Poor New Mexico. Your Soros-backed AG sees suing oil, gas, and tech as a way to land his next job. But scaring off investment will make it harder for everyday New Mexicans to land theirs.

French riot organizers helpfully map out the stores to loot. If only France had police who could stop them.

New York Democrats are now bought and paid for by the Sports betting super pacs. Gov Hochul and AG Letitia actions in office are clearly aiming to tip the scales in favor of industry that owns them now.
BREAKING: DraftKings and FanDuel backed interests are pouring millions into New York politics. Sports betting-backed super PACs have spent nearly $8.3 million this year, including $1.7 million to PACs backing Hochul and Letitia James. Money talks and they have a lot of it.

Why, yes, the polls are fake šŸ¤—
Wow. Wedgewood Polls just released a bombshell. Westwood was created as a hoax to expose how bankrupt the polling industry is. Its fake election polls were cited by the New York Times, FiftyPlusOne, and MSNOW. There was no vetting. Its polls were complete fabrications.

ā€œSydney Sweeneyā€ makes the case for Voter ID.
Prop 39 released a new ad today highlighting what politicians don’t want you to know: California is one of a handful of states that don’t require a photo ID to vote. Prop 39 is a battle of politicians versus people. Politicians want you to vote no. The People are voting yes. This ad is a parody, but the problem is not. The politicians want to protect their power and money. We want to give it back to you. Vote Yes on Prop 39. Donate: efundraisingconnections.com/…

Bukele promises to send military to wipe out Haitian gangs if kidnapped Salvadoreans not returned. Meanwhile France can't stop rioters stripping 80-year-olds naked in the middle of Paris. Disorder is a choice.
BREAKING: Bukele announces that El Salvador is launching a military operation in Haiti against the gangs. The goal is to free 4 Salvadoran citizens kidnapped by the Haitian gangs. Bukele threatens that El Salvador will eradicate the Haitian gangs if they hurt the kidnapped men: ā€œTo the gang leaders and gang members holding our four compatriots hostage in Haiti: Our kidnapped men are not combatants. They are aviation technicians who are part of our mission in Haiti, within the framework of an international mission. Our mission consists only of pilots and technical personnel, whose primary job is to carry out medical evacuations and save lives, not to wage war. However, they were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area. That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm. However, I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive. And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too. We still have time to avoid this. Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping. The decision is in your handsā€

The price of a prediction market contract is a live estimate of how likely something is to happen. When enough people trade, the market combines what all of them know into one number, the same way a wheat future or a Treasury yield works.

Cheap energy is the cheese in Democrats’ midterm mousetrap. If they win, it’s right back to their decades-long jihad against affordable energy.
Michael Bloomberg wrote an $80 million check to Democrats in a final midterm push. To Americans struggling to pay their energy bills: Here’s Bloomberg bragging about closing 300 affordable, reliable U.S. coal plants. Don’t expect the candidates cashing his checks to lower your bills.

Middle-class incomes are rising again. After four months of declines driven by high energy prices, real household income rebounded in August and September. Median household income reached $88,667 in August, up roughly $2,500 in real terms since President Trump began his second term. So much for the Left’s affordability crisis narrative.
