WE ARE ALL MINUTEMEN NOW. Don't poke the Momma bear. She has claws. Sharp claws.

HOW TO WIN: Mock them.

Read it all.

OBVIOUSLY: The Herschel Walker lesson is not what you're being told by the mainstream media.

SEX, BLACKMAIL AND VIDEOTAPES: Republican Congresscritter Lauren Boebert will be the real winner.

THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC) is forced to turn over 'V-Safe' program data.

'V-Safe' is a voluntary adverse reaction (to COVID vaccination) program sponsored by the CDC. It's not obvious whether the data gathered is meaningful in any statistical sense but the non-transparency is bothersome.

FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures, here's my favorite.

From my experience, I'm guessing he speaks about 100 times per year. That said, this week's selection is excellent with many, many good ones. Go see them all.

ENTHUSIASM FOR ESG (ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE) INVESTING is already starting to wane.

So, given that the progressives never give up, what will the next new name be?

AFTER THE MIDTERMS, we should add 14 days to the January 6 committee hearings....

KRUISER'S MORNING BRIEFING: Let's hope Joe Biden doesn't get the planet nuked for Christmas.

The “Biden administration” is a rudderless ship. There are consequences to installing an empty husk in the Oval Office and playing president by committee. This is an awful time in history to be waiting to see who pops out of the clown car to step up and attempt to talk Vlad out of going all boom-boom.

I'm not so sure the ship is rudderless; it seems to be heading straight for Armageddon.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS HEAD COACH: We don't look at color, we coach football.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS ARE INSANE. They want to expand child abuse laws to include improper pronouns for LGBT kids. More here.

Or evil. Or both.

I'M ALL FOR IT. Instead of a national divorce, how about a national backlash?

Starting Nov. 8....

RANDOM THOUGHT: The progressive Left reminds me of the blind leading morons through a corn maze having no exit

JUST IN TIME FOR THE ELECTION: Researchers say they have developed COVID strain with 80% kill rate at university in United States.

Let the lockdowns begin....

SO CAN I SUE ON BEHALF OF MY GRANDCHILDREN for the prosperity these assclowns are squandering?

Read the comments.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Biden and Democrats use midterm mass-distraction strategy to hide counterculture revolution from angry voters.

HYPOCRISY ALERT: Defund your police, not mine.

WHITHER TULSI? If the Democrats had a lick of sense, they'd keep Tulsi Gabbard and boot the progressives.

Hint: They don't.

COULDN'T HAPPEN TO A BETTER CITY: Texas votes to airlift Austin to California.

Yes, it's the Babylon Bee, but a few years back I worked on a heavy-lift airship project that could have damn near done it....

FALLING LEAVES 2022, WEEK 5:
