WORST. RACIST. PRESIDENT. EVER. Trump’s Economy Is Working for Minorities. “Despite his reputation for being racially divisive, President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have drifted upward among nonwhites in the last two years. While it’s impossible to say exactly why, one reasonable explanation is that the U.S.’s long economic expansion has been particularly beneficial for minority workers.”

HE’S NOT ALL THAT POPULAR A GUY: Michael Bloomberg’s potential 2020 bid is getting hammered online. He should run for NYC mayor again; they really need somebody competent, and he was okay.

Related: It would cost Bloomberg something like $12B to ‘buy’ the presidency. “In 2009, running for a third term as mayor, Michael Bloom­berg spent $102 million to get a mere 51%, total of $174 per vote. If he were to spend $174 per vote in this bid for the presidency in 2020 we’re hearing so much about, the White House would cost him something like $12 billion.”

Political consultants and political media outlets everywhere are drooling, but once outside their circles enthusiasm drops off a lot.

GET WOKE, GO BROKE: How Climate Activist Arnold Schwarzenegger Became Box Office Poison.

Some images are hard to shake, like a floppy-haired Hugh Grant begging for forgiveness on The Tonight Show after getting caught with a prostitute.

Similarly, close your eyes and you’ll see Schwarzenegger flaunting his fame sans guilt.

Remember the pictures of him puffing on massive cigars and driving around in a gas-guzzling Hummers? Few stars enjoyed the spoils of success quite like Schwarzenegger.

These days, he’s singing from the eco-choir. He even supports suing oil companies for hurting the planet. This week Schwarzenegger embraced the radical left’s climate change sage.

The newest Terminator movie reportedly had a budget of $185 million. Considering the giant carbon footprint of a film production that size and its advertising campaign, Arnold should be thrilled that his former audiences kept their own carbon footprint low by not driving to see his movie! Similarly, its expected low output of merchandising and Blu-Ray sales should make producer James Cameron feel pretty darn chuffed as well.

AND THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING: Roman Polanski Accused of Raping French Actress in 1975.

That headline and Polanski’s other abuse case, coupled with Harvey Weinstein’s 2009 op-ed defending Polanski in the London Independent aren’t doing much to dismiss the notion that “Hollywood Is a Sex-Grooming Gang,” as Kyle Smith wrote last year.

NBC, WHILE COVERING FOR HARVEY WEINSTEIN, STILL TACKLING THE BIG HOLLYWOOD STORIES: James Dean set to star in new film through digital resurrection, horrifying fans.

Magic City Films said it had obtained the rights from Dean’s estate to digitally recreate the “Rebel Without A Cause” star, who died in a 1955 car accident aged 24, for a Vietnam War-era action drama called “Finding Jack.”

Dean will be recreated through a mixture of old photos and footage, along with computer-generated creations projected over stand-ins. A different actor will lend his voice to what will be a secondary role for Dean’s character.

“We feel very honored that his family supports us and will take every precaution to ensure that his legacy as one of the most epic film stars to date is kept firmly intact,” producer Anton Ernst said in a statement.

“The family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. We do not intend to let his fans down.”

However, many fans were horrified at the idea. Esquire.com ran a story listing “35 working actors they could have cast instead,” while Vice.com pleaded, “Please don’t do this.”

It certainly horrified the Onion, which ran the headline, “‘No, God, No!’ Screams Agonized James Dean Disappearing From Heaven As Filmmakers Finish Constructing CGI.”

A RETROSPECTIVE ON THE BERLIN WALL, 2009: I wrote this column ten years ago.

Here’s an excerpt:

Many in the West, including the U.S., believed that the communists had history on their side. The wry debate reply from the defeatist lefties favoring unilateral U.S. nuclear disarmament was “better Red than dead.” For decades — I repeat, decades — this crowd had a media pulpit from which its self-proclaimed intelligentsia preached the moral equivalency of the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and at times dropped the all pretense and fingered the U.S. as the “fascist state” and global oppressor.

In the language of the defeatist left, the U.S. was the jailer, the warmonger, the threat to world peace.

The Berlin Wall’s collapse exposed that Big Lie, as did the documented moral, political, economic and ecological wretchedness of the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, we still hear echoes of this “blame America” cant lacing al-Qaida propaganda and the lectures of hard-left reactionaries like Bill Ayers. The great anti-American lies of the Cold War are recast as the great anti-American lies of the War on Terror.

Breaching the wall in 1989 was bloodless, but the Cold War certainly wasn’t. World War III did not break out along the intra-German border and produce a nuclear conflagration, but the Cold War’s battles on the periphery (e.g., Greece, Korea, Vietnam, El Salvador, Angola, Afghanistan) were expensive, fatiguing and deadly.

I think the essay has legs. But read the whole thing and decide.

RELATED: A column from May 2009 recalling May 1989’s propitious events, like Hungary’s decision to open the Austrian-Hungarian border. It also discusses the 1956 Hungarian Revolution’s military leader, General Bela Kiraly. Yes, there are some historical disagreements (some in print) regarding the demolition of the huge ammo dump and the Soviet reaction. However, he told me the version in the column on two different occasions.

ALSO RELATED: The Berlin Airlift Memorial. Nose art on a static C-54 transport.

WELL, YES: Republicans want Hunter Biden, Ukraine whistleblower as impeachment inquiry witnesses.

The Curbed San Francisco Website reports that “35 percent of San Franciscans consider leaving for good, according to city survey,” thus leaving the remaining Outer Party true believers living on Poopstrip One to be scolded Big Sister style by the giant image of Thunberg.

HISTORY: Mapping the end of incest and dawn of individualism.

“There’s good evidence that Europe’s kinship structure was not much different from the rest of the world,” said Jonathan Schulz, an assistant professor of economics at George Mason University and another author of the paper. But then, from the Middle Ages to 1500 A.D., the Western Church (later known as the Roman Catholic Church) started banning marriages to cousins, step-relatives, in-laws, and even spiritual-kin, better known as godparents.

Hmm.

THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES:

When I walked into Spaulding Auditorium to see The Best Years of Our Lives as an undergrad, I had never even heard of the film. When I walked out three hours later, I couldn’t believe I had never heard of it. It is a great film with a lot of truth and a big heart in it. TCM is playing the film as part of its Veterans Day lineup on Monday at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern). It’s a movie every American should see. If you haven’t seen it yet, you may want to try to catch it.

It’s tough to think of Americans who haven’t seen The Best Years of Our Lives, since viewing felt mandatory when I was kid, considering how often it played on the late show. Highly recommended.
