Maybe floating a rumor about Maxine's birth certificate would help.

Rush Limbaugh isn't even in touch with today
Rush Limbaugh still isn't leading with yesterday's generic Congressional Rasmussen poll
Somebody call the guy and tell him Dems were +5 on the day of Ford's testimony, September 27th. That lead had totally EVAPORATED by October 4th.
Wake up Rush!

W-2 payroll data for 2017 just out shows huge slowdown to monthly additions from 2016
Monthly additions dropped from 227,000 (revised up 4,000) in 2016 to 160,000 in 2017 (figures rounded to the nearest thousand).
There were a number of other revisions to the data in this series of more minor significance (incorporated).
Total nonfarm December 2017 on December 2016 was up 182,000 monthly. The civilian employment level was up 149,000 monthly.
You know, Obama didn't follow the so-called Biden Rule in 2016, but Mitch McConnell sure did
You can listen to Biden in 1992, here, when he said Bush should refrain from nominating anyone if a vacancy occurred on the Supreme Court in that election year.
Biden also said the Senate should refrain from holding hearings on any nominee if Bush happened to nominate anyone anyway against this advice.
Well, fellow Democrat Obama ignored the Biden Rule in 2016, an election year, by nominating Garland, which goes little remarked.
But even more little remarked is that the Republican McConnell acted in agreement with the rule in 2016, and refused to conduct hearings on Obama's nominee.
The Executive and the Legislative act as they please in these matters, as is their right. They make their own rules, no matter how much the partisans of this world may try to constrain them.
Elections have consequences.

Real Clear Politics has Toss-Up seats down to 32 from 43 in the last month
Seats leaning Dem vs. Rep were 205 vs. 198 as of 10-9-18.
Of the 32 Toss-Ups, 11 are Open seats undefended by an incumbent (2 formerly Dem, 9 formerly Rep).
The remaining 21 are defended by Republicans but are too close to call as of 10-9-18. Retaining all those and losing all the Open seats would give Republicans a slim 1-seat majority of 219 to 216.
The damage done to conservatism by Conservatism Inc. is Orwellian
The very essence of conservatism used to be all these things, American culture, history, nation, heritage, family and faith, spokes on the wheel of its organic whole. But the libertarians have co-opted all that away and replaced it with an ideology of materialism which has erased the memory of it to the extent that the two, conservatism and libertarianism, are now indistinguishable in the popular imagination.

The "Conservatarians" are as condescending toward Trump voters today as Hillary's voters were yesterday
To Hillary, Trump voters were deplorables.
To conservatarians, Trump voters are the WrestleMania vote, the ignorant gulls who fill Trump's rallies around the country to this day.
Jon Gabriel of Ricochet and Stephen L. Miller count themselves conservatarians, here.
Like Frank Meyer's fusionism which tried to combine libertarianism and traditionalism, conservatarianism also conceives of itself as a libertarian mixture, but with social liberalism not traditionalism.
As such, however, this simply represents the failed status quo, which has been only too happy to use the traditional right at election time since Reagan but otherwise has paid but lip service to it once in power. Its main interest on the one side claims to be fiscal probity, but vainly imagines that its reprobate self even wants smaller deficits. Under Bush 43, debt to the penny soared from $5.7 trillion to $10.7 trillion. In truth, conservatarianism only affects conservatism. Its real interest is in Bacchus.

Hispanics and Blacks got all the jobs since 2007, whites got bupkis
Hispanic jobs are up 6.5 million, or 31%.
Black jobs are up 3.1 million, or 19%.
White jobs are up 1.2 million, or 1%.
That means over 60% of all these jobs went to Hispanics, 29% to Blacks, and 11% to whites. And they say the whites are the racists.

Erick Erickson: Trump is positively angelic compared to his political opponents and the press
But he repeats himself.
Here:
Trump is neither an ambassador for my values nor the articulate champion of my principles I would prefer. But he is a safe harbor in a progressive storm that seeks to both destroy my values and upend our constitutional republic. ...
The political press has behaved as co-conspirators with the Democrats in the Kavanaugh matter. They have clearly been fully co-opted. Reporters are planting their flags with the so-called Resistance and donning pink hats instead of defending truth and reporting facts.
There is much in the present political age about which I am uncertain. But there is one thing about which I am absolutely certain: President Trump is not my enemy, and too many progressives view me as theirs.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Democrats easily had stopped Kavanaugh had Senator Reid not deep sixed the filibuster rule
We'll see if Kavanaugh is truly the strong borders judge some have touted him to be.
Given the enthusiasm for him from the Bush camp, I'm not optimistic.
I would consider it a victory if at the very least Kavanaugh abandoned Justice Kennedy's radical libertarianism, but only time will tell.

Michigan's own Steve Gruber has an important story about contaminated water in the US
[T]he catastrophe brewing across the state and in waterways throughout the country will make the tragedy that took place in Flint seem minor.
Our so-called friends the Chicoms installed spychips on thousands of servers used by Apple, Amazon and a host of others
The chips had been inserted during the manufacturing process, two officials say, by operatives from a unit of the People’s Liberation Army. In Supermicro, China’s spies appear to have found a perfect conduit for what U.S. officials now describe as the most significant supply chain attack known to have been carried out against American companies.
Five year old girl in Georgia public school allegedly sexually assaulted by gender fluid boy under Obama bathroom policy

FBI lawyer James Baker met with law firm paid by DNC to compile dossier, in 2016 before securing FISA warrant against Trump
It means the FBI had good reason to suspect the dossier was connected to the DNC’s main law firm and was the product of a Democratic opposition-research effort to defeat Trump — yet failed to disclose that information to the FISA court in October 2016, when the bureau applied for a FISA warrant to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
“This is a bombshell that unequivocally shows the real collusion was between the FBI and Donald Trump’s opposition — the DNC, Hillary and a Trump-hating British intel officer — to hijack the election, rather than some conspiracy between Putin and Trump,” a knowledgeable source told me.
