Rest in peace, Zsa Zsa Gabor. She was 99.

I stopped by Youtube to watch some of the election night coverage. Gee that's fun - sets a skyful of neurons firing!

I mostly watched uploads by "Weatherlover1192" of ABC news, which are arranged along the bottom of this page:

I'm an organized guy, so I'm setting up a folder to store a collection election photos and vids. That way I can gloat at a moment's notice. This is gonna be a really good year.

The best sentence in that piece:

“The NYPD should have never been involved in the first place even if the incident did happen,”

LOL! Bill C. says Trump knows how to get angry white men to vote for him. I think Hillary knows as well.

Just tell them that you:

1. are going to put them out of work,

2. make their daughters in high school share locker rooms with guys,

3. that you are going to bring in people that hate our society w/o improving the failed vetting system (San Bernadino), and

4. that you feel more sympathy for illegal immigrants than you do for the veterans (VA) or victims of criminals protected by sanctuary cities.

Works every time.

Wow.

The dean who issued my punishment never talked to me. I learned about my fate in a letter dropped on me by two assistants just before I was to teach a class.

My punishment in this case-without-victims bans me from receiving international travel funds and strips me of a prestigious award worth thousands of dollars.

When I inquired about my due process rights, I was told by the provost that I didn’t have any. Here’s the quote:

“There is no constitutional right to represent the University of Kentucky abroad. Nor is there a constitutional right to teach a particular class. Accordingly, the University has no obligation to provide you with due process.”

As a result, I was convicted without trial of inappropriate behavior, which never occurred, with two women students. They wanted to defend me, but they were never interviewed by university officials.

The University of Oklahoma is apparently a hot bed of -isms.

A fisking of the "stop Trump by any means necessary" train of thought.

Speaking of public unions. You may not be interested in pain, but pain is interested in you.

There are lots of problems with blue model governance, but the one that is about to upend the status quo around the country is the financial irresponsibility of public sector unions and politicians. The latest headlines this weekend: “Public pension costs projected to reach 30 percent of payroll” and “Across Texas, Public Pensions Face Billions In Shortfalls“. With trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities, the problem will only grow worse.

Face reality? hah!

So this is how it ends — in a whimper wrapped in self-pity and recriminations. With President Obama on the defensive at his final press conference and Hillary Clinton’s last campaign event resembling a wake, the Democratic Party is limping off the stage and into the political winter.

It was supposed to sit atop the national power pyramid for decades, a new paradigm of liberals, progressives, the young, the old, the unions and blacks, Latinos, Muslims and Asians.

The torch would be passed from Obama to Clinton, a liberal Supreme Court would vastly expand executive power and the regulatory state would enforce climate-change orthodoxy on all industry and elitist dictates on every American. Globalism would be the new patriotism.

But a funny thing happened on the way to one-party dominance: The people who work for a living said no, hell no.

from the NYPOST article IRA posted. Seems de- Blasio thinks he's Dr. Who and can go back in time.

"And he charged the campaign for a $297 flight to Washington for his son to attend the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech — in 2010, three years before the election.

Defending the indefensible, de Blasio’s campaign said the expenditure was valid because his son, Dante, attended “as a visible manifestation of how the candidate’s life experience was resonant to the spirit of the occasion.”'

Got to love these DEMs. They are so deserving.

This will end well. Reports that I've seen suggest that the ambassador did not survive.

The Russian ambassador to Ankara was shot in an attack at an art gallery in the Turkish capital on Monday and the Russian RIA news agency said he had died of his wounds.

The Anadolu news agency said the gunman had been "neutralized" soon after the attack, which appeared to mark one of the most serious spillovers of the Syria conflict in Turkey. Relations between Moscow and Ankara have long been fraught over the conflict, the two supporting opposing sides.

Some days, you just gotta hang in there.

What happens when you cram too many incompatible special snowflakes into the same safe space? why, a fight of course!

This year’s University of California Students of Color Conference unproductively devolved into something of an “oppression Olympics” between different minority groups, prompting arguments between participants and ultimately leading to some canceled sessions at the annual event.

UCLA student Jacqueline Alvarez told The College Fix as much in a recent telephone interview, standing behind an op-ed she wrote in the Daily Bruin campus newspaper detailing the same.

She described the conference not only as an “oppression Olympics” but also “a safe space gone wrong” in her opinion article.

Well, looks like ISIS has finally responded to Trump's victory.

Rushton told CNN that the truck didn't slow down. She said the truck was traveling about 40 mph through a crowded pedestrian area.

"There's no way it was an accident," Rushton told CNN.

"We saw at least 10 people" injured and lying on the ground, she said.
Police could not confirm whether the incident was related to terror and had no information on the driver.

Video showed the vehicle was a tractor-trailer.

America suffered through a few "faithless electors" today but still managed to get the job done.

Donald Trump vs. environMENTALism:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/12/19/trump-versus-the-green-blob-the-battle-that-will-define-his-presidency/

"The latest headlines this weekend: “Public pension costs projected to reach 30 percent of payroll” and “Across Texas, Public Pensions Face Billions In Shortfalls“. With trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities, the problem will only grow worse."

We hit this in August 2100. If a company or government body offers a pension as compensation for working there, you should pay attention to that when you have a stake.
And if you see someone objecting to that - well, they're missing a few fries from their Happy Meal.

Ick. August 2011. Sorry. Resetting the TARDIS.
