HIGHER EDUCATION: You're not innocent unless we say so.
ENVIRONMENTAL NARCISSISM has Georgetown residents paying more than $1,000 per household in higher electricity charges over the last four years.

Georgetown is the north end of the progressive metroplex known as Austin, Texas. It's going to take a lot more fencing/concertina wire to contain them than I had originally anticipated, but then everything is bigger in Texas.
IT'S CALLED HISTORY: Lessons From the Past. And if you can't learn from it, you'll be condemned to repeat it (until you learn).

The one thing I've learned from history is that Liberals never learn from history.
JUST ANOTHER LIBERAL DUNCE wanting to control the world for its own good.
HMM: Record cold forces rethink on global warming. I'm old enough to remember when anthropogenic global warming staved off a new ice age. Maybe it's time to try it again....
WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST MONICA HESSE: Kamala Harris’ “love life” should be out of bounds.

Was Trump's?
IF YOU TAX THEM, they will go. Elsewhere.
THE EXPERTS TOLD US SO: "[C]old temperatures are a thing of the past, even in northern Minnesota."
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING: What 'big media' learned this week.

"Get Woke, Go Broke" is not a viable business model....
RANDOM THOUGHT: Good fences make good neighbors.

I found it interesting that Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" has supporters on both the pro- and anti-wall sides of the fence. My thought is that the U.S. should have border fences 'from sea to shining sea' on both the northern and southern borders, solid barriers in some places to prevent illegal entry, wooden fences in others as a reminder that our side belongs to us, that you're welcome to visit, but that our laws and customs must be respected while you visit.
VICTORY GIRLS ON BEING THE GOOD SAMARITAN: the man who fell at WalMart.
THE REASON THE LEFT HATES BILLIONAIRES is that the billionaires have money that the Left believes rightfully belongs to them.


Here's Binswanger's earlier post, which caused frothing paroxyms of rage within the progressive Left.
HE NEEDS TO GET OUT MORE: Washington Post reporter calls Trump supporters 'rubes'.

He might find out that we don't have nearly that high opinion of him or his 'journalist' colleagues.
JOURNALISM: Stop-me-before-I-tweet-again. I would suggest they think before they tweet, but that would be too hard - they're journalists, after all.
WE DEMAND ... something! I watched maybe 30 seconds of the first (Austin,TX) 'couple' before I gave up in disgust. See if you can do better.
GREGG JARRETT: Stone indictment shows no evidence of Trump-Russia ‘collusion’. What it - and Mueller's other indictments - does show clearly is that there should never, ever be another Special Counsel with prosecutorial powers appointed for any reason whatever.
I might be willing to consider something along the lines of a 'Special Investigator', provided that office's sole authority would be to issue a report detailing its findings to the American citizenry. I would also require that office be severely limited in time (say, 1 year), scope, and budget, with all authorizing documents made publicly available;
have no prosecutorial authority; be required to issue periodic reports to the American public; and report only to a designated bipartisan subcommittee of Congress.
Short of that, never again.
THE DESTRUCTION OF VENICE BEACH epitomizes California’s idiocracy.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE LEFT?

The core Left have always been foaming-at-the-mouth crazy; all Trump did was pull the curtain aside.
CAN'T WIN THE DEBATE? Change the rules.
A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT FOR PROGRESSIVES: How about we try the shoe on the other foot?
I will no longer tolerate any clothing featuring the hammer and sickle. The hammer and sickle is the symbol of a totalitarian ideology that has murdered millions since its conception. The very sight of this iconography triggers me to such a degree that I feel perfectly justified abusing total strangers who've made the choice to wear it on their bodies. I don't care about their reasons. I don't care about their excuses. I don't even care how old they are. If anyone displays that Commie crap in my presence, he deserves whatever he gets.
Now go read the rest.
EVEN GOOD INTENTIONS can have bad consequences.

They could try sending them to New York, but the benefits are only available to illegal immigrants.

It's a no-brainer that when you offer people free -- or almost free -- stuff, they're going to take it. But, then, progressives have no brains.
