Progressives Worried Warren-Sanders ‘Nonaggression Pact’ Could Become A ‘Suicide Pact’ | The Daily Caller:

Progressives appear to be concerned that a hot-mic spat between two 2020 Democratic presidential candidates could destroy both of them.

"British reader left this excellent comment:
Thank you for continuing to report on the developments within our country.
I thought I’d write and communicate to your American readers just why MM, and now Harry, are disliked. 
I’m not going to include everything, just an overview,
...After Harry released a statement telling the media to leave his girlfriend alone and calling them racist – yes, that quick – she then went on the cover of Vanity Fair to talk about their relationship. This drew my attention and actually set the pattern which was to follow.
She didn’t want privacy, she wanted attention that she could control..."

OMB Releases Memo on Legal Reasons to Withhold Ukraine Aid | Breitbart

OMB Releases Memo on Legal Reasons to Withhold Ukraine Aid | Breitbart:

The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sent a memorandum Wednesday to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) explaining the legal foundations and reasons for holding up U.S. security assistance to Ukraine over the summer.
The Washington Post reported the existence of the memorandum and published it on Thursday morning; it was largely overlooked in in favor of the day’s lengthy impeachment debate in the House Judiciary Committee. Yet the memo fills in some of the factual gaps in the account of what happened.

The Trans Agenda Could Make You to Choose Your Pronouns - Minding The Campus

The Trans Agenda Could Make You to Choose Your Pronouns - Minding The Campus
"...At my own university, one can choose to have their personal pronouns displayed in the public directory: choices include “they/them” and “ze/hir.” 
For students, these selected pronouns also appear on class rosters. 
...In short, in higher education, pronouns are everywhere.

Pronouns are, of course, just one part of the larger transgender movement...

But within this larger movement, pronouns have come to represent more than just lexical items. Rather, they’ve transformed into ideological shorthand that signals to one’s audience support for transgender rights, that one is on the “right” side of history. 
Their ubiquity renders them a powerful cudgel to beat down any dissenters. 
If stating one’s pronouns has become unquestioned dogma, then it follows the omission of these statements signals something too: perhaps a touch of heterodoxy, a public confession that one may not toe the acceptable party line..."

Finally. The Feds — including ICE — appear to be investigating Ilhan Omar. - TheBlaze:

On Oct. 30, I reported that the Department of Justice had assigned an FBI Special Agent in Charge, or SAC, to review Rep. Ilhan Omar's apparent, astonishing spree of felonies from 2009 to 2017.
Minnesota state Rep. Steve Drazkowski (R) had previously filed a complaint on the matter with the Minnesota District of the Department of Justice. That office — headed by U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald, a 2018 Donald Trump appointee — directed the FBI to review the complaint. An FBI SAC formally met with Rep. Drazkowski, and others, in mid-October to receive a prepared file of evidence and related information.
I can confirm that the FBI has taken additional steps since this October meeting.

"In my 40+ years I never saw such a continual feeding frenzy by the press as this one on the President of the United States of America.

It is sick.

Too many reporters and columnists are obsessed with their hatred of him. 

Their rage, their anger, and their fury have clouded their thinking. 
They are unhinged." - Don Surber

Somber Impeachment Ceremony Concludes With The Impeachment Dancers | The Babylon Bee
"WASHINGTON, D.C.—It was a somber day for the U.S., as House Democrats formalized the impeachment of President Donald Trump. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi took seven solemn hours to sign the articles of impeachment with 582 custom pens on silver trays before she sent them over to the Senate. 
As the articles were handed over, the Impeachment Dancers entered the room, marking the dark day with a well-choreographed dance number accented by a tasteful amount of pyrotechnics.

...After the ceremony and the dance number concluded, Democratic leaders all had a moment of silence to reflect on the gravity of their undertaking, the only sound now being the making of impeachment balloons by the Impeachment Clowns there to entertain the children..."

GOP lawmaker who lost both legs in Afghanistan throws down challenge to Dems over Soleimani's killing — and leaves them in silence - TheBlaze

GOP lawmaker who lost both legs in Afghanistan throws down challenge to Dems over Soleimani's killing — and leaves them in silence - TheBlaze:

Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) — who lost both legs and one finger after stepping on an IED during a mission in Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom — made a powerful statement Tuesday to explain why Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani's killing was justified.
During a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, Mast demonstrated why Democratic criticism of Soleimani's killing, which occurred from a U.S. airstrike on Jan. 3, is unfounded — resulting in nearly two minutes of dead silence.

Five little noted doozies from last night's Democratic debate - American Thinker

Five little noted doozies from last night's Democratic debate - American Thinker
"...Bernie Sanders's concern-trolling about all those administrative costs connected to medical care as it is and how he's supposedly against them.

Sen. Sanders, your campaign proposals would double federal spending over the next decade, an unprecedented level of spending not seen since World War II. How would you keep your plans from bankrupting the country?

SANDERS: No, our plan wouldn't bankrupt the country. And, in fact, it would much improve the well-being of working-class families and the middle class.

Let us be clear what Medicare for all does. It ends all premiums. It ends all copayments. It ends the absurdity of deductibles. It ends out-of-pocket expenses. It takes on the pharmaceutical industry, which in some cases charges us 10 times more for the same prescription drugs sold abroad as sold here. 

What we will do through a Medicare for all single-payer program is substantially lower the cost of health care for employers and workers, because we end the $100 billion a year that the health care industry makes and the $500 billion a year we spend in administrative — the administrative nightmare of dealing with thousands of separate insurance plans.

Is this a joke? 
Since when does a Soviet-style health care plan such as Bernie proposes not include masses and masses of red tape?..."

On taxpayers' dime, foreigners get free college in US

On taxpayers' dime, foreigners get free college in US

• A U.S. government program spends more than $15 million per year in order to help foreign students attend community college in the U.S.
• According to the program's website, students will "return home with new skills and expertise to help them contribute to the economic growth and development of their country."

"As thousands of American college students struggle to afford the rising cost of college, the U.S. State Department is helping to fund community college for more than 300 foreign students, according to a recent report released by Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
The program, called the Community College Initiative Program (CCI), received $15,825,000 in the 2019 fiscal year to pay for community college costs for foreign students from up to as many as 12 different countries..."

Europe's precarious position is of its own making. It's not too late to reverse - Victor Davis Hanson
"Despite its cool Green parties and ambitious wind and solar agendas, Europe remains by far the world's largest importer of oil and natural gas.
Oil output in the North Sea and off the coast of Norway is declining, and the European Union is quietly looking for fossil fuel energy anywhere it can find it.
Europe itself is naturally rich in fossil fuels.
It likely has more reserves of shale gas than the United States, currently the world's largest producer of both oil and natural gas.
Yet in most European countries, horizontal drilling and fracking to extract gas and oil are either illegal or face so many court challenges and popular protests that they are neither culturally nor economically feasible.
The result is that Europe is almost entirely dependent on Russian, Middle Eastern and African sources of energy..."
