WHY DEMOCRATS will oust Gov. Northam. I don't think he has the balls to do so, but I sure wish he'd give them the "I'm staying ... because shut up" argument they use so well.

I didn't vote for the man, but he won and what happened 34 years ago is irrelevant. (And staying may make it more difficult for the Democrats to use the race card in the future.)

DEREK HUNTER: my State of the Union address.

President Trump should take his cue from Hunter.

The game wasn't bad, either, though I'd have preferred the Saints versus the Chiefs.

MICHELLE'S MIRROR: Alinsky works for us now.

THE SAME PEOPLE WHO TOOK THE NEWS OUT: Who put the 'me' in media?

Looking at you, Jim.

Trump: "You're going to get tired of winning."

EVERYONE despises John Kasich.

I wonder why....

MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE [PARTIAL] GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN? Smashing estimates, America created 304,000 jobs in January.

We should test this hypothesis by having a complete government shutdown in February....

CNN LIES

and they know they'll get away with it.

JEB!  LOST: Florida scraps Common Core.

YOU'RE ASSUMING THEY HAD SOMETHING TO LOSE: The Democrats Lose Their Minds.

Never mind.

THAT'S ONE WAY TO GET UNIVERSAL MEDICAL 'CARE': lower the bar until everyone is, at a minimum, 'pre-ill'.

If you can find it on your used bookstore bookshelf, read Caduceus Wild by Ward Moore to see the future.

FEBRUARY 3, 2015: Has anything changed?

One of our cats has passed (Diamond). The couch is no longer. Other than that, nothing....

FRANKLY I DON'T THINK HE DESERVES THEM, but the hits keep coming.

Reminder: stupidity isn't illegal. Maybe it should be, but it isn't.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Abortion is why Democrats can't have a border wall. Where else will they get new voters?

ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Even her own party is planning to run against her. And she's only been in office for a month....

From "It" girl to "Out" girl in only a month ... fast, she is.

'FULL OF SCHIFF': Top House Democrat has his Trump-Russia lead blow up in his face. Nothing is more enjoyable than watching the Schiff hit the fan....

CORY BOOKER: Spartacus declaration “one of my proudest moments”. Because he knew he couldn't get in trouble; the 'classified' information he was about to divulge had already been cleared for public release - and he knew it.

T-Bone would be proud.

UPDATE: PowerLine takes note.

I'VE FORGOTTEN: When did affirmative action become affirmative discrimination?
