Welcome to Wealthy Middle Eastern Thug Privilege, By Michelle Malkin
You've heard endlessly about "white privilege" from the professional social justice warrior gripers. But rarely does that crusading crowd -- or their spiritual leaders in the White House -- acknowledge the brutal impact of wealthy Middle Eastern thug privilege in America.  I'm looking especially at you, Barack, Michelle and Valerie Jarrett (who hosted Black Lives Matter activists at 1600 Pennsylvania last week). The latest case of WMET privilege involves a well-connected Saudi prince arrested on Wednesday after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at his $40 million Beverly Hills rental mansion. Witnesses reported seeing a bloodied woman screaming for help as she scrambled over an 8-foot wall surrounding the property.

Our weekly Trump Change survey has seen a steady decline in support for the billionaire developer over the past three weeks, in particular since the last GOP debate, as voters began to wonder whether there is any substance behind the bluster. Now there is.

Only 22% of GOP Voters Want Mitch McConnell to Stay - It looks like Republican voters are ready to clean house when it comes to the party's top two congressional leaders.

 

Kentucky Governor: With a Month to Go, Bevin Has Squandered His Edge: A Commentary By Larry J. Sabato and Kyle Kondik - For months we’ve argued that Kentucky’s increasing lean toward the Republican Party and the state’s antipathy toward President Barack Obama gave businessman Matt Bevin, the Republican nominee, a generic edge in the open Kentucky gubernatorial race. While Bevin is not a strong candidate, we thought that ultimately those inherent advantages — advantages that have nothing to do with Bevin’s campaign — nonetheless made him a small favorite over state Attorney General Jack Conway (D).
