I LOVE CARBON DIOXIDE; you should too.

But only if you want to live well.

EXPECTING WOMEN to display agency and take responsibility is now anti-feminist.

Bring back the pearls and fainting couch....

IT'S BALTIMORE: Obnoxious overstuffed police oversight committee member believes himself exempt from the law.

JACK DUNPHY has more on civilian 'oversight': the untrained criticize police work.

THE CLUE BAT STRIKES:

There is growing reason to believe that Donald Trump understands the thug mind a whole lot better than the people who attended our prestigious Foreign Service academies.

Read the whole thing.

COMMENT OF THE DAY: “Progressivism” is where time stands still.

From this Instapundit post.

AN EXCELLENT IDEA: The Trump Administration wants to take the mystery out of how much hospitals charge.

Yes. I'd sure like to know why did my local hospital charged $70,000 for an outpatient surgery for which Medicare reimbursed only $5,000 and I paid nothing. When the ratio between cost billed and cost paid is 14:1, I'd sure like to know why.

And if I'm going to have to pay for surgery out of my own pocket, I sure as hell want to know how much I'm going to to pay - and to whom - before the surgery, not 3 months later.

SENATE DEMOCRATS: We're horrified the GOP is exploiting our power grab on judicial confirmations.

And we're going to continue exploiting your power grab after we win the Senate again in 2018.

LAST YEAR Seattle cut ties with Wells Fargo over the Dakota Access pipeline, but no one else wants their business. Here's what I'd like to see:

Seattle to Wells Fargo: "Um, I know we told you to pound sand and insinuated you were morally offensive as an institution, but can we hire you again?"

Wells Fargo to Seattle: "Pound sand."

On the other hand, Wells Fargo's reputation isn't spotless either, so perhaps they would make a good pair....

HAWAII VOLCANO stokes fears of west coast eruptions. Maybe we'll get lucky and the Left coast will break off and drift out to sea to join Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

And sink....

THE LEFT can’t handle the truth on illegal immigration. With the Left, it's about feelings, not truth.

IT'S NOT EASY BEING THE ANOINTED - unless you lock yourself firmly inside your liberal bubble where everyone is anointed.

THE WIND ENERGY FIASCO writ large. Until Congress can pass a law that requires the wind to blow at a constant 22 (or whatever) mph 24 hours/day, 7 days a week - and enforce it - wind energy is a terrible idea.

Even assuming wind energy is efficient in niche applications, PowerLine captured my major gripe in this parenthetical statement:

No one develops wind farms in or near wealthy suburbs. Instead, they are located in rural areas and billions are spent on transmission lines to carry electricity to where it is consumed.

Let's put wind turbines where they're really needed - on the roof of every tall building in Manhattan.

IMPRIMIS: The negative impact of the MeToo movement.

DEMOCRAT POLITICO WILLIE BROWN: "Democrats need to look like the adults, not like another pack of screaming kids on the playground."

They can't, and Republicans should be pleased.

NEVER PISS OFF an armed mother. It's fatal.

FIVE EASY WAYS to create racism. "... if [only] liberals could become self-aware enough to see the damage they are doing and the hate they are creating."

But they can't/won't.

"GIVE 'EM HELL" HARRY TRUMAN may have been the proto-Trump. May Donald Trump be as successful.

THE STRANGE CASE OF DICK’S SPORTING GOODS' preening, anti-gun stance.

If you own their stock (DKS), it might be a good time to sell before it tanks....

CALIFORNIA DEMANDS that Christians 'evolve'.

YOU COULD MAKE A STRONG ARGUMENT FOR PATRIARCHY using only the things feminists say about the fragility of women.
