JULIE KELLY: The Midwest’s broken blue wall: Trump’s success story in the Midwest will be hard for Democrats to top. Well, they certainly had their own chance and didn’t deliver for these people.
THAT’S TRUE, BUT IT’S TRUE OF NEARLY ALL OUR POLITICAL CLASS’S POSTURING. Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘hate ban’ isn’t about safety — it’s about his own ego.
A GHASTLY STORY: An East St. Louis 8th grade boy, who was recently featured in Sports Illustrated as a potential NFL star of the future, has been killed. According to his mother, he was hit by a stray bullet when a fight broke out at a party. May God give her strength.
I’m not the type to believe that the police can do no wrong. But the notion that the police are the most significant threat to the safety of minority youths is very wrong. Crime itself is a much greater threat.

ANOTHER OPEN THREAD. You’ve pretty much got this figured out by now.
THEY’LL TURN US ALL INTO BEGGARS ‘CAUSE THEY’RE EASIER TO PLEASE: Democrats Want To Fight Poverty, but Don’t Value Letting People Work. “All the welfare programs California Democrats can dream up won’t do as much as some commonsense reforms to let people who want to work, work.” People who work are less likely to vote Democrat than people who draw checks. This isn’t rocket science.
WHY DO BLACKS AND LATINOS LEAVE STEM MAJORS AT SUCH HIGH RATES? The Washington Post considers several alternatives, but seems unwilling to face up to the possibility that mismatch is the root cause.
This is one of the few problems in the world that I can actually help fix. Alas, people seem to prefer to wring their hands and moan about micro-aggressions.

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN: Maduro government’s DC embassy staffers play Stalin worshiping Paul Robeson’s version “of the Soviet National Anthem in order to drown out Venezuelan opposition.” As Iowahawk responds, “Hey kids, instead of cosplaying brainwashed 1930s Stalinist totalitarian shock troops, why not try the rockabilly or swing scene? More fun, cooler style, better dancing and music, plus none of that embarrassing 100 million corpses thing.”
COURT ALLOWS INJURED LOUISIANA COP TO SUE BLACK LIVES MATTER AND DERAY MCKESSON:
This is some good news. A court in Louisiana has ruled unanimously that an injured police officer can sue the violent, racist group Black Lives Matter and its mouthpiece, DeRay McKesson, for causing his injury with its rioting.
The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled at the end of last month that an injured Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the police officer has legal standing to sue Black Lives Matter agitator DeRay Mckesson for the July 2016, protest in which the officer was injured.
The court ruled that in his role as a national spokesman for the dangerous hate group, Mckesson can rightly be blamed for riling local citizens to launch a protest to block traffic on a BatonRouge highway.
