Infrastructure Freezes Texas in its Tracks
Dallas hit 81 degrees yesterday, but the Polar Vortex froze Texas stiff last week. President Trump met with union bosses 84 degrees ago to talk infrastructure.
We are so far behind the curve in terms of infrastructure, everything from canals to highways to airports, to everything we can do and we need to do to make ourselves competitive in the 21st century.

And then there’s the Keystone XL Pipeline.
In revoking this permit, the Biden Administration has chosen to listen to the voices of fringe activists instead of union members and the American consumer on Day 1

Texas Battle Cry: Remember the Windmills
Texas gets 23% of its energy from windmills. J.R. Ewing must be spinning in his grave. He’s probably trying to generate some heat. The windmills don’t. They’re frozen.
Texans are freezing without power, but remember the Alamo! Texans will stay and fight to the end. All except Senator Ted Cruz that is. He lit out for Cancun.
Big Voice on the Right, Rush Limbaugh 1951 – 2021, RIP
Rush Limbaugh was “The Big Voice on the Right.” He earned his self-proclaimed title when Ronald Reagan dismantled the Fairness Doctrine in 1987. That allowed radio stations to broadcast Limbaugh’s raucous conservative opinions without giving equal time to offended liberals. It was a winning formula, and in the process he saved AM radio.
And he continued to dominate conservative talk until he died yesterday of lung cancer.
Big Voice on the Right
He was an entertainer who knew and respected his audience. But he also had an uncanny knack for stringing together news items and ideas to make a witty point. Almost always mocking the left. The left is lucky he didn’t draw.
Rush claimed to know liberals like “every square inch of his glorious naked body.” And, thanks to “talent on loan from God,” he claimed he could beat them with “half his brain tied behind his back.”
So that’s why I figured I had an original cartoon idea – yesterday. Rest in peace, Rush…
More great minds….
I, for one, say thank you to Rush for airing those views all these many years with his “talent on loan from G-d,” with the hope that it remains “on loan” for many more years to come.

Lincoln Project Swamp Creatures get Rich Quick
The Lincoln Project’s Band of Brothers—initially four financially strapped, embittered middle-aged white male Washington insiders—lectured the country that those few, those happy few, that band of brothers would fight for us. If only they were adequately funded, they could save us from the moral turpitude of four more years of Trump.
Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness
Professor Hanson above is describing four establishment Republican campaign consultants dedicated to defeating Trump and electing Joe Biden.
Donors and lucrative on-line anti-Trump ads solved the inadequate funding problem by raising ninety million dollars. But half of that went to firms run by the founders.
And as for moral turpitude, twenty-one men accused Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver of sexual harassment.
Co-founder George Conway is calling for an investigation. His wife is former Trump counselor Kelleyanne Conway.
And another co-founder, Steve Schmidt, has pulled out.
Room Temperature Impeachment Targets
Given that Donald Trump is out of office, and apparently need not be present to win – or lose, could room temperature impeachments become the next big lockdown hit? Let’s dig up some oldies but goodies, and not so goodies, for the scarlet “I”.
Room Temperature Impeachment
How about Earl Warren? He was a popular impeachment target in the South when there was real systemic racism Jim Crow style.
Andrew Johnson must be spinning in his grave now that Trump has doubled his impeachment total.
Or how about Richard Nixon? He wrangled a resignation and pardon from his successor President Gerald Ford. Maybe Trump could have worked the same deal with his loyal vice president – the ” weak,” “pathetic“,”unpatriotic,” “pussy” Mike Pence.
Or not.
