NO, THOSE NEW YORK HOMEMADE-VIDEO SITES AREN'T POPULAR BECAUSE OF POST-LIBERALISM
In *The New York Times Magazine*, Jody Rosen writes about some popular social media feeds that offer videos and snapshots of unusual, occasionally off-putting goings-on in the city. She notes the popularity of a recent video that has racked up more than 1.5 million views on Instagram. The eight-second clip shows a cockroach on a New York sidewalk, maneuvering a cigarette butt roughly the size of its own body into a small opening in a manhole cover. It’s an amusing spectacle that echoes the “Pizza Rat” video from 2015, in which a rodent was seen dragging a cheese slice down some sub... read more

Europe's failure to exploit its own natural gas resources
Thomas Lifson: This winter may see Europeans freezing to death, unable to heat their homes as natural gas supplies dwindle. Unemployment and bankruptcies will soar, as companies find themselves unable to cover their costs due to high energy prices. Germany’s vaunted chemical industry, heavily dependent on natural gas feedstock, is likely to wither on the vine. An economic and social disaster reminiscent of the 1930s is possible. The word “deindustrialization” is becoming real. And yet, as Bloomberg reports: Beneath the windmill-dotted marshlands of the Netherlands lies Europe’s ... read more

Border Patrol wives run for Congress to expose Biden's corrupt policies
NY Post: Living on the American side of the Mexican border can be chaotic and dangerous, as unauthorized migrant refugees — some 700,000 during this fiscal year alone — will go to incredible, even fatal lengths in attempting to cross into the US. For the men and women who work as border patrol agents, the out-of-control situation often creates debilitating stress. Now, three wives of border patrol agents are trying to do something about it by running for Congress in Texas’ Nov. 8 election. All are Republicans.

Burying Joe Biden's corruption with a Hunter charge
Andrew McCarthy: ... So here is the theater I envision: The Justice Department will announce a guilty plea deal to trivial charges. Hunter will emote his deeply sincere contrition. President Biden will beat his chest and say, “See, I didn’t interfere in any way whatsoever” (I doubt he’ll add “just like I never discussed my son’s foreign business deals”). And the Justice Department will convene the victory-lap press conference at which it congratulates itself for its courage and independence in prosecuting the president’s son, without fear or favor.

How Activists Are Making The Right To Housing A Reality
Apryl Lewis is in a housing fight — again. This time, she is pushing to keep dozens of families from being put out of a Charlotte extended-stay motel that is scheduled to be shut down in a matter of weeks. Such motels cost as much as $500 each week, expensive compared to long-term housing. But many of these families are living paycheck-to-paycheck or on fixed incomes, and have no other option. “They can’t afford the move-in costs for an apartment,” Lewis said. “Landlords want up-front rent and utilities and a security deposit. Now they are even making people pay for rental insuran... read more
What’s Behind The Escalations In Korea?
On October 4, in response to ongoing U.S. military buildup in the Pacific, North Korea fired missiles that flew over Japanese airspace — putting an end to five years of relative stability on the Korean peninsula. The United States responded by firing four missiles off the east coast of the peninsula. At the time of this writing, tensions will likely continue to escalate, but it’s unclear by how much. The U.S. action was taken in close coordination with the militaries of Japan and South Korea. In September the United States and South Korea began their first large-scale joint milit... read more

FBI and intel agencies accused of rigging 2020 election
Tulsi Gabbard: Leaks coming from law enforcement agencies are not good. We often see them happening in the lead-up to elections regardless of which party they are seeking to influence. Our law enforcement entities need to be apolitical so that we can faith in the rule of law.

Puerto Rico: A Microcosm For The Worst Kind Of Capitalist Ideas
Puerto Rico is in dire need of fuel for generators as they deal with the devastation of Hurricane Fiona. But a ship carrying fuel has been idling offshore, unable to enter a port, because it’s Puerto Rico, where the Jones Act—requiring that all goods be brought in on a US-built ship, owned and crewed by US citizens, and flying the US flag—makes critical goods more expensive, or in this case, out of reach.

Delaware Supreme Court blocks Dems mail-in vote
Daily Wire: The Delaware Supreme Court has blocked the state’s mail-in voting laws from taking effect. In an expedited three-page order Friday, the court, en banc, ruled that laws enacted by the Democrat-controlled state legislature and Democratic Governor John Carney earlier this year violated the state constitution. The ruling struck down a law allowing for no-excuse mail-in voting, and another law allowing same-day voter registration.

Biden's war on US energy
Colin Reed: If President Joe Biden was looking for a gift for former President Jimmy Carter’s 98th birthday, his mishandling of the OPEC situation sure fits the bill. For all the current administration’s shortcomings and failures, they have been remarkably effective at waging war on America’s energy producers. Everyone in America is paying the price – literally – and suddenly the Carter years are looking better in retrospect.

Inflation, crime issues favors GOP
Just the News: One month out from the midterm elections, voters have made clear that crime and the economy are the two most important issues to them, according to recent polling — and they trust Republicans more than Democrats to handle both top issues. The economy, particularly inflation, has consistently ranked as the number one priority for voters. A new Monmouth University poll, for example, found that 82% of Americans ranked inflation as an extremely or very important issue. The latest NPR/Marist poll likewise showed inflation continued to rank as the top issue voters say ... read more
Boxed Out: How Predatory Buying Is Killing Off Small Businesses
Walmart, Amazon, and other powerful, well-financed companies have captured control over much of retailing. These giants maintain their extraordinary market position not by competing on the merits of their service. Instead, they exert their power as dominant buyers of food and goods to bully suppliers, extracting discounts for themselves while forcing independent retailers to pay more. This is threatening those small businesses, wounding competition, and hollowing out communities large and small. It’s a monopoly tactic we call “predatory buying.” In this report, we examine the hist... read more
