He continued: First of all, you have people faking their resumes. So you have these body shops [white-collar staffing companies] who bring people in, and it’s cheap labor. So it’s a fact.

Troy Jackson had kids with his cousin. James Talarico wants middle schoolers to text him after dark. Bobby Pulido downplayed child molestation. And Randy Villegas knowingly hired a pedophile to work in a school. No, that’s not a list of weirdos on a watch list; they’re all Democrats running for Congress this cycle. These scandal-ridden candidates are plagued by personal and professional controversies that are so grotesque that the contrast in candidate quality across the two parties could not be clearer. Republicans are assembling a winning team, and Democrats are casting a freak show. The midterms are a choice between proven leaders and candidates who are completely detached…

Screengrabs Social Media/X The masked activist. Over the years, the world saw Greta Thunberg transition from ‘Global Warming poster girl’ berating society for ‘robbing her of her childhood’ to an activist mostly invested in the Palestinian cause. She didn’t make any sense then, and she doesn’t make any sense now. But, in the process, she became a celebrity – and an incredibly divisive one at that. So, now, she has to pay the price.

Veteran actor Jeff Bridges has seen enough of Hollywood’s enthusiastic embrace of artificial intelligence (AI) to know its hastening the demise of people like him in an industry that has delivered so much to so many through pure human endeavor. But all is not lost for the son of Lloyd and brother of Beau.

Screengrab Social Media/X The resulting crater is too small to be seen with the naked eye.
