ELIZABETH WARREN'S "freeloading billionaires"?
Warren isn’t stupid, unlike so many Democratic presidential contenders. She knows she is dead wrong, but, because of her overweening lust for power, she doesn’t care. She and her husband are wealthy beyond the dreams of almost all Americans, but, to fuel her burning ambition, she lies about 600 people who are even richer than she is. This woman must never come near the presidency.
I'm inclined to question Hinderaker's assertion that Warren 'isn't stupid'. How else do you explain her Medicare for All proposal?
'WOKENESS WOES' Gas turbines have become by far the best choice for add-on generating power.

Except that California is already banning natural gas.
ONCE AN IDIOT, ALWAYS AN IDIOT: Al Gore is here to bore us all again with climate change hysteria.
WHITE IS GOOD, unless it's bad.
WELL, it's called an election.
AMMO GRRRLL returns home (hilariously). But there is an important point from her at the very end.
It is Veterans Day and I just listened to a moving and inspiring speech by the President. Every word about the veterans and not one word about himself. He is a better speaker than Obama by a country mile. Just one more thing for which he gets no credit.
As usual, read it all.
KURT SCHLICTER: Pardons, military discipline, and the burden on our troops.

It's complicated.
VICTORY GIRLS: In praise of the freeloading billionaires.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: From impeachment to the Democrat debate, the same old, same old monotony.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ BELIEVES THERE'S TOO MUCH DIVISION IN THE COUNTRY. Addition and subtraction are hard enough.
HEH: This is one of the few reasons I'm happy to be finally retired. And I was only forced into it once a year....
WINTER ADVICE from PowerLine's Week in Pictures:


Now go see the rest.
ON THE IMPEACHMENT FIASCO, The Diplomad was prescient: An American coup d'etant?

HOW TO IDENTIFY your emotional triggers before they cause real harm.

My suggestions: understand that (1) your 'triggers' are your problem, not mine, and (2) the world does not revolve around you.

In plain English, GROW UP.
RANDOM THOUGHT: Foreign policy would be better served if the State Department's Foreign Service Officers were limited to travel by (sailing) ships and horseback and communication by written letters.
TUCKER CARLSON ON THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT: strident, intolerant, unbelievably dumb.
DRAMATIC COLOR FOOTAGE shows a bombed-out Berlin a month after Germany’s WWII defeat (1945).

I was in Berlin in the early 60's (1963 as I recall) and as a U.S. citizen was allowed to tour East Berlin. We went on a locked tour bus, no cameras allowed, through the Berlin wall at Checkpoint Charlie and drove for about an hour around the center of East Berlin. Eighteen years after WWII had ended, many, if not most, of the destroyed buildings you see in the latter minute of the video were still there, still destroyed.

The difference between East and West was astonishing. Most of West Berlin had been rebuilt, and most of East Berlin had not. It's understandable why so many East Germans were so desperate to get over, under, or through the Wall.
POWERLINE: the epic hypocrisy of Tom Steyer.

Very long and detailed. But read it anyway.
