Heather Lisle - Gen Z Lying

SURVEY: NEARLY HALF OF GEN Z ADMITS TO LYING ON JOB APPLICATIONSNew survey data indicates that one in four job applicants has lied, exaggerated or provided inaccurate information on their applications in some way, shape or form — and Gen Z leads the trend.  The findings from career.io — a career services platform — indicate nearly half (approximately 47%) of the age group admitted to falsifying some aspect of their job applications to fit the mold they think employers are looking for, followed by 38.5% of millennials, 20.4% of Gen Xers and 9.4% of baby boomers.  A spreadsheet detailing the survey data, provided to Fox News Digital, indicates that a majority of zoomers (slang for Gen Z) lied in key areas such as “work experience” (22.97%), and job “responsibilities” (28.38%), with “job title” coming in third at 17.57%.  The large percentages indicate some survey participants falsified more than one area of their job applications.  Across all generations, “work experience” and “responsibilities” ranked the highest out of all falsified categories, but to a lesser degree than zoomers.  Certified Professional Career Coach (CPCC) Amanda Augustine told Fox News Digital the prevailing reason for the falsehoods is that young applicants with limited experience are desperate to make a good first impression and get their foot in the door.

Brendan Steinhauser - 2028 President?

TRUMP SAYS VP VANCE WOULD BE 'PROBABLY FAVORED' FOR 2028 GOP PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION
Trump was at the South Court Auditorium where he signed an executive order to create a 2028 Los Angeles Olympics task force when senior Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked him if Vance was likely to become the face of the Make America Great Again movement after noting the president said he wouldn't be running for a third term. Trump noted that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could team up with Vance to create a formidable ticket. The president also said others in his Cabinet could possibly lead the MAGA movement. Trump and some of his allies have previously floated the idea of him running for a third term, which is constitutionally prohibited. Rubio ran against Trump during the 2016 primary but has since positioned himself as a Trump ally. Last month, Rubio dismissed speculation that he could be the Republican Party’s 2028 presidential nominee. Instead, he threw support behind Vance. "I think JD Vance would be a great nominee if he decides he wants to do that," Rubio said during an interview with Lara Trump that aired on the Fox News Channel.

Julie Harris - Texas Democrats Flee

PRITZKER SAYS TEXAS DEMOCRATS WHO FLED STATE WILL BE PROTECTED AMID ARREST THREATS Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said that the state would protect Texas Democrats who fled to the Prairie State over GOP efforts to redraw the Lone Star State’s congressional maps. “They’re here in Illinois. We’re going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them and make sure that — ’cause we know they’re doing the right thing, we know that they’re following the law,” Pritzker told reporters at a press conference Sunday night held alongside the Texas state lawmakers. “It’s Ken Paxton who doesn’t follow the law. It’s the leaders of Texas who are attempting not to follow the law,” he continued. “They’re the ones that need to be held accountable.” The Illinois governor’s comments came after Texas Democrats left their state to deny their GOP counterparts a quorum, or the minimum number of lawmakers needed to conduct business, during their special session. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) called the special session in part to push forward a new congressional map that would give Republicans five more pick-up opportunities, something President Trump has been pushing for as the GOP braces for a potentially challenging midterm election next year. A Texas House panel on Saturday advanced the set of maps, teeing them up for a vote on the House floor. Because Republicans enjoy majorities in both chambers and hold the governor’s mansion, the maps are all but assured to pass. National Federation of Republican Women President JULIE HARRIS
