NASA CHIEF: Trump's space force will guard U.S. from above. There's a lot of opinion being passed around that the 'Space Force' should be part of - or modeled after - the Air Force, but I disagree. It should be modeled after, but not be part of, the Navy/Marine Corps. Star Trek notwithstanding, the Navy/Marine Corps is the only U.S. military force with a history dating back to the founding of this Nation with a history of patrolling and enforcing U.S. law on the frontiers beyond our borders.

MICHAEL GOODWIN: Peter Strzok's arrogance is the product of a corrupt FBI. No, it isn't. It's the product of a corrupt governing class.

INSTAPUNDIT https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/302141/comments: "The amount of institutional damage being done to the FBI by its Hillary/Obama capture is enormous and not yet fully appreciated."

WE WOKE WORK: Striking a new low in corporate 'virtue'.

I am not in the market for WeWork’s services, but if I were, I would hire someone else, on the assumption that any company that is 1) this dumb, and 2) this distracted from its core mission is probably incompetent.

I think that can be safely said of any virtue signaler, corporate or individual.

Perhaps these 'woke companies' could take their virtue signaling to Asia and Africa, where it might (and I emphasize might) have some impact.

FOR CONTROL: Why Leftists become thugs.

The belief that you are so superior to others that you should be allowed to control them — it's that that inevitably moves people to violence and cruelty. In movies about American slavery, filmmakers always try to impress you with the brutality of the institution by showing rapes and whippings. But that gives a mistaken impression. Slavery isn't wrong because masters rape and whip their slaves. Masters rape and whip their slaves because slavery is wrong; because when you think yourself so superior to others that you no longer need their consent to govern them, you have created in your own mind the right to harass and hurt and bully them. You have turned yourself into a monster.

Or into a Leftist.

THOMAS SOWELL: his 30 best quotes.

My favorite is his last (#1): “There are no solutions; there are only trade-offs.” It's a favorite because that's what I did for a living for 30 years as a systems engineer in the defense industry. I usually described it as 'seeking the least worst solution'.

CHRIS SWECKER: GOP got played in the Strzok hearing.

Sorry, but I disagree - the America I know got front-row seats to a stunning display of smugness, arrogance, hypocrisy, deceit, contempt, outright lying, and probably criminal hostility to America's democracy on the part of the liberal governing class and their enablers in Congress.

John Brennan (CIA), James Clapper (DNI), James Comey (FBI), and Rod Rosenstein (DOJ) should all be criminally indicted and prosecuted, the senior management of all four departments fired, and their offices fumigated.

MORE FROM THE ANNALS OF GOVERNMENT STUPIDITY: The businessman in the cassock.

The only way to achieve less stupidity in government is with less government. The stupidity is inherent.

THANK YOU GOD for clueless Democrats.

Methinks that 'blue wave' is just water swirling around the drain....

THE SMUG IS STRONG IN THIS ONE: Voxplaining rural America.

While there are some serious elements in this article, what really chaps my ass is the implicit assumption on the part of interviewer and interviewee that somehow the rural way of life (i.e., culture) is less worthy than its urban counterpart. But how long do you suppose urban America would survive if rural America quit feeding them?

For my part I agree with this quote: "Give me small-town America over its cultured despisers any day."

THE FISA APPLICATIONS: DOJ's self-licking ice cream cone.

MR. PRESIDENT, drain the swamp. And if your appointees won't do it, fire them.

AND SOME OF THEM ARE RODENTS: Chicago named new 'rat capital' of the country.

FASTER FEILER FASTER: the journalistic race to the bottom.

A mad chariot race to Hell in a handbasket....

NEW YORKER COLUMNIST JOHN CASSIDY: Republicans are ruthless.

Would you like some vegan cheese to go with that whine?

JUSTICE APPLIED: Makes you feel good all over.

KURT SCHLICTER: Liberals are super sad about the Supreme Court.

A lot of people who have never been in a fistfight will tell you that you shouldn’t kick a man when he’s down. Baloney. That’s the best time to kick a man – before he can get up again and maybe put you on the ground – or in it.

If it’s worth fighting, it’s worth winning – decisively. And that’s what we need to do about the Supreme Court and everything else in our battle with progressive tyranny. We’re in a mortal struggle against the left – if you doubt it, just get on social media and they’ll tell you it’s a mortal struggle. They will also tell you that it’s open season on you if you dare resist. So, it behooves us to win, and there’s no reason we can’t immensely enjoy it while we do.

Stomp on them first; then sit back and enjoy the popcorn.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: 'We Have to Mobilize [for the children]'.

"Our nation is in a moral crisis," said Ocasio-Cortez in response to a question about why she went to the border just three days before the primary election.

"Every day that we allow these two thousand children that have been ripped from their parents -- which is an internationally recognized human rights violation, this is being done in our name, this is being done in representation of us as United States citizens -- every day that we allow the continued violation of those children's rights is the day I believe the moral character of the United States is at stake."

Every day, more than 2,500 children are 'ripped from their mother's womb' in the United States of America.

And the Democratic Socialists don't care....

ABSOLUTELY NO! Mueller seeks immunity, anonymity for 5 'potential witnesses' in Manafort trial.

There will be no star chambers.

RESISTANCE MOVEMENT vows to do anything to stop Trump short of treating other half of country with respect.

Theoretically it's satire but I prefer Dan Rather's description - 'fake but accurate'.

CORRECT: Putin summit may prove to be Trump's finest hour.

Finally, someone in the media who isn't dumber than dirt.
