NJ and VA democrats aim for a factory reset
Fear and apprehension on the gubernatorial campaign trail.
Voters in New Jersey and Virginia will be casting their ballots for gubernatorial candidates in November. But beyond who ends up occupying the respective governors’ mansions, the Democrats are hoping to reverse a political optics disaster that has befallen them since Donald Trump reclaimed the White House. As such, it seems the candidates are looking to hit the reset button on the last ten years.
One might assume that Obama was the last president with a “D” after his name the way he is brought in to shore up Dem campaigns and send his extra-special message that if you don’t agree with him, you’re basically a bad person. Yes, he still has rockstar appeal to many on the political left, but has he really had success in bolstering failing candidates these last few years? Since Republicans control the trifecta, it would be hard to argue that he has had a major impact.
And yet, as the countdown to election day for New Jersey and Virginia runs apace, bringing in Obama is almost certainly a Hail Mary or kitchen sink strategy. Some even see it as an admission that the campaigns aren’t where they should be.
Spokesman for the Ciattarelli campaign, Chris Russell, described drafting Obama as a sign of weakness, saying: “National and New Jersey Democrats are in full-blown panic. At this point, we expect them to import anyone they think can excite Democrats because Mikie Sherrill excites no one.”

Maryland kept printing ballots for illegal immigrant Ian Roberts long after he moved to Iowa
Former Des Moines, Iowa, schools Superintendent Ian Roberts’ name remains on Maryland voter rolls, multiple sources said.
After his arrest late last month by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the nation learned that Mr. Roberts was an illegal immigrant and lived 1,000 miles away from Maryland.
How Mr. Roberts ended up on Maryland’s voter list has the makings of a scandal.
Election officials have clammed up.
The State Board of Elections statement didn’t specifically say that Mr. Roberts registered at a motor vehicle office but took pains to say that people who are automatically registered at the vehicle offices may do so “UNINTENTIONALLY.” The board used all uppercase letters for emphasis.
The board said an unintentional act wouldn’t be considered a violation but canceling the name improperly would be against the law.

Secrets, Surveillance, and Silencing Critics: The Dark Side of Medical Properties Trust
In a high-stakes battle to protect its reputation, Medical Properties Trust (MPT), led by CEO Ed Aldag, has been accused of waging a covert campaign to intimidate and surveil its critics. MPT, a multibillion-dollar real estate company based in Birmingham, Alabama, generates profits by purchasing hospitals and renting them back to healthcare providers. However, its aggressive financial ties with Steward Health Care, one of its largest tenants, have sparked increasing scrutiny.
This scrutiny, particularly from investigative reports by The Wall Street Journal, has raised questions about the company’s business practices, drawing the attention of federal authorities, investors, and media outlets. In response, MPT’s leadership appears to have taken drastic steps to protect its image.
Internal documents reveal a strategic partnership between MPT and crisis management experts—three PR firms, five law firms, and two private intelligence firms—tasked with silencing opposition. This covert campaign included intense efforts to discredit journalists and critics, even labeling them as "deranged" in internal communications.
The financial and political fallout from this crisis has been immense, with MPT's stock prices plummeting and lawmakers pushing for the "Stop Medical Profiteering and Theft (MPT) Act." The bill aims to curb MPT’s controversial business model, which critics argue contributes to the growing privatization of healthcare.
As MPT battles to maintain its hold over the healthcare real estate market, questions about transparency and ethical practices loom larger than ever.

Democrats enjoy their favorite pastime of holding all-white rallies
Democrats continued their long tradition of holding whites-only rallies over the weekend as hundreds gathered around the country to protest what they see as executive overreach.
"We love diversity!" exclaimed Sonia Williams, a white 64-year-old democrat from Virginia. "Just not if they think or act differently from us. If a black man says the same stuff I do and thinks the same way I do, I'd be happy to have him over for dinner any day. He just can't, you know, step out of line."
Democrats organized the white-only rallies around the country, showing up in droves to protest something or rather. Footage from the protests shows thousands of older white people marching and dancing to whites-only songs like "Imagine" by John Lennon and "Country Roads" by John Denver.
Organizers said they plan on holding more whites-only marches in the future to honor the traditions of their predecessors. "If blacks agree to do whatever we tell them to do, we'll organize separate but equal rallies for them," rally organizer Krista Van Belterson said. "They just can't attend our rallies. Ew."

Netherlands to send back to Uganda rejected asylum seekers
Dutch Migration and Foreign Affairs Minister David van Weel has told the Financial Times that his government will send dozens of migrants, whose asylum requests have been denied, to Uganda.
The Dutch government is preparing to send dozens of rejected asylum seekers to Uganda as part of an agreement that resembles a similar arrangement secured by US President Donald Trump with the African country in August, to take in rejected asylum seekers from the US, despite concerns over the plan's potential legal and logistical obstacles, the Financial Times reported on October 21.
Dutch Migration and Foreign Affairs Minister David van Weel told the financial daily that a "transit hub" in Uganda, where people would be deported could start operating as early as next year. He told the Financial Times that the accord was "in compliance with international law, with European law, with our national laws."
The minister stressed that human rights were a "central component to the agreement" reached last month with Kampala, adding that the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) had been requested to "manage the centers on the ground," according to the financial daily.
The minister also claimed that too many people stay in the Netherlands after their asylum requests have been denied and that the program is aimed at both solving such cases and acting as a deterrent.

Still no jobs report, but the labor market doesn’t look good
A friend called my attention to the job listing firm Indeed’s index of job postings. It shows continuing weakening of the labor market.
While all of us have been saying that we are in a low hiring, low firing labor market, where there is little job turnover, that has been true since the spring. What is striking in this graph is that the listing index continues to move downward. The index for the beginning of October was more than 5 percent below the index number at the start of April.
This means that, in order not to have a deterioration in the labor market, we would also have to see a decline in the number of people quitting or being fired of 5 percent. That could be the case; there was a sharp fall in the number of separations BLS reported for August in the JOLTS data. (We don’t have September data.)

Jen Psaki hits on Usha Vance, showed how Dems insult women
It’s open season on women on the right. Comments spewed by a star of the far-left information cesspool MSNBC stick out as nasty, sexist and utterly degrading. Not only to women, but to the men who love them.
Jen Psaki, who served as Joe Biden’s press secretary, took aim at President Trump and Vice President JD Vance during Tuesday’s episode of the “I’ve Had it” podcast. But she saved her most demeaning insults for Second Lady Usha Vance.
She asserted that Mrs. Vance, 39, mother of 3, was afraid of her overly “ambitious” husband, 41, who’s even worse than the 79-year-old Trump. She snidely offered to save the poor lady from harm secretly, so her husband would not detect the rescue.
“I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else,” Psaki sneered, as if Vance might be the first veep ever to crave a promotion to prez.
And this hypocritical, pampered paid talker calls herself “progressive.”

72% of gang-criminals in Denmark have non-Western background
A government report has revealed that nearly three-quarters of all people convicted under Denmark’s “gang section” are immigrants or descendants from non-Western countries.
The figures, released by the Ministry of Justice in response to a parliamentary question from Conservative MP Mai Mercado, show that between 2018 and 2025, a total of 213 people were convicted under Section 81a of the Criminal Code — a clause allowing courts to double sentences if an offense is likely to provoke gang violence.
The response, seen by Remix News, presents data compiled by Statistics Denmark and the Attorney General, showing that 54 convicts were of Danish origin, 36 were immigrants from non-Western countries, and 117 were descendants of non-Western immigrants. That means 72% of all convictions under the gang clause involved individuals with non-Western roots.
Researcher Lars Højsgaard Andersen of the Rockwool Foundation said that several countries — including Iraq, Turkey, Somalia, and Lebanon — stand out in the statistics, suggesting that cultural attitudes toward law and authority may play some role. Notably, Denmark’s population of foreigners and those with a foreign background only totals 15%, which makes it all the more remarkable that 72% of those convicted of gang crime have a migration background.
The new data arrive as the Danish People’s Party (DF) advances one of Europe’s most hard-line immigration platforms ahead of a general election expected next year. In its latest manifesto, DF pledges mass repatriations, citizenship reviews, and bans on Islamic practices, claiming that mass immigration from the Middle East and North Africa has brought “crime, parallel societies, and cultural change.”

German firms hire huge staff to meet bureaucratic requirements
According to a new study by the Institute for Labour Market Research (IAB), a unit of the Federal Employment Agency published on October 20, German firms had to hire 325,000 additional employees to keep up with bureaucratic requirements.
The total number of new jobs created in Germany since 2022 was around 550,000. This means almost 60 per cent of new positions were created to fulfil legal reporting requirements and other bureaucratic tasks – rather than work productively.
The burden has been especially heavy for small enterprises, which form the backbone of Germany’s economy. According to the IAB study two thirds of the bureaucratic positions were created by companies employing less than 50 people.
The sectors most affected by the additional bureaucratic burden were utilities, education and healthcare. Consequently, 55% of companies said that meant they had lost productivity.
The biggest single stress factor is the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Sixty-eight per cent of companies said it had affected them negatively. The second most unpopular bureaucratic measure are EU regulations on IT security (32%), followed by the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, which requires companies to monitor and report on human rights and environmental standards across their global supply chains.
The researchers concluded: “Reducing bureaucracy remains a Herculean task. However, it becomes all the more urgent as the growing administrative tasks increasingly become an obstacle to overall economic growth.”

Trump govt plans to move special education to different agency
The Trump administration is exploring moving the $15 billion program that supports students with disabilities to a different agency within the federal government as it works to close the Education Department altogether, a department official said Tuesday.
The effort comes on the heels of the agency’s decision this month to lay off the vast majority of employees working on special-education services and months after Education Secretary Linda McMahon talked about moving the program to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Her goal is to fulfill President Donald Trump’s promise to close the Education Department and move its functions to other parts of the government.
“Secretary McMahon has been very clear that her goal is to put herself out of a job by shutting down the Department of Education and returning education to the states,” Education Department spokeswoman Madi Biedermann said in a statement to The Washington Post on Tuesday.
Congressional action is required to close the department and to move its major functions to other agencies. But earlier this year, the Trump administration pioneered a work-around in which they signed an agreement to move career, technical and adult education grants to the Labor Department.
The agreement carefully sidesteps the statutes by having the Education Department retain oversight and leadership while managing the programs alongside Labor.

Tax the whites: Zohran Mamdani pitches race-based property tax rates for New York City
Front-runner and democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani said he would implement that proposal if, as polls project, he wins the Nov. 4 election.
Mr. Mamdani, whose agenda calls for free day care, free bus rides, government-run grocery stores and raising taxes on millionaires to pay for it all, said the city’s residential property taxes are inequitable. Homeowners living in neighborhoods populated by minorities pay too much in property taxes, and those living in wealthier, Whiter neighborhoods don’t pay enough, he said.
Mr. Mamdani, 34, said the time has come to “shift the burden” from the city’s outer boroughs to “richer” and “Whiter” neighborhoods.
He aims to end the city’s “unbalanced” property tax system, which caps annual increases at 6%.
If implemented, the scheme would result in race-based taxation, critics say.
“In America, we don’t tax people for their race,” said Curtis Sliwa, Mr. Mamdani’s Republican opponent. “Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax people based on skin color isn’t just wrong, it’s racism, pure and simple.”

These are the US cities where young Americans can still afford a home
Visual Capitalist's Pallavi Rao ranks the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas by the share of adults under 30 who have a mortgage, painting a clear picture of where today’s twentysomethings can realistically afford a home. The Music City’s housing-price growth has slowed from its pandemic peak, and a steady influx of jobs in healthcare, tech, and entertainment is giving young workers both stable incomes and loan approval power.
Indianapolis (8.4%) and Pittsburgh (7.0%) follow, proof that mid-sized metros with diversified economies and moderate price tags remain happy hunting grounds for first-time buyers. These leaders share several traits: median home prices well below the national average, shorter commute times that widen the geographic radius of affordable neighborhoods, and state-level programs that reduce down-payment hurdles.
Beyond the top three, the next dozen cities are heavily concentrated in the Midwest and South.
At the other end of the spectrum stand San Jose (0.8%), New York City (1.2%), and Los Angeles (1.3%). Sky-high property values inflate required down payments to six figures, while stricter land-use rules limit new supply and keep entry-level stock scarce.
Even Boston (1.4%) and Seattle (2.6%), cities with strong job markets, show that surging demand can overwhelm wage gains. This can and push homeownership beyond the reach of many young professionals.

1997–2025: when the west is distracted, China advances
For nearly three decades, the Western world has hardly had a calm time—terrorist attacks, wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, financial meltdowns, pandemics, and deepening political fractures. Each has seized the headlines, drained treasuries, and monopolized the attention of policymakers from Washington to Brussels.
Emerging Patterns: distraction windows: China’s boldest strokes cluster amid Western crises, from territorial grabs to institutional launches. Counter-cyclical advantage: when Western economies falter—think 2008 or 2010—Beijing expands, lending abroad or hoarding resources.
Institutional stress tests: as Wall Street wobbles or NATO strains, China erects alternatives, such as the AIIB, or defies rulings, such as those of The Hague.
Domestic consolidation: global uproar muffles internal clampdowns, from Xi’s elevation to Hong Kong’s National Security Law. Hedging and broker posture: in Gaza or Ukraine, Beijing plays the seemingly neutral broker, as with the Iran–Saudi Arabia deal.
A rhythm of 6 to 12 months: moves happen within crisis windows, not dragging into years. Sometimes, China acts just before the storm—the Olympics pre-Lehman, the Xi–Putin pact pre-Ukraine—and the distraction mutes retaliation.
Did Beijing foresee these events, or worse? Perhaps. We have no proof either way. But the CCP’s ceaseless boundary-probing pays off when the West is otherwise occupied.

Meltdown underway: democrats lose their minds over Trump 'demolishing' the White House
Donald Trump is currently "demolishing" the White House, according to numerous left-wing commentators and press outlets. Videos emerged on Monday of construction crews tearing down part of the East Wing facade to prepare the way for a new ballroom, which is being privately funded.
As I'll get to, the facts are far more boring that "Trump destroys historical White House," but that didn't stop the total meltdown.
Yes, nothing says "desecration" like not having to hold large events in tents anymore. I guess Barack Obama descrated the White House too when he built a basketball court. Jim Acosta joined the freak out as well, apparently unaware that nearly every president in history has modified or added something to the White House grounds.
What Trump is doing is perfectly within bounds. Lots of presidents have modified the White House grounds to make it more comfortable, luxurious, or practical. As expected, though, the press is spinning this as some kind of scandal.

'Absolutely appalling': How leftists puppet children for climate lawfare schemes
An environmental lawfare group that represents children and uses tactics some critics argue amount to "brainwashing" and "indoctrination" has drawn scrutiny for the way it integrates activist talking points into educational training materials.
Our Children's Trust offers curricula to teachers that introduces students to the mindset behind youth climate lawsuits, encouraging them to consider the dangers of fossil fuel reliance. Though U.S. courts have dismissed several of its cases in recent years, including most recently on Wednesday in Montana, the group continues to offer its curricula to minors and is now taking its fight against American fossil fuels to the international stage.
The group's social media often highlights minors' pleas for climate justice, which some critics argue is emotionally manipulative and fuels anxiety among children.

O’Keefe media group exposes massive $100 billion federal contracting scam
An explosive new undercover investigation by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) released Monday on X has blown the lid off a massive federal contracting scandal, a $100 billion scheme exploiting taxpayer-funded minority-preference programs under the Biden Administration.
In a shocking undercover video posted on X, OMG revealed how ATI Government Solutions, a federal contractor supposedly “Native American-owned,” admitted to exploiting the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program to grab over $100 million in no-bid government contracts, while outsourcing up to 80% of the work to other firms.
In 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration awarded a record-breaking $183 billion in federal contracts to “small businesses,” including those under “socially disadvantaged” categories like 8(a).
But as the OMG exposé shows, many of these firms are front companies exploiting racial-preference loopholes to funnel billions to private consultants and politically connected insiders.

German parents call for expulsion from daycare of AfD MP’s 4-year old child
A group of parents at a daycare centre in a major German city have petitioned for the removal of a four-year-old boy because his father is a member of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and sits in parliament.
The dispute reportedly began in September, when a number of parents communicating via WhatsApp discussed sending a petition to the daycare provider. They argued that the AfD MP’s views “explicitly oppose the goals” of the daycare centre, which promotes diversity and inclusion.
Messages seen by news outlet NIUS show that some parents called for the child’s removal with a “fair transition period”. They claimed the father represented “xenophobic, homophobic and pro-Kremlin” positions that were incompatible with the daycare’s values.
The daycare’s sponsoring organisation, a non-partisan educational body, responded by reaffirming its neutrality. “For us, the daycare centre is a neutral space in which children are always the focus,” it said in a statement. The provider also informed the supervisory authority and arranged supervision for staff, according to NIUS.
A parents’ evening was held a few days ago, attended by around 15 parents, three staff members and the AfD politician himself. The atmosphere was reportedly tense. “I am here as a father, not as a politician,” the MP said, assuring others of a “clear separation” between his political role and family life. He expressed concern that the controversy might lead to his child being ostracised.

The political economy of “make Argentina default again”
Donald Trump’s $20 billion bailout of Argentina will extend a failing model of dollar dependency and austerity. By shoring up Javier Milei’s government, it basically guarantees another default.
During the recent US government shutdown, President Donald Trump announced a $20 billion bailout for Argentina. The arrangement appears to serve as a personal favor to Argentine president Javier Milei and may represent an effort to internationalize the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement rather than a conventional economic agreement.
Far from stabilizing Argentina’s fragile economy, the bailout risks deepening the country’s dependence on foreign capital and increasing the likelihood of yet another sovereign default in the coming years.

Democrats’ shutdown caused risks for our safety
Democrats on Capitol Hill continue to hold the federal government hostage, bowing to the demands of their leftist base, wrote Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy.
Since Oct. 1, Senate Democrats have voted 12 times to thwart a budget extension that would reopen the government, demanding a $1.5 trillion ransom for their pet projects. To keep their allies in line, George Soros-backed radicals staged a nationwide block party Saturday.
Their Hate America rallies had everything — a teacher mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination, overt references to murdering President Donald Trump, demands for ICE agents to be “shot and wiped out,” even a topless purple-haired woman brandishing a “Free Luigi, Jail Trump” sign.
While Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries scramble to placate their base, our air traffic controllers are now in their fourth week of paycheck anxiety. If the Schumer-Jefferies shakedown continues past Tuesday, controllers will miss their full paychecks next week.
They’re already working overtime, managing the most complex airspace in America with outdated, dilapidated equipment — and now Democrats are forcing them to worry whether they can pay their bills on time.
But the position Democrats are putting them is wrong, and it will exacerbate the challenges facing our airspace today. More controller shortages will mean long airport lines, delayed flights, cancelled trips and increasing disruptions for the flying public.
Schumer and Jefferies see no problem with any of this. “Every day gets better for us,” the senator said weeks ago, as top Democrats pledged to keep the government closed until there are “planes falling out of the sky.”

West’s Suicide Pact with Nature: How Green Delusions Are Handing Victory to China
The post-war order of free trade is dying before our eyes—and perhaps that’s the best thing that could happen to the West. What we’re witnessing today is nothing less than a fundamental realignment of geopolitical power relations, where democratic states find themselves forced to adopt authoritarian economic practices to defend their own sovereignty.
But this transformation reveals a deeper cultural problem that has been decades in the making: Our civilisation’s inexplicable war against the very foundations that make modern life possible.
The European Union is planning measures that would have been unthinkable just a decade ago. Chinese companies will be required to transfer technology to European firms if they want access to European markets. Joint ventures could become mandatory, local sourcing quotas enforced—in short, all those practices about which the West has criticised China for years.
While Europe responds regulatorily, America is mobilising private capital on an unprecedented scale. JPMorgan Chase’s announcement of a $1.5 trillion (€1.29 trillion) Security and Resiliency Initiative over the next decade represents perhaps the most ambitious private investment for national security in modern history.
The human cost of this great power struggle is perhaps most visible in Germany’s automotive sector. The industry has shed 51,500 jobs in the past year—nearly 7% of its total workforce. Germany’s trade deficit with China exploded by 143% to $17.4 billion (€14.97 billion) in the first eight months of 2025. The symbolic reversal is striking: gold, not automobiles, has become Germany’s largest single export to China—to a country that once viewed German cars as symbols of industrial excellence.
We’ve declared war on farming, fertiliser, energy, and industry—the pillars upon which Western civilisation rests. Nature doesn’t want to live in harmony with us; nature wants to kill us, always and everywhere. It’s our ability to dominate and control nature that keeps us alive.
The most industrialised societies also take the best care of the environment, precisely because you have to sacrifice a small part of the environment to save all of it. But we’ve lost sight of this basic truth, choosing instead to embrace fantasies about pre-industrial life that would condemn billions to poverty and death.

Sanders attacks Dems for ignoring problems in US healthcare system
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that Democrats are failing to acknowledge that many of the United States' institutions — like its healthcare system — are "broken."
Sanders joined Jon Stewart, host of "The Daily Show" for a wide ranging discussion, in which he briefly gave props to President Donald Trump for acknowledging that the "system is broken" before ripping into the president for "making it worse."
But Stewart pushed back, calling Trump "the most socialist president" of his lifetime. Stewart said that Trump was actually in line with Sanders on some of his most key policies, pointing to Trump's launching of TrumpRx — a government website Americans' can go to to acquire their medications for the lowest price — and having the government acquire equity in companies when approving mergers like in the case of Intel.
"Is it frustrating that this thing that you fought for your whole career, Democrats are the ones who run away from scared, and he's embraced some of it?" Stewart asked Sanders. "Yeah, that's true," Bernie said in response. "All right, so what do we got to do? I mean, first of all, you got to acknowledge the bloody reality. The health care system is broken."
"It is a system designed to make huge profits for the insurance companies and the drug companies," Sanders said. "We have got to move to a Medicare for all — single payer program."
