TOWNHALL: Trump is demolishing Democrats.

FROM INSTAPUNDIT: Happy Columbus Day.

And when you think about 'Indigenous Peoples Day', think about Israel.

KURT SCHLICHTER: The well-deserved, utter humiliation of Palestinian terrorists and their friends.

'EXPERTISE' HAS DIED, AND THE EXPERTS KILLED IT. The foreign policy establishment and its 'experts' are in utter shambles.

They may have read widely but never personally done a damn thing themselves.

BELMONT CLUB: The irreplacibility of politicians (and educators).

If AI can replace doctors, coders and, now, actors, it can’t ever replace politicians or educators. The recent scandals involving school superintendent Ian Roberts and the catatonic performance of candidate Abigail Spanberger suggest it cannot be on account of their superlative talent. Some have fake degrees and mediocre intellects. The probable reason for their job security is that politicians and educators represent a class of occupations where competence is not a qualification. Therefore they are not in competition with AI.

Unfortunately, probably true.

BOSTON COMMON RIOTERS crying in their keffiyehs. Click on the link to meet them....

A FOOL’S HOUSE: Powerline's Scott Johnson explains why I no longer pay to go to any theater/concert venue.

The last concert I ever attended was one by John Denver in Austin, TX in the mid-80's. I loved his music, but in the concert he got on his environmentalism high horse and I've never attended any concert since. I pay to be entertained, not preached to.

SARAH HOYT has some memes.

I always wondered where Tuxedo came from....

That should be obvious....

ABIGAIL SPANBERGER [D] is running for Virginia governor as a psychopath.

She served 3 terms representing the 7th congressional district in northern Virginia. I don't think its any great surprise that the Washington D.C. metro area is chock full of psychopathic lunatics...

ANTIFA has awakened the sleeping giant.

I always liked the French philosopher Michel de Montaigne’s quote, which given the attachment of Antifa to our supposed institutions of "higher learning" seems very appropriate here:

I prefer the company of peasants as they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.

[T]here seems to be an inverse relationship between educational credentials and what we used to refer to as common sense.

Which should be obvious to any thinking American....
