Chinese “fast fashion” giant Shein went public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Tuesday and the results have not been encouraging. The company, once privately valued at over $100 billion, was only valued at $26.5 billion in its initial public offering (IPO) and its shares have slumped with each passing day. Market-watchers pronounced Shein’s debut on the stock exchange “flat” and “disappointing” given the amount of money that was once surging through the online retailer’s veins. Shein was a pioneer in the business model that combines online ordering, fast shipping, loose customs rules for small packages, and very cheap…

This is stunning. The Democrat Party’s once-dominant voter-registration advantage in Nevada has been virtually erased following an enormous statewide voter-roll cleanup. Six years ago, Democrats enjoyed an advantage of roughly 87,000 active registered voters and treated the Silver State like a permanent blue stronghold.

New figures released by Democrat Secretary of State Francisco “Cisco” Aguilar show Nevada’s active voter rolls dropped 50,130 in August alone after routine list maintenance. Nevada now has 2,062,136 active registered voters: 796,805 are Nonpartisan (38.64%); 569,337 are Democrats (27.61%); 568,665 are Republicans (27.58%);…
