TWENTY QUOTES that explain why capitalism is better than socialism.
THIS ONE WOULD WEAR OUT SARAH HOYT'S SHOCKED FACE: Lesbian couple identifying as straight couple prepares to transition 5-yr-old son into a daughter.

Proof that truth is often stranger than fiction. I feel sorry for the kid.
DON'T LOOK IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. Where are the adults?

The full article is here.
THE FBI HAD ALREADY promised CNN good footage.
HEH: Sometimes a crap product doesn't sell.

Unless the price is low [in the sense of IQ] enough.
CRITICAL THEORY QUOTES: At the intersection of idiocy and insanity. I think this is the best description of the progressives' group stupidity I've seen yet.

Linked from Instapundit here.
YOU'LL FIND IT AT THE BOOKSTORE IN THE 'FICTION' AISLE: CNN’s Jim Acosta to write book about media’s relationship with Trump.

And if you can't find it there, try the 'fantasy' aisle....
IF YOU LOVE SELF-DRIVING CARS, you might want to think again.
YEAH, the Covington kids have a case.
It’s a new age. It’s brought forth new atrocities. We need to decide as a society whether we are going to accept this dreadful phenomenon or stamp it out by making the perpetrators pay. If the old legal framework cannot right this wrong, then we need to create a new legal framework that will. And you do that by suing the hell out of them.
Lawfare isn't just for Liberals any more.
DIMOCRATS (not a misspelling) block Republican move to pay federal workers. Impoverished workers make better cudgels.

UPDATE: the cudgel worked. This time.
OH, YOU SUCK: Washington Post eats it over their Nathan Phillips Vietnam war veteran story. Kurt Schlichter was not kind on Twitter...

Now if only the Washington Post would check on his 'tribal elder' status. My bet is that the correct term is 'tribal older'.
AMMO GRRRLL: Girls and 'girly men' gone vile!
STOP US BEFORE WE BECLOWN OURSELVES AGAIN! Twitter is ruining journalism, mostly by revealing the smug partisans who make up its ranks:
Speaking of the media, in particular the NY Times: “Millions of Americans believe you hate them and that you will causally harm them.” So long as journalists remain on Twitter they will continue to reveal to the rest of us what knee-jerk, smug, contemptuous left-wing hacks many of them are behind the facade of neutrality. As a window into what journalists really believe, Twitter may be a danger to their individual reputations, but it’s a public service to the rest of us.
Too true.
DEREK HUNTER: The soft bigotry of Liberal preconceptions.

Sorry, but there's nothing 'soft' about their bigotry.
MAGA HAT WEARING PATRON shames rude 'resistance' waitress (video plus commentary).
JESSE WATTERS: The Left's 'brains have been furloughed' during shutdown.

Sorry, Jesse, but you can't furlough something that's never worked to begin with.
I THOUGHT HE WAS A SOCIALIST: Bernie Sanders calls Venezuela economy a 'disaster'. And if you think he's a bloomin' idiot, check out Minnesota's Ilhan Omar.
WALLS CAN BE MADE FOOLPROOF; idiot-resistant is harder.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Auditing Our Auditors.

Key quote: "Inevitably, elites will insist that they should not be subject to the very rules they enforce on others." And I would add that they insist that they be paid extra for the burden of enforcing rules on others that they exempt themselves from.
DEMOCRATS UNHAPPY WITH 'INTEMPERATE' LANGUAGE. I wonder why....
A TRUISM: one we're seeing (in vivid color) played out today.
BE CAREFUL what you wish for on the minimum wage. You might get it.
MAYBE THIS IS WHY ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ RAN FOR OFFICE: Artificial Intelligence is coming for 36 million jobs, and sooner than you think.

I suspect bartenders are high on the list of replaceables....

ANOTHER THOUGHT: If artificial intelligence can drive cars and wait tables, would it be that difficult for AI robots to legislate? (On second thought, perhaps they already do.)
NANCY PELOSI as Dr. (Speaker) No:


Kellyanne Conway had it right.
