California's New Middle Class
By Guy Paul Nohra, Author of Not On Our Watch
How California's AI boom is reshaping economic security and raising questions about long-term fiscal sustainability.
Predictions of California's economic demise underestimate the
extraordinary wealth A.I. could create in the state. Despite serious problems
with homelessness, infrastructure, affordability, governance and regulation,
California retains one of the most powerful innovation economies in the world. But
that wealth has implications far beyond Silicon Valley. It may also be helping to
reshape what it means to be middle class in California. California may be
developing a new form of middle-class economic security, one built not
primarily through entrepreneurship, private-company equity or individually
funded retirement accounts, but through public employment, collective
bargaining and long-term benefits. The connection to California's technology
economy makes this particularly interesting. A.I. could create another
extraordinary wave of private wealth in California. [more...]
The Dangers of El-Sayed - What He Hopes Michigan Never Reads
By Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch, Conservative Therapist, Writer and Podcaster
Abdul El-Sayed wants Michigan to send him to the U.S. Senate. On the campaign trail, he presents himself as a capitalist, a physician, and a man with no affiliation with the DSA. But the record is more complicated. And with the race inside the margin of error, the record matters. Barack Obama is scheduled to campaign with El-Sayed in Detroit on October 24. The question is not simply what Abdul El-Sayed calls himself today. It is what he has said, whom he has campaigned with, which political movements he has worked alongside, what policies he has advocated, and how he explains apparent inconsistencies in his record. [more...]
NOTE: Rabbi Schonbuch has embarked on a campaign throughout
October leading up to the midterms. He will be in Michigan at the end of
October for in-person appearances alongside Mike Rogers. Rabbi Schonbuch has
been a driving force in NYC over the past year confronting Zohran Mamdani at
highly publicized rallies.
And now Fmr. Mayor Giuliani has embraced the Rabbi and this cause.
New Trump Admin Stats Prove Good Guys with Guns Save Lives
By John Lott, President of the Crime Prevention Research Center
The federal government consistently downplays evidence that armed, law-abiding citizens can stop public mass-casualty attacks.
Those who manipulate crime data can shape the political debate.
The Trump administration has reversed some serious data manipulation that
occurred during the Biden administration when it comes to crime. At the request
of gun control advocates, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
removed data from its website. The Trump administration has now restored the
data, but it went a step further, correcting an important error in the original
post. That correction is a major accomplishment.
But there are problems with data at the FBI and DOJ that still need to be
corrected. [more...]
Where Did All the Socialists Go?
By Todd Sheets, Investment Banker, Economist, Author of 2008: What Really Happened
Socialism is not just one of many ideas the Democrats have welcomed into their "big
tent;" it is the lifeblood and energy of the modern Democratic Party.
Margret Thatcher provided what may well be the best critique of their agenda: "The
problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's
money." To see what a once prosperous Western Democracy looks like when
it reaches that point, pull up an image of the rioting going on in France
today. Sadly, it is the intended beneficiaries of the socialist policies who
bear the brunt of their inevitable failure. If we don't act now, future
generations may well end up staring dejectedly at similar images from right
here in America. [more...]
Data Center Imports Push Monthly Trade Deficit to Another 2026
Record
By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America
AI data center demand for semiconductors, computers and telecommunications
equipment drove the goods deficit to its highest level of the year – coming in
at $136.57 billion for August, according to the Bureau of
Economic Analysis. To put that number into perspective, the revised July
goods deficit was $123.80 billion. The $12.8 billion August widening is an
import story. [more...]
The Statistical Gimmicks Hiding America's Homelessness Crisis
By Michele Steeb, Homelessness Expert
The official U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
homelessness count is 746,000 people. But the real number is closer to 1.5
million. Why the discrepancy? Because for over a decade, HUD has been employing
clever gimmicks that exclude hundreds of thousands of people experiencing
homelessness from their numbers. Now, HUD is changing course with meaningful
reforms. [more...] ...HUD's Homelessness Reforms Put Human Lives Ahead of
Housing Bureaucracy
