[Well, we finally made it to 2020. Can anyone imagine that this may be the first year during which our progressive commenters discuss issues instead of arriving here to exchange ad hominems? We continue to hope that they have the ability to do that. gjr]

Quotes and bonus.
For the record: “I support the president, and I applaud what he’s done. More than any other president in my lifetime, this president has respected and restrained his use of commander-in-chief power afforded to him under Article II of the Constitution.” —Sen. Mike Lee
Observations: “We have become unable to rouse ourselves to take public problems seriously unless we can persuade ourselves that they present immediate and utterly apocalyptic dangers. As a result, we can’t focus on the routine demands of self-government, or on the longer-term preconditions for a thriving society. This perverse and frenzied myopia — call it hellscape short-termism — stands in the way of a functional American politics.” —Yuval Levin
Political futures: “It’s kind of unreal when you think about it. Democrats spent the last two months free-falling in the polls ‘cause of their dumb impeachment, and now their recovery plan is to attack Trump for killing a terrorist. Genius.” —Jesse Kelly
Dezinformatsiya: “I think it’s difficult for most people in the United States and outside of Iran and perhaps the region to grasp the unique place and role that General Soleimani played in Iran and in regional politics. … To be clear, there were plenty of Iranians who did not love or respect General Soleimani, but there were activists, there were opposition figures who had been jailed by the regime who attended. And when I asked them, ‘Why are you there, why are you going?’ the response was, ‘General Soleimani protected our national security. He transcended politics. He was a national hero.’” —New York Times’s Farnaz Fassihi
False equivalency: “When Princess Diana died … there was a huge emotional outpouring. … Elvis Presley in our culture. It turns out that this general [Trump] killed was a beloved hero of the Iranian people. … There’s no American emotion in this case, but there’s a hell of a lot of emotion on the other side. Should our leaders know what they’re doing when they kill somebody?” —MSNBC’s Chris Matthews
The BIG Lie: “We are concerned that the senators will not be able to live up to the oath that they must take to have an impartial trial.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Braying jenny: “I’m not holding [impeachment articles] indefinitely. I will send them over when I’m ready.” —Nancy Pelosi (“Speaker Pelosi has managed to do the impossible. She has created growing bipartisan unity — in opposition to her own reckless games with impeachment.” —Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell)
Trump Derangement Syndrome: “Innocent civilians are now dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of all 176 souls lost aboard this flight.” —Pete Buttigieg
Non compos mentis: “I think every time … I hear of conversations around war, I find myself being stricken with PTSD. And I find peace knowing that I serve with great advocates for peace and people who have shown courage against war.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar
And last… “If you’re blaming the United States because Iran shot down a commercial airliner, you are a lying hack whose lies and hackery are in service to a foreign enemy. You are an embarrassment to this country and the rest of us are ashamed of you.” —Matt Walsh

Survey sez: Delusions of Grandeur
CLIMATE-CHANGE ALARMISTS ARE GETTING MORE DELUSIONAL IN THEIR PREDICTIONS
“A majority of the public seems to have rejected the climate delusion because they’ve reasonably concluded that, although humans may be affecting the climate, the world isn’t going to end, and proposals to fight climate change will cause them far more pain and suffering than climate change itself.
This situation has alarmists casting aspersions and looking for scarier “messaging,” as if selling climate change is a marketing campaign rather than a matter of science, freedom, and prosperity.
Enjoy the show!“

Orange Man Very Bad attacks environmental protections!!!!
“Trump Targets ‘Outrageously Slow’ Environmental Reviews
Delaying infrastructure projects for a decade is no way to approach the 21st century”
“The president proposes limiting less comprehensive reviews to one year, while bigger ones would be granted two years. “It took four years to build the Golden Gate Bridge, five years to build the Hoover Dam and less than one year — can you believe that — to build the Empire State Building,” Trump said. Surely, environmental reviews can be completed in such timeframes.
Leftists, who if they’re honest simply don’t want much new infrastructure, predictably reacted with dreadful apocalyptic warnings that grossly mischaracterize what Trump is doing. According to Brett Hartl of the Center for Biological Diversity, “Forcing federal agencies to ignore environmental threats is a disgraceful abdication of our responsibility to protect the planet for future generations.”
