ANN COULTER makes a fair point about the Iran imbroglio:

Just in terms of American Lives Snuffed Out, the greatest threat to our country, hands down, comes from Mexico. Doesn’t “national security” have something to do with keeping Americans alive?

Mexican heroin killed at least 14,000 Americans last year. Mexican fentanyl and methamphetamine killed about 10,000 to 14,000. Hispanic drunk drivers -- Mexicans or other Hispanics given safe passage to the U.S. through Mexico -- kill about 3,000 Americans every year.

That’s not to mention the random murders, the Kate Steinles, the cartel and gang killings, and even the occasional mass murder committed by Mexicans in the U.S.

Maybe we are spending to much time worrying about Iran (and North Korea for that matter).

SCREECHES WITH FIST suggested on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the timing of the operation targeting the Shia militia terrorist commanders in Iraq was ... because IMPEACHMENT!

SANCTUARY CITIES: A legal victory for the Trump administration. It doesn't mean that sanctuary cities will go away, but it does mean that we won't have to pay for them.

Thanks to PJM's Morning Briefing column for the link.

BUT THERE IS A REALLY STUPID ONE: There is no clever Democrat impeachment strategy.

FOR TECH-WEARY MIDWEST FARMERS, 40-year-old tractors now a hot commodity. I hope we'll soon see something similar for tech-weary automobile owners.

THE DIPLOMAD has some very interesting thoughts on the recent dispatch of General Qasim Soleimani.

Go read them.

AS PART OF MY GRADUATE EDUCATION, it was became clear that mathematicians were 'off center'. 'Woke' mathematicians are certifiably insane.

GOOD EXCELLENT NEWS: Terrorists in Iraq, fearing U.S. targeting, are fleeing and hiding after Soleimani.

HOUSE REPUBLICAN proposes using tax code to combat climate change.

It's certainly a better approach than the Obama administration's picking and choosing winners and losers (Solyndra, anyone?) but I'm still skeptical. I'd prefer the government get the hell out of the way and leave private enterprise alone.

FOR WHOM? Bernie Sanders claims Medicare for All 'will create more jobs in health care than we will lose'.

I think we already have more than enough health care nannies.

IT LOOKS LIKE the Ukrainian airliner may have been accidentally(?) shot down in Iran.

SO 'HATE AMERICA' IS PATRIOTIC? CNN's Brian Stelter says patriotism 'alive and well' at network.

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: Democrats grasping at straws to impeach Trump now regret banning straws.

IRAN'S MULLAHS may be right.

IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. It's Machiavelli. And I suspect our President understands Machiavelli.

THAT MUST HURT.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED because our governing elites were incompetent?

I SUSPECT A PIQUE FIT ON THE PART OF THE PROSECUTION PERSECUTION: Was it something he said?

WHILE THIS POST IS FROM 2013, I suspect the capability is still there. And I wouldn't be surprised to see it used in the relatively near term.

WELL, NOT YET ANYWAY: Democrats' proposed gun control bill doesn't ban all private indoor gun ranges.
