Link safe, goes to Rod Dreher, who gives it the fisking it well deserves, and notes that its author, Alexis Grenell “is a Democratic Party strategist. The New York Times, the most important newspaper in the world, and the voice of the liberal Establishment, saw fit to publish this racist, sexist call to arms. This is what elite liberalism in America has become.”

VICTORY GIRLS: Justice Delivered.

A MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: Campus mob that attacked ‘Confirm Kavanaugh’ group may face punishment.

Earlier this week a mob of students, enraged by a pro-Brett Kavanaugh tabling effort at the University of Texas at Austin put together by its Young Conservatives of Texas chapter, encircled and yelled at its members while chanting obscenities. Several students were also filmed grabbing the young conservatives’ signs out of their hands and ripping them up.

One student told the conservatives if they did not want their signs ripped up they should not have written such offensive things. The signs stated phrases such as “#MeToo gone #TooFar,” “KavaNotGuilty” and “No Campus Kangaroo Courts in Congress.”

In the wake of that melee, campus authorities are reviewing the incident, UT Austin spokesman J.B. Bird told The College Fix.

“Because of federal privacy law, the university does not talk about specific student discipline cases,” he said. “Damaging another person’s sign is a violation of university rules. The Dean of Students has reached out to students involved to determine appropriate action. University Police are also reviewing potential criminal violations.”

Meanwhile, members of Young Conservatives of Texas have had their names, phone numbers, places of work and personal social media accounts published by an activist group that describes itself as “anti-oppressive, anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist.”

This is a conspiracy to deprive people of their civil rights.

Plus, from one of the conservative students: At the end of the day, we’ve let the campus descend into this level of far-left madness because conservatives have ignored it, but through actions like what we did today we embolden people to stand up for what they believe in.” Yes. End the culture of leftist impunity.

CHANGE: “FBI 2017 Murder stats just released. Slight decrease in homicide rate after 2 years of increases. Now a bit less than 2008 rate (which was the lowest in 40 years).”

SOME OF Y’ALL WERE LOOKING FOR HOUSE RACES WHERE YOU COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Salena Zito: John Chrin, Teamster-turned-banker, tries to turn a blue district red.

Brooks has decided that he is going all in for Chrin, a Teamster-turned-Wall Street banker who is holding his own against a rising blue tide.

“I like this guy,” Brooks said. “What I like about him is that he has a proven track record on successful business, and that’s what I like to see in a congressman is a businessman, as opposed to a lawyer. I think we have way too many lawyers in the House of Representatives and in the U.S. Senate, and I really like the success that he has done in business.”

Chrin’s challenge isn’t insurmountable. When the Democrat-controlled state Supreme Court redrew the congressional map in favor of Democrats, they may have made reelection harder for Democrat Rep. Matt Cartwright.

Cartwright went from a once-safe Democratic seat, where he made consistently progressive and liberal votes, to the new 8th Congressional District, which made his already-trending-Republican seat into one that could be persuaded by the right candidate and message to put a Republican in the House.

Chrin is making a pretty good case that he could be that guy.

WINNING: Bigger job gains for disabled workers under Trump.

Disabled Americans are going back to work at a better pace than those with no disabilities, another sign that the Trump economy is opening up the job market.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics Jobs Report released Friday said that a higher ratio of those with disabilities gained jobs than those without them

“The employment-to-population ratio for working-age people with disabilities increased from 30.4 percent in September 2017 to 31.4 percent in September 2018 (up 3.3 percent or 1 percentage point). For working-age people without disabilities, the employment-to-population ratio also increased from 73.8 percent in September 2017 to 74.0 percent in September 2018 (up 0.3 percent or 0.2 percentage points),” said BLS.

The participation rate was good too, according to a report from the issued by Kessler Foundation and the University of New Hampshire’s Institute on Disability.

A rising tide lifts all boats. But, you know, with insufficient opportunities for graft.
