Coach Popovich Pops Off
I have no real objection to the coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich, insulting President Trump. That’s his right as an American citizen. But I do find it contemptible that he would then take the opportunity to dismiss the 61 million Americans who voted for Trump as “a—holes.”

Is the FBI Out to Commit Suicide?
If the bureau was an individual who had been arrested, the cops would have removed his belt and shoelaces and placed him on suicide watch to make certain he didn’t off himself during the night.
Resistance
I was taking my dog for his morning run at the state park near our house the other day. I pulled into the parking lot behind a Prius with a very large “Resist” bumper sticker just as a couple was getting out with their dog. I decided to break my golden rule of never discussing religion or politics at the park. After all, the odds were good that the couple were dog lovers, so I figured I’d take my chances.
The Negative Impact of the #MeToo Movement
Our nation is about to be transformed, thanks to the #MeToo movement. I am not speaking about a cessation of sexual predation in the workplace. If that were the only consequence of #MeToo, the movement would clearly be a force for good. Unfortunately, its effects are going to be more sweeping and destructive.

The politics of personal destruction, a phrase popularized by Bill Clinton during his impeachment proceedings, has reached a new low. Yesterday, Dr. Ronny Jackson withdrew his name from consideration to lead the Veterans Administration.
A True State’s Man: Pompeo Wins DOS Post
No wonder President Trump is frustrated. Heading into this week, the U.S. Senate had only confirmed 432 of his political appointees. (And you thought your HR department was slow!) To the White House’s relief, that number climbed to 433 after a Thursday afternoon vote that sent CIA Director Mike Pompeo to his new post as secretary of state.
Madness in the Western Mind
Because the United Kingdom has decided Alfie Evans really belongs to the state, the state can kill him.
Democrats’ Universal Job Plan Would Be a Socialist Disaster
