THE GOVERNMENT’S WAR ON ELON
This ties in directly with the post immediately below about the Democrats’
attempt to punish McDonalds, because a McDonalds restaurant allowed Donald Trump
to do a campaign stop there. Elon Musk has emerged as our most important
champion of free speech, a concept that is anathema to the Democratic Party. Not
only that, he has actually endorsed Donald Trump for president, and has brought
his considerable skills and resources to »

NICE RESTAURANT CHAIN YOU’VE GOT HERE
Too bad if something were to happen to it. You can tell how badly Trump’s
McDonalds coup worried Democrats by the fact that they immediately threatened
the fast food chain. Senators Ron Wyden, Bob Case, and Elizabeth Warren sent
this letter to McDonalds CEO Chris Kempczinski:

it line by line, but here are some observations. The left-wing senators write:

NOVEMBER 5 BACKSTORY
Election Day, November 5, marks 15 years since the massacre of American soldiers
at Fort Hood. This event has meaning for the black men Obama is badgering to
vote for Kamala Harris as a matter of duty. On November 5, 2009, self-proclaimed
“soldier of Allah” Nidal Hasan murdered 13 Americans – 14 counting Pvt.
Francheska Velez’s unborn child – and wounded more than 30 others. One of them
was Sgt. »

LOOSE ENDS (266)
• This never gets old: The Left: Trump is a threat to the Constitution! Also the
Left: • The Telegraph today says that “burgerism is the new birtherism” and that
“Quarter Pounders are the new Swift boats.” I’m lovin’ it! From a reader: • Feel
the Joy: • How can you tell the Harris campaign is getting desperate? When they
take their previous racial pandering program, cross out “Black”, and substitute

THE DAILY CHART: FROM PROZAC NATION TO OZEMPIC NATION?
It was back in the 1990s that “Prozac Nation” became all the rage, as SSRI
medications were going to transform America. I’m not sure how that has worked
out, and there is clear evidence that higher rates of medication among liberals
hasn’t helped them. In any case, get ready for Ozempic Nation, as it seems the
rise of the new generation of weight-control medication may already be having an
effect: »

ELON AND THE SHARKS
President Trump is proposing to put Elon Musk in charge of improving government
efficiency, perhaps the most Herculean task ever undertaken by anyone. But Elon
may be up to it, based on his own encounters with government regulators. Here,
he hilariously recounts his efforts to convince federal regulators that the risk
of his rocket landing on a shark or a whale, upon re-entry, is not a serious
one: This story »

THE RASPBERRY STATEMENT
For the title of The Strawberry Statement: Notes of a College Revolutionary,
then Columbia University undergrad James Simon Kunen drew on comments made by
then Columbia vice dean Herbert Deane in an April 1967 interview with the
Columbia Spectator. Speaking about the role of students in university policy,
Deane commented that “student or faculty opinion should not in itself have any
influence on the formation of administrative policy[.]” He explained: »

CEAUSESCU SOLUTION FOR CUBA
“No power, no food, no medicine, no running water,” John notes. “So it always
goes in a socialist paradise.” That’s Cuba, a model for American leftists from
the start, despite a decidedly racist legacy. Cuba’s 800,000 African slaves were
more than twice the number in the United States. Cuba did not abolish
slavery until 1886 and there was no Cuban equivalent of the historically black
colleges in the USA. By some estimates, only one »

IS THIS THE VIDEO THAT SHOULD END THE CAMPAIGN?
Tom Klingenstein thinks it is. It features Brian Lozenski, whom Tim Walz’s
Department of Education appointed to guide the development of “Ethnic Studies”
curriculum that will revamp all K-12 public education in Minnesota. The problem
is that Lozenski, a Minnesota professor who is the national leader on Ethnic
Studies, is a far-leftist who has explicitly called for the overthrow of the
government of the United States. My organization, Center of »

MID-WEEK IN PICTURES: SPECIAL EMERGENCY BIG MAC EDITION
Scott notes below the statement from McDonald’s that while they welcome
President Trump’s appearance, they are non-partisan, and that they invite Kamala
Harris and Tim Walz to visit one of their locations, too. There is zero chance
Harris or Walz will take up this invitation, and not merely because they can’t
look like they are hopping to Trump’s tune or because they can’t compete with
Trump’s stagecraft. The real reason »

“WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT, IT’S REAL”
Jon Levine has the New York Post story: “Kamala Harris publicly agrees with
protestor accusing Israel of genocide: ‘What he’s talking about, it’s real.’”
What she’s talking about — it’s unreal. The imputation of genocide to Israel is
an Orwellian phenomenon. Israel has taken many excruciating losses because of
the IDF’s concern for innocent civilian life. WATCH — Vice President Harris in
response to a heckler screaming that Israel is »

THE MCDONALD’S FACTOR
In the classic self-parody supporting Kamala Harris’s alleged stint at
McDonald’s, the subhead on the New York Times story reads: “Donald Trump has
claimed without evidence that Ms. Harris never worked at the fast-food chain.
Her campaign and a friend say she did.” The story is attributed to two
reporters: Heather Knight and Nicholas Nehamas. It took two Times reporters to
pool their resources and come up with a lead »

NEWS FROM AN ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE
If you wonder how so many people can be blissfully ignorant of what you and I
consider basic factual realities, the answer likely is that they are getting
their information, not just from sources that disagree with us, but that seem to
be living in another galaxy. Take, for example, the stories highlighted in
today’s New York Times, as they appear in that paper’s morning email: So much

PODCAST, SPECIAL CLASSIC FORMAT EDITION: “AGENTS OF A HOSTILE FOREIGN POWER”
The news out over the weekend that Israel’s attack plans against Iran have been
leaked by our government and/or European governments ought to be a major scandal
and cause for a serious criminal investigation, but in fact the real story to be
followed may be much worse: is anyone asking whether Iran has penetrated our
government—either with spies inside our intelligence agencies, or agents of
influence in the State Department »

THE DAILY CHART: POLL VS. POLL
Trying to sort out the public polls on the election is a fool’s errand. If you
must, just go with the RealClearPolitics poll average, which will probably come
closest to the final result at the ballot box. People who are suspicious of the
big media and university-based public polls on this election are right to be,
given the anti-Trump error evident in the last two presidential election cycles.

FROM THE DRIVE-THRU
President Trump putting in his shift at a Philadelphia McDonald’s was a
brilliant stroke. It served so many purposes at one time. I’m sure I’m
overlooking a few, but a few themes that occur to me are: Pennsylvania, the
billionaire businessman who is a man of the people, and Kamala’s inauthenticity.
The Washington Free Beacon originally dug into Harris’s “I did fries” story in
an investigative piece by reporters Joe »

WHO’S ZOOMIN’ WHO?
One big weekend story suggests that someone inside the United States government
“leaked” intelligence documents — is “leak” the right term? — bearing on
Israel’s impending strike on Iran. CNN’s story describes the documents as
follows: They describe preparations Israel appears to be making for a strike
against Iran. One of the documents, which says it was compiled by the National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, says the plans involve Israel moving munitions »
