CANCEL CULTURE HAS NO ENEMIES TO THE LEFT: NJ Democrat won’t resign after tweet about Abraham Lincoln assassination, Trump.
HIGHER EDUCATION’S CULTURE OF HATE: Coffee shop bullied off campus over owner’s support for police.
I’VE QUIT MY REGULAR USA TODAY COLUMN, BUT I HAVE THIS IN THE NEW YORK POST: The left is again showing that it can’t stand anyone who disagrees. “Moral superiority is an addictive drug, and perhaps the most unfortunate legacy of the Civil Rights era is that it got people on the left dependent on moral superiority for their self-esteem.”
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Dems Have Turned U.S. Elections Into a Third World Embarrassment. “While I was able to muster up some interest in everything leading up to Election Day because of my swing state status, everything in the two days since is practically making me want to weep for America. One would think that after 244 years and great leaps in technology that we wouldn’t actually be regressing in the way we handle our elections. Right now we’re a laughing stock that’s devolved into what looks like a Third World hellhole that’s never conducted a free election before.”
Who is this “we,” Kemosabe? Republican-run areas did just fine.
LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY: SpaceX launches GPS satellite from Florida, lands booster on ship.
GET YOURSELF SOME FRESH UNEXPECTEDLIES READY FOR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: San Francisco voters approve taxes on CEOs, big businesses.
AND THERE IS THIS: Fulton County told our observers last night to go home because they were closing up and then continued to count ballots in secret.
I saw this go on in Colorado Springs in 2012, too, and the GOP told me to stand down. JUST FYI. (And it was more than fifty. It was a backpack of them.)
TECH HAS TAKEN SIDES: Twitter slaps #StopTheSteal and censors leader Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Red-state attorneys general need to look into them.
COLORADO: A Message from Your New Congresswoman-Elect Lauren Boebert. “I am so thankful to everyone who supported my campaign for freedom and prosperity. This is a win for the steelworkers in Pueblo and the ranchers in Craig and the peach farmers in Palisade and it’s a win for every freedom-loving patriot who believes in the promise of America. Because of your support, I am heading to Washington to help secure our rights, drain the swamp, and make sure our children never grow up in a socialist nation. God bless you and God bless America!”
ENTERTAINMENT POLICE: YouTube will not remove popular ‘Trump Won’ video, despite the fact he has not.
FOR PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY WON THE ELECTION, THEY DON’T SEEM ALL THAT HAPPY: Libs Go FULL MELTDOWN Over Trump’s Historic Support Among Minority Voters.
WHAT MAKES AMERICAN CORPORATIONS SO “WOKE”?: I always assumed it’s because they get pressure from the left, but not from the right. Whatever the reason, United Airlines decided to endorse Prop 16 on November 3rd (just before 56% of California voters rejected this wrongheaded effort to authorize the State of California to engage in race and sex discrimination).
As a United Airlines Million Miler, I plan to express my displeasure via . If you are so inclined, please join me.
THE KING OF SELF-BECLOWNMENT: Paul Krugman Melts Down Over Dem Losses, Accidentally Admits He Doesn’t Have a Clue.
STEPHEN L. CARTER: Democrats Counted Too Heavily on ‘Trump Fatigue:’ Attacks on the president and left-wing slogans turned a potential landslide into a nail-biter.
Politico reports that angry party centrists are blaming a combination of the leadership’s smugness in imagining that an anti-Trump message would be sufficient to win the day, as well as the inability of candidates in tough races to escape the taint of the left wing: “Moderates in Trump-leaning districts couldn’t escape their ‘socialist’ shadow.” Stephanie Murphy, head of the party’s Blue Dog caucus, was frank about the cause of the party’s difficulties: “That far-left agenda is not what wins districts and holds majorities.” . . .
In this sense, the rise of identity politics created a moral hazard of its own, leaving the party with a false sense that ethnic groups have common interests that lead their members to vote as a bloc. There’s limited truth to this contention, and this year the limits became apparent. The Democrats seemed to assume that their portrayal of Trump as irredeemably racist would suffice to win them the support they needed among non-Whites. But apparently not every voter in that group was persuaded; at the very least, many found other issues more salient. And Whiteness was less important this time around. Preliminary exit polls tell us that Trump actually lost considerable ground among White men. At the same time, he made significant gains among people of color, both those with college degrees and those without.
There’s a political awakening among voters that Democrats have taken for granted. That’s likely to continue with or without Trump.

Don’t trust Facebook. Facebook is asshole.
SHOULD WE END ECONOMIC INEQUALITY? The Colson Center’s Brook McIntire offers three solid reasons why the answer to that query is a resounding No! Instapundit readers already know why that’s the answer, but Colson’s “What Would You Say” series makes it simple and compelling, enough even for journalists, recent college graduates, and Members of Congress to understand and remember.
