The Ultimate Berg’s Seventh Law
It’s entirely possible that DNI Gabbard is making a mountain out of a molehill. But if she’s not…: A president using national intelligence infrastructure fo try to jink the political order is not only an order of magnitude bigger than Watergate – it is the kind of thing that the system bent over backwards to…

It’s Sort Of Berg’s Seventh Law
Rep. Emma Greenman – who seemed to have found her happy place being the DFL state rep who was most aggressive about shirking her job early in the legislative session, before the District 40B special election – sounded off on the ethics issues with Keith Ellison: “Political and not very useful” is actually a great…

Berg’s Seventh Law In Action. Always, Always In Action.
I first codified Berg’s Seventh Law – progressives are always projecting their motives and actions onto conservatives – nearly twenty years ago. It may be the thing for which I and this blog are best known outside Minnesota. And there’s a reason for that. It’s universal. We’ve seen it in different ways in different eras…

The Bullets We Dodged
Berg’s Seventh Law has been getting a workout this week. For starters – as I pointed out all through the run-up to the election – the Democrats and DFL jabbered relentlessly about voting to “save democracy”, while promising to gut free speech, freedom of conscience, the right to self-defense, privacy and separation of powers. And…

Berg’s Seventh Law In Action: Getcher Speech Permits
Shot: Democrats act like there’s an exception in the First Amendment for “misinformation”, a term so broad literally nobody can define it (emphasis added): Chaser: The “Referees” we once had to tune into for information are, not misinforming, but actively disinforming us: After Rathergate, and seeing Lesley Stahl humiliated while covering for Hunter Biden in…

Ilhan, Unbound
Ilhan Omar won er primary against Don Samuels last night. And boy, was she a class act afterwards: So, if you’re a Don Samuels supporters in MInneapolis – a moderate, or just someone who’s sick of crime – I’ll invite you to take a look at Dalia Al Aqidi. She’s smart, She’s sane. She’s never…

Darn Those Authoritarian Republicans
Ever wonder why people on the left are so fond, over the past decade, of referring to people who disagree with them as “Fascists”? Well, of course, it’s because of all the Republican governors who use their power to bulldoze constitutional checks and balances – in the case of this conservative governor, deciding she doesn’t…

Make Those Trains Run On Time
Democrats warned me that if we voted GOP, we’d have fascism in the US. And they were right: Last Friday, New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, announced a 30-day ban on the right to carry open or concealed firearms in public. She and the state health secretary, Patrick Allen, declared, “Gun violence and drug…

Berg’s Seventh Law Hall Of Fame
I’m going to guess the relentlessly intellectually-entitled Ms. Sarandon thought she was tweeting about Republicans: It was probably 4-5 years after I read Saul Alinski’s Rules for Radicals that I noticed one of his rules – essentially, “accuse your opponent of doing what you’re doiing” – basically is the actor’s side of Berg’s 7th Law.…

Urban Progressive Privilege: Their Own Dog Food
Governors Abbot (TX) and DeSantis (FL) sendig illegal immigrants to New York, DC and – major kudos to DeSantis here – the epicenter of Urban Progressive Privilege, Martha’s Freaking Vineyard. The Vineyardians are not amused: The bleating of the likes of Fernandes (to say nothing of NYC Mayor Adams and DC Mayor Bowser) is pure…

The Most Berg’s Seventh Law Op Ed In History
Berg’s Seventh Law – “When a progressive issues a group defamation or assault on conservatives ethics, character, humanity or respect for liberty or the truth, they are at best projecting, and at worst drawing attention away from their own misdeeds” – has been getting a workout lately. But this next bit – an LATimes response…

Terrorism
I’ve probably noted this elsewhere, but I don’t’ think it can be overstated: the reason that the first Obama Administration spent so much time and effort barbering about “white supremacist terror” was to start projecting fault on the phantom menace to draw attention away from the mass of leftist thugs that Big Left was in…

Berg’s Seventh And Twentieth Laws Never Need To Fabricate Any Truths
Jussie Smolett was convicted of lying about being hate-crimed, three years ago, by a roaming band of Trump supporters. In downtown Chicago. Most of the lefty commentators who proclaimed the case a damning indictment of American society were – “unexpectedly” – silent over the weekend. And they may have been the smart ones. Ja’Han Jones…

Cause -> Effect?
A few weeks back: U of M “student government” official (and Tina Smith employee) calls for students to resist the U of M police – in as many words, to “make their lives hell“. Today – the U is turning into a cold Newark: University of Minnesota police are warning students, staff and neighbors to…

Berg’s Seventh Law Is A Sledgehammer
Democrats. after an election when media both mainstream and social worked overtime to install them in office, propose to “rein in the media”: During a lengthy Instagram Live on Tuesday evening where she revealed that she feared for her life during the siege, the “Squad” member accused the mainstream media of “spewing disinformation” ahead of…

When Democrats #Progsplain That There Is No Voting Fraud…
…rest assured, they are doing it to distract from all their voting fraud. But we knew that.

Subservient
These tweets have made the rounds of conservative social, cable and broadcast media. Which doesn’t mean they don’t need to be splattered far and wide. Berg’s Seventh Law is omnipresent: “Irony” – Judge Coney Barrett is already one of the nation’s most powerful jurists, even if she never gets on the SCOTUS (and here’s hoping…

Look Into The Gaslight
During the Bush years, as many as a third of Democrats had some level of belief that 9/11 was an inside job. Today, a significant number – on social media, it looks like a supermajority – believe that Trump colluded with Russia, that Kavanaugh raped someone, that “white supremacists” started the riots, that “Anti”-fa is…

You Have Questions. Berg’s Law Has Answers
“So, Mitch – why are the Democrats and media (ptr) spending so much time saying that Trump wants to delegitimize the election?” The answer, of course, is because they need to deflect away from the fact that they are trying, in advance, to delegitimize the election.

Shot In The Dark: Tomorrow’s News, 15 Years Ago
It’s been percolating about “prog” social media lately – the notion that Trump, should he lose the election, wouldn’t relinquish office. Never mind how, or whether it’s remotely plausible. All that is necessary for the left-wing noise machine is to get the chatters chattering. But as to “why would they be spreading such palpable poppycock?”…

In Much The Same Way As OJ Is Looking For “The Real Killers” (Part II)…
…Big Left is scouring the world for that wave of “white terror” that, we have been assured since 2009, is imminent. But again, Big Left has met its enemy, and they are it:

In Much The Same Was As OJ Is Looking For “The Real Killers”…

Divisive!
The Paper of Walter Duranty, the one that published the deeply ahistorical, revisionistic and nothing-but-inflammatory “1629 Project”, the one that published Paul Krugman’s innumerate claims that “blue” America bankrolls “red” America, which has been openly advocating “progressive” ideals in its editorial pages since I was in high school, which has been one of the primary…

With that definition in mind:…

Berg’s Seventh Law: Locked And Loaded
Read this statement by the “executive director” and chief check-endorser of a major gun-grab group and see if you detect the same theme I do: “Gun makers are softening their image to ‘put a better face in front of people’ & ‘ramp up its appeal to women, children and members of minority groups,’” Igor Volsky,…
