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

By The Editorial Board, WSJ Oct. 30, 2026 Voters aren’t happy about gasoline prices as they head to the polls, and it’s now axiomatic in the press that the Iran war is a loser for the U.S. with no good choices except capitula

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

America's largest cities (LA, NYC and Chicago) attract voters who deserve what they're going to get? Sorry, that was very cold. I need to have more compassion for the intellectually disadvantaged idiots who vote for.... I think it's unfair of the authors to claim LA is going to the "bottom". That diminishes the accomplishments of Brandon and Mamdani. Personally I'm rooting for Raman. The journalist ops are far superior. Los Angeles Races to the Bottom Bass and Raman argue o

It may be stable but kids aren't really practicing religion like before 2020. I blame drugs, sex and rock music. Hey wait a minute! Kids are drinking less, use fewer drugs and listen to Taylor Swift. I've just put my finger on the problem! Religion Remains Stable in the U.S., With Mixed Signals for Young Adults A closer look at recent religious trends in the United States By Gregory A. Smith, Chip Rotolo and Alan Cooperman, Pew Research After a prolonged decline, religion in

Talk about stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. All Voldemort had to do is take the win. He'd stablized our border and simply had to arrest illegals who commited violent/property crimes. But he engaged in what we at the Report like to call "overeach". By the way that's a copywrited term. Capeche? Americans’ Views of ICE Grow More Negative ByAndy Cerda, Pew Research Oct 26.2026 A majority of Americans (56%) now say they have an unfavorable opinion of Immigration and Cu

Call me a dreamer, perhaps an optomist. Is it wrong to hope an honest guy can find love with a woman one third his age. Sure she has large breasts. I say so what! This is a sad day for the Spritzler Report. I wish them both happiness in their continued endevours apart. Bill Belichick, 74, and Jordon Hudson, 25, secretly split late last year — months before loved-up appearance in May: report By Carson Blackwelder, NY Post Published Oct. 30, 2026, 7:14 p.m. ET It’s reportedly

OMG, you commit some alleged Medicare fraud (the operative word is alleged) and right away they malign you simply because you married a family member.

I consulted Claude on this. I want to make it clear that the AI Chatbot is not saying the reality TV Star and former anti vaccine spokesperson is batshit crazy. She still easy on the eyes and I do not judge. Oh wait...I just did by commenting on her appearance. Sorry...my bad. Her suffering sounds real, but the diagnosis and treatment she’s describing sit well outside mainstream medicine, and the tent is the clearest sign of that. What she’s reported. She says she’s sleepin

First off, the rumor that I somehow profited by investing half my net worth in big oil prior to the war breaking out is categorically untrue. I do not profit from other's misfortunes (unless absolutely necessary). I have been using Claude to track my earnings however.
