SARAH PALIN interviews Donald Trump.



As usual with anything Sarah Palin does, the Progressives go completely bonkers....
CHARLES BARKLEY: Blacks have always voted Democrat [at least in his lifetime], ‘and they’re still poor’. Yet he still leans toward the Democrats. Why?
WASHINGTON POST EDITORIAL WRITER about to become very unpopular with #BlackLivesMatter. Colbert I. King is black, and back when I was reading the Post, about the only editorial writer who was worth a hill of beans.

He is absolutely correct in his evaluation.
GERMAN PHYSICISTS: Late 20th century warming 'nothing unusual'.
President Obama is on his way to Alaska to promote global warming alarmism. I have been to Fairbanks in January, and all I can say is: if more atmospheric CO2 can raise the temperature there by 0.7 degree, it isn’t nearly enough!
Heh.
LOCKHEED MARTIN developing U-2 spy plane successor. When a news report like this appears in the open press along with the word 'developing', it's probably fair to assume that at least a prototype or two is already in the air above.
THE KEY TO DISASTER SURVIVAL? Friends and neighbors.

Pretty obvious when you stop to think about it. Also pretty obvious (and widely unsaid) is that the government does its level best to prevent you from helping yourself and your neighbors. There are a lot fewer jobs for 'first responders' when citizens realize that they can take care of themselves just fine,thank-you-very-much.
LIBERALS ARE name calling goons posing as intellectuals. It would be more accurate to leave off 'posing as intellectuals'.

THIS IS WHAT GOVERNMENT TRANSIT LOOKS LIKE. Metro: Track Defect Deleted From Inspection Report.
A technician “erroneously” deleted information....
The second part of Instapundit's lede "but government healthcare will be awesome!" reminds me that we already know how 'awesome' government healthcare will be.

Now we know what the meaning of 'is' is, to recall to another famous Clintonion fudge: 'erroneously deleted' is PC-speak for 'covered up'. For those of us old enough to remember Richard Nixon (he was impeached), then administration spokesman Ron Ziegler was once quoted as saying "This is the operative statement. The others are inoperative." Meaning, of course, that the previous statements were lies.

When it comes to government pronouncements, caveat emptor. Don't trust, verify.
ON THE VERGE of being overlawyered? Surely you jest.
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD declares war on franchises. It's nothing more than a ploy to force unions on franchise owners.

Remember the $15 minimum wage? Unions demanded it, Los Angeles adopted it, and now unions are before the city council asking to be exempt from the minimum wage requirement. If permitted, then they can go to companies and say essentially 'if you permit your company to be unionized, then you won't have to pay the minimum wage'. Same ploy here.
There’s always a chance a federal court ... [will see through the NLRB ruling}, ... but in the meantime, if you were thinking about opening a franchise operation, wouldn’t a ruling like this give you second thoughts? The uncertainty generated by this ruling will almost certainly have a negative impact on the franchise industry, thus placing another drag on an already sluggish economy.
But with the Obama administration, dragging the economy to a halt is the point.

HURRICANE KATRINA: What the media missed. News reports are 'the first draft of history', and as such, are almost always wrong. Here's a much more sober assessment.

RASMUSSEN: Nearly 3 in 4 Americans think political correctness is a problem. Which is why Donald Trump is so wildly popular, and why more Republican candidates should follow his lead.

I would note that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie did exactly that earlier today on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.
THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN: A-10 vs F-35 in a cannon fire test. Watch the video, then read the comments: opinions are pretty strong on both sides.
HILLARY: Republicans want to round up illegals and put them in boxcars.

Wait a minute. Isn't that how Democrats got them here in the first place?

REPUBLICANS SHOULD TAKE A LESSON FROM TRUMP: Kick ass and take names.
NO. NEXT QUESTION? Was there a better way to stop Anwar al-Awlaki than by assassinating killing him?
