SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET:

SO NOW WE KNOW – FROM BIZPACREVIEW:   Barbra Streisand insulted millions of women who voted for President Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, suggesting that they couldn’t think for themselves.
“I love my country,” Streisand told The Daily Mail. “And it’s painful to see democracy being assaulted, institutions being assaulted and women being assaulted.”  In a show of how the left never strays far from the reservation, she then regurgitated Hillary Clinton’s talking point earlier this year about how Republican women vote to please their husbands.  “A lot of women vote the way their husbands vote; they don’t believe enough in their own thoughts. Maybe that woman who’s so articulate, so experienced and so fit for the presidency was too intimidating,” Streisand said, referencing Clinton’s failed run in 2016.  Rabidly anti-Trump, the 76-year-old iconic recording artist targeted the president in a song on her latest album.  She should stick to singing.  She's a classic New York liberal, absolutely intolerant, and thoroughly believing in her own wonderfulness.

THE CHILD SPEAKS AGAIN – FROM THE NEW YORK POST:  Sen. Lindsey Graham slammed newly elected New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for comparing Central American asylum seekers in the migrant caravan to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany during WWII.  “I recommend she take a tour of the Holocaust Museum in DC,” Graham, a Republican from South Carolina tweeted Monday. “Might help her better understand the differences between the Holocaust and the caravan in Tijuana.”  Graham was responding to a tweet sent by Ocasio-Cortez, in which she compared previous refugee groups — including Jews during WWII — to the current migrants fleeing Central America.  The child – we call her little Evita from the Bronx – is already tiresome, and she hasn't even been sworn in yet as a congresswoman.  If the Democrats were smart – a dubious proposition – they'd put her on the back bench and zip her lip.

THE HEAD OF THE MOST POLITICALLY CORRECT STATE PARTY IN THE COUNTRY APPARENTLY HAS A BIT OF A PROBLEM – FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER:  The California Democratic Party announced Monday that chairman Eric Bauman will take a leave of absence until an outside investigation concludes examining allegations of sexual misconduct against him.  The decision was made after Bauman used the “the holiday weekend to consider the most constructive path forward for the work of the California Democratic Party,” according to California Democratic Party spokesperson Mike Roth.  "Chair Bauman believes this decision is the best way to ensure the independence and integrity of the process," Roth said in a statement. "The Party is confident that the procedures in place will allow for all parties to come forward freely and provide for a thorough and complete review."  The second-vice chair of the California Democratic Party Daraka Larimore-Hall sent a letter to the party last week claiming that Bauman “sexually harassed, and in some cases sexually assaulted, individuals during Party functions,” but did not share specific details.  Does Bauman have to present himself for execution? I guess so.  Maybe hard labor would correct him.  You just watch the political correctness emerge from this case.
