Tucker Carlson believes the left wants to remove President Donald Trump by any means necessary, and he says this highlights the drastic and dangerous changes the progressive movement has undergone in the past several decades.

"The modern left is no longer an ideological movement. Instead it's an organized movement around identity politics," Tucker said on tonight's show.

He warned that dividing Americans into "sub-groups" and promoting "tribalism" is dangerous for our democracy.

He said that modern progressives don't want to argue and have a reasonable discussion. They want their "team" to win, and some of them are willing to use violence to do so, as we've recently seen at protests across the country.

"Violence is what separates politics from war," Tucker said. "It's when hurt feelings become dead bodies, the point at which countries become ungovernable."

He noted that he's recently had progressives on his program, and when pressed, they refused to condemn political violence.

He concluded that "we are in danger" as long as that's the case.

'We Are in Danger': Tucker Says Progressives Must Condemn Political Violence - Fox News Insider

The Wildrose Party and the Progressive Conservative party have reached an agreement in principle to merge the two conservative entities under a new banner, the United Conservative Party.

The merger deal has to be ratified by both parties by July 22, with approval from PC membership at least 50 per cent plus one and the WRP respecting their grassroots nature, by 75 per cent.

And after that, the race is on for a new leader to be chosen at an AGM on October 28.

Its an aggressive timeline with an aggressive agenda for a very good reason:

The new party needs to be ready in the event Notley pulls a Prentice and disregards Albertas fixed election law by calling an early general election.

Personally, this is the happiest and most excited Ive been about Alberta politics since Alison Redford resigned in shame and scandal.

And, so of course, Notley is going to put her fear mongering into overdrive.

To Notley, over half the province are right wing extremists. (I suppose its better than calling us sewer rats but not by much.)

As the NDP continue to lose, theyre going to act crazier and say crazier things. Its what panicked progressives do.

There is an end in sight.

But we have two more years of madness to survive.

First off, thanks to the Herald for this enlightening story on progressives in Durango (April 27).

I will bet money that most, if not all, of those quoted in the story were absolutely livid when Rush Limbaugh made national headlines in 2009 saying that he hoped President Obamas policies failed. Yet, isnt the resist Trump movement saying the same thing?

According to the story, local progressives continue to pursue identity politics and take the we know whats good for you, even if you dont attitude.

A good example is the La Plata Electric Association District 4 commissioners seat covering the east part of the county, including Vallecito, Bayfield and Ignacio. In the past five election cycles, the progressive candidate has failed to carry the precinct, let alone the district. These candidates depend on progressives in town to win elections, even though their district has rejected them.

Even after reading the story a third time, I saw no condemnation of violence perpetrated in the name of the resist movement, nor did anyone talk about the shutdown of free speech on campus, especially speakers that dont drink the progressive Kool-Aid. Perhaps that had as much to do with the softball questions tossed out by the Herald reporter.

Someday, somehow, progressives will wake up and admit that they supported a flawed candidate in Hillary Clinton, and failed to address the fact that there are people living beyond the West Coast and the upper Eastern Seaboard.

Remember, even though Hillary had a 2-to-1 money advantage, 90 percent-plus funding from unions and endorsements from almost every major news outlet, she never connected with the people.

Reread the Herald story and see if you can find where progressives are reaching out today. I see that they want to work with other like groups and inform (key word here) the people why the progressive agenda is the only right way. The hypocrisy of the progressives is legend.

As that great philosopher Rodney King said, Cant we all just get along?

Article reinforced progressives' hypocrisy - The Durango Herald

I was pleased to join a huge bipartisan majority in the U.S. House to pass an omnibus spending package that will fund the federal government through the end of Fiscal Year 2017 (September 30).The $1.1 trillion bill passed by a vote of 309-118.Included within that funding bill is money for several top priorities of the Congressional Black Caucus and progressive Democrats and high-priority projects that will help St. Louis and other urban areas.

Despite the irresponsible demands of the Republican majority, Democrats prevailed in many funding fights and we defeated efforts to fund President Trumps border wall.

Federal funding for Planned Parenthood, which delivers cancer screening and well-woman services to over 3 million low-income patients each year, was preserved.

In St. Louis, the spending bill will also guarantee production of 17 new FA-18 Super Hornets this year.That remarkable aircraft, which is a high priority for the U.S. Navy, is built by 5,000 highly skilled union machinists at Boeing in Hazelwood.

Democrats also won continued funding for cost-sharing reduction payments to health insurers that help offset costs for low-income consumers who are covered under the Affordable Care Act.

And despite President Trumps misguided attempt to slash funding for vital medical research, the National Institutes of Health will receive a major $2 billion increase in federal funding that will be targeted towards research for conditions that African Americans and other minorities suffer from disproportionately. Chronic and deadly illnesses like cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, kidney failure and Alzheimers disease. Each year, I am pleased to support almost half a billion dollars in NIH-funded research at Washington University School of Medicine and Saint Louis University School of Medicine as they seek life-saving cures and create thousands of STEM jobs in our region.

The spending package also provides an additional $600 million for fighting the epidemic of opioid addiction.

I also worked closely with House Appropriators to provide an additional $1 million within the Commerce, Justice and Science line items to specifically fund upgraded and enhanced police sensitivity training for local law enforcement.

The bill also preserves funding for Pell grants and restores year-round use of those funds for low-income college students.

Each year the Congressional Black Caucus and progressive Democrats target key spending priorities that we fight for in the overall funding bill.This year, we were successful beyond our best expectations.

Some of those key federal investments include: $22.6 million for the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties; $68 million for the Second Chance Act,; $100 million to upgrade municipal water system in Flint, Michigan; $4 million in competitive grants for Historically Black Colleges and Universities; $73 million for Promise Neighborhoods; $1.7 billion for Office of Job Corps; $95 million in apprenticeship grants; $25 million for reintegration of ex-offenders in high-crime, high-poverty areas; $715 million for Community Service Block Grants; $244 million for Strengthening HBCUs; $7.5 million for Strengthening HBCUs Masters Programs; $9 million for Strengthening Predominantly Black Institutions; $291,033 for in-school GED training for young people with occupational training in St. Louis County; $3,225,991 for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program; $485,940 for weatherization program for low-income Missouri seniors; $3 billion for Community Development Block Grants; $137.5 million for Choice Neighborhood Program.

This federal spending agreement invests in urban communities by funding vital human services; restoring distressed neighborhoods; making college possible for low-income and minority students; growing jobs by investing in STEM and infrastructure projects; and making real investments in transforming local law enforcement and our criminal justice system.

This spending package is a victory for the Congressional Black Caucus and for all of us who continue to fight for jobs, education, healthcare, housing and equal justice for all, instead of just for some.
