ME, OVER A YEAR AGO: “The Democrats are increasingly the party of the college- and graduate-school-educated white gentry class. The Republicans are increasingly the party of the working class, which includes a lot of . . . blacks and Hispanics.”

Josh Kraushaar today: “Democrats are becoming the party of upscale voters concerned more about issues like gun control and abortion rights. Republicans are quietly building a multiracial coalition of working-class voters, with inflation as an accelerant.”

Related: Democrats are in denial about why they are losing Hispanic voters.

BRAD TEMPLETON: Air Travel Overload Has Made A Nightmare Which Could Be Better If Airlines Did Their Digital Transformation Better.

Well, that’s one thing they could do. But the biggest problem on my last flight was the disgraceful setup and management at immigration in Philly. Signage was inadequate, the flow from kiosks to customs required people to pass back through the crowd of people waiting for kiosks, and everything was just pretty sorry.

Then there’s the pointless ritual of getting your bags, walking past a customs guy, and then rechecking them — and then having to go back through security because you’ve been around the bags. (The latter even if, like us, you’re carry-on only). A complete waste of time.

And here’s an idea: Separate immigration/customs lines for people who have to make a connecting flight. We were jammed behind people (who obviously don’t fly much and didn’t know what to do) and then as we sprinted for our flight we saw them exiting for the “ground transportation” exit.

THIS IS WHY EMPLOYERS ARE WILLING TO PAY WOMEN TO ABORT ELSEWHERE:  It costs $20,000 to give birth in the US, study finds.

Okay, I’m not going to claim Portugal in the sixties had great care, but I think accounting for inflation and different currency, my mom paid the midwife $50 for my birth. But she did have to pay for the midwife’s cab ride, so you know?
Look, the truth is that you’re paying that much for a process most women throughout history managed with no medical help because there’s a lot of illegals giving birth for free. (And being treated for horrendous diseases for free.) And someone has to pay.

MY ANSWERS ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT:  Twelve Serious Questions for the Next Twelve Months.

That last? Yeah. Well, not a civil war as we think of it. But serious violence in spots?
You know, when food is scarce this winter, we’ll see. Americans are not used to hunger.

OKAY GUYS, VERY SERIOUSLY, THIS SMELLS OF CHILD TRAFFICKING FOR SEXUAL PURPOSES:  Mother of Girl In #Shes10 Abortion Case: All the Claims About the Man Who Had Sex With My Daughter Are Lies.

Is this woman even her mother? Is the address a brothel with underage kids run by this woman the other scuzzy illegal who impregnated the kid?
Why aren’t we investigating this? Why aren’t re forcing the old pedophile to close the border and stop creating these evils?
What in heaven’s name is wrong with people who encourage that stuff?
