STUCK ON STUPID: Men must halt; women must walk. And women in pants must ... ???

THIS could get interesting.

A POINT DIFFICULT TO ARGUE:

A little girl was leaning into a lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, all under the eyes of her screaming parents

A biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, "Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life."

The Harley rider replies, "Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right."

The reporter says, "Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?"

The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I voted for Trump".

The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

"U.S. Marine assaults African immigrant and steals his lunch"

Truer words were never written. From my email.

WORRIED LIBERALS would like to redraw the order of presidential succession. They're losing power; they know it; and they're going bat-shit crazy (not that it was a big leap from just plain crazy).

A CRACK IN THE WALL: Joe Manchin reportedly will defy Democrat filibuster and vote for cloture on Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court.

Even though I like Joe Manchin - and there are other cracks in the filibuster wall - I hope the filibuster succeeds so that McConnell can nuke it before the next Supreme Court nomination.

NIKKI HALEY TO THE UN: ‘The days of Israel bashing are over’. High heels, used properly, can hurt. (It's a trivial exercise in mathematics to prove that a 120-pound woman in heels can do more damage to a floor than a 12,000 pound elephant.)

AT MSNBC: Barack Obama's press secretary just landed a brand new job.

Even Obama flunkies have to eat....

TWIT TWEETS, gets hypocrisy exposed.

Punching back is a beautiful thing.

HISPANIC CONTRACTOR wants to build Trump's wall.

Heh.

ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, taxpayers spend 6.1 billion hours a year just to comply with the federal tax code.

Some of that 6 billion hours is mine....

DON'T SNICKER: Whoopi Goldberg says 'The View' is more credible than Fox News.

Laugh out loud instead....

IT'S ONLY FAIR WHEN WE DO IT: Masked agitators attack President's supporters, whine when MAGA strikes back.

SO NOW THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE is responsible for Green Weenie awards?

WITH AN AR-15, three against one is not a problem.

FOX NEWS: where the grown-ups go for information.

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. No cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. Then we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22-inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self-esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self-esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND while you are on Government subsistence, you no longer can vote! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

From my email. I particularly like the last paragraph - on government subsistence, you can't vote. I'd like to see it extended to government employees at all levels: if you're a full-time federal employee, you can't vote in federal elections; if you're a full-time state employee, you can't vote in state elections; if you're a full-time city/county employee, you can't vote in city/county elections; etc.

POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures has posted. My favorite, by far:

And, of course, go and see the rest.

THE FIVE DUMBEST QUESTIONS put to Neil Gorsuch. No surprise; all were posed by Dumbocrats Democrats. Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) topped the list with two.

BLUEXIT: A modest proposal for separating blue states from red.

I look forward to 'Bluexit' - it will make the collapse of Blue America that much faster as they run out of money to pay for the free stuff that their base demands.

YOU'RE ONLY WHITE if you disagree with progressive orthodoxy.
