It’s a short work week upcoming – and you know what that usually means. So I think I’ll offer up a post while the getting is good:

The European Tour makes some great videos showing the players having fun with skills tests like this. Love the captain’s trash talking – he’s really good. Somehow I can’t imagine their American counterparts having fun like this. Maybe that’s why the Euros do so well in Ryder Cup competitions: like the commercial goes, they know a thing or two because they’ve seen a thing or two.

Did you see the video of this crash at the Macau Grand Prix F3 Race? It’s crazy. It’s even more crazy with the video slowed down.

This is such a sad story. And it makes me mad that a university would allow the kind of mob behavior that drove this professor to suicide. That something like this can happen in this country is disgusting, but that appears to reflect what our so-called “institutions of higher learning” have become. One can only hope that someday – and soon – people who are victimized like this begin to fight back. Because that’s the only thing the mob understands.

Goodbye, and good riddance. If she’s lucky she won’t end up in jail, which, frankly, is where anyone who not only is as corrupt as she is belongs, but one who uses her skin color to defend that corruption. Unfortunately, there’s many more like her (like the women yukking it up with her in the photo, to start). Funny how they’re all Democrats.

…and speaking of Democratic women, if you’re “San Fran Nan” Pelosi, one look at this Twitter post ought to tell you the challenge you’re going to have keeping your House in order and your party viewed as “mainstream enough” to be competitive in the 2020 presidential election. Sure, Pelosi is accustomed to running the House with an iron fist, but these raving, drooling progressives and their socialist agenda are now the darlings of the mainstream media, and they don’t care a whit about decorum and tradition. Personally, I hope they get all the press and all the attention they are seeking, because voters need to know exactly what today’s Democratic Party actually stands for.

…of course, while I don’t like Ms. Pelosi nor agree with anything she ascribes to, I respect her political chops and have to believe she’s going to nip this upstart moron’s ego in the bud. She really can’t afford open revolt in her party and harm its chances of winning the White House in 2020. These progressives are like a mosquito: they’re loud and obnoxious, but the fact is they’re still a very small (albeit well-organized) sect in today’s Democratic Party. In time, sure, they might become more powerful as their numbers increase, but that ain’t gonna happen in two years’ time. I would expect Ms. Ocasio-Cortez to be directed in no uncertain terms to go sit in the back of the House chamber with all her other progressive newbie friends and shut up and toe the line, or else. Speaker Pelosi is no dope, and she can make Ocasio-Cortez’s time in the House fairly miserable if she doesn’t learn her place, and quickly.

I’ll have more on the fallout of the midterms in my next post, but I think Larry Schweikart is pretty much on topic here:

Remind suburban white voters why they do not want rioting antifa fascists and illegal mob-caravans, and next time around these races won’t be close.

…recruit better candidates with an aggressively positive, populist message and see what happens. The GOP got ambushed in this election due to a combination of poor planning and historical trends, but I doubt they’ll let that happen again. Besides, with the Democrats taking the House in January, the country will have a full year and a half to be reminded why they gave it to the GOP in the first place.
