AIRBRUSH ALERT: Washington Post caught stealth-editing report that initially labeled Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss ‘conservative.’
To be fair, this is the same paper that thought Jennifer Rubin and Dave Weigel were conservatives as well.
UPDATE: Washington Post: everything we dislike is conservative.

THE FLIGHT FROM STANDARDS: Deans Of Lower Ranked Law Schools Join Boycott And Criticize U.S. News Rankings. There’s plenty to criticize about the rankings — not least that tiny, insignificant changes can move a school 10 or 20 places — but this is more about making it easy to discriminate on race in admissions without it being so obvious.

A YEAR AGO PEOPLE PROTESTING AMERICAN LOCKDOWNS WERE BEING ARRESTED: Chinese students at American universities protest China’s ‘zero COVID’ policy.
FASTER? PLEASE! A US Air Force bomber successfully launched a fully-operational hypersonic missile in a milestone weapon test. “Once the missile was released from the B-52, it hit speeds faster than five times the speed of sound — a requirement for a weapon to technically be considered hypersonic, completed its journey along a set flight path, and detonated in a target area, the Air Force said. This test marked the first time that a fully-operational air-launched hypersonic missile prototype has been launched. Previous testing focused on rocket booster performance, with the first successful booster test occurring in May.”
#JOURNALISM: Cuban dictatorship arrests refugees trying to escape on a raft, Reuters reports they were ‘rescued.’ “Of course, and as expected, neither the AP nor Reuters made a single mention of a similar but much more deadly incident that took place in Bahia Honda in October. Less than two months ago, the Cuban Coast Guard rammed a boat filled with Cuban refugees escaping the island in Bahia Honda, sinking the vessel and killing 7 refugees, including a 2-year-old toddler. That incident has come to known as the Bahia Honda Massacre. But reporters for both the AP and Reuters know that if they mention this in their reporting, their press credentials will be removed, and they’ll get kicked off the island.”
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Fascists’ Musk Meltdown Is the Perfect Finish for 2022. “The narrative from the leftists thus far has been that Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing and that his purging of the leftist idiots will ruin the company. The ‘Musk is an idiot’ thing is my favorite part of that. The guy builds rockets for breakfast but multi-pronouned Jezzmina who used to be an HR assistant at Twitter thinks she knows more than he does. Twitter is actually humming along under Musk. The fun is back. Accounts that never should have been banned are active again. The traffic is great. In fact, almost NONE of what the left says is happening is actually happening. As I said in a recent podcast, they’re experiencing a collective psychotic break.”
IT’S ALWAYS A SURPRISE TO SEE A REPUBLICAN WIN IN A SQUEAKER: Recount confirms Lauren Boebert narrowly held her House seat. I guess “Democratic Strategist” and MSNBC talking head Kurt Bardella will have to get his OnlyFans jollies elsewhere.
THAT’S A QUARTER OF A TRILLION DOLLARS IN ONE MONTH: Federal Deficit Widened to a Record $249 Billion Last Month. “The federal government spent $501 billion last month, a $28 billion increase to a record high, while tax revenue dropped by $29 billion compared with last November, with the government collecting $252 billion. Adjusting for calendar differences in last year’s tax receipts, government tax revenue dropped $13 billion compared with last November, the Treasury Department said Monday.”

A LONG, COLD WINTER: Ukrainian Military Is Targeting Russian Fuel Supply Lines As Winter Approaches. “The lifeblood of any modern army is diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is used in most military vehicles as well as in the generators that provide electricity to command posts and living facilities. Accordingly, the Russian military has required a steady flow of diesel flow to their units in Ukraine to maintain combat effectiveness. With winter approaching, the Ukrainian military appears to be making a concerted effort to cut off that flow of fuel.”
UH, STOLE SOME AND WASTED THE REST? What did schools do with their emergency “pandemic” money? “Literally nobody should be surprised by what public schools did with all that pandemic aid they got during the COVID emergency. Very little of it actually was spent on making schools more resilient to COVID or COVID-like diseases.”
