Carryovers

Some odds and ends to usher in 2016:

1. A Houston mosque burned and the media was all over Trump for all but lighting the match. The rest of the story?

"Using surveillance video from other area businesses to identify the arsonist, Gary Nathaniel Moore, 37, was arrested and charged with starting the Christmas Day fire that devastated a Houston, Texas mosque. Moore is a devout Muslim who attended this same mosque for years, praying up to five times a day every day of the week."


2. Did anyone else notice that Oregon is now going to automatically register to vote anyone who gets a driver's license? Remember that when the powers-that-be were pushing giving illegal immigrants the right to get driver's licenses (which Oregonians somewhat surprisingly rejected) it was promised that would never - no never - lead to them getting the right to do other things, like say vote. Thank you fellow Oregonians for tubing this scam. 

3. The Iranians, our good faith nuclear agreement partners per John Kerry, dropped a rocket with no warhead launched from one of its patrol boats just 1,500 yards away from one of our carriers as it transited the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. Sure, no problem shooting at an American aircraft carrier in an area where it cannot maneuver. A run-up to practice the real thing?

4. The President told NPR that he didn't realize that the public was so riled up about terrorism, which is probably true since he attends something less than half of his daily intelligence briefings.

Should be an interesting year.
