JUST DESSERTS: Scott Pelley fired at CBS News.

Scott Pelley is a pompous ass. His firing is well deserved.

NO EBOLA ON AMERICAN SOIL: Trump opens emergency treatment center in Kenya to contain the spread.

Apparently Kenya objects. I guess they don't want ebola either.

I'm sure the Democrats are happy; they really, really want a pandemic in the U.S. in time for the midterm election. They tried monkey pox; it failed. Then hantavirus; it also failed. Now ebola is (almost) their last chance before the election.

NEWARK MAYOR IMPOSES CURFEW around Delaney Hall after clashes over immigration detention center.

It looks like New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill failed to 'calm things down' but I will give her this -- she did authorize New Jersey police to replace the ICE/Border Patrol agents who had been protecting the detention center.....

UPDATED: Police at New Jersey ICE facility arrest at least 20 agitators in another chaotic scene. Paid thugs. They should be jailed until their paymasters can be found, arrested, jailed, tried, and sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison without any chance of parole.

DON LEMON DISCOVERS RULES after a church service gets disrupted.

But, but ... he's a Democrat. Rules don't apply to Democrats. I'd like to see him tried, convicted, and sentenced to jail time. But that won't happen, so I'll be happy with having his 'journalist' card revoked.

JUDICIAL WATCH scrutinizes 873,000 inactive voter registrations in California.

Translation to the obvious: they're not 'inactive'; they're the Democrats' cheating reserve.

UPDATE: With the election in progress today you can count on the reserves being called into service within the next day/week/month or so as ballots are being 'counted'.

SHE'S CAUGHT THE PRATT! The audio works just fine, but the video doesn't. Nevertheless it's still good.

MAY ALL SIDES LOSE: The imminent Democrat party civil war.

LANDLOCKED NATION steps up to guard world's most critical oil choke point for U.S.

SOME SOMALIS ARE OUR FRIENDS: Breakaway Somaliland now challenging Iranian, Houthi dominance in Red Sea.

KURT SCHLICHTER: Savor our victory over the establishment.

HARD, VERY HARD, BUT POSSIBLE? Bringing back normality.

RANDOM OBSERVATION: Once upon a time, America's oldest apparatchik, Bernie Sanders, railed against millionaires. Now that he is one himself, he attacks billionaires and "oligarchs."

THE GREATNESS OF JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS: "It may well be the most vital and energetic explanation of the American founding since Madison, Hamilton and Jay collaborated on The Federalist Papers."

The link in the post is to text that is small and hard to read. I've been unable to find a readable text link, but a downloadable pdf is here. His address is also available on YouTube here but you'll have to skip through a number of advertisements.

SERIOUSLY? YES, SERIOUSLY: Tom Steyer vows to make women second class citizens when he's Governor of California.

Absolutely disqualifying. Why should young girls suffer injuries because they’re forced to compete against boys? Or lose out on medals and scholarships? This is peak beta male behavior. Tom Steyer is a clown. All that money and he can’t buy common sense.

To call Steyer a clown is to insult professional clowns.

FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures, my favorite this week:

Now go see the rest.

AND AWAY WE GO: Entering the Promised Land.
