Flotsam and Jetsam - What is Plan B?

I said yesterday that I didn't think Nikki Haley's comment regarding anonymous speech on line was fatal, unless she didn't fix it immediately. In my opinion, she didn't. At Da Wire, Haley On Her Plan To Eliminate Anonymity Online: ‘I Don’t Mind Anonymous American People Having Free Speech,’ Just Not Foreigners. I don't see how that works.  At In The Mailbox: 11.17.23 in the Shark Tank, DeSantis Suspends Councilwoman Charged With Using False Address. 

John Sexton at Hat Hair is amused that The War in Gaza is Making Life Difficult for The Squad. Atop Da Hill, Michigan Democrats risk losing both Arab and Jewish voters as Israel divisions deepen. That's a problem when you cobble together coalition of people prejudiced against each other. As some point, that going to come out front.

And Now, a Few Words from Election ’24 from Victor Fernandez at Am Think "What if limited government and foundational principles like freedom, individualism, self-reliance, meritocracy, and the capacity for upward development are thwarted with callous and unsympathetic tyranny by an administration that cares more for its growth of power than the needs of its citizens? What is Plan B?" The Second Amendment? Breitbart worries Boston Democrats Look to Extend Voting Rights to Foreign Nationals, but really, can they do much worse than the Bostonians themselves?

Ace sees a Poll: Biden Lags Against All Major Republican Presidential Contenders "A Fox News poll. I don't trust Fox News polls... but they tend to lean Democratic, so maybe this is better news than it appears."

Ace again, Surprise! The Very Special Counsel Appointed by Biden to Investigate Biden's Mishandling of Classified Documents Won't Charge His Boss After All. "Wow, I was getting worried that Biden's employee might prosecute Biden like Biden's other employee is prosecuting Trump. I bet this was a very close call, based only on legal precedent. And a lack of "intent," obviously." From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 11.16.23, Jordan Boyd at Da Fed makes the obvious comparison, Special Counsel Lets Biden Off Scot-Free In Classified Docs Case While DOJ Tries To Imprison Trump For The Same Thing. And at In The Mailbox: 11.17.23 the Victory Girls: No Charges, Instead Joe Will Be Given A Stern Lecture About Classified Documents. 

From Fox, New York judge lifts Trump gag order in civil fraud trial over free speech concerns "Trump railed against his trial judge in a Truth Social post celebrating the ruling." Pour salt in his wounds. It doesn't matter, he would never find for you. At In The Mailbox: 11.17.23, At Twitchy, Just Gets Worse: Mollie Hemingway Drops Another BOMBSHELL About Judge in Letitia James Case Against Trump. I don't see anything new there. Sorry. Althouse catches Maureen Dowd worrying "If Trump manages to escape conviction in Jack Smith’s Washington case, which may be the only criminal trial that ends before the election, that’s going to turbocharge his campaign." I think, with this column, Dowd is doing exactly what Axelrod is warning Democrats against — "counting on Trump." Look at the polls. The monstrousness that Dowd presumes is so obvious is not stopping Americans from saying they'll vote for Trump . . .

Stacy McCain has a take on Pro-Hamas ‘Liberals’ and Other Thoughts on the Binary Nature of Choices. At Althouse, "What is happening at TikTok is it is creating the biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis." "Said Sacha Baron Cohen, quoted in "Jewish Celebrities and Influencers Confront TikTok Executives in Private Call/TikTok faces escalating accusations that it promotes pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel content.
