HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: CSUN professor runs ‘Boycott Israel Resource Page’ on university website. “The page calls Israel ‘The most racist state in the world’ accusing them of ‘Crimes against humanity” including “ethnic cleansing.'” Hatred and bigotry are at home in academia, for all the happy talk about diversity and anti-racism.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Dems Are Fear-Mongering Because They Think They’re Going to Lose and Want Riots to Continue. “They’re keeping the fear-mongering at an all-time high because it’s an integral part of their election plans. They want more riots if Trump wins. They want riots to continue throughout the interminable mail-in ballot counting.”

NOW OUT: My new book, America’s New Destiny in Space (Encounter Intelligence Book 7). The Encounter Intelligence series is designed to be short enough that a Senator or a CEO can read it on a single flight, so it’s a quick — but, I hope, interesting — read.

SADLY, THIS SORT OF ACTION REQUIRES ACTUAL COURAGE TODAY: Over 50 Law Professors Pen Letter to Senate Judiciary in Support of Amy Coney Barrett’s Confirmation. “The group includes several professors from Ivy League schools including Harvard University, Columbia Law School, and Yale Law School, as well as professors from the University of San Diego, Notre Dame Law School, George Washington University Law School, Stanford Law School, and others.”

THIS IS FINE: Technical problems arise as early voting starts in Georgia with big turnout.

OF ALL THE CITIES IN THE WORLD, DID THE CRAZY LEFT HAVE TO RUIN MINE?  About that so-called ‘security guard’ who gunned down a Trump supporter in Denver.

LOL, JOE BIDEN: Biden Talked of Attending Black Church As a Teen, But Members Don’t Recall It.

HE’S NOT WRONG: FEC chairman: ‘Vote in person,’ mail-in ballots ‘easiest’ to throw out.

DAN MARKEL’S MURDER: Wendi Adelson’s Alibi.

LESSONS LEARNED: An auto-manufacturing expert says Tesla’s days of production hell have put it ’10 years ahead’ of the competition.

“So what Tesla’s done is it’s cranked out a product that’s probably 90%, 95% there,” he said. “But they’ve got so many ways of investigating what’s going on in each car all the time that the feedback can say ‘Hey, what I think what we should do is X. Let’s make that engineering change and implement it on the vehicles from here going forward, and if or when a customer has a problem, bingo, we don’t know how to solve it or we’ll replace the parts.'”

“If I had to make a choice between the two — getting to 95% and then basically waiting until customers complained and then changing things rapidly,” Munro continued. “I’d rather take that approach.”

That approach seems to be working. Tesla’s on track to produce nearly 500,000 cars this year, analysts estimate, in-line with the company’s guidance.

I wrote at the time of Tesla’s “production hell” that the race was between Tesla trying to upscale itself into a mass-producer of automobiles, and the incumbent automakers squashing Tesla by figuring out how to make and market better EVs — and that I had no idea who would win.

Tesla looks like they’ve won.

SAY ANYTHING: Biden Talked of Attending Black Church As a Teen, But Members Don’t Recall It. “The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment.”

CHANGE? Justice ready to charge Google with monopoly search practices. “Proving today’s tech giants are monopolists who cause consumer harm is challenging since companies like Google give most of their ad-supported services away for free.”

“Harm” can consist of a lot more than just monopoly pricing, but our antitrust laws predate computer networks.
