Priceless: As The Weekly Standard shutters Bill Kristol says "Onward"
Kristol, meanwhile, tweeted optimistically that “we have much more to do. Onward.”
Close enough.

Striking a blow for white nationalism on its way out the door, The Weekly Standard informs us Cory Booker is a lot more injun than Elizabeth Warren
See Cory Run:
The country’s racial history is an ever-present issue for Booker, one
of only three African American senators, but he wants to see his
complicated heritage as a source of communion rather than anger. Some of
his ancestors were slaves but several were slave owners—and one was a
Confederate soldier. A DNA test revealed that he’s 47 percent African,
45 percent European, and 7 percent Native American (which is about 70
times more Native American than Elizabeth Warren).

Brett Kavanaugh's pal was Mark Judge
The New York Times reported that the friend the woman alleged to be in the room with Kavanaugh was conservative writer Mark Judge, who attended Georgetown Prep with the nominee. On Friday, Judge told the Weekly Standard that no such incident took place. “It’s just absolutely nuts,” he said. “I never saw Brett act that way.” ... The amount of drinking Judge describes himself undertaking [at the time] might suggest that his memory of those days may not be entirely reliable.

The Weekly Standard's girly man way of calling Pat Buchanan a fascist without really calling him one
Here's the html:

Here's the actual headline:
Patrick Buchanan’s Strange New Respect for the Ayatollah
Here's the index of articles the way the girly men only wish they could title it, but don't have the balls to:

Cuckservative schizophrenia at The Weekly Standard: 27 antifa arrests for anti-police violence in Boston, but Trump still wrong
From the August 20th story here, which also misses the growing polarization between antifa and BLM:
The atmosphere of the counter-protest was not as violent as these sentiments. Nor, with the exception of the small antifa group, was there the whiff of militarism that leaks from the alt-right. So President Trump was wrong to characterize the crowd as “anti-police agitators.” ...
In the park, the counter-protesters divided into two camps. The BLM protesters gathered on one side, the socialist groups on another. Eventually, the antifa and the police got to grips. The Police Department tweeted a request that people stop throwing “urine, bottles, and other harmful projectiles at our officers.” Twenty-seven people were arrested.

P. J. O'Rourke discovers the limits of individualism, gets wet for (French) state capitalism
Arianespace.
Here.
When regular capitalism won't do, there's always the comparatively smaller French state capitalism:
"An individual could not build a rocket like these, no matter what his wealth or how much time he was allotted."
Hey, P. J., would it be too much to ask you at least to admire our own?
Yes, it would be from a frog-licker.

Camille Paglia crafts an anti-elitist zinger, aimed at our modern day Puritans, calls Comey an effete charlatan
From the interview here:
These elite Democrats occupy an amorphous meta-realm of subjective emotion, theoretical abstractions, and refined language. But Trump is by trade a builder who deals in the tangible, obdurate, objective world of physical materials, geometry, and construction projects, where communication often reverts to the brusque, coarse, high-impact level of pre-modern working-class life, whose daily locus was the barnyard. It's no accident that bourgeois Victorians of the industrial era tried to purge "barnyard language" out of English.

What P. J. O'Rourke doesn't get is that free individuals would never make babies without hormones
And they'd never make war, either. So O'Rourke's ideal libertarian world of individual freedom would die out first, from failure to reproduce, and then from war. Compulsion is inevitable. You know, like death.
Looks like we're well on our way.
Here:
And what defines a mob? Mobsters. That Cosa Nostra with its code of omertà at the Clinton Foundation. Those "Make America Great Again" Crips and Bloods wearing their colors on their baseball caps with brims bumped to the right.
We should be learning the value of individual liberty from the failure of the elites and the fiasco of their vast political power. Good things are made by free individuals in free association with other individuals. Notice that that's how we make babies.
Individual freedom is about bringing things together.
Politics is about dividing things up.
Elites would have us make babies by putting the woman on this side of the room and the man on that side of the room while the elites stand in the middle taxing sperm and eggs.

Math scores under Common Core in 2015 have fallen below the 2012 average
From the story here:
In math American teens rank 20 points lower than the international average—and 12 points lower than their own 2012 average. ... The trouble is that the standards, [Jon] Star [of Harvard] said, were designed with elementary and middle school students in mind: "It's not surprising that some of these interventions have had minimal to no effect in high school—because that's not really who they were intending to effect."

San Jose's mayor Sam Liccardo projects a safer city for Democrats only, not for Donald Trump and his supporters
An angry mob pelted eggs, tomatoes, and bottles at the [Trump] spectators—as well as the police, who tried (and failed) to maintain some semblance of order. Other Trump supporters were set upon and punched. One was left with blood streaming down his face. ... "At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign," the [Clinton Democrat] mayor said.

Limited government: One Supreme Court justice down, two to go
The wrong one is down, mind you, but the Founders' Court had only six members, not nine (eight) as now, according to The Weekly Standard in "Eight is Enough (for Now)".
A Donald Trump administration, in addition to closing the Department of Education, could easily save some dough and restore some probity to the court by not appointing a ninth justice, nor an eighth nor a seventh should the opportunity arise, er .... fall:
"An even-numbered Court seems to be more conducive to judicial restraint."
He'd just have to make sure to appoint if another justice with common sense dies.

Hillary Clinton doesn't have a Charlie Hebdo problem: The Neoconservatives have a pope problem
The Weekly Standard thinks Hillary Clinton has a Charlie Hebdo problem, here:
Clinton blamed an "awful internet video that we had nothing to do with" for the "rage and violence directed at American embassies." Clinton did not, in the course of her speech, defend the right to free speech. ... [D]oes Clinton see any difference between the blasphemous Charlie Hebdo cartoons and the blasphemous anti-Islam YouTube video?
All Hillary has to do is quote the pope:
"One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith. There are so many people who speak badly about religions, who make fun of them ... they are provocateurs. And what happens to them is what would happen to [my dear friend] if he says a word against my mother."
