More college students favor socialism than capitalism, new poll finds | The College Fix

The results found that 67 percent of students surveyed held a positive or neutral opinion of the word “socialism,” compared with only 40 percent of respondents holding the same opinion regarding “capitalism.” - Simon Olech - Franciscan University of Steubenville

“Negative views of capitalism outweigh negative views of socialism by an even greater difference: 53% v. 23%....

Weighing in on the results, Axios’ Mike Allen noted: 

“The survey reveals Gen Z’s growing disillusionment with capitalism

• fueled by high inflation, 
• surging health care and housing 
• costs, and the 
• rising influence of billionaires in politics, tech and media.”...

'One of the biggest scandals in history': Notorious Obama judge who greenlit secret subpoenas targeting Republicans gets smacked with ethics complaint * WorldNetDaily * by Katelynn Richardson, Daily Caller News Foundation

'One of the biggest scandals in history': Notorious Obama judge who greenlit secret subpoenas targeting Republicans gets smacked with ethics complaint * WorldNetDaily * by Katelynn Richardson, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

"Judge Boasberg enabled certain facets of what may be one of the biggest scandals in the history of the country," the ethics complaint filed by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) and exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation states. "Weaponizing the DOJ to surveil political opposition not only violates the rights of the subjects of the investigation, but also the American people who were unable to know the facts of the investigation due to the secrecy of it."

They don't want to be Americans!

 

Almost feel sorry for Chuckie.

I suspect he never wanted to do the shutdown but was forced by the hyperextreme goons to completely overplay this hand. - Sev Onyshkevych

• They had no hand, period. 
• And they lack the sense of introspection to understand it. 
• Truly vile.

"Funny".

 

‘Shadow banking’ could lead us into an apocalypse like 2008

Alarm bells are ringing about the private credit market and ‘cockroaches’ in the system — the time to act is now - Chris Blackhurst
It was inevitable really. 

• After all, the banking crash of 2008 was 17 years ago and many of the main actors have left the stage. 
• The new generation cannot be expected to pay heed to the lessons from back then. 

The world has moved on, live with it...
This time the guv’nor is referring to “shadow banking” — the private credit market where firms of money managers, not regulated banks, lend money to businesses. 

The collapse of two US companies, First Brands and Tricolor, that borrowed billions via this route...
Andrew Bailey said the Bank took ‘very seriously’ the risk that the failures could prove to be a ‘canary in the coal mine’...

The Worst News Outlet of the Week - Who Dominated in Dysfunctional Coverage?

So once again, time to tug on the hip waders and begin the slog through the past week of reporting, and see which outlet distinguished itself on this flawed media landscape. - Brad Slager 

THE CONTENDERS

• CNN – After a report implying the FBI thwarted a terror plot in Dearborn that was just an innocent prank, the site took down its story after the Bureau detailed what was actually found.
• The New York Times – Attempting to prod more conservative divisions, the paper tried to elevate Nazi mouthpiece Nick Fuentes to Charlie Kirk levels of influence...
• ABC News – Mary Bruce downplayed the systemic murder of Christians in Nigeria...
• MSNBC – The expert panel on election night tried to sell the concept that voters were swayed by the White House ballroom construction...
• THE WINNER...

Glenn Beck's blueprint for true conservatism in 2026 and beyond | Blaze Media: 

Conservatism isn’t about reacting to the left, obsessing over policies, or worshipping the past. “It's really about principles,” he says. “And that’s why we've lost our way because we've lost our principles.”

So what are the principles that undergird conservatism?

Speaker Mike Johnson: This Is 'Beginning of the End' of Longest Shutdown in History

Speaker Mike Johnson: This Is 'Beginning of the End' of Longest Shutdown in History: 

“I’m thankful to welcome you to what appears to be the beginning of the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. As shameful as that is, I don’t think it’s coincidental,” Johnson said at the beginning of the press conference.

“It’s after 40 days of wandering in the wilderness and making the American people suffer needlessly,” he said, noting that finally some Senate Democrats have stepped forward to “end the pain.”

Trump taught Republicans how to win - Don Surber

After 40 days of slithering to the microphone each day with a new rant to an increasingly bored media about our favorite president, Chuck realized the futility of shutting down the government because all he did was anger the Democrat Party’s key constituent—welfare recipients—and leave helpless airline passengers stranded in city after city.

Trump meanwhile went about his life as usual, savoring every minute of his final presidency. 

• He went to Asia and signed historic peace and trade agreements. 
• He declared Columbus Day to be Columbus Day. 
• He brought Big Pharma officials in to announce they are cutting prices. 
• He golfed. 
• He threw a big dinner at Mar-a-Lago. 
• He paid the troops despite the shutdown.
• Oh, and he kept putting sombreros on the head of Hakeem Jeffries in pictures and videos... 

Trump gave Senate Republicans a tutorial on winning. 

They sat back and watched and took notes...
Trump used humor and dismissal to deal with Democrats. 

He granted the Cheeseburger Chef and his Sobbing Sombrero sidekick an audience. 

They demanded the repeal of the One Big Beautiful Bill. 

• Trump brushed it off because they forgot one small detail in planning their shutdown: Trump wrote the book on The Art of the Deal...

Learning Loss: Time to Stop Blaming COVID

Student achievement began sinking decades ago. 

A thorough overhaul should replace reforms that didn’t work. - Eric Hanushek.

• But while educators rushed to address COVID learning losses, few Americans grasped that their children had already been falling behind for almost ten years. 

By 2019, before anyone had ever heard of Wuhan, N95 masks, or social distancing, eighth-grade math scores had already dropped to levels not seen since the early 2000s. 

And the declines continue...
The decline in scores has also been accompanied by a widening of the achievement distribution: 

lower-achieving students have suffered greater declines than those at the top of the achievement distribution...

Gavin Newsom's divisive racial pandering * WorldNetDaily * by Kenin M. Spivak, Real Clear Wire

Gavin Newsom's divisive racial pandering * WorldNetDaily * by Kenin M. Spivak, Real Clear Wire: 

He opposed race neutral admissions to the California state university system (overruled by the people of California – twice), imposed gender and racial requirements on corporate boards (held unconstitutional – twice), required ethnic studies and ethnically dumbed-down math in K-12 curricula, and is carefully advancing a potentially multi-trillion dollar reparations plan for California's black residents.

Newsom's unconstitutional quest to curry favor with, undermine the confidence of, and potentially spend trillions of dollars on, California's 2.5 million black residents began in 2020 when he signed AB3121 into law. That act required the state to study and develop reparation proposals for black Californians, with "special consideration" for descendants of slaves.

What Can You Do If a Mob Surrounds Your Car?

Maybe Totally Legalizing Vice Was Not Such a Great Idea After All

Of course, vice invites corruption... - Kurt Schlichter

...and it’s now publicly infecting sports themselves (it has no doubt infected them for a while, with point shaving, thrown games, and the like). 

• It is also resurrecting the mob – I guess when the FBI was busy hassling moms for being mad about sex offenders in their kids’ locker rooms, the Mafia took advantage of the opportunity. 

The recent busts will be just the tip of the iceberg. 

Mark my words and move over, Black Sox – this will be a disaster for professional sports.

• Then there’s the vice of dope smoking...
