3... 2... 1... on how this all comes back, somehow, to Trump.

All of a sudden Mueller and Schiff will be looking at how Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany got into college.

Watch.

My favorite Hallmark Christmas movie is where the girl meets the guy in some weird way. Looks like there’s conflict that can’t be resolved. Lots of Christmas decorations, expensive ones, too.

Usually the woman has some dialogue with a sibling, a parent or a trusted friend.

It all works out and they have a Merry Christmas.

Wait a second, that’s EVERY Hallmark Christmas movie.

(well, there could be worse on television and there always is)

Well then it's a good thing I did not bet the farm on "Thieving Iroquois Bastards".

If your father was a plumber, and your mother a housewife, does that mean that someone whose parents both have degrees from Princeton is automatically brighter?

No, of course it has nothing directly to do with occupation or degrees. But there is a genetic component to intelligence. If the parents are definitely both very smart people, there is a higher chance that their child will be bright than if the parents are just two random people.

I have never heard anything about Clinton's SAT scores, but there is no question he is very smart even though he may be morally lacking. People who have known him agree that he can absorb new information much more quickly than most people. Kenneth Starr himself said he wished he was as smart as Clinton.

In a place like Princeton there are people with more average intelligence and some who are among the smartest people that exist. If someone has two parents from the latter group, they could turn out to be an idiot, but it is less likely.

First, the genetics of intelligence are very complex. We don’t even understand the genetics of high blood pressure, let alone intelligence. It’s not like eye color, hair color, or blood type. The correlation is essentially non-existent. Ability in specific areas of thought likely involves many genes, and polygenic traits can skip many generations.

Second, Bill Clinton is not a very impressive intellect, similar to most politicians.

Third, Princeton’s most famous son, Einstein, didn’t go to Princeton, and was a late bloomer. He worked as a third class patent clerk at the Swiss patent office in Bern, but pursued his science in his time away from the job. He could only do this because his science was theoretical and not bench experimentation based - which would have required him to have a lab and funding. Thankfully, he had the opportunity to pursue his interests thinking outside of the box. If he had been part of the general system in science that exists today, his ideas would likely not have been listened to, as he didn’t have the proper pedigree.

The point is that pedigree is an absolute, unequivocal, JOKE, and has been responsible in large measure for much of the suffering in the modern world. Don’t buy into that tripe.

Where the hell was this national news he was in from 88 through to 97?

1990 New York Times: First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review

Obviously anyone going to Harvard Law School at the time would recall that sort of news and know exactly who they were referring to.

Somebody paid for a Harvard degree for Obama is my true belief and has been for a few years.

Something that is your personal belief without any evidence doesn't count for very much. The exact amounts that Obama and his wife had in student loans are a public record. I'm not going to look this up again right now, but I have before.

It's not that surprising that someone who had two parents who were Ph.D. candidates could do pretty well in school. By the way, at least in the first year of Harvard Law, all the classes involve exams where the teacher cannot see the name of the student until after they are graded. Obama graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors.

check out Google. There’s many, many references to a sort of anonymity of Obama when he attended Harvard.

I think you may be getting confused with Columbia where Obama does seem to have had a small circle of acquaintances (which is not uncommon for a transfer student) but is nevertheless remembered by some people. Of course many thousands of people have tried to prove that he didn't even go there, but they have come up with a big nothing after years of effort, and Columbia does not deny that he was a student there.

I remember that one. The queen didn’t like her, the she married the prince once she won her over with her sincerity.

So Rick Singer (presumably a Democratic Donor) set up a Charitable Foundation to launder quid pro quo money through. Wow... wherever did he get that idea??

I stopped watching When Calls the Heart a few years ago - didn’t know they killed Jack. Too bad.

Ironically, Laughlin plays a wholesome next door neighbor type or did anyway.

Lori Loughlin was NOT arrested Tuesday because she's out of town so she's arranged to 'surrender Wednesday' to FBI.. but her husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli was and had to see the judge. His bond was set at $1 million, and he had to put up his primary residence as collateral.

Does either one of these two realize the seriousness of the crime they're charged with?

They’re Democrats, probably. What’s to worry?
