That phrase was “useful idiot.” The alleged comedian, with a net worth somewhere in the 7-to-low-8-figures range, is feeling the Bern. Maybe she should have her gynecologist look into that.

Sarah Silverman Explains Why Socialism Is Right For You
Comedienne Sarah Silverman has switched support from Hillary Clinton to socialist Bernie Sanders, because ‘free stuff for everyone.’
The latest ridiculousness: college kids (and that’s what they are…adults don’t behave this way) get bent out of shape over someone’s writing “Trump 2016” in chalk on campus:
Emory Students Express Discontent With Administrative Response to Trump Chalkings
Students protested yesterday at the Emory Administration Building following a series of overnight, apparent pro-Donald Trump for president chalkings throughout campus.
Roughly 40 students gathered shortly after 4:30 p.m. in the outdoors space between the Administration Building and Goodrich C. White Hall; many students carried signs featuring slogans such as “Stop Trump” or “Stop Hate” and an antiphonal chant addressed to University administration, led by College sophomore Jonathan Peraza, resounded “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” throughout the Quad. Peraza opened the door to the Administration Building and students moved forward towards the door, shouting “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
Looks like something we’d see from some filthy hajji in Raqqa, not from alleged Americans in Salt Lake City:
Anti-Trump Protestors Behead Effigy Of The Donald As Radical Left Anger Builds
Liberal protests against Donald Trump are becoming increasingly violent. On Friday, I warned that this would happen, and over the weekend we witnessed extremely disturbing confrontations in both Arizona and Utah. No matter whether you are a supporter of Donald Trump or not, what we are watching unfold should deeply alarm you. Are violent protests, riots and confrontations with police going to become a daily occurrence until the election in November? Will this become the spark that sets off widespread civil unrest all over the nation? Unless Donald Trump wins the election, I have a feeling that he is going to end up deeply regretting running for president, because now his entire family lives under the threat of constant attack. Is this what “political discourse” is going to look like in this country moving forward?
Just consider what we just witnessed in Salt Lake City. Liberal activists strung up an effigy of Donald Trump by a noose, and then one of them proceeded to behead it.
Remember, this happened in one of the most conservative states in America.
If this kind of thing is happening in Salt Lake City, what kind of scenes will we see in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles by the time election day rolls around?
And can you imagine the media uproar that would ensue if someone did this to an effigy of Obama?

It’s true that candidates legally have no control over the Super PACs that bear their names…but really?
Head of Bernie Sanders Super PAC arrested for fraud
From the quoted article:
After he lost all five states on Tuesday and fell hopelessly behind in the democratic primary race, it didn’t seem like there was any way this week could get even worse for Bernie Sanders. But you know how he keeps claiming he’s the only Presidential candidate who doesn’t have any Super PACs? That illusion has come crashing down now that the head of a Bernie Sanders Super PAC was just arrested by the FBI for fraud.
The worst kind of scam is one where you think you’re doing good when you donate, but your money instead goes to line the perp’s pockets.
After Tabitha’s death, I decided it’d be bad form to wish cancer on anyone…but these scumbags are such a tempting target. Maybe I’ll just wish for them to die in a fire instead:
4 Cancer Charities Are Accused of Fraud
There were subscriptions to dating websites, meals at Hooters and purchases at Victoria’s Secret — not to mention jet ski joy rides and couples’ cruises to the Caribbean.
All of it was paid for with the nearly $200 million donated to cancer charities, and was enjoyed by the healthy friends and family members of those running the groups, in what government officials said Tuesday was one of the largest charity fraud cases ever.
At the center of the operation was James T. Reynolds Sr., who opened the Cancer Fund of America in 1987. Over the decades, according to a complaint filed by the Federal Trade Commission and regulators from 50 states and the District of Columbia, he expanded the enterprise to four separate groups and was joined by his son, friends and members of his Mormon Church congregation in Knoxville, Tenn.
In its complaint, the F.T.C. called all four of the cancer groups “sham charities,” charging the organizations with deceiving donors and misusing millions of dollars in donations, including putting money toward personal expenses like carwashes and college tuition, from 2008 to 2012.

The other charities connected to Mr. Reynolds and named in the suit were Cancer Support Services, Children’s Cancer Fund of America and the Breast Cancer Society.
Once upon a time, shitlibs demanded the end of ROTC on college campuses, and that military recruiters should be barred from campus. That came to an end when federal funding (including student loans and grants) was withdrawn from colleges and universities that banned ROTC and military recruiters.
The same approach may be worthy of consideration here, with CBP and ICE being the shitlibs’ current targets:
College students demand safe spaces from border patrol agents
A new crusade has emerged among college students who insist on insulation from the real world – now left-liberal campus activists demand safe spaces from U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who recruit at campus job fairs.
Protesters at several campuses in Southern California and Arizona have demanded administrators cut all ties with the federal agency, and some have protested agents’ presence on campus. Students say border protection representatives make students – especially students in the country illegally – feel unsafe.
At UC Santa Barbara in late January, a parade of students boisterously demonstrated against border patrol recruiters at a campus job fair, loudly chanting “f*ck your borders, f*ck your walls.” One organizer told The College Fix agents’ attendance was “triggering” for [illegal] students, adding “there is no space on this campus for an organization that continues to threaten the safety of students.”
Last fall, after UC Irvine students circulated a petition that called on administrators to remove a U.S. Customs and Border Protection booth from the school’s fall career fair – saying officers’ presence would make the campus unsafe for students in the country illegally – the agency backed out of the event.
If he’d only been as fired up against 0bama in 2012 as he is against Trump today, perhaps we would at least have been spared the second half of the Mistake from Chicago:

The Great Free Speech Issue of Our Time
But of course, no one is talking about sending alarmists or their painfully ignorant acolytes–Leo Dicaprio!–to prison. On the other hand, Democrats in Washington want to silence those who have bravely stood against the government-funded monopoly to bring a modicum of truth to the climate debate. The Hill reports:
The decision about whether to investigate ExxonMobil Corporation’s advocacy on climate change is now in the FBI’s hands.
The Department of Justice (DOJ), which received multiple requests to probe Exxon for potential legal action, has sent the case to the FBI for its consideration, it told a pair of Democratic lawmakers.
“As a courtesy, we have forwarded your correspondence to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” DOJ wrote to Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.), who asked for the probe.
“The FBI is the investigative arm of the department, upon which we rely to conduct the initial fact finding in federal cases. The FBI will determine whether an investigation is warranted,” Peter Kadzik, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs, wrote.
Actually, the oil companies have mostly been bystanders in the climate debate. But the Democrats are trying to deflect attention away from the fact that their global warming theory is crumbling in the face of the facts. The oil companies make convenient scapegoats.
Australian Taxpayers Berned (quoting this):

Western Australia Young Labor president Rebecca Doyle is identified in the video saying the ALP’s international branch had coordinated travel, accommodation and funding to assist the Sanders campaign, including $60 daily stipends.
No doubt that’s a part of what the FEC is now looking into on our side of the Pacific:
FEC Flags Thousands of Illegal Donations to Sanders’ Campaign
One of Bernie Sanders’ campaign features has been his eschewing of big donors, especially those on Wall Street. He’s been quite vocal about his pride in collecting only small donations from the grassroots and damning the “corrupt campaign finance system.”
The Federal Election Commission, however, has flagged thousands of illegal donations to the Sanders campaign, including those from people donating over the limit and those from foreign nationals.
Something in there smells bad enough that even the 0bama regime can’t plausibly ignore it:
