In the middle of a crowded bar, Adam Purinton yelled at two Indian men to "get out of my country," witnesses said, then opened fire in an attack that killed one of the men and wounded the other, as well as a third man who tried to help.

Trump's Bitter Harvest
This may not surprise us, but it should still horrify us.
Kevin O'Leary Laid Bare
I have never cared for that blowhard known as Kevin O'Leary. A shallow man intellectually, he appears to have only two reasons for seeking the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada: ego and a thirst for power, likely the same imperatives that impelled Trump to run for the U.S. presidency.
As Mark Cuban observes in the following, it is the latter motive that seems to most drive the failed Canadian/American businessman:

Growing Momentum
A short time ago I wrote about the resistance movement that has developed and grown since Donald Trump's installation in the White House. A natural question to ask is whether or not the initial enthusiastic momentum of such a movement can be sustained. So far, the signs are good:
Consider this lady's powerful rebuke of Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton:
The passions of the people can be a potent force for evil or for good. Let us all hope it is the latter that prevails.

This Says It All
Brian ("There's no whore like an old whore") Mulroney's shameless pandering to Trump the other night confirmed yet again the shallowness of his character.
This political cartoon captures his abject sycophancy.

Lest We Forget: Bearing Witness
In my view, this next story has absolutely no redemptive value. Nothing good emerges from such a grievous, historic injustice. And there can be no redemptive value in a recantation rendered when approaching the end of life.
Yet despite, or perhaps because of, its ugliness, it is important for all of us to bear witness. Emmett Till was a person, one who had barely tasted life, when he fell victim to a monumental, monstrous hate crime. And the even greater evil is that he is but one of countless others who suffered such cruel fates owing to a system racism that is far from eradicated, even in the 21st century.
And if you have never heard it, give a listen to Billie Holiday's haunting and unforgettable Strange Fruit.

UPDATED: Chris Wallace Defends "The Enemy Of The American People"
When even elements of the right are spooked, you know things are getting very, very serious:
UPDATE: If you have a really strong stomach, you might be able to watch some of Reince Priebus's whorishness, which Chris Wallace had little patience for:
