…is dead even. Of course, that was from last week, before all of the Manafort/Cohen/etc. craziness.

From Reality TV To Reality Politics
Thoughts from Matthew Continetti on Trump’s media skills, and his vulnerability to others who share them.
As I noted on twitter, it’s stupid to think that the hush money was a campaign contribution, because for many Trump supporters, the notion that he was shtooping porn stars and playmates was part of the appeal.
Homer Hickam
This is just nuts. I hope he’ll come back to Twitter.

More PC stupidity: The sins of the father shall be visited on the child.
Deep-Fried Fair Food
A lot of nutrition mythology in this.
No, you won’t get a coronary from eating fried food, or if you do, it’s not because it’s fried, or has saturated fat. Probably the least unhealthy of these is the fried cheesecake, because at least it has additional sat fat in it, along with protein. The others are basically fried sugar and flour. And at least adding the fat mediates to some degree. Also, counting calories is stupid.
Flipping Witnesses
Ken White: Yes, it does corrupt justice, but not (just, or even) because they’re “rats.”
Yes. Trump is wrong about why flipping is bad, but he's not wrong about flipping is bad. Prosecutors have far too much power, with too little accountability. It's a travesty of the justice system. https://t.co/2p0anto9d5

Pence’s Space Speech At JSC
Bob Zimmerman says that the swamp is winning, big league.
Weiner’s Laptop
Most of the emails were never examined.
This is my shocked face. These people should be doing time.
Rigging The Game
Sore-loser Democrats want to change the rules.
None of this was unanticipated by the Founders. They considered popular vote for the presidency and Senate a bug, not a feature.
#ProTip To “Democratic Socialists”
Want power to the people? Then you want capitalism.
That Dress, Twenty Years On
On the anniversary, my fellow defendant Mark Steyn remembers the last time a president was (entirely justifiably) impeached.
And as I typed this, I just realized that I forgot to commemorate the sixth anniversary of that infamous Blog Post which resulted in the never-ending lawsuit against me, CEI, National Review, and Mark (though he is now eager to go to trial having made a lot of money selling a book against the plaintiff). And it’s been over two years since our request for an en banc appeal, with no ruling from the DC Circuit.
