Listen to these two soulless DSA muppets many moons ago (Newsom in '13, Pritzker in '14) when they were pandering their way up the ranks posing as user-friendly, business-savvy sorts to gain the acceptance of C-suite dopes and voracious rent-seekers. Now Newsom pushes a wealth tax while Pritzker pushes for a millionaire's surcharge after a failed attempt at graduating IL's state income tax and successfully raising five-dozen other state taxes and fees. These two knobs preside over the two worst-governed states in the nation which earns them the right to be considered serious DSA candidates for POTUS. They perfectly illustrate the sick joke that is the American Left.

NEW: Ken Griffin on Paris riots, Chicago and JB Pritzker I think Paris should be a real wake up call to every single young American. France is the dream the left talks about. That dream is the nightmare I left from Chicago. That dream doesn’t belong in our country. A society that comes down to how much you can take from others. Do you see candidates that you’re actually fearful that’s the path they’re going down: J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois. Yes, 100%. 100%
Ken Griffin on the rise of DSA, Paris riots and looting in Chicago I'm not so worried about it. It's a New York, Illinois, Michigan, California bit of a bubble. If you want to see where socialism leads to, look at France last weekend. It's the socialist dream. The country spends 60% of GDP at the government level. BTW Paris looked pretty damn similar to Chicago in 2021-22. It’s a people… (that) are very willing to riot and protest anything. Is that really the future that the US might be looking at? It’s the future. I lived in Chicago. I could look out my window at the Dior store. They were very efficient. We may be more efficient than the French, even at looting.

"Something changed here... Like one day we came home and the house had been rearranged while we were gone." This is such a good spot. It speaks to people's common heritage, the reason they chose Minnesota, and the unspoken anxiety they feel about the state's direction but are equally uncomfortable in detailing the specifics. The message is unmistakable: something has been taken from us (by the people in charge) and we need to take it back. And this is how you give people not necessarily affiliated with your party a safe place to land. Well done.

Thank you @DanProft and @MorningAnswer for having me on this morning to talk more about my reporting on @SenatorSlotkin for @ThinkerChicago! Listen and read here: morninganswerchicago.com/mic…
This Communist wants to form a one-party state by persecuting the opposite political party and scaring young people out of serving in government. She refuses to apologize for her sinister remarks and continues to double down on her authoritarian impulses. Sickening.

My friend's autobiography "Built After Broken" is a good story well told. Available on Amazon. Cawley recounts his life with a candor unafraid of poignancy, but which avoids the maudlin. It is a tribute to the formula: reflection + correction = inflection. His noble purpose with the book is to provide an example to others as to how to build their own life while hopefully getting lost fewer times than he did along the way. @MorningAnswer omny.fm/shows/chicagos-morni…

If you live in one of the gray states, your governor has blocked scholarships from the new Trump federal scholarship program from being given to kids in your state. And I would recommend upgrading to a better governor.

When Larry David abandons the latest iteration of the Left...too bad Curb is done, a DSA parody including selections from the satire below (I chose my two favorites) would have been timely. #7: In an effort to make amends for centuries of slavery, reparations will be instituted, along with a lottery system in which white people will be selected to serve as slaves to Black families for one year. Lashings are encouraged for excessive whining, and government-issued whips will be distributed at no cost. #12: We Democratic Socialists love to laugh … but not at the expense of others. The last thing we want is for any person to be offended by a joke that targets them or someone they know. No one should ever have their feelings hurt. Consequently, any comedian who is responsible for causing emotional discomfort in any way will be sent to a facility where they will be re-programmed and hopefully emerge with a greater awareness of the sensitivities of their fellow citizens. If, however, the re-programming is unsuccessful, the repeat offender will be sent to Pitcairn Island to live with the Bagel People. airmail.news/issues/2026-10-…

If you think gas prices are high now, wait until these DSA apparatchiks move to make energy fossil-fuel-free.

A source familiar tells me that President Trump is still a huge fan of Katie Zacharia, and she also still has lots of fans beyond just the president throughout the administration. This source says she and her entire family are having dinner tonight with VP JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance and the entire Second Family at the VP residence TONIGHT. That being said, she appears to be done in the press secretary role. What’s next for her, and for the press secretary position, both remain to be seen.
A senior White House official tells @pdoocy Katie ZACHARIA is “transitioning out” of the press secretary position.

Well said by @DanProft. Hope his predictions on TX and MI hold true. – at Harwood Heights, IL
This campaign is for those who play by the rules and are being targeted by politicians who enable predators. They dislike our nation and our core beliefs in freedom. This is what's at stake.
