MY GOD, THEY’VE TAKEN AWAY HER CHILDHOOD: Greta Thunberg misses out on Nobel Peace Prize as the award is given to Ethiopia’s prime minister Abiy Ahmed. What a gyp. All he did was actually make peace.

UPDATE:

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Sen. Cory Gardner Sees A ‘Very Political Process’ In The House’s Impeachment Inquiry.

WINNING: The Economic News From the Census Bureau Is Very Good.

Between 2017 and 2018:

·Real median family income up 1.2%

·Real median earnings up 3.4%

·Full-time, year-round workers up 2.3 million

NEW YORK SUN: The Biden Boomerang. “Boomerang. That’s the word for news that Joe Biden is the 2020 Democratic candidate with whom the CIA’s so-called whistleblower had a ‘professional’ tie. The ex-vice president had been holding himself — and his son — out as the wronged parties in this whole contretemps. Now it’s starting to look as if he has been less than forthcoming with the American voters.”

I think the whole whistleblower thing was meant to be a distraction from Biden’s Ukraine problem, but instead it’s been a spotlight. These guys just aren’t very bright, and things got out of hand.
