BUTTIGIEG: Life begins when a person registers as a Democrat. And you are guaranteed eternal life in the ballot box....

Yes, it's the Babylon Bee.

AMERICAN GREATNESS: Lies the Left tells about guns, gun control, and gun violence.

In short, whatever the Left says is probably a lie....

A THREE-RING CIRCUS WITH NOTHING BUT CLOWNS: Here's what the Democrats' impeachment inquiry will look like.

PRICKLY CITY explains the mainstream media.

GRANDIOSE, COERCIVE, AND EXPENSIVE:

Watching the Democratic presidential candidates on CNN’s seven-hour town hall on climate change was like attending the shot-put competition at a track meet. It wasn’t even a debate because the candidates agreed on most major points. Any sense of competition came in seeing which would offer the most grandiose plans. One after another, each candidate strained to hurl the biggest, most expensive wad of policy proposals as far as humanly possible.

Now go read it all.

IMPRIMIS: Rediscovering the America in American history.

Read the whole thing and compare it to the Democrat/media (I know, I know; I repeat myself) version. Which one rings truer?

THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS came for my head; I'm still thriving.

EFF U is a more than adequate response. Or, if you desire to be somewhat more polite, "You've mistaken me for someone who cares what you think" will work. It has the additional advantage of being tailored to more blunt terms should you so choose.

THE DIPLOMAD: The lost minds of the West.

IN ONE-ON-ONE with an environmental activist, Biden strongly defends fundraiser with fossil-fuel company founder.

Even as a gaffe machine, Biden is looking better and better as the Democrat alternative....

ANDREW YANG WANTS BUYBACKS ... for your car?

Remember cash for clunkers? If Andrew Yang gets elected, I'll be at north Georgia junkyards buying every clunker I could find.

THE HIGH ROAD NOT TAKEN: The Obamas are in the middle of a trademark dispute.

With the Left, the high road is only for show.

TREAT THE LEFT AS IT DESERVES — as crazy people beneath attention, much less contempt.

I still like contempt....

A FINE MESS IN BRITIAN: Parliament has taken back control from the people. But they cannot avoid the people for too long.

I find it somewhat amusing that the so-called 'governing class' can do a 180 - or 360, or anywhere in between - on a dime when they run full speed into their own hypocrisy.

ONLY IF DEMOCRATS WIN: DNC Chair Tom Perez says 'democracy as we know it' at stake in 2020 election.

REALITY SINKS IN: Marianne Williamson discovers the Left is as mean as a pit of vipers.

“I know this sounds naïve,” she said in an interview ... but “I didn’t think the left was so mean. I didn’t think the left lied like this.”

The politics of the left are animated by those who want to manage, control, and bully. All require a certain level of malice. Decent people, kind folks, don’t want to run other people’s lives. They have no need to call those they disagree with racists, bigots, and white supremacists. Neither do they feel compelled to force society to conform to their schemes.

And "lower than a viper's belly in a wagon wheel rut" to paraphrase a quote from an earlier post.

REALLY GOOD THIS WEEK: PowerLine's Week in Pictures. I have five or six favorites - here are the two best:

and

Now go see the rest.

YOU DON'T SAY: Elizabeth Warren's energy plan is unplugged from reality.

Elizabeth Warren is herself unplugged from reality....

KURT SCHLICHTER: More dumb arguments about gun control.

TRUTH: Ignorance of the past leads to arrogance about the future (heard on Hannity last week).

CONTEMPT FOR VOTERS AS IGNORANT AND BIGOTED unites English-speaking elites on both sides of the Atlantic.

Collective insanity. The world's governing elites (and their enablers) believe themselves to be so smart, so knowledgeable, so ...caring ..., that they must control our every thought and action.

They're wrong. And they're having a collective temper tantrum because we know they're idiots.
