TRUMP’S NEW AD FEATURES LOTS OF JOE BIDEN:

OPEN THREAD: Disport yourselves in the comments.

TRUMP RALLIES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE: ‘This is not the crowd that comes in second.’ “Polls show Trump losing the Granite State. . . . Despite the recent polls, Trump said he’s going to take the Granite State and return to the White House for a second term.”

Plus: “Sleepy Joe voted for NAFTA, which was the worst thing that ever happened to your state and all of New England.”

EXCELLENT ADVICE FROM AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD: Texas Passes Law Banning Californians From Voting After They Move There.

To the relief of Texans across the state, Governor Greg Abbott has signed a law prohibiting escaping Californians from voting after they move to Texas. Experts say this will prevent the happy and prosperous slice of heaven from sliding into the endless despair and crushing poverty of leftist policy.

“Yeah, all you weirdo Californians are welcome to partake with us in this blessed land,” said Chuck Dillon, a local accountant who dresses like a cowboy. “Bring your music and your little girly men and your avocado toast, but please leave your godless heathen communism in California where it belongs!”

As a long time resident of Texas who is (hopefully) grandfathered in, I highly approve this law, y’all.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): You couldn’t actually do that, which is probably too bad, but you can implement my Welcome Wagon proposal for migrants from blue states to red states.

If I were one of those conservative billionaires (hello, Koch brothers! hi, Sheldon Adelson!) who are always donating tens of millions to support Republican candidates, I think I might try spending some of the money on something more useful: A sort of welcome wagon for blue state migrants to red states. Something that would explain to them why the place they’re moving to is doing better than the place they left, and suggesting that they might not want to vote for the same policies that are driving their old home states into bankruptcy.

Would it work? I don’t know. But it’s likely to be more useful than money thrown down the political-consultant rat hole. And if nothing else, it might spread a bit of economic literacy, which is always in short supply.

And somebody really should.

NPR–LYING LIARS WHO LIE:

Really? Then how do we explain these NPR stories, which were not just unverified at the time, but turned out to be outright lies?

THIS IS CNN:

● Chaser: CNN: Online memes were a factor in drivers ‘attacking’ protesters in the street this summer.

Twitchy, Thursday.

● Hangover: Top 10% Of Twitter Users Create 92% Of Tweets In US – And 69% Of Them Lean Left.

ZeroHedge, yesterday.

Why, it’s like “Twitter sentiment is a Styrofoam iceberg. You may think 9/10 of it is underwater, but actually, 9/10 of it is visible,” to coin an Insta-phrase. Somebody should write a book about this stuff.

IN SENECTUS VERITAS: Joe Biden says he’s built “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Video at link.
