Update: video of the brave woman who refused to fence with a Rando Dude

Podcast: CBD is joined by journalist and film critic Christian Toto, and Jim Lakely of The Heartland Institute. We discuss Hollywood's contempt for its customers, in particular the catastrophe of Snow White, and whether its failure is a signal of a sea change in Hollywood.

David Strom connects the Fiercely Heterosexual Cory Booker (TM) and his Theater Kid Energy to the Democrats' belief that they're all superstars who glow in the spotlight
They're always protesting using painfully bad dance numbers and song renditions. Which side are you on...?

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click:
I Can't Believe It's Not Bryan Adams Edition
Well I saw you on the avenue
And as usual you're with someone new
I guess there's nothing left for me to do but turn away
I'm growing tired of all your alibis
There ain't one you can justify
I ain't gonna take it anymore and I'll tell you why
You know, I wrote "I Can't Believe It's Not Bryan Adams" and then realized, "Wait, this is so blatantly a Bryan Adams-style song this might actually be a genuine Bryan Adams song, let me look this up." In fact, yes, it's co-written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. And I guess I would have realized that if I just watched the video, in which Bryan Adams plays guitar and contributes backing vocals.

Jason Statham's Working Man beat Snow Woke at the box office this weekend. The Chosen, a movie made up of three episodes of a show available on TV, almost beat Snow Woke too, cashing in $11 million over the weekend.

I't's time to let go. Actor Val Kilmer dies at 65. Doc Holiday in Tombstone was his ultimate role, but I'll always love his comedic turns in Top Secret! and Real Genius. RIP. [Weirddave]

Sen. Cory Booker Speaks All Night on Senate Floor to Protest Against Trump's Agenda So what! Apparently his beard has a date and he has nothing else to do. [CBD]

The Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters was firebombed early Sunday morning. The building was heavily damaged. The attackers also spraypainted "ICE=KKK" on one of the walls. [CBD]

Weekend nightcap. Boardwalk band plays Fleetwood Mac. [dri]

"We Got the Receipts" recaps some of the Tesla Terrorism the left has perpetrated the past week
Democrats plan a global terrorism campaign next week, Tuesday I think, called "Takedown Tesla." Democrat politicians encourage the violence and refuse to condemn it. Well okay, but if violence is approved for your side, it's approved for ours as well.

Flashback: Zombie Joe Biden's "Farewell Address"
Was this the worst speech ever delivered by a "president"?

I see the problem start I watch the tension grow
I see you keeping it to yourself

I see you reaching for something else

Podcast: CBD and J.J. Sefton babble on about the tempest in a teapot that is the Goldberg files, the economy, including tariffs, that is improving, deportations are lovely, Crockett2028, the deep state hanging on like leeches, and more!

I feel bad about this but I'm going to have to post about Rachel Zegler again...

The "Ghost Gun" case before SCOTUS: BONDI, ATTORNEY GENERAL, ET AL. v. VANDERSTOK ET AL. We lose... 7-2, and you can guess who the two dissenting judges are. [CBD]

Masih Alinejad "Where are @AOC, @IlhanMN, the left-wing activists who called me an Islamophobe, and the campus protesters chanting "I am Hamas"? The killers sent by the Islamic Republic to assassinate a woman on US soil were convicted in federal court, You're silent. Why?" [CBD]

Great interview of Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, and a close friend of Trump for 30 years. He explains the blueprint for Trump's financial transformation of the USA and how it really will succeed. I can't recommend this long video enough. [dri]

FAA Hiring Blitz Draws 10,000 Air-Traffic Control Candidates Wait a second... wasn't DOGE destroying air safety in America? We were told that by our esteemed media! [CBD]

Kaus' take is interesting enough (he thinks Bush tied, and therefore won), but he reports something I didn't catch: After the debate, Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said Cheney's daughter was "fair game." Fair game? Who was being attacked? (It was supposed to be a discussion of whether homosexuality is a "choice" or innate. Bush had said he didn't know.) ... The Susan Estricth strategy -- "it won't be pretty" -- is in full effect. More Great Stuff From Kausfiles: Kerry was puncturing the "hypocrisy" of Bush's position, as some Kerry defenders claim, only if the sole reason to oppose gay marriage is homophobia. I support the idea of experimenting with gay marriage, but surely it's possible to be a non-bigot and be reluctant to immediately tinker with such a venerable social institution.... Once you admit this possibility of non-bigoted reluctance, then Kerry's move looks less like hypocrisy-puncturing and more like a straight appeal to homophobia. As such, it does no credit to Kerry. ... Perilous race analogy: What if Kerry were debating a conservative on affirmative action, and that conservative had a black wife, and Kerry gratuitously brought that up in an attempt to cost his opponent the racist vote? Would Andrew Sullivan approve? I don't think so. ... posted by Ace at 12:02 PM Comments I thought that Bush had a small but clear victory in the last debate, but my opinion is irrelevant. However, I do not think that a draw goes to Bush, rather a draw goes to Kerry. Bush's disapproval numbers are too high. Bush tying Kerry, on top of his very poor first debate performance, may be giving undecided voters (the only ones who matter at this point) the ammunition they need to vote for Kerry. I don't see how a tie gives people who haven't decided a reason to vote for Bush in the current context. Posted by: Dave Pasquino on October 14, 2004 12:06 PM Ace, I think you hit on something about the Cahill "fair game" remark. She pretty much admitted that the "party of tolerance" has no compunction in brandishing like a cudgel, one of their cherished "oppressed groups" in an attempt to score political points. And may I add that they also use it to obfuscate their squishiness in respect to their own position on said group's needs. To hell with some innocent individual; the greater good must be served. To hell with some oppressed group, the party must regain power! Posted by: Bohemian Conservative on October 14, 2004 01:58 PM Imagine that it was public knowledge that one of Kerry's daughters had had an abortion, then imagine Bush trying to make a sympathetic political point about it. He'd be eaten alive. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on October 14, 2004 09:07 PM Post a comment Name: Email Address: URL: Comments: Remember info?	Now Available!
