Don Surber gives his take on President Trump's speech to Congress Tuesday.
The biggest ovation of the night went to Chief Special Warfare Operator William “Ryan” Owens, the Navy SEAL who died in last month’s counterterrorism raid in Yemen.
His father was bitter over it, as one might expect. But his widow, Carryn Owens, was there and President Trump assured her that her husband did not die in vain. The president's words and the waves of applause for her husband had to ease some of the great grief she feels. I pray his father, too, gets some solace from this night.
(I hate writing when I am crying. I apologize.)

Guess who went to dinner
IJR's Benny Johnson got a front row seat Saturday when President Trump went out to dinner.
It was quite a treat for those at the restaurant.
Another woman tells Trump it's her birthday and gets a selfie. The woman tells me emotionally afterward that she had no idea Trump would be here. She booked the birthday dinner a month ago and said meeting Trump here was, “like meeting Walt Disney in Disneyland.”

There's been smoke rising from a new restaurant just off I-64 in Waynesboro.

Not worth watching
Scott Adams describes how his TV viewing is decreasing.
I can’t watch any of those commercials without feeling bad. And that bad feeling is associated with the news channel that carries those commercials. If you associate a bad feeling with a good product for long enough, the good product will become intolerable.
I see no hope of television surviving in the long run if they stick with their current business model of training their customers to hate the entire television experience.

Ready for Tuesday's excitement
President Trump addresses Congress Tuesday.
The president’s first speech to Congress will draw a huge TV audience, and the chances are next to nil that he will use the occasion to pretend to be somebody he is not.
To be clear, he is capable of change when it’s necessary. During the campaign, Trump had the discipline to stick to the issues after he dug himself into rabbit holes and started to use a teleprompter to avoid mistakes.
But as president, it’s far too early to declare peace. He’s at war with the status quo and caving in to dead-ender opponents after five weeks would mark him as weak with his core supporters. He wants to expand his power, not reduce it, as he begins the dance with Congress over ObamaCare, tax reform and the budget.
Get your popcorn ready.

Slap Shot plus 40
The movie "Slap Shot" debuted 40 years ago, and the people of Johnstown celebrated this weekend.
The Hanson Brothers have been there for many years.
We've been back together for over 25 years now. I was coaching in Memphis, and I brought the boys in because we weren't drawing very well in the Central League. Dave was the general manager of the Capital District Islanders, and he wasn't drawing very well. We brought [the Hansons] into Memphis, no long hair, just mustaches, and we sold out the place. Dave did the same thing in Albany, New York. And ... it has been just an unbelievable ride. We've been all over Canada and all over the United States. We've been to Germany four times, London, England, and Dave made a trip to Australia last year.

Winner of the losers
The Democratic National Committee has a new chairman - Thomas Perez.
Don Surber isn't impressed.
Barack Obama -- who took a filibuster-proof Senate and turned it into a pumpkin -- and Hillary Clinton -- whose debacle on 8 NOV 16 made her a cosmic joke -- chose the new DNC chairman.
Barely. 235-200 on the second ballot.
Expect more money to be raised and wasted on technocratic nonsense than ever before.

Bye bye mandate
It's been slow going for the Obamacare repeal in Congress, but it looks like a plan is coming together.
A draft Republican bill replacing President Barack Obama’s health care law would end its Medicaid expansion, scrap fines on people not buying insurance and eliminate taxes on the medical industry and higher earners.
Instead, it would create tax credits worth up to $4,000, allow bigger contributions to personal health savings accounts and impose a new levy on expensive health coverage some employees get at work.
Let's see how the push works.

Can we use your pool?
Via Ace, a great quote in the profile of Tucker Carlson.
Carlson recounts, with some amusement, how he saw these attitudes surface in his neighbors’ response to Trump’s victory. He recalls receiving a text message on election night from a stunned Democratic friend declaring his intention to flee the country with his family. Carlson replied by asking if he could use their pool while they were gone.

Devil with the blue suit on
The Washington Post gives space for a pastor who felt "demonic activity" at President Trump's rally.
What sparked his feeling?
I heard two ladies off to my left chanting, not yelling or screaming but chanting, “T-R … U-M-P; that’s how you spell — bigotry!” They repeated the rhyme over and over.
When protesters visit a Trump rally, you should expect fireworks.

2020 vision
Did you like President Trump's Florida rally Saturday?
There's more to come in the four-year reelection campaign.
Recent presidents have established their reelection campaign committees in their third year in office to meet ballot access deadlines for key nominating contests and to have time to raise sufficient campaign funds. Trump, in contrast, filed the paperwork to establish his reelection campaign committee on Jan. 20, 2017, the day he took office. This enables his campaign to fundraise for his reelection in his first weeks, months and years in office, including, as one news article noted, raising funds from ongoing sales of his “Make America Great Again” hats. He has also filed a trademark application for a reelection slogan, “Keep America Great.”
Trump is always thinking ahead.

Deep thoughts on deep state
Althouse provides a deep look at deep state.
I want to include all of Lane's answer just because I thought he said a lot of good things (not because they're on the topic of "deep state"):
I want to include all of Lane's answer just because I thought he said a lot of good things (not because they're on the topic of "deep state"):
LANE: You sure got a lot... of resistance from the problems. But let me make my second point. Of course you’re getting resistance from all these sort of establishment agencies, if you like, because Donald Trump himself came in promising to attack them, promising to disrupt them, promising to take them down. What does he expect them to do, just stand back and let him, you know, destroy their influence and their power? Of course there’s going to be resistance. But, you know, he -- it’s not as if he avoids provocation of these people, particularly the media, as you have been pointing out. He relishes this combat. A lot of what he’s complaining about as resistance and so forth is resistance that he himself is provoking for the very political reasons.... For his base, a battle with the media is wonderful. It’s almost as good as actual policy change because it makes -- it confirms their world view. It confirms their view of what’s wrong with the country and its terrific politics.

Deep state in deep trouble
You'd think the establishment and permanent governing class would do their best work in private - away from the eyes of voters.
President Trump has brought the Deep State out into the open.
Those who work in the shadows might not like being exposed to the light of attention.
If you care about liberty, there's really only one side here. In the fight between Donald Trump and the Deep State, I'm for Trump one hundred percent. Unconstrained bureaucrats, rogue spies, and their media fellow travelers — I hope he defeats them all.

Trump's fireside chats
President Trump went to Florida to have a rally in Melbourne tonight.
Watch the liberals and his opponents be upset - it's not presidential.
But it's his way to communicate to the people.
The news networks have to cover it.
He gets his word out to people who want to believe in him.
He just brought up a guy who had been in line since 4 a.m., and appeared on some TV interviews.
You have to have a heart of stone not to love his interactions with ordinary people.

Imagine there's no HuffPo
Scott Adams points out the problem faced by Huffington Post - how to deal with President Trump after mocking candidate Trump?
You might recall that the Huffington Post made a big deal of refusing to cover Trump on their political pages when he first announced his candidacy. They only carried him on their entertainment pages because they were so smart they knew he could not win.
Then he won.
When reality violates your ego that rudely, you either have to rewrite the movie in your head to recast yourself as an idiot, or you rewrite the movie to make yourself the hero who could see what others missed. Apparently the Huffington Post chose to rewrite their movie so Trump is a deranged monster, just like they warned us.

Old King Coal
President Trump took less than a month to undo regulations the Obama administration took 95 months to put together.
Congress utilized the Congressional Review Act to pass the joint resolution on Feb. 2. The joint resolution nullifies the Stream Protection Rule, which included new additional job-killing, unpopular, and costly regulations for the coal mining and coal mining related industries, U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith, R-Va. said after the president signed the resolution.
"I was excited to attend the signing of H.J. Res. 38 and support the president as he begins to bring relief to the coal mining industry. This rule would have had devastating effects on Southwest Virginia and I am glad my efforts to prevent these new regulations, along with my fellow congressmen, paid off," Griffith said. "I am proud to represent Southwest Virginia, particularly today, as President Trump signs the resolution.”
Coal is not dead yet.

This rule would have had devastating effects on Southwest Virginia and I am glad my efforts to prevent these new regulations, along with my fellow congressmen, paid off," Griffith said. "I am proud to represent Southwest Virginia, particularly today, as President Trump signs the resolution.”
Coal is not dead yet.

President Trump won't continue an Obama tradition - picking an NCAA bracket.
Guess he's too busy running the country.

Wasted opportunity
New Republic has a lengthy article on the lost opportunity of Democrats from 2008 - failing to harness the enthusiasm of President Obama's first victory.
Instead of calling on supporters to launch a voter registration drive or build a network of small donors or back state and local candidates, OFA deployed the campaign’s vast email list to hawk coffee mugs and generate thank-you notes to Democratic members of Congress who backed Obama’s initiatives. As a result, when the political going got rough, much of Obama’s once-mighty army was AWOL. When the fight over Obama’s health care plan was at its peak, OFA was able to drum up only 300,000 phone calls to Congress.
And don't forget all the emails reminding you about birthdays.
Trump and friends thank the Democrats for making this mistake.

Blowing smoke
As a teenager, I worked one night a week at the local bingo hall.
Four hours in a room with hundreds of smokers, puffing away while trying to win.
I'm still here.
Maybe second-hand smoke isn't the killer it's been made out to be.

They can mail their decision in
While the Supreme Court stands at eight members, conservatives basically know how things will go.
Democratic appointees will vote in block one way.
No matter how bad the lower court ruling is.
Republican appointees may stick together, or may not.

Can the NFL bounce back?
The Super Bowl caps a season where the NFL saw its ratings drop after years of increases.
What next?
The bottom line is that people are getting used to the type of experience offered by streaming services, and the NFL will have to evolve to compete.
"Up until now, the NFL was a juggernaut, steadily growing in popularity, but this year's audience declines and the palpable deterioration in fan interest in the NFL ... should give the NFL and its TV network partners serious pause," the UBS analysts wrote. "With audiences increasingly impatient and distractions only a digital device away, we would suggest that making the NFL games more engaging is crucial."

Time for a new Pepsi commercial
Pepsi had a series of commercials this football season with ordinary people finding success, and thinking it's how their favorite player feels.
After the Super Bowl, I have a new idea.
When Roger Goddell gave the trophy to Robert Kraft, he could have been thinking "now I know how Hillary Clinton felt when she conceded to Donald Trump."

Are the ads worth it?
Bloomberg looks at why advertisers flock to the Super Bowl, despite the cost.
Perhaps the Super Bowl is best understood as the world’s most expensive debutante ball for new cultural products. On the one hand, the big soda, beer, and snack regulars spend millions each year in the hope that they can win about 24 hours of goodwill. But there’s not much evidence that those ads do much in the long run. Sunday evening’s blockbuster event matters most for the companies and products you’ve never heard of Sunday morning.
I got you under my skin
Althouse does a lengthy analysis of the term "thin-skinned" and how President Trump should react.
Ignore seems to be a good idea.
By the way, wasn't that Hillary Clinton's plan for the debates — "get under Trump's skin"? Wasn't there an old idea way back then that Trump was "thin-skinned"* and could be defeated by getting under his skin? He'd self-destruct? That's how I've packaged my memories of how everybody who tried failed to keep Trump from winning.

"I don't care what they want at this point"
Good job, Orrin Hatch.
Don Surber approves.
Cheered on by a complacently liberal media, Democrats boycotted the meeting, in an effort to avoid confirmation. Committee rules require at least one Democrat be present before a vote occurs.
Hatch had his committee waive the rule.
"This is all approved by the Parliamentarian," Hatch said. "I wouldn't have done it if it hadn't been."
