Arab racist Mehdi Hassan is arguing with black racist Brianha Joy-Grey about who hates white people and Jews more and who is higher on the progressive Attention Stack.

LOL: Politico's Propaganda Message of the Day is that we're currently enjoying a "dream economy" but the dumb voters don't appreciate it.

This is based on inflation dropping a tenth of a percent from August -- and being a tenth of a point higher than expectations.

Note that the cumulative effect of years of inflation now has prices 20%+ higher than they were before Harris-Biden "fixed" the Trump economy.

But the pace of inflation slightly fell, so prices aren't going up as quickly now, but are still going up from their already high level, and we're in a dream economy and you racists just won't admit it.

A couple of days ago, Trump announced a NYC rally to be held in Madison Square Garden.

A New York State Senator is using his political might to block Trump from speaking (in a safe environment) in New York City. I guess he wants him outdoors, with lots and lots of clear lines of sight for assassins:

Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal @bradhoylman

Let's be clear. Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939

. . . .

This is a disastrous decision by Madison Square Garden that will endanger the public safety of New Yorkers and has the potential to incite widespread violence.

For the good of NYC and its residents, I demand @TheGarden keep our city safe by cancelling the Trump rally

You're worried about violence? You're trying to create a good shooting lane for an assassin.

Walz, the Knucklehead, sometimes deals in crude Asian stereotypes but it's just because he's got so much "passion."

Andrew Stiles (not completely seriously):

Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, the serial fabulist running for vice president on the Democratic ticket, has a bigoted code name for his running mate Kamala Harris. During a friendly interview with Democratic fundraiser and former comedian Jimmy Kimmel on Monday, the VP nominee confessed that Harris was listed as "My Dry Cleaner" in his phone contacts. "They told me to come up with something, and that was all I could think of," Walz chuckled.

In fact, there is nothing funny about misogyny and racism. Walz's "dry cleaner" code name is problematic for several reasons. Harris is running to be the first female president of the United States, but Walz's word choice suggests that women are better suited for domestic tasks such as doing laundry or dropping off their husband's work clothes at the dry cleaner. Hey, Tim, the 1950s called; they want their small-minded gender stereotypes back, bigot.

Harris would also be the first Asian-American president in history. Viewed in this context, it is reasonable to conclude that Walz is vehemently biased toward non-white ethnic groups. The Asian dry cleaner is a familiar trope that only a passionate racist would joke about on national television. This might explain Walz's bizarre affinity for communist China. A devoted white supremacist with low self-esteem would presumably enjoy surrounding himself with members of an inferior race. A racist misogynist would presumably view Asian women as subservient sex objects.

He subheds his piece: #StopAsianHate.

Do Better, Chinese agent-in-place.

Hillary Clinton's latest "book" bombed harder than Jake Tapper's.

Diminishing Returns: Hillary Clinton's Second Angsty Screed About 2016 Loss Sells Way Fewer Copies Than the First Maybe now she'll finally go away (or at least accept the fact that no one cares) Simon & Schuster

...

Hillary has just written another memoir about how unfair it was that she lost to Donald Trump and why you still owe her an apology for being right about everything. Released last month, Something Lost, Something Gained: Lessons on Life, Love, and Liberty is a tedious slog through familiar grievances and blatant lies about her "thicker skin" and "stiffer spine." She lauds herself as "the first woman to win a presidential primary, the nomination of a major party, and the national popular vote." She remembers the good times when she "flew on Air Force One, dined with kings and queens, and was constantly surrounded by armed guards." She refuses to go away or accept the fact that no one cares.

You probably won't be surprised to learn that sales of her second angsty screed about losing the 2016 election are much lower this time around. Something Lost, Something Gained sold just 27,000 copies in its first week, according to an industry source. That's less than 20 percent of her "record-breaking" haul during the Trump administration, when trauma-brained MSNBC viewers were particularly ravenous for #Resistance slop. That's still an alarming number of copies--more than eight times the week-one sales for Extremely Online (2023), the fawning history of teen influencers by disgraced reporter Taylor Lorenz. But the trend line is promising.

Read our review of Hillary's new book if you'd like to know the unlikely name she's given her "postmenopausal belly," and other sad facts.

Oh boy you know I do! That review is here.

Hillary Clinton isn't going anywhere. Why would she? She was right. She tried to warn us. She was treated so unfairly. She deserved it; we betrayed her. We were sexist. We were duped. She was robbed. Putin, Comey, Facebook, Electoral College. The goddamned voters, man. Sorry? She's not sorry. She's still waiting for an apology from you. From all of us.

...

"These days, I find myself thinking mostly about the future," Hillary bluffs as she relitigates old grievances. "Time and so many battles won and lost have given me a thicker skin and a stiffer spine." How she really feels is revealed in the text. Her "pang of vindication" when Trump was convicted of paying hush money to a porn star. "A fraud was committed against the American people, against all of us," she bristles. "I would have won. ... Even now, just thinking about that moment makes fury well up in my chest." She's owed an apology, dammit, even if we don't deserve her forgiveness just yet.

...

When she's not moping about being right, Hillary tries to convince us she doesn't spend all her time obsessing about politics. That she's fun! You can imagine how persuasive this is. Several chapters recount good times hanging out with old friends who know her as "Big Girl," and her "postmenopausal belly" as "Beulah." (Don't ask.)

Oh I won't.

The Free Beacon has unmasked another woke DEI hire whose career, such as it is, is built on white guilt and massive plagiarism.

The dean of Michigan State University's College of Education, Jerlando Jackson, plagiarized extensively over the course of his career, according to a complaint filed with the university on Thursday, lifting text without attribution and raising questions about his fitness to lead one of the top teacher training programs in the country.

The complaint includes nearly 40 examples of plagiarism that span nine of Jackson's papers, including his Ph.D. thesis, and range from single sentences to full pages. It adds to the allegations of research misconduct already facing the embattled dean, who was a coauthor on several papers implicated in complaints against diversity officials earlier this year, including Harvard University's chief diversity officer, Sherri Ann Charleston.

"Jackson has failed all ordinary standards of academic honesty," said Peter Wood, the head of the National Association of Scholars and a former provost at Boston University, where he helped lead plagiarism investigations of faculty and alumni. "As long as he remains as a dean, the university has no legitimate basis to hold students and faculty to basic standards of intellectual integrity."

Michigan State University defines plagiarism as "copying another person's text or ideas and passing the copied material as your own." And Jackson--who can expel students for "academic misconduct," per the university's handbook--has a decades-long record of doing just that.

...

The allegations against Jackson come as teachers are confronting a wave of AI-generated plagiarism in student writing. Demand for AI detection tools has surged since the release of ChatGPT, according to data from the Center for Democracy and Technology, jumping by 30 percentage points in just one year and corresponding to an increase in student discipline.

That context makes the allegations all the more galling, said Steve McGuire, a fellow at the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, given that graduates of Jackson's program will inherit a plagiarism crisis with no precedent in modern memory.

"It makes a mockery of the whole enterprise of education to have someone who appears to be a serial plagiarist running a school of education, especially in an age in which teachers and professors are increasingly encountering extensive academic dishonesty facilitated by the rise of artificial intelligence," McGuire wrote in an email. "How can educators combat this very real crisis if students can point to academic leaders and accuse them of plagiarism too?"

Jackson and Michigan State University did not respond to requests for comment.

Hamas made one enemy too many: This time, they pissed off an LA restaurant owner who, if I understand his words properly, is connected to the "Albanian mob."

And he doesn't need the mob for back-up. He's got Mr. Left and Mr. Right with him at all times.

This bigot didn't enjoy the Cultural Enrichment of Arab invaders repeatedly slapping him in the face, I guess.

Do better, restaurant owner.

#DoBetter.
