“DO THE LETTERS F.O. MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?” That's a pretty good response, but I still prefer mine: "You mistake me for someone who gives a sh*t."

Another one I'm leaning toward using is "Go to your safe space, little person. Don't come out until you've grown up."

HEH.

MICHAEL RAMIREZ: the ISIS 'caliphate' in 2017.

GET A GRIP: #TrumpIsYourPresident.

IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE: The incredible lesson we should learn from the Christmas donkey.

Merry Christmas, all.

WOKE CONSERVATIVES and the awesome power of not caring.

JUST ANOTHER OBAMA SCANDAL: Hezbollah's drug mule.

IS THE DEEP STATE attempting a coup? I don't think so; I think they're panicking because their 8 year long coup attempt is failing.

WORLD ENDS; Ivy League hardest hit.

Stop laughing....

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS MANKIND'S LAST GREAT HOPE: I Have Seen London’s Future and It Is Caracas.

GOP TAX BILL causes Nancy Pelosi to lose remaining fragment of her mind.

The arrogance, vanity, hypocrisy, and pomposity pushed it out....

HEH: The Geico gecko gets it.

From PowerLine's Week in Pictures Happy Tax Cut Edition this week. There are many more, including Sarah Sanders and Nikki Haley for the (real) feminists.

And Hillary Clinton for the 'feministas'.

AWKWARD: NBC/MSNBC/CNBC journolists getting bonuses because of GOP tax plan.

My bet is that they won't refuse the bonuses....

MESSAGE FROM THE OTHER SIDE:

Sorry, jihadis; Hefner got here first....

MORE ACADEMIC IDIOCY: Professors refer to conservative criticism as 'violence'.

Question: How do you do 'violence' to a snowflake?

I'M BACK after nearly 40 hours without power from Georgia's snowstorm. Pine trees are remarkably fragile when it rains, snows, or the wind blows. They are also remarkably efficient at taking down power lines and blocking roads.

"THERE IS A GOD." Leftist Neera Tanden gleeful that Rupert Murdoch's house burnt down.

I wonder if there will be a God when something catastrophic happens to her?

HEH: The New York Times won today's Foolitzer Prize.

RANDOM THOUGHT: After watching the Trump rally in Pensacola tonight, I think I can confidently predict that the liberals and mainstream media (but I repeat myself) will go absolutely berserk tomorrow.

CIA DIRECTOR MIKE POMPEO: Trump's tweeting actually helped us. Our 'ruling class' (both sides) simply cannot accept that they may be wrong.

Read it all - especially the last paragraph.

JEFF JACOBY: The blessings of climate change.

SAD: Today is the 76th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, and this is the only story I could (not so) easily find. But there was plenty of room for the Mueller investigation and assorted Congressional sex allegations.

COMMENT OF THE DAY: "History began on August 4, 1961 when B. Hussein Obama was born in a manger in Kenya...no, Hawaii...and the indigenous people brought gifts of pineapples, surfboards and 'choom'..."

From the comment section of this post.

DON'T CALL US SNOWFLAKES - it damages our mental health.

First you have to have some mental before you can have mental health....

THE VOLOKH CONSPIRACY: Yes, let's really muck up tax reform.

TAKE A KNEE... MY ASS!



From my email.

1984 HAS ARRIVED at Westfield [Massachusetts] State University.

KIRSTJEN NIELSEN confirmed as Homeland Security Secretary. By a 62-37 majority. Did the Democrats blink?

SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS: Rudolph (the red-nosed reindeer) is racist, sexist, and homophobic.

Just another example of progressive insanity.

OBAMA’S SWIPE AT TRUMP over Paris Agreement is an ironic backfire.

Obama is to be thanked for pointing out that the federal government doesn’t need to be involved in the Paris Agreement or any of its accompanying funding and regulating. If Obama’s idea of an “absence of leadership” is not wasting taxpayer money on shams designed to line the pockets of bureaucrats pushing an eco fauxpocalypse, then I’ll take it.

Question: Where is the Logan Act when you really need it?

ISHMAEL JONES revisits the infamous “Trump Dossier.”

WHAT THE CONSTITUTION says about cakes and compelled speech. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission yesterday. We'll know its answer in June 2018 or thereabouts.

PEDIATRICIAN: Revealing your baby’s sex might traumatize him, because trans.

OPPOSING VIEW: 6,500 reasons to say ‘It’s a girl’ (or ‘It’s a boy’).

The Social Justice Warriorship is getting tiresome.

DON SURBER: Why the left hates 401K. [Hint: it's about power and control.]

There is a fellow I know, let's call him Ron Rurber.

He worked for a company for 30 years. After 20 years there, liberals bought it out.

Within four years the liberals stopped paying into the pension plan -- and has since enjoyed the corporate welfare of the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation, a federal government entity that takes over failed pension plans. The PBGC took over the pension plan, allowing the liberals who bought the company to be off the hook.

But his 401-k accumulated enough money. Each month, he now pulls down twice what his pension is without touching that nest egg. His 401-k payments are larger than his Social Security.

Isolated case?

Not at all. My 401K required minimum distribution (RMD) is 40% larger than my Social Security and pension income combined. And the 401K balance is still growing.

THEY NEVER LEARN: California wildfires burn 56,000 acres.

Every year southern California burns, and every year the state does nothing to prevent future fires because clearing the flammable brush out might harm endangered wildlife.

So tell me, how does being fried in the annual fires protect endangered wildlife? (Not to mention the lives of the people whose homes were burned down.)

LIVE FIRE EXERCISE from the USS Nimitz. The photo was taken December 1st, I assume off the coast of North Korea as part of the joint military exercises.

OH, BOY! Portland, Maine(!) has a new school transgender policy.

If I lived in Portland, I'd immediately pull my child out of public school and plan my exit from the Insane State at the earliest possible instant.

THE THREE LAWS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS:

Always lie.
Always double down.
Always project.

Here's an example.

TOWNHALL.COM: Democratic tax nonsense.

NATIONAL REVIEW The criminalization of politics.

National Review suggests Trump appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigage Obama's Iran deal. And I'd recommend another for Hillary Clinton and Uranium One....

GOOD RIDDANCE: John Conyers resigns (but wants son to succeed him).

Congress is a 'family business' in Detroit?

Heh.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Who polices the police?

FIRST HE HAD TO REMOVE IT: Geraldo Rivera opens mouth, inserts foot.

ANALYSIS, TRUE: The Left doesn’t care about morals; it cares about power.

JOURNALISTS NOTE small crowd at Trump's Christmas tree lighting.

What would you expect in the middle of a Democrat stronghold swamp?

FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures, my favorite:

Now go see the rest.

ERR ... about that mountain of debt?

DON'T BELIEVE these myths about the Senate's tax reform bill.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA: replacing a toilet seat in the White House is racist.

YEAH, RIGHT: NBC News boss vows 'most severe' punishment for those who kept silent about Matt Lauer.

'Most severe' means "Hold out your hand so I can slap your wrist."

SARAH HOYT: The moving finger fingers our 'moral betters'.

Shoot the abusers, and don't give the victims enablers a pass.

FAKE NEWS - AGAIN: ABC Issues major correction after botched Flynn report.

More here.

[UPDATE] Brian Ross canned (but only for 4 weeks).

GOD BLESS US, every lousy one.

TODAY'S CITIES are playgrounds for the elites.

That's enough to ensure I'll never move back.

TROLL MASTER: Trump critics love chasing the laser dot.

THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES of the Steinle decision.

MICHAEL RAMERIZ on the Kate Steinle verdict. Given that the bullet that killed Steinle was a ricochet, the verdict may have been correct. Nevertheless, Rameriz is absolutely correct; the city of San Francisco is guilty as hell.

EIGHT YEARS AGO TODAY: The more things change, the more they stay the same. Except now the Democrats are worried the President does have a strategy.

GOP SCORES MAJOR TAX REFORM VICTORY after Democrats said they had no time to read the 500-page, ‘scribbled’ small print.

Heh. Heh, heh, heh.

WHEN THEY PRY THE STEERING WHEEL FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS: When will they outlaw pickup trucks?

JEFF JACOBY: Scrap the ObamaCare mandate. The Senate just did. Now it's time for the House to follow.

MALLARD FILLMORE defines 'progressive'.

THEY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO? Media attack Melania Trump's Christmas decorations.

“IF THIS IS WRONG, I’d like to see the New York Times refute it.”

I've done the math - as the Republicans have suggested - and found that (a) my taxes will go down some, and (b), more important to me, I won't have to fill out Schedule A (Itemized Deductions) any more.

YES, AND I'M NOT SURPRISED: Are conservative families more stable than liberal families?

NEW FOR COLLEGE CAMPUSES: the 'whiteness protection program'.

You don't even have to be white to join....
