TRUMP DOES A LITTLE OLD-FASHIONED MEDIA CAMPAIGNING: Via an op-ed in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (MJS). For puzzled younger readers, the MJS is one of the few surviving newspapers that still sells a print edition made of paper that people pick up from their driveways or front yards each morning, hold in their hands, and read it by successively “turning pages.”

Yes, I held one in my hands as a child, reading it while trudging the five miles to school in the snow, uphill, both ways. No, it didn’t even have a search button.

FIVE COVID CHARTS THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE: Issues & Insights assembled these data illustrations that ought to remove any doubt that 99 percent of the “reporting” on the coronavirus Pandemic gets all the important stuff wrong. Note especially the near-vertical climbs in new cases for France and Switzerland.

‘ONLY AN ACT OF GOD COULD KEEP ME FROM VOTING FOR TRUMP:” So declares self-described “Children’s Rights Activist” Katy Faust. She didn’t vote for The Donald in 2016.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH ANONYMOUS SOURCING? The Federalist’ Mollie Hemingway says all you need to know on this issue is captured in the New York Times’ handling of its “Anonymous” source, you know, the “senior administration official” who was actually just a staff guy out in the bureaucracy.

WHAT IF THEY START OUTLAWING CONSERVATIVE SPEECH? They will, you know, if Biden wins and Democrats takeover both chambers of Congress, according to Hans Bader of Liberty Unyielding.

WHO ON BIDEN’S STAFF CORRECTS HIS GAFFES? Another illustration of why the Issues & Insights editorial page is so appealing. “Biden’s staff, which includes much of the media, must by now be weary of having to cover his repeated stumbles and descents into a momentary, but growing, madness. In only the last year, Biden:” Go here for the lengthy list.

MAINE SENATE NOW A DEAD-HEAT: Latest results from Colby College Poll has Democrat Gideon with a three-point margin over Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), well within the margin of error. Think Collins wishes now that Trump would have a rally in Maine?

CUOMO SHAKES DOWN STATE CONTRACTORS: Open the Books strikes again, this time finding hundreds of instances where New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo sought millions of dollars campaign contractors from firms providing goods and services to state government. You wanna play in New York? You gotta pay, know what I mean?

Question: Why doesn’t somebody endow an annual Sunlight is the Best Disinfectant Award to recognize the superb work of Open the Books, Judicial Watch and other transparency in government advocates?

MEET THE B-17 OF BUGS: It’s the Bombardier Beetle and it has a swiveling “turret” of two rapid-fire machine “guns” like the famous Fortress of WWII. That turret also has something to say about Intelligent Design. I’m looking forward to the appearance of G model, with the chin turret!

ACCESS TO JOE WAS PART OF HUNTER’S INVESTMENT PITCH TO CHINA: No surprise in the headline, actually, because that access was the heart of the whole enterprise.

CONSTRUCTION OF TRUMP’S WALL PROCEEDS APACE: The Lid’s Michael Cantrell reports from Western Arizona.

ARE YOU A WHITE SUPREMACIST? One Minute Apologist Bobby Conway says we really ought to do a little defining of terms before throwing around such terms.

ARE MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z DOOM FOR THE GOP? Earlier in the 21st Century, the demographic silver bullet for Democrats was the “Rising Electorate” of Blacks, Hispanics and other “voters of color.” Now, Ronald Brownstein says the silver bullet is the Millennial and Gen Z generations.

And why do these younger voters — who will soon make up the largest generational voting block — represent the end of the line for Republicans? Here’s Brownstein’s governing assumption: “Given that the younger generations align much more closely with Democratic ideological views on almost all policy questions …”

But is that “given” actually a given? What if Trump wins another four years, gets the economy expanding again, as it was just prior to the pandemic lockdown, and continues the trends of increasing household income, record low-unemployment among Blacks, women, Hispanics and young people, and new-job creation?

Where will Democrats find a new silver bullet?

DIDN’T LENIN SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ‘THE LAST CAPITALIST … LAST ROPE?’ Guess who’s funding these two Democratic strategists using three nominally non-partisan foundations to mail millions of mail-in voting registration applications?

WHO MEMO WARNED AGAINST LOCKDOWNS’ ‘CULTURE OF FEAR’ IN 2011: More from inside the World Health Organization (WHO) by Jeffrey Tucker at the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER).

THANK THE TEACHERS UNIONS, HEALTH ‘EXPERTS,’ AND THE MSM: For the “Scarred Generation” of kids being held out of the classroom because of Covid. The Guardian looks at the situation in the UK, but there’s every reason to think the same applies here and elsewhere. HT: Dr. Scott Atlas.

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATIC SENATE DARLING TRAINED TURKISH LOBBYISTS: Well now, how is the Sainted Jaime Harrison going to explain leading training sessions in Istanbul in 2015, teaching such topics as “the five key characteristics of a successful lobbyist”? The Washington Free Beacon’s Collin Anderson is asking the right questions. Will South Carolina voters?

BIDEN PREPARING RINO REWARDS: Citing a Politico report, Daily Caller News Foundation’s Thomas Catenacci reports Joe Biden’s handlers are assessing former Sen. Jeff Flake, former Gov.
