More than 100% of New York's job growth in seven years is home "caregivers." That's not an economy. It's a nursing home where a lot of the patients don't exist. Now Hochul is "considering" closing the barn door.

Macron calls the riots AI-generated and blames Putin. Burning ancient buildings and Palestinian flags are tough to deepfake. When you can't hide reality anymore, you try to redefine it.

Yup, narratives have a way of turning to smoke and ash when buildings are literally burning down.
Narrative control works great right up until reality gets louder than the narrative. Europe is finding that out the hard way.

"What the European Union is trying to do is distract from the real cause of the riots..."
@DavidStrom recently joined @MarkReardonKFTK to discuss civil unrest across Europe, government responses, and political instability.

Sign-in sheets pre-filled for people who hadn't shown up yet. Fifteen audited, fifteen with nothing but attendance sheets. That's not a few bad apples. That's the orchard. Minnesotans have seen this movie: pay for attendance, never check attendance, then act shocked.
Provoke. Clip. Ruin. Alinsky's playbook just cost a college student her education, and the guy who provoked her walks away clean.

This really is important
Democrats say they're defending democracy. Then they read out the list of people they plan to prosecute. Beria would recognize the playbook: show me the man, I'll show you the crime.

Paris is burning, and The New Yorker's Adam Gopnik has found the real horror: French voters might elect someone who promises to stop it.

I'd say it's incredible because they were freaking out just last week about political persecutions, but the merry go round of it's good when we do it, bad when anyone else does keeps going around, despite no one liking when the shoe is on the other foot.

Germany's Merz says his biggest worry isn't the economy, the EU, America, or China. It's Russia. Not NetZero, not the speech police, not migration. Germans are angry, and he's blaming a gas station with nuclear weapons.

Amazing how we went from "We must fight to save democracy!" to "We plan on imprisoning our political enemies!" the moment liberals sense any proximity to regaining power.
On the Bulwak podcast, Kara Swisher says Elon might already be in jail under Kamala Harris, and "he knows what's coming for him."
Another one to put in the "what Democrats plan to do if they take power" file:
"If Donald Trump loses the House and the Senate, I would worry. I'd be worried if I were him."
"So they're going to start investigating again. You think he's not on the list? He's at the top of that list."
"He has a very big sense of fate. And I think it's coming for him. And real hard."
They're all just saying this stuff out loud now. There are no secrets about what they want to do.

The new Narrative™: France isn't burning, it's AI. First it was "peaceful student protests." Then "only communists." Then "Trump's war." Now Putin did it, and things are mostly peaceful again.

Susan Rice: "This is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget." Democrats aren't hiding the plan. They're campaigning on it.

They spent decades running color revolutions overseas. Trump shut down USAID, so now they're practicing at home. And the Washington Post is already writing their press releases.

Democrats already have their target list for the House, and Elon Musk is at the top. If they can take down the richest man in the world, they can take down anyone. That's the point.

Americans fled the Orange Menace for Europe and found out dishwashers, big fridges, and friendly neighbors were the real American privilege. Now they're sheepishly plotting the move home.
