundamentally transform America” in 2008 didn’t quite get the job done and seems a but, er, frustrated:

Anybody want to do the psychology homework behind why he connected people who don’t want to waste money on any more “green jobs” shams that were prevalent during Obama’s presidency and why that amounts to “mommy issues”? Paging Dr. Freud! It isn’t hard to see why Hillary thought that “basket of deplorables” comment would help propel her to the White House — that kind of thing worked for Obama.

I’m going to go ahead and diagnose Obama with a big case of old-fashioned, garden variety “projection.”

PC v1.0 gets devoured by PC v2.0 as college cancels Vagina Monologues because ‘not all women have vaginas’ or something

Satire dies yet again

We’ve now reached the point in time that future anthropologists will probably dub the “WTF Epoch” as even political correctness is now not politically correct enough. Case in point:

Leaders at a college in Michigan decided to cancel its production of “The Vagina Monologues” because it’s discriminatory, given “not all women have vaginas.”

The women’s resource center at Eastern Michigan University put the kibosh on the famous production since it caters only to women who have the physical anatomy that accompanies the female sex, according to The Ann Arbor News.

The decision came after the resource center conducted a survey, asking respondents about “The Vagina Monologues.” Those opposed to the drama said they were concerned about the fact that the production excludes some women, namely those who don’t have vaginas.

Like a dying star, political correctness expanded and became super bright and is now actually collapsing into itself. Someday it’s possible that we’ll learn the extinction of PC was caused by PC itself.

You’re doing it wrong: Dem Rep who’s running for president reminds defiant pro-2A crowd who’s got the nukes

What a way to tell everybody their government tyranny concerns are unfounded!

Earlier this year, liberal Rep. Eric Swalwell said the only way to solve the “gun violence” problem might be forced confiscation:

Swalwell proposes that the government should offer up to $1,000 for every weapon covered by a new ban, estimating that it would take $15 billion to buy back roughly 15 million weapons — and “criminally prosecute any who choose to defy [the buyback] by keeping their weapons.”

This week, Swalwell obviously had it up to here with critics of his gun grabbing wet dreams by reminding those who are defiant who really has the power:

Yep, there’s no better way for a liberal politician to remind people who want to keep their guns in case the government gets out of control that they’re delusional and paranoid than by threatening to nuke ’em!

As for me, I’m not sure that would make the best angle for winning in 2020.

Update:

Swalwell’s presidential campaign in a nutshell:

Global warming alarmists pissed off by Canadian gov’t report that nukes their narrative about polar bears

Perfect

It seems that reality isn’t cooperating with one of the “we’re all gonna die from man-made climate change” crowd’s most cherished talking points, and they’re not liking it:

Polar bear numbers are so high they threaten native Inuit populations, a controversial Canadian government report has found.

The animals, which have become one of the enduring symbols of the environmental cause, are growing in such numbers that they cannot currently safely co-exist with humans in northern Canada, the report suggested.

But the findings have been bitterly contested by environmental scientists who say that climate change has simply pushed the bears closer to humans as they search for food.
[…]
Wildlife experts often use images of emaciated polar bears to show how habitats are coming under threat due to ice shrinking and sea levels rising.

For example just a few months ago footage emerged of a polar bear prowling around on thin ice in the Nunavut territory in the northernmost region in Canada.

Wildlife experts said that the photos showed how the polar bears’ habitat is coming under threat due to human-induced global warming.

However, a new report, drafted by the Nunavut government completely contracts these widely-held claims about declining populations.

The draft report, which is set to be published by the end of this year, claims that polar bear populations are much higher than scientists estimated – and are actually increasing.

If nothing changes the global warming alarmists might find themselves left with no choice but to go up there and start knocking off some polar bears so real life more closely matches their narrative.

Scientists forced to go full ‘science denier’ on their own alarmist report about ocean warming

So much for “settled,” peer-reviewed “science.”

This article, as well as the “study” cited, should all appear in the dictionary under the definition of “confirmation bias”:

Scientists behind a major study that claimed the Earth’s oceans are warming faster than previously thought now say their work contained inadvertent errors that made their conclusions seem more certain than they actually are.

Two weeks after the high-profile study was published in the journal Nature, its authors have submitted corrections to the publication. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography, home to several of the researchers involved, also noted the problems in the scientists’ work and corrected a news release on its website, which previously had asserted that the study detailed how the Earth’s oceans “have absorbed 60 percent more heat than previously thought.”

“Unfortunately, we made mistakes here,” said Ralph Keeling, a climate scientist at Scripps, who was a co-author of the study. “I think the main lesson is that you work as fast as you can to fix mistakes when you find them.”

Uh oh, the “settled science” denial is coming from inside the house!

Can we now call those same scientists “science deniers”? That’s now it works, right?

Schadenfreude-a-Palooza: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez arrives early for congressional duties, leads sit-in at office of… Nancy Pelosi

Pass the popcorn

The next congressional term doesn’t even start for about seven weeks, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already in DC. Today she was a thorn in the side of Nancy Pelosi, which is absolutely hilarious:

You wanted her, you got her, Democrats! I’m guessing that Pelosi’s going to be swinging at AOC with the Speaker’s gavel before the middle of 2019.

As they say, “pass the popcorn.”

CNN sues Trump admin to restore Jim Acosta’s First Amendment right to grandstand during White House briefings

Founders unavailable for comment

Last week, after this scene, the White House pulled the hard pass from CNN’s Chief Resistance Reporter Jim Acosta:

And with that, CNN wrapped Acosta up in a Snuggie made out of copies of the Constitution and filed a lawsuit:

So if I’m understanding the liberal arguments about the Constitution correctly, the Second Amendment doesn’t apply to modern firearms because it was written with muskets in mind, but the First Amendment protects a drama queen cable net reporter from getting kicked out of the White House?

And by the way, Acosta has proven that he doesn’t need a White House pass to keep covering Trump:

I’m guessing the real reason Acosta wants his WH press credentials un-revoked is so CNN can get back to showing more of what Acosta thinks is the important story: Jim Acosta.

Also, CNN gets the vapors when Trump calls them “fake news,” but in their own lawsuit CNN proved why they’ve earned the title:

MORE lies from CNN? Go figure.

In any case, it could be hilarious if this all ended up in court:
