DAVID MANNEY REPORTS: From the Gates of Auschwitz: Why Anger Is the Only Honest Response.

“Nazi” just means “political opponents the left has marked for death.” We all know that now. But the left won’t enjoy the results of normalizing violence.
WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: Aggressor Satellites That Replicate Enemy Ones On Space Force’s Buy List.
Space Force’s Guardians may execute a full-time remote mission from their stations on the ground, but the service’s top officer wants to take more training out of the virtual realm. In part, this would occur by deploying actual aggressor satellites in orbit in a similar manner to how the USAF flies aggressor fighters with specially trained pilots that mimic the enemy’s tactics and capabilities against its flight crews.
In a round table with reporters at the Air Force Association’s Air, Space and Cyber conference on Tuesday, Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman elaborated on Space Force’s plans to expand its operational test and training infrastructure (OTTI). He believes doing so will enhance Guardians’ experience, bring them closer to the fight, and highlight the realities of competing against an adversary, like China, with their heavy interest in disabling and destroying U.S. space assets.
Two weeks ago, Space Force stood up System Delta 81, a task-oriented unit focused on aligning acquisition efforts with operational test and training. On Tuesday, Saltzman outlined plans to improve the “Guardian experience” in the OTTI space.
How many current advances would be unthinkable without Starship (hopefully) coming into service in the next couple of years?
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Is Lucy Holding the Football With the Latest Comey News? “This is one of those situations where I would love it if you could all pile on and say, ‘You were wrong, Kruiser!’ I’m just not sure that our Comey orange jumpsuit dreams are going to come true. Let’s just say that my skepticism about the judiciary swells with every passing day. Our only hope at this point is that some of them get it right.”

JON CALDARA: ‘Trust but verify’ on privately financed Broncos stadium.
If they are good to their word, it will be a refreshing and rare example of an ownership group respecting both taxpayers and fans. Their announcement caught me off-guard. Even I had to be impressed.
But until the entire deal is signed in permanent ink, I will take my lead from Ronald Reagan to “trust but verify.” In other words, let’s see the details
The joint statement from the Broncos’ owners, the governor and the mayor of Denver was, after all, a well word-smithed work of craftsmanship: “In the spirit of a true civic partnership, the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group will privately fund this investment and work with the community, city and state to reconnect historic neighborhoods — with no new taxes.”
The magic words of course being, “with no new taxes.” These words have been used before to lull voters into whopping tax increases. In fact, the Denver Broncos under its previous ownership used that very phrase to get us to pay for their current stadium.
After Coors Field was basically paid for, meaning the 0.1% sales tax was set to expire, voters were asked to continue that tax to pay for Sports Authority-Invesco-Empower-Acme-Explosives-and-Road-Runner-Traps Field at Mile High.
If you keep a current tax from sunsetting, can you with a straight face say that it’s not a new tax? Bond dealers can. But of course, it’s a new tax.
Publicly financed stadiums are how billionaires get fans to pay for the very same stadium they’ll then overcharge fans to get into.
If things are changing on that score in Denver, great — but it still might be a long time before they tempt me into dropping mid-three figures to see mostly-OK football.
CHRISTOPHER RUFO: Radical Normie Terrorism.
In the 1960s and 1970s, America witnessed a wave of political terrorism. Left-wing radicals hijacked airplanes, set bombs in government buildings, and assassinated police officers in service of political goals. The perpetrators were almost always organized, belonging to groups like the Weathermen or the Black Liberation Army. These groups demanded the release of prisoners, denounced capitalism, or called for violent revolution against the United States. Their members were radical but largely lucid, justifying their actions with appeals to a higher cause.
In recent years, a new form of terror has emerged: decentralized, digitally driven violence organized not around coherent ideologies but around memes, fantasies, and nihilistic impulses. The perpetrators of this low-grade terror campaign do not belong to hierarchical organizations or pursue concrete political aims. More often, they come from ordinary families and lash out in acts of violence without discernible purpose.
At the close of this summer, two such incidents underscored the trend: the attack on schoolchildren at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Orem, Utah. Though the first resembled the school-shooter archetype and the second evoked a JFK-style political assassination, both share psychological and sociological roots that make them more alike than they initially appear.
The new terror campaign is defined by a particular kind of psychopathology. It is perhaps tautological that anyone willing to kill innocent schoolchildren as they are praying or to assassinate a popular podcast host in broad daylight is pathological. But in these cases, both alleged killers—Robin Westman (formerly Robert Westman), and Tyler Robinson—left behind several warning signs that were psychological in nature.
And if not actually Democrat Party approved, there’s certainly a lot of winking and nodding when terroristic events occur:

Yes, she says “strike ready”. But really pay attention when she starts talking about “risk tolerance.”

Reminder: the slogan on this poster matches the engravings on Tyler Robinson's bullets.
This is not a coincidence. The Communist terror network wants everyone to know that Robinson was one of theirs, in order to put the fright on conservatives.
But, of course, they do it in… https://t.co/3zfp8LlU7H

Paramount Skydance C.E.O. David Ellison’s courtship of Bari is now coming to its conclusion. According to sources familiar, the deal is expected to close in about two weeks. The final number is around $150 million, a mix of cash and stock.
Bari, who will also be installed into an editorial leadership role at CBS News, has been portrayed as both a bogeyman for American journalism and a bellwether for a broader rightward shift in the news industry. Ellison’s pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery, which could extend her jurisdiction to CNN, has only amplified the anxiety. Indeed, her impending deal is often framed as yet another data point in the accelerating erosion of the fourth estate—you know, alongside, say, Jeff Bezos’s overhaul of Washington Post Opinions, Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, or Trump’s myriad media lawsuits.
The sturm und drang surrounding Bari’s encroachment on these storied, if sorely diminished, journalistic institutions often coalesces around two issues: first, that she is reliably pro-Israel, and second, that she is a prominent critic of identity politics and woke orthodoxy. These views put her at odds with newsroom institutionalists who reject the notion of editors taking sides in any conflict*, and especially with the Slack-griping proletariat who might embrace diametrically opposite positions. Meanwhile, her popularity with libertarian members of the Sun Valley mogul set—some of whom are among her investors—only seems to reiterate the divide. Her politics, and that of The Free Press, are thus often cast as “center-right,” or “conservative”—reductive categorizations that fail to reckon with the available body of work.

QUESTIONS NOBODY IS ASKING: Barack Obama at the O2 review — If he doesn’t have the answers, who does?
The rock star president came out on the O2 stage to a rock star welcome. There was a standing ovation, a 14,000-strong wall of smartphones and, eventually, a “Hello London”, which London truly loved.
Once upon a time, Obama’s fans lined up in their hundreds of thousands, in Grant Park, Chicago, or all the way down the Tiergarten in Berlin, for a sprinkling of the most glittering political stardust around.
Is it possible that one of the world’s many problems is that these days it costs you anywhere from £86 all the way up to £1,799 for the privilege of being near him? That very highest price, by the way, gets you a signed photo with the 44th president of the United States, plus an unlimited drinks package.
No one looked quite as pleased to be near him as his host for the evening, David Olusoga, but who can blame him? He was so thrilled that for extremely long periods of time he appeared to forget he was meant to say anything at all.
Dare one say that, over more than an hour’s genteel conversation, Obama’s analysis of a world he didn’t change as much as we all thought he might was rather simplistic?
Yes, one may most assuredly dare say that, old chap!
Before Obama’s presideny. The following didnt exist.
There was no ISIS.
There was no caliphate.
There was no Black Lives Matter.
There was no Antifa.
There was no war on police.
All of that chaos started under his watch. He didn’t stop it, he started it. Obama is the real… pic.twitter.com/ay28VbElMV

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANTIFA AND FASCISTS IS THE COLOR OF THEIR SHIRTS: Antifa is a ‘fascist organisation’ that beat their opponents to a ‘pulp.’
Author Douglas Murray says Antifa is a “fascist organisation” that beat their opponents to a “pulp”.
“Antifa has been allowed to run because too many people have taken it at its word that it is an anti-Fascist organisation, it isn’t, it’s a fascist organisation,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“They dress up in black, they mask their faces, and they beat their opponents to a pulp on the ground in American cities.
“The left really should … look at what it’s been encouraging.”
How many lefties watched the assassination of Charlie Kirk and cheered?

THE LEFT IS ALL-IN ON THIS STUFF: Ted Cruz Rips Into Leftists Over ‘Rhetoric’ Following ICE Facility Shooting: ‘This Needs to Stop.’
“This needs to stop. Violence is wrong. Politically motivated violence is wrong. It was two weeks ago today that we saw a political assassination in Utah that tore the heart out of much of this country. This is the third shooting in Texas directed at ICE or CBP. This must stop,” Cruz said, with more than a tinge of frustration.
“To every politician who is using rhetoric demonizing ICE and demonizing CBP, stop,” he added. “To every politician demanding that ICE agents be doxxed and calling for people to go after their families, stop. This has very real consequences. Look, in America, we disagree, that’s fine, that’s the democratic process, but your political opponents are not Nazis. We need to learn to work together without demonizing each other, without attacking each other.”
To lightly paraphrase what Clarice Starling said of serial killer Jame Gumb, “They’ve got a real taste for it now.”
DEM MEDIA IS RUNNING INTERFERENCE FULL TIME:
This actually sickens me. An ICE van at an ICE facility was attacked by a person who engraved Anti-ICE into bullets and because the waste of DNA killed non-ICE personnel, it's somehow not an attack on law enforcement.
This is disgusting. pic.twitter.com/cpY1HdAe7I
