Actress Quietly Blended ‘F*ck Paul Ryan’ Pin Into Pattern Of Her Golden Globes Dress.
The last line of Lindsey Ellefson’s writeup claims that Lola Kirke “was just one of the bold political statements made that evening, but it was one of the most unique.” But how is hiding a tiny pin on a busy dress worn at an event of likeminded individuals in any way “bold?”
JOHN HINDERAKER: Trump Bestrides The Left’s World Like A Colossus. “As we and others have documented countless times, the liberal world has gone bonkers over Donald Trump. It is an odd thing: Trump isn’t even a conservative, or wasn’t until recently. Yet liberals have gone nuts over his ascendancy in a way that is unprecedented. They make fools of themselves hour by hour, and, weirdly, don’t seem to notice. The current issue of Vanity Fair, a celebrity-oriented Democratic Party magazine, is a case in point. . . . Are these people nuts? For whatever reason, Donald Trump has driven them around the bend. As regular readers know, I was anything but a Trump supporter through the primary season. But observing how bizarrely liberals react to him makes me think that his fans were on to something from the beginning.”
Yes, they’re nuts. And yes, their craziness is cementing a lot of Trump support.
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING: Senate opens Obamacare repeal drive with overnight marathon.
The House is expected take a swift vote on the resolution, possibly as early as Friday, which will trigger congressional committees to begin crafting a second bill that would roll back major parts of Obamacare. Though it will be weeks before Congress votes on that bill, Thursday still marked a victory for the Republican Party as it moves toward overhauling the country’s healthcare system.
I recall headline after headline over the last week or so, each claiming that Republican Senators were having second thoughts, due to the difficulty of repealing such a complicated law with so many popular provisions.
Those stories felt more like the MSM trying to create news than report it, and sure enough that feeling has been proven correct.
THIS IS WHAT A “COMMON-SENSE IMMIGRATION POLICY” LOOKS LIKE: Left-wing Dutch vegan who moved to Switzerland is denied a Swiss passport because she is too annoying. “The resident’s committee argued that if she does not accept Swiss traditions and the Swiss way of life, she should not be able to become an official national.”
More cowbell.

SO THIS ISN’T EXACTLY A CLIMBDOWN, but I’m rethinking my position that a good argument for having Trump as President is that if he gets out of line, the press and the Deep State will go after him and bring him under control.
There are two reasons for that. First, the press and the Deep State are already going after him, before he’s even had a chance to get out of line. And second, I mean, holy crap, could they be any sorrier at doing so? I mean, “Peegate?” Really? What the hell?
This is good news for Trump, sort of, but overall it’s really bad news, since it means that both journalism and the intelligence community are both more politicized, and less competent, than even I thought. Sweet Jesus, these people are terrible.

21ST CENTURY HEADLINES: St. Jude Medical releases security patches for vulnerable cardiac devices. “The transmitters record and receive RF traffic from the embedded medical devices before sending this information to physicians through the Merlin.net Patient Care Network. The US agency has investigated a set of security flaws found within this setup by MedSec and has come to the conclusion that the bugs could allow cyberattackers to remotely access implanted cardiac devices by compromising the transmitter.”

WHY ARE LEFTY CAMPUSES SUCH CESSPITS OF INTOLERANCE AND HATE? Intolerance at Berkeley as Faculty Demand Gay Immigrant Stay Off Campus.
ANALYSIS: TRUE. BuzzFeed undermines all journalists with Trump ‘dossier.’ “In crossing one of the few lines left for mainstream news outlets, a demand for some level of verification, BuzzFeed could not have given Trump better ammunition with which to vilify the press as dishonest, biased and all the other claims he makes in trying to inoculate himself against valid criticism.” Yeah, well, being dishonest, biased, etc. will do that. I mean, after Rathergate and Journolist, none of this is a surprise, but they just get lamer and more obvious with each iteration.
WHEN YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG: Koran Verse Denying Jesus Was Son of God Sung in Scottish Cathedral. “The cathedral praised the reading in a Facebook post, calling it a ‘wonderful event.’ However, retired Anglican bishop Michael Nazir-Ali strongly condemned it, saying it was especially inappropriate for the feast of the Epiphany, which celebrates the revelation of Christ as the Son of God.”

AN ONLINE SHOP RUN BY ONE OF MY BROTHER’S FRIENDS: Fancy Rascal.
If you’re male and 18 and waiting anxiously for your acceptance at a prestigious coastal liberal arts college or university, the authors of The Campus Rape Frenzy would undoubtedly have two words of advice: Don’t go. That is, if you plan on any sexual M.O. other than abstinence.
If you do go and then have sex, your partner (let’s say ze is a she) can, under current rules, accuse you of sexual assault or rape if you kiss her or reach for her hand without her permission, can say that she was afraid of you when she did give permission and so was coerced, can claim that after a single drink she was under the influence of alcohol and therefore unable to give consent (you can be way drunker, but that doesn’t matter), and can make these claims months after the fact without you being aware that she has made them.
Think that’s scary? What happens next is even worse. Following guidelines from the Obama administration Office of Civil Rights, you will likely be denied representation by a lawyer, forbidden from presenting exonerating evidence or asking questions of your accuser (who will invariably be referred to as the “victim” or the “survivor”), be subject to the decision of a college administrator who is under pressure to show that her (as it almost always is) institution is eagerly working with the federal government’s esoteric understanding of Title IX, and found guilty if there is a 50.01 percent chance you failed to get consent, or lost it at some point unbeknownst to you. The press will rake you over the coals and your future, now that you’re expelled and branded a sexual malefactor, will be compromised.
Yep. Everybody’s safer at Reynolds Online University.
