KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: MSM Fact Checkers Are Paste-Eating Idiots, Exhibit A. “In a sane world, the presumption would be that a real fact checker would possess some knowledge that could be applied to his or her craft.

Then this could be very problematic for major US oil/gas assets in the region and comes at a time the Biden administration has drained the SPR to decade-low levels to crush gasoline and diesel prices ahead of the midterm elections.”

SHAKEUP: Kittyhawk To Shut Down.

Even as news broke that the decision had been made to cease operations of advanced air mobility (AAM) startup Kittyhawk, the company was advertising job openings in human resources, purchasing and engineering, and for a flight test engineer.

The company announced the decision in a LinkedIn post on Sept. 21.

It is the first major shakeup in the emerging AAM industry, which has attracted billions of dollars of investment and support from government agencies, ranging from city councils to federal agencies. Kittyhawk was ranked 10th on the Aviation Week/SMG Consulting Advanced Air Mobility Reality Index as recently as August 2022.

Kittyhawk was, per Larry Page’s vision, a moonshot, a make it or break it venture,” says Sergio Cecutta, a principal at SMG Consulting and the developer of the AAM Reality Index. “They went for a vehicle that would allow for point-to-point passenger transportation without any first or last mile multimodality. Heaviside was a product ahead of the urban air mobility market development.”

The whole industry is ahead of the market, if there really is one yet outside government-subsidized trials.

This is extremely frustrating, because by the time these students get to my course, not only should they be able to easily identify the Constitution, but it should also be seared into their minds.”

NYT: A Shrinking Margin.

Whatever the full explanation, Hispanic voters have moved to the right over the past several years. As a group, they still prefer Democrats, but the margin has narrowed significantly. In 2020, Joe Biden won the group by only 26 percentage points. And in this year’s midterms, the Democratic lead is nearly identical to Biden’s 2020 margin, according to the latest New York Times/Siena College poll — a sign that the shift was not just a one-election blip.

The problem for Democrats is that winning the Hispanic vote by only 26 points may not be enough for the party to accomplish its main goals.

What I’d like to see is GOP candidates more directly talking about Hispanic voters’ concerns and, better yet, going to Hispanic communities and doing a lot of listening.

A little listening goes a long way, and aside from Trump and a very few other GOPers, Republicans haven’t been good about going into Dem strongholds just to do some of that.
