DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

I mean it. This might be the best thing on Instagram this week.

Trisha Fenimore, a conservative content creator, posted a series of videos on Wednesday theorizing about a “conspiracy” by the Left to break major sex scandals right before elections to sway female voters.

Rollo Tomassi made the same point on his podcast last Sunday. He predicted that on the day after the election the Cornell 7 will disappear into the void. Considering that the incident happened two years ago, I think he’s got a point.

Don’t call it ‘conspiracy theory’—call it ‘spoiler alert’.

The Department of Justice is suing California after state officials failed to comply with a 48-hour ultimatum to review a list of suspected noncitizen voters and set aside their ballots pending citizenship verification.

On Tuesday, acting Deputy Attorney General R. Trent McCotter sent letters to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber and Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Dean Logan, demanding action on a federal list of potential noncitizens.

The DOJ instructed officials to segregate ballots already returned, stop sending ballots to individuals on the list until their citizenship was verified, and refrain from counting ballots pending verification.

“Allowing noncitizens to vote cancels citizen votes,” McCotter wrote, according to a letter obtained by NBC News.

Gov. Gavin Newsom took to X, calling the demand “dangerous nonsense.”

About a dozen girls on a Washington state high school cross-country team forfeited a race Tuesday rather than compete against a male runner who switched from the boys team to the girls team mid-season.

Footage of the meet between Camas High School and Battle Ground High School in southwestern Washington shows the starting signal sounding and some runners beginning the race while the protesting girls walk forward before leaving the course.

“I don’t see how it’s OK to discriminate against my daughter and the daughters of everyone else that is trying to fairly compete,” Kevin Burns, whose daughter Holly led the protest, told OutKick.

Last month, a Camas sophomore male switched to the girls team midseason. After finishing 76th in a boys race, he has since won a varsity girls meet and placed second in two others, Outkick reported. The story has gained national attention, with teammates and opponents staging protests.

Camas School District Superintendent John Anzalone said the girls will not be penalized for refusing to compete.

“The girls are entitled to handle this however is best for them, and I was at the meet and it was peacefully done,” he told Outkick. “This was really about supporting and providing that space for the girls who did walk off to do so and not feel any repercussions.”

American taxpayer dollars were being used to prop up leftist candidates in the Western Hemisphere under former President Joe Biden, a top Brazilian politician who is now seeking refuge in the United States from incarceration under his country’s socialist government, told the Daily Signal on Wednesday.

Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is now imprisoned, and brother of current presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, made his remarks after eight countries in the region elected conservative candidates for president since Secretary of State Marco Rubio defunded the U.S. Agency for International Development in 2025.

“Absolutely, after my dad left the presidency, there was an increase in American money via USAID, NED (The National Endowment for Democracy), and the Atlantic Council for Brazil- money that belongs to the American taxpayer. We are talking about $300 million Brazilian Reais ($60 million USD). Now we need to combat the misinformation that the money helped raise.

“For example, we know that at least $5 million USD reached Brazil in 2022 to create these agencies that combat any sort of public criticism of the socialist government, which these agencies referred to as ‘right-wing misinformation,’” Bolsonaro continued.

Aubagne is a town on the Côte d’Azur in southern France. On Monday a troubled 14-year-old boy came to school in Aubagne with a shotgun concealed in a guitar case. Once inside, he opened fire, wounding his principal and a teacher.

It took awhile before any news story mentioned the ethnicity of the alleged gunboy. However, it eventually emerged that he was of Ethiopian origin, and had carried a keffiyeh in his guitar case. There are as yet no reports that “Allahu Akhbar” was heard during the incident.

Fortune, a Voice of the Crust.

At 23, Emil Barr is already a millionaire building a business in Columbus, Ohio. But San Francisco’s investors and AI scene caught his eye—enough that the Flashpass founder told Fortune he signed a lease to move there about a year ago.

He changed his mind after looking more closely at California’s regulatory and tax environment, including its proposed billionaire wealth tax, which helped persuade him to cancel the move entirely. He wouldn’t owe the tax under the current proposal, but fears it could pave the way for taxes on millionaires like him.

“I think it was less of a matter of immediate finances,” Barr told Fortune. Instead, he pointed to what he described as California’s “anti-entrepreneurial” political rhetoric.

The stark difference in media treatment a worse average inflation rate under Biden received vs. the Armageddon-level coverage a retrospectively tamer inflation situation under Trump got was first exposed via an analysis conducted by MRC Business and CNSNews.

Now, just before the midterm elections this November, the tale of two inflation rates just got worse for the furiously spinning partisan journalists who covered them.

Using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, MRC Business and CNSNews researchers analyzed inflation rates across the seven-month midterm election season span of the Iran War during President Donald Trump’s second year (March 2026—September 2026). For comparison, the data was then juxtaposed to the same timeframe during the midterm election season during President Joe Biden’s second year (March 2022 — September 2022). As MRC previously revealed, the disparity was massive, especially in light of the “transitory” media narrative voters were getting under Biden vs. the doom-and-gloom circling the Trump administration now.

An appeals court Wednesday rejected California’s mandate that federal immigration agents wear identification, asserting it violates the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

California’s No Vigilantes Act, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last year, requires nonuniformed law enforcement officers to display their agency and name or badge number during arrests, detentions, and crowd control enforcement. The law, aimed at regulating Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, established misdemeanor penalties for noncompliant agents.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a district court ruling upholding the law.

“The Supremacy Clause prohibits States from directly regulating federal operations even when regulating state operations in the same manner,” 9th Circuit Judge Mark Bennett, a Donald Trump appointee, wrote for the majority.

California contends the law was permissible under the Supremacy Clause since it didn’t exclusively interfere with federal operations.

However, the 9th Circuit determined even minimal interference is a state directly regulating federal activity.

Four of America’s largest banks relied on the Southern Poverty Law Center in decisions affecting conservative and religious organizations, according to a newly released federal debanking report.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency report, released Wednesday, details instances involving JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, PNC Bank, and TD Bank, all of which referenced the SPLC while denying loans to organizations or closing their accounts. The SPLC‘s map of hate groups lists some mainstream conservative and Christian groups alongside Klan chapters, due to the groups’ views on marriage, immigration, critical race theory, or opposition to radical Islam.

“No American should be locked out of the banking system for being conservative or Christian,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told the Daily Signal. “Reports that major financial institutions relied on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s politically motivated labels to deny services to conservatives are deeply troubling and demand answers.”

Critics have long argued that the SPLC’s accusations have real-world consequences—including debanking.

One day after federal agents raided Ilhan Omar’s Washington home, we lear that her congressional staff got her birth year changed in Minnesota’s official legislative records in May 2019, moving it from 1981 to 1982 – months after she was sworn into Congress. Alpha News was first to the punchbowl on this one last December. In light of the federal raid on Omar’s DC home… well, check it out.

…

Omar has said she derived citizenship through her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, when he naturalized in 2000, and the law then required the child to be under 18 when the parent naturalized. Born in 1981, she’d have been an adult all of 2000 – the year she says she became a citizen at 17, the NY Post reports.

For her two years in the Minnesota House and more than four months into her congressional term, the state’s Legislative Reference Library listed her birthday as Oct. 4, 1981, the same date carried by Wikipedia, the BBC and Congress’s own Biographical Directory.

In a Monday appearance on The View’s Behind the Table podcast, ABC co-host Sunny Hostin doubled down on equating the upcoming execution of convicted terrorist Nidal Hasan, and its possible public view ability, as equivalent to public lynchings of black men in the South. She took it a step further and equated it to the recorded beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl by ISIS terrorists.

And in an additional example of Hostin seeing everything through the prism of chronic racial grievance, on Tuesday’s episode of The View, she suggested it was racist of President Trump to accurately describe Somalia as a failed state.

A Democratic candidate for local office in deep-red rural Indiana delivered a rambling, apparently intoxicated performance during a televised candidate forum, responding to a standard policy question by declaring she would fire Republicans, calling MAGA supporters racist and unintelligent, and closing with the line “We have guns too.”

Jaime West, the Democratic nominee for Fayette County Council District 4, appeared on LocalTV3’s October 9 candidate forum, hosted by Connersville News-Examiner managing editor Amy Graham-McCarty. When asked what one decision she would make that might be unpopular with some voters but in the county’s best interest, West paused, asked the moderator to repeat the question, and then answered: “Firing all Republicans. I wouldn’t let them… I don’t even talk to them. I don’t like them.”

She continued that the county’s own state representative had voted against her own party, then shifted to blaming local voters for “this ICE coming into our communities, stealing people’s jobs.” West distinguished between “good Republicans” and “these MAGAs,” describing the latter as “just racist and aren’t very intelligent at all.” She also claimed she had been “threatened so many times to my face by MAGA,” including an allegation that “the sheriff’s nephew threatened to blow my head off.”

Today the king of Spain, Felipe VI, paid a visit to Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in North Africa adjacent to Morocco. The king made a point of visiting a Christian cemetery to honor Spanish soldiers who were killed fighting the Moors during the Reconquista.

Haha, just kidding! Of course the king didn’t pay his respects to the heroes of Spanish history. No, instead he made a point of visiting a Muslim cemetery, where more than 140 of the recent invaders who drowned trying to enter Ceuta are buried.

The featured photos for tonight’s report show two of the “migrants” in the camp on the beach at Ceuta engaged in specifically Islamic activities: reading the Koran and practicing salat, or Islamic prayer. It’s a reminder that Morocco still doesn’t recognize Spanish sovereignty over the enclave/exclave. Muslims consider the territory to be part of the Ummah, subject to waqfrules. The young man praying inside a circle of drink bottles has created a rudimentary mosque, and by praying in it he is asserting its status as a piece of Islamic territory.

Whether you call it the Department of War or still prefer to call it the Department of Defense, the military has used the same eagle logo since 1949, but NBC’s Saturday Night Live landed firmly in the realm of fake news on Saturday as it alleged Secretary Pete Hegseth’s design has “a Nazi vibe.”

During the cold open, Colin just portrayed Hegseth addressing sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln, “I also unveiled the new logo for the Department of War. Yeah, pretty sick, right? Check that out. Huh? Yeah.”

In real life, the “controversy” over the logo occurred because of a speech Hegseth gave at the Air Force Academy, during which Andrew Dismukes played a sailor who asked, “Sorry, is that a Nazi eagle?”

The new logo is different in some respects, but the eagle clutching three arrows is the same that has been in place since 1949. The DOW/DOD eagle is also strikingly similar to the eagle that officers at the O-6 paygrade wear. It is, simply put, not a Nazi logo.

A recent documentary by former Virginia congressman Nick Freitas titled “The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West” warns viewers about the risks created by the Islamification of Western civilization.

The film focuses primarily on the negative impacts of cultural norms related to the treatment of women and girls, with a reviewer noting allegations of “a significant problem of organized, industrial-scale rapes being conducted by mostly Muslim men” in the UK.

Relatedly, another recent column noted that “seven of the top 10 countries with the highest prevalence of child marriage have a Muslim-majority,” and went on to ask: “Why does Islam appear so frequently in discussions surrounding religious persecution, terrorism, and certain forms of sexual violence?” Similar concerns have also been raised about the cultural roots of rampant fraud we’ve seen in places like Minneapolis.

And even more recent fiery riots in France have left some “pointing to second and third-generation immigrant youths–many from Muslim North African and sub-Saharan backgrounds–as the core of the violence.”

Perhaps pulling all the foregoing together, Douglas Murray argues that “the West remain[s] at war with Islamic radicals.”

Importantly, while conservatives cherish individual liberty and religious freedom, those commitments are perverted when it is claimed that only a nihilistic multiculturalism properly embodies those values.

A recent Gallup poll found that 43 percent of Americans have a positive view of socialism, the highest share since the polling firm began asking the question in 2010. The greatest support, 57 percent, comes from people under age 35 who weren’t yet born when the fall of the Soviet Union uncovered how socialism treated the people of Russia and eastern Europe.

Decades of propaganda about how well socialism was working were swept away with the collapse of the soviet government revealing instead industries that made bad products in response to perverse incentives; grocery stores with only a handful of consumer goods on their shelves; and elite bureaucrats, or nomenklatura, who controlled the system for their own benefit.

We don’t have to look overseas to learn how poorly socialism works. The United States has its own experiment in pure socialism: the urban transit industry. This $100 billion a year industry produces about $10 billion in annual benefits to consumers (as measured by the amounts they were willing to pay in transit fares) and $90 billion in annual costs to taxpayers that end up in the pockets of agency bureaucrats, employees, and contractors.

With taxpayers footing the bill for public education, including through property taxes, 51.3% of survey respondents said Arizonans are getting a very poor return on their investment. Another 27.1% said it was a somewhat poor return.

Just 14.5% considered public education to be providing a good return for their spending, while 7.2% were unsure.

Majorities of conservatives, liberals, and moderates say they’re getting a poor return on public education spending, including 67.2% of Democrats.

It seems that the European Parliament has finally decided to “fight” the Muslim Brotherhood. Now that the horse has long since been stolen, the EU wants to close the barn door!

I can’t tell you how excited that makes me.

Perhaps coincidentally, the news from Strasbourg comes at the same time as news that Abdul El-Sayed has been revealed as a Muslim Brotherhood operative. For our non-American readers, Mr. El-Sayed is the far-left (Democrat) candidate for the Senate to represent Michigan in next month’s election. As The Washington Free Beacon reported, Mr. El-Sayed recently denied in an interview (twice) that he was in any way involved with the Ikhwan, but its reporter discovered posts by his sister from social media in 2012 and 2013 where she had said that he and the whole family were affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

I don’t know how one can reconcile those two contradictory statements. After all, everyone knows that devout Muslims always tell the truth when speaking to infidels.

It may be too little, too late, but the EP is finally attempting to deal with the “Islamist” Ikhwan problem.

Dutch dairy co-operative FrieslandCampina, for example, no longer sells whey proteins for animal feed. Instead, it intends to turn more of the whey left over from cheesemaking into concentrated proteins for human nutrition.

For centuries whey has been seen as a byproduct of cheesemaking and used for fertiliser or animal feed. Now, says Guus Aerts, the co-op’s global director of marketing and product strategy, “to some extent, cheese has already become a byproduct of whey.”

This turnaround reflects a protein boom that is reshaping the food industry. From dairy co-operatives to meat processors, companies are extracting more valuable ingredients from materials they once sold cheaply, while food manufacturers compete to secure supplies. The appetite for protein is driving billions in factory investments and acquisitions.

“Protein is increasingly [dictating] what food companies produce, where they invest capital, and how they differentiate and grow,” says Brian Earnest, lead animal protein economist at agribusiness lender CoBank.
