Joe Biden savaged over memoir announcement

Joe Biden is brutally roasted over new memoir as critics give book savage fake name

"Joe Biden announced in a Wednesday social media video that his long-expected book on his White House tenure would be published in mid-November.

The announcement was greeted with Republican scorn and Democratic relief. 

'What are the odds Joe Biden even knows he's releasing a book?' White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson posted in a mocking response.

Other users deployed memes and AI-generated imagery to punctuate their mockery of the former president, including a book titled I Forgot. 

Biden said the book, called Promise Me, America, would cover everything from addressing the COVID pandemic to his decision to drop out of the race. 

The publication date is November 17 - exactly two weeks after a crucial midterm Election Day. 

Michael LaRosa, a former spokesman for First Lady Jill Biden, credited the Bidens for timing any bombshells about the Democratic defeat to land after voting day." . . . More...

• Look, Fat: This option was ultimately discarded to avoid body shaming any potential readers.
• The Last of the Dog-Faced Pony Soldiers: A tantalizing tease of the treasures found in the book.

A majority of Gen Z now supports socialism thanks to Leftist teachers

"None of this is rocket science. But you do have to stop and think — and that is what too many of our schools and colleges are failing to teach their students to do."   Dr. Thomas Sowell

Whatfinger News' Choice Clips   "A majority of Gen Z now supports socialism. Not because they enjoy starving in gulags, but because public schools are run by NPR interns while Washington fed Gen Z into an economic woodchipper."    Video here...

Professor blames education system for Gen Z socialism   

"Campus Reform Higher Education Fellow and Professor of Political Science Nicholas Giordano says that Gen Z’s growing acceptance of socialism is a result of the education system demonizing capitalism."

Socialism for the Uninformed, by Dr. Thomas Sowell | Creators Syndicate

"Socialism sounds great. It has always sounded great. And it will probably always continue to sound great. It is only when you go beyond rhetoric, and start looking at hard facts, that socialism turns out to be a big disappointment, if not a disaster.

"While throngs of young people are cheering loudly for avowed socialist Bernie Sanders, socialism has turned oil-rich Venezuela into a place where there are shortages of everything from toilet paper to beer, where electricity keeps shutting down, and where there are long lines of people hoping to get food, people complaining that they cannot feed their families.

"With national income going down, and prices going up under triple-digit inflation in Venezuela, these complaints are by no means frivolous. But it is doubtful if the young people cheering for Bernie Sanders have even heard of such things, whether in Venezuela or in other countries around the world that have turned their economies over to politicians and bureaucrats to run.

"The anti-capitalist policies in Venezuela have worked so well that the number of companies in Venezuela is now a fraction of what it once was. That should certainly reduce capitalist "exploitation," shouldn't it?

"But people who attribute income inequality to capitalists exploiting workers, as Karl Marx claimed, never seem to get around to testing that belief against facts — such as the fact that none of the Marxist regimes around the world has ever had as high a standard of living for working people as there is in many capitalist countries.

"Facts are seldom allowed to contaminate the beautiful vision of the left. What matters to the true believers are the ringing slogans, endlessly repeated." . . .More...

CNBC Proves Why Nobody Cares About Corporate Media Anymore

The American Spectator 

"It’s pitiful. But it’s an immaculate rendering of what legacy corporate media has become and refuses to move beyond, and why it won’t last much longer in its current formation."

. . . "The study itself is a big, fat nothing. It claims that Tennessee is the worst state in America to live, followed by Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, and Georgia to round out the bottom five. (RELATED: The Spectator P.M. Ep. 229: CNBC’s ‘Top States’ Ranking Is the Top Flop of 2026)

. . . "Those are what Scott Cohn thinks are the important factors in quality of life? How easy it is for a woman to kill her unborn baby, and how friendly the local libraries are to Drag Queen Story Hour?

"All of the top 10 worst places for Scott Cohn, a veteran legacy corporate media reporter out of San Francisco, to live are red states. Rounding out his bottom 10 are Utah, Missouri, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. (RELATED: Y’all Street Is Eating Wall Street’s Lunch)

"And they want you to believe this is credible.

"Hilariously, four of the worst states to live, according to Cohn’s listicle, are in the top 10 of CNBC’s best states for business — Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, and Indiana. So the two worst states to live in America are among the top 10 best states to do business. Cool story, bro! (RELATED: Go South, Young Man, Go South)

"It would have been a bit more believable if Scott Cohn had told you that these were the top 10 worst places for the LGBTQIA++ Alphabet People to live, or that they were the top 10 worst places for women wanting to have abortions — or men wanting to have wanton sex without fatherhood — to live.

"But nope. Scott Cohn and his team of “researchers” at CNBC decided to impose San Francisco values on red states and found Tennessee and Texas to fail the biggest of all." . . .

European Girl Shocked by Rural America

Cori Ander explores the Pacific Northwest, visiting the iconic Twin Peaks diner and experiencing local customs like the imperial measurement system. The journey continues through the countryside to observe wildlife and explore a community rummage sale, offering a unique perspective on life and nature in Washington State.

Cori Ander*

"To experience small-town life in the USA, I rented a car and headed out into the countryside of Washington State. In the idyllic town of North Bend, I visited Twede’s Cafe, the world-famous diner from the Twin Peaks movie. After that, I continued my journey to Snoqualmie to explore some of Washington’s beautiful nature."

*Coriander is an aromatic herb and spice from the plant Coriandrum sativum, with edible leaves (cilantro) and seeds used in cooking worldwide.  Just saying. No particular reason. TD

Communism Hasn't Been Done Right. (Yeah, That’s The Ticket.)

"The current crop of young Democrat/DSA politicians is testing the leftist theory that communism will work if you just put the right people in charge."

Milli Sands

"An admission: I am not a fan of communism, socialism, fascism, or Nazism.

"So, I have a bias.

"That said, I also have an open mind.

"And there seem to be lots of people who are fan-boys/girls/trans of the Democratic Socialists of America (“DSA”) who think that having the conglomerate known as the Democrats/Progressive/Liberals (DPLs) embrace them is the right move.

"I am willing to accept, with sufficient proof (whenever that comes), that the problem with communism/socialism is one of poor implementation.

"After all, great minds such as Noam Chomsky, Richard D. Wolff and Stephen Resnick, and Owen Jones seem to suggest that.

"So, I got to thinking about other brilliant ideas that simply have been poorly implemented, but for that would succeed, as would communism/socialism.

"Many of these persons have won Darwin Awards.

"Some possess skills in their respective areas:" . . .

A sampling of the cast of characters who Democrats expect can "do it right":

What is most encouraging about the near-guaranteed success of the upcoming implementation of communism/socialism, i.e., it being done right? The cast of characters:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14): Armed with an overpriced Boston University international relations degree, her pre-political résumé boils down to slinging cocktails and a pathetic home-based children’s book startup that died instantly.

Rashida Tlaib (MI-12): Textbook career grifter who leveraged her law degree into instant taxpayer-funded state gigs and cozy progressive nonprofit sinecures.

Ilhan Omar (MN-05): Glided from a political science degree straight into municipal nutrition busywork and policy aide handouts—a lifelong parasite on government institutions. Though, to her credit, she prepped for her Feeding Our Future fraud by having a background in nutrition.

Ayanna Pressley (MA-07): Dropped out of college to latch onto congressional staff gigs and city council, scoring a flawless lifetime on the government teat with zero private-sector contamination.

Erasing Little Italy Is About More Than a Map

Ben Shapiro

"New York City has long been celebrated as a city of immigrant neighborhoods. Little Italy, Chinatown, Harlem, Washington Heights, Brighton Beach - these communities tell the story of generations of newcomers who helped build America's largest city while gradually becoming part of it.

"That history makes one omission from Mayor Zohran Mamdani's recently released map of immigrant communities particularly striking.

"Little Italy wasn't there.

Instead, the map highlighted a series of neighborhoods identified as "Little Pakistan," "Little Senegal," "Little Yemen" and even "Little Palestine." City Hall defended the project by saying it was never intended to identify religious enclaves but rather neighborhoods with substantial foreign-born populations from around the world.

"That explanation raises an obvious question: If the goal was to recognize immigrant communities, how does one leave out perhaps the most iconic immigrant neighborhood in New York City?

"Little Italy is more than a tourist destination. It represents one of the defining chapters in the city's history - a reminder of the millions of Italian immigrants who arrived in America, endured discrimination, built businesses and eventually became woven into the fabric of American life. Omitting it while highlighting far newer and, in some cases, unofficial neighborhood designations sends a message, whether intended or not, about which immigrant stories deserve recognition.The omission also fits a broader pattern.

"During the protests of 2020, Mamdani posted a photograph of himself making an obscene gesture toward a statue of Christopher Columbus, accompanied by the caption, "Take it down." Columbus has become a lightning rod in America's culture wars, but for many Italian Americans, his monuments represent more than one historical figure. They symbolize a community that fought for acceptance in a country where Italians were once treated as outsiders." . . ."

NY Italians put Mamdani on notice after ‘sacred ground’ snub: ‘We stand against communists!’  "New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire from an Italian American heritage group after Little Italy was left off a city immigrant-neighborhood map tied to a World Cup tourism campaign — an omission critics called an insult to one of the communities that helped build New York.

"Zohran Mamdani wants to ERASE Italian Americans. First, he denied our permit for Unity Day 2026. Now, he is excluding Little Italy as a recognized location all together on the map," wrote the Italian American Civil Rights League (IACRL) on X along with a press release.

"Italian Americans BUILT NEW YORK CITY. Not third world Ugandans, We stand AGAINST COMMUNISTS," the group added." . . .
