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. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
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.”

Inflation and farming: two topics about which Mr. Biden is clueless.
Biden can not do anything to meaningfully impact inflation in the short term. He is absolutely desperate at this point. The Dems and the complicit media will be trying any number of things to distract the voters. But every time you buy groceries or fill up, you’ll know who to thank. Joe did that!
How about telling the Fed to stop buying $120,000,000,000 A MONTH in commercial and mortgage backed securities?
Debtsor … stop being so practical! Politics is an EMOTIONAL game.
I thought the Fed just announced they would be reducing purchases last week, but I could be wrong. The horse is out of the barn and down the road at this point regardless.
They keep talking about tapering ….and there’s been a little bit…. but why are they still buying any bonds and securities at all?
