When Character Is Revealed
With signature modesty, the ‘protestors’ assert some imagined territorial and proprietary claim to a shared space that these self-indulgent shit stains are merely passing through, while deliberately frustrating anyone else’s attempt to use the space for its intended purpose. They disregard normal boundaries and behave obnoxiously, selfishly, because it makes them feel important, and powerful.

Gov. Gina Raimondo’s Brain is as Big as Her State
Flooding an already flooded market? Check.
Lessening the value of degrees that are already in circulation? Check.
Not discerning between good degrees like STEM vs. worthless degrees like the liberal arts? Check.
Being another leftist who is utterly clueless about basic economics? Check.
I present to you Governor Gina Raimondo.
This is….Weird.
Or incredible, or unprecedented, or something.

We’ve seen citizens from all walks grilling the PM in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces.

TPP is dead.
The US is out of the TPP. All the lefties who hated it should be cheering President Trump.
I’m thinking that’s false optimism.
Global Citizen Trudeau
National security officials were particularly concerned about O-Net, according to a source familiar with the 2015 assessment, because they considered the Hong Kong firm effectively controlled by the Chinese state. A corporate presentation prepared by O-Net in 2015 indicates more than 25 per cent of its shares are owned by a company that is a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned China Electronics Corporation.

Apropos of nothing in particular.
Find the Thug

Yesterday, Sheila Gunn Reid was peaceable reporting on the Women’s March in Edmonton.
She was violently attacked by a thug who took exception to the fact that she was recording.
Ezra has offered a $1000 reward for the identification of the criminal.
Help us keep violent criminals off our streets.
Some Sober Thoughts for Yesterday’s Protesters
Just not ready.
It isn’t like Conservatives didn’t try and warn Canadians.
Maybe we’re just seeing what happens when a politician who has never suffered for letting his freak fly tries to govern in like manner. (That doesn’t explain why he’s not getting better advice.) But to me it confirms a vibe I’ve always gotten from Trudeau and the people in his orbit: they almost religiously believe the various off-the-shelf Liberal Canadian pieties they evince, even if they don’t espouse them out loud.
Truth Hurts.
Via Instapundit, I’m a little shocked that the author doesn’t realize that everyone in politics; pundits, media, staffers, politicians and especially partisans are all cynics and hypocrites.
So as I watch my friends and thousands of other Americans gather together to protest the inauguration, I find myself a little speechless. It cannot be that all of these people only see evil when it wears the other team’s uniform. It cannot be that they are more upset by offensive speech than by a man claiming the right to kill any human being on earth at his whim. These things simply cannot be. And yet it sure looks like they are.
The Party of ‘No’
Democrats try to block appointment of Mike Pompeo as CIA head.
Playoff day.
Packers at Falcons
and
Steelers at Patriots.
I think the home teams take it to make it a Falcons/Patriots Superbowl. Course that might just be because while I’m a Seahawks fan, everyone I know cheers for either Green Bay or Pittsburg (or both).
