"I was not genuine in my own beliefs," says 23-year-old Rikki Schlott in my new video. "I self-censored." Why? What did this college student believe that was so unacceptable that she felt she had to hide it? The fact that she's a right-leaning libertarian. "I was afraid to have Thomas Sowell and Jordan Peterson books on my bookshelf." If her classmates at NYU saw that, she says, she might have been "verbally attacked on social media, maligned as whatever 'ist' or 'ism' people might attack me with." So Schlott kept her mouth shut, eventually dropping out of NYU.

It's a safe bet that the residents of several Northern Washington communities are not voting for Joe Biden next November.
The Biden administration, apparently possessed by the spirits of dead grizzly bears, wants to go ahead with a plan to release up to seven apex predators in the Northern Cascade Mountain National Park every year for the next decade. It's hoped that there will be 200 grizzlies in the park by the end of the decade. Seeing a grizzly bear from afar is one of nature's most magnificent sights. But the 200 residents who crowded into a hearing about the government's plan to release the beasts
A Honest Reporting expose set the media on fire yesterday with the revelation that photojournalists working for the Association Press, CNN, Reuters and the New York Times had been embedded with Hamas in the Oct 7 massacres.
Four names appear on AP’s photo credits from the Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.
Eslaiah, a freelancer who also works for CNN, crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank, and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza.
That’s where entire Israeli families were brutally massacred. Hassan Eslaiah, who provided material for the AP and CNN, has positions that are pretty clear.
The Washington Post has taken down a political cartoon after readers wrote it to the paper to complain the cartoon was “racist.”
David Shipley, editor of the opinion section of the Post, wrote in a rather confusingly worded “Editor’s note” (behind a paywall) that the paper would “continue to make the section home to a range of views and perspectives, including ones that challenge readers,” as part of the explanation of why it was doing the opposite of that.
The cartoon, by Michael Ramirez, was preserved in a post to X by Daniel Draymann, the chief product officer at Agot AI whose X profile describes him as “Passionate about … everything Israel.”
"I can't believe those SOBs at Politico turned against me," I can imagine Presidentish Joe Biden seething this week. "I didn't do anything wrong!"
Politico has run a couple of tough pieces on Biden in recent days and, in general, the Infotainment Industry has been taking belated notice of the Biden Crime Family's various shell corporations, seven-figure paydays, and mysterious no-interest family loans. "Fresh revelations contradict Joe Biden’s sweeping denials on Hunter" is the screaming headline over a Politico report this week that contains nothing new — stuff Republicans have been talking about for years. That was Sunday. Wednesday it was "Biden adviser-turned-ambassador opens up on ‘scary’ 2024 polling."
A former MMA fighter sprung into action to take down a man who confronted him with a knife.
In a Miami parking lot last Wednesday at around 4 a.m. after going out during Halloween night, ex-fighter Javier Baez was confronted by a knife-wielding man, identified as 50-year-old Omar Marrero, while sitting in his car, he told multiple outlets.
Marrero allegedly hit one of Baez’s car windows before entering the vehicle from the driver’s side door in an attempt to cut him with the knife, according to Local News 10 in Miami.
Baez then tried to cool down the temperature of the situation while getting out of the car, but that’s when Marrero
Hillary Clinton trotted out perhaps the most played-out and predictable smear of all time for her longtime rival, Teflon Don.
Via The Hill (emphasis added):
Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the wreckage from another Trump presidency would be “almost unimaginable” and likened the former president who beat her in the 2016 election to Adolf Hitler.
In an interview on ABC’s “The View,” Clinton said when she was secretary of State, she saw people who would “get legitimately elected” and then would try “to do away with elections and do away with opposition.”
“You could see it in countries where, well, Hitler was duly elected, right?”

The House of Representatives passed a resolution censuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib for “promoting false narratives” and calling for the destruction of Israel passed the House handily yesterday by a vote of 234 to 188. The censure resolution is posted online here.
Tlaib promotes the destruction of Israel “from the river to the sea,” as the slogan has it and as the resolution points out (i.e,, the slogan is “widely recognized as a genocidal call to violence to destroy the state of Israel and its people to replace it with a Palestinian state extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea”).
Tlaib holds herself out as a courageous Palestinian Arab.
Can someone explain to the rest of us why the leaders of Hamas, the world's evilest terrorist organization which has just murdered 1,400 innocent people, are actual billionaires living their best lives in Qatar?
According to the New York Post:
While their people languish in poverty and are treated as human shields, the leaders of Hamas live billionaire lifestyles.
The terror group’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering $11 billion between them and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the emirate of Qatar.
The emirate has long welcomed the leaders of the terror group and installed them in its luxury hotels and villas

Last Thursday, over at X (formerly Twitter), the Real James Woods responded pithily to a longer comment posted by an account named “Denlesks.” Stated Woods:
Biden’s border catastrophe could well be the ruination of America.
Here’s what Denlesks posted:
Of all the bad things Biden has done the one that will bite us hardest is leaving the border unprotected. America’s next war won’t be in Ukraine or Israel or Taiwan. Our next war will be on American soil against the enemy soldiers Biden let into the country.
Denlesks needs to expand his horizons. The prospect is that there won’t be an either/or. Chances are, we’ll be slugging it out somewhere overseas
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) When I first became active in politics back in Olden Times, things weren't as, well, snippy as they are here in the social media meltdown 21st century. It was possible to admire what my foes the Democrats were up to at times. For example, they used to be great at playing the long game in politics. Republicans were reacting to what was hot in a particular election cycle, while the Dems were getting their pre-teens prepped for an eventual school board run on their way to Congress.
They've still got some of that going on, but the emotions for which Democrats
Bear, Delaware -- U.S. President Joe Biden announces more than $16 billion in new funding for rail projects on the Northeast Corridor while surrounded by trains inside the Amtrak Bear Heavy Maintenance Facility on November 06, 2023 in Bear, Delaware. Last week Biden threatened to veto legislation proposed by House Republicans for FY2024 that would cut Amtrak funding by 64% below the 2023 enacted level. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
President Joe Biden loves to tell a story of an Amtrak conductor he once knew even though it has been repeatedly debunked.
And on Monday, he told it twice — in an hour.
During a meeting with Amtrak workers,

The Justice Department on Wednesday announced arrests in a high-end brothel network used by elected officials, military officers, doctors and more.
“Three individuals have been arrested in connection with operating sophisticated high-end brothels in greater Boston and eastern Virginia. Commercial sex buyers allegedly included elected officials, high tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors, attorneys, scientists and accountants, among others,” the US Attorney’s Office of the District of Massachusetts said.
According to the DOJ, the following defendants have been charged with conspiracy
Honest Reporting broke a bombshell today: Gaza-based photographers who work for the Associated Press and Reuters were on the scene of the October 7 massacre in Israel very early in the morning, ready to capture the moment when Hamas fighters raped, kidnapped, tortured, and slaughtered almost 1,500 Israeli civilians. Maybe they heard about what happened and decided it was newsworthy, so they hustled on over. Or maybe Reuters and the AP are paying money to people who knew that civilians were about to be massacred and either thought, “Yay” or “What a great opportunity to collect a paycheck.”
Here's what Honest Reporting had to say:
On October 7, Hamas terrorists
Heavily Armed FBI SWAT Teams are hunting down a Trump supporter in the New Jersey woods like mass murderers who escaped prison.
The FBI and local police are hunting Gregory Yetman in the New Jersey woods near his home. The manhunt was first reported on Wednesday when local news media was tipped off during the raid. (Photo) From yesterday’s report–
The FBI was attempting to arrest Yetman and serve him a warrant for his actions two-and-a-half years ago on January 6, 2021.
Gregory Yetman, was a military police sergeant in the New Jersey National Guard at the time of the riot.
A Pennsylvania family the FBI raided last September over the father’s pro-life advocacy filed two claims today for a total of $4.35 million in damages due to the FBI’s unconstitutional, “malicious,” and “corrupt” use of “excessive force.”
Mark Houck and Ryan-Marie Houck say in their legal filings obtained by The Federalist that their seven children continue to suffer as a result of the FBI raiding — with battering rams, ballistic shields, armor, and long rifles — the home of a nonviolent pro-lifer who didn’t own any guns and whose seven children were just waking for breakfast. (snip) The FBI said they put their guns away once Houck was arrested.

Israel has agreed to put in place four-hour daily humanitarian pauses in its assault on Hamas in northern Gaza starting on Thursday, the White House said, as President Joe Biden pressed Israelis for a multi-day stoppage in the fighting in a bid to release hostages held by the militant group.
Biden said Thursday that there was “no possibility” of a formal cease-fire at the moment, but he also expressed frustration that it had taken so long for Israel to agree to the humanitarian pauses. Biden had asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to institute the daily pauses during a Monday call and said he had also asked the

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley opened up the third Republican debate by criticizing former President Donald Trump after moderators asked them to make their case to Trump supporters.
When asked to make the case on why he should be the GOP nominee rather than Trump — the latter of whom is wildly popular, leading in poll after poll — DeSantis immediately pointed to the “elites,” telling voters that they do not care about them.“They don’t care that you’re having to grapple with higher grocery prices or have higher gas prices. They don’t care that your family’s less secure because of the open border
After years of back-and-forth and speculation about where the new FBI headquarters will be located, the General Services Administration has confirmed Wednesday that a site in Greenbelt, Maryland, has been selected.
Last weekend, former Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod kicked the Democrat barn doors open, suggesting on X that it may be time “to change horses.” If that horse just happens to be former first lady Michelle Obama, America will be in for one hell of a ride. Knowing her potential to spark turmoil within the party, Axelrod hedged his bets.
“A lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict & Biden's team says his resolve to run is firm,” [snip] The “this” to which Axelrod referred was a poll showing Donald Trump leading Joe Biden by comfortable margins
It's no secret that many younger members of the Biden administration are not happy with the president's policy of demonstrating strong support for Israel. Dozens of State Department members signed a "dissent cable" taking issue with the president's decided tilt in favor of the Israelis.
Now, there's a growing revolt in the White House as many junior aides are griping about the pro-Israel bias of the president.
“It has created great moral anxiety,” said one senior administration official. “But no one can say it because we all work at the pleasure of the president and he’s all in.”
A Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader is backing former President Donald Trump to take back the White House in the 2024 presidential election.
Mark Fisher, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Rhode Island and founder of BLM Incorporated, said that he "personally" liked Trump before bashing President Joe Biden as a "deep disappointment" during an interview last week on The Kim Iversen Show, a streaming program on conservative platform Rumble BLM, a decentralized social movement focused on racism and other issues faced by Black Americans, is more often associated with the political left than the right-wing populist politics espoused by Trump.
After Ohio voters on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment protecting the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care, advocates on both sides of the issue are looking at how they can get support on 2024 ballots in at least a dozen states. Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had protected abortion rights nationally, voters in all seven states that held a statewide vote have backed access. That includes Ohio, where voters Tuesday enshrined abortion access in the state constitution.
