WEALTH, POVERTY, AND FLIGHT: the same old State of California.

Sad. Hanson's modern-day California reminds me of Heinlein's future history as described in his novel I Will Fear No Evil.

TONE-DEAF LEFTIST DERP MONKEY flings poo, smears self.

LIBERAL FEMINIST on the Democrat presidential candidates du jour:

I had high hopes for Kamala Harris, but she missed a huge opportunity to play a moderating, statesmanlike role and has already imprinted an image of herself as a ruthless inquisitor that will make it hard for her to pull voters across party lines.

Screechy Elizabeth Warren has never had a snowball’s chance in hell to appeal beyond upper-middle-class professionals of her glossy stripe. Kirsten Gillibrand is a wobbly mediocrity. Cory Booker has all the gravitas of a cork. Andrew Cuomo is a yapping puppy with a long, muddy bullyboy tail. Both Bernie Sanders (for whom I voted in the 2016 primaries) and Joe Biden (who would have won the election had Obama not cut him off at the knees) are way too old and creaky.

As for Hillary, she’s pretty much damaged goods, but her perpetual, sniping, pity-me tour shows no signs of abating.

There's much, much more - from the 'deep state' to multiculturalism to the 'intellectual dark web' to hypocrisy and humor.

Go read it all.

HEH: The Knights of Columbus responds to Senators Mazie Hirono and Kamala Harris.

My (sarcastic) translation: "Up yours, 'ladies'".

WE KNOW WHAT FANTASY WORLD HE LIVES IN: Departing California Gov. Jerry Brown blasts ‘rural areas’ for not liking gas tax that disproportionately harms them.

Don't those peasants know that they must sacrifice to save the world for the self-anointed?

HEH: THE 'GREEN NEW DEAL' ISN'T GREEN. It isn't even new, it's just socialist.

More here.

DESTINED TO SINK: Elizabeth Warren is the Titanic of Democrats.

The Democrat party is a harbor full of Titanics....

ANSWER, YES. Are vegans guilty of cultural appropriation?

PROOF THAT familiarity breeds contempt.

NON SEQUITUR'S New Year prediction.

"THEY CLOSED THE INSANE ASYLUMS, AND OPENED THE UNIVERSITIES. I don't think that was coincidental."

See the comments. I think Comrade Terry is right; when they closed the nuthouses, they had to have someplace for the inmates to go....
