ASKING THE QUESTIONS LITERALLY NO ONE IS ASKING: Is Melania Trump sending coded messages, or are we just talking to ourselves?

WaPo, so not worth your click. Just thought you should know what passes for Style-section soft news these days.

WHY DO THE CLINTONS ATTRACT ALLEGED SEX OFFENDERS, ILLEGAL DONORS? The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross reports on the indictment of a key Mueller witness on pedophilia charges and how he funneled millions to the 2016 Hillary campaign. Investigating the Clintons is like what digging in an old graveyard must be – everywhere you shovel, you turn up something rotten.

A MARINE CORPS VETERAN AND RETIRED FARMER: Meet the man who says Biden has a ‘wet noodle for a backbone.’ “One man even challenged him to a fight he said. Video of the exchange shows Gorman responding: ‘stick it up your a–.'”

YOU STAY CLASSY, JOE: Voter attacked by Biden calls him ‘senile’ and says he should drop out of 2020 race. “You see it on the TV? I know you do. By the way, that’s why I’m not sedentary … The reason I’m running is that I’ve been around a long time, and I know more than most people know, and I can get things done. That’s why I’m running. And if you wanna check out my shape on, let’s do push-ups together, man. Let’s run; let’s do whatever you want to do.”

SAYS THE WOMAN TRYING TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS OF AN ELECTION: ‘Our democracy is what is at stake.’ Pelosi says House will draft impeachment articles against Trump.

THE CORBYNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONTINUES APACE: Bernie Sanders leans into anti-Semitism — By making Linda Sarsour his surrogate, the Democratic candidate has betrayed his heritage and his party.

GOOD: Institute for Justice Takes up Case where Federal Court Ruled Government Owes no Compensation to Innocent Property Owner Whose House was Destroyed By Police.

COLOR ME UNSURPRISED: Law Students Who Handwrite Their Notes Outperform Laptop Users By One Grade (e.g., B + to A-).

In the past couple of years I’ve noticed that more of my students are taking notes by hand, so apparently word has gotten around.

OF COURSE THEY DO. THEY HATE THE US: US Becomes A Net Fossil Fuel Exporter Under Trump As His Dem Opponents Vow To Bludgeon Big Oil.

THE ENTIRE LEFT IS HAVING A WILE E. COYOTE MOMENT. THEY RAN OFF THE CLIFF SURE THEY’D CATCH THE ROADRUNNER, AND NOW THEIR LEGS ARE PUMPING, MID-AIR, AND THEY’RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO AVOID LOOKING DOWN:  Joe Biden…

WE’RE DEFINITELY THE ONES WHO CAN STILL LAUGH:  Meet the Artist Who Animated Joe Biden’s ‘Hairy Legs’.

SHE CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS I SUPPOSE. DOES ANYONE KNOW IN WHAT COUNTRY SHE’S BEING INAUGURATED?  Pink Planned Parenthood Scarves for Warren on Inauguration Day.

INDEED!  Roger Kimball: On the omertà.

I SUPPOSE IT’S BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE. BUT SOMEONE SHOULD TELL THEM ABOUT THESE NEW AND INCREDIBLE STUDIES. IT APPEARS GIVEN THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF INCENTIVE AND DETERRENT HUMANS CAN OCCASIONALLY BECOME HOUSEBROKEN, AND USE THESE THINGS CALLED BATHROOMS. OF COURSE, YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO PUNISH OUT-OF-PLACE ELIMINATION: San Francisco plans to power-wash the poop out of the Tenderloin.

OBAMA WASN’T MUCH DIFFERENT. NOR ARE OUR BATCH OF HAPPY FUN DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS (NOW WITH MORE ADULT FUN CAMPS!):  Lenin and Corbyn.

THEY NEED PENSION REFORM, OF COURSE. THEY NEED A LOT OF SOCIALIST-LITE ELEMENTS OF SOCIETY REFORMED OR DONE AWAY WITH IF THEY ARE TO SURVIVE AS A COUNTRY. BUT AFTER YOUR ELITES AND GOVERNMENT HAVE LIED TO YOU FOR YEARS AND YOU KNOW IT, ARE YOU GOING TO TRUST THEM TO DO WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU, NOT THEIR POCKETBOOKS?  FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU; FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON YOU. BUT IF YOU KEEP DOING IT, AND BEING FOUND OUT? THIS IS HOW THE WORLD BURNS. BECAUSE FOOL ME 345 TIMES, AND YOU’LL END UP DECORATING A LAMP POST:  Macron pension reform: France paralysed by biggest strike in years.

Too bad so sad. Or in French c’est tant pis.

Note to our resident obfuscating left: it’s not just that you run out of other people’s moneys, guys. At some point you run out of credibility. For you guys? that was seven years ago.

AND FREEDOM IS CATCHING:  You Cannot Enslave a Free Man.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S PILOT MIGHT HAVE DIED OF PERFECTLY NATURAL CAUSES, BUT AFTER HIS PLASTIC SURGEON DIED IN A FREAK AIRPLANE ACCIDENT, WE’RE SUSPICIOUS…  Prince Andrew sex allegations: Jeffrey Epstein’s butler Alfredo Rodriguez, who stole tell-all ‘black book’, dies age 60.

Truly for your safety, we encourage you to have bumper stickers printed that say “I have not now nor at any point had any dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.”  Too long for a bumper? How about “I don’t know Jeffrey Epstein.” And while you’re at it add another one “I know nothing about Hillary Clinton.”
Really, they should hand these out free with first-aid kits and other preparedness materials.

THAT’S GOTTA HURT: CNN Hits Three-Year Ratings Low Amid Impeachment Drama. Notwithstanding the “potato-like” Brian Stelter.

YES: “Anyway, what I like about that Instapundit commenter quote — ‘It’s always a constitutional crisis when liberals don’t get what they want’ — is that it seems to me that the real impeachable offense has always been that Donald Trump got himself elected.”
