SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: 

WELL, IT'S A LITTLE RELIEF – FROM PAGE SIX:    Get ready for a kinder, gentler Golden Globes now the king of cringe Ricky Gervais has retired his hosting role: Tina Fey says she and co-host Amy Poehler won’t get political.  Fey told Jill Rappaport on her “Rappaport to the Rescue” podcast, “We just want to make it a fun hang out for people at home — kind of a stress reliever, so I don’t think you can expect much politics at all. “  She added, “It doesn’t seem like a venue for political jokes.”  And when asked what she will wear for the big night, Fey reminisced about her last time co-hosting with Poehler in 2015, “It’s been five years and the places we would go, Jill — couture houses, we would meet with the designers, there were muslins, mock-ups, and the jewels!  “Now it’s … like ‘Nordstrom Rack, what do ya got?’”  No politics?  Maybe I'll even tune in for 30 seconds.

WELCOME TO THE SOVIET UNION – FROM DAILYWIRE:  A New York university has suspended an education student from mandatory teaching programs for posting Instagram videos expressing conservative ideology.  State University of New York (SUNY) Geneseo sent an email to education student Owen Stevens placing him on suspension from his field teaching programs after his peers uncovered videos of him preaching conservative dogma. The school claims that Steven’s videos “call into question” his ability to “maintain a classroom environment protecting the mental and emotional well-being of all of [his] students.”  According to a copy of Steven’s suspension obtained by The Daily Wire, the education student will remain suspended from participating in in-school field experiences and courses that have field experiences until he completes a “remediation plan.” The remediation plan includes taking down his Instagram videos, toning down his social media presence, and attending school-sanctioned training.  Stevens told The Daily Wire he refuses to take part in “re-education” training.  This is happening all over.  You won't see it on CNN.
