EXCLUSIVE: Schiff memo leaks to PowerLine.

Heh.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Inside every dark cloud is a Democrat.

DON'T DRINK COFFEE WITH A STRAW IN CALIFORNIA. Or you might end up in jail with cancer.

CRUMBS? JUST CRUMBS? House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: Bonuses of $1,000 are "crumbs".

Uh, huh. Let's look at the data. According to the Social Security Administration the average wage at the beginning of the Obama administration in 2009 was $39,653 (~$19.06/hr). At the end of the Obama administration in 2016 it was $46,120 (~$22.17/hr), an annual growth rate of 2.2%. That Trump tax cut induced bonus may be a 'crumb' to Miz Pelosi, but it exceeds the average annual wage growth during the entire Obama administration (2.4% vice 2.2%).

Somehow I don't think a bonus that probably exceeds last year raise would be considered a 'crumb' by most working Americans.

Miz Pelosi should try working some time - she might come to appreciate the value of hard-earned money.

CALIFORNIA ON FEDERAL TAX CUT: It's really our money and we're kindly letting you have half.

America really needs a major earthquake to send the rogue state of West California out to sea....

NOT JUST LINDSEY GRAHAM: out of the mainstream on immigration.

It's the entire ruling bureaucracy that's out of the mainstream. Their contempt for those they think they represent is increasingly obvious, and now, with Donald Trump's election, our growing contempt for them is turning toward action in the 2018 mid-terms.

NEWTON MINOW WAS RIGHT: television has gone from a 'vast wasteland' in the 1960's to an even more vast wasteland in 2018.

TRUMP-VOTING DEMOCRATS are delighted in Ohio. Off-air, I'll bet CNN's newsers really got their knickers in a twist.

IN THE UNITED STATES: Christianity isn't shrinking, it's growing stronger. Living where I do, I find the assertion believable.

TREVOR NOAH: continuing proof that the Left is inherently racist.

DAN RATHER: tanned, rested, and ready to report Leftist 'reality'.

LIBERALS can't help going Nazi. Greg Poops. What an appropriate name....

What? It's Proops? Oh, sorry....

CNN'S JIM ACOSTA: putting the 'me' in media.

HARSH WORDS: "Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants."

But true ones.

IT SEEMS THE DNC CHAIR really hates his job. It would be more accurate to leave off the last two words.

THANK GOD THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IS OVER: Now the pandas will survive and the killer asteroids will return to outer space.

And the progressives will stop clutching their pearls....

AMID THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, here are the lawmakers who chose not to receive a salary. A total of 41 out of 535 (a measly 7%); 30 Republicans and 11 Democrats.

NOVEMBER 2018: Reality check ahead.

SOME CHURCH SIGNS FROM AROUND THE TOWN:

A vitamin for Christians is B-1.

Stop by and say hello. God doesn't mind pop-ins.

May your troubles last as long as your [New Years] resolutions.

Unlike the urban cityfolk, those of us in rural America have pretty good senses of humor.

IT LOOKS LIKE the people who say political correctness kills have a point.
