‘LISTEN UP, JACKWAGON’: Sen. Ben Sasse [R-NE] lectures Democrats on civics during Barrett hearing.

Unfortunately he did it at a Schoolhouse Rock! educational level; the Democrats are (at best) kindergarten level.

HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY! Honoring an immigrant entrepreneur who risked it all to change the world.

Yes, it's satire. But as with all good satire, there is an element of truth in it....

THE TIMES, they are a'changing. Even some in the media are beginning to push back.

AND HE THINKS TRUMP WILL LOSE? There has been plenty of winning under Trump.

'Never Trump' Republicans should be kicked out of the party, and never be permitted to return.

From the comments, some principles for a real Republican party:

1. Maximum encouragement of a single national identity. The "melting pot", not the "salad bowl". You're either an American first, or a foreigner.

2. Pride in that national identity. We're Americans. We do Great Things because we are a Great People. Not plaster saints, but more on the side of the angels than the devils.

3. We support true free trade (that means the same rules going both directions) among peer states. Trade with non-peer states (that means the Third World) should be restricted, both to protect our own workers from being undercut (and thus pushed down in earning power) and their industries from not rising beyond making cheap consumer goods.

4. We support a strong national defense. We recognize that the world is a hostile place, and that a superpower cannot indulge in isolationism. However, we also recognize that our power is not adequate to solve all the world's ills. We fight for America's interests, not those of foreign lands.

5. We support laws and regulations that are few in number and clear in wording. The common man should be able to comply with both without hiring a lawyer to pick a safe way through the regulatory minefield.

6. We support leveraging the free market to drive down the cost of government services. This particularly applies to schooling, but can be applied to things such as health insurance as well.

7. We believe in personal liberty. Not "equality". Not "social justice". The freedom to excel, the liberty to do right in the manner that seems wise to you.

8. We believe in personal responsibility. This is the other side of liberty, the requirement to bear responsibility for what you have done. Harm others, and you will face punishment.

I hope to see that party, starting November 4th.

POWERLINE: How politicians lie. The same way as the media - bodly, badly, and easily.

BUT ONLY WOMYN OF A CERTAIN GENDER: Treat women equally by treating them differently.

IT'S TIME

for that one-word change to Nancy Pelosi's obsession.

IT'S GEORGIA, STUPID: Ossoff drops Second Amendment from Senate ad.

And I'm looking to add a shotgun to my collection....

KURT SCHLICHTER: the double-secret Trump handshake.

IT'S NOT 'PACKING THE COURT'; it's 'court reform'.

BUT, ... BUT CORONAVIRUS BAD! Liberal hotspot has seen four times as many deaths from drug overdoses than COVID-19.

Drugs, not so much....

POWERLINE finds another worthly candidate. I doubt Maxine Waters is beatable in CA-43 but she is so bad I'm willing to contribute to the hope. You should, too.

BALLOT SHENANIGANS: Another week.

If you're a Republican, vote on election day and vote in person. Don't give the Democrats time to find 'uncounted' ballots at the local cemetaries and homeless shelters.

BOLDLY (AND BADLY): How newspapers lie.

And easily.

I HOPE THEY'RE NOT USED: Take a guess what this massive Ruth Bader Ginsburg portrait in DC's new 'female empowerment' hotel is made of.

Or at least sterilized....

DO THEY HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON? Here's every protester who got arrested in Portland last night during their BLM anti-police march.

AMERICAN THINKER: The real cost of homelessness.

A message to LA Mayor Garcetti: this is how to get vigilantism.

AND EVENTUALLY PASSENGERS. U.S. Transportation Command to study use of SpaceX rockets to move cargo around the world.

HOW ABOUT FROM JAMAICA? Kamala Harris claims the Barrett hearings are putting lives at risk, will participate remotely.

Or India?

BOOBS! WALLA WALLA BOOBS! On Facebook!

Oh, the horrors....
