I particularly enjoyed the predictions of our Thug in Chief.

Yale Law Professor Stephen L. Carter nails it: 

[T]he left has work to do, not only on policy and organization but also on attitude. Too many of my progressive friends seem to have forgotten how to make actual arguments, and have become expert instead at condemnation, derision and mockery. On issue after issue, they’re very good at explaining why no one could oppose their policy positions except for the basest of motives. As to those positions themselves, they are too often announced with a zealous solemnity suggesting that their views are Holy Writ—and those who disagree are cast into the outer political darkness. In short, the left has lately been dripping with hubris, which in classic literature always portends a fall.

No Jacket Required (1985).

Hillary Clinton is in denial. She was one of the worst presidential candidates in the history of the United States, and yet she blames FBI Director James Comey for her defeat. Excuse me, but didn't Comey exonerate her twice? Here are some reasons why she lost:

• All of her "accomplishments" came at the hands of men. Her husband put her into the Governor's Mansion in Arkansas and later in the White House. She was "awarded" a Senate seat by the voters of New York, a state to which she had no connection. Barack Obama named her Secretary of State. She was elected to only one position in her entire career, and accomplished little or nothing while in office.
• She allowed an American ambassador and several others to be killed.
• She enabled, protected, and defended a sexual predator, which gives the lie to her claim of being a feminist.
• She was bought and paid for by bankers, hedge-fund managers, lobbyists, and other wealthy donors.
• Like Boss Tweed many decades before her, she used her political position to become personally wealthy.
• Her voice is less pleasant than fingernails on a blackboard.
• She is a master triangulator who stands for nothing and says whatever she thinks will get her elected.
• She lacks the stamina that is essential to presiding over the executive branch of government and conducting foreign affairs.

I could go on, but you get the point. Thank God we vomited this woman and her disgusting husband out of our digestive system.

Donald Trump will be 70 years old when he takes office on 20 January 2017. Ronald Reagan was a few days shy of his 74th birthday when he took office in January 1985 (upon being elected to a second term). Here is how old four Democrats will be on 20 January 2021, which is the earliest they could take office:

• Bernie Sanders: 79
• Joe Biden: 78
• Hillary Clinton: 73
• Elizabeth Warren: 71

Sanders and Biden will be too old. If Warren is healthy, she could run in 2020. Clinton is in bad health, so she won't be able to run again.

To the Editor:

Some advice for heartbroken Americans from a British “Remain” voter:

You will go through the five stages of grief, multiple times.

You will look at everybody suspiciously (he didn’t, did he?).

You will feel like a stranger in your own country.

You will be embarrassed when you go abroad (I display an “I voted Remain” badge when I go to mainland Europe).

You will have to accept the truth that a huge number of your fellow countrymen are, at the bottom of it, racist.

You will become exhausted by the whole business.

You will seek out like-minded people for comfort.

And in the end, you have to believe that it will all shake down O.K.

Note from KBJ: I have some advice of my own for "heartbroken Americans":

1. You will experience precisely what millions of Americans experienced when you elected a community organizer as our president.
2. You will be embarrassed that you did this when you see what a real leader looks like.
3. You will realize that you voted for Barack Obama solely in order to alleviate your guilt at being white, and that this makes you a racist.
4. You will realize that you voted for Hillary Clinton solely in order to put a woman in the White House, and that this makes you a sexist.
5. You will seek out like-minded people for comfort, thereby ensuring that you fail to understand why so many of us voted for Donald Trump.

As you were.
