OBAMA JUST CEMENTED IN HIS PLACE as the worst president in American history. And, I fear, the first (only?) President whose term in office lead directly to the first nuclear war in history.

Michael Ramirez has it exactly right.

POWERLINE: Settled science, or selective ignorance? As global warming climate change is a creature of the left, I tend to think 'settled ignorance' is the correct phrase.

USING STUDENTS AS A PASS-THRU TO ADMINISTRATOR POCKETBOOKS: Student aid mostly raises the price of college tuition.

ANOTHER DAY, another fraud. Leftists: they're nothing if not consistent.

SIX OF ONE, a half-dozen of the other.

JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED: Debate over rebel flag widens to include all symbols of Confederacy. Told'ja so.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS: If the left is going to play the role of self-appointed flag police, they shouldn’t be surprised if someone points out this as well.

Swords cut both ways, and the right is beginning to learn how to use them....

I ACTUALLY LIKE Gov. Nikki Haley, but she made a boneheaded move when she decided to remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State Capitol grounds.

I have no particular problem with removing it to a more appropriate historical site, but the move should have been done quietly, and several months after the murders at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church in Charleston.

Here's why: the immediacy of calling for removal gave the racist bigots of the progressive Left license to declare any display of any Confederate symbol, artifact, or historical item as proof of racial animus on the part of the holder. And that is utter nonsense.

Nevertheless, it is rapidly becoming the conventional wisdom, as evidenced by Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's almost immediate decision to remove the Confederate flag from Virginia's personalized licence plates as "unnecessarily divisive and hurtful to too many of our people".

Well, okay. Then shouldn't the following personalized license plates also be banned as 'unnecessarily divisive and hurtful'?

Choose Life (offends pro-choice liberals)
Civil War (offends historical illiterates)
Don't Tread on Me (offends liberals and otherTea Party haters;
  full disclosure: my cars wear them proudly)
In God We Trust (offends atheists)
National Rifle Association (offends gun controllers)
Order of the Eastern Star (offends non-Masons)
Tobacco Heritage (publicize smoking? Heaven forfend!)
Trust Women Respect Choice (offends pro-life conservatives)
Washington Redskins (offends liberals; Native Americans apparently unaffected)

Heinlein's 'crazy years' are a bit late, but off to a roaring start as the progressives 'reality world' becomes more and more untethered to the mother ship.

THE DONALD AND BERNIE SHOW: it's what happens when the political establishment ignores the voters.

RANDOM THOUGHT: The road to bad outcomes is paved with good intentions.

BECAUSE THEY'RE WHITE: Why white people will always be racists.

BECAUSE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS THE SOCIALIST PARTY? "Why is Bernie Sanders, who purports to be an Independent Socialist, running for the Democratic nomination?"

LIBERALS SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHAT THEY WISH FOR. And conservatives should make sure they get it -- good and hard!

THIS IS WHY they're called 'twits'.

LEMONADE SOCIALLISM: a civil rights issue, or should we just stick with tar & feathers? I vote for both -- send 'em to civil court in a coat of tar & feathers....

BLUER THAN BLUE: “If you want to see jaw-dropping inequality and racial segregation, just compare NW to SE D.C.”

D.C. is, of course, Washington D.C.; NW is 'northwest', the gentry liberal part of the city, and SE is - you guessed it - 'southeast', the city's slum area. Washington D.C. has been a Democrat plantation since, well, forever and as such a shining example of the progressives' utopia.

NO MORE SHOPPING HERE: Walmart to ‘melt’ class rings bearing Confederate flag rather than complete orders.

I can get my blue jeans, T-shirts, groceries and ammunition elsewhere....

RECKON WITH THIS: "If t[T]here has [n]ever been a smaller man or bigger jerk than Barack Obama holding the office of president, we need to know now." Fixed.

She wasn't black....

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RUN AMOK (STILL): Three navigation coordination points above Palm Beach International Airport that had been named in honor of Donald J. Trump will be renamed, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday.

The Left is full of sore losers. Nah. Just losers.

AUGMENTED REALITY is dangerous. But that won't stop the knotheads.
