KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Who Had ‘Lil Wayne Chillin’ With Trump’ On Their 2020 Bingo Cards? “Sure, I’m being flippant and having some fun here, but this story does provide a perfect example of the stark contrast between Democratic rhetoric and Republican reality in the Trump era.”

WELL, IT CERTAINLY DIFFERENTIATES HIM FROM MOST OF HIS PREDECESSORS: Border Chief Morgan Is Criticized for — Wait for It — Wanting to Secure Border.
HMM: Apple is building its own version of Google Search, report says.
Google pays Apple something like $10 billion per year to be the default search engine on iPhones and iPads. My guess is that cozy arrangement might not survive antitrust scrutiny.
LOOKS LIKE BOBBY, DRIVES LIKES TED, CAMPAIGNS LIKE JOE III: Beto O’Rourke Thinks Joe Biden Isn’t Doing Enough to Lose the Election. “Failed candidate slams campaign for targeting ‘white Dems’ in Pennsylvania instead of trying to win Texas.”
THE ART OF THE DEAL: Facebook Charged Biden a Higher Price Than Trump for Campaign Ads. “The Markup analyzed every known Trump and Biden ad purchased between July 1, 2020, and Oct. 13, 2020, and found that Facebook has charged the presidential nominees wildly varying prices for their ads, with Biden paying, on average, nearly $2.50 more per 1,000 impressions than Trump.”
What a chump.

YOUR SERGEANT SCHULTZ PRESS: Evidence of Joe Biden Corruption Just Keeps Piling Up, and the Media Refuses to Cover It.
PROFESSIONALS STUDY LOGISTICS: Joe Biden’s Campaign Schedule Contradicts Public Polls. “Why is Joe Biden going to Minnesota on Friday? A Republican hasn’t won the state since 1972, and yet, four days before the election, the Biden campaign, which has enough money on hand to work at expanding the map for Democrats, is coming to what should be safe territory for them.”
Considering how little campaigning Biden is doing, that he’s doing any of it in Minnesota is revealing.
NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO REPORT THE NEWS THAT THE NEWS INDUSTRY WON’T: Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, and the Spy King of China. “So here’s that Tucker Carlson interview with Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski that everyone is talking about. So many Biden corruption revelations are coming down the pike (despite the media’s best efforts at suppressing them) that I can’t wait for Monday’s BidenWatch to post them.”

MATT MARGOLIS: Here’s What Early Voting Numbers Are Telling Us. “Schweikart noted that despite the Democrats’ early lead in early voting, both in vote-by-mail (VBM) and in-person early voting (IPEV), they peaked around October 16 and Republicans have been catching up—big time.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Big Tech CEOs Grilled by Senate About Free Speech and Censorship but Will Anything Change? “The three CEOs — Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Google’s Sundar Pichai — all appeared before the committee voluntarily. That’s probably because they feel largely untouchable at the moment. They’re no doubt hoping that Crazy Joe the Wonder Veep gets elected and the Democrats take over the Senate, Should that happen, the very behavior that prompted yesterday’s hearing will be rewarded by the Dems.”
HMM: Spy agency ducks questions about ‘back doors’ in tech products.
These so-called back doors enable the NSA and other agencies to scan large amounts of traffic without a warrant. Agency advocates say the practice has eased collection of vital intelligence in other countries, including interception of terrorist communications.
The agency developed new rules for such practices after the Snowden leaks in order to reduce the chances of exposure and compromise, three former intelligence officials told Reuters. But aides to Senator Ron Wyden, a leading Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, say the NSA has stonewalled on providing even the gist of the new guidelines.
“Secret encryption back doors are a threat to national security and the safety of our families – it’s only a matter of time before foreign hackers or criminals exploit them in ways that undermine American national security,” Wyden told Reuters. “The government shouldn’t have any role in planting secret back doors in encryption technology used by Americans.”
Wyden has long been solid on digital privacy.
DON’T GET COCKY: Trump Is Doing Better In Michigan And Wisconsin Than Polls Suggest. “We just spent a week driving through Michigan and Wisconsin, talking with farmers, bartenders, politicians, priests, and ordinary voters, from suburban Detroit to western Wisconsin, and what we saw and heard left us with a very different impression: Trump’s support here is not reflected in the polls, and he might well win both states.”
SHOT: Senate Democrat to accuse Republicans of ‘bullying’ tech CEOs to help Trump.
CHASER: Big Tech is spending big to turn the U.S. Senate blue next week.
Senate Democrats know who butters their toast.
