WARREN FARRELL: Trump won because Democrats keep telling young men they’re dangerous and don’t matter.
I recall interviewing a young man from Mill Valley, California, a city with deep Democratic Party ties. As the interview concluded, he broke down, “I wish I hadn’t been born male.”
I knew why: He had already shared: “In public schools and even in the private all-male school I attend, all we hear is ‘The future is female.’ That doesn’t inspire me for my future. As for masculinity, it’s ‘toxic masculinity.’ Then we are told we’re part of the patriarchy that makes rules to benefit men at the expense of women. The conclusion is that ‘Men are the oppressors; women are the oppressed.’ I can’t help being who I am.” When I asked him who he talks with about this, he said, “My guy friends. They feel the same. But I’d never tell my girlfriend. She’s a feminist. She’d break up with me.”
On a spring break, I encountered seven guys reuniting at Starbucks. Though attending different colleges, they all nodded as one guy complained, “If I take a sexual initiative too quickly, I’m labeled a sexual harasser. But if I ask permission to hold her hand, she looks at me like I’m a wimp.” One concurred, “I feel ‘Damned if I do; damned if I don’t. … if they’re so into equality, why don’t they take the sexual initiatives and risk the rejection?”
Once they felt comfortable, stories poured out. One recalled, “My best friend and a girl both got drunk at a fraternity party. They had consensual sex, but she had a boyfriend who found out, and she accused my friend of date rape ‘because she was drunk.’ Well, he was drunk too! A committee heard the case, but he couldn’t even cross-examine her. He was expelled, his record tainted for life.” Their voices dropped. “It’s all #MeToo for women and #ShutUp for men.” One concluded, “College is a dangerous place for men.”
Plus: “Among working men, the feeling of having ‘the cards stacked against me’ is directed at human resources. ‘If I tease a man, no problem; if I tease a woman, I’ll be reported to HR. HR doesn’t ‘get it’ that guys tease people we respect, so if I only tease guys I’m really discriminating against women.’ In essence, they feel that HR is actually HeR.”
Yep. Helen’s interviewing men for her next book and hearing similar things. But now they’re fighting back.
And the tyranny of HR is itself a product of federal government policy.

OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.
WATCH: Token Republican Scott Jennings Makes CNN Watchable Again.
Jennings was a lonely voice of reason earlier this year, when journalists were still insisting President Joe Biden was fit to serve another four years in office. He slammed Democrats for suggesting that, behind the scenes, they’d seen Biden “do cartwheels and handstands while doing trigonometry while solving all the nation’s problems,” even though “nobody believes that” and most Americans could see that the president “could barely walk up the stairs.” He compared Biden to Colonel Sanders: “His face is on the bucket, he doesn’t make the chicken anymore; in fact, he’s not even alive anymore.”
* * * * * * * *
The Democratic Party’s condescending attitude was a serious problem, Jennings argued. (It was.) He observed that “a lot of men think Democrats care more about dudes who want to become women than dudes who just want to be dudes.”
Jennings deserves enormous credit for making CNN (almost) watchable again. Apart from Donald Trump, he is the best thing that ever happened to the liberal network.
He’s certainly gotten CNN back onto Twitter thanks to his highly clipable soundbites and absolutely unruffled demeanor, and will likely soon host his own show somewhere. But I’m not sure if boosting CNN’s presence on Twitter actually translates into better television rating for the beleaguered news opinion network.

MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING THE TRUMP DOJ COULD LOOK INTO:
The endorsements were as fake as the candidate.
But as a legal matter, how are secret bought-and-paid-for endorsements even legal? If you can’t run a paid ad without a clear disclosure, how on earth can you run a paid endorsement without disclosure? https://t.co/J92bjYUgrJ

BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: Chris Wallace to Leave CNN.
CNN anchor Chris Wallace announced on Monday that he would leave the network at the end of his contract, citing the growing influence of podcasters such as Joe Rogan and Charlamagne tha God.
Wallace – who joined CNN in January 2022 after nearly 20 years at Fox News – told the Daily Beast he would leave the network at the end of his three-year contract in favor of independent broadcasting.
Describing podcasts and streaming platforms as “where the action seems to be,” Wallace pointed to Rogan and Charlamagne’s influence during the 2024 election, before adding, “I don’t flatter myself to think I will have that sort of reach.”
That’s probably very wise.
Back in December of 2021, when Wallace left Fox News for the soon to be stillborn CNN+ platform, Glenn quoted an Insta-reader who quipped, “Chris Wallace announces he is leaving Fox News to pursue his dream of being viewed by far fewer people.”
To paraphrase legendary rock manager Ian Faith, his appeal may become even more selective post-CNN.
MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: FEMA outrage reveals weaponized government — and points Trump toward reform. “One of President-elect Donald Trump’s first orders of business must be to de-weaponize the federal government. One episode from Florida illustrates why. Not long ago you might have charged me with paranoid conspiracy theorizing if I had told you that federal disaster relief workers were deliberately keeping Trump supporters from receiving government assistance. But they were, and a FEMA supervisor has been fired for it.”

I AM ALL THERE FOR THE CATFIGHTS.
@dailymail Jill Biden, eyes hidden behind sunglasses, looked stoic as she sat next to Kamala Harris at Arlington National Cemetery for a Veterans Day ceremony. The first lady stared straight ahead as Kamala Harris leaned into husband Doug Emhoff, who sat on her other side. There have long been reports there is no love lost between Jill Biden and Harris, a feud tracing back to the 2020 Democratic primary when Harris attacked Joe Biden during the first primary debate. The first lady, however, did campaign repeatedly for Harris after President Biden was pushed out of the presidential race. But now the votes have been tallied and the results show Harris lost to Donald Trump in a landslide, leaving the Harris camp and Biden allies to blame the other for the Democrats’ defeat.

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, to hear the catty backbiting of their women. . . .
It’s not Conan, but it will do.
CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE: The Progressive Movement Is Finished.
Did he arrest his political enemies? No. Did he vilify half the country as “existential threats” to democracy? No. Did he weaponize agencies of the U.S. government against its citizens? No. In fact, many say that he was too lenient with spreaders of election denialism, like Hillary Clinton.
The Biden-Harris administration did all of those, plus they spiked inflation and opened the U.S. border, allowing everyone in the world to enter at taxpayer expense. Then they insisted it was either not happening, or if it was happening, it was Trump’s fault.
Much of the Democrat leadership and just about all of the legacy media don’t understand everyone’s desire, Republicans and Democrats alike, to enjoy a higher quality of life. Nobody wants more rules, more restrictions, more censorship, less wealth, less security, and fewer choices in life.
All of the legitimate concerns Democrat voters have over the massive influx of illegal migrants in their communities, the weakening of law enforcement, the tolerance of social disorder, the illogical push toward racial and gender preferences in all walks of life, and the war waged on oil and natural gas in the name of “climate change” have been tossed to the side by Democrat leaders. And these voters are fed up.
Just because the Democrats and legacy media push narratives to support their Progressive values and force-feed them down the throats of the public does not mean voters are going to comply. They’re now finding this out in real time.
As mentioned, it was a wild ride for the past twenty-plus years. Harris has gone down in flames. Let’s hope that the Progressive movement goes with her.
They’re not planning to, at least for now: Progressive Democrats push to take over party leadership.
Progressive Democrats are pushing to take over the party leadership as in-fighting breaks out following Kamala Harris’s election defeat.
Left-wingers are hoping to install Ben Wikler, the Wisconsin Democratic chairman, to take over the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and swing it away from the current centrist leadership ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Pramila Jayapal, who leads the Democrats’ progressive faction in Congress, has said she would “love to see somebody” who is “like a Ben Wikler”, Politico reports.
Her intervention may mean Left-wing Democrats swing behind Mr Wikler, who is seen as an effective fundraiser and has been credited with reviving his party’s fortunes in Wisconsin, if he launches a bid for the position.
It comes as Democrats battle over how to rebuild their party following Donald Trump’s election victory on Tuesday night.
Different factions of the party are openly feuding with each other in the aftermath of Ms Harris’s defeat, amid claims that the vice-president failed to appeal to working-class voters.
Bernie Sanders, the veteran Vermont senator, has argued that the next Democratic campaign should be based on a more Left-wing economic message.
Real Bidenomics has never been tried!

UPDATE (From Ed): Still Fuming from Harris Endorsement Drama, Washington Post Gives Readers Advice on How to Flee the Country.
UNEXPECTEDLY! Apple quietly discontinuing flagship $3,500 Vision Pro headset due to lackluster sales.
Apple has made a quiet, tactical retreat from augmented and virtual reality, scaling back production of its $3,500 Vision Pro headset.
One employee at Chinese manufacturer Luxshare — which is under contract to perform the final assembly for Vision Pro — revealed that the tech giant informed them that manufacturing of the product may need to ‘wind down’ by November’s end.
Luxshare, according to this source, has already cut assembly rates in half: putting together about 1,000 Vision Pro units/day, down from a high of 2,000 units/day.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, however, has put on a brave face, saying that the $3,500 AR-goggles simply are ‘not a mass-market product.’
‘Right now, it’s an early-adopter product,’ Cook said late last month, in a sprawling interview.
‘People who want to have tomorrow’s technology today—that’s who it’s for. Fortunately, there’s enough people who are in that camp that it’s exciting.’
In fact, industry analysts at Counterpoint Research estimate that Apple only sold around 370,000 of its Vision Pro headsets in the first three quarters of 2024, figures dwarfed by the millions of cheaper Quest headsets sold by its rival Meta.
And with the holiday season fast approaching, their analysts see no signs of improvement, predicting only 50,000 or so more Vision Pro’s will be sold this year.
Based on my initial take on the product, and, much like Google glasses before them, how uncool they made a wearer look, I can’t say I’m at all shocked by this news.
