At minimum Justice Gorsuch validates Trump’s presidency, along with all of his lower court appointments and now replacing Kennedy. Gorsuch is a brilliant legal mind and is true to the Constitution and the rule of law. A Hillary Clinton presidency would have further packed Federal courts and done incalculable damage to the country. In ten years we would probably look like the farthest left-leaning European country. England or France, anyone?
In the Janus case involving forced public-sector union fees, what is it about leftists that makes them want to force their ideas on everyone? If unions are so good, shouldn’t they be thriving instead of dying? They once served a useful purpose but over the decades became corrupt bureaucracies that now largely function to fund the Democrat party.
Good Riddance, Justice Kennedy. He made some good rulings: most recently in the Janus union case, and in his scathing dissent on Obamacare, but also made many bad ones: most recently on gay-marriage. As the court’s “swing vote” Kennedy seemed to relish his power and you never really knew which way he would go. He seemed to view himself as the smartest guy in the room and a “philosopher king” when often times it seemed he was simply making up law as he went along.
Apparently, Einstein is now a racist. Sounds to me like Einstein was stating fact with his observations on other cultures.
Here is one quote: “Visiting the British colony that later became Sri Lanka, Einstein writes that the residents of Colombo ‘live in great filth and considerable stench at ground level,’ adding that they ‘do little, and need little. The simple economic cycle of life.’”
Sound racist or just an observation on the brutality of life in one third-world province? Leftist see racism around every corner. Disgusting.

Right out of a Star Trek episode, Google is now experimenting with technology to influence people’s thoughts, values and behavior. This is what leftists do with technology. Recall that one of Google’s founding principles is “don’t be evil”. That should immediately raise suspicion. Anytime leftists say they are, or are doing one thing, they are usually the opposite.

People are starting to get fed up and voting with their feet and wallets.
Far-left Evergreen State University is imploding. Applications are way down.

Typical of leftists. Make other bear the brunt. Or even better, have government force people to take action. But individual responsibility? Forget it. This is just like charity, where study after study has shown that people who lean conservative are far more charitable than those on the left, who expect government to do everything.
The discussion of “moral licensing” is fascinating and seems to be very similar to “virtue signaling”. In the mind of the leftist, if I support the right causes and think the right thoughts I can do what I want because I am “morally superior”.
The arguments in the article cannot be broken, despite the best efforts of a handful of leftist dopes who regularly comment on The Federalist’s articles. They provide much entertainment. Socialism’s economic failure rate is 100% over time.
More from Dennis Prager. A good follow up to his “fear of the left” piece. Besides a war on society, culture and language, the left is waging war on wisdom literally making our country dumber and less sensical. Some of it is simply silly, but much of it is very dangerous. Leftists do not want people to think, they want them to emote. They want a bunch of senseless drones who march in lock-step with leftist ideology. This is what has become of the Democrat party.

Words used to have meaning, but not to the leftists. Words are open to interpretation and are used to lie, deceive and intimidate. Perhaps the most prominent example is how “liberal” has been co-opted by the far-left, when they are among the most illiberal people on the planet.

Fear and intimidation are the calling cards of leftism, but an increasing number of people are fighting back given that we have crossed a political and social Rubicon:
