In my many years I have come to a conclusion that
one useless man is a shame,
two is a law firm, and
three or more is a congress.

John Kasich has run a state; all @realDonaldTrump knows how to run is his mouth (nuns in Catholic school would have washed out with soap).

@realDonaldTrump is upset that Kasich is attacking his inexperience to be Commander-in-Chief. He challenged Kasich to a game of Battleship.

@realDonaldTrump's advocacy of a national registry of Muslims is unconstitutional in concept. His fascism goes beyond the economy.

@realDonaldTrump, Pied Piper of RINOs, xenophobes and the less educated, has come out against Amendments 1, 5, & 14. https://t.co/ERcBfIFCPp

Jeb Bush shows once again that he's 50 times more qualified to be President than the nativist @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/4LYexax95Z

Trump extended his post-Paris streak of poll wins with a 9-point advantage over essentially a 3-way tie among Carson, Cruz, and Rubio (2 points down). Carson had topped Trump in the last OK poll I saw a month back. Trump is irked by a Kasich PAC coming after him (and Carson) for inexperience.

(Reason). Libertarianish Senators Rand Paul and Jeff Flake want to limit the types of French and European citizens America will let visit without a background check.
Anyone who trusts the State with the fundamental right to travel/migrate is hardly "libertarian". The fearmongering pushing-on-a-string bullshit by political whores like Feinstein and Flake should be seen for what it is. Deregulation of travel paperwork has been win-win for both US and EU citizens.
Libertarians condemn waivers to violate Law, in allowing unvetted foreigners with possible terrorist ties to come to our country without having to pass the same checks that our government requires of our own citizens... and Reason magazine condemns that and apparently wants Big Government to disregard Law and give preferrential treatment and waivers to cronies!
Wrong, assholes! The right to migrate is fundamental. The idea you enact special interest barriers to entry does NOT make it constitutional.
(Cato Institute). "Global surface temperature has risen about 0.8°C in the last 125 years. The surface temperature you experience will rise, on average, that much if you drive 150 miles south. Raleigh, North Carolina, does not typically send terrorists to Washington."
Only terrorism by ecofascists.
(Pro-Life Libertarians). Accurate or not?

When a pro-life conservative says "let them stay in YOUR home" when considering whether refugees should be allowed, just tell them that every baby that they would force to be born instead of aborted must stay in their home as well.
Excuse me? Everyone has a fundamental right to migrate. This doesn't mean by recognizing that right, we guarantee so-called positive rights, i.e., that I subsidize him. Similarly, when I recognize someone's right to live, I don't have a moral obligation to support him. I am responsible for my own actions; if I father a child, I do have a responsibility to sustain/raise him. I may/may not choose to take on another man's child; but my decision does not make that child's right to live any less than my own child's.
(Sick of Lawsuits). As abusive lawsuits continue to plague our court system, Sick of Lawsuits takes a look at what trial lawyers are bringing to the Thanksgiving buffet of lawsuit abuse. A little warning: not all of these dishes are tasty for consumers.
I think we all need to go on a diet...
