Las Vegas Lied to Us — And We Paid the Price

Las Vegas isn’t what it used to be. and we’ve learned that the hard way. We thought we understood how Vegas works how to spot the tricks, avoid the traps, and still love the chaos. But after years of living in Las Vegas, something shifted. And we couldn’t ignore it anymore. Things that used to feel exciting. now feel off. And one day, we looked around and realized the biggest lie Las Vegas still gets away with and how easy it is to fall for it.

‘One big thieving cabal’: Democrats warned to brace for a bigger threat than Trump

New Republic Deputy Editor Jason Linkins says Democrats must brace themselves for a much bigger enemy than Jeffrey Epstein if they want to truly show the public they are taking on U. S. corruption.“The time to pummel these crooks is nigh, and they needn’t be precious about it,” Linkins said. “Think of it like this: Trumpism is the culmination of a crooked scheme that began nearly a half-century ago, in which the rich and powerful looted our wealth and tore up the civic fabric of this nation. Yes, like the Epstein affair suggests, it really is one big thieving cabal of plutocratic reprobates that has done us dirty. There is an opportunity now for Democrats with guts to crush these scumbags, and take back what they stole.”Linkins said a massive partywide attack on the root of corruption must also include deep scrutiny inside the Democratic Party itself if the public is to be convinced that Democrats are serious about this.“Conservatives have darkly warned their liberal counterparts: ‘Be careful what you wish for; what if this implicates a bunch of crusty old Democrats?’ To which I say, ‘Don’t threaten me with a good time,’” Linkins said. “As I’ve watched the Epstein story unravel across the media through the shouting of lawmakers and the flood of tawdry emails dumped in the press I’ve not been able to ignore how it’s all one big pile of rot at the center of polite society.”Linkins said he is “less worried about whether some Democratic Party luminary catches an Epstein stray and more concerned about whether Democrats bungle the opportunity to attack these corrupt arrangements and the presidential administration that has made them its North Star.”The iron for this, said Linkins, is “particularly hot” right now with the American public.“A fresh Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday found that Trump’s approval ratings had hit startling new lows, with respondents particularly “unhappy about his handling of the high cost of living and the investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.”Epstein and the economy are the “twin albatrosses around Trump’s neck,” said Linkins, but the question remains whether Democrats “will have the stomach and the sense to exploit both avenues to Trump’s ruin.”“It may not seem like a problem, but Democrats seem pathologically averse to multitasking, which explains why they’re making the salience of grocery prices their priority to the exclusion of all other matters,” Linkins said. “So monomaniacal is this approach that at various times over the past year, Democratic lawmakers have called other concerns “distractions”-up to and including Trump’s rampaging paramilitary forces.”Abandoning the moment would be a travesty considering mounting public disgust and anger. According to the most recent NPR/PBS News Marist poll, Democrats have attained a 14-point lead over the GOP on the generic congressional ballot. Read the New Republic report at this link.

The Real Problem With Higher Education And the real engine behind socialism’s resurgence. by Bruce Thornton

The seemingly growing popularity of socialism, and the election of socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York City’s new mayor, have led billionaire Peter Thiel to reprise a 2020 email that explained with “a simple theory” why millennials are attracted to socialism, and down on capitalism. It seems that loads of student loan debt, and exorbitant prices for houses have kept them from achieving the American dream of earlier generations. “If you proletarianize the young people, you shouldn’t be surprised if they eventually become communist,” Thiel told the Free Press. This analysis is superficial and oddly simplistic about what has happened to higher education, which has nothing to do with capitalism “proletarianizing” students–it’s pure bathos, by the way, to describe some of the most privileged young people in history as “proletarians.” For instance, take the complaint about student loans. They were federalized and politicized by Barack Obama, leading to programs and regulations that ignore fiscal responsibility and common sense–the very dysfunctions that created our federal entitlements’ drunken-sailor largess that has led to more and more money spent on entitlements. Indeed, currently we spend more on entitlements than on our military, and on servicing the growing interest on this mountain of debt that will have to be paid for by our grandchildren and their grandchildren. Not even the rapacious demagogues of ancient Athens thought to redistribute the wealth of the unborn. So, how did those students amass so much debt? Aren’t they adults responsible for their bad decisions, including the choice of trendy, useless majors with little value on the job market? Do we think it’s rapacious capitalism’s fault when a spendthrift can’t repay his loan for an expensive car? Or is it justice to strong-arm the dealer to post facto to lower the price, or coerce the bank that loaned the money to reduce the interest rate? But aren’t those adult borrowers the victims of inflated tuition? That’s not capitalism’s fault, given that under Obana student loans create an opportunity for universities with gigantic, tax-free endowments to raise tuition costs and milk the corrupt student loan racket. Making the universities contribute to paying off students’ bloated loans would make more sense and be more just than blaming some cartoon caricature of our free-market economy. The bigger problem with Thiel’s “theory” is that it misses the dysfunctional changes over the last fifty years that have damaged our universities’ legitimate purpose. The cultural Marxist “long march” through the institutions has gradually politicized universities with Marxist ideology, which in turn opened the way for the “higher nonsense”: Postmodernism and poststructuralist ideologies–the idiot bastards of Marx’s malign ideas like “false consciousness” — that have also infected the university with other sophistic ideas such as simplistic, radical materialist determinism and juvenile relativism.

Scientists discover what really powers Venus’s wild, planet-encircling winds

Imagine storms fiercer than the strongest hurricanes on Earth, blowing nonstop all the way around an entire planet. This is exactly what happens on Venus, where winds at the cloud tops race around the planet at speeds of more than 100 metres per second. Even more astonishing is that Venus itself rotates very slowly [.] The post Scientists discover what really powers Venus’s wild, planet-encircling winds appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
