One tweet and some quotes

Tom Fitton tweeted,
We know Ilhan Omar wants to dismantle America and supports a terrorist front group -- but the question is should she should get a pass from feds despite evidence of immigration, tax, fraud and election finance crimes? Where are the FBI, DOJ, IRS, etc.?

The following quotes are from an article in the December 23, 2019 New Yorker in an article by Peter Schjeldahl.
"Advice to aspiring youth: in New York the years that you spend as a nobody are painful but golden because no one bothers to lie to you. The moment you're a somebody, you have heard your last truth."

"Disbelieving is toilsome. It can be a pleasure for adolescent brains with energy to spare, but hanging on to it later saps and rigidifies. After a Lutheran upbringing, I became an atheist at the onset of puberty. That wore off gradually and then, with sobriety, speedily."

Note to anyone who knows an active alcoholic: never, ever sympathize. If you suspect you are going to, shut your eyes, plug your ears, and hum."

"A thing about dying is that you can't consult anyone who has done it. No rehearsals. No mulligans."
