Because when it comes to saving my life, the very first thing I look for is the "diversity" of the medical team. Dear Lord, CNN, could you at least try to pretend to be actual journalists?
It's a statement that's as predictable as it is infuriating: President Donald Trump's administration lacks diversity.

On Tuesday, Trump tweeted photos of a briefing he'd received on the new coronavirus spreading out of China.
"We will continue to monitor the ongoing developments," the President said in his post. "We have the best experts anywhere in the world, and they are on top of it 24/7!"
Who are these experts? They're largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who've dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning.

BREAKFAST SANDWICH
In case any of you are still wondering, the only "fair trial" Egg McMuffin and all the rest of the anti-Trump hysterics will accept as "fair" is a "trial" in which Trump is convicted and removed from office. Anything else is a sham, a fraud and a cover-up.
UPDATE: Egg, I'm thinking more along the lines of Trump committing an actual crime next time. You know, like lying to a grand jury or something. Oh, wait, IMPEACHED DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT Bill Clinton already got away with that one.

ANNIVERSARY
Seventy-five years ago, we learned what humanity was capable of.
Read Emily's whole thread.
If you ever get a chance, check out a series of documentaries produced by a man named Guido Knopp and entitled "Hitler's Holocaust." If you don't want to buy this (assuming it's for sale), I saw it on my smart phone on one of the many free TV/movie apps that you can download.
I have to warn you, though, that this is one of the most harrowing and awful things you will ever see because Knopp does not hold back. Pictures of dead bodies, some of them quite gruesome, are shown directly and frequently all through this series.
And you have not lived until you've seen a picture of the results of some Nazis or Nazi-sympathizers (of whom there were FAR more than you'd like to think that there would be among people who believed themselves to be Christians) somewhere or other trying to burn the corpses of dead Jews. There was a layer of cordwood, a layer of bodies, another layer of cordwood, another layer of bodies, etc.
I see that picture in my dreams.
Then there were the stories the survivors told. One after another, we hear of the everyday humiliations of people who had always thought of themselves as good and loyal Germans. Humiliations that gradually got more and more intense until they culminated in being loaded into trains with long lines of cattle cars and which ended up at Auschwitz.
Then there was Auschwitz, etc.
Seriously. It's a terrible thing to watch. But you need to watch it.
You need to know how it was.

A DOLLAR SHORT
Pointless "church" issues worthless declaration.
The Organization of England has stated that sex belongs only within heterosexual marriage, and that sex in gay or straight civil partnerships “falls short of God’s purpose for human beings”.
Bishops have issued pastoral guidance in response to the recent introduction to mixed-sex civil partnerships, which says: “For Christians, marriage – that is, the lifelong union between a man and a woman, contracted with the making of vows – remains the proper context for sexual activity.”
The church “seeks to uphold that standard” in its approach to civil partnerships, and “to affirm the value of committed, sexually abstinent friendships” within such partnerships.
It adds: “Sexual relationships outside heterosexual marriage are regarded as falling short of God’s purpose for human beings.”
Content edited slightly.
Let me save you some time. Somewhere or other, some "courageous" Organization of England vicar or other will "marry" two men, two women, two men and a woman, two women and a man, two men and two women, two men, two women and a tin of anchovies, two men, two women, a tin of anchovies and a belt sander, two men, two women, a tin of anchovies, a belt sander and a large jar of Marmite, etc. and some "courageous" bishop will back him/her up.

PERSONAL OPINION
Erick? If you seriously believe that this crap:
Executive privilege should not apply in an impeachment trial. Close it to the public if need be and refrain from putting it in the open record. But all information should be on the table.
would improve anything at all, than I'm sorry but you shouldn't be allowed out in public unsupervised by adults. Because we all know that political leaks NEVER occur.
Idiot. These are pretty close to the stupidest words that you've ever written about anything.

I guess if you sell meth, you probably do meth.
A Florida man attempted a “not so great escape” last week when he tried hiding from deputies underwater in a pond – an “action movie” stunt that officials easily foiled when he came up for air, authorities said.
Daniel Christopher Booth, 36, had warrants out for his arrest in Baker County for selling methamphetamine, the Suwanee County Sheriff’s Office wrote Wednesday on Facebook.
When a deputy attempted to arrest Booth at his job at a solar power plant, the sheriff’s office said, the 36-year-old ran away and dove into a pond.
Deputies quickly spotted Booth when he came to the surface for air and made the arrest, according to the post.

Democratic 2020 candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Sunday questioned whether Americans want to support a presidential candidate who doesn’t tell the truth.
Why in the world would anyone ever ask Cigar Store that? Makes no sense.
Warren, who has repeatedly struggled with the truth on the campaign trail, was asked during a press scrum whether it’s “disqualifying for a presidential candidate to lie to the American public about anything?”
Ol' 1/1,024 answered as follows.
“I would think that it — you know, how could the American people want someone who lies to them?” Warren answered. “I think that we just do our best out there every day, and I hope that’s what happens with everyone.”

NOTE TO SELF
Pick up a few bags of fish sticks at the grocery store this afternoon.
Fish sticks may seem harmless, but the tiny food is creating a huge carbon footprint.
A new study has found that transforming Alaskan Pollock into fish sticks, imitation crab and fish fillets generates nearly twice the greenhouse gas emissions produced by fishing itself.
The team noted that catching the fish is a 'relatively fuel-efficient fishery', but then it is shipped in massive containers which burn poor-quality bunker fuel that produces high levels of sulfur particles.
And I don't even like fish sticks that much. Maybe I'll get some more imitation crab instead.

OKAY, DREW, THIS IS JUST MEAN
Back then, Adam Wainwright was too young and stupid to know that he wasn't supposed to be able to do this at all, never mind on a national stage.
ARMAGEDDON
If you ever wanted to kill not only the United States Constitution but the whole concept of the United States itself, I can't think of a better way to do it than this.
If the Trump era has taught us anything, it's that large numbers of white people in the United States are motivated at least in part by racism in the voting booth. Donald Trump ran an openly racist campaign for president, calling Mexicans rapists and criminals, regularly retweeting white supremacists and at least initially balking at repudiating former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Trump made it clear in his campaign that "Make America Great Again" meant that America was greater when white people's power was more sweeping and more secure. White voters approved of that message by a whopping 58 percent to 37 percent.
Some politicians deny the evidence, no doubt because they don't want to alienate white voters, including prejudiced ones. Other commentators try to parse whether Trump's racism will be a winning strategy in 2020. Terry Smith, a visiting professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, offers a different response in his new book, "Whitelash: Unmasking White Grievance at the Ballot Box." Rather than excuse racist voters or try to figure out how to live with their choices, he argues that racist voting is not just immoral, but illegal. The government, Smith says, has the ability, and the responsibility, to address it.
This is never ever going to happen but if it did, if a legal election was ever invalidated because of the claimed motivation of the people who voted the "wrong" way, that would literally be the end of the United States of America as any of you have known it. What would be the motivation for me or anyone else to continue to observe any laws Washington passed about anything?
Would a new "Confederate States of America" result? Probably not. Five, six, seven new nations might result. Or 30 to 40, depending. Some of these new nations might form some kind of protective association with one another that the media would no doubt label "Confederate States" but it really wouldn't be anything like that since most of these new states would be above the Mason-Dixon Line.
In the meantime, the United States economy would completely collapse, taking the world economy with it, while the United States of America would become the new Holy Roman Empire.
An idea that sounded really good at the time.

Democrats in the House of Representatives blocked a vote Tuesday to support the protesters in Iran who are demonstrating against the regime.
Consideration and a vote on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s resolution was blocked because Democrats advanced the previous question, by a vote of 226-191. The resolution would have condemned the Government of Iran for killing 1,500 Iranian citizens who were protesting their government, as well as condemned the Government of Iran for shooting down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, killing 176 people.

Haley-Hawley 2024? Sounds like a pretty decent bet at this stage.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is backing a resolution to change the Senate’s rules to allow for lawmakers to dismiss articles of impeachment against President Trump before the House sends them over.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo) announced on Thursday that McConnell has signed on as a co-sponsor to the resolution, which he introduced earlier this week.
The resolution would give the House 25 days to send articles of impeachment over to the Senate. After that, a senator could offer a motion to dismiss "with prejudice for failure by the House of Representatives to prosecute such articles" with a simple majority vote, according to Hawley's proposal.
Word is that Nanner McBotox will be sending the articles over to the Senate real soon.

PENS AND PHONES
Are bad things in the wrong hands, aren't they, Ketchup Boy?
President Trump says that on his watch, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. But if he had wanted to keep that promise, he should have left the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement in place. Instead, he pulled the United States out of the deal and pursued a reckless foreign policy that has put us on a path to armed conflict with Iran.
After Mr. Trump authorized the killing of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani last week, Iran announced it was no longer obligated to follow the agreement, which had reined in its nuclear ambitions, and it launched ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing American troops, to little effect. Adding to the turmoil, the Iraqi Parliament approved a largely symbolic resolution to expel American troops who have been fighting the Islamic State.
Though Mr. Trump has since walked back from the brink of war, I can’t explain the chaos of his presidency as it lurches from crisis to crisis, real or manufactured. The president has said he “doesn’t do exit strategies.” Clearly he doesn’t do strategies, period.
This moment was nothing if not foreseeable the moment Mr. Trump abandoned the 2015 agreement, which was working, and chose instead to isolate us from our allies, narrow our options in the region and slam shut the door to tackling additional issues with Iran through constructive diplomacy.
Tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to get through the day, Ketchup Boy. But clearly the 2015 agreement wasn't working because if it was, Suleimani would still be in one piece. This might have something to do with the fact that people like you consider "agreements" like this one to be vitally-important international accomplishments whereas people like the Iranians regard them as mere scraps of paper that will buy Washington off at least for a little while.
Grow the hell up.

The Trump administration is barring Iran’s top diplomat from entering the United States this week to address the United Nations Security Council about the U.S. assassination of Iran’s top military official in Baghdad, violating the terms of a 1947 headquarters agreement requiring Washington to permit foreign officials into the country to conduct U.N. business, according to three diplomatic sources.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif requested a visa a “few weeks ago” to enter the United States to attend a Jan. 9 Security Council meeting on the importance of upholding the U.N. Charter, according to a diplomatic source familiar with the matter. The Thursday meeting was to provide Tehran’s top diplomat with his first opportunity to directly address the world community since U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the Jan. 3 drone strike that killed Maj. Gen. Qassem Suleimani, a top Iraqi militia leader, among others.

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
The Methodists accept reality.
The United Methodist Church is expected to split into more than one denomination in an attempt to bring to a close a years-long and contentious fight over same-sex marriage.
The historic schism would divide the third-largest religious denomination in the United States.
Leaders of the church announced Friday they had agreed to spin off a “traditionalist Methodist” denomination, which would continue to oppose same-sex marriage and to refuse ordination to LGBT clergy, while allowing the remaining portion of the United Methodist Church to permit same-sex marriage and LGBT clergy for the first time in its history.
The writers of the plan called the division “the best means to resolve our differences, allowing each part of the Church to remain true to its theological understanding, while recognizing the dignity, equality, integrity, and respect of every person.”
It's there and you can't negotiate your way around it. The idea that any organization, particularly any Christian church, can or ever should allow two contradictory opinions to be held by its members at the same time is understood by most intelligent people to be patently idiotic.
You will recognize this at some point. The only question is when.

UPDATE: Sucks when the wrong people have the pen and the phone, doesn't it, Dems?
I'm old enough to remember when criticizing the president of the United States for killing people without congressional authorization was considered racist. I remember when NPR swooned, "Wielding A Pen And A Phone, Obama Goes It Alone." For eight years, the Obama administration did whatever they wanted and dared anybody to say anything about it, knowing they had the full backing of 99% of the press. Drone-strike a wedding? Hey, these things happen. Kill an American citizen? Never mind, because Obama's only scandal was wearing a tan suit. He got a Nobel Peace Prize after less than a year in office, and that gave him license to kill as many civilians as he wanted. But now that Iranian terrorist Qassem Suleimani has gone bye-bye and Donald Trump is the one who authorized it, everything is different. The old rules no longer apply.
They did write the new rule book. The one Trump's following right now.
UPDATE: Bring it on, candy ass.
Suddenly and unexpectedly, Democrats are concerned about "legality."
Tell you what, Murf. Show me the "congressional authorization" for taking out Bin Laden or any of Jug Ears' other drone kills and get back to me.
UPDATE: Have Ben start with the "legal basis" for Anwar al-Awlaki.
UPDATE: Pete Beinart is inconsolable.
UPDATE: Stolen Valor is in.
UPDATE: The Daily Tina Brown's Ego is worried that we might have offended somebody or something like that.
UPDATE: Take another run at it, left. Dave French isn't even buying what you're selling.
UPDATE: Hell, even Ben Sasse gets it.
UPDATE: Don't want none? Don't start none.
UPDATE: Quick question, Brother Marrier. What was the son of a bitch doing in Iraq?
UPDATE: Lardass-American crapumentarian comes in, as devastated as you might think.
UPDATE: Settle down, Erick.
UPDATE: Corbs? Insofar as Labour got its ass handed to it in your last election, I'd seriously look into sitting this one out if I were you.
UPDATE: Look into the idea of sticking a sock in it, Rosie. You're not making the point that you think you're making.
UPDATE: Kissing mullah ass because you hate Trump.
UPDATE: This hit may be a LOT more important than I thought.
UPDATE: Lincoln: "We sent our army south of the Potomac to preserve the Union. We did not send our army to conquer the South." (Not how the Confederate States see this)
UPDATE: Sucks when the wrong people have the pen and the phone, doesn't it, Dems?
I'm old enough to remember when criticizing the president of the United States for killing people without congressional authorization was considered racist. I remember when NPR swooned, "Wielding A Pen And A Phone, Obama Goes It Alone." For eight years, the Obama administration did whatever they wanted and dared anybody to say anything about it, knowing they had the full backing of 99% of the press. Drone-strike a wedding? Hey, these things happen. Kill an American citizen? Never mind, because Obama's only scandal was wearing a tan suit. He got a Nobel Peace Prize after less than a year in office, and that gave him license to kill as many civilians as he wanted. But now that Iranian terrorist Qassem Suleimani has gone bye-bye and Donald Trump is the one who authorized it, everything is different. The old rules no longer apply.

EVIDENCE, SCHMEVIDENCE
Cut the crap, Tom. The only Senate impeachment "trial" you and your little liberal playmates won't think is a sham is a "trial" in which Trump is found guilty of something or other and removed from office. You're like a dog with a bone.
Bitch.
Bitch.
GLASS HALF FULL
You have to give Gavin Newsom this much. Only he can see losing 200,000 people, a trend which, if some comments at the link are any indication, shows no sign of abating, losing a congressional seat for the first time in California's history, a major increase in the state's homeless population and turning San Francisco into one of the world's most beautiful public toilets as positive accomplishments.
Great job, Gav.
Right back atcha, big dog.

NIGHTMARE SCENARIO
A few days ago, one Keith Kinnunen took a gun into the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas (near Fort Worth) and opened fire, killing two people, before he was himself killed by a single shot from a volunteer church security man named Jack Wilson.
Apparently, at least six other churchgoers were also packing, a fact that bothers Elvia Diaz no end. Granted, Elvia thinks Wilson is a hero.
Jack Wilson is a hero alright. It took him only six seconds to kill a gunman at a Texas church, saving countless lives.
Insert "but" here.
Unfortunately, that kind of split-second heroism has been turned into a PR tool by gun advocates.
Because if anyone absolutely had to carry a gun, Jack Wilson is exactly the sort of person who should have been the only one allowed.
The reality of Wilson's heroism is a lot more complex. He wasn’t just an ordinary parishioner, as gun advocates may want you to believe. The church’s volunteer security team member is a firearms instructor, gun range owner and former reserve deputy with a local sheriff’s department, according to a New York Times detailed account.
Whereas nobody knows who these other people are.

In other words, he’s exactly the kind of man you want around with a firearm. But we know nothing about the at least six other parishioners who also appeared to draw their handguns at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas.
And that's terrifying.
Maybe to you. Sticks out to me that while they may have been ready to fire, these other people had the discipline not to. So there's that.
You know what I can't get past? When you get down to it, it seems to me that the anti-gun left is really, oh, I don't know, disappointed by the results of this encounter. That it would have been better for all concerned if, oh, I don't know, 25 or 30 people had been gunned down before the duly-constituted police and only the police resolved this situation one way or the other.
Can't have people thinking that they can or ever should defend themselves.
WOAANGET FOOLD AGGENN
