THE AMERICAN THINKER: The mystery of 'Q'.
I have no idea whether it's meaningful or utter bullarky, but it is amusing.

CDC STUDY: The laziest states in the U.S.
Notice the stunning stupidity of the question: "[O]ther than your regular job, did you participate in any physical activities or exercises such as running, calisthenics, golf, gardening, or walking for exercise?" Did they stop to think to ask about the physical activity involved in your regular job? Of course not, because their regular jobs involve almost no physical activity.
This is exactly why I ignore almost all health-related studies/advice.

THANKS TO DEMOCRATS? Unfortunately not.
I'd like to blame former President Obama and/or the Democrats, but ...
According the U.S. Debt Clock the dramatic increase in the national debt started with Obama, but has consistently increased at $1.2T/year ever since.
And it's impossible to blame the Democrats in Congress, either. During Obama's tenure, the 111th Congress was Democrat controlled; the 112th and 113th Congresses were divided; and the 114th Republican controlled. During Trump's tenure (so far) the 115th Congress was Republican controlled; the 116th was divided; and the 117th is up for grabs.
Short of starting over, I'm not convinced there is a solution....

SANITY AT LAST: Court refuses to kowtow to personal pronouns.
Good. As I've noted before, the personal pronouns I use are he/him, she/her, and it/its.

THE SCHIFF EFFECT: a sieve holds water better than he holds secrets. Is it any wonder that President Trump doesn't share secrets with Congress?
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Serious atheist thinkers are re-examining strict naturalism.

ONE LAST IRONY from Virginia's gun rights protest rally:
Could it be that there is still a Tea Party?
Watching Virginia create a fenced in 'freedom zone', entrance guarded by armed men and metal detectors, not even considering the irony that no one could possibly be considered 'free' while only being allowed to protest from inside a cage and after being searched by state agents.Nothing happened inside or outside the 'freedom' fence. And the protestors picked up their own trash.
Could it be that there is still a Tea Party?
BREAKING NEWS: The Democrats' opening statement in tomorrow's impeachment trial.
To paraphrase former CBS newsreader Dan Rather, "Fake but accurate."
