The Week In Pictures

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally got the chicken entrails that she needed to see, and has transmitted the yellowing and brittle articles of impeachment to the Senate, following which the stock market soared even higher, proving yet again that gridlock is the next best thing to constitutional government. Good times! Meanwhile, the Democrats hosted the world’s most boring presidential debate ever. See, this is what happens when you toss out

The most formidable enemy of the American people suffered a grievous and shocking blow a week ago, and the enemy did not react well to the attack. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth, rending of garments, and fanatical chants of “death to middle America!” There is great fear and panic about potential retaliation. But the outrageous, dangerous and unstable man who launched this reckless and unprovoked attack—Ricky Gervais—returned safely

Arriving too late for inclusion in The Week In Pictures today, these contributions from Power Line readers are also worth a look. The one below comes with this message: “I was inspired to create the following in the wee, high-caffeine hours of this morning after reading some PL pieces on ol’ DRT Soleimani. I thought you and your readers might enjoy it as much as my husband did over breakfast.

Well 2020 is certainly off to a fast start, and liberals are already falling behind. Impeachment? What impeachment? It had already disappeared from the news even before Trump demonstrated that he’s no Barack Obama or Jimmy Carter when it comes to dealing with Iran. It’s almost like Trump is a Texas church-goer or something. Headlines of the week: And finally. . .

Happy new year! And have a Trumptastic 2020. It really isn’t possible to do a “greatest hits” highlight reel from the Week in Pictures, so here are one or two from the year, and some previews of the year ahead. Meanwhile, for anyone lounging around at noon Pacific time waiting for the nowadays meaningless college bowl games to start (because the stupid BCS has ruined new year’s day football), I

Let us, in the spirit of the long holiday season, celebrate the gifts that keep on giving. (And GIFing, perhaps, too.) Like Saint Greta of Thunberg, who is surely good copy for a few more months until CNN discovers the next Michael Avenatti (though note in the headline section below the related stories of CNN ratings and the closing of the pretentious, precious Newseum). And Nancy Pelosi’s Hole in the

Alright, alright, I give in. I wasn’t going to post a special gallery today, but I’ve been bombarded with notes wondering why not. And we’re all about fan service at Power Line these days! So herewith a special Christmas Day gallery: And finally. . . Actually, how about a ghost pic, exposing Santa’s hypocrisy about the whole “naughty and nice” thing. . .

Since we learned recently that all you need to be an avant garde artist in good standing these days is a banana and six inches of duct tape, it is fitting that Fielding Mellish’s classic quote from “Bananas” is the perfect description of the impeachment farce this week: “I object, your honor! This trial is a travesty. It’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of

Impeachment is finally here! Fan service for The Resistance, which is nearly as big a fantasy as a certain movie coming out shortly that features a thinly-disguised equivalent. Except that Obi Wan Trump is the person who actually wields The Force. And his padawan, Boris Johnson. Not even St. Greta of Thunberg, playing the Daisy Ridley role on the nightly network news version, can stand up to Trump. Anyone recall

As we learned last week, the ever resourceful British deployed a narwhal whale tusk to dispatch a terrorist, and now I want one too! But I suspect before long, Michael Bloomberg and other Democrats will be calling for “common sense” narwhal tusk control, and you can’t really blame them, can you? Just imagine what Joe Biden would have done if he’d had one handy in Iowa this week. No doubt

If you’re still suffering a post-Thanksgiving food coma, take heart. Tryptophan is going to be banned by the FDA—an indirect way of outlawing turkeys, and Thanksgiving itself, since naturally Thanksgiving is a hatefest according to the left. On the other hand, these extreme measures won’t be able to disguise the massive turkeys running the Democratic Party at the moment. Talk about flightless birds! Headlines of the week: And

The turkey and leftovers will be cold or eaten by Saturday, so why not a special edition? And the Cowboys better win today or Jerry Jones will declare his head coach to be a turkey and won’t bother with a pardon. And finally. . .

When you hear the phrase, “investigation into ties with a natural gas producer,” are we talking about Hunter Biden and Burisma, or are we talking about Rep. Eric Swalwell on MSNBC? It is hard to tell them apart. Democrats and their media toadies really ought to be more careful about throwing around the term “bombshell” in connection with their Ahab-like “investigation.” Headlines of the week: And finally. . .

Hey, have you heard that Jeffery Epstein didn’t kill himself? I hear that too. That ought to be good enough to convict someone. Hillary maybe. If hearsay and memes are good enough to impeach the president, why not just go with it and solve the Epstein killing. Headlines of the week: And finally. . .

It is tempting to do a Mid-Week in Pictures special offering today because I have a lot of great material accumulating in my Week in Pictures folder for this Saturday—way more than I will be able to use already. But I don’t want to overdo it. Instead, herewith a post on just two pictures, because each has a good story. First up: As it happens, I once got the opportunity,

I hear the Centers for Disease Control is opening a case file on the sudden onset of Jeffery Epstein “suicide” memes, which appear to be spreading faster than the clap in a 19th century seaside whore house (which whorehouses should not be confused with either Congress, the Clinton Foundation, or Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, though this confusion is quite understandable). I don’t think this is going away any time soon.

It is hard to think of a week more embarrassing to the legacy news media that this week. Never mind the Washington Post‘s self-satirizing headline about the death of “religious scholar” Al-Baghdadi; it seems the New York Times still hasn’t laid off enough of its newsroom, since it took two Times reporters to break the scoop that President Trump indeed appeared in a photoshopped pic with . . . a
