SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

DANGEROUS TALK – FROM RED STATE:  Well, so much for that whole unity thing. Democrats are out for blood, emboldened by the idiotic alt-right fools who rushed the Capitol last week, and they are seemingly going to play every card they have. Impeachment is already being talked about, perhaps even after Biden’s inauguration, in order to ban Trump from ever holding office again. But if that wasn’t dumb enough, Nancy Pelosi is now looking at the 14th Amendment as a way to expel Republican members of the House for supposedly taking part in an “insurrection.”   Do not ignore this.  The Democratic Party, with the full support of institutions like CNN, is going crazy.  They will make a mockery of any talk of national unity, they will ruin Joe Biden's inauguration, just to satisfy their radical base.  Indeed, they will push Biden aside at the first opportunity. 

I GUESS NO ONE NOTICED – FROM THE NEW YORK POST:    A Chicago man who killed three people as he randomly shot eight strangers had posted a series of disturbing videos — in which he vowed to “blow up the whole community.”  Jason Nightengale, 32, appeared to randomly pick out targets Saturday as he shot dead a Chinese exchange student, a female security guard and a 20-year-old customer in a store he robbed, police said at a news briefing.  He also left at least five others critically injured, including elderly women aged 81 and 77 as well as a 15-year-old girl who was shot in the head while with her mother, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said.  His bloodbath lasted almost four hours and stretched over more than 10 miles before he was shot dead in a gun battle with cops after taking a woman hostage at an IHOP in Evanston, police said.  I guess his online posts weren't sufficiently upsetting to attract attention.  After all, we must understand his pain.
