Elon Musk@elonmusk. "There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down. Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later." I wonder if the intelligence agencies know anything about this? Althouse, Listening to the Musk/Trump conversation.... and Here's the recording of the Trump/Musk conversation?... And was it a true conversation? 

Insty, #JOURNALISM: THEY USED TO AT LEAST MAKE AN EFFORT TO HIDE WHO THEY WERE REALLY WORKING FOR.Stacy McCain at his substack, Born Lucky, is not exactly unhappy 'Censorship Voldemort,' R.I.P. "The ancient Latin adage, De mortuis nil nisi bonum (“Speak no ill of the dead”) is wise advice, but anyone who searched social media for Susan Wojcicki’s name on Saturday morning could discover how widely disregarded this advice was in her case." Althouse, "The New York Times editorial board will no longer make endorsements in New York elections, including in races for governor and mayor of New York City..." "...

Matt Vespa at TownHall hears Tim Walz's Commanding Officer Took to Facebook and Absolutely Destroyed Him. Ace, Walz's Former Superior: Yes, Walz Quit Because His Unit Was Deploying to Iraq, and He Went Over My Head to Get Someone to Approve the Breaking of His Contract "More of that Stolen Valor Garbage. According to Walz's Command Sergeant Major, Walz had signed a six year contract when he re-upped in the National Guard in 2000. When he was notified that his unit would be mobilized for Iraq, he put in for retirement, despite having two years left to serve on his contract. His superior denied his request -- so Walz went up to two levels of command above to get someone to grant his quickie retirement (and breaking of his contract). Why would someone let him out of the contract?" Streif at Red State, Tim Walz Mocked National Guard Troops As '19-Year-Old Cooks' When Refusing to Deploy Them in Minneapolis, video at link. From Twitchy, The Political Demise of Tim Walz Continues, New Document Reveals He Thought Bagram Was in Iraq. Steve Hayward at Power Line, The Typical Leftist Fantasy Life of Tim Walz. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair comments, "This can be seen very easily in the constant fabulism of Joe Biden, who constantly invented heroic acts because he lacked any in his real life. Fabulism isn't limited to the Left but it seems to have a much deeper connection to it, especially in the deluge of race-incident hoaxes perpetrated to advance Leftist causes." At the Babylon Bee, Tim Walz Clarifies That He Is Not Stealing Valor, Just Redistributing It. Capt. Ed, This isn't even satire any more ... but it's still hilarious.

At Alpha News, GOP leaders: ‘We warned Gov. Walz’ signing ‘jumbo omnibus’ bill was unconstitutional. Da Blaze thinks Republicans just dodged a killer ray-gun blast when Kamala picked Walz over Kelly.  

Stacy McCain rhetorically wonders Why Do Republicans Hate ‘Joy’? "One of the most familiar (and most annoying) games played by what Andrew Breitbart dubbed the Democrat-Media Complex is to engage in some kind of deliberate provocation, then to react with feigned shock and outrage when Republicans react to the aforesaid provocation. Republicans “pounce” or “seize” or “attack,” the headlines tell us, intending to shift our gaze away from whatever it is that Democrats have said or done, and toward the (allegedly unjustified) Republican reaction." At Spiked, Kamala Harris and the tyranny of vibes. "Harris and her online acolytes are the weirdest people in politics." From Da Caller, Harris Campaign Says Kamala Has Changed, But Will She Bring California’s Climate Agenda To The White House?, Kamala Harris Suddenly Knows How To ‘Fix’ The Border Crisis.

Striking that the Democratic ticket has literally no private sector experience." Political News Items shares Polls In One Place. Hint, it's a tie, now. Hat Hair's Dave Strom thinks The Establishment Are Fighting Like Cornered Rats. Well, they are.

As always with corrupt organizations -- discovery should be a blast. And if they destroy records and emails, even better. If Trump gets elected he can prosecute them and put them in prison." At the Free Bacon, How Many Laws Did You Break Today? "REVIEW: ‘Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law’ by Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze" Jazz Shaw thinks this might be The Worst J6 Sentencing Yet? Twenty years, "Earlier this year, seven people were arrested for attacking and injuring two NYPD officers in Manhattan. All of them were released without bail while awaiting trial and DA Alvin Bragg is reportedly seeking sentences of two to three years."

Althouse, "Flailing about for relevance since the legalization of same-sex marriage, many gay-rights groups pivoted to a related but fundamentally different cause..."
"... transgender rights. Rather than emulate the movement’s past approach—seeking allies across the political spectrum and accepting compromise as a precondition for legal and social progress—they have taken hard-line left-wing positions. LGBTQ groups repeat the mantra 'the science is settled' on the extremely complex and fraught subject of youth gender medicine and insist that anyone who questions the provision of puberty blockers to gender-dysphoric children is transphobic.... Meanwhile, LGBTQ organizations have slowly been erasing the people whose interests they were established to advance. Less and less do they even use the words gay and lesbian to describe their ostensible constituencies; more and more, they use queer, a historically pejorative term reclaimed by left-wing ideologues...."

Writes James Kirchick, in "How the Gay-Rights Movement Lost Its Way/What should activist groups such as GLAAD do after they fulfill their goals?" (The Atlantic).

  1. react with feigned shock and outrage when Republicans react to the aforesaid provocation.

    Which is just a slightly different conjugation of
    When the story is About Republicans, that's the story
    When the story is about democrats, the story is about how Republicans are responding.
