The Trump restaurant food isn't what we ordered, and all of it is overdone.

Note to Hillary Democrats: Boston Bruins won the popular vote, but still lost Stanley Cup to St. Louis Blues
Boston scored 22 goals to St. Louis' 18, still lost the contest 3 games to 4.
Cathy Young interrupts her visit to the heart of Christianity in Rome to vent her hatred for the entire religion of the empty tomb over some nut in Tennessee who's an ex-detective
See how sneeky they are? Had she said "Who moved the stone?" it would have been a dead giveaway. Better to use language in such a way that you think you can plausibly deny.
The point of going on vacation is to go to some place you love, not to some place you hate. And they say the self-hating Jew is a myth, a calumny of the goyim.

Meanwhile in France the yellow vests appear to be running out of gas
The yellow vests achieved some of their modest objectives already before Christmas and should have packed it in then instead of continuing all the destructive protests into 2019.
Macron was chastened, and he made concessions.
And then the Notre Dame Cathedral fire helped unify what the yellow vests were still trying to divide. Game over, but they were clueless.
Protests continue for a 31st week, but the numbers are way down. Time to hang it up.
Obama did nothing to support Iranian democracy in 2009, and Trump is doing nothing to support democracy in Hong Kong in 2019
Once upon a time we were the leaders of the free world, and of the world which wanted to be free.
No more.
Jonah Goldberg, Charles Cooke and NATIONAL REVIEW have it all wrong: The Founders' modest goal was to keep CHRISTIANS from killing each other
The post-liberals think that Enlightenment-based liberalism is the disease afflicting society because it has no answer for how people should live. They have a point: It is not a religion or moral philosophy. But it wasn’t meant to be. Instead, as National Review’s Charles Cooke rightly put it, classical liberalism was a system designed to keep people of different religions from killing each other.
This is hubris, but not American hubris. America wasn't about people of different religions, broadly conceived. To say otherwise remains the Big Lie of contemporary liberalism.
The Founders sought to create a unique home for mostly English Christian diversity, which meant Protestantism in relation to Catholicism, where its citizens would "assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them".
Classical liberalism in America was as much a creature of Protestant Christianity as it was of the Enlightenment. It wouldn't have existed without the unique history and interaction of the two phenomena. By importing non-Christian religion into the Founders' equation as liberals do today, however, private hostility among Christians has been all but replaced by public hostility toward Christians. Some parties actually want to kill Christians just as much as some Protestants and Catholics once upon a time wanted to kill each other. Some think that's actually their plan.
It's been a recipe for disaster, and we're living it more and more.
It was a difficult enough game of chess before non-Christianity got introduced. The history of Protestant-Catholic relations in America proves that. But now it's 3-D chess, and very few can play that game, or want to.
But the last person who is going to reset this game board, touted by Goldberg, is the atheist George Will, an open borders libertarian who wants any and every immigrant who can get here to come here. Nor, frankly, will the Catholic enthusiasts at First Things Magazine be of much help. They are not inspired by American sensibilities, by definition, and represent Protestantism's fiercest theological opponents and are at the same time Catholic illegal immigrants' most practical defenders. Their loyalty is plain. All the ills of America and the West they blame on both the Enlightenment and Protestantism.
Both of these parties, ostensibly opposed to each other, seem to agree on one thing: reducing the Protestants to minority status.
The hatred for what we were and what we are, coming from our supposed allies on the right, should astonish more Republican voters.
Jews now have Israel, thanks to the West. They should move there. Muslims have Arabia, and much more. We don't need them here. Catholics have Rome.
America is the once and future home of Protestantism. Everyone deserves a home.

Same as when a government which fails to spend enough to end a recession didn't spend enough
All ideologies are non-falsifiable.
MIT's living wage calculator is a joke
For my location and our family size we have been getting by on at least 1/3 less than the calculator says we need, and we have been doing it FOR YEARS on end.
The reality is about 65% of individual wage earners in this country make less than the calculator says our family must make in order to get by, which must mean a lot of people are in the same boat as we are.

Employers advertize for extreme candidates who are ninjas, gurus and rock stars for jobs which don't pay accordingly
When everything's awesome, nothing is.
It's Friday, and five o'clock can't come soon enough.
In other words, few people seem to want to do the duties of a rock star if they’re not going to get paid like one.

Standing ovation for Justin Amash for his impeachment support must have come from Democrats
Shock Poll: Amash Down 16 Points in Republican Primary:
First survey since the libertarian’s impeachment comments shows big lead for pro-Trump challenger

WaPo/Minneapolis Star Tribune can always be counted on to soft-peddle Democrat crimes, including tax fraud, marriage fraud, immigration fraud and incest by not using those words
The joke state which once gave us Gov. Jesse Ventura follows up with the punchline Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Trump avoided military service with bone spurs, Biden with childhood asthma
Joe Biden’s Draft Record Looks a Lot Like Donald Trump’s. Do Democrats Care? :
Just a few months before President Donald Trump received his
now-infamous diagnosis of “bone spurs in the heels,” former high school
football star Biden got the same 1-Y draft deferment for “asthma as a teenager.”
It was one of five deferments Biden received (the same number as
notorious GOP “draft dodger” Dick Cheney) and allowed him to avoid being
drafted at the height of the war. The year 1968 was one of the
bloodiest of the Vietnam conflict with 296,406 Americans drafted into
military service — the second-highest during the war.
Trump is a fool to insist his hands are tied by bad immigration laws when the US Code already gives him the power to act
HAMMER: Trump Has The Unilateral Power To Stop This Migrant Influx. He Just Needs To Act:
If properly enforced, 8 U.S.C. § 1182(f) could single-handedly eliminate this Central American-originated, Mexican cartel-orchestrated, harrowingly physically dangerous assault on our nation's collective sovereignty. Here is the relevant statutory text (emphasis added):
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
