MARK JUDGE: Surrender: Or Why I Will Always Love Bono.
NOT FAST ENOUGH, BUT YEAH: The media is becoming powerless. All they had to do to retain their influence was not be crazy, and they couldn’t do that.

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY: I Don’t Stand a Ghost of a Chance Without Tires. “This week, we have the most creative excuse ever, a genuine Mission: Impossible moment, and what looks like the Air Force’s not-so-secret message to Russian forces in Syria.”
YEAH, WELL, I TOLD PEOPLE THE SAME THING ABOUT BIDEN’S PRESIDENCY AND IT HASN’T TAKEN NEARLY AS LONG: Leaders Were Warned In 2014 Dean Candidate Job Talk That Law School Would Fail. 7 Years Later, It Did.
Frakt told FCSL leadership that if he would be brought in as dean, he would recommend scaling the school back, letting some staff go, and reducing admissions to meet the reduced demand.
His presentation was not well received.
“Not only did I not get the job, I didn’t even get to finish my presentation because the president came in and asked me to leave and claimed that I was insulting the school. …
To be fair, I got called an insurrectionist for pointing out the problems with Biden, too.
JUST NBC THE JOURNALISM! Tiffany Cross Blasted Ron DeSantis, Called Florida ‘Dick of the Country’ Hours Before MSNBC Ouster.
On the latest edition of Comedy Central’s Hell Of A Week, Cross used her turn during the “One’s Gotta Go” segment to push for the release of Florida into the castration bin, ripping into the governor and comparing his state to a set of genitalia that could use a trim:
TIFFANY CROSS: I say Florida literally looks like the dick of the country. So let’s get rid of Florida. Ron…
CHARLAMAGNE THE GOD: You’re saying castrate the dick of the country?
TIFFANY CROSS: Seriously, let’s castrate Florida. Here’s the problem, Ron DeStupid, Ron DeSantis, whatever you want to call Florida Man, he is so problematic. The people there passed Amendment Four, which gave returning citizens, those formerly incarcerated, the right to vote. He instituted a poll tax. He has done everything he can to keep Black and brown people from the ballot. He trafficks in stupidity and ignorance and I just think they are a problem for the rest of the country. Let’s get them out.
Hours later, news broke that MSNBC was severing ties with Cross, and a source familiar cited the comments as an example of the sort of commentary that led to the move.
Wow — wait until MSNBC management learns about some of the things that Al Sharpton has said when he wasn’t on the network!
DISPATCHES FROM THE MEMORY HOLE: NBC Retracts Report That Exposed New Details in Pelosi-Attack Investigation.
It remains unclear whether Pelosi was injured or whether his mental state was impaired at the time he answered the door, NBC stipulated.
Court documents obtained by NBC reveal that when police asked the assailant, David DePape, what was happening, he “calmly greeted them” and said “everything’s good.” DePape and Pelosi then began wrestling for control of a hammer, which DePape eventually used to strike Pelosi in the head, fracturing his skull.
Hours after the segment aired live on NBC, it was deleted from the Today Show website and an editor’s note was appended to the page.
“The piece should not have aired because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards,” the editor’s note reads.
The official Today Show Twitter account also deleted a tweet promoting the segment.
The retraction came after several prominent social-media users took notice of the strange new details NBC had reported. Several digital outlets, including the Daily Mail, had also aggregated NBC’s reporting and cast it in a conspiratorial light.
Here’s the original segment:

From the start, this has been a huge story. So when do the rest of us get to see it?
UPDATE: What Bias? Here’s How Much Coverage the Pelosi Attack Got vs the Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt.
Our friends on the Media Research Center’s NewsBusters crew watched all the mainstream blather so you all didn’t have to and crunched the numbers. Looking at the first five days of coverage of the Pelosi attack, they found that the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC’s morning, evening, and Sunday shows) had 11 times more coverage than in the same five-day coverage period following the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
I doubt very much that Sarah Palin is shocked by the disparity.

WHY ARE OUR UNIVERSITIES SUCH CESSPITS OF RACISM? ‘Anti-racist’ professor calls Herschel Walker ‘subliterate,’ uses racial slur.
Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker is “coonish” and “subliterate,” according to a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign professor who is also an “anti-racist” consultant.
Walker is “incompetent, subliterate and coonish,” Professor Sundiata Cha-Jua, a history and African-American studies professor, wrote in The News-Gazette in his regular column on October 23. “Coon” is a racial slur that refers to depictions of black individuals as lazy or dumb.
His column focused on black Republicans and how they are actually “MAGA Black White supremacists.”
So basically he’s a bigot AND an idiot.

HE’S BACK! Bibi VI: The Bibing. “This, the 37th, makes the sixth government Netanyahu has led (following the 27th, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th), eclipsed only by Israeli founding father David Ben-Gurion’s nine, and Netanyahu is the first to serve three non-consecutive stints in power.”
ANN ALTHOUSE ON DEMOCRATS SUFFERING FROM “ELECTION DREAD:” “There wouldn’t be so much dread if the Democrats hadn’t spent the last 2 years using their narrow majority so aggressively. They set an example, and you’re afraid to see that example followed. If the situation were reversed, wouldn’t you be saying it’s payback time?”
Democrats treat every election in which they lose as illegitimate, because they fundamentally don’t believe in democracy.
