OBAMA WOULDN’T LET HIS ADULT SON PLAY PRO FOOTBALL. And if he had an adult son, I'm sure his son wouldn't let Obama play President.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES:

Bonus edition.

CHARLES LINDBERGH: that first trans-Atlantic flight. Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport properties, has posted on his website a series of four videos he created of Charles Lindbergh's famous and risky takeoff in the "Spirit of St. Louis" on May 20,1927.

According to Perkins, he "painstakingly assembled news footage from five cameras that filmed Lindbergh's takeoff from Roosevelt Field, Long Island and mixed it with enhanced audio from the same newsreel sources." Here are the 4 videos, in order:

Part 1: Dead Men Flying
Part 2: A Sudden Change
Part 3: Well, Then, I Might As Well Go
Part 4: I'm Not Lindbergh!

How times have changed.

MAYOR DE BLASIO TAKES OVER NYC; NYC snowplows take a vacation.

JUST BECAUSE I'M PARANOID doesn't mean they're not out to get me.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Obama's Recessional.

SELF EXPLANATORY: A picture is worth 1000 words.

MILLENNIALS UNHAPPY with Obama's war on the young. The $64 question is whether or not they will learn from the experience.

THOMAS SOWELL: Fact-Free Liberals.

Conservatives: "You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts." Liberals: "You're entitled to my opinion, and facts are irrelevant."

TIME MANAGEMENT ADVICE: "[T]here's always room for a couple of beers with a friend."

FINALLY: It's snowing. It's really, really snowing.

SNOW DAY: Jonah Goldberg on D.C.'s aversion to bad weather. Best part:

I don’t run to the supermarket to buy canned goods and bottled water when the weatherman predicts snow. I run to the supermarket because I know everyone else is going to run to the supermarket. If you don’t get to the good stuff early, you’re going to be eating gluten-free egg noodles with unsalted butter for a week.

Read it all (and watch the video).

THE POLAR VORTEX HAS ARRIVED! I just saw a snowflake.

POLAR VORTEX II shuts down DC, hits eastern US. Except that at the time of this post, the temperature has risen three degrees (to 37F) and not a single snowflake has fallen.

FEET. VOTE. Sean Hannity to Leave New York After Andrew Cuomo's Anti-Conservative Rant.

INSTITUTIONALIZED DIM-WITTED LEFTISM: don’t they collectively illustrate the Arab proverb, “The dogs bark, but the caravan passes by?”

I'm too lazy to go search out the link(s), but I've made essentially that same comment: Americans are generally ignoring the Emperor Obama's diktats and going on about their lives.
