AJ Kaufman: ‘Fearless Pursuit of Truth’: Introducing The University of Austin. “One common thread among the founders — many of whom come from the Intellectual Dark Web, is a rejection of ‘cancel culture,’ self-censorship, wokeness, and the way moral and political concerns are edging out inquiry as a focus on campus. That’s been a good start to attract committed students and faculty, as well as media attention.”

OUCH: Adam Schiff Gets Grilled on ‘The View’ for Promoting Bogus Steele Dossier. ““You defended, promoted and even read into the congressional record the Steele dossier. We know last week the main source of the dossier was indicted by the FBI for lying about most of the key claims in that dossier… Do you have any reflections on your role in promoting this to the American people?”

Spoiler: No.

DANIEL GREENFIELD: The British Muslim, CIA Operative, and Author of ‘I Posed as a Man Online for Sex’ Behind the Democrat Censorship Campaign.

A report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate warns of the free speech threat from, “climate disinformation, including articles that undermine the existence or impacts of climate change or misrepresent data in ways that might erode trust in climate science experts.”

And nothing builds trust like eliminating dissent.

Big Tech monopolies like Google and Facebook are already preparing censorship measures, but CCDH provided them with a list of censorship targets that covers much of the conservative media including the Washington Times, Breitbart, PJ Media, Town Hall, Western Journal, and many others. The CCDH’s censorship pitch was then swiftly picked up by the Washington Post.

If the past pattern of CCDH reports holds, Senate Democrats will use it as a prop in their latest demand that Big Tech companies censor conservatives and won’t trouble to examine who is behind the unsigned report and the suddenly influential shadowy organization that produced it.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate is a British leftist group run by Imran Ahmed, a former adviser to future London Mayor Sadiq Khan, now operating out of Washington D.C. Ahmed and his media allies claim that they have researchers on staff, but their site names only Ahmed.

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Thanksgiving Dinner Staples Are Low in Stock Thanks to Supply-Chain Issues.

Supplies of food and household items are 4% to 11% lower than normal as of Oct. 31, according to data from market-research firm IRI. That figure isn’t far from the bare shelves of March 2020, when supplies were down 13%.

For grocery shoppers this holiday season, it means that someone with 20 items on their list would be out of luck on two of them.

Although U.S. supermarket operators started purchasing holiday items early, aiming to avoid shortages, many holiday essentials are already in short supply.

Although?

BURIED VALOR: Biden’s Pentagon Literally Erasing Proof That Our Soldiers Sacrificed It All in Afghanistan.

An enormous collection of Afghanistan War footage has been removed from the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service by the Pentagon, according to a report in Task and Purpose. More than 120,000 photos and 17,000 videos have been removed from the DVIDS official record.

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said the images that were archived, so Afghans who helped the U.S. in the war will not be put in danger. The problem? A large number of the archived images do not show any Afghan soldiers or civilians.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Please Democrats, ‘Race Card’ Yourselves Into Oblivion. “I, for one, would like to encourage the Democrats to keep this up. It’s a message that isn’t accomplishing anything that they think it is. The only people who buy it made their purchases a long time ago. They’re not winning over any new hearts and minds with this tired, pathetic line of attack. Last Tuesday was ugly for them, and anyone with eyes to see can knows that it was probably a precursor to what will be an absolute slaughtering at the polls next November.”

BIDEN’S BUNGLED BUGOUT: Biden Abandoned U.S. Military Families in Afghanistan.

GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR: Reflection on Failure By Major Matthew Tweedy, USMC “We live in another era where the “best and brightest” failed to think strategically. Our credentialed elites–all products of the best educational institutions–did not meet expectations. We should cringe when considering the collective hours of critical thinking classes and books the top military and civilian leaders theoretically absorbed over the past 20 years. It did not produce wisdom at the highest levels. The essential question is not how or who thinks critically. But rather: Why can some do it in the first place?”

This is a longer piece and well worth your time — and of course, its lessons apply to our “elites” as a whole, not just our military leadership.
