2+ min ago (746+ words) Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom ran for governor in 2018 on meeting the Golden State's dire need for more affordable housing " but after nearly seven full years of his leadership, the state is still in a housing crisis. The effort for 3.5 million units was short-lived. Newsom called the aspiration "a stretch goal" in 2022 when he announced a new target of building 2.5 million new housing units by 2030. In Newsom's original 3.5 million-unit timeline, California saw 737,295 new privately owned housing units, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, equaling roughly a fifth of his initial goal. The production in the first eight months of 2025 alone is nearly 16,000 less units than that same time period in 2022. Throughout Newsom's governorship, 2022 saw the highest number of new housing permits a year with 120,780 units built, per the Census Bureau. California would have to more than double its current housing production…...

6+ min ago (532+ words) They're not bendin' for Menin. A collective of panicked lefty New Yorkers whined online that presumptive next City Council speaker Julie Menin will "sabotage" Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani " as progressive lawmakers avoided congratulating the moderate Dem. The melodramatic X posts blasted Menin's perceived lack of liberal ideological purity compared to the other top speaker contender Crystal Hudson (D-Brooklyn), a staunch Mamdani ally widely seen as likely to help push his socialist agenda through the Council. "Menin's plan has always been to block progress and set the city on fire as much as possible (thankfully the mayor also has checks on her), blame Mamdani, then run for mayor in 2029 promising to fix the mess she created," another user conspiratorially griped on X. Some prominent Hudson backers in the Council seemed less than gracious in defeat after Menin announced Wednesday she had a super…...

Bogle is…...

8+ min ago (325+ words) Socialist nightmare to befall the United Kingdom. Failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has outdone himself in the worst possible way with his new budget from hell. His chancellor (finance Minister), Rachel Reeves, broke her electoral promise of not raising taxes, and hit the British people with a major tax assault today. To make bank, splurge cash on benefits for migrant families and get their votes. "Labour is giving a handout in those areas that they are more likely to benefit electorally." " GB News (@GBNEWS) November 27, 2025 "In farcical scenes at Westminster, an ashen-faced Chancellor was left scrambling after her crucial package was accidentally put online before she even had a chance to deliver it to MPs. Outrage grew as the scale of her tax raid became clear. "Around a quarter of the working population will be paying higher or top…...

19+ min ago (449+ words) The JetBlue terminal'currently going through a major refresh'is operated by Fraport USA, the U.S. arm of Germany's Fraport Group, which owns Frankfurt Airport and runs several other gateways around the world. SSP's established partnership with Fraport USA and its established JFK presence position it well for this expansion. JFK is the country's busiest international airport, and 19th worldwide. Among the concepts that travel food and beverage (F&B) specialist SSP will deliver at T5, the standout is Mister Paradise as it makes its entry into an airport'a pivot that underscores the credibility of airport concessions in attracting independent nightlife talent. More mainstream F&B arrivals will be coffee and donut chain Dunkin', and burger-inspired Shake Shack. The original Mister Paradise cocktail bar in NYC's East Village (on 105 First Avenue) was co'founded by Will Wyatt (ex'Death & Co) and Eric Paul, and opened in 2019, just before…...

19+ min ago (414+ words) The estate of Johnny Cash reportedly sued Coca-Cola, alleging they hired a tribute singer to imitate Cash's voice for a college football ad without authorization. The case was brought under Tennessee's new ELVIS Act, which protects voices from being exploited. The federal complaint was filed Tuesday in Nashville, and is the first major case to come under Tennessee's Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security Act (ELVIS) Act, according to Billboard. The ELVIS Act expanded the state's statutory right of publicity to protect a person's voice from being exploited, and was enacted in 2024. The John R.

The court filing claims the voice in the advertisement sounds "remarkably" like Cash's, and alleges that the performer belting out the tunes is…...

22+ min ago (585+ words) Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I'd like to return to this often contentious subject in the news of why the United States supports Israel. And I can even confess, as a rural resident who grew up isolated on a farm, I don't recall anybody being Jewish. And I had never met anybody Jewish until I was 18 years old, when I went to the University of California campus at Santa Cruz, and for the first time in my life I met somebody who said he was Jewish. So, I don't come to this issue with any particular hidden agenda, whether it's Christian Zionists'that's a new term that's in use now'or as an advocate of Jewish Americans or Israelis. I do it for one reason. I support Israel for one reason: It is in the interest of…...
