If Beto O'Rourke were black, we could blame opposition to his popularity on racism. If he were female, we could blame it on misogyny. As it is, the mainstream Democrats…

Where were you when you heard? I got a phone call from my son at 9:11pm He asked if Mom was okay. "Yeah, she is right here, why?" "She mentioned that she was going to the mall and I couldn't get her, so I was nervous with the shooter." "What shooter?" What shooter, indeed. There was apparently a fight and a loud bang. That's all it took. After that, one billion tweets and texts were launched the "news" that there was a shooter in the mall took off and it spread like Orson Welles' "news" of the Martian invasion. With so many guns in circulation, we have passed through the point where we think there might be a mass shooting in Delaware to thinking that there must be a mass shooting in Delaware. So why not now? Why not at the mall? Why not on Christmas? Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Conservative blow-hard, Rush Limbaugh is now calling the shots in the White House. (No doubt in consultation with Putin.)

President Trump appears far more concerned with Rush Limbaugh's opinion of the government shutdown than that of congressional Republicans. The conservative commentator said on his radio show Thursday that Trump got in contact with him to promise he will not pass any spending bill that doesn't have border wall funding in it. "The president got word to me 20 minutes ago that if it comes back to him without money, if whatever happens in the House and Senate comes back to him with no allocation of $5 billion for the wall, then he's going to veto it," Limbaugh said, per Chris Stigall and Breitbart's Charlie Spiering.

Sometimes I think progressivism and depression must be linked characteristics, carried on the same gene or something. How else to explain those poll results to your right, which show that…

I don't know enough about our situation in Syria to say whether pulling out is "good" for the US or "bad" for us in the long run. I do know that Putin is a fan of Trump's move, so there is that From the New York Times:

Mr. Trump said on Wednesday that he was ordering the withdrawal because the United States military had achieved its goal of defeating the Islamic State militant group in Syria. But the move caught many by surprise, including some of his military and diplomatic advisers. It has also drawn criticism, even among Republicans, for abandoning Kurdish allies in the fight against the Islamic State and for aiding the geopolitical ambitions of Iran and Russia in the Middle East. Speaking at his annual news conference, which typically runs for several hours, Mr. Putin said he broadly agreed that the Islamic State had been defeated in Syria. “Donald’s right, and I agree with him,” Mr. Putin said.

As President Donald Trump threatened to allow a government shutdown if Congress did not provide funding for his proposed wall along the Mexican border, a Republican congressman from Ohio offered…

That's a headline I thought I'd never read...and yet there it is.
