Don’t bring the debt ceiling into border negotiations – Washington Examiner
With a little more than a fortnight to go before the government shuts down once more in the absence of a budget deal, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has publicly touted bringing a debt ceiling deal into the mix of border security negotiations. This should really go without saying, but adding even more brinkmanship into Republicans’ common sense compromise is a terrible call. For one thing, Democrats successfully called President Trump’s…

The Left abandons safe, legal, and rare – Washington Examiner
Over the past few decades, the American public has become more socially liberal on most issues. It has reversed its opposition to gay marriage and marijuana legalization and grown unsupportive of the death penalty. But there’s one issue that’s effectively stagnated, evenly dividing the electorate, with no signs of budging: abortion. Twenty years ago, 56 percent of the country favored legal abortion. Today, that number is 57 percent, with minimal…

Polar vortex 2019 photos: What -20 degrees looks like in the Midwest – Vox.com
It’s hard to comprehend temperatures of minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s much, much colder than the temperature the standard home freezer keeps food at (which is around zero). At -20°F vodka freezes and boiling water will instantly turn to snow if thrown in the air. Combined with wind, this kind of cold causes frostbite to set in on exposed skin in just minutes. It’s a temperature comparable to the weather…

Trump Calls Intelligence Officials ‘Naive’ After They Contradict Him – The New York Times

Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, had told lawmakers that North Korea’s leaders “ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival.” He said that there…

Video When can Venezuela expect ousted President Maduro to step down? Asymmetrica CEO Vanessa Neumann says that constitutionally opposition leader Juan Guaidó is the new president of Venezuela. Several liberal Democrats are speaking out against the Trump administration’s stance against Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro — even describing the support for opposition leader Juan Guaido as a “US backed coup” — despite bipartisan support elsewhere for the administration’s actions.

President Donald Trump and radio provocateur Rush Limbaugh seemed bemused by the notion that the climate is warming at a time when most of America will be hunkering down against sub-freezing temperatures. But climate authorities,…
