FEET-VOTING: After Tim Walz Became Governor, Minnesotans Fled the State—and Took Almost $5 Billion With Them.

MAKE THEM PAY: The Legal Backlash to DEI Training. “It turns out that putting Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi in charge of the nation’s collective HR programs hasn’t gone smoothly in all cases. Who would have guessed? Today the Washington Post has a story about the legal backlash that ubiquitous anti-racism training has created. There are at least 59 current lawsuits brought against these training programs by people who say they felt discriminated against.

A good start.

WHY DO DEMOCRATS HATE JEWS? Democrats Greenlight Campus Zionist Purge By Passing Over Shapiro: Democrats just gave anti-Zionists a win. It will be like blood in the water in a campus pool infested with anti-Israel sharks.

“RULE OF LAW:” U.S. Secret Service Breaks into Massachusetts Hair Salon and Tapes Over Security Camera, Allegedly to Let People Use the Bathroom During Kamala Harris Fundraiser.

The entitled, incompetent Secret Service should be disbanded and replaced by people who are competent and know their place.

#JOURNALISM:

One of the best parts of story: Willie asked Trump’s secretary for tail number of plane. She said you’ll know it when ya see it at Logan. He did: it had TRUMP emblazoned in zillion pt font

ED MORRISSEY: Could the media already have tired of The Silence of the Kams? “Today, however, the leader of the Protection Racket Media signaled their curiosity — at least — about what Harris plans to do if she wins the election. Following up on a Trump tax-cut plan that they conceded could make a difference in the election, the New York Times wondered where Harris’ economic plan might be … and when voters can see it. Their headline wasn’t exactly subtle about it, either.”

So if you think Kamala needs policies to campaign you’d do this. But if you think she’s going to lose, you might also do this because you need eyeballs and ears and the Basement Campaign is boring.

AND THE BEST NEWS, GUYS, IS IT’S ONLY 15-20 YEARS AWAY! A Simpler Path to Fusion: The Promise of Spherical Tokamak Technology.

It’s not that I’m against fusion power. It’s just that they’ve been saying we’re almost there for my entire life.

SO I FINISHED S.M. STIRLING’S TO TURN THE TIDE last night and quite enjoyed it. Wish there were more of it, but on the other hand I kind of need to get some work done.

That said, I’m going to go back and reread Island in the Sea of Time, another of his time travel series, next.

“EQUITY” IS A SCAM:

The video of Kamala talking equitable outcomes wld play much better if the outcomes of the so-called “public servant” classes were included in all that equity. Somehow living in middle class nabes w/reduced health insurances & police & speech protections is never their outcome. pic.twitter.com/XJwAo2l8cS

WELL, NATURALLY:

“Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler” https://t.co/KzQJz9WVdP

Note that this tweet is from a “mainstream” reporter, so the story is really out in the open now.

WELL, TO BE FAIR, THEY’RE DEMOCRATS: Harris/Walz Begin Campaign with Lies and an Assault on America’s Gun Owners.

LOGISTICS: The Russian Army railway logistics are now in worse shape than when Wagner’s revolt overran Rostov on Don’s railway marshaling yard. A lengthy thread on the Russians’ problem. Of course, the Russians have a history of carrying on when their logistics are shot. But that’s what they’ll have to do, if they are to carry on at all.

IT’S FUN TO WATCH THEM DEBASE THEMSELVES TRYING TO GET HER ELECTED: ‘Fact Checker’ Whitewashes Kamala Harris’s Call for AR-15 Confiscation.

Did you notice that the media only deployed “fact checkers” once the facts started to get out?
