HEH: "President Trump’s approval ratings, often mocked by Democrats and the media, top those of Europe’s biggest three leaders, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Britain’s Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron."

Our 'ruling class' is proving to be quite ordinary.

AMMO GRRRLL must be thrilled: Kathy Griffin comes unglued.

'I AM GREATLY EMBARRASSED': CBS, PBS star Charlie Rose suspended after 8 women accuse him of unwanted sexual advances.

Embarrassed that he got caught....

Our 'cultural elite' are proving to be so ... ordinary.

LOIS LERNER: Save me from those crazed taxpayers!

[Update]

The former IRS employee and her deputy asked a federal court to keep their testimonies in the Tea Party targeting case private forever, over fear of death threats and potential harm to their families if the documents go public.

The reason the Left always accuses Tea Party members - and conservatives generally - of planning violent retribution is that it is exactly what they would do if the roles were reversed.

It's called projection.

MORE PROOF that liberal colleges and universities are the 21st century's insane asylums: access to the outdoors is now a form of white supremacy.

AUTUMN LEAVES, November 19:

Here's this weeks view of the onset of winter. From the deck, the only difference from last week is more haze and more leaves on the ground.

From the driveway, there is a bit more leaf clutter post last week's cleaning, and a few more down from the trees.

The same lack of change is evident in the pond view as well, even though the vantage point is a bit further down the stair. There simply are no more leaves to drop.

Finally, here's a view of our home from across the pond.

I cleared (by hand!) all the property to the right of the stair this year. Next year I think I'll let the property to the left of the stair alone....

ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE IDIOT self-identifies.

HEH: "The media’s ability to pivot on a dime in the same week from throwing a dissipated Bill Clinton overboard and attacking Roy Moore to granting Franken a very ‘90s-era one free grope rule is amazing to watch."

The definition of 'spin'.

DEMOCRATS: It's not fair when you play our gutter politics against us! Democrats are accusing Republicans of 'white identity' victimization group politics.

Is it real, or is it projection? My vote is for projection, an example of which is the Democrats' 360-degree spin-about on the Roy Moore/Bill Clinton/Al Franken sexcapade accusations. Herewith my favorite quote:

So it was a cheap display of virtue without consequences. Which, come to think of it, is virtually the definition of leftism in a nutshell.

Read the whole thing.

IMPRIMIS: Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) on immigration reform. Read it all.

FAKE NEWS: A mysterious robocall in Alabama out there from someone claiming to be a reporter from the Washington Post, seeking 'damaging' info on Roy Moore for money.

Almost certainly fake ... except that there is a Washington Post reporter named Lenny Bernstein. Washington Post journalists are both stupid and biased, but that stupid and biased?

POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures is expansive this week. Here's my favorite:

It did end WWII.

And this one leaves me scratching my head. If they're so against work, have they thought about quitting and going on the dole?

Apparently it's an anarchist-communist group (another head scratcher) in England.

Now go and see the rest.

THE 'PRIMAL SCREAM' of our (self-appointed) elites on finding out that they are merely ordinary.

We still have insane asylums; we just call them universities....

RIGHT IDEA. Wrong network.
