FOREBODINGS:
I think there's a great disquiet in the world today. People are excited but afraid and rightly so, for no one can say what these towering clouds mean. But we'll find out.

THEY TOLD US THE SCIENCE WAS SETTLED, AND THEN: Shaken Baby Syndrome Has Been Discredited. Why Is Robert Roberson Still on Death Row?
HE DOESN’T SOUND THAT WELL TO ME: ‘Well-man’ thrown from castle identified from 800-year-old Norse saga. “A passage in the Norse “Sverris Saga,” the 800-year-old story of King Sverre Sigurdsson, describes a military raid that occurred in AD 1197, during which a body was thrown into a well at Sverresborg Castle, outside Trondheim in central Norway, likely as an attempt to poison the main water source for the local inhabitants.”
FOLLOW THE “SCIENCE:” Discrimination may cause gut inflammation, digestive woes, study says.
ELECTION STRATEGY STEP ONE: DITCH ISRAEL TO COURT MUSLIM VOTERS IN MICHIGAN. STEP TWO, ER . . . Trump Endorsed by Arab Americans While Campaigning in Michigan. “If you’re in the Harris camp, that’s gotta hurt. Polls show they can’t afford to lose these voters but it looks like it’s too late to turn things around. Some will vote for Stein, some will stay home and there really are some who are moving toward Trump.”
ANN ALTHOUSE: David French writes about courage, Donald Trump demonstrates it. “I am reminded of Elon Musk’s ‘There’s no truer test than courage under fire.'”
EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: White House Report Card: Biden’s checked out, Harris in panic.
POST-COVID, THOSE WHITE COATS AND STETHOSCOPES NO LONGER STAND FOR TRUSTWORTHINESS TO MANY VOTERS:
This is the Kamala campaign in a nutshell.
She brought up all these doctors to say how much they love and support abortion.
Someone in the crowd had a medical emergency and called for medics.
Not one of the abortion doctors helped them.
Spot on.

ARNOLD KLING: Why Are We So Badly Governed? “Government and non-profits do not select for managers with the ability to deliver results. They select for people who are good at playing the game of status and power within an organization.”

DON SURBER: Endorse Trump to save your newspaper.
As a retired newspaper editorial writer, I offer a little advice to newspaper editorial writers in deep red states: endorse Trump. It will be fun. It will be daring. It will impress former readers who finally agree with the local newspaper.
The experience also will be educational as the writer struggles to find reasons to support the president. The writer might actually discover Russiagate really was a phony scandal, Obama really did have the FBI spy on him, and Jesse Jackson really did give The Donald two Rainbow Coalition awards back in the day.
We are told — by newspaper writers — that newspapers are vital to democracy but they do not act that way.
Indeed.
IT’S NOT EXACTLY A VICTORY LAP, BUT KINDA: Mark Judge: The end of the Washington Post. “The Washington Post is collapsing. Once one of America’s great media institutions, the paper lost $100 million last year and has shed 500,000 subscribers. Recent reports reveal that Post owner Jeff Bezos is going to be more hands-on to try and save the paper. Yet trying to get employees of the Post to do their jobs is like trying to get dogs to play baseball. Dogs just aren’t interested in baseball, and the breed of journalist now at the Post is just not interested in journalism.”
WHAT DID COMMUNISTS USE BEFORE CANDLES? ELECTRICITY!
Cuba went from grand to slumming, to raffish, to faded, to distressed, to shabby, to squalid, to pitiful without ever once passing Communist.https://t.co/8YItFTHbik

WELL, YES:
Let’s remember that Trump will put on the biggest show of his campaign tomorrow at Madison Square Garden, and Madison Square Garden is the biggest wrestling venue of the modern world. I think Trump wanted to establish that great wrestling theme as his theme so it will work especially well when it plays over his entrance into Madison Square Garden.
Perhaps the newsfolk who’d be inclined to just call it something like “ominous instrumental music” will be up to speed by tomorrow. But perhaps not. They might prefer to string along their own followers with whatever descriptions they can type out that make Trump seem weak, weird, and confused. They’re so dishonest!
Well, yes.
OPEN THREAD: Saturday night’s all right for blogging.
WELL, THE FIRST TIME IS ALWAYS FRAUGHT: Starship Super Heavy booster came within one second of aborting first “catch” landing.
I DUNNO, THERE’S A LOT OF COMPETITION FOR THAT SPOT: TikToker who tore down Greek flags thinking they were Israeli dubbed ‘one of the dumbest people on Earth’ by frustrated locals.
SOME PARTS OF AMERICA STILL WORK: SpaceX sends 22 Starlink satellites into orbit in record-setting launch.
FLASHBACK: REMEMBERING AMERICA’S WORST PRESIDENT. Woodrow Wilson made democracy unsafe for the world. Well, worst President so far.
STEVEN HAYWARD: A Trump Agenda for Day One. One of the mistakes of the Reagan Administration, which got off to a comparatively fast start and achieved significant results, was that it was in retrospect neither bold enough nor fast enough. At the end of Reagan’s two terms, one senior official reflected that the failure to achieve some of their fundamental goals of shrinking government, cutting the welfare state, and reining in regulatory power was that ‘it required…boldness, more boldness, ever more boldness. This boldness was not always in evidence.'”
Millei is a better role model than Reagan. Trump’s big weakness in 2016 was that he thought he still lived in the America of his youth. I think he knows better now.
