We’re moving into the final hours of the 10th month of 2021, all but perched (at least figuratively) on the doorstep of All Hallows’ Eve night, best known as Halloween. And this year, RedState has kept readers up to date on matters — both controversial and kooky — that relate to the holiday on the political front.
For instance, my colleague Jim Thompson shared an urgent message Friday, for anyone who wants to snag one of this season’s Scariest Halloween costumes with his cartoon (see “Fauci Halloween Costumes: Reduced to Sell“).
Also, the Anti-Defamation League was out this year warning families about the harmful, racist messages they see in everyday Halloween costumes that many of us as children grew up with. And we turned out — well, not as bigots, after all.
Not to be outdone, officials at one Michigan public school district tried to instruct parents that it’s better if educators scrap Halloween in the classroom — for the sake of the children and being “inclusive,” you know. Must be contagious, because we also saw the same thing up in Seattle … at an elementary school.
As the nights get darker, is it possible to remember the joy and lightheartedness of Halloween? The answer is in my head!

Best girl dad Halloween costume ever. Or maybe it wasn’t Halloween in which case even more respect. pic.twitter.com/lJtbVFv2Zj

If you didn’t pick up on the reference for the costumes, it’s an adorable nod to “A League Of Their Own” — Dad is Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks’ character), the manager of the Rockford Peaches all-female pro baseball team, and the girls are some of the co-starring women ballplayers.
The user pointed out that it may not have any connection with Halloween. What I see is the group possibly getting into the spirit of the World Series (which may or may not finish up tonight in Atlanta; check out our Jerry Wilson’s coverage of the Fall Classic here, here, and here).
But, whatever the reason, it’s just a dad and his girls hanging out. C’mon, this really needs an adorable alert, right?
