THOSE WHO KNOW NOTHING OF HISTORY… One in Three Millennials Says OK to Communism.
HARSH, BUT FAIR: Kayla Mueller’s mother: If Obama had been as decisive as Trump, she might still be alive. Absolute moral authority, as they say.
Plus: “That reference to Obama being indecisive refers to this Fox News piece from 2015, in which Catherine Herridge reported that the U.S. had astonishingly precise intelligence on Mueller’s whereabouts in May 2014 — allegedly down to the very building where she was being held. Herridge’s sources claimed that the Obama White House waited fully seven weeks to act, fearing that the intel wasn’t solid enough even though the rescue team thought it was sufficiently firm to justify going in. By the time they finally did go in, Mueller was gone. She was dead less than a year later and endured God knows what sort of terror at Baghdadi’s hands in the interim.”
SAVAGE: Washington Post To Run All Headlines By In-House ISIS Marketing Rep. From America’s new paper of record, the Babylon Bee.
STANDING UP FOR FREEDOM: Dave Chappelle gets Mark Twain Prize, says comedy career ‘saved my life.’
Chappelle informed the audience “I did not write a speech.” During his impromptu remarks, he defended freedom of speech when talking about comedians he knows who are “very racist.”
“(I) don’t get mad at ’em, don’t hate on ’em,” he said. “Man, it’s not that serious. The First Amendment is first for a reason. Second Amendment is just in case the First one doesn’t work out.”
Indeed it is.
HINT: ORANGE MAN BAD. NY Times thinks it found the real enemy in al-Baghdadi raid.
SHUT DOWN THE NFL: A Player With Shoulder Pain, and a League Happy to Turn Its Back. Why are lefty-dominated industries so callous, uncaring, and exploitative?
THE KID’S NO LONGER IN THE PICTURE: Godfather, Chinatown Producer Robert Evans Dead at 89.
Evans — one of the most successful producers in Hollywood history — is dead. Evans, who produced such iconic films as ‘Godfather,’ “Chinatown” and “Urban Cowboy,” died Saturday.
His credits are crazy … “Rosemary’s Baby,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Goodbye Columbus” and “Love Story.” These movies were shot under his watches as the head of Paramount productions.
The 2002 documentary about his career, The Kid Stays In The Picture, is a classic, not least of which because Evans’ knowingly campy narration.
NO, THEY WANT TO SHAME PEOPLE INTO NOT GOING TO THOSE SITES: Australia wants to use face recognition for porn age verification.

YOUR DAILY TREACHER: Biden Claims He Told Obama Not to Endorse Him; Yeah, That’s the Ticket.
To put it another way, “I asked Jessica Alba to not have sex with me,” as one wag joked on Twitter yesterday.

I DUNNO, WHAT DO THESE VILLAINS HAVE IN COMMON? What does it mean that The New York Times and The Washington Post are digging up villains from the past for their front page?
HISTORY: Lost Writings From Zora Neale Hurston Have Been Found And Will Be Released In 2020.
I quite enjoyed her Barracoon, which only came out recently, after decades on the shelf.
HARSH, BUT FAIR.
COVERING THE IMPORTANT STORIES: Military Dog Hurt in al-Baghdadi Raid Returns to Duty.
RESIGNS OVER #METOO PROBLEM WITH STAFFER, THEN CLAIMS VICTIMHOOD: Rep. Katie Hill to fight revenge porn upon leaving Congress. “Now, my fight is going to be to defeat this type of exploitation that so many women are victims to and which will keep countless women and girls from running for office or entering public light.”
No man would get sympathy for “nonconsensual release” of incriminating sex pics. Then again, it’s probably all BS anyway: “Hill has yet to announce what kind of action she plans to take to fight the use of revenge porn, and her staff did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Verge regarding any future plans.” It’s probably more like Harvey Weinstein’s promise to “take on the NRA.”
YOU’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BLOG: Democratic Presidential Clown Car Update for October 28, 2019. “Biden is up, Ryan is out, a poll has Buttigieg second in Iowa, and the Yang Gang takes on Bernie Bros.”

HE’D BE SMARTER TO MOVE SOMEWHERE WITHOUT EXTRADITION: Comey Will Move To New Zealand If Trump’s Re-Elected.
SO WHAT YOU’RE SAYING IS, TRUMP DIDN’T BREAK ANY LAWS? You don’t have to break a law to be impeached. Trump’s defenders need a better argument. I mean, she’s not wrong, but that’s what I’m taking away from this piece.
MATT TAIBBI’S DIRE DILEMMA: Is Trump Worse Than the Deep State?
In spite of this profound disparagement, Taibbi apparently believes that the Deep State is worse than being ruled by a Mad King that you would not leave your children with. It’s quite a predicament.
On behalf of uncounted thousands of readers who dumped Rolling Stone when Jann Wenner’s periodical became more interested in promoting Blue State hegemony than covering Blue Oyster Cult, we can only say that Taibbi is half-right, which is 50% more correct than most leftists.
And at the risk of repeating PJM’s Mark Ellis, Bill Kristol as well.
