{The Hill reports (here) the Dems are getting real worried that Trump will run in 2024.  One of our readers has specialized in telling all who will listen that Trump's candidacy would be a blessing for our Left.  He should provide his fellow ideologues a great deal of comfort if he would share his reasoning with them.  gjr]

    “A Twitter account appearing to also belong to Diana Toebbe shows her following various “resistance” accounts in protest of Trump, including the “Rogue NASA” account described as “the unofficial ‘Resistance’ team of NASA” on its description.
    One retweet from the account in 2017, just days after Trump’s inauguration, shows a photo reading, “To the rest of the world, due to an insufficient amount of moral courage, America is temporarily out of order. We hope to restore service as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we in the resistance movement join hands with those around the world who realize we are one people. May the forces of good be with us. #TheResistance.””

    ‘Weekly Roundup and the Harassment of Professor Kathleen Stock’
    “This attack on Stock is yet another unsettling example of how independent thinkers are subject to intimidation in today’s climate. The notion that biological males should not be allowed to enter female-only spaces was a widespread view a mere five years ago. Now, thanks to the speed of cultural transformation driven by social media, activist demands harden into orthodoxies virtually overnight. It takes brave professors of Kathleen Stock’s meld to stand up to them, not with force, or retaliatory intimidation, but with argument and deliberation. We owe her a deep gratitude.”

    Democrat News Network finally issued a clear retraction.
    ‘NYT Forced to Fix Claim 900,000 Kids Have Been Hospitalized with COVID’
    On Thursday, October 7, The New York Times buried a correction to a pernicious report that suggested 900,000 American kids had been “hospitalized” with COVID-19 when in reality it was around 63,000. But not only did the report mischaracterize those hospitalizations, but the report also falsely stated how Sweden and Denmark were distributing doses to young children and it also wrongly suggested child doses of the Pfizer vaccine would be ready by distribution in the U.S. this week.
    The entire situation was poetic because the “science” reporter who loaded up her piece with these false claims was Apoorva Mandavilli. She’s the same Times reporter that took to Twitter last May to say that the increasingly likely Wuhan lab leak theory wasn’t true and had “racist roots.”
    Unironically, Mandavilli was also “the 2019 winner of the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting,” according to her author page on the Times website. Adding: “Ms. Mandavilli has won numerous awards for her writing … Ms. Mandavilli has a Master of Arts degree in journalism from New York University…”
    The Times being the very reputable and honest “newspaper of record” buried the correction all the way on the bottom of the report, under ads for more of their articles, and no hint of it at the top of the webpage.
    According to the three-fold correction:
    https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2021/10/10/nyt-forced-fix-claim-900000-kids-have-been-hospitalized
    Well, if you are going to be off the mark, why not make it off by 4, 753%.

    ” It’s called Woke Cannibalism. ”
    The problem is that everyone gets eaten in the feeding frenzy.
    Of course, as Mr. Frisch opined, none of the things my lying eyes see are real.

    The thing is, it doesn’t take much of a crazy group to cause a lot of damage if they all pull on the same rope. Think of how few camp guards it takes to keep a batch of Zeks in check.

    “What would things been like [in Russia] if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there, paling with terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people?”
    “Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it’s coming from as it moves swiftly towards you.”
    “Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?”
    “To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he’s doing is good… Ideology – that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others’ eyes, so that he won’t hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors.”
    “To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.”
    …and finally
    “We didn’t love freedom enough.”

    Couldnt get much worse for creepy grampa joe and the socialists –
    On security matters: 54% prefer the Republican Party and 39% prefer the Democratic Party
    Largest GOP advantage since 2015
    * On prosperity: 50% prefer the Republican Party and 41% prefer the Democratic Party
    Largest GOP advantage since 2014
    While the Republican Party has historically been seen as the one better situated to handle security matters and the economy, Gallup adds some context for this latest bump: “More of this change has come from declines in Americans perceiving the Democratic Party as better on these issues than from increases for the Republican Party.”
    Gallup also notes that independents have a hand in the number:
    “Since last year, there have been double-digit declines in the percentages of independents who say the Democratic Party is better at handling the most important problem (from 42% to 31%), at keeping the nation secure (from 43% to 31%) and at keeping the nation prosperous (from 47% to 35%).”

    A 20-year-old girl, complaining about an Olivier film, has managed to get a renowned music prof suspended (but still employed at the Univ. of Mich). My guess, still employed for maybe another week.
    He said “Of course, time (sic) has changed, and I made a mistake in showing this film. It was insensitive of me, and I am very sorry.”
    Sheng addressed a second apology to the department in which he noted how after carrying out ‘further research’… he failed to recognize the racist connotations of blackface.
    After issuing 2 apologies, he was canceled. Conservatives just don’t go into attack mode often enough.
