If the advances of the last 20 years had magically happened all at once, we would be in awe of those technological miracles. But when those same monumental innovations take place gradually but consistently over several decades, we sometimes lose sight of how transformative and amazing those technological gains really are.

• Rubio destroyed Trump at Thursday nights debate.  Enjoyed watching.  Finally Marco understands that the only way to beat Trump is through non-stop ridicule.  Expose the clown.
• Good to also see Cruz join in, but his attacks on the “establishment” and “Washington Cartel” are getting old.  He needs to focus on Trump if he wants to win.
• Trump’s compliant controlled media elites covered the Christie endorsement as the lead story on Friday versus Trump’s pathetic debate performance.  Rubio and Cruz hammered Donald all night.  Trump was clearly rattled, looked shaken, sounded incoherent.  The unraveling of Trump was the story!
• MSM continues to provide Trump free air time.  Every cable news channel interrupted regular programming Friday night to broadcast a Trump campaign event.  If this clown actually wins, they will regret being  his surrogates.
• This should scare the hell out of the MSM: Trump pledges to curb press freedom libel laws
• I will end on the Biggest Loser of the Week:  Chris Christie.  Three strikes and you’re out in my book – he’s done politically if Trump doesn’t win.
  1. Tough to forget the extended hugging with Obama
  2. Even tougher to forgive him for high-fiving Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones.  It looked pathetic and unmanly, plus no one likes the Dallas Cowboys.
  3. Trump’s lackey, flunky, manservant

When I hear complaints about income inequality, I recall a quote from George Will:

Envy is the only one of the seven deadly sins that doesn’t give even a moments pleasure.

How true.  Bernie and Hillary continue to preach income inequality.  They look to bring out the worst in people in an attempt to insight class warfare.  They ignore the simple truth that Free Markets and Capitalism have lifted mankind from thousands of years of gut-wrenching poverty.  Why would anyone want to turn back time and hand over their economic freedom to government bureaucrats?

This is an oldie but still relevant given that public sector unions put Democratic PA Governor Tom Wolf in office.  No wonder we are still at a budget impasse…
