Chicago Alderman: 'I'm a Democrat,' But Biden 'Let the Border Remain Open' and Migrant Surge Is Causing Crime: 

On Thursday’s “CNN News Central,” Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins said that the city simply can’t handle any more migrants, and as a result of the migrant influx in the city, “We’re seeing crime go up, property values go down” and “We’re seeing communities destabilized.” Hopkins further stated, “I’m a Democrat, but I’ll say the Biden administration has absolutely dropped the ball,” and “every day that goes by while we let the border remain open and while we let cities try to address this humanitarian crisis, it gets worse by the day.”

Muslim Leaders in Swing States Go National With Effort vs. Biden in 2024 Election Over Support for Israel By Ward Clark

"On Saturday, a coalition of Muslim leaders in swing states announced they are stepping up their efforts to make sure Joe Biden (assuming he's the Democrat candidate, which is anything but certain) loses the 2024 presidential election. 

• Why? Because he supports Israel...
  The #AbandonBiden campaign officially began earlier in December, led by Muslim leaders in swing states like Michigan, Minnesota and Arizona, who disapproved of Biden’s support for Israel’s counterattacks against Hamas...

Denver Mayor: Migrants Will Force our Sanctuary City to Make Bigger Cuts than We Did During Recession: 

During an interview with ABC News on Thursday, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said that if the sanctuary city doesn’t get help from the federal government to deal with the financial impacts of the migrant influx in the city, the budget impact of dealing with migrants will be so large that they’ll have to cut the rest of their budget by about 10%, which would be a deeper cut than the cuts they made during the recession in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

"...History Departments are no longer interested in teaching history per se but the history of ethnic groups...
The change in focus is quite striking. 

In only a decade, job postings focused on historical periods and American history have plummeted in number, but postings focused on ethnicity studies have exploded.

Jobs focused on research and teaching of American history were nearly 30% of all jobs in 2011 and 2012, Jobs focused on ethnic groups made up about 16% of the jobs.

Moving forward a decade, American history professors made up 6.4% of the hires, and ethnic studies made up more than half of the jobs...

• Now imagine what is taught in those classes, and the chances that any of those classes aren’t about spewing Marxist propaganda are near zero...

New EV Deemed Total Loss After Battery Replacement Costs More Than Car Itself

New EV Deemed Total Loss After Battery Replacement Costs More Than Car Itself:

Meanwhile, lunatic greenies and government autocrats are still attempting to force people to buy into EVs. Even with that, though, Ford just cut its manufacturing goals for its Ford F150 Lightning electric trucks in half for 2024. So, maybe the car makers are finally starting to realize that EVs are not a growth industry.

The fact is, EV owners who think they are “saving money” because they aren’t buying gas or paying gasoline taxes are fooling themselves. The hidden costs of EVs far outweigh the supposed savings.

• ...James Hansen has a track record when it comes to talking up authoritarianism – who can forget Hansen’s absurd praise of the Chinese system in 2015, for the alleged advantage of Chinese Communism over Western democracies and republics, when it comes to addressing climate challenges?
• “I think we will get there because China is rational,” Hansen says. “Their leaders are mostly trained in engineering and such things, they don’t deny climate change and they have a huge incentive, which is air pollution. It’s so bad in their cities they need to move to clean energies. They realise it’s not a hoax. But they will need co-operation...

This is likely just random chance – Australia is famed for its extreme weather, and weather forecasting in Australia is just as big a joke as most other places.

• But what if the unusual El Nino rainfall in Australia is because of global warming? What if the “new normal” is fewer prolonged droughts, more chaotic weather with shorter dry spells, and more rain, including in the parched interior of Australia?

In that case we would all be better off cancelling useless solar panels and wind turbines, and 

• investing in flood and water management project, to mitigate the harm when a small ocean drops on our heads. 
• And people could mitigate their own personal risks, by avoiding purchasing in dubious housing estates which look suspiciously like filled in river valleys, 
• ditching the EVs and useless town automobiles, and 
• instead buying long range diesel 4WD vehicles to better handle Australia’s increasingly neglected and flood prone roads, and increasingly unreliable, power cut prone fuel supplies...

Still Failing to Learn the Lessons of Antipoverty Programs | AIER - Gary M. Galles 

• One of the lesser-known realities of the War on Poverty was that while poverty rates were falling substantially before it began, that progress came to an abrupt halt, fantastically, with its implementation. 
• Without understanding this, people can remain blind to the lesson about how “fighting” poverty can undermine progress against it. 
• And that may be particularly important to grasp now as, decades later, similar effects seem to be spreading to a far-larger population.

Before we turn to its current implications, we would benefit from reviewing explanations for how the War on Poverty failed. 

To my mind, the most insightful explanation comes from James Gwartney and Thomas McCaleb, in Have Antipoverty Programs Increased Poverty?

'Structural rot': State yanks investments from super-woke Disney: 

In an interview with Fox Business Digital interview, Loftis blasted the company's alignment with the Environmental, Social, and Governance social agenda.

He said, "People sometimes forget that ESG has nothing to do with investing. ESG is a speech and behavior code that was … created by the left and delivered to everybody else under these virtuous circumstances, or presumed circumstances."

He charged that running Disney now is "the gender studies crowd … That's why their movies are flops and their market cap, I think, is about half what it used to be. It's a tremendous loss to America, we all grew up on Disney."

The mayors of three of the biggest cities in the country – including Chicago – met Wednesday to discuss the migrant crisis each is facing.

As CBS 2’s Marybel González reported, Mayor Brandon Johnson on Wednesday said Chicago is almost at capacity with migrants, even as more asylum seekers were making their way to the suburbs and other towns and villages in the area.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston both said they will take a page from Chicago’s book, as the leaders of those cities likewise said they are at a tipping point....

WHITE HOUSE – “...I hereby delegate to the Secretary of State the authority under section 614(a)(1) of the FAA to determine whether it is important to the security interests of the United States to furnish up to $20 million in assistance to Ukraine without regard to any provision of law within the purview of section 614(a)(1) of the FAA.” (link)

Who/what is that $20 million for?

Curiousor and curiousor….

POLITICO – “With U.S. and European aid to Ukraine now in serious jeopardy, the Biden administration and European officials are quietly shifting their focus from supporting Ukraine’s goal of total victory over Russia to improving its position in an eventual negotiation to end the war, according to a Biden administration official and a European diplomat based in Washington. Such a negotiation would likely mean giving up parts of Ukraine to Russia...

So, the official narrative has shifted from ‘winning‘ to ‘stalemate‘ to the more recent, ‘lose less’ and prepare for “giving up parts of Ukraine to Russia.”...
