America’s Warrior Diplomat, Rahm Emanuel, Takes On China’s Xi Personally – Wall Street Journal

China’s Communist Party chief Xi Jinping doesn’t have to worry about opposition leaders at home criticizing his record. But not far away, a U.S. diplomat has seized that role for himself with barbed and sometimes sarcastic criticism. Rahm Emanuel, Washington’s ambassador in Tokyo, is stepping up personal attacks on Xi, depicting the Chinese leader as an incompetent steward of the economy, a foreign-policy failure and a bumbling would-be Machiavellian whose government is a mess.

‘…stepping up personal attacks on Xi’ Why? Pritzker and Biden just signed on to give +$6B in taxpayer monies plus the facility cost (which I call a bribe) to put a battery plant in IL owned by the CCP, which Xi fully controls. Rahm seems way out of step.

I suspect it won’t hurt Xi’s feelings. I’m sure the CCCP intelligence service has told Xi that Rahm is one of the biggest jerks in the Western world so he won’t feel too insulted.

Yes, but why…?

Has his ‘envelope’ from the CCP been a little light…?

Sorry, I can’t help being cynical when it comes to this administration & it’s players…

Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.

Gov. Pritzker’s ‘ethics reform’ eliminates competitive elections and choice for voters – Wirepoints on AM 560 Chicago’s Morning Answer

Ted joined Dan and Amy to talk about a new law passed by the Democratic supermajority and signed by Gov. J.B.

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
