In the latest irrelevant political news, President and Venal Houseplant Joe Biden did not attend this week’s U.N. Climate Crisis Conference because he’s been dead for six months and the whole climate thing is crap anyway. Making the announcement to what was either the White House Press Corps or a collection of animatronic Pirates of the Caribbean purchased at the Disney asset fire sale, presidential spokeswoman Karine Jean Identity Hire said, “Speaking as a black lesbian woman, I want to assure you that this is a president who would be fully engaged in this important issue if he were fully engaged and this were an important issue. As it is, the pressing business of pulling the rug out from under our allies in Ukraine and Israel is commanding what would be all of his attention if he were paying attention, speaking as a black lesbian woman.” The press corps responded by drunkenly chasing slave girls around the deck of a burning ship and repeatedly saying, &#8220;Arrrr&#8221; — as usual.
The late houseplant’s failure to show up at the U.N. Conference was greeted with anger by climate activists and other suckers. Mentally ill Swedish Girl Greta Thunberg took time off from calling for the slaughter of Jews to protest the president’s irrelevant inaction in an impassioned speech delivered to a gathering of her hallucinations. Thunberg said, “I’m very disappointed in the president’s remains. He must address this completely invented issue quickly before it develops into a totally imaginary crisis. The world is rapidly growing hotter or colder or whatever it’s supposed to be doing, and if this continues or stops or whatever it’s supposed to do next, we will soon be forced to find some other reason to be hysterical and hand over all our freedoms to faceless international bureaucrats or any of the other magical creatures who appear when I go off my meds.”
The anger over the lamented president’s failure to show up for the U.N.’s urgent gathering of corrupt and sinister grifters is only one of many rifts beginning to appear in the Democrat Party. Polls now show that younger Democrats are becoming disillusioned with the administration because they feel Biden just doesn’t hate Jews enough. The leader of Harvard’s Young Democrat Society, Adolf Jihad, speaking at a riot hosted by the university’s debate club, said, “We denounce the president’s support of genocide because he refuses to join Hamas in their stated mission to exterminate the Jewish people — so, okay, maybe we don’t exactly know what the word genocide means, but then, we’re Ivy Leaguers so total ignorance has never stopped us from holding insane opinions with absolute self-certainty.”
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1158-hello-lady-ballers-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show</a></h4>
Karine Jean Identity Hire sought to reassure the Nazi Harvard group, saying “Speaking as a black lesbian woman, I want to assure the Hitlerian half of the Democrat party, that the vocal support for Jews the president would be expressing if he were still with us will always be backed 100% by clandestine and insidious actions meant to undermine Israeli security and strengthen an Iranian nation bent on eradicating first the Jews and then the rest of us, speaking as a black lesbian woman who is speaking for a black homosexual man who is speaking to Anthony Blinken who is secretly running the government.”
Some Democrats fear that the divisions in their party could lower their chances of winning the next election because Biden is now so unpopular that even the mules may cast their packets of forged votes for someone else. But the fact is, the Republican Party is divided as well. Some Republicans, for instance, intend to vote for Donald Trump while others would prefer to shine a magic enlargement ray on Trump and blow him up to the size of Godzilla so he can crush Democrat cities beneath his enormous feet and then devour their inhabitants. Still other Republicans would like to vote for Trump first and then enlarge him so he can unleash his atomic heat ray breath and warm the planet until the rapidly decaying Biden is forced to go to the U.N. climate conference and stink the place up.
The Republicans hope these internal conflicts about Trump will be resolved in the next debate between Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer <a href="https://www.wnem.com/2023/11/28/watch-live-whitmer-signs-michigan-jobs-michigan-energy-bill-package/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> Democrat-proposed energy bills Tuesday, giving the state some of the most rigid energy mandates in the nation.
The Democrats’ green energy plan — a package of three bills passed along party lines — requires utility providers to transition to completely carbon-free energy generation by the end of the next decade, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/michigan-democrats-clean-energy-301c639cc089fca26a746ad2f4baff3d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The mandate, which is even more fast-tracked than the green energy bill passed in <a href="https://www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/topics/renewable-energy/clean-energy-serving-california#:~:text=Senate%20Bill%20100%20(2018)%20set,zero%20carbon%20energy%20by%202045.">California</a>, will force utility companies to generate half of their energy through renewable sources by 2030, 60% by 2035, and 100% by 2040.
“With passage of these game-changing bills, Michigan will become a national leader on clean energy,” Whitmer said in a <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/news/press-releases/2023/11/08/governor-whitmer-statement-on-passage-of-clean-energy-legislation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> earlier this month. “These bills will help us make more clean, reliable energy right here in Michigan, creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs, and lowering utility costs for every Michigander by an average of $145 a year.”
Still, some far-Left environmental activists were not completely happy with the legislation, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/whitmer-signs-clean-energy-package-make-michigan-carbon-free-2040-rcna126977" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticizing</a> the mandate for allowing utility providers to use carbon capture technology and saying that it fails to “adequately reduce greenhouse gas emissions while bringing more pollution to Black, Brown, Indigenous and poor communities.”
Republicans in the state House and Senate on the other hand said the mandate would effectively ban natural gas and take control of hundreds of thousands of acres of land for renewable energy.
Michigan Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt told The Daily Wire in a phone interview that Michigan&#8217;s power outage problem, which is already <a href="https://www.axios.com/local/detroit/2023/09/05/michigan-power-outage-rates-double-the-national-average" target="_blank" rel="noopener">double</a> the national rate, would only get worse thanks to the Democrats&#8217; bill.
“This does nothing to correct the issues on the distribution system. All this does is increases the likelihood of power outages and decreases reliability,” said Nesbitt.
Nesbitt added that the law will also “industrialize” Michigan farmland, meaning that the law&#8217;s land requirement for renewable energy will “preempt” residents from having any say in how local land is used.

“Currently, 50,000 acres are used for renewable energy. This will mandate that over 350,000 new acres of land will have to be pushed into renewable energy,” he said.
An <a href="https://www.mackinac.org/pressroom/2023/new-energy-bills-would-increase-costs-and-blackouts">analysis</a> from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy also found that the new green energy mandate will cost residents an extra $2,746 a year while giving them less reliable electricity. Republican House Floor Leader Bryan Posthumus told The Daily Wire, “Without a doubt, these mandates will lead to higher costs and lower reliability.”
&#8220;In government, you literally get what you pay for,&#8221; Posthumus added. &#8220;By mandating wind and solar, only the governor has taken many other necessary and useful options off the table to score points with the coastal elites. Michigan could have been the national leader in how to do renewable the right way. Instead, Whitmer chose the strong-arm approach with an eye on a 2028 presidential run. It really is truly disappointing.&#8221;
Many residents of Marquette Township, Michigan, which is in the state&#8217;s Upper Peninsula, voiced frustration with their Democratic Representative Jenn Hill after she joined Democrats in passing the energy mandate. After a meeting last week, Forsyth Township Supervisor Joe Boogren said questions were not being answered on the issue, TV6 <a href="https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2023/11/20/tensions-high-townhall-about-energy-laws/">reported</a>.
“We can read. We’re not as dumb as you think we are or make us out to be, and we wanted to talk to you as elected officials to elected official and ask you questions that mean something, not go for this,” Boogren said.

New Jersey officials announced Tuesday that the state would be joining a growing list of Democrat-led states slated to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035.
New Jersey becomes at least the <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/advanced-clean-cars-program/advanced-clean-cars-ii">17th state</a> to follow some or all of California’s Advanced Clean Cars II rule that was passed by a regulatory board in the summer of 2022. Democratic Governor Phil Murphy said the move will help “lower emissions and improve air quality,” claiming that the new rule will also “preserve consumer choice.” 
“The steps we take today to lower emissions will improve air quality and mitigate climate impacts for generations to come, all while increasing access to cleaner car choices,” Murphy <a href="https://nj.gov/governor/news/news/562023/approved/20231121a.shtml">said</a> in a press release. &#8220;Indeed, together with my Administration’s continuing investments in voluntary electric vehicle incentives, charging infrastructure, and the green economy, these new standards will preserve consumer choice and promote affordability for hardworking New Jerseyans across the state.”
The Garden State joins California, Vermont, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Virginia, Rhode Island, Maryland, and Connecticut in committing to implement the complete ban on new gas-powered vehicles, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4323323-new-jersey-gas-ev/">reported</a>. The ban will not affect gas-powered vehicles already owned or the sale of used gas-powered vehicles. 
Murphy’s decision was hailed by fellow Democrats, including Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., who said the ban would help fight the “climate crisis.” 
“This rule will reduce climate pollution while also saving New Jerseyans money at the pump and spurring investments in building clean cars right here at home,” Pallone Jr. added. “Paired with the investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, New Jersey’s action will accelerate the process of transforming our transportation sector for the benefit of public health and the environment.”
Not everyone was pleased with the state’s adoption of the gas-powered vehicle ban, however. 
“Automotive retailers, which have already invested billions in electric vehicles … warned that a heavy-handed mandate will not work for the dealers — especially with unsold EVs piling up on lots all around the country,” said Ray Cantor of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, which has lobbied against the rule.

The push for electric vehicles has also been strongly supported by the Biden administration even as manufacturers such as Ford have lost money on their EV production. Ford <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ford-gets-9-2-billion-loan-from-biden-admin-for-ev-battery-factories-biggest-check-since-2009-bailouts">received</a> a $9.2 billion loan from the Biden administration intended to help construct three electric vehicle battery plants in the U.S. The Motor company <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ford-loses-billions-on-electric-cars-embraces-hybrids">said</a> in July that it expected to lose $4.5 billion from its EVs this year.

A former Democrat Maryland mayor who described Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as his &#8220;mentor&#8221; was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Monday for possessing and distributing child sex abuse material.
Patrick Wojahn was the mayor of College Park and a popular leftist politician until he resigned in March, the day before his arrest on child pornography charges.
College Park is just outside Washington, D.C., and home to the state&#8217;s flagship University of Maryland campus.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Wojahn, 48, pled guilty in August to 140 counts related to possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material, court records <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-md-college-park-mayor-patrick-wojahn-child-pornography-sentenced-20231120-bddw33qv5jfrtdv5ax5nquj2bm-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a>. The charges in the indictment <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-wp-md-cr-former-college-park-mayor-indicted-20230330-shji4en24ba6nng52jcuujamza-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">included</a> both misdemeanors and felonies, some of which have 10-year maximum penalties.
A Prince George’s County Circuit Court judge officially sentenced him to 150 years behind bars, but she suspended most of that sentence, leaving just 30 years, <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-md-college-park-mayor-patrick-wojahn-child-pornography-sentenced-20231120-bddw33qv5jfrtdv5ax5nquj2bm-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to court records. The suspended sentence means that if Wojahn violates the conditions of his release when he is let out, a judge can lock him up again for 120 years. His sentence also requires him to register as a sex offender and includes five years of supervised probation after his release.
In Maryland, convicts of nonviolent crimes are eligible for parole after serving just 25% of their sentence.
Prince George&#8217;s County officials said they were tipped off to Wojahn&#8217;s crimes in February by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which notified them of a social media account, “skippy_md,” that had uploaded child pornography to the messaging app Kik in January.
Detectives traced the account to Wojahn’s government email address and later searched Wojahn’s home, seizing several electronic devices, including three cell phones.
Police said Wojahn admitted to owning the social media account while being interviewed by detectives during the search of his house.
Authorities found videos and images of more than 500 children on Wojahn’s cellphone, Assistant State’s Attorney Monica Meyers said at a press conference. Detectives and prosecutors identified 52 of the exploited children, and several submitted victim impact statements that prosecutors read aloud in court.

“It instructs us that child pornography is not simply about images. It’s about the pain behind the images, the tragedies that have occurred in these young people’s lives that should never have happened to them,” said Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy at a news conference after Wojahn&#8217;s sentencing.
“No child deserves to be sexually abused. No child deserves for their images to be displayed on the internet or any platform for hundreds or thousands or possibly millions of people to view,” she said.
Wojahn was serving his second term as mayor of College Park before he was arrested. Before being elected, he served eight years as city councilman. He previously graduated from Georgetown University Law Center.
Several years ago, Wojahn described Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as his &#8220;mentor.&#8221;
“I actually met Mayor Pete Buttigieg shortly after I was elected mayor in 2015,” Wojahn <a href="https://www.washingtonblade.com/2019/11/14/re-elected-college-park-mayor-discusses-politics-future-plans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Washington Blade, an LGBT news site, in 2019. “I went to the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Winter Meeting in D.C. in January and he was assigned to be my buddy.”
“I now serve in a leadership role as vice chair of city livability and bicycling in part due to his mentorship,” Wojahn told the outlet.
Wojahn and Buttigieg are both gay and married to men.
Wojahn has also visited the White House several times since President Biden took office and <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/maryland-mayor-arrested-on-child-porn-charges-visited-white-house-at-least-six-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rubbed</a> shoulders with other D.C. political players including then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep.

He has also <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/maryland-mayor-arrested-on-child-porn-charges-visited-white-house-at-least-six-times/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donated</a> thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and committees.

A top <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> Democrat said on Sunday that there would be consequences for any delegate who helped a group of anti-Israel protesters that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anti-israel-protesters-disrupt-california-democratic-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interrupted a party convention</a> in Sacramento on Saturday.
Rusty Hicks, a <a href="https://cadem.org/team/rusty-hicks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former union leader</a> who is now chairman of the California Democratic Party (CDP), said an investigation is underway into the disruption that led officials to nix some events the night before for security reasons, <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/joegarofoli/article/ceasefre-democrats-convention-18496428.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&amp;utm_source=t.co&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the San Francisco Chronicle.</a>

Hundreds of demonstrators pressed their way into the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center and disrupted events as they called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces are fighting Hamas after terrorist attacks in Israel last month.
Hicks said he was &#8220;deeply saddened and disappointed&#8221; by the chaos, noting two security guards sustained injuries and acknowledging Jewish attendees &#8220;were openly intimidated and harassed,&#8221; per POLITICO.
He emphasized, &#8220;Every delegate, volunteer, staff person and attendee has the right to be safe and to feel safe in the peaceful expression of their own voice and viewpoint.&#8221;

Members of the Jewish community explained their objections to the behavior of the demonstrators at the convention at a time when there has been a <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/gaza-crisis-antisemitism-us-hamas-israel-palestine-rcna123163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spike in anti-Semitic incidents</a> across the United States.
&#8220;Anti-Israel protesters stormed the Sacramento Convention Center and shut down the grassroots California Democratic Party Convention. In doing so, they chanted, among other things, ‘from the river to the sea,’ which is a call for the eradication of the State of Israel. They also chanted ‘resistance is justified when people are occupied,’ an apparent reference to Hamas’s October 7 attack — the largest mass murder, rape, and kidnapping of Jews since the Holocaust,&#8221; said the California Legislative Jewish Caucus in a <a href="https://jewishcaucus.legislature.ca.gov/press-release/2023-11-18-california-legislative-jewish-caucus-condemns-storming-democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
“A number of Jewish delegates — who were already very anxious attending the convention, given the spike in antisemitism since the October 7 massacre by Hamas — now believe it is unsafe to participate at all. We must never allow the Democratic Party to be unsafe for anyone,&#8221; the group added. “We fully support the right to protest loudly and vociferously. But storming through security and shutting down a democratic process — particularly with chants calling for the destruction of Israel and appearing to justify the Hamas attack — is completely unacceptable.”

Yet another arm of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic Party</a> got rattled by nearly 1,000 anti-Israel protesters at a convention held in Sacramento, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a>, on Saturday.
Demonstrators &#8220;barged&#8221; into the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center and opened doors to let in more people, a security breach that prompted officials to clamp down and nix some events scheduled for the evening, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-11-18/california-democratic-party-convention-locked-down-amid-anti-israel-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Los Angeles Times</a>.
&#8220;Due to circumstances beyond our control, and for the safety and security of our delegates and convention participants, we are canceling tonight’s caucus meetings, hospitality suites, and VoteFest taking place at the convention center,&#8221; said Shery Yang, the communications director for the California Democrats.
Protesters reportedly marched around the convention center with &#8220;Free Palestine&#8221; signs, chanting for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and criticizing President Joe Biden over his administration&#8217;s support of Israel in its fight against Hamas after terrorist attacks on Israeli soil last month. Demonstrators reportedly blocked delegates from entering and exiting the building.
At one particular event — a U.S. Senate candidate forum — protesters staged a sit-in, and a small group disrupted Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Katie Porter (D-CA), who have not called for a Gaza ceasefire but did not interrupt Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who ended her remarks by calling for a ceasefire, <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article282015778.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per The Sacramento Bee</a>.
Naomi Goldman, a Democrats for Israel California board member, said she was &#8220;eagerly anticipating meaningful comment from my party on hate speech and violence targeting the Jewish community,” adding, “as well as a total denunciation of what delegates did to disrupt our assembly, and how it will ensure safe inclusive spaces for everyone who hold a diversity of opinions.”

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, chairwoman of the California Democratic Party Progressive Caucus, said the organizers shut down the convention because &#8220;a lot of protesters kind of went in and they weren&#8217;t able to check them,&#8221; reported <a href="https://www.kcra.com/article/pro-palestine-demonstrators-interrupt-california-democratic-convention-in-sacramento/45882783#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local NBC affiliate KCRA 3</a>. Talking about &#8220;civil disobedience,&#8221; Iqbal-Zubair added that a &#8220;disruption has to happen in a democracy for something drastic to change.&#8221;
The chaotic display in Sacramento took place just days after demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in Gaza clashed with police at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-national-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic National Committee</a> (DNC) headquarters in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Capitol Police said those demonstrators were &#8220;not peaceful&#8221; and ignored orders to move back from the building. In the ensuing standoff, six officers were injured — including getting pepper sprayed and being punched — and one person was arrested for assaulting an officer, the Capitol Police <a href="https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/uscp-statement-unlawful-demonstration-outside-dnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said.</a>

&#8220;Dude, it&#8217;s the craziest thing. I have friends who support [former President Donald] Trump,&#8221; said Johnson. &#8220;I have friends who support [President Joe] Biden.”
Rogan then cut off the &#8220;The Rock&#8221; asking him to clarify if he &#8220;really&#8221; has &#8220;friends who support Biden,&#8221; and Johnson replied, &#8220;No.&#8221;
&#8220;Oh no, no, no, no, no, here&#8217;s what I do. I have friends. Thank you,&#8221; Johnson admitted. &#8220;That&#8217;s a good check because that&#8217;s important. This is important context. &#8230; I have friends who are loyal to the [Democratic] Party.&#8221;

When Karl pressed Moore to explain his stance, Moore added, &#8220;Because, if you look at what No Labels is, No Labels literally has no plan, has no path, has no policy platform. They don&#8217;t even have a candidate.&#8221;

Other candidates, beyond the GOP primary, are campaigning for a shot at the presidency. Among them are Robert F.

Karl asked Moore whether third-party candidates might siphon enough support to guarantee victory for former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner.
&#8220;No. Because I think what President Biden is going to continue to show is that results do matter. You know, it&#8217;s one thing to say we&#8217;re going to rail against the system, and it&#8217;s another thing to actually work to make systems better. And that&#8217;s what I think President Biden has continued to show,&#8221; Moore said.
He added later, &#8220;I think all the other things will just sound like noise, while President Biden&#8217;s results will sound like actually what they are, real, productive momentum for the people of this country.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illinois">Illinois</a> Democrats allowed the state&#8217;s only school choice program to expire this week.
The Invest in Kids tax credit scholarship program will sunset at the end of the current school year after Illinois legislators ended the fall legislative session on Thursday without taking action to renew it.
The $75 million program <a href="https://www.wbez.org/stories/illinois-controversial-private-school-scholarship-program-is-ending/849c1d35-b525-4dde-adbf-9147aa38a224" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awards</a> an income tax credit to taxpayers who donate to scholarship funds that allow lower-income students to attend private schools.
About 9,700 Illinois students received scholarships last school year. The average family income for scholarship students was $45,000, <a href="https://empowerillinois.org/wp-content/uploads/EI_Y5_Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Empower Illinois, the state’s largest scholarship granting organization.
Republicans and some Chicago-area Democrats had pushed to renew a slimmed-down version of the program for five years. The new version would have cut the program to $50 million, slashed the tax credit amount, and reduced the donation cap from $1 million to $500,000 as well as focused more on low-income students.
However, the majority of Democrats in the state House never backed the proposal, and Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch, a Democrat, declined to call the bill to the floor.
On Monday, a group of Illinois House Democrats <a href="https://twitter.com/janschakowsky/status/1721674773669834859" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for scrapping the program, arguing that school vouchers &#8220;perpetuate and deepen the education inequities that plague Illinois&#8221; and complaining that many of the private schools are &#8220;run by religious groups&#8221; and &#8220;openly discriminate&#8221; on the basis of things like gender identity.
Meanwhile, hundreds of parents and others with signs reading “Save My Scholarship” rallied at the House <a href="https://www.wbez.org/stories/illinois-controversial-private-school-scholarship-program-is-ending/849c1d35-b525-4dde-adbf-9147aa38a224" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during</a> all six days of the fall legislative session.

The Republican House minority leader, Tony McCombie, promised to fight to reauthorize the school choice program next year.
“I think there is some things that we can do to make it a better program, a more effective program, that could serve more students as well,” McCombie said.
Teachers unions were the main opponent of the Invest in Kids program.
The president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers celebrated in a statement on Thursday, saying there is a &#8220;nationwide push to divert public dollars from our public schools.&#8221;
“Illinois lawmakers chose to put our public schools first and end the state program that subsidized private, mostly religious schools, many of which have discriminatory policies,” union President Dan Montgomery said.
Over the last few years, the school choice issue has taken center stage in several states.
Florida expanded its school choice program and has <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/florida-expanded-school-choice-defies-doomsday-predictions-as-tens-of-thousands-of-students-enroll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over 90,000</a> more students enrolled in private schools and other alternative education programs than last year.
In Arizona, more than <a href="https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/2-arizona-school-choice-leaders-resign-as-controversy-over-the-program-continues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60,000</a> students have used the state&#8217;s Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, a number that skyrocketed over the last year.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> has increased his lead in the Real Clear Politics average of national polls against President Joe Biden in recent weeks as Democrats sound alarm bells about Biden’s chances in 2024. 
Trump leads Biden 46% to 44.6% in the <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general-election-trump-vs-biden-7383.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCP average</a> as of Wednesday afternoon with the four most recent polls factored in by RCP all giving Trump the edge. The former president’s 1.4-point lead is his highest over Biden since late September when he was ahead by an average of 1.6 points. Trump has either led or been tied with Biden in the RCP average of national polls for nearly two straight months as the president struggles with low approval ratings and multiple global and national crises. 
The latest poll from CNN, conducted between October 27 and November 2, puts Trump at 49% to Biden’s 45%. Trump leads Biden 44% to 42% in a Morning Consult poll taken last week, and he’s up 51% to 48%, according to a CBS News poll conducted between October 30 and November 2. A Messenger/Harris X <a href="https://themessenger.com/politics/poll-trump-continues-to-lead-biden-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> conducted last week also has Trump in the driver’s seat 51% to 49%. 
A common theme among the surveys was how much weight respondents placed on the economy as the biggest issue going into 2024. According to the <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24130797/cnn-poll-on-2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN poll</a>, 33% of respondents said the economy was the most important issue to them while 12% of respondents said voting rights/election integrity and immigration were the most important issues. The <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-vs-biden-poll-2024-presidential-election-year-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CBS News poll</a> found that only 30% of respondents said the economy was in good condition while 66% said the economy was doing poorly. The same CBS News poll also found that registered voters were more likely to have a positive outlook on their finances under Trump than under Biden. 
A New York Times/Siena <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/11/07/us/elections/times-siena-battlegrounds-registered-voters.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> released earlier this week got the attention of some Democrats who expressed worry about how well the former Republican president performed in important battleground states against Biden. In the poll, Trump led Biden in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. 
Sen. Richard Blumenthal said he was “mystified” by Trump’s polling lead in the battleground states after numerous federal- and state-level charges were levied against the former president.
“I have no explanation based on my lifetime in paying attention to American civic life and politics. In most times in our history, one indictment would have been enough to disqualify a presidential candidate for the types of crimes alleged,” Blumenthal said, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4298365-senate-democrats-mystified-dismayed-by-trump-lead-over-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a>. “I’m mystified, perplexed, bewildered and, frankly, a bit angry that people can give [Trump] credibility.”  
On Biden, the Democrat senator praised the president’s handling of foreign policy issues, but admitted that many people are concerned about the 80-year-old running for a second term. 
“I hear immense praise for what he has done and how well he is doing on foreign policy and on extremism at home. He’s doing everything right, is what I’m hearing. And yet there’s this lingering concern about electability,” said Blumenthal. 
Blumenthal’s concern was echoed by his fellow Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and John Tester (D-MT) who all said they want to see Biden perform better in the polls, but added that the president still has a year to pick up some momentum. Former Obama adviser and Democratic strategist David Axelrod wasn’t as optimistic about a Biden re-election campaign, however. 
“The stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore,” Axelrod wrote on X. “If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”

Some Michigan Democrats have spoken out against Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) after she expressed support for calls for genocide against the state of Israel.
Tlaib, who is Muslim, has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmaker-calls-for-tlaib-to-lose-clearance-over-security-concerns-her-allegiance-lies-with-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promoted</a> Hamas terrorist propaganda in the weeks following their unprecedented attack against Israel, where they murdered more than 1,400 people, wounded 5,300, and kidnapped more than 240 others.
Tlaib started facing backlash after she promoted a video on her X account that featured an anti-Semitic slogan.
“From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate,” Tlaib <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-rashida-tlaib-blasted-for-defending-call-for-genocide-against-israel">claimed</a>. “My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.”
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, fired back at Tlaib on X: &#8220;. @RashidaTlaib, I have supported and defended you countless times, even when you have said the indefensible, because I believed you to be a good person whose heart was in the right place.&#8221;
&#8220;But this is so hurtful to so many,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Please retract this cruel and hateful remark.&#8221;

Michigan Senate President Pro Tem Jeremy Moss, a Democratic senator for District 7, responded: &#8220;This is not how Jews view the phrase &#8216;from the river to the sea.&#8217; This is not how Hamas views the phrase &#8216;from the river to the sea.'&#8221;
&#8220;Hamas uses it as a rallying cry. And they don’t simply want to displace Jews in Israel. They want Jews dead,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Hamas killed 1400 Jews in just a few hours. They are holding 200+ more in unknown conditions. They would kill all 7 million Jews in Israel if they could. And if you can’t imagine that happening, read a history book.&#8221;

&#8220;This phrase preys upon the psyche of Jews. There are less than 16 million of us living in the world. Fewer Jews are alive today than the eve of the Holocaust.

Whenever November comes along, American political observers turn their minds to the upcoming elections because they can’t just sit in the corner sobbing all the time, it’s unseemly.
As things stand now, Democrats are fearful that their election chances may suffer somewhat from the fact that their policies have led to two major wars, surrendered our borders to Mexican cartels, and turned our salaries to dust that was blown away on the winds of inflation into a vast expanse of insubstantial nothingness that used to be our rent and groceries. As DNC Chairman Mao Tse Jihad told CNN anchorwoman Vladimir Jihad — no relation — “We’re concerned that our disastrous policies may have alienated some of our core voters, like dead people, unassigned social security numbers, and bicycle riders with bags filled with mail-in votes from former residents who moved away years ago and are now voting in other states. Without those constituencies we’re not sure we’ll be able to garner enough self-righteous white women who don’t know anything but feel good when they vote for us for no discernible reason.”
To counter the actual effects of their policies, Democrats are hoping to fashion an electoral majority out of voters who stick their ice cream cones into their foreheads because they’re too stupid to find their mouths. Political consultants are experimenting with slogans that appeal to the Democrat base like, “Vote Democrat. The Country is still standing. Help us finish the job.” Or “Extreme Maga Republicans want to stop you from slaughtering your unborn children, but we won’t let them, because we’re evil, like you.”
Consultants are also hoping Joe Biden’s primary campaign will help lift local candidates. They’ve already filmed one candid campaign commercial in which Biden looks directly into the camera and speaks off the cuff with great sincerity, saying, “I’m Joe Biden. Hebda meena babba-dabba-loo norvis catumin,” then he falls on his face. In another commercial, the president is shown gazing off into the distance with a waving American flag superimposed over his image as he speaks in voiceover saying, “My fellow Americans, where am I? And why is that transparent flag waving on my face? And where am I?” If those commercials don’t test well, the campaign may simply go with a bold slogan like: “Joe Biden. There’s absolutely no proof he’s doing what he’s doing.”
On the Republican side, middle-of-the-road GOP consultants and other nostalgic onanists are desperately trying to make Nikki Haley into a thing so she can use a win in the Iowa caucuses as a launchpad to hosting a late night talk show on OAN. These strategists are hoping that Florida governor Ron DeSantis will leave the race so Nikki can combine his 16% support with her 16% support which would add up to 16% support since her 16% support is completely imaginary. Haley’s campaign slogan would be, “Nikki Haley! Let’s just pretend this whole Trump thing never happened.”
More realistic Republicans are looking at frontrunner Donald Trump and trying to find ways to expand his support beyond those voters who can stand him. One strategy is to have GOP operatives pose as Democrat protestors at Trump rallies, only instead of calling Trump “literally Hitler,” they’ll call him “literally Hamas,” since it means exactly the same thing except Democrats would then vote for him.
Strategists are also preparing for the likelihood that Trump may be convicted in one of the many trials charging him with being simultaneously obnoxious and right about everything. If Trump should win the election and be forced to run his presidency from prison, advisors are hoping he might use his reality TV expertise to stage crowd pleasing events like a riot between the Black Vanguard and the Aryan Brotherhood in which the survivor becomes his chief of staff. This would be an improvement over Trump’s former chiefs of staff, because at least prison gang members don’t rat on you. Such events would be interspersed with commercials in which prisoners who have dirt on the Clintons are put in solitary confinement on 24-hour-suicide watch yet still somehow manage to hang themselves with Giza Dream Sheets made with 100% long staple cotton. Use code “Don’t Mess With Hillary” for a 40% chance of disappearing without a trace.
