RUY TEIXEIRA: How Deep Is the Hole Democrats Are In? Pretty deep. “On the plus side, voters in a February Navigator Research poll across the battleground Congressional districts thought Democrats in Congress “fight for what they believe.” However, they also thought Democrats don’t respect work, don’t share my values, don’t look out for working people, don’t value work, don’t care about people like me, don’t have the right priorities and, by a massive 47 points, don’t get things done. Double ouch.”

Oh, yeah, they fight for what they believe all right. The problem is what they believe.

DOUBLE STANDARDS ARE THE ONLY STANDARDS THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS LEFT. Double Standards for Jew-Haters? “Because the DOJ under Merrick Garland had identified ‘racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists’ as the No. 1 terrorism threat in America, and because this one crazy Jew-hater in Richmond happened to be associated with a Catholic group, a shadow of terrorist suspicion was cast on all conservative Catholics by the FBI. ‘Henrico man sentenced to over eight years in prison for illegally possessing Molotov cocktails’ was the headline on a DOJ press release last month bringing an end to the Xavier Lopez case, and not a single Democrat has filed a lawsuit or issued a press release opposing the prosecution of Lopez. Why, then, are we hearing so much noise about the Trump administration’s crackdown on Jew-haters?”

Because the left defends its tools, and persecutes its enemies.

A FRIEND OF GLENN’S WRITES: “The Financial Times appears to have come out against free speech.”

Here’s a bit from FT’s “The real history of free speech — from supreme ideal to poisonous politics.”

So what exactly do we mean by free speech, and should there be any limits on it? In democracies, we celebrate free expression for good and hard-won reasons. Liberty of conscience is superior to enforced theocracy. The right to voice opinions without being persecuted is a hallmark of free societies as opposed to autocracies; so is the creation of challenging art and literature. Whatever your truths, freedom of expression is a valuable and inspiring ideal. 

But that doesn’t mean its principles are obvious or absolute. We often assume they must have been clearly established by great thinkers of the past, from Milton to James Madison to George Orwell, and that it’s only in the present that we’ve lost our way. But the real history of free speech is far more interesting — and it illuminates our current predicaments in surprisingly direct ways. 

Weird how “free speech” only became a problem when DOGE began disassembling the multibillion-dollar government apparatus that promoted the speech of one side, and not during (and just before) the Biden administration when those same tools, aided by social media, were used to stifle dissent.

ROGER SIMON: ‘The Barber in Peru’ — Back from the Dead.

I got a bewildered phone call from my old friend “The Barber in Peru {Indiana}.”

He’s getting pretty long in the tooth having been used by Groucho Marx to test the popularity of his movies in the hinterlands back in the day, but he doesn’t seem to have lost any of his marbles. He’s still on top of current events.

“What’s with these judges?” he said. “I never heard of any of them before.”

“Me neither.”

“Did somebody vote for them?”

“Nope.”

“Everybody comes into the barber shop can’t stand them, especially this Boasberg character.”

“Really?”

“Ordering a plane carrying those Tren-something gangsters to Central America to turn around. What’s the matter with this doofus? Doesn’t he realize those thugs would rape a three-year old and some of them already have? Doesn’t he have a daughter?”

“Well…”

Read the whole thing.

THE 21^st CENTURY ISN’T WORKED OUT AS I HAD HOPED: DoorDash, Klarna sign deal for deferred, installment food delivery payments.

DoorDash and Klarna, a company that offers “buy now, pay later” programs, have come together on a deal for deferred and installment food delivery payments.

“In the coming months, DoorDash customers will be able to enjoy Klarna’s seamless range of payment options when purchasing groceries, retail, and even DashPass Annual Plan – on DoorDash.com or through the DoorDash app,” according to a webpage on the deal on Klarna’s website.

Klarna is set to be shown as a way to pay when DoorDash customers are checking out, with customers given options to either pay for their whole purchase, pay via four installments or pay at a time that works better for them, according to the webpage.

“Our partnership with DoorDash marks an important milestone in Klarna’s expansion into everyday spending categories,” Klarna’s Chief Commercial Officer David Sykes said on the page.

“By offering smarter, more flexible payment solutions for groceries, takeout, and retail essentials, we’re making convenience even more accessible for millions of Americans,” Sykes added.
