LEBRON JAMES on why Ohio voted for Trump: Lack of education.

Especially if their collegiate degrees were in the liberal arts....

NEW YALE COLLEGE celebrates 'transgressive gender expression', calls its students 'lemurs'.

Regarding my earlier post about bringing back insane asylums, I have to admit we've probably already done so....

A MARINE'S LETTER to the National Football League. Well said, sir. And thank you for your service.

TRUMP IS CORRECT: NFL teams can legally fire players for their conduct.

And Greg Jarrett is also correct:

Don’t expect NFL owners to do the right thing by firing players. They’ve been coddling them for years, paying lavish salaries and tolerating misbehavior that is now endemic in football. Along the way, owners have become rich beyond imagination. The players run the teams, not the owners.

But we the people have the final say - with our wallets. Enough wallet closures and they'll begin to pay attention.

SPEAKER PAUL RYAN will not allow Congressional action on national concealed carry reciprocity to move bills forward.... The reason given is Ryan thinks the timing isn’t right to consider H.R. 2909, the D.C. Personal Protection Reciprocity Act, a supplement to state reciprocity provisions of H.R. 38.

So when will the timing be right?

RANDOM THOUGHT: Back in the 1950's when I first started reading science fiction I never dreamed I'd actually be living in Heinlein's "crazy years".

MORE PROOF THAT CALIFORNIANS ARE EFFIN' NUTS: Coffee sold in California could carry cancer warning labels.

Here's the kicker:

The lawyer taking on Big Coffee said the larger goal is to motivate the industry to remove the chemical from coffee, which would also benefit his own three-cup-a-day fix.

"I'm addicted — like two-thirds of the population," attorney Raphael Metzger said. "I would like the industry to get acrylamide out of the coffee so my addiction doesn't force me to ingest it."

He's crazy an addict, so rather than quit his addiction he wants to make his craziness addiction safe.

I'd say we need to bring back insane asylums, but a wall around California should be sufficient....

HOW TO PLAY FOOTBALL: snowflake edition.

ANALYSIS, TRUE: Conservative, Inc., is being replaced by us militant normals.

FROM A FRIEND OF A FRIEND WHO STILL LIVES IN CALIFORNIA:

"One word says it all! One of 'those' days is how I feel in Democratic California."

It's been 18 years now and I'm even more grateful to be an ex-Californian

YET ANOTHER farewell to the National Football League.

SICKENING: How Obama is funding the anti-Trump resistance.

The Obama-nation was our worst political class ever. Not that the Republicans are doing much better.

NFL: No Fans Left. Especially after yesterday, I'm swearing off anything to do with the NFL.

Screw 'em.

TWO CARTOONS that express my contempt for progressive culture.

NFL: No Fans Left. Coming soon to a stadium near you.

THE LEFT wants supermen to rule, but they aren't even giants.

Hell, they aren't even pygmies....

TRUMP: ‘Fire or suspend’ players who kneel for National Anthem. Agree, with the emphasis on 'fire them'. I suspect there are plenty of almost-as-good athletes out there who would be thrilled for the opportunity to stand for the National Anthem on an NFL playing field.

And until that happens, screw the NFL - I'll watch major league soccer instead.

CHICAGO’S AWESOME NEW SODA TAX produces predicted results. It won't be just shoppers leaving; it will come to residents leaving for greener less intrusive pastures.

DAILY BEAST: You know who the real hero of Florida after Irma was, right?

Only if you absolutely, positively, have to have that last cup of coffee....

NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL: President Trump’s recent comments about players kneeling during the national anthem are “divisive” and show a “lack of respect” for the pro football league and its players.

Oh, nuts. He should look in a mirror; it is he and the professional football league he leads who are unworthy of any respect. I used to enjoy pro football, but for the nonce I think I'll limit myself to collegiate football - and international futbol (i.e., soccer).
