Middlebury College
A year there costs over $70,000.
The Synagogue Shooters
What do they have in common? Not just being anti-Semitic, but they hate Trump. Which is pretty damaging to the narrative.

Political Cartoons
Just a few, at Powerline.
Brie Larson
A rant on her unbearable ingratitude. I haven’t seen the movie, don’t have any immediate plans to.

California Gas Prices
They’re now averaging $4 a gallon. I paid sixty bucks to fill the BMW last weekend to drive back down from the Bay area. Just nuts.
