THE FBI has 'grave concerns' about releasing the House Intelligence Committee's memo? I agree. As PowerLine notes, "The Bureau needs, at a minimum, to be reformed via a thorough housecleaning of senior bureaucrats."

And not just the FBI -- all of Washington D.C. would be a good beginning.

RANDOM THOUGHT on the State of the Union speech. The Democrats presented themselves as a bunch of ugly, spoiled brats. Even on their worst days, neither of my children ever behaved that badly.

Their parents should be ashamed.

OPEN LETTER to Melinda Byerley: Thank you for your generous offer not to share your presence with us 'violent, racist, and/or misogynistic stupid people who live in the shithole known as rural America'. We much prefer that you and your self-anointed elitist narcissists remain in your pristine urban enclaves.

Again, thank you for not subjecting us to your lunacy.

DONALD TRUMP, JR: "Boots, not suits." Talking about his father's priorities on Hannity last night.

CLASS ACT: Liberal author Jonathan Tasini celebrates fatal GOP train accident: ‘God is working hard today’.

I doubt he'll be working for CNN again anytime soon.

EXCLUSIVE: Schiff memo leaks to PowerLine.

Heh.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Inside every dark cloud is a Democrat.

DON'T DRINK COFFEE WITH A STRAW IN CALIFORNIA. Or you might end up in jail with cancer.

CRUMBS? JUST CRUMBS? House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: Bonuses of $1,000 are "crumbs".

Uh, huh. Let's look at the data. According to the Social Security Administration the average wage at the beginning of the Obama administration in 2009 was $39,653 (~$19.06/hr). At the end of the Obama administration in 2016 it was $46,120 (~$22.17/hr), an annual growth rate of 2.2%. That Trump tax cut induced bonus may be a 'crumb' to Miz Pelosi, but it exceeds the average annual wage growth during the entire Obama administration (2.4% vice 2.2%).

Somehow I don't think a bonus that probably exceeds last year raise would be considered a 'crumb' by most working Americans.

Miz Pelosi should try working some time - she might come to appreciate the value of hard-earned money.

CALIFORNIA ON FEDERAL TAX CUT: It's really our money and we're kindly letting you have half.

America really needs a major earthquake to send the rogue state of West California out to sea....

NOT JUST LINDSEY GRAHAM: out of the mainstream on immigration.

It's the entire ruling bureaucracy that's out of the mainstream. Their contempt for those they think they represent is increasingly obvious, and now, with Donald Trump's election, our growing contempt for them is turning toward action in the 2018 mid-terms.

NEWTON MINOW WAS RIGHT: television has gone from a 'vast wasteland' in the 1960's to an even more vast wasteland in 2018.

TRUMP-VOTING DEMOCRATS are delighted in Ohio. Off-air, I'll bet CNN's newsers really got their knickers in a twist.

IN THE UNITED STATES: Christianity isn't shrinking, it's growing stronger. Living where I do, I find the assertion believable.

TREVOR NOAH: continuing proof that the Left is inherently racist.

DAN RATHER: tanned, rested, and ready to report Leftist 'reality'.

LIBERALS can't help going Nazi. Greg Poops. What an appropriate name....

What? It's Proops? Oh, sorry....

CNN'S JIM ACOSTA: putting the 'me' in media.

HARSH WORDS: "Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants."

But true ones.

IT SEEMS THE DNC CHAIR really hates his job. It would be more accurate to leave off the last two words.
