In a feministic attempt to be hip, the Hillary Clinton campaign decided to do something “fun” and ask Democratic senators – all female of course – to hold up signs with their answers to questions about the Democratic presidential candidate front-runner.  It’s sort of like, remember how Michelle Obama held a sign with the #bringbackourgirls in an effort to “fight back” at the terrorist group Boko Haram that kidnapped hundreds of girls from a Nigerian school? As if that would make any difference at all. 

This entire exercise is sort of like that, only much lamer. Besides, what better way to relate to “ordinary women” than featuring a bunch of old, mostly white women who happen to be Democratic senators?

The more Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson climbs in the polls, the more liberals attack him as regards his“black authenticity.” This week alone, Carson has been called a “safe Negro” and a “token” by both a Democratic strategist and liberal journalist.

On Sunday’s MSNBC program Up, Democratic strategist L. Joy Williams tagged Carson a “safe Negro” for Republican voters. That's both a hit on Carson – he's not authentically black – and it tars white conservatives as racists who are merely using Carson.

CNN host Mike Rowe, took to his website to set the hyper-sensitive MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry straight on the meaning of the term “hard worker” and the difference between it and slavery. After noting “there is no longer a limit to what people can be offended by,”  Rowe writes:

"First of all, slavery is not 'hard work;' it’s forced labor. There’s a big difference. Likewise, slaves are not workers; they are by definition, property. They have no freedom, no hope, and no rights. Yes, they work hard, obviously. But there can be no “work ethic” among slaves, because the slave has no choice in the matter."

The liberal gay activist group GLAAD’s yearly “Where are We on TV” report for the 2015-2016 TV season was released this past Tuesday, and although the report finds that LGBT characters are up, it also lamented a lack of representation among those living with HIV, and a need for greater racial diversity within the LGBT community.

Ironically, ABC Family was one of the most LGBT-inclusive networks on cable, as well as Showtime; the only three recurring transgender characters on were on these cable channels. Traditional TV outlets had no representation of the LGBT community, although streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon saw four transgender characters, with two being leads on Transparent and Sense8. 

According to some in the liberal media, it’s perfectly fine to publicly lust after attractive politicians, provided, of course, they are lefty dreamboats.

On Sunday over at the Daily Beast, writer Tim Teeman wrote an article that not only tried to defend, but justify why it was ok to view the newly minted prime minister as a sexual object, and that we “should grow up about why we’re doing it.” [Language warning: Teeman's use of a derivative of the F-word appears below unredacted]

Talk about bad timing.  Four days after NYPD Officer Randolph Holder was shot in the head during the chase of an armed man in East Harlem, hundreds of protestors gathered at Washington Square Park in New York on Saturday to demonstrate against police brutality. The “Rise Up October” rally drew around 300 protestors and director Quentin Tarantino was front and center, bashing the police as "murderers."

Adam Winkler, a liberal law professor writing in The Washington Post, argued that changing demographics in America will doom the National Rifle Association as the white majority shrinks and minorities grow in population. Oddly enough, however, he left out how polling data shows more and more African-Americans are becoming generally pro-gun rights and skeptical of gun control.

After restaurateur Danny Meyer decided to stop tipping at his restaurants last week, the question of whether or not tipping should be banned has been pushed to the forefront in the mainstream media. So, should restaurants ban tipping?  Apparently economics journalist Stephen J. Dubner thinks so, citing everything from economics to racism as to why tipping should be done away with all together. Time magazine published his commentary under the headline, "Tipping Was Always a Bad Idea."

Outspoken abortion rights activist and Hollywood actress Amy Brenneman was interviewed by the Huffington Post’s HuffPost Live last Thursday, where she complained that abortion is being “demonized” in the United States. In an interview that discussed her role in the HBO series, The Leftovers, Brenneman discussed her motivation for joining Ms. magazine’s 2006 petition for supporting the pro-choice movement, "We Had Abortions"
