DRIVING ONE OF THE SURVIVING CHRYSLER TURBINE CARS. “There are nine left in the world. Only five run.”

A STEP FORWARD FOR PLANET-SAVING ZERO-CARBON-EMISSIONS ENERGY! TVA’s Watts Bar Unit 2 Achieves Commercial Operation.

Reader Eric McErlain emails:

Some facts about Watts Bar 2:

The 1,150 MWe Watts Bar 2 reactor provides clean electricity for 650,000 homes & businesses.

Watts Bar 2 alone will produce as much electricity as 1/3rd of America’s wind turbines.

A wind farm generating as much power as Watts Bar 2 would require 600-800 square miles of land. Solar would require an area as large as Chattanooga.

With WB2 online, TVA will be able to reduce emissions 60% over 2005 levels in just 4 years.

Along with Watts Bar 1, WB2 will provide nearly 1,000 permanent jobs and generate $470 million in goods and services every year.

Hurray!

GANGSTER GOVERNMENT: Dem Operative Who Oversaw Trump Rally Agitators Visited White House 342 Times. “A key operative in a Democratic scheme to send agitators to cause unrest at Donald Trump’s rallies has visited the White House 342 times since 2009, White House records show. Robert Creamer, who acted as a middle man between the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee and ‘protesters’ who tried — and succeeded — to provoke violence at Trump rallies met with President Obama 47 times, according to White House records. Creamer’s last visit was in June 2016.”

IBD/TIPP TRACKING POLL: Trump Leads Clinton By One Point Going Into Debate. Hmm.

Plus: “By gender, Clinton does much better among women — 47% to 37% — but Trump’s lead among men is just as strong at 47% to 32%. Trump does better among parents (46% to 32%), married women (44% to 41%), lower-class households (53% to 37%), and the religious, among whom Clinton’s support never tops 38%. Among those who express no religion, Clinton handily beats Trump 63% to 16%.”

UPDATE: Rasmussen: “Dead even.”

TROLL LEVEL: SUPREME GALACTIC OVERLORD. Obama’s half-brother will be at Vegas debate cheering for Trump.

President Obama’s Kenya-born half-brother Malik will be in the audience in Las Vegas on Wednesday night when Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton square off in their third and final debate.

Malik — an American citizen who lives in Washington, DC, when he’s not in Kenya — says he will be a guest of Trump, the Republican nominee he supports for president.

“I’m excited to be at the debate. Trump can make America great again,” Malik told The Post.

“I look very much forward to meeting and being with Malik,” Trump said. “He gets it far better than his brother.”

Malik agrees with Trump that the mainstream media is biased, and he dismisses the women who claim Trump kissed or groped them without their permission.

“I don’t believe them,” Malik said. “Why didn’t they come forward before?”

Malik also blasted Clinton’s performance as secretary of state for exacerbating the chaos and violence in the Mideast. Malik said ousted Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy had been a good friend. “Check out the situation in Libya now,” he said.

Well, it’s not like Libya’s in the news much. Nor will it be, until after the election. . . .

Although the app rarely sees a report, Lizardo still feels that it’s a crucial part of the schools anti-bullying efforts. “Even if I have no one use the program all year, I’ll continue renewing it,” Lizardo says. “It shows the parents and community that this is something I’m serious about.”

So it’s basically an appearance thing.

OPERATION PETTICOAT: A COMEDY FOR THE REST OF US, A HOW-TO GUIDE FOR THE FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMED US NAVY: Twitter Lashes Out at Obama’s ‘Woke’ Pink Fighter Jet.

It’s an old F9F-8 Cougar(!) from the 1950s – but still, I’d feel better if Tony Curtis and Cary Grant were at the controls, as once again, there is no way for satire to imitate real life for its pure absurdity, particularly when the Obama administration is involved.

Seriously though, I wonder how wigs for chemotherapy patients and other remedies could have been purchased with the amount of money and bureaucratic man-hours that went into dreaming up this PR scheme?

RESET: East-West SpyWar Heats Up with Arrest of Russian Hacker in Prague.

Although the hacker’s name has not been released, video of the arrest, provided by Czech police, shows how it went down. Accompanied by his girlfriend, the Russian drove into the heart of Prague, the Czech capital, in a high-end automobile, to a swank hotel. The went to the hotel restaurant, only to be confronted by police, who moved so quickly that the Russian had no time to resist.

Indeed, he was so stunned by the appearance of the police at his table that the suspect fainted and was subsequently hospitalized. He is now in custody, awaiting an extradition request from Washington. The United States has 40 days from his arrest to ask for the Russian to be sent here to face charges, but Czech justice authorities today stated that they have yet to receive any American extradition request.

We don’t know specifically what hacking the Russian stands accused of, although Czech police have stated that he had perpetrated cyber-crimes against Americans, and he was wanted on an INTERPOL Red Notice—an indication that the FBI wanted to get their hands on this man rather badly.

Where’s the extradition request?

Insert obligatory “If this had been Trump, this would be playing on a loop on CNN and amongst the late night comedians” reminder here. Also, a reminder, these are the people who want to regulate every aspect of the environment and how you get to use it, and believe the earth is perfectly balanced eco-system that must not be disturbed by man, but have no problem dropping their sh*t down a storm drain.

As John Sexton adds at Hot Air, “I’m not suggesting team Hillary had anything to do with this dumb and illegal decision, but it’s a pretty good metaphor for a candidate who clearly believes the rules set up for others do not apply to her.”
