She could’ve just said “SJWs always project.”  It would’ve been shorter.

Bill and Hillary Clinton ought to be radioactive to any of the usual suspects who screech on about “rape culture,” but consistency has never been their strong suit:

Coulter Lambastes Media Over Epstein Rape Case: This Is What Media Thought UVA Rape Case Was

Ann Coulter says the Epstein rape case is “not just a Clinton sex scandal,” but the “elites” “covering up and protecting one another.” “This is what MSNBC and the rest of the networks have been describing what they thought these fraternities, what they thought the [Duke] lacrosse rape [case was],” Coulter said on FOX News’ Hannity. This is the elites circling the wagon and protecting a pederast. It’s a shocking case and that’s just the known facts.”

 

It’s not hypocrisy when we do it

Political taqiyya:

I taught constitutional law for ten years. I take the Constitution very seriously. The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all, and that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m President of the United States of America.

Need the “owner’s manual” for your M1 Garand?

I’ve converted it to an eBook:

Field Manual 23-5: U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1

It’s a faithful rendition of what I think is the last edition (published in 1965), formatted for your Kindle or other compatible device.  Cribbed from the description I provided to Amazon:

An ebook conversion of the Army’s “owner’s manual” for the M1 Garand battle rifle. More convenient than the PDFs that exist, and easy to load into your phone so you have it on hand at the range or in the field. Includes information on basic handling and operation, field stripping, a description of how the rifle operates, how to resolve stoppages, and routine maintenance.

Why Is Marco Rubio Working With Democrats To Weaken Due Process On College Campuses?

Since I’m no longer a Republican, I’m not in a position to vote for or against Marco Rubio’s nomination to the presidency…but if I were, this would be yet another reason to pick another candidate (as if his vote on amnesty for illegals wasn’t bad enough):

Why Is Marco Rubio Working With Democrats To Weaken Due Process On College Campuses?

Quoting National Review:

For more than four years, the White House and the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) have used an implausible reinterpretation of a 1972 civil-rights law to impose mandates unimagined by the law’s sponsors. It has forced almost all of the nation’s universities and colleges to disregard due process in disciplinary proceedings when they involve allegations of sexual assault. Enforced by officials far outside the mainstream, these mandates are having a devastating impact on the nation’s universities and on the lives of dozens — almost certainly soon to be hundreds or thousands — of falsely accused students.

One might have expected an aggressive response by House Republicans to such gross abuses of power — including subpoenas, tough oversight hearings, and corrective legislation. Instead, most of them have been mute. In the Senate, meanwhile, presidential candidate Marco Rubio of Florida, Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley of Iowa, and rising star Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire have teamed with [Democrat] demagogues Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Claire McCaskill of Missouri in co-sponsoring a bill that would make matters even worse.

[…]

With key Republicans along for the ride, McCaskill and Gillibrand produced a bill designed to advance the administration’s agenda. Its language presumes the guilt of all students accused of sexual assault by repeatedly calling accusers who have not yet substantiated their claims “victims,” without the critical qualifier “alleged.” CASA would also order colleges to provide a “confidential advisor” for these “victims,” with no comparable help for the accused. And it would require universities to publish data on the outcomes of their campus sexual-assault cases (which only Yale does now), apparently in the hope that doing so will invite Title IX complaints against any college that finds an insufficient number of accused students guilty.
