WELL, BYE: Pressure on Starmer Mounts as Dozens of Labour Lawmakers Call on Him to Quit.
Personally, I want Labour out, not just Starmer.
MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: How Trump’s ‘anaconda’ tactics put the squeeze on Iran and China.
And the Democrats.
OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.
IT’S ALWAYS IN THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK: Black holes slamming into scorching stars may be causing mysterious blue flashes in the cosmos.
STUDENT LOANS: A MULTIGENERATIONAL TRAP. The sooner we freeze the increases on all of them forever, the better off we’ll be.
HOW IT STARTED:
HOW IT’S GOING:
I’m all for free speech an all, but I have zero sympathy for a group that calls for their university to go after a student group, and then gets mad when the university goes after them instead. Just desserts, it seems to me.

UNEXPECTEDLY: Democrats ask the Supreme Court to halt a Virginia ruling blocking new congressional districts.
I expect SCOTUS to tell them to pound sand, but you never know.
FINALLY: A real WKRP radio comes to Cincinnati, decades after the sitcom about a fictional station.
CINCINNATI (AP) — WKRP isn’t dead — as of Monday, it’s living on the air in Cincinnati.
The call letters from the fictional radio station featured in a CBS sitcom were adopted by a trio of real “adult hits” stations in time for Monday’s morning drive, and co-owner Jeff Ziesmann described listeners as “stoked.”
“Our phones have been mobbed this morning, as I’m sure you can imagine,” Ziesmann said.
Three stations in Cincinnati, northern Kentucky and Dayton, Ohio, simulcast the station’s programming and listeners are now hearing them all identified as WKRP. They will continue to follow the format — music from the ‘60s to the ’80s, with an emphasis on the 1970s — they’ve had under “The Oasis” brand.
The owners obtained the call letters by making a donation to a North Carolina nonprofit whose low-power radio station had them since 2014. Ziesmann said a full-power station like his can use the same call letters because WKRP-LP in Raleigh is considered a separate class of station under federal regulations.
What sorts of promotions will they be running on Thanksgiving?
IT’S NEVER OVER:
PSA: Now that the Virginia plan has failed, keep in mind the last time Democrats were equipped with so few options they leveraged their access to the FBI and CIA to manufacture a false Russian conspiracy to try to unseat a President. So buckle up…

XI’S GOTTA HAVE IT! Arcadia CA mayor Eileen Wang admits acting as foreign agent for China in plea deal.
The mayor of Arcadia admitted to acting as an illegal foreign agent of China in a federal plea deal unsealed on Monday.
Eileen Wang agreed with prosecutors that she worked with the People’s Republic of China to boost propaganda with a fake news website on US soil between 2020 and 2022. She was elected to Arcadia City Council in November 2022. The city is within LA County.
LA’s top federal prosecutor Bill Essayli said this is not the first time China has been caught trying try to exert its influence in the United states.
“Ms. Wang is just the latest to act as an agent for the PRC and it should terrify Americans that she was able to rise to the highest levels of local office in her city,” Essayli said. “I expect her to resign quickly if she hasn’t already.”
As Mark Judge wrote in 2024, Remember those corny anti-communist movies from the 1950s? They were right. “Starting in the 1960s with the rise of the New Left, it became sport for cool people and liberals to mock movies such as I Was a Communist for the FBI or My Son John. The excesses of Sen. Joe McCarthy had made red hunting suspect, even shameful. Yet McCarthy was more often right than wrong. There were communists in the government, and in Hollywood, who wanted to destroy America. In 2024, however, with the far Left not only alive after the collapse of the Soviet Union but thriving in Washington, these films from the 1950s seem prescient — and deadly serious rather than goofy.”
THAT’S THE CHICAGO WAY:
“Acceleration” just means things get worse and worse as the functional parts of the world withdraw or route around. There’s not a certain point at which “people finally come to their senses.”
The people creating these conditions are more than happy to be kings of ash heaps. https://t.co/xLJnw7SB7e

CHANGE:
Men are actually more likely to "sexually expire" in the eyes of their wives than vice versa.
Only 20% of women still want to have sex often once a relationship hits the 90-month mark, whereas men's desire for intimacy remains remarkably stable over time. pic.twitter.com/VHUxOgCDMI

QUESTION ASKED: If you want to sum up the European immigration crisis in one question, this is how to do it. “Sometimes, someone comes along and just casually reframes an entire bitter, long-running debate in just a handful of words. Like this:”
A local resident stands up and asks the obvious question: “How do you plan to meet the sexual needs of 600 men?”

DON’T GET COCKY: Um… Did the GOP Just Win the Midterms?
ALEX BERENSON: A huge win in Berenson v Biden.
Today, the Trump Administration and I settled the federal government’s role in Berenson v Biden, my lawsuit against Biden Administration and Pfizer officials for violating my Constitutional rights and forcing Twitter to ban me in summer 2021.
After three hard-fought years, this settlement marks a massive win in my fight to hold the government and Pfizer accountable for their conspiracy to silence me. I could not have done it without your support. (Or Elon Musk’s.)
The agreement includes a six-figure payment and a statement “the Government did in fact violate the First Amendment by exerting substantial coercive pressure on social media companies such as Twitter to suppress disfavored speech like Plaintiff’s.”
James Lawrence, my (very able) lawyer, and I believe this settlement marks the first time any individual American has received a cash payment to resolve a lawsuit over government coercion of social media companies.
More importantly, the government’s admission may prove crucial as my suit moves ahead against its remaining defendants, Pfizer board member Dr. Scott Gottlieb and chairman Dr. Albert Bourla.
Read the whole thing.

PASSING TUCKER OFF AS A CON TO OWN THE CONS:
another Tucker segment on SNL & another careful avoidance of *any* of the topics Tucker currently obsesses over. They even threw in a joke (“the left has finally gotten what they always wanted: the Statue of Liberty in a burka”) that’s the antithesis of his current pro-Islam kick https://t.co/QJZZnSusvY
