SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET: 

HOW JUICY – FROM AMERICAN ACTION NEWS:   John David Rice-Cameron – the son of Susan Rice – is a proud Trump supporter and president of the Stanford University College Republicans, who finds himself pressing charges against a liberal student who reportedly attacked him during a pro-Brett Kavanaugh rally.  Fox News reports:  "Rice-Cameron is the son of controversial Obama administration official Susan Rice, who is rumored to be considering a run against Susan Collins, R-Maine, following her support in the Senate for confirmation of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. But on the other side of the aisle on the Left Coast, her son is busy working to 'Make Stanford Great Again' as an outspoken supporter of President Trump and conservative values.  While one student was arrested for battery, other students were caught on camera ripping up College Republican signs supporting Kavanaugh at their 'Change My Mind' table.  'Nobody should be assaulted on campus, under any circumstances,' Rice-Cameron told the Stanford Daily.  A student was placed under a private-person arrest and issued a citation for battery in response to Rice-Cameron’s allegations, according to Stanford Department of Public Safety spokesman Bill Larson.  Susan Rice, call home. And don't tell us a video caused this.

UTTERLY DISGRACEFUL – FROM BREITBART:  CNN is being accused of racism after commentators Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer bashed rapper Kanye West over his support for Trump on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, going so far as to call him a “token negro.”  “Kanye West is what happens when negroes don’t read,” CNN commentator Bakari Sellers said, in reference to an old Chris Rock bit.  CNN’s Tara Setmayer went even further, calling Kanye West a “an attention whore like the president.”
“He’s all of a sudden now the model spokesperson—he’s the token Negro of the Trump Administration?” she also said.  Don Lemon laughed and giggled throughout the segment as the two commentators degraded Kanye West.  Don Lemon should be suspended, but won't be.  The others should be disinvited from appearing on CNN, but won't be.  How low does CNN intend to get?

SMUGGLING GOES LUXURY – FROM ABC 30:   U.S. and Mexican authorities uncovered an incomplete, solar-powered tunnel connecting the two countries in a remote area east of San Diego.  Border Patrol says the 600-foot long passage led into the small California town of Jacumba.  The tunnel had solar-powered lighting and a ventilation system.  It was also lined with a rail system that ran the entire length of the tunnel and had two sump pumps.  Mexican authorities discovered the tunnel back on September 19.  Officials have found many cross-border tunnels often incomplete.  They say the passages are often used to smuggle drugs from Mexico to the U.S.  I wonder if the train had a dining car.
