During a recent episode of his podcast, Adam Carolla took aim at Hollywood liberals like Mark Ruffalo for wanting to keep Democrats in power, despite the horrible state of Hollywood and California in general.
Carolla pointed out that Democrats have been in control for years and that jobs in the entertainment industry have dried up as a result of left wing governance.
Of course, Carolla is using logic here and Hollywood liberals have shown repeatedly that they are resistant to that.
Partial transcript via Jay Plemons:
Mark Ruffalo wants to “take the country back” and give it to the same Democrats who destroyed Los Angeles.
Adam Carolla: “Ruffalo, you live in Los Angeles. It’s one of the shittiest, least efficiently run cities in the union and you live in it and all the jobs are gone, driven out by your people and taxes and red tape.
Do you see that?
Can you not think clearly?
You live in a town full of homeless, graffiti, and everything is way too expensive, gas is seven bucks a gallon, and your business is gone.
So Ruffalo, you of all people have to at least be a little agnostic about a Democrat majority versus Republicans.
You live in a shit town where everything’s too expensive and there’s no more jobs in this industry that I’m in, and that’s all under the purview of Democrats.

In another recent clip from Carolla, he talks about a friend of his who is an editor, who basically retired early because there is no more work for people like him. This is what Democrat rule has done to Hollywood. Watch:

CAROLLA: “I talked to a friend of mine… He’s been working as an editor nonstop for 32 years… and he goes, I’m retired. There’s no work.”

Leftists in Hollywood are simply captured by this backwards ideology that casts anything to the right of Bernie Sanders as evil.
They can’t even see it.

But I remember when Mike [Tyson] was in his prime, when he was the heavyweight champion of the world. He’d stand in the corner and his people would all be holding him back. He wanted to kill whoever it was,” Trump said. He was a very dangerous person actually, and he was one of the greatest fighters in history.”Trump then cracked a joke that Tyson was there to protect Blakeman.”I see him standing right next to Bruce Blakeman.

Alonzo Lunsford was one of the victims of the 2009 shooting by Nidal Hasan who lived and he is preparing to attend Hasan’s execution by firing squad.
This man really does not need to explain to anyone why he is attending the execution, but that’s just what he did today during an appearance on FOX News.
Lunsford was quite eloquent in his reasoning, and said that this is about closing a chapter.
From FOX News:
More than 15 years after surviving several gunshot wounds during a terrorist attack at Fort Hood, retired Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford is preparing to watch the man who shot him be executed.
Speaking on “America’s Newsroom,” Lunsford explained why he wants to attend the execution, which President Donald Trump recently approved to be carried out by firing squad.
“You live by the sword, you die by the sword,” Lunsford said. “And the way that he went about doing his deed was a coward’s way because we didn’t have any way to defend ourselves that day.”…
Standing at 6-foot-9, Lunsford was shot several times, including once in the head. He believes attending the execution could bring closure to survivors and grieving families.
“It’s for two reasons. One is to give the families of the deceased a chance to close a chapter and also the survivors to close a chapter,” Lunsford said of the execution.
“And it sends a clear message that we will not stand for this activity in any of our armed services or in the United States,” he added.
Lunsford said that for him and others affected by the attack, even holidays are not the same, adding that families of the deceased will “never get a chance to cherish a Christmas, a Thanksgiving, an Easter” with their loved ones again.
Watch the video below:

China Buys Record Amount Of Gold As India Panics, Scraps Key Tax Relief On Precious Imports

Gold is climbing notably this morning, underscoring the potential for the precious metal to ratchet higher into year-end thanks to sustained buying from central banks and retail investors. 

On the retail side, the total known ETF holdings of bullion are up this week, set to match the 12-week streak of gains posted through April 18, 2025. 

That means the stockpile exceeds the peak touched just before the outbreak of the Iran war.

And central banks are backing up the truck as The Financial Times reports that China has spent a record sum importing more than 1,000 tonnes of gold this year as the central bank and local investors pour cash into bullion amid rising geopolitical tensions abroad and poor returns on local assets.

The world’s second-largest economy spent $158.8bn on gold in the first eight months of the year. That compared with spending of $96.5bn for all of 2025 on 886 tonnes of gold.

The jump comes after China reined in gold purchases last year during an intense rally that sent bullion prices soaring from about $2,625 a troy ounce at the start of 2025 to a peak of $5,595 in January.

There are signs that Chinese investors are increasing gold purchases as part of broader efforts to diversify their assets. Chinese holdings of US Treasuries fell to $618bn in July — the lowest level since August 2008. 

“Both the central bank and private investors are diversifying their reserves and savings towards an asset with no counterparty risk, as part of a broader long-term wealth preservation strategy,” said Lisa Liu, managing director at Gold Mountains Asset Management, part of Zijin Mining Group — China’s largest gold miner. 

But not everyone is embracing domestic demand for the barbarous relic…

India cut a key precious metals import tax relief policy overnight amid the country’s broader 2026 efforts to curb non-essential gold imports, ease pressure on foreign exchange reserves, and support the rupee amid high fuel costs and currency weakness.

The official stated reason is tax parity: to stop the tax treatment itself from making one import route (banks/nominated agencies) preferential over others (including channels such as the India International Bullion Exchange).

Simply put, the specific ‘key gold import tax relief’ being scrapped is the bank IGST exemption (framed politically as parity), but it is part of the same policy environment of measures taken earlier in 2026 explicitly aimed at moderating gold imports and protecting forex reserves:

In mid-May 2026 the government sharply raised effective customs duty on gold and silver from 6% to 15% (basic customs duty to 10% + Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess to 5%), with platinum rising similarly. Officials framed this as curbing non-essential/discretionary imports so foreign exchange could be prioritized for essentials (crude oil, fertilizers, industrial inputs, etc.) amid the West Asia crisis, elevated oil prices, and pressure on the rupee.

PM Modi publicly appealed to citizens to avoid gold purchases for a year.

Other steps included tighter rules on certain import schemes, delays in licenses/notifications, and related restrictions.

Higher import costs for gold reduce demand (or at least slow it), ease the current-account and FX drain, and thereby help limit further depreciation – the same logic that has driven gold-duty adjustments in past periods of external stress.

So China is backing up a very big truck, Retail is BTFDing in ETF-land, and India is still panicking over fuel costs (desperate to slow domestic demand for the only thing that hedges its currency’s collapse).

“This isn’t a short-term trade, it’s a multiyear repositioning of household and official assets. The scale and persistence of Chinese buying is now a core driver of global gold prices and we expect it to hold as long as uncertainty over growth and geopolitics remains,” said Liu.

As Bloomberg’s Garfield Reynolds notes, October in particular is looking like a sweet spot with rates traders sticking to bets that the Fed will delay any hikes until December, and with central bank appetite also showing little sign of abating, the level of demand out there has allowed bullion to show some resilience in the face of higher real yields and the resulting strength in the US dollar.

Gold is becoming an increasingly important diversifier for global investors at a time when government bonds no longer move inversely to stock markets.

Christopher Hamilton, Invesco’s head of client solutions for Asia Pacific ex-Japan, said gold prices had ceased to behave as they did during periods of rising real yields, which in the past caused gold prices to drop. “You’re in an environment where you want to own real assets,” he said.

A Wisconsin woman pretended to be a school teacher so she could abuse white children and segregate the students by race.
Amy Jones, 23, posed as a substitute teacher at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee on September 24.
Jones told investigators she was “bored,” so she went to the high school and told staff that she was a substitute teacher.
Staff at Rufus King High School allowed Jones to substitute teach for the day after eight other teachers called in sick.
Jones admitted to having the ‘birds and the bees” talk with the students in the classroom.
According to the students, Jones screamed at them and abused the white boys in the class. She used “profane language and racial slurs.’
Jones allegedly told the white students that they looked like the type to start school shootings.
The imposter teacher also told the young girls that they looked like hookers.
Jones was arrested and charged with six felony counts and is facing up to 20 years in prison.
WISN reported:
According to Milwaukee County prosecutors, Jones, a former student at the school, entered the building on Sept. 24, told office staff she was a substitute teacher, and was placed in a classroom for the first three periods.
Students reported to a school resource officer that Jones was “using profane language, racial slurs, sexually derogative statements and organizing students by race and gender in class.”
A 16-year-old boy told police, “The teacher was cursing and screaming at the students and that she called a student ‘fat boy,’ asked a student if she wanted to be a stripper or a hooker,” and told two white boys in the class “they were the type of people to start school shootings.”
Students also told police that Jones asked them if they were gay or virgins. At least one student recorded her behavior and shared the video with police.
The school principal told police that eight teachers had called in sick that day, and only seven of those positions were filled. She said she believed Jones “got lucky because there happened to be an unfilled position.”
The principal became aware of the situation during the third period and had Jones escorted from the building.

Wisconsin woman pretends to be a school teacher just so she could call the kids fat and separate them by race.
23-year-old Amy Jones was reportedly “bored,” so she walked into Rufus King High School and told staff she was a substitute.
The school believed her and assigned her to a class.
Jones then walked into the classroom and separated the kids by race.
She then singled out multiple students, calling one a future hooker, another fat, and said some of the students looked like they were the type of people who had incest.
Jones faces 20 years in prison. She says she did the stunt because she was bored and “hates kids and just wanted to mess around.”
Diabolical.
