Helicopter parenting, the over programming of kids and social haven't helped. Nor has the college arms race. Interesting point of view in the video. If some society change occurs the need for therapy mitigates? Is that possible during the coming decade.

He might not be off on this? And my final prediction for the midterms is… Tuesday, November 3, 2026, 11:13 AM Roger Kimball, The Spectator Nov 3, 2026 I’ll be weighing in again on the midterms early Wednesday. But since this is the season of prediction, prophecy, punditry and prognostication, I thought I would take my cards, which I have grasped here in my hand, and lay them on this virtual table. The only thing certain is uncertainty – except when we are talking about the ex

Sorry not buying this completely. There may be a shrinking pool of applicants for college, but the acceptance rates for these schools have gone down steadily for the past decade. There's high demand at the top. If your reading this, odds are those bargain basement prices at the elite aren't for you or your kids. Sorry, you're too well off. Honestly, I think automakers should set the price of their vehicles according to the ethnic composition of buyers and financial ability t

The Dems are managing to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. Reminds of their efforts to take down Voldemort in court and Russia-gate. It only enhanced their opponent's brand. Had the Dems run on a Clinton type moderate pro growth platform they'd have cleaned up. Not just for this midterm, but would be positioned for the 2028 presidential election. As it now stands, the socialistic arm of their party may win today but will have a tough time in 2028 against a moderate candi

Merkl famously warned that the US and other UN nations were engaging in overreach against Putin's interests in Ukraine and this could famously backfire. She was 100% correct. Poking the Bear didn't help. Nor do I excuse the Bear's actions. The EU's future is in peril unless it again has access to reasonably priced energy. High costs for oil and natural gas are literally choking the life out of European manufacturing. It's in Putin's and their mutual interest to wrap this t

Beginning this January I will be selling premium access to the Report. That gets you back stage after each show plus early access each morning at 5am.

World piece baby. That's all I care about. But if you ask what would help the US economy (I'm not materialistic and barely care): A split Congress would be nice. Markets love gridlock to keep Voldemort and our elected officials from screwing the pooch. Voldemort and Who's ever in charge (among the Tribe) bombing the crap out of Iran immediately after the midterms to force the straits open for good. It's going to happen soon or later. It might as well be now. Putin cutting a

Easy. No need to panic. Private insurers are too smart to provide this because the cost would be prohibitive. So they have generally pulled the f-ck out. The good news is that the State of Florida provides this at about 1/6th cost that a private insurer would. So if your home gets wiped out by Hurricane Sophia (I just made that part up) some unfortunate dude in Orlando gets to chip and pay a special tax assessment. The same sheet goes on in Calif in wildfire prone areas.

I posted this video in 2025. It's still relevant today and explains the subject in a way media outlets don't. With real facts. Does that mean Voldemort got it right. Short answer is he did with respect to the World Trade organziation that created the problem in the first place. Biden continued his first time policies. Lately the Dark Lord's been a bit ragged. On the other hand most metrics put the inflation impact of his tariff wars at under 1/2 percent. Ergo, Trump is ri

Looks like requiring an ID to vote enjoys broad support nationally and perhaps others in the Dem party will starting supporting such? Says Gemini: Jamel Holley, a New Jersey Democratic politician who represented the 20th Legislative District in the General Assembly, has expressed support for stricter voter verification and election integrity measures that distinguish him from the mainstream Democratic consensus.Support for Federal Proof-of-Citizenship Rules: Holley voiced sup

I have decided to alter my appearance in the media thru AI. I refuse to spend the money on some overpriced plastic surgeon. Goniffs! Culture of plastic surgery has turned actresses like Jennifer Lawrence into puffed-up, plastic clones By Kirsten Fleming Published Nov. 1, 2026, 4:44 p.m. ET Actress Jennifer Lawrence appearing on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast last week. Jennifer Lawrence, is that you? In a new story for The Cut, the naturally beautiful “Silver Linings Playbook”

I could use a pardon myself. I don't want the FBI coming around and threatening my sources. They turn on me in a NY second. Trump reveals he’ll use preemptive pardons to protect staff, allies if Dems take Congress By Thomas English, NY Post Published Nov. 2, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ET President Trump revealed he’s willing to issue sweeping preemptive pardons to everyone who worked in his administration if Democrats follow through on threats to prosecute them. “I would if I needed to

Axios explains that many drugs will come off patent protection in the next 6 years and biotech companies will be looking to specialized treatments as their next cash generator. I had Gemini look at this. As I suspected, drugs for a large population may also lead the charge. I think Axios partially missed the boat. Generally speaking, the globe is aging rapidly (larger share of the population over 60) and that's an op for big pharma. Over the next 10 to 20 years, pharmaceutic

Snitz mansplains: How shows produced for your phone may crater Netflix? Prior to 2000, most of us watched network TV or movies in theaters (mono culture). Johnny Carson ruled with up to 30 million nightly viewers. Over the subsequent 15 years, cable (HBO, Showtime) & the internet (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney) expanded the viewing options 20-fold. Then Social media took hold! Millennials and Gen Z started spending their time on phones instead. Their attention spans got sm

This is the problem I have with most trending stories, whether the WSJ or the NY Times. Broad headlines that aren't supported by metrics. The story below leaves the impression that the number of females employed in the construction trades is ramping up significantly. I had Claude take a deeper dive. The WSJ implication here is not true. There was some growth from 2015 until 2023 then things leveled off at less than 5%. BTD. Companies Have a Solution for the Skilled Trade Sh

I was contemplating firing up a super offensive Halloween costume myself but opted instead to let Martha do the heavy lifting for me. Martha Stewart addresses backlash over homeless Halloween costume — but stops short of apologizing By Chris Rogers and Vanessa Serna, NY Post Published Nov. 1, 2026, Martha Stewart has spoken out after sparking backlash by dressing up as a homeless person for Halloween. “I am distressed that my Halloween costume yesterday, which was intended to

Gemini prepared the chart below.

Go ahead and ignore my advice. You never listen! Hint: Knee or hand arthitis pain...go for the gel. Hip talk to a specialist.

Why did I doubt Molly. I know. She writes for the NY Times and they ignore data*. She claims interest in running has surged in recent years. I pulled up some real facts and holy sheet. She's wrong. There were more marathon participants a decade ago. *Statistically that's untrue. 22.6% of the time they do not ignore data. Going the distance By Molly Mirhashem, NY Times Nov 1, 2026 I’m the fitness editor and a compulsive runner. A marathon is a beautiful, painful thing. Runn
