Well, I guess the consequences of this election are already being felt.
A story about Trump voters in Pennsylvania. The owner of a large company called a meeting for all his employees. He informed them that they won't be getting their Christmas bonuses this year. He explained that the company has to buy a year's worth of product before the Trump's tariffs hit in January.
They said they thought the tariffs were paid by the foreign companies. He then explained to his employees that the tariffs are paid by the American companies who import these foreign goods.
Sometimes, you get exactly what you vote for.

This is so awesome. There are reports that local Springfield residents are packing Haitian restaurants to show support for their contributions to the neighborhood.
This is the America we should strive for:

Here is Trump’s response about how he can make childcare affordable.
Does this make sense to you?
TRUMP: "Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down. You know, I was somebody - we had, Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka, was so impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that, because look, child care is child care, couldn't you know, there's something - you have to have it in this country. You have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to. But they'll get used to it very quickly. And it's not going to stop them from doing business with us. But they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care. We're going to have, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country. Because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care. But those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just-that I just told you about. We're going to be taking in trillions of dollars. And as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it's, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers will be taking in. We're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people. And then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people. But we're going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It's about make America great again. We have to do it because right now, we're a failing nation. So we'll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question. Thank You."

Sinclair Broadcast Group was caught again, with dozens of local anchors, again, reading the same script.

Perhaps the greatest trickTrump ever pulled was convincing millions of people—and the American media—to treat his lapses into fantasies and gibberish as a normal, meaningful form of oratory. But Trump is not a normal person, and his speeches are not normal theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Today, President Biden put forward a clear, realistic and just plan to establish an immediate ceasefire and end the war in Gaza - a plan that ensures Israel’s security, returns hostages taken on October 7th to their families, increases aid into Gaza and relieves the suffering of Palestinian civilians, and engages Israelis, Palestinians, Arab countries and the broader international community in the process of rebuilding Gaza.
A ceasefire alone won’t ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It won’t resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank. But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now - and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long.
As the tragedy in Gaza has unfolded over the past eight months, we’ve witnessed an often fierce public debate here at home - and around the world - regarding how the United States should respond. But no matter where each of us stand in these broader debates, an enduring ceasefire is something we should all support - for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large. I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and our diplomatic team to bring this awful war to an end.

Some news this Friday night: Jack Smith's office is asking a federal judge to place a gag order on Trump that would limit his ability to comment about law enforcement that searched his Mar-a-Lago resort. This after he and his allies exaggerated the "deadly force" authorization, which is standard and was also authorized during the Biden searches.

The rate at which technology is advancing is mind blowing, most of us would have believed that the person speaking was Morgan Freeman!
This type of technology if utilised during an election campaign could cause real damage to our democracy.

Can you imagine how furious you would be if you developed polio and lived, but had lifelong side effects, and when you turn 12-13 find out that all of this could have been avoided if you had been vaccinated but mom and dad saw a youtube video and their facebook group said not to

Inflation rose 14% between July 2020 and July 2022.
Corporate profits rose 75% over those two years.
Inflation is now slowing, but profits are still hovering near record highs, hitting $3.28 trillion for Q3 2023.
Can we stop blaming higher prices on workers' wages now? Hello?

BREAKING: Joe Biden’s economy is setting records. Most consecutive months of unemployment below 4% since the 1950s. Highest S&P 500 rating ever. Lowest inflation of any Western nation.

My wife and I left graduate school 23 years ago with a combined total of $70,000 debt.
Since then we've made $500 monthly payments for 23 years ($120,000+).
Today, we still owe $60,000.
Explain to me again why student loan debt shouldn't be cancelled.

Your report today (12/26/23) was right on target. The greatest challenge to education in this decade is to prepare children to rise above the confirmation bias and embrace critical thinking. Wholechildreform.com

Shouldn’t the parents have some say about the system of education? How can they have an opinion if they aren’t allowed options like those in wholechildreform.com and rowman.com/ISBN/978147587174…

When you hear of kids turned away from private school now that IL #schoolvouchers have sunset remember:
Voucher schools turn away untold #’s of kids daily because they/their parents are #lgbtq, single moms, SWDs, or any reason schools want.
School’s choice not #SchoolChoice
