WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S: I dunno, folks. What do you call a socialist who ISN’T an internationalist?

RIGHT CONCLUSION, UTTERLY WRONG ANALYSIS: A member of the “ruling class” himself, liberal Robert Reich, opines that “A revolt is taking place against the ‘ruling class.’ “

Reich is correct that many Americans are angry at the “ruling class” in Washington, D.C. But he’s wrong about the constituencies that Trump and Sanders represent, and why they are proving popular.

Notice that leftist Reich characterizes the tea party as “wreckers” and the occupy movement as “rebuilders.” He then proceeds to proclaim Trump as a “bombastic, racist” wrecking ball that represents the tea party. Sanders, by contrast is merely advocating a “fundamental retooling of our economy in favor of average working people” and representing the “rebuilders” of the occupy movement.

Reich’s overt leftist bias aside, his analysis is all wrong. Trump is no more a champion of the tea party than any of several other GOP presidential candidates, including most notably Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, Cary Fiorina or Rand Paul. Likewise, Bernie Sanders isn’t popular because of the occupy movement, which has been long moribund, and he certainly isn’t a political outsider, having served in Congress for almost 25 years (since 1991).

Watchdogs: Clinton emails ‘never’ should’ve been sent on private system.

Two government watchdogs at the center of an investigation over Hillary Clinton’s personal email server say she shouldn’t have sent classified information over her private system while serving as secretary of State.

“This classified information should never have been transmitted via an unclassified personal system,” the inspectors general for the State Department and intelligence community said in a joint statement on Friday.

SCLEROTIC ONE PERCENTER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LAUGHS AT THE IDEA OF HER BEING A CHAMPION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES: Which is entirely par for the course, since in April, “Hillary admitted that she was ‘surprised’ to learn that the people who told her small businesses have struggled in recent years were actually correct,” as Joel Gehrke of NRO wrote:

Clinton noted that small business creation has “stalled out,” to her chagrin. “I was very surprised to see that when I began to dig into it,” she said while campaigning in New Hampshire. “Because people were telling me this as I traveled around the country the last two years, but I didn’t know what they were saying and it turns out that we are not producing as many small businesses as we use to.”

The struggles of small businesses during President Obama’s administration are hardly a new subject on the campaign trail. Mitt Romney raised the issue throughout the 2012 presidential election.

And Hillary’s disdain for small business is hardly a new subject. In 1999, the late Tony Snow wrote:

When told [in 1994, that Hillarycare, the prototype for Obamacare] could bankrupt small businesses, Mrs. Clinton sighed, “I can’t be responsible for every undercapitalized small business in America.” When a woman complained that she didn’t want to get shoved into a plan not of her choosing, the first lady lectured, “It’s time to put the common good, the national interest, ahead of individuals.”

Hey, that last sentence sounds even better in the original German: “Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz.”

ORWELLIAN MUCH? HILLARY PUTS ‘FUN CAMPS’ ASIDE TO PROPOSE ‘CARING CORPS.’

Yet another reminder that Jonah Goldberg’s early 2008 book Liberal Fascism was written with the assumption that Hillary would be the Democratic frontrunner that year; quotes from her on her worldview make up several of its later chapters.

For a cinematic look at what Hillary’s “Fun Camps,” the village it takes to raise a child, and the Caring Corp which would oversee both might look like, last year’s chilling dystopian sci-fi film The Giver starring Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep is also well worth checking out.

Actual tweet by the L.A. Times: “Dozens arrested overnight in Ferguson, but no violence other than frozen water bottles, rocks.”

So other than throwing rocks* at the police, there was little need for the arrests last night of the “relatively peaceful” protestors.

And really, other than that minor attack on Pearl Harbor, there was little need for America to enter World War II.

* I would imagine a frozen water bottle could make a rather painful projectile upon impact to the face as well if thrown with sufficient force.

Bernie Sanders is a Socialist.  And proud of it.  No arguement available there.  He sides with Trump on immigration (walls, deportations, defend the national character), Paul on foreign military involvment (keep 'em home) and Pat Buchanon on foreign trade - he's agin' it.  So he's a nationalist.  A National Socialist.  A Nazi.

And it ain't just me.  Others are noticing as well: MATT YGLESIAS HAS HIS KNICKERS IN A TWIST ABOUT THIS KEVIN WILLIAMSON COLUMN ON BERNIE SANDERS: Bernie’s Strange Brew Of Nationalism And Socialism.

And it's been a long time coming.   Michael Walsh writes that when America was attacked by Imperial Japan at Pearl Harbor, FDR vowed that “we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.” In telling contrast, Walsh writes, “in response to the latest Muslim atrocity, President Obama went on vacation to New York City to fund-raise and for some ‘down time’ with his daughters. Oh yes, and the Empire State Building was lit up Muslim green to ‘celebrate’ the end of Ramadan.”

What’s the linchpin that caused this fundamental transformation of America? Via an excerpt from his new book The Devil’s Pleasure Palace, Michael blames the far left Frankfurt School, which fled National Socialism in Germany and established a foothold for international socialism in America.

BLUE CIVIL WAR: Hillary Clinton’s ‘Black Lives Matter’ Triangulations.

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS THAT IT’S BECAUSE EVEN THEY AREN’T CYNICAL ENOUGH: Why Hillary Clinton and her rivals are struggling to grasp Black Lives Matter. “Black Lives Matter” is an unabashedly racist movement led by unabashed racists.

BLUE ON BLUE: BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTERS BLOCK SANDERS SPEECH, 2ND EVENT DRAWS CROWD OF 15,000:

Sanders’ spokesperson said they could speak after the senator, but they refused to leave the stage or allow him to speak, which drew booing and chanting from the “largely white audience,” reported the Seattle Times. “A few yelled for police to make arrests. Marissa Johnson, one of the protesters, shot back, ‘I was going to tell Bernie how racist this city is, filled with its progressives, but you did it for me,’ accusing the audience of ‘white supremacist liberalism.’”

As Jon Gabriel likes to say, “My favorite part about the Obama era is all the racial healing” – particularly, in this case, between the crowd and the protestors, all of whom are Obama’s core supporters.

Will the media do any follow-up on “white supremacist liberalism?” It sounds like a perfect topic for CNN or MSNBC to cover in depth…
