Riots & Revolution
Anarchy Reigns in Portland
Immediately upon taking office, President Joe Biden removed President Donald Trump’s designation of Portland, Oregon, as a jurisdiction in anarchy.
Corona Virus
Wait, How Many Coincidences Does the Natural Spillover Theory Require?
As we contemplate how the COVID-19 pandemic began, let’s add up all of the strange and unusual pieces of information that, in the eyes of the lab leak skeptics, are complete coincidences.
South Africa is trying to reverse engineer Moderna’s vaccine
One of the recurring complaints from the World Health Organization and activists trying to assist underdeveloped nations deals with the slow pace of distribution of COVID vaccines to nations with no ability to produce them for themselves. While tens of millions of doses have been sent to poorer nations by a number of countries (including the United States, China, and Russia) it’s true that more than 90% of the approved doses produced so far have gone to the more economically developed nations. With impatience and even anger toward the major pharmaceutical companies growing in some international groups, the World Health Organization is currently endorsing an unusual effort to allow others to take matters into their own hands. A laboratory has been established in South Africa where scientists are trying to reverse engineer the Moderna vaccine so they can produce it there themselves for the people of the sub-Saharan African nations. But will Moderna have anything to say about this apparent violation of its intellectual property rights?
Double down on double-double: California county shuts down another In-N-Out over vaccination mandate
Is this what a mandate is all about?* “We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” In-N-Out’s top attorney declared after Contra Costa county officials shut down their Pleasant Hill location. The company refused to check on COVID-19 vaccination records for people eating indoors, even after multiple warnings, and so health officials forced the location to close
Third Chinese city placed under Covic lockdown
China placed a third city under lockdown on Thursday to tackle Covid-19 numbers, with around six million people now under orders to stay home as Beijing chases zero cases before the upcoming Winter Olympics.
Huh: People with natural immunity were five times more likely to be (re)infected than recently vaccinated were
I know, I know. What about that Israeli study from August that showed natural immunity is way, way better than vaccine immunity? What can I tell you. Newsflash: Different studies can produce conflicting results.
Gun Rights
Ohio Panel Passes Constitutional Carry Bill
The Buckeye State is on the way to becoming at least the 22nd to recognize only the Second Amendment is needed to carry a concealed firearm.

Extinction Rebellion blocks traffic in New York City to make demands of President Biden (commuters are not happy)
We’ve seen lots of this type of “protest” in the UK lately but this morning Extinction Rebellion and the Sunrise Movement shut down traffic in parts of New York City including FDR Drive.
Taiwanosaurus Rex: Only you can prevent climate change
The UN has a new spokescreature for demanding action on climate change. This clip is part of a new campaign called “Don’t Choose Extinction” and features a dinosaur borrowed from Jurassic World and a score that sounds like it was borrowed from the Avengers. There’s no time to worry about plagiarism when the world is ending.

Twelve States Sue Biden over Title X Abortion Funding
A coalition of a dozen state attorneys general have sued the Biden administration over a new policy slated to take effect next month, which will allow abortion providers to obtain federal funding under the Title X family-planning program.

Gordon Chang: Joe Biden’s Taiwan Policy Is Now A Total Disaster

The Fight for Taiwan Could Come Soon
Beijing may think it has an opening to seize the island before the West’s military investments pay off.
Pentagon Official: Afghan ISIS Affiliate Could Attempt International Attacks within Six Months
Colin Kahl, the Defense Department’s undersecretary for policy, told a Senate committee yesterday that Afghanistan’s ISIS affiliate could have the capability to launch terrorist attacks on Western and allied targets within six months. Kahl also testified that it would take “a year or two” for al-Qaeda to once again be able to do the same and that the U.S. thinks the groups “have the intention” to carry out international attacks.
Remember Afghanistan?
One thing about news stories that reflect badly on Democrats: they generally disappear from the news quickly, and without leaving a trace. Like our departure from Afghanistan, an epic failure on the part of the Biden administration that resulted in 13 dead Americans (that we know of), hundreds of Americans still marooned in Afghanistan–assuming they are all still alive–and many thousands of Afghans, mostly unknown, in the U.S. or on the way here.
How Deeply Have the Chinese Communists Penetrated Our Institutions?
Foreign Policy is a liberal publication, but this article by Suzanne Nossel, the CEO of PEN America, a member of Facebook’s oversight board, and a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for international organizations in the Obama administration, is worth reading: “Chinese Censorship Is Going Global.”
In This Nuclear Arms Race, China’s Hypersonic Gliders Are a Wake-Up Call
Too bad we as a species don’t have the luxury of worrying about just one existential threat at a time. We’re already rather busy with one — a pandemic — and about to talk our heads off about another — climate change — at the COP26 convention in Glasgow. Now we’re also reminded of a third, nuclear annihilation.

Judge Rules James O’Keefe’s “Project Veritas” Is “Political Spying”
A federal judge has dealt conservative figure James O’Keefe a legal blow, ruling that his group’s undercover operations against a Democratic consulting firm can fairly be described at an upcoming million-dollar trial as “political spying.”
Chinese American Group Calls On Parents and Students To Opt Out Of “Totalitarian Social Emotional Surveys” In NY Schools
“We know school districts need to extract certain kinds of answers from our kids, to justify their Critical Race Theory (CRT) and associated identity pedagogies. For all these reasons, don’t consent to the surveys!”
Progressive San Francisco Prosecutor Resigns To Join Recall Effort Against Soros-Backed DA Chesa Boudin
“The D.A.’s office now is a sinking ship. . . . It’s like the Titanic, and it’s taking public safety along with it.”
Former DC Mayor alleged to have forced female police cadets to have abortions
Those of you who have been following D.C. politics for a while likely recall the name of Marion Barry. He was infamously one of the most corrupt individuals to rise to political power in a famously corrupt system. He not only became the Mayor of the nation’s capital but managed a second act after having been convicted in a crack bust and sent to prison. This week, in a bit of a blast from the past, we’re learning of even more darkness that took place during his administrations back in the 80s and 90s. Female police officers who were in training as cadets back in the day claim that cadets who got pregnant during their training were informed that they would need to immediately get an abortion or be washed out of the program. At least one was even given the name and address of an abortion provider and told to go “get the situation taken care of.”
The AAUP Comes after the University of North Carolina
The American Association of University Professors purports to represent the interests of the faculty, but, like almost everything related to higher education, it has been taken over completely by the far Left. The AAUP now represents the faculty the way the ACLU upholds civil rights — very selectively.
Novel approach to treating type 2 diabetes shows prolonged normal blood sugar levels after a single one-time procedure
A novel approach to treating type 2 diabetes is being developed at the Technion. The disease, caused by insulin resistance and reduction of cells’ ability to absorb sugar, is characterised by increased blood sugar levels. Its long-term complications include heart disease, strokes, damage to the retina that can result in blindness, kidney failure, and poor blood flow in the limbs that may lead to amputations. It is currently treated by a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and insulin injections, but ultimately is associated with a 10-year reduction in life expectancy.
Poll shows education is winning issue for Republicans
That’s the view of liberal Washington Post opinion writer James Hohmann. He bases this view on the findings of a survey conducted for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

“Justice was served today”: Loudoun rapist convicted in bathroom assault
Where does Scott Smith go to get his reputation back? And better yet, where do the Loudoun County Public Schools board members and superintendent go to have theirs stripped from them? A juvenile court convicted the teenager that raped Smith’s daughter after accessing the bathroom with a cross-dressing ruse and touched off a national controversy over free speech and parental rights in education
Loudoun County Forces Parents To Sign NDA-Style Form To View CRT-Inspired Curriculum

Huh: Republicans who doubt 2022 midterms will be fair are *more* excited to vote next year
Last week Marjorie Taylor Greene released the results of a poll she conducted in her district showing that five percent of Republicans there won’t vote next year if the state doesn’t conduct a forensic audit of the 2020 election. At the same time, WaPo reported that some Trump allies were lobbying the RNC to embrace his “rigged election” message, believing that it would be good for turnout. Rationally, that doesn’t compute; a person who believes their state’s election system is corrupt has less of a reason to cast a ballot, fearing it won’t be counted. In fact, Democrats might owe their Senate majority to that phenomenon playing out in Georgia.
Today’s Beltway whodunit: Which Senator “sexually assaulted” Huma Abedin?
This is no Agatha Christie story, but it’s likely to be a best-seller in Washington DC, at least. Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin has a memoir coming out next week, but the publisher made sure to leak this bombshell allegation to prime the retail pump for Both/And: A Life in Many Words. In it, Abedin accuses an unnamed US senator of forcing his tongue into her mouth in an office meeting that turned, well … gross

Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for other countries to support Taiwan’s participation in U.N. agencies, such as the International Civil Aviation Organization and the World Health Organization, in a statement yesterday. “Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN system is not a political issue, but a pragmatic one,” said Blinken, citing the country’s “world class?” COVID response and other accomplishments.
Finally — Alumni Groups Enter the Battle against Higher Education’s Degradation
Alumni groups have been mostly quiet in the fight over higher education. They have been MIA as the “progressives” took over their institutions and turned them into training grounds for activists who want to transform America. Maybe, however, that is changing.

Midterm meltdown? New poll puts GOP *up* three in generic ballot
Consider the source on this, but also consider that it’s not far off from other polling on next year’s midterms. The NRCC’s battleground poll shows Republicans now leading on the generic congressional ballot, a metric in which they normally trail even while winning significant seats. In fact, the gap in this poll mirrors the same gap found earlier this month in Quinnipiac’s national poll
NYC lawmakers push bill to create an official ‘drag laureate’ for the city: ‘Validate the art form’
America has come a long way in a short time. Forget Drag Queen Story Hour. Don’t give a second thought the Vermont high school’s homecoming game halftime “drag ball” for students and teachers.

The National Association of Scholars Creates the Lysenko Award
Trofim Lysenko was one of the ugly cast of characters who made the Soviet Union the hellhole it was. He was a pseudoscientist who had Stalin’s backing and used it to destroy anyone who dared to disagree with him. A perfect model for today’s “woke” academics who can’t tolerate dissent from their beliefs.
Broward School Takes Elementary Students To Gay Bar

Ground Zero in Loudoun County
Further to Paul’s post below, there are two new polls out late today showing Youngkin pulling well ahead of Terry McAwful. More to the point, last night NBC Nightly News ran a segment that is very nearly an in-kind campaign contribution to the Youngkin campaign. Since we and others criticize the mainstream media for covering the embarrassingly tiny Netflix “walkout” while not covering the student walkout in Loudoun County, we should note when in fact they do report the story straight
NAACP urges pro athletes to avoid signing with Texas teams due to the state’s ‘dangerous attacks on freedoms’

“His Claims Are Bananas”
The Wall Street Journal recently printed a letter to the editor from Donald Trump, and good for them; while it is in the best partisan interests of Republicans to give Trump as little attention as possible, the former president and potential future presidential candidate’s views are, by any standard, newsworthy.

How “Let’s Go Brandon” became code for insulting Joe Biden
When Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida ended an Oct. 21 House floor speech with a fist pump and the phrase “Let’s go, Brandon!” it may have seemed cryptic and weird to many who were listening. But the phrase was already growing in right-wing circles, and now the seemingly upbeat sentiment — actually a stand-in for swearing at Joe Biden — is everywhere.

Bond markets are indicating inflation could stick around for a while and that’s bad news for Joe Biden
Let’s just say up front that there continue to be conflicting signals about whether or not inflation is a very short term problem or something that might last a while. Just today, Goldman Sachs released a research note saying inflation resulting from supply-chain issues will continue into next year but will be on a steep decline and should be back around 2% a little over a year from now. But the alternative view, that inflation could be around longer is picking up steam and that could be very bad news for President Biden.

Opinion
Why is Biden so unpopular?
Harry Enten, formerly of FiveThirtyEight and now of CNN, takes up the question. He writes: “While the causes of Biden’s decline are numerous (e.g. declining trust of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan), perhaps the biggest one is that Americans believe there are big economic problems and that Biden isn’t focused nearly enough on them.”
