TOOK MY DISTILLED SPIRITS LAW CLASS TO TOUR A REAL DISTILLERY AT KNOXVILLE’S OWN POSTMODERN SPIRITS. Head Distiller Ron was a gracious and informative host, and the students learned a lot about distilling, and about the regulatory aspects of starting up a distillery as seen by the starters-up.

TOP SANDERS SURROGATE APPEARS TO PARROT 9/11 CONSPIRACY THEORY:
Phillip Agnew, a self-described “militant” who has made multiple appearances on the campaign trail for Sanders since joining the campaign in July, tweeted on the eve of the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that America remembers the day “she turned on herself, dismantled her constitution, and killed her own citizens in the name of money.”

SUPER GAFFE-O-MATIC ’76: Biden Prods Man in Tense Confrontation at Campaign Event: ‘Go Vote For Someone Else.’
Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden repeatedly prodded a man in the chest before telling him to “go vote for someone else,” during a campaign event in Iowa this week, after the man asked about Biden’s stance on gas pipelines.
“I’m gonna support you if you win the nomination because we’ve got to get rid of Trump, but what are we going to do about climate change?” asked the man. “Now, you say you’re against pipelines, but then you want to replace these gas lines, and that’s not gonna work. We’ve got to stop building and replacing pipelines.”
Biden responded by moving in close to the man and prodding his chest, before telling him to “go vote for someone else.”
As the Federalist’s Jesse Kelly tweets, “Biden is always snapping at reporters, telling voters how fat they are, and putting his hands on people because he’s in over his head. He ain’t chilling as Vice President while Hunter gets shish-kabobed by strippers anymore. This is the big leagues.”

CHRIS MATTHEWS COMPARES REPUBLICANS TO NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS:
As alluded to above, this GOP-North Korea analogy has been something Matthews has resorted to before. After tax reform passed in December 2017, Matthews compared the White House celebration to a “a North Korean parade.” A month later in January 2018, he insisted Republicans were North Korean soldiers under the command of “racist” President Trump and “sniveling” Ben Carson. Matthews would follow up with at least two more examples in June 2018 and May 2019.
Nahh — if Republicans were like North Koreans, CNN would have infinitely more respect for them.
THEY MUST READ INSTAPUNDIT OR SOMETHING: White House Tells Airlines It May Suspend All China-US Flights Amid Coronavirus Outbreak. But it sounds like we’re halfway there:
The Trump administration is looking at a variety of measures to contain the fast-spreading virus that has infected roughly 4,700 people across the globe, U.S. health officials told reporters on a conference call Tuesday. White House officials called executives at major U.S. carriers on Tuesday, telling them that a temporary ban on China flights is on the table, according to people familiar with those conversations.
United Airlines, which has the most service of the U.S. airlines to Hong Kong and mainland China with about a dozen daily flights, on Tuesday announced it would cancel dozens of flights next month to Hong Kong and mainland China as the outbreak worsens. The Chicago-based airline said it has experienced a significant decline in demand for travel to China. United and its rivals Delta and American are waiving cancellation and change fees for travelers booked to China.
