HEH: The Democrats’ ‘Ultimate Nightmare Scenario’: Trump Loses By 5 Million Votes…. And Still Wins Re-Election.

Actually, I think their ultimate nightmare is where Trump wins the popular vote, but would lose the Electoral College . . . except for that dumb National Popular Vote Compact that delivers the electoral votes of states like Colorado to him anyway. Of course, Dems would then sue to overturn the compact they promoted, and pretend that they were defending the Constitution by doing so.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

HE PERSISTED: Netanyahu Becomes Longest-Serving Prime Minister. “He has proven to be not only a skilled and charismatic political operator, but also a remarkably effective steward of Israel’s prosperity and safety.”

TRUTH, FROM THE COMMENTS TO THIS POST: “THAT’s America for you. In the event of disaster, you will be way better off with the random people stuck in a two hour traffic jam on the interstate highway somewhere than with the entire faculty of Harvard University.”

UM: The Lexus GXOR Concept Is for Overlanders Who Want a Bit of Luxury. “The GXOR looks much more rugged and ready for adventure than the standard GX, which is a luxed-up version of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado that isn’t sold in the United States. The GXOR is lifted on an Icon suspension system, there are frame sliders from CBI and a full ‘underbody armor’ kit, and the stock F Sport wheels are wrapped in General all-terrain tires sized 275/70-18. A custom ‘stealth’ front bumper houses a Warn winch, and there’s a safari snorkel to provide the engine with air while wading through water. Lexus painted the GXOR in a matte gray to give it a more sinister look. . . . The GXOR is towing an intense-looking X1H off-road trailer from Patriot Campers, which costs upward of $50,000. The trailer contains an electrically operated pop-up tent, a slide-out kitchen, a hot-water system, and a lot more.”

THE LEFT DUMPS ON APOLLO 11 AS A WHITE, MALE ENTERPRISE.

As Patrick Poole tweets, “Gadsden flags. Betsy Ross flags. Apollo 11. Sure is interesting watching everything authentically American get deemed ‘racist’ by our brave firefighting media.”

Fortunately, as Paul Mirengoff wrote at Power Line when Nike attacked the Betsy Ross flag during the Fourth of July week to improve its stock price, “I don’t think the culture wars are over. I think we have just begun to fight.” Let’s hope so.
