YES IT IS: Obama to Campaign in Michigan for El-Sayed — Because It’s the Next Phase of the Revolution.

KIND OF LIKE WHAT THEIR PRODUCTS DO TO USERS: ‘Your brain literally atrophies’: Tech payouts are leaving people suddenly rich — but also depressed. I dunno, when Uncle Jed came into a lot of money, his kinfolk told him to move to Beverly — Hills, that is — but he seemed cheerful enough and didn’t have any visible self-image problems.

TO BE FAIR THE DREAMED MARS WAS MORE ACCESSIBLE, IF NOT MORE EXCITING:  How the delusions of Percival Lowell deluded generations about Mars.

AS IF ANYONE CARES WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, WE’RE WORKING UP A NICE LITTLE ‘MORAL PANIC’ AND DON’T WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH INCONVENIENT FACTS:  ‘Cornell 7’ frat bro claimed accuser ‘sodomized’ him and that school didn’t care he was sex-assault ‘survivor:’ report.

HURRAH!  OUR NAVY HAS SUCCESSFULLY EMPLOYED NUCLEAR POWER FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS, WHY CAN’T OUR CIVILIANS?  Energy Department Announces Huge Initiative to Boost Nuclear Power in PA and Ohio.

I STILL SAY TRUMP OUGHT JUST AGREE WITH DEMS ON COURT EXPANSION AND IMMEDIATELY NAME FOUR NEW JUSTICES TO THE COURT:   Left-Wing Lawyer Marc Elias Wants to Pack SCOTUS So It’s ‘Better.’ Here’s What He Really Means.

THEY’RE AWFL, OF COURSE THEIR TAKE IS BIZARRE:  Latest White Female Liberal Trend on the Cornell 7 Story Is Bizarre.

Ladies, you don’t know s**t about the case, just like you didn’t know anything about Clancy. Also, discussing a brutal, violent crime among those who play and make clay snakes is weird. Kids can’t process this; they don’t know what it is, and they’re repeating what you say. We’ve all been kids before, you idiot women.

DO THEY NOW? THAT’S INTERESTING! WHAT RESEARCH WERE THEY DOING WITH YERSINIA PESTIS?  Russia Walks Back Plague Claims After Siberian Lab Employee’s Death.

Honestly, sometimes I think we’re lucky our adversaries are so scientifically incompetent. If they haven’t yet managed to propagate a deadly virus within our borders, it’s lack of competence, not lack of malice.

YOU CAN TRUST THE LEFT AS FAR AS YOU CAN THROW THEM:  Ah yes, those professional Special Agents and trustworthy lawyers and bureaucrats.

I do recommend throwing them a really good distance.

IF YOU NEED A REMINDER OF HOW BAD THINGS GOT AND CAN GET AGAIN:  ‘Anti-MAGA Task Force’: DOJ Attorneys Warned Against Garland Memo Targeting Parents.

OVER THE FIVE PLUS DECADES I’VE BEEN CONSCIOUS OF POLITICS, I’VE COME TO BELIEVE THE PRIME CHARACTERISTIC NEEDED TO BE A LEFTIST IS TO HAVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR ABLATED AT BIRTH:  Humour and the British Green Party.

THIS NEEDS TO BE SLAPPED DOWN HARD:  When you’re legally targeting a company for a small slogan on the box, this ceases to be a 2nd Amendment issue and becomes a 1st. But California isn’t new to this. They’re suing companies for making stickers about 3D printing. They’re going after parts kit retailers. They just passed a law forcing all 3D printers to include “gun blocking” technology that doesn’t exist yet. Once it does, every machine without it will be banned.

IT APPEARS THE DEMOCRATS LIED ON THIS. I’M SO SHOCKED!  Yes, Somali Immigrants Commit More Crime Than Natives. Widespread statistics use a misleading comparison; apples-to-apples shows a two- to fivefold difference.

BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS OPENED THE BORDERS TO ALLOW FOREIGN GANGS IN: This helps hide their general graft and corruption.  Why does an American state have Somali gangs?

THE RUDENESS AND CRUDENESS THAT PEOPLE SEE IN TRUMP IS JUST THE RETURN OF THE REPRESSED:  If you make things unspeakable, you give massive power to those willing to vocalize them.  When The Frogs Come Up.

THINGS CAN GET MASSIVELY WORSE:  Don’t Make This a ‘Mid’ Midterm. In the interest of not losing these upcoming midterms, let’s review some key issues that should decide the matter and dispense with the current loser talk.

It’s almost unbelievable how much worse they were just three years ago, from my personal POV. But rightly or wrongly I feel like we need eight years of victories (at least) and a complete restructuring of the Democrats just so some of us mouthy people don’t end up with bullets in the back of the skull.

HAHA, WINNER INDEED.

UPDATE (From Ed):

Elon nailed the double standard.

If we shipped 100,000 Americans to Greenland, elected an American prime minister, and voted the place into the U.S., the left would lose their minds. Do that to Europe through mass immigration and they call it progress.

Same playbook here.… pic.twitter.com/hynfOpbVft

JUST DO IT: President Trump Approves Execution of Fort Hood Mass Murderer Nidal Hassan. “Hasan — who laughably acted as his own attorney — was tried and found guilty in 2013 and sentenced to death. Now, finally, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has requested permission and President Trump has approved the execution of the useless oxygen thief who’s been needlessly living at taxpayer expense for the last 17 years.”

UPDATE (From Ed):

The execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad will take place at Fort Hood, Texas on Thursday, December 3rd, 2026, at 1 p.m. CT. pic.twitter.com/re7BpqkSN4

OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.

AN EARTH-SHATTERING KABOOM: A hidden asteroid crater under Oklahoma could be connected to one of Earth’s major mass extinctions.

REPORTS ABOUT TAKING OUT LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED.

It’s four weeks until Election Day and Donald Trump is doing his utmost to dig Republicans out of their polling hole. In theory, anyway. Trump has been rallying through red states – Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas – to try and secure existing Senate seats. But today’s Democratic pile-on concerns a throwaway comment he made last night in Nebraska. Mid-weave, of course.

The President said: “It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They could take out a city… ‘let ’em, let ’em take Los Angeles, let ’em take out San Diego, that’s…’ this is a very small price to pay… and it’s gonna be over with very soon, it’s essentially almost over with.”

Now anybody who has followed Donald Trump, even passingly, in the last ten years, should be able to discern what he was getting at here.

He was acknowledging the cost of the Iran war, and attempting to justify his decision to start the now seven-month-long conflict.

The clips now going viral on X paraphrase Trump differently. “Trump on Iran: Let ’em take out Los Angeles and San Diego, it’s a small price to pay,” reads the caption of a tweet from “Headquarters,” an account that was previously “@KamalaHQ,” run by the Harris campaign’s rapid response team. The ensuing reaction from the media, and Trump’s opponents, is just as disingenuous. “Trump suggests letting Iran ‘take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign rally,” reads the Los Angeles Times headline. “After sending the National Guard and Marines to occupy California, Donald Trump is now saying our foreign enemies should ‘take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego,” tweeted Governor Gavin Newsom last night. “He is deranged and dangerous.”

Wait, isn’t Karen Bass doing a good enough job of nuking LA already, without bringing in the Iranians?
