HISTORY TEACHER tells students that the armed forces are the lowest of the low. To his 'credit', he shares his opinion with another low-life, but having spent over 40 years of my life working closely with armed forces personnel as a college instructor (graduate level), defense contractor (system design), and embedded consultant (in Iraq), I can assure you that by any measure - intellectual, moral, or ethical - Mr. Salcido is not in their class.

Hell, he's not even in the same room....

Update: Salcido has been removed from the classroom; the next step is to fire him and revoke his teaching certificate - he should never be allowed in a classroom again.

HEH. GLOBAL WARMING is causing islands to rise from the ocean.

REMEMBER 'FILEGATE'? The Clintons have been using the FBI against their enemies for years.

FBI'S PETER STRZOK calls Loudoun county (VA) residents 'hillbillies'. I lived in Prince William county (adjacent to Loudoun county) for 15 years; I only wish I could have afforded to be one of the hillbillies there.

Strzok is an arrogant - and probably jealous - ass.

SURPRISED, ARE WE?

From the moment it dawned on Hillary Clinton, late on election night, that she had managed to blow a fixed fight, and that there would, therefore, be hell to pay, the Democrat-Deep State-Media Complex suddenly had to conceal their own malfeasance by doing what the Left does best — projecting its own sins onto others.

Not. But read the full article anyway.

DEMOCRATS’ MEMO won’t be released (yet).

White House counsel Don McGahn said in a letter to the committee that the memo contains “numerous properly classified and especially sensitive passages” and asked the Democrats to revise the memo with the help of the Justice Department.

As a wise commenter noted, the entire point of the Democrat's memo was to force Trump to redact it, allowing them to claim that Trump is afraid of the content in the memo. The President called their bluff by sending it back to them for revision with the assistance of their very own Justice Department/FBI co-conspirators. In other words, follow the exact same procedures he followed with the Republican memo.

Heh.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK OUTSIDE WASHINGTON, D.C., say their way of life and values have not changed. But they think those who live, work and legislate inside the Beltway have, frankly, gone bonkers about everything.

SO YOU IN THE ACADEMY FINALLY NOTICED? Higher education no longer caters to the best and brightest; indeed, the better students are sacrificed in favor of the mediocre and the clamorous.

To put it bluntly, the university has become, variously, a playpen for wimps and a training ground for thugs.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
