TALK ABOUT SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT: The Socialist Rifle Association Has a ‘No Soldiers’ Membership Policy. “To be honest, I get it. With everything going on with how the military is being used currently, I understand not wanting to let servicemembers join an organization like that, but it’s really frustrating I got told AFTER paying for a membership, and wasting my time on the interview. Granted, I can still be a member of SRA as a whole, and participate in their online forums, but the whole reason I joined was to form some in-person relationships with my local chapter.”
I’m reasonably certain this isn’t satire.

NEWSMAX’S ROB FINNERTY: What’s Up With TV Anchors Adding an Accent When Pronouncing Spanish Names?
We’ve all experienced the ‘accent road bump’ during a TV news program. That’s where an anchor or reporter comes across a Spanish word or name and suddenly there’s some very noticeable pronunciation gymnastics.
Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty says it’s time for this absurd practice to stop.
Newsmax host Rob Finnerty asks why anchors pronounce Spanish-sounding names with an accent, starts talking in an Irish accent to prove how ridiculous it is.
“As I’ve said before, I am Irish. And if I was moderating that debate, would the host introduce me as Robert James Finnerty, don’t you know the little lad that he is Robert James Finnerty?”
“If the host was Chinese, would they then introduce that person with a Chinese accent? I don’t think so. Stop it.”

To be fair, this isn’t all that new a development. The earlier, funnier incarnation of Saturday Night Live was parodying all of the “accent road bumps” and “pronunciation gymnastics” back in 1990:
NOW IT CAN BE TOLD: University Leaders Say ‘Organized Networks,’ Including Iran, Drove Anti-Israel Campus Unrest.
Several leaders of prominent universities on Monday said they believe the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic demonstrations that broke out on campuses across the United States during the Jewish state’s war against Hamas were not organic, instead telling a panel audience they believe “organized networks,” and even foreign governments, may have driven the unrest.
Leaders of notable U.S. universities had not offered many thoughts on the connections between campus protests and outside groups before Monday’s discussion on combating anti-Semitism. During the event, though, Syracuse University chancellor Kent Syverud brought up Iran in particular.
“I really believe [the demonstrations] were encouraged from Iran,” Syverud said. “It did not have the involvement of very many—if any—of our own students.”
Vanderbilt University chancellor Daniel Diermeier agreed, saying the anti-Israel movement on his campus seemed to have been coordinated by outside forces and followed a “playbook” that “was imported” from other universities.
“There was, not a large group, maybe 30-plus students or something, but they were using the playbook that they had seen at Columbia and other places,” he said. “It was the same messaging. So, it’s more than a social contagion. I think they’re organized networks as well.”
“Leaders of notable U.S. universities” certainly didn’t appear to do very much to stop the protests in the wake of October 7th, however. As VDH wrote in December of 2023, “After October 7, the public was shocked at what they saw and heard on America’s campuses. Americans knew previously they were intolerant, leftwing, and increasingly non-meritocratic. But immediately after October 7 — and even before the response of the Israeli Defense Forces — the sheer student delight on news of the mass murdering of Israeli victims seemed akin more to 1930s Germany than contemporary America.”

SpaceX is now launching roughly the same number of satellites in a year as the number of operational non-SpaceX satellites in orbit cumulatively https://t.co/I1Hb7hmBIA
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 29, 2025
Every launch SpaceX makes for the rest of the year breaks the record for launches in a single year.
The record set by SpaceX, of course — and they have a little over two months to go.
And while I can’t find the link, Musk also noted recently that SpaceX is responsible for something like 90% of 2025’s mass to orbit.
YES: Don’t Make Nuclear Power Another Failed Government Program.
Washington’s handouts aren’t what have unleashed today’s nuclear revival. The real engine is private investment. But old Washington spending habits die hard. What should be a golden opportunity is, in at least in one instance, turning into a taxpayer-financed boondoggle. Instead of trusting the private markets’ proven success, the federal government is reflexively reaching for subsidies, throwing billions of taxpayer dollars into demonstration projects that in the real world produce more delay than progress. What follows is a cautionary tale of how well-intentioned federal programs risk undermining the very market momentum now driving nuclear energy forward.
The Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Project (ARDP) was launched with optimism near the end of President Trump’s first term, with the promise to deliver two commercial-scale reactors within five to seven years. The initial tranche of $160 million has since ballooned into a multibillion-dollar federal spending spree, with $2.4 billion embedded in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law enacted in 2021.
The clock is ticking, and the demonstration reactors are drifting off schedule. Meanwhile, this project is hemorrhaging taxpayer dollars faster than Congress can write checks. Rather than serving as a showcase of innovation, ARDP is veering toward becoming just another Beltway boondoggle with big promises and bloated budgets, leaving the taxpayers very little to show for it.
For conservative budget hawks, this arrangement should raise eyebrows, as should the names of its chief beneficiaries: Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. They are key backers of the two companies—X-Energy and TerraPower—receiving this government largesse.
Or as the wise man once said, “Get the hell out of my way!”

THOSE SLEEPER TERRORISTS CELLS ARE STILL HERE: Richard Pollock is warning in his latest Substack column of the continuing and possibly increasing threat of a new wave of terrorist attacks in America and Europe.
Citing the Combatting Terrorism Center at West Point, Pollock reports that U.S. intelligence agencies have been warning state and local governments “to be vigilant for potential domestic plots in the United States.”
SCHUMER SHUTDOWN: Airlines are feeding air traffic controllers as they miss their first full paychecks.
United said that it’s feeding workers at the airline’s hubs across the country, including in Chicago; Denver; Houston; Los Angeles; Newark, N.J.; San Francisco; and Washington, D.C.
Delta Air Lines also confirmed to CBS News that it has “arranged for a limited number of meals for transportation sector workers,” while noting that it is operating “within the strict rules established for employees of federal government agencies.”
Additionally, JetBlue said it is working with its federal partners, including local aviation officials, “to offer meals at our airports as a gesture of support.” The airline said it’s working with the Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Federal Aviation Administration to coordinate those efforts.
At a press conference on Tuesday at LaGuardia Airport in New York, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy highlighted air traffic controllers’ financial struggles as they go without pay.
“This is day one,” he said of controllers missing their first full paychecks. “Day two gets harder, [and] day three is harder after that, as expenses continue to roll [in].”
Duffy also noted that controllers are calling in sick in larger numbers than usual, as some look for side gigs with companies like Uber or DoorDash to pay the bills during the shutdown.
Schumer could make this right today. Or at any time in the last four weeks.

COME SEE THE ANTISEMITISM INHERENT IN THE LEFTISM: Mamdani says NYPD boots ‘on your neck’ were ‘laced by the IDF’ in vile video.
Mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani once made a vile, conspiracy-tinged statement tying the NYPD and the Israeli military, according to a shocking video that resurfaced Tuesday.
“We have to make clear that when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it’s been laced by the IDF,” the Queens assemblyman said, referring to the Israel Defense Forces.
Mamdani made the comparison during the 2023 Democratic Socialists of America’s national convention, where he was the keynote speaker.
August 2023? A mere youthful indiscretion, and in no way representative of his more mature beliefs all of 26 months later.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Pondering How Much Magic Bari Weiss Can Work at CBS News. “As Weiss casts her eyes about for what needs to be fixed at CBS News, 60 Minutes would be the most obvious place to start. It’s the clogged toilet of bias at CBS News and it needs to be addressed. The program has been awful since, well, forever. I honestly can’t remember a time when 60 Minutes wasn’t merely a televised fan club for the Democratic National Committee.”
