KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: MSM Aided and Abetted Biden’s Afghanistan Failure. “While this summer barbecue spat among loved ones has been fun to watch, we can’t let it distract us from the fact that the MSM has been almost criminally complicit in all of the damage that Joe Biden has done, is doing now, and most certainly will continue doing to this country.”
CHRISTIAN TOTO: Spike Lee: Oscar Winner, Fake News Spreader. “His new project, the four-part HBO docuseries ‘New York Epicenters: 9/11 – 2021 1/2,’ finds Lee giving airtime, and legitimacy, to 9/11 truthers. Even the liberal Slate called out both Lee and HBO for including the extensive material in the series.”

DAVID SOLWAY: Can America Survive the Biden Administration? “The nation is ruled by a president who seems to be in the terminal stages of galloping dementia. His potential replacement resembles a cackling witch with the intelligence of a feral child. The Senate majority leader is by all reasonable accounts a candidate for intensive psychotherapy. What unites these three presumptive authorities is a triple condition consisting of (a) contempt for the country they were elected or appointed to serve; (b) an intelligence quotient at the low end of the bell curve; and (c) an insatiable lust for the spoils of financial jobbery and unmitigated power.”
100 MILLION BROKEN EGGS AND NOT A SINGLE OMELET: ‘Soviet socialism saved and improved tens of millions of lives’? One CA prof thinks so. “In response to a tweet condoning Lenin as a murder, an economics professor expressed his support for Soviet violence.”

VIRGINIA: As Public Pushback Mounts, McAuliffe Buries ‘Equity’ Agenda.
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe quietly removed race-focused language from his campaign website’s education page as voters pushed back on “equity initiatives” in public schools.
McAuliffe has made “equity” a chief theme in his campaign for a second term in the governor’s mansion, tying racism to issues such as education, the economy, and criminal justice. In mid-August, however, McAuliffe removed his pledge to “eliminate racial disparities” from the top of his campaign’s K-12 education page, screenshots reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show. The Democrat also nixed the term “equitable” from the top of four issue pages on his campaign site.
The move came just weeks after a Trafalgar Group poll showed McAuliffe with a narrow lead over Republican Glenn Youngkin. It also came as Democrats in Virginia and across the country expressed concern over “equity initiatives” in public schools. In Loudoun County, for example, parent groups have collected thousands of signatures to recall school board members who have endorsed critical race theory.
The changes to McAuliffe’s campaign site suggest the Democrat is attempting to play both sides of the issue.
And:
McAuliffe has received nearly $1 million from the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers, the nation’s two largest teachers’ unions. One week before the NEA contributed $400,000 to McAuliffe’s campaign, union president Becky Pringle said her members “are not going to be afraid” to teach critical race theory in schools, because they “know that to not teach it, we are not telling the truth.”
Democrats and the NEA — but I repeat myself — aren’t about to give up on CRT no matter how well they scrub their campaign websites.
