NBC Actors, Producers Protest Network’s Decision to Host Trump Town Hall at Same Time as Biden’s ABC Event - WSJ

the group said the decision to give Mr. Trump such a platform after his refusal to debate Mr. Biden is “enabling the President’s bad behavior while undercutting the Presidential Debate Commission and doing a disservice to the American public.”

A legitimate complaint would be that using the same time slot prevents Americans from seeing both candidates.

The whole promise of the Nest Protect is that it’d never just chirp at you when there’s a problem. It would use a nice voice to let you know exactly the problem.

It was a great promise, that turned into a lie last night at 11:15pm when it started chirping every 60 seconds. The sensors failed, over a year short of it’s life expectancy.

Facebook’s Conservative Emergency - WSJ

The censorship pressure against the company is about controlling political speech. Right-of-center sites have grown in popularity online as alternatives to mainstream news sites that have become relentlessly and almost uniformly left-wing, especially in the last four years.

Who’s Afraid of Amy Coney Barrett? - WSJ

The Senate confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett may lack for political drama, but they are still instructive. They are revealing the deep fault lines over the Supreme Court, and how Democrats view it as a mini-legislature to achieve policy goals, rather than a real judicial body.

Excellent analysis from start to finish.

“That’s a great question, Senator, thank you for asking,” she responded to one line of questioning as she chopped up onions to put them in her stew. “Sorry if I’m crying during my response – it’s just the onions.”

Beautiful afternoon walk.

Joe Biden on What Voters ‘Deserve’ - WSJ

He added: “Now, look, I know it’s a great question, and y’all—and I don’t blame you for asking it. But you know the moment I answer that question, the headline in every one of your papers will be about that.” Yes, it’s called news.

Kamala Harris Gets a Fracking Education - WSJ

The International Energy Agency earlier this year reported that the U.S. “saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis” due to a 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation and “US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt [gigatonne] from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period.” To sum up: President Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord and eased the Obama-Biden Administration’s economically destructive climate regulations, and the U.S. is still leading the world in CO2 reductions.
