KENTUCKY: Matt Bevin’s Gubernatorial Loss Has Nothing to do With President Trump. “In Kentucky, Governor Matt Bevin lost to a Democrat. No Republican Governor of Kentucky has ever won re-election. Democrats have rushed to make this about Bevin, but consider Bevin was at 30% approval and, after Trump’s visit, got within striking distance of victory tonight. This really was not about Trump. Kentucky Republicans swept all the other statewide races. Kentucky elected its first black Attorney General, who also happens to be Kentucky’s first Republican Attorney General since 1948.”

DECLINE IS A CHOICE: Why I’m leaving New York City: Y’all want salad for Thanksgiving.

Meanwhile, the Huffington Post has answers to questions no one is asking: “How much damage are we doing with our epic Thanksgiving meal every year? We spoke with three researchers to find out more about Thanksgiving’s carbon footprint. It turns out that your food isn’t the biggest holiday culprit of carbon dioxide emissions — traveling for the meal is.”

Shouldn’t the Huffington Post go offline to set an example for the rest of us by slashing its own carbon footprint down to zero?

ABC’S EXCUSE FOR FAILING TO REPORT ON JEFFREY EPSTEIN MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE:

Three years ago, remember, Bill Clinton’s wife was in the midst of her presidential run. One imagines that a story detailing her husband’s vacations to a pedophile’s island retreat might have been newsworthy.

By the way, has Robach wrapped up that reporting on Clinton, yet?

The notion that she believes she was venting during “private moment” isn’t plausible, either. Any regular guest — and Robach is on TV every day — knows that a gaggle of producers are listening to everything that’s being said, and that everything that’s being said is going to be on tape.

Paired with NBC News’ burying of the Harvey Weinstein story, we now have evidence of two major media institutions protecting serial abusers. One wonders how many young women might have been saved if they hadn’t.

I’M NOT SURE I AGREE WITH THE FOLKS AT REASON THAT THERE’S SOMETHING LIBERTARIAN ABOUT ANONYMOUS ACCUSATIONS.
