NASA HAS EXTENDED the New Horizons mission and repositioned the spacecraft on a course to 2014 MU69, a recently discovered object in the Kuiper belt at the edge of our solar system.
HILLARY: it's only classified if it's marked. [Even then she still failed.]
GADGETS: A wearable band for motion sickness.
HEH: A field guide to encountering a Social Justice Warrior. Luckily for me, they'e not typically found in the wild. Their normal habitat is the nooks and crannies around college campuses.

SNOWFLAKES BEWARE: Your professors are beginning to punch back. And they can pack quite a wallop.
INSTAPUNDIT: "Apparently, the GOP values donations more than votes." And the party isn't getting one thin dime from me until I see action on behalf of the middle class (e.g., me). Specific candidates, yes; party, no.
RACISTS self-identify.
MICHAEL GRAHAM: What would George Washington do?

Graham seems not to recognize that George Washington and Donald Trump are the same man, separated in time by 240 years.
JUNO: I'm finally here.
POWERLINE'S MID-WEEK IN PICTURES, Clinton edition. My favorite:


There are more.
LIFE IN THE OBAMA/CLINTON ERA: When lying is the “patriotic thing to do.” Even about fireworks.
POWERLINE: Restraining our way to lawlessness and unrestrained government.
FOURTEEN DOWN, 9 TO GO: Connecticut ObamaCare co-op placed under state supervision, to close next year.
