A Year Out, Ignore General Election Polls

I’M LISTENING. . . . Hillary Clinton has an amazing plan to close every public school in America.

SIX TIMES THE MAINSTREAM DC MEDIA RIDICULED CHILDREN OF REPUBLICANS.

BASICALLY, IT’S ON-AGAIN WHEN THEY’RE DEMOCRATS, AND OFF-AGAIN WHEN THEY’RE REPUBLICANS: The On-Again, Off-Again Rule About Criticizing Politicians’ Children.

Members of the press are hypocrites, and their “have you no decency?” routines are uncompelling, issuing as they do from people who conspicuously lack decency themselves.

WHY ’90S-ERA BILL CLINTON WOULD FAIL TO WIN THE 2016 DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION:

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Trump campaign: Hillary bullied women to hide Bill’s ‘sexist secrets.’

SHAMING OF THE SHREW: Hillary Clinton’s Vulgarity Makes Trump Look Like Shakespeare!

WHEN WALMART is a Holy Land. “The initial responses were ones of shock and disbelief. No one was rude, or dismissive. They just wanted to know why. The girls answered that they were part of a family who decided this was the way they wanted to celebrate Christmas. Then a few asked if they were with a church or an organization. No, the girls said, we are just a regular family and this is our gift to you! No strings attached! From us! Then the miracles came.”

Plus: “I was one of those people who made fun of the ‘people of Walmart’. And I’m an idiot.”

Charlie Brown Christmas is #1 and I will hear NO debate.

• New Louisiana governor to undo welfare reform.
• Virginia severs concealed-carry reciprocity with 25 states.
• California minimum-wage measure backed by SEIU could mean rising prices, falling profits and fewer jobs.
• New Yorkers Keep Heading for Exits.

As H.L. Mencken said during the first wave of “Progressivism,” “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”

I wonder if prospect of President Hillary Clinton, a Democrat-controlled Congress, and a few Hillary-appointed Supreme Court nominees starting in 2017 will be enough to focus sufficient minds on the consequences of next November?

AN EVER GREEN HEADLINE: Hillary Clinton’s latest lie about videos and terrorists.

Lake Woebegon President:  SHOCK: HILLARY VOWS TO CLOSE HALF OF AMERICAN SCHOOLS! Clinton: ‘I Wouldn’t Keep Any School Open That Wasn’t Doing A Better Than Average Job.’

FUNNY, THAT’S NOT WHAT PEOPLE TOLD US IN 2009: There’s No Miracle Cure for Health-Care Costs.

Flashback: Obama administration knew millions could not keep their health insurance. “That means the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them. Yet President Obama, who had promised in 2009, ‘if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan,’ was still saying in 2012, ‘If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.’”

SO NOWADAYS, EVEN THE LOTTERY IS RIGGED: Jackpot-fixing investigation expands to more state lotteries. “The inquiry is sending a chill through state governments that depend on public confidence in contests that generate $20 billion annually in lottery revenue.”

It’s expensive to be untrustworthy, as our political class is just beginning to learn.

TSOs undergo regular training and performance reviews where they’re expected to simulate a screening in a private room for supervisors. After two years, the probationary period is over, and employees are generally set. “They’d call it being a ‘made’ man or woman,” Harrington says, referring to the mafia term for acceptance. “It’s really hard to get fired at that point. The only way to lose your job would be to commit a crime.”

The mafia analogy speaks volumes, doesn’t it?
