    The U.S. labor market has long been measured by the number of job openings, but a closer look reveals a troubling truth: Not all postings are real opportunities. An analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) shows a structural imbalance. Millions of job postings never result in an actual hire, creating what’s become known as the “ghost job economy.”

    Authorities arrested a man Sunday afternoon after he allegedly carjacked a truck loaded with portable toilets in Santa Monica and later crashed it along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, as reported by CBS LA News. Police said the incident began around 2:50 p.m. near Third Street and Arizona Avenue, close to the Third Street Promenade, when the suspect took a Ford F-550 commercial truck towing a trailer of portable restrooms. The suspect reportedly claimed to have a weapon during the carjacking before speeding away northbound on PCH. A short time later, the California Highway Patrol and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s...

    A firm representing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) solicited Jeffrey Epstein for donations and to get him to attend a dinner with then-President Barack Obama, newly released files revealed. Thousands of pages of documents from Epstein’s estate published by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week included a 2013 email from a representative of Jeffries’ asking Epstein to meet with and give money to the Democrat leader. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) exposed the email on the House floor during consideration of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed 427-1: https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1990866192358055989 New York City-based firm Dynamic...

    While Farghali noted that it is typical of the Muslim Brotherhood to “exploit Gaza and Palestine for money.” The Muslim Brotherhood allegedly stole half a billion dollars from donations for the Gaza Strip in a single campaign, Egyptian researcher Maher Farghali reported on Sunday. While Farghali noted that it is typical of the Muslim Brotherhood to “exploit Gaza and Palestine for money,” the difference with this incident is that Hamas condemned the theft. The association Waqf al-Ummah/Ummet Vakfı, founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, is said to have been responsible for taking half a billion, which it raised in a single...

    Comer said the Clintons are two Democrats that his committee has not heard back from regarding subpoenas for their testimony on their ties to Epstein, and that continued silence will be met with criminal referrals. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Tuesday said he would give former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the same treatment Democrats gave Steve Bannon if they do not comply with congressional subpoenas to testify on their alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. House Democrats referred Bannon for prosecution after he failed to comply with a House January 6 subcommittee subpoena....

    Anti-Islam activists and pro-Muslim counter-protesters clashed on Tuesday in Dearborn, Michigan, prompting a heavy police presence. Dearborn, home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the country, has recently become a target for activists who accuse it of operating under "Sharia law," according to MLive. The clash began when Jake Lang, who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, arrived on Michigan Avenue and attempted to burn a Quran, the outlet reported. Lang held up a lighter attempting to light the religious text on fire, but counter-protesters knocked it from his hands. Later, Lang slapped the Quran with...

    Netanyahu's office "thanked Mayor Adams for his great support of Israel and for being a true friend of the Jewish people" in a statement about the meeting. Adams' visit to Israel also included his participation in a Sunday Combating Antisemitism Movement (CAM) event, where he said, “If I were a Jewish New Yorker, I would be concerned about my children. People want to sugarcoat the moment. We cannot do that.” The outgoing mayor also met with former hostages at the Kfar Maccabiah Hotel in Ramat Gan on Sunday, where he expressed his continued commitment to fighting rising antisemitism and to...

    A federal court issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday stopping a congressional map enacted this year from being used during the 2026 midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, said the plaintiffs are likely to prove that the new map is racially gerrymandered. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    It is said there is only one rule when it comes to dramatising the Holocaust: don’t. The argument is essentially this: the unique horror of the event is beyond the scope of conventional artistic representation. Illuminate what happened with a documentary, sure, but apply a glossy Hollywood sheen to those monstrous events and you risk artistic catastrophe. I’ve seen many productions which fall into that category but here’s two recent ones: Hunters, an Al Pacino series for Amazon which portrays a gang of 1970s New York Nazi hunters as superhero vigilantes, and Sky Atlantic’s tastefully shot The Tattooist of Auschwitz,...

    President Donald Trump designated Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally on Tuesday, opening opportunities for more defense trade and security cooperation between the United States and its key partner in the Middle East. Trump made the announcement at a dinner for visiting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, after they held talks that included the signing of a strategic defense agreement “Tonight, I'm pleased to announce that we're taking our military cooperation to even greater heights by formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally," Trump said in a speech at the gathering.

    President Donald Trump has signaled that the administration could consider relocating Seattle’s 2026 FIFA World Cup matches due to concerns about public safety under incoming socialist and police abolitionist Mayor-elect Katie Wilson. The comments came during a White House press conference alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, where officials discussed preparations for the upcoming World Cup, which will be hosted across 16 cities in the US, as well as cities in Canada and Mexico. When asked about Seattle’s readiness to host six World Cup matches, Trump sharply criticized mayor-elect Wilson, calling her “more than a...

    "Think globally, act locally." Remember those bumper stickers that used to be so popular with your lefty friends and neighbors? To me, seeing one was always a tell that the owner of that car — whatever happened to "property is theft," bub? — might as well fly the hammer and sickle, whether they knew it or not. They had drunk deep of the strawberry Kool-Aid, blindly repeating a mantra that any Soviet commissar would have instantly recognized. Spasibo for your attention to this matter, Comrade. The international communist revolution was made possible by local action, which is exactly why you...

    "To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle," George Orwell famously noted, but he neglected to say that for some, the struggle isn't so much constant as it is ignored. Enter, stage left: CNN's Fareed Zakaria, finally noticing what conservatives have known for years. I was unaware that Zakaria was still on CNN, or that he anchored his own weekly show called Fareed Zakaria GPS. So you'll have to forgive me for also being unaware that he opens GPS with a segment called "My Take." Going by CNN's weekend viewership ratings, which rank right up...
