HMM: The hidden classism of modern feminism.

ANN ALTHOUSE: You know what Democrats are going to say if they don’t win the House. “You might think Trump has set the midterms up as a referendum on himself, and I think that’s true. But if the GOP wins, Trump antagonists are not going to give it to Trump and say his referendum passed and bow to democratic choice. They’re going to say that racism won, and resisting and fighting is even more important now that we know so many Americans have been caught up in Trump’s horrible scheme.”

I’M REALLY NERVOUS TOO:  Tomorrow is Election Day…

Nobody knows anything, but dear LORD.  Even if you hate your local GOP knucklehead, even if he is a RINO loser…. do you want Nancy “Grey Goose” Pelosi in charge of the House again?  Do you want those idiots on the left to think — as they have since they successfully demonized the squishy GWB — that they need to keep turning up the insanity and drama and lies? They’re already too crazy. Worse, do you want them to enact their contract on America, from higher taxes to throttling our energy production? Are you NOSTALGIC for the Obama years?
I for one would like a chance to dig myself out of the financial hole those years left me in.

Vote for your local Republican knucklehead. Even if you’d like someone better.  You go to war with the underwear you got on.  Vote against the democrat lunatics. It’s important.

REMEMBER WHAT HEINLEIN SAID? IF THERE’S NO ONE YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR, THERE’S SOMEONE YOU WANT TO VOTE AGAINST:  Vote No On Democrats.

Please? Because I want to write without worrying about what insanity they’re going to impose on all of us next.  And oooh, boy, every time I think they’ve reached peak insane they go “Hold my beer and watch me falsely accuse someone of rape while wearing a vagina costume.”  So…. please?  I write SF/F and even my mind can’t imagine the new depths of crazy they’ll plumb next.

THE SCIENCE — STOMP, STOMP, STOMP — WAS SETTLED!  Remember when climate alarmists told us global warming was going to kill the U.S. corn crop? Never mind.

DAMN IT DEMS, LYSISTRATA IS OLD FICTION:  CNN: Women Should Go On a Sex Strike Unless Their Men Vote Democratic.

SO, WHO ARE THE FINE FELONS FELLOWS OF THE MIGRANT HORDE?  Examining the Migrant Horde- Pt 3—The Rogues Gallery – by Bill Reader.

Membership of a particular social group or political opinion? Well, lord knows the Left will try that one on for size if they’ll try anything. The nucleus of the first group is hard left, and the frontman of said group is hard left, so if I had to guess I’d say the group probably leans left. They had their preferred candidate deposed for trying to change the constitution of Honduras— but though Democrats seem to struggle with this concept, unchallenged leftist leadership is not a basic human right. “We didn’t get our way over everyone” is not persecution.

Read the whole thing.

BUT BUT BUT BUT… THE SCIENCE IS — STOMPY FOOT — SETTLED!  UN says the Earth’s ozone layer is healing.

HEY GUYS REMEMBER THAT GREAT FEELING ELECTION NIGHT IN 2016? REMEMBER WATCHING ALL THOSE LEFTISTS MELT DOWN? DO IT AGAIN!  I’ll sit back and eat popcorn.

TODD HENDERSON’S THRILLER Mental State is now Amazon’s #1 new release in Political Fiction. It’s very good.

And here’s a Todd Henderson interview from the L.A. Review of Books. (Bumped).

STILL FLYING OFF THE SHELVES AT AMAZON: Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracy.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. David French: The Democrats Haven’t Earned Your Vote.

Democrats claim that now is a critical time for public hygiene. It’s time to hold corrupt, self-aggrandizing politicians accountable. I agree.

Ask your Democratic candidate if he or she is willing to publicly condemn New Jersey senator Robert Menendez — tried for public corruption and admonished by the Senate Ethics Committee for doing favors for a wealthy contributor in exchange for lavish gifts — the way that so many conservatives condemned (and ultimately rejected) Roy Moore.

Democrats claim that now is the time to reject the politics of personal destruction. They look at a president who calls people names, who spins out wild conspiracy theories (Ted Cruz’s father participated in the Kennedy assassination? Really?), and they demand better. I agree.

Look at your Democratic candidate’s actions regarding Brett Kavanaugh. Did they credit facially implausible gang-rape allegations? Did they presume his guilt and declare they “believed survivors” even without substantiation and in the face of contradictory evidence? Did they participate in a campaign to destroy a man’s life and career, only to drop the whole matter the instant he was confirmed?

Democrats decry Republican extremism and alarmism. They look at wild claims about the border caravan, wasteful troop deployments, and alarmist rhetoric about criminals and Middle Easterners. They condemn family separation. They decry Trump’s “enemy of the people” rhetoric. They believe that Trump and his allies are dangerously raising tensions in the American body politic. I agree.

Ask where your Democratic candidate stands on Hillary Clinton’s rejection of civility, Cory Booker’s call for protesters to “get up in the face of some congresspeople,” Eric Holder’s declaration that “when they go low, we kick them,” or Maxine Waters’s ominous demand that “if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

And while you’re at it, ask your Democratic candidates if the challenge of Donald Trump is so grave that they’re willing to moderate their positions on abortion, immigration, health care, gun rights, or religious liberty even in the slightest to win your support.

Hey, it’s a crisis of democracy, but it’s not that serious.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Generation Z Is Choosing Trade School over College: With the job market in flux, younger Americans are trying to avoid an education that comes with a massive amount of debt.

Huh. If only someone had seen this coming.

TEACH WOMEN NOT TO RAPE! (CONT’D): ‘Vastly ashamed,’ Minnesota woman gets 10 years for sex with N.D. student, illicit photos and videos. “A former West Fargo middle school teacher who pleaded guilty to having sex with a student and sharing illicit photos and videos with students was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison. . . . Moser, 38, was charged in July with eight felony counts involving six different victims. She pleaded guilty on Aug. 27 to six of the eight charges including sexual assault, gross sexual imposition, and four counts of luring minors by computer. The remaining two charges were dismissed. On the gross sexual imposition charge, which claimed she had sexual contact with a 14-year-old boy, Moser faced at least five years in prison, the minimum sentence, or up to life in prison, the maximum sentence for the crime.”
