Key Points: -With a slowdown and a job market flooded with talent, younger workers are turning to an unlikely source to help them with the competition: their parents. -One in four Gen Zers have brought a parent to a job interview over the past year, according to a new survey of nearly 1,500 Gen Zers by ResumeTemplates.com. -Roughly one-quarter have had their parents submit job applications on their behalf. College graduations are in full swing and so are job interviews for Gen Z candidates. But with a slowdown in hiring by many companies and a job market flooded with certain...

Democratic strategist James Carville said that the Democrat Party’s “top agenda” needs to be focused on retrieving deported El Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is accused of being an MS-13 gang member. “People say, ‘Well, should we really fight on this turf or should we fight more on ordinary people?’ This we should fight on. You can’t pivot to an economic issue. This is why we think we’re a country,” Carville said on his “Politics War Room” podcast. Watch

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy didn't mince words when discussing the "lazy, entitled losers" taking baby boomers' place in today's workforce. Gen Z – the generation born between 1997 and 2012 – has received a bad rap for laziness, entitlement, emotional sensitivity and poor communication skills in recent years. Since they've overtaken their baby boomer grandparents at the office, the changes are already showing for some of those managing them. "They don't want to work. They're spoiled brats," Portnoy said Thursday on "Varney & Co." "They've grown up in a world where it's [an] everyone gets a trophy generation, and...

Canada’s premiere punks talk about their new album At Peace, searching for comfort in the chaos and antagonising the KKKPropagandhi are conflicted on At Peace. When Canada’s punk standouts announced their eighth studio album, singer/guitarist Chris Hannah said its lyrics find him unsure whether to respond to society’s failings by acting like spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle or notorious terrorist the Unabomber. “I am at peace these days,” he howls on the lead single and title track, “give or take a fit of blinding rage!” It’s understandable why the band don’t know what to do anymore. They’ve been openly antagonising...

Political strategists are not yet sold that Democrats rumored to be prospective 2028 presidential candidates have all that it takes to unite the party and retake the White House. Failed 2024 candidates Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and a handful of Democrat governors — Gavin Newsom of California, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Wes Moore of Maryland — are all thought to be potentially sizing up runs for the White House in 2028 as Democrats try to fight their way out of...

Former Clinton advisor and pollster Mark Penn on Wednesday warned on "Fox & Friends" that Democrats' ongoing resistance to President Donald Trump, including their refusal to stand and applaud at any point during the president's address to Congress, is resulting in "record lows" in the polls. MARK PENN: They didn't know how to applaud when you're supposed to applaud. I've participated in many States of the Union and, you know, the Republicans kind of knew when to sit there and when to applaud, when something that was really unifying that they're supposed to applaud, too. And look, what's been happening...

Adam Frisch, a Colorado Democrat who lost his House race in November to now-Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-CO), told The Wall Street Journal over the weekend his party is in disarray after their major 2024 election losses.SNIP“The Democratic brand is in the toilet, with a recent Wall Street Journal poll showing 60% of Americans view the party unfavorably while only 36% see it favorably,” Ball wrote. “Democrats lost ground with nearly every demographic group last November, including minorities, women, low-income voters and those without college degrees.”Asked for comment, Frisch replied, “Twenty big cities, Aspen and Martha’s Vineyard — that’s what’s left...

LONDON (Reuters) - Russian prosecutors are seeking to recover nearly $33 million of funds that they say were allocated for the defence of the western Kursk region, invaded by Ukraine last year, but stolen instead by corrupt officials. Ukrainian troops stormed across the border in a surprise attack on Aug. 6 and seized a chunk of Russian territory, some of which they still hold - a valuable bargaining chip for Kyiv in any peace talks with Moscow. A lawsuit filed by the office of Russia's Prosecutor General orders the head of the Kursk Regional Development Corporation, his deputies and a...

They have a lot in common. Following her brutal election loss, former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly spoke with Hillary Clinton on multiple occasions as she mulls her future in the wake of President Trump’s return to the White House. Not much is known about the details of those discussions, but Harris had also consulted family members and friends while trying to figure out her future, New York Magazine reported. Clinton, 77, was the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for president, and she was also the first female to notch a popular vote victory. Harris, 60, was the...

Remember the hundreds of thousands of protesters who took to the streets when Donald Trump first got elected in 2017? With their pink pussy hats and incessant shrieking, it’s hard to forget. My question now is: where’d they all go? We were told for years that Trump 2.0 would be worse than the original. He showed his true colors on Jan. 6; this time, he’ll end democracy once and for all. Apparently, their most loyal acolytes didn’t even buy it. Only a smattering showed up to protest. What started as the Women’s March in 2017 became the People’s March this...

Thousands of far-left protesters have swamped Washington, D.C., as part of the “People’s March” to protest President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The march served as a platform for progressive causes, which consisted of extreme anti-cop rhetoric with the threat of descending into violence. Protesters chanted “Lock him up!” and other slogans, such as “Elon Musk has got to go!” as they marched through the nation’s capital. The deep-seated animosity from eftists against the incoming administration is concerning, given that a number of leftist socialist groups with a history of causing violence and chaos will also be present. Demonstrators vowed to make...

CNN defamed a U.S. Navy veteran in a 2021 report portraying him as illegally exploiting Afghans by charging exorbitant fees to be evacuated in the aftermath of the U.S. military withdrawal from the country, a jury has found. A Florida jury on Friday awarded Zachary Young, a security consultant who said the story destroyed his business and reputation, $5 million after a nine-day defamation trial, The Washington Post reporter Jeremy Barr, who was onsite for the trial, reported. The damages verdict doesn’t account for punitive damages, intended to punish particularly malicious conduct, which will push the total higher.

In this episode of "Yawn, So What's New?"... In a predictable leftist move, "Ben & Jerry's" ice cream is hawking a "direct action" ... "against fascism" in opposition to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20. Yeah. And yawn. As reported by the Post Millennial on Thursday, the notoriously radical left-wing company is working to organize participation in a "People's March" on January 18 in Washington, D.C., along with other locations across the fruited plain. The company's latest newsletter encouraged its customers to protest and "dissent" against Trump's soon-to-be presidency. Post Millennial Senior Editor Andy Ngo posted a reminder on...

The radical left-wing Washington Post has lost 500,000 subscribers since January of 2021, as more and more Americans reject their woke ideology. The Washington Post’s affinity for all things radical is perspicuous. Indeed, the Washington Post promoted the Russia Collusion hoax.

"If you woke up on January 7th of 2021 with the glass still shattered on the floor of the Capitol and the smoke rising and the troops are surrounding the building, and you had said that Donald Trump will be president in 4 years, nobody would have believed that."

Former President Donald Trump is known for rewarding loyalty and attacking his political enemies. Despite that risk, many current and former high-profile Republicans publicly opposed him and threw their weight behind Vice President Harris in the 2024 election. Now, anti-Trump conservatives are regrouping, says Craig Snyder, former director of Haley Voters for Harris. "These are people who had significant career and personal investments in Republican politics and who threw it all away, burned the bridge — knowingly burned the bridge — because they couldn't abide Donald Trump and they wanted to support Vice President Harris," Snyder said

A trio of MSNBC programs hit all-time viewership lows last week as the network continues to struggle on the heels of President-elect Donald Trump’s Election Day victory. "Alex Wagner Tonight," "Inside with Jen Psaki" and "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" all hit rock bottom last week despite a busy news cycle that included the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the ensuing manhunt for his killer, a slew of news related to Trump’s Cabinet picks, the fallout from President Biden announcing he would pardon his son, Hunter, and Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad being ousted from power. "Alex Wagner...
