QUESTION: Why did the Democrats fight so hard to keep Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court?

Answer from the comments: "Amy Coney Barrett and Don Willett. We got this."

BREAKING? Ruth Bader Ginsburg has pneumonia and will retire from the Supreme Court this month.

Color me skeptical, but that said, she should retire, relax, and enjoy her remaining years.

THOMAS SOWELL: Fact-free politics. So much misinformation; so few facts. And so little thought, particularly intelligent thought.

KILLING THEM 'IN UTERO' does keep the infant mortality rate down.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES is ^*fantabulous today. Here's my favorite:

Now go see the rest.

^*Yes, I just made that word up.

YES! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes....

LIKE LEFTY DIET NOSTRUMS GENERALLY, it’s crap: "It doesn’t matter what the problem is, the solution is always for us to give the government more money and power, while we eat less meat."

BURGERGATE: We must impeach Trump!

Surely inflicting innocent college students with "health problems from fat & sodium intake as well as the climate change wrought by meat consumption" must be an impeachable offense. Especially if inflicted by a crony capitalist masquerading as a populist.

INTERSECTIONAL HYPOCRISY: Freddie Mercury and toxic masculinity.

A REMINDER FROM 2012: Happy Dependence Day!

A rest stop on the way to serfdom....

THE REAL MINIMUM WAGE IS ZERO: NYC's new minimum wage law is forcing restaurant owners to cut workers' hours.

That, after all, is the real purpose of the progressives' perennial quest for a higher minimum wage -- to get more Americans on government cheese.

AND YET THEY WERE OFFERED SHELTER: Homeless already returning to the illegal camp site cleared by Seattle authorities last week.

Apparently the offered shelters won't let them drink or do drugs....

INTERSECTIONALITY: the new name for rank hypocrisy.

A NEW WORD TO DESCRIBE OUR GOVERNING CLASS:

On both sides of the political spectrum.

BEST.FAKE.PARTIAL.SHUTDOWN.EVER.

WALL SHUTDOWN drives Hispanics to back Trump. And 24% of the Black population ain't bad either.

GLOBAL WARMING is good.

WOMB TO TOMB: Oregon could become the first state to require in-home surveillance of newborn babies.

Next step: delivery rooms in government-run day care centers. Heinlein's 'crazy years' are in full swing.....

LOOSE ENDS (2ND ITEM): Twit teaches Twitter to tweetless twits.

HEY, NANCY! You can still fly commercial.

- Donald J. Trump

That is post-doc level trolling. Thank you, Mr. President.
