HILLARY’S DEPLORABLES: New Poll Finds That Hillary Supporters Are Pretty Racist Too.

FIRST JIMMY CARTER AND HIS KILLER RABBIT, NOW THIS: “Mrs. Clinton takes on a cartoon frog,” and James Taranto is there to observe every painful moment of the encounter — for the frog:

Poor Pepe! He’s just a make-believe frog, and he stands falsely accused of being ‘racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it.’ Which means that, according to the definition we set forth yesterday, he qualifies as a Deplorable. That meme [Trump adviser Roger Stone and scion Donald Trump Jr.] tweeted might have been silly, but damned if it doesn’t pass the fact check.

Heh. Read the whole thing.

GREAT MOMENTS IN JOURNALISTIC INQUISITIVENESS: I don’t want to see Hillary Clinton’s medical records, and neither should you.

I QUESTION THE PREMISE OF THIS HEADLINE: Hillary’s media is torching its standards to cover the election, Michael Goodwin writes in the New York Post.

Considering that we read earlier drafts of this same article in October of 2008 by then-ABC/PJM contributor Michael Malone and immediately after the 2004 election by then-Newsweek columnist Howard Fineman, what standards are left?

GOVERNING THE DEPLORABLES: “As distasteful and even as dangerous as I find Trump, Hillary’s ‘basket of deplorables’ comment to her Manhattan contributors reminds me that she is in some ways even more distasteful and dangerous, because she speaks for the Establishment, and all its collective power,” Rod Dreher writes. “If you are any kind of social or cultural conservative, or immigration restrictionist, and you think Hillary was not talking about you, but only the rough people, you had better think twice. She speaks for those who like to think of themselves as epistocrats, but who are really cognitive-elite oligarchs.”

THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER: State Dept sand bags and slow-walks document requests by Republicans, but it’s quick to respond when Democrats ask. Indeed. It’s part of a calculated –and massive– obstruction of justice operation run by Hillary. Obstruction of justice is the crime that drove Nixon from the White House.

Universities should not rely upon outdated standards of justice like "common sense" and "reason" when determining whether sexual harassment has occurred, the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights has announced.
