HOW ABOUT FLOODING CALIFORNIA WITH CRIMINAL-BASHING PROSECUTORS? Voters reject Soros' big-money bid to flood California with cop-bashing prosecutors.

COMMENT OF THE DAY:

I tried losing nice with Romney. Didn't like the taste it left in my mouth.

I prefer winning with Trump.

From this Don Surber post.

WOKEST PRESIDENT EVER? Starbucks founder ponders run for president, possibly opening WH bathrooms to all.

Maybe he should run for mayor of Seattle first?

MAINSTREAM MEDIA: It's all Trump's fault we spread those vicious rumors about Melania.

[Update]: CNN's Brian Stelter defends the mainstream media. Poorly.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION TO CONGRESS: “F them.”

IT'S A BIT LATE, JOE: Manchin says he regrets Clinton support.

MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY: "[W]here the SJW idiocy seems never-ending."

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COLLECT CATER TO THE HOMELESS: Seattle has collected 42,000 pounds of garbage around homeless camps in just 3 weeks.

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: soon to come to a Miss America pagent near you.

HEH: Recess is canceled! Which is appropriate since Congress is acting like a bunch of spoiled first-graders.

McConnell should next make the Senators sit in their desks with their heads down for an hour or two....

NFL VS NASCAR AND NASCAR WINS: Yo, Philly! Trump says your Eagles can go take a knee somewhere else.

Not on the peoples' White House lawn.

WITH SOME LUCK: We won’t have Keith Ellison to kick around any more.

Good riddance to bad rubbish....

A CLUELESS FINAL YEAR: "[A] devastating portrait of mandarin entitlement gone horribly wrong."

CNN SHOULD APOLOGIZE to the NRA and spokeswoman Dana Loesch for their witch hunt/dog and pony show/kangaroo court 'townhall'.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: California and conservatism:

Conservatives know that the problem with California is not skin color, ethnic affinity, or race, but rather a juxtaposition of historically unprecedented great wealth on the coast and the culture it spawns — especially in high technology, government, finance, entertainment, and academia — with dire poverty in the state’s north and interior, some the result of years of open borders and illegal immigration. The result is a state in which the pernicious consequences of elite policymaking are never quite experienced by their insulated architects.

Open borders are fine, but then so are their proponents’ gated communities and the growth in coastal private academies and prep schools, as the public schools score near bottom in the nation’s test scores. Water transfers are the obsolete projects of a bygone age, but not those such as Hetch Hetchy, vital to Bay Area survival. Expensive gas and electricity are good green policies, but their deleterious consequences fall most heavily on the distant inland poor of the much hotter and colder interior. The nation’s highest basket of income, sales, and gas taxes can be either avoided or easily paid by those who are most in favor of them.

And, yes, there are enormous demographic changes in the state going on. One in four residents was not born in the U.S. Somewhere near 4 million Californians have left in recent years. The Democratic party has largely bifurcated into a pyramidal, medieval organization of the few very wealthy and the many very poor, the former pursuing iconic green and identity politics and gender issues, the later increasingly dependent on social services.

California is a state with the nation’s most billionaires and some of the highest per capita income communities in the country, while home to one-third of the nation’s welfare recipients, with a fifth of the population living below the poverty line. My own rural community is now part of a tri-county region that is more impoverished than Appalachia; most of my former neighbors’ farmhouses now have ad hoc trailers and shacks behind them, often resulting in ten or 15 residents per home. Sheriff raids to break up drug production, prostitution rings, and gang violence are not trumped-up conservative angst, but common in our rural neighborhood.

Is there any hope?

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: Have you quit beating your wife yet?

Liberal loons, mainstream media and Democrats (but of course I repeat myself (thrice over)) have gone completely nuckin' futz.

MAUREEN DOWD sums up Obama.

Obama did not like persuading people to do what they didn’t want to do.... He wanted them simply to do what he had ascertained to be right.

He knew the proles were too dumb to know what's best for them.

JUST LEAVE YOUR 'CALIFORNIA VALUES' BEHIND: Nearly 50 percent of Californians say they want to move out soon.

MOLES.

OUR RULES ARE FOR LITTLE PEOPLE, NOT US: Liberals (once again) exempt themselves from the rules.
