YOU WILL BE MADE TO CONFORM: Ohio Professor Apologizes for ‘America Needs College Football’ Article, Pledges to Commit to ‘Anti-Racism.’
VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: Obsessed Left Wants Everyone Who Isn’t Them to Just Die Already.
Insanity Wrap needs to know: Remember that whole “Love Trumps Hate” thing?
Answer: Yeah, us neither. We would like to take a moment to wish Donald and Melania Trump and Hope Hicks swift recoveries.
Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.
- Hammertime! The video antifa doesn’t want you to see.
- Former White House doc expects Donald & Melania to be just fine.
- Progress: Biden’s coronavirus number is off this time by only 873-to-1.
And so much more at the link, you’d have to be crazy to miss it.
COLD WAR II: Public University Professor Routinely Writes Articles for Chinese Propaganda Outlet. “Grand Valley State University (GVSU) professor Joel Wendland-Liu has written multiple articles for China Global Television Network (CGTN), which is owned and operated by the Chinese government. According to detailed reports from the Guardian, Beijing has purchased several media outlets to ‘tell China’s story well’ as part of a larger worldwide propaganda campaign. CGTN is one of them. It pushes an anti-capitalist, anti-American narrative that many experts believe advances the Chinese Communist Party’s global influence.”
Force the CCP to divest.
SPACE: SpaceX’s Crew Dragon suffered more damage than expected on recent mission. “Speaking at a press conference this week about plans for the first operational launch of the Crew Dragon to the International Space Station (ISS) at the end of October, Hans Koenigsmann, vice president of build and flight reliability at SpaceX, said his team found ‘a little bit more erosion than we wanted to see’ on one of the spacecraft’s tiles.”
If that’s the extent of the “unexpected” damage, that’s good.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Trump’s Got COVID-19 and Now the Year Is Going To Get Really Ugly. “I keep telling people not to ask what else can go wrong this year but people seem to not be taking my advice. 2020 seems to be offended by the question and always has an answer to it that nobody likes. Never tempt the universe. The universe is bored and does not take kindly to being trifled with.”
WE COULD USE A LITTLE MORE LINDSEY 2.0: Third-party candidate backs Lindsey Graham in tightening South Carolina race. “Bill Bledsoe, who had been running as the Constitution Party candidate seeking to block Graham from a fourth term, dropped out to endorse Graham, the Republican’s campaign told The Associated Press on Thursday.”
SMART: Texas Gov. Abbott limits mail-in voting drop-off locations. “The State of Texas has a duty to voters to maintain the integrity of our elections. As we work to preserve Texans’ ability to vote during the COVID-19 pandemic, we must take extra care to strengthen ballot security protocols throughout the state.”
COMMUNIST FRONT CORPORATION: GCHQ discovered ‘nationally significant’ vulnerability in Huawei equipment.
Investigators at the UK’s Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre (HCSEC) found an issue so severe that it was withheld from the company, according to an oversight report published on Thursday.
Vulnerabilities are usually software design failures which could allow hostile actors (in particular the Chinese state when it comes to Huawei) to conduct a cyber attack. They are not necessarily intentional and can’t be seen as an indication of any hostile intent on the part of the developers themselves.
Don’t trust China.
FARAH STOCKMAN: The Truth About Today’s Anarchists. “‘Insurrectionary anarchists’ have been protesting for racial justice all summer. Some Black leaders wish they would go home.”
HA, HA VERY FUNNY… WAIT, THEY’RE SERIOUS? Hollywood Wants Us to Bail Out Movie Theaters.

PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: Trump Eviscerates the False Narrative About His Proud Boys Answer to White Supremacy Question.

SPOILER: THEY WON’T. Why California Should Let Markets, Not Mandates, Drive Vehicle Choice.
CHRISTIAN TOTO: Hollywood’s Silence on Cancel Culture Censorship Is Darn Near Criminal.
Did anyone think it would stop with “Gone With the Wind?”
That movie classic got temporarily removed from HBO Max before it returned with a “warning” about its outdated content. Even the Blu-ray version of the Oscar-winning film now carries a “trigger warning” for those about to view it.
In a way, “Gone With the Wind” got lucky. It hasn’t been permanently yanked from public view.
At least not yet.
The same isn’t true for several Adult Swim shows. They’ve been “permanently retired due to cultural sensitivities,” Variety reports. Let that phrase sink in. Chances are we’ll be hearing similar verbiage in the weeks to come.
Read the whole thing.

Insanity Wrap needs to know: What should the New York Times say in a COVID-19 that shows Trump was right all along about travel?
Answer: Orange Man Bad, hater.
Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.
- This is CNN: Chris Cuomo lies for Andrew Cuomo even though Andrew was already busy lying for himself.
- The Media-Democrat love that dare not speak its name.
- Another George Carlin bit becomes real.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: It’s Time That Democrats Are Asked to Condemn Some Things. “It’s farcical that Trump is being forced to condemn the violence in America when most of it is being directed at him. In a sane world, journalists would be pressing Biden to disavow not only antifa, but the anti-cop, anti-American Black Lives Matter movement as well. Both groups have become threats to national security.”
