May the best man win — by proving he’s the worst treated. Not exactly positive thinking, but if it floats their boats . . .

Meanwhile, the relator has a question, and a darn good one at that:

Are there actually students at U of Calif, [where the gathering was held] who have no color at all?

Are they transparent?  . . .

Nobody ever calls me a “person of color” even though my skin has a distinct pinkish cast to it.

This inconvenient truth was taken to heart in the mid-’60s in Chicago, where West Side white activists smilingly referred to themselves as “pinkies.” Or so one of them told me.

The relator further observed about the conference:

There is  a basic principle at work here that is invisible only to leftists who deny the reality of human nature.  If oppression is the currency of social advantage, there will never be enough oppression to go around.

A shame.

NY Times gave him big play. It’s your source for fake news.

The New York Times published a fake news editorial this week from crooked Texas elector Chris Suprun claiming that he was a 9/11 first responder firefighter. As with everything else about this story, he was lying. No record of ‘faithless elector’…

Phony story from the start.

Media lemmings do it again.

Donald Trump’s fiercest critics may be dreaming of a last-minute revolt, but the Electoral College, a peculiarly American institution, appears near-certain on Monday to select the 70-year-old real estate mogul as the 45th US president.

Its detractors — and they are many — have denounced an electoral system that flies in the face of the venerated “one man, one vote” principle, and which perversely encourages presidential candidates to campaign in only a few key states while ignoring whole swaths of the country.

As the Psalmist sang in another context, the Gentiles rage. (aka nations, heathen) “. . . and the peoples imagine a vain thing”

Not to make of the Donald any but a human being about to hold high office, etc., putting pants on one leg at a time, no, no, no.

But his enemies do rage, do they not? And imagine vain things.

And they have their courtiers, their blowers on their own trumpets, their couriers, viz. media lemmings coast to coast, border to border (and in this case from la belle France, translated for Yahoo use), who offer us here such observations in the middle of a news-feature story:

. . . an electoral system that flies in the face of the venerated “one man, one vote” principle, and which perversely encourages presidential candidates to campaign in only a few key states while ignoring whole swaths of the country.

Consider: “perversely.” = bad, not fair, stupid, longtime obstructer of common good, etc., you name it. (Lafayette, where are you?)

Consider: “only a few states.” Oh. Vs. concentration on even fewer, beginning with our biggest state California, with 12% of the whole.

More:

.But despite the torrent of criticism this method has faced for decades, no reform attempt has ever succeeded.

Consider “reform.” Of course. There’s a better way, says this pseudo-news report-cum-lots of bending over to make a favorite point. Plus “torrent . . . for decades.” Oh?

(This French fellow, Jerome Cartillier, being out of the office, is an expert. But he should call home. And Yahoo should pay more attention to what he comes up and out with.)

It will take a house to fall on Bill and the rest.

Since the election, several Democrats have casted [sic] blame on the FBI director for the Democratic nominee’s lost.

Which is to say the people spoke but Bill isn’t listening.
