THE KAVANAUGH NOMINATION: Keep your eye on Susan Collins and Jeff Flake.

The latest is that Christine Blasey Ford will testify - if the terms are 'fair'. My bet is that if she isn't granted an 'indefinite delay, she will declare no fair and refuse to testify, in which case the Judiciary committee should go ahead and vote on schedule, and damn the Democrats for obstruction.

OOPS! Who changed our search algorithm?

VICTORY GIRLS: Where is David Hogg when Chicago needs him?

CONFIRMED: New York Times editors really need to start reading the New York Times. Everything they're looking for is right there on the front page.

COMMENT OF THE DAY: "When dad's had enough, it is gonna hurt." Taken from this Don Surber post.

HILLARY CLINTON: Trump will 'wholesale fire people' after midterm election. That's a bad thing?

Well, I guess it could be for the swamp critters who infest his administration.

Random Thought: I wonder if roach spray will work on swamp things?

CALIFORNIA'S GOVERNOR ON TRUMP: "[S]omething's got to happen to this guy".

Yes, it will: re-election in 2020.

SILLY QUESTION: If Democrats can’t run Chicago, can they run anything?

The answer is obviously 'yes' ... into the ground.

JEFF FLAKE, traitor.

Like a number of others for whom I once had considerable respect, Flake has elevated his hatred for our president over every principle of politics and public policy. He would rather subvert his own allegedly conservative principles than allow President Trump to exercise his constitutional powers as president. Words can hardly express how contemptible this is.

Agreed. And read the entire post.

PLEASE, STUDENTS, take that “impractical” humanities course. A reader responds:

Now all you have to do is find a humanities course that actually teaches what you mention instead of some postmodern SJW claptrap. Good luck with that.

I would have linked to the original Washington Post article, but I'm not about to waste $1 - or give them cookie access to my PC - to read their semi-literate opinions.

IT'S THE MAGIC SOCIALIST MONEY TREE, STUPID. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's $40 trillion socialist utopia plan pays for itself and saves money.

WHAT? I thought the Washington Post was in favor of 'free stuff'.

ANOTHER REASON to ignore the hurricane nannies. They can't protect your property. You can.

CEO PAY fails to keep pace with average workers salaries.

BUT, BUT ... I was told by Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) that CEO's make 300 times the average salary of their employees.

Which leads to an interesting little math factoid on my part. Using 300x as the rule, when I joined (then) Lockheed Missiles and Space Company as an average engineering employee in 1983, Dan Tellep, the LMSC CEO should have been making something on the close order of $12M. During the last 35 years, the cost-of-living has roughly increased by a factor of 2-1/2, LMSC has become the Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Marilyn Hewson is the current CEO of Lockheed Martin. If salaries had roughly kept pace with inflation, my 1983 'average engineer' salary would be about $100K (a bit high, but not out of the ballpark from currently available salary data) and therefore 300x salary would be about $30M. Hewsom's actual salary is $20.2M.

Politicians, especially Democrat politicians, would be well served if they had the math skills of an average 8th grader high school graduate (I'm being generous).

SCIENCE BELIEVES IN EVIDENCE; 'science' believes in Harrison Ford.

NOT EVERY PROBLEM needs a government solution.

[J]ust because voters see a problem doesn't mean that they want the federal government to get involved. Voters believe there's almost always a better solution available.

And they're right.

ON HURRICANES AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS: No, the media doesn't exaggerate or make things up.

What a load of bullcrap. Of course they exaggerate. Of course they make things up. If they didn't, they'd lose respect, power, and control when normal Americans discover that they can do quite nicely without media and deep state 'help'.

SAVE THE DEMOCRATS! Vote Republican. Well, I'm certainly voting [Trump] Republican, and not because I want to save Democrats. With their socialist wing in power, I rather hope the current Democrat party is erased from the face of the Earth and replaced with a rational one.

GOV. MOONBEAM at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco: "We’re going to launch our own satellite — our own damn satellite to figure out where the pollution is and how we’re going to end it."

In San Francisco, Gov. Brown, you don't need a satellite to tell you where the pollution is. Just look at the bottom of your shoes.

SARAH HOYT: Those who walked away from sanity.

[T]he hardcore left is composed of equal parts idiots and evil people.

It's depressing to see the fruits of liberalism, but read the whole thing.
