SORRY, CLASS WARRIORS: unions aren't coming back. Except for public-sector (government) unions which, as Jacoby correctly notes, should be banned outright.

OH, REALLY? Accused NSA leaker Reality Winners' motive a mystery (to ABC, NBC, and CBS).

It must be a mystery if it doesn't fit the preferred liberal narrative.

HAVE YOU HEARD? Fast and furious report slams Eric Holder's Department of Justice for deception in the gun-running scandal.

Of course you haven't if you get all your news from the fake mainstream media.

THE WORLD IS SICK OF POLITICIANS DOWNPLAYING TERRORISM: Our political leaders are basically telling us that this kind of terrorism, random and deadly, is the price we have to pay for their policies of multiculturalism and political correctness.

No. No it isn't. And if the politicians don't get it, they should get out.

DEMOCRATS doubling down on elitist snobbery.

The real problem for elites is the condescension on the social agenda. Trump voters dislike the snobbery.... [I]t is having American values mocked, scorned, and ridiculed on a daily basis that finally had enough Americans saying enough.

Spot on.

GUN 'CONTROL'? The Washington Post's inventive flip-flop on noise suppressors.

OF COURSE. Are colleges committing consumer fraud?

Not even Starbucks needs that many ill-educated baristas.

KURT SCHLICTER: The joy of surfing on a sea of liberal tears.

BALL PARK SHOOTER was radicalized by the Left. Just as our 'know wolf' domestic terrorists are radicalized by a virulent strain of Islam.

But what do we hear from the progressive Left? Crickets, just crickets....

CALIFORNIA WANTS to take single-payer for a test drive. I say "Let 'em." But on their own nickel; no federal largesse....

THE VICTIMS have their knives out - for each other.

MY SECOND QUARTERLY TAX PAYMENT is due today.

THE DEMOCRATS after Attorney General Jeff Sessions went before Congress.

Ignoring the Iron Law of Holes isn't wise....

I LIKE THIS IDEA: Trump should declare a university holiday.

FEDERAL REGULATION: Here's how it affects your pocketbook.

[A] new report estimated that if the costs of federal regulation flowed down to U.S. households, the average American family would pay $14,809 annually in a hidden regulatory tax. That's $14,809 in addition to income taxes, state taxes, and Social Security. $14,809 in addition to sales taxes, property taxes, and even estate taxes — where the government taxes you for being dead.

Actuallly you do pay that bill; it's embedded in the cost of products and services you buy daily.

IS IT FRIDAY YET?

REMEMBER THAT DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD THINGY? Firms pressed to defend ads on left-leaning Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, other MSNBC/CNN shows.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

MIKA BRZEZINSKI is now offering free mental health diagnoses on MSNBC.

And it's absolutely worth every penny....

RALLIES AGAINST ISLAMIC LAW draw counter-protests across United States.

We should offer the counterprotestors free (one-way) tickets to Saudi Arabia or any majority-Muslim country in the world. Unfortunately just like the Hollyweirds who declared they will flee the U.S. if Trump was elected, there will be no takers.
