PC RUN AMOK: DC travel guide rejects NRA Museum ad. Good Lord, what's next? Rejecting a Mt. Vernon advertisement because George Washington owned slaves?

Idiots.

DONALD TRUMP: the post-modern presidential candidate.

TECHNOLOGY: Detecting cybersecurity threats by taking the power grid's pulse.

KURT SCHLICTER: Donald Trump trumps the liberals' fake outrage clichés.

Schlicter pulls no punches. And he punches hard.

ACTUARIAL ESTABLISHMENT tries to suppress explosive paper on public pensions.

[These] are powerful interests that don’t want public pensions to be governed by the same kinds of accounting principles used in the private sector because… well, because if they were, public pensions would go from seriously underfunded to catastrophically underfunded.

CONVENTIONAL WISDOM, especially that promoted by liberals and do-gooders (but I repeat myself), is almost always wrong.

UPDATED with this reminder:

GO, GARY, GO: Polls show Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson taking more support from Clinton than Trump.

OBAMACARE is failing exactly as we said it would.

IN THE WAR ON COPS, the lawless have won. I'm beginning to think it's time to give them back their inner cities and let them sort it out.

COLLEGE EDUCATION: something that cannot go on forever won't.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES: Trump, Trump, and more Trump. My favorite:

And there are many more here.

WHILE PROTESTING GUNS, anti-gun activist breaks the gun laws he supports.
