"Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless, America, thank you very much," is how President Trump ended last night's State of the Union speech.
As he was saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up a transcript of the president's speech.

(PragerU) We Need to Talk About Public Pension Liabilities
State and local governments have been doing what too many of us do. Run up the charge card bill, open the bill to find out what the minimum payment is, and then forget about it.
Only these government agencies are doing that with unionized public-sector worker packages. Who will bail them out?
You will.

Sanders leads in latest New Hampshire poll
Perhaps socialist Bernie Sanders doesn't need an Iowa Caucuses bounce.
From the Boston Globe:
From the Boston Globe:
Days ahead of the nation’s first presidential primary, Senator Bernie Sanders has opened up a six-point lead over former vice president Joe Biden, according to a new Boston Globe/WBZ-TV/Suffolk University poll of likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters.
Sanders, the Vermont independent who captured a convincing victory in New Hampshire four years ago, garnered 24 percent in the survey, buoyed by strong support from younger voters and independents. Biden took 18 percent.
Senator Elizabeth Warren had 13 percent, followed by former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg, at 11 percent. The rest of the field was in single digits, while 12 percent of those surveyed said they were undecided eight days ahead of the Feb. 11 vote.
After crushing Iowa Caucuses defeat, Joe Walsh says, "Clearly, I don’t belong in Trump’s Republican Party"
There were two Iowa Caucus contests Monday night. The Republican one went swimmingly, both in regards to the counting of votes and for Donald Trump. The incumbent collected over 97 percent of the vote. Hovering around one-percent--and collecting no delegates were former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld and former talk radio host and ex-Illinois congressman Joe Walsh.
As for Walsh, it looks like he's throwing in the towel, saying just now on Twitter, "For 5 months, I’ve told tens of thousands of Republicans why I believe Donald Trump is unfit to be President. Last night, I stood in front of 3,000 Iowa Republicans & said the same thing. Almost all of them disagreed with me. Clearly, I don't belong in Trump's Republican Party."

Well Joe, this has been Trump's GOP for four years now. You are just now learning this fact?For 5 months, I’ve told tens of thousands of Republicans why I believe Donald Trump is unfit to be President. Last night, I stood in front of 3,000 Iowa Republicans & said the same thing. Almost all of them disagreed with me.— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) February 4, 2020

Iowa Blackeye, failed vote tabulation app tied to staffers from the 2016 Hillary campaign
The Democrats want to run the country but they can't run a caucus. The Iowa Caucuses came and went last night and results are somewhere in the cloud--or sitting on hundreds of smartphones and tablets because of the failure of a vote tabulation app.
To be fair, the caucus system if fundamentally flawed. Do you remember 2012 when Mitt Romney won the Republican Iowa Caucuses? Except he didn't, two weeks after further counting it turned out Rick Santorum did.
The failed app apparently was created by former staffers of--wait for it--the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign.

4 dead and at least 19 wounded over weekend in Chicago
Warm weather returned to Chicago over the weekend--and that apparently brought out hot tempers. Four people were shot to death over the weekend and at least 19 others were wounded.
Of the fatalities, a man was killed while riding in the back seat of a car in Little Village. A woman also sitting in the back seat of that car was wounded. Several hours earlier, in that same Southwest Side neighborhood, a man standing on the corner was shot in a drive-by.
A South Chicago man was also shot dead.
In Englewood, a 15-year-old boy was killed in a shooting.
Among the others wounded is a Chicago firefighter who was shot in the leg in Albany Park while responding to a car fire.
