HERE'S A THOUGHT FROM DAY 2 OF THE DEMOCRAT DEBATE: During the initial healthcare segment I recall one of the candidates (don't recall which one) railed against the pharmaceutical industry's $72 billion profits. Now we all know that math is not a Democrat strong suit, but as Stephen Green pointed out, "Here's some math: $72 billion in profits isn't much in a $4 trillion industry."

For the innumerate, that's a 1.8% profit margin. Think of it this way: if you're the owner of a small business whose sole income is the profit from that business, $1M in annual business income will net you a mere $18,000.

FROM YESTERDAY'S DEBATE: Who's on top?


What will the result be for tonight's debate?
THE GREEN NEW STEAL: America is rapidly beoming a debtor's prison from which there is no exit.

If I were President Trump, I'd send every illegal immigrant a bill for their share of the National Debt ... pay up or leave.
THE ENTIRE DEMOCRAT PLATFORM in one cartoon.
THE DEBATE FACT CHECK IS COMPLETE: Snopes pre-approves all statements made during tonight's Democrat debate.
THE SEVEN DUMBEST THINGS Democrats insist you believe.
AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF BEING A 'RUSSIAN OPERATIVE', Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemns 'modern-day McCarthyism'.
ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS NOT BE CRAZY. DNC Chair Tom Perez: Climate Change ‘Threatens Our Universe.’
RAND PAUL: I’d help pay for a ticket to Somalia so that Ilhan Omar can remind herself what it’s like.

As long as it's a one-way ticket....
SEATTLE-AREA COUNCILMAN: Power washing shit-covered sidewalks might be racially insensitive.

That's socialism - a success when everywhere is a shithole.
SNOPES IS NOT AMUSED ... by the Babylon Bee.

UPDATE: Nor is the Babylon Bee enamored of Snopes.
GOP TAKE NOTE: You’re allowed to go on the attack.

Follow your leader. Please.
WHO WINS? The Trump card or the race card?
ISSUES & INSIGHTS: Trump’s attack on Baltimore doesn’t go far enough. There are 8 other Democrat-controlled cities higher on Orkin's 'rattiest cities' list.

And then there are the cities with the most income inequality. Mostly Democrat. And the worst-run cities? Again, mostly Democrat.

BELABORING THE OBVIOUS: The Democrats, not Trump, are the racists.
MAUREEN DOWD (AND NANCY PELOSI) are now on the progressive's chopping block.
Pelosi and Dowd are part of the team that decided demographics was the key to Democrat dominance in the second half of this century when white people are a minority.

What they overlooked was they are white people. And they will be a minority in their party long before the nation is.

So you have a couple of generations of Women of Color and the like who hate the country and think they are entitled to power.

The Squad is just a taste of what to expect.
Democrats eat their own. They always eat their own.
OBERLIN COLLEGE'S attempt to fight $25M judgment backfires - now they owe $36M.
IT’S DIFFERENT when Trump says it. Because reasons.
SORRY, WHITE WOMEN, your victim card has been revoked.

See John (Joanna?) Wick: Chapter 2 for the outcome.
JUST BECAUSE IT’S YELLOW, IT’S NOT NECESSARILY BUTTER. The same is true of the mainstream media; it's not necessarily journalism.
DEREK HUNTER: Democrats have lost what was left of their minds.

Note that Hunter is being generous by assuming that they have minds to begin with.
PRICKLY CITY: 'Caffeinated works, but I would prefer 'hyphenated'.
