MUTH’S TRUTHS
You know what I like best about this latest Donald Trump brouhaha over the possibly biased Mexican-heritage judge hearing his case? The fact that the weak links among the GOP’s elected elites are exposing themselves NOW rather than in the fall.
From House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-K Street) to Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-SC) to Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval (R&R – Partners), tepid Trump supporters – if not closet #NeverTrumpers – jumped up out of their foxholes, turned tail and ran for the hills.
Better to identify these “yellow bellies” in June than October.
And it’s shameful, too. Because Trump’s position – even if inarticulately stated – is correct. Because of his position on certain hot-button issues it’s entirely possible that a judge of Mexican heritage or Muslim religion could harbor innate, if not spoken, bias against the man in court.
To suggest that judges aren’t human beings who may hold biases based on a variety of factors is absurd. Indeed, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor – a liberal Obama appointee – has famously admitted it and championed it.
“Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging,” she once said.
How is that position any different from Trump’s? It’s not.
Sotomayor also once said, “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
So if Trump is a racist for what he said, then so is Sotomayor.
Ryan, Graham, Sandoval and the rest of the gaggle of fair-weather friends could have and should have pointed this out. They didn’t. Instead, they took the first opportunity to frag the GOP’s presidential nominee.
Gen. George Washington would have had them shot. Sometimes I miss the good ol’ days.
Cheers.

P.S. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote today in CNN Money that he was launching a program to hire “1,000 men of color in the next two years to teach our public school children,” suggesting that white men and women cannot effectively teach minority children.
“Teachers who share cultural backgrounds with their students can help soothe tense classroom climates, reducing suspension rates and keeping kids in school,” the mayor wrote. “Kids seeing teachers — role models — who look like they do won’t just make learning more likely, it will provide a valuable potential visual gateway to an important future profession.”
Now imagine if Donald Trump, or any other white person, suggested that overwhelmingly white classrooms should be taught by white teachers who “look like” the students they’re teaching. The howls of “Racist!” would be deafening.
But de Blasio will get away with this “reverse racism” without a peep of protest. It’s sickening, it’s disgraceful and it’s outrageous.

The smell of fear is in the air in Nevada’s 3rd congressional district GOP primary.
The Republican establishment’s anointed candidate, RINO State Sen. Tax Hike Mike Roberson, apparently has been unable to close the gap vs. insurgent conservative challenger Danny Tarkanian in early voting and has hit the “panic button.”
“Broken Arrow! I say again, Broken Arrow!”
If you’re not familiar with the term from the movie “We Were Soldiers,” some guy named “ArcherDude” on Yahoo.com explains the meaning thusly…
“Completely surrounded and in imminent danger of being over-run by enemy forces — situation hopeless, use any/all means of blowing the crap out of the enemy. There are no other viable options at this time.”
That indeed seems to describe accurately the situation Tax Hike Mike faces as he’s being pummeled from all sides for being the lying, tax-hiking weasel he is.
And Robo-RINO is reportedly about to receive over a million dollars worth of last-minute negative TV and other advertising from third-party independent establishment organizations to try to pull his fat from the fire.
Will it be enough? We’ll know in one week.
