XTC - Paper and Iron

Money, or lack of it, has been in the news a lot this week.

So of course here's a tune about filthy lucre, XTC's "Paper And Iron (Notes And Coins)."

Trump says quality of Democratic candidates having impact on markets

I believe our president means lack of quality of the Democratic presidents.

Biden: "I’m looking forward to appointing the first African American woman to the US Senate"

Mainstream media is ignoring Buttigieg's plagiarism: Trish Regan

Mayor Pete should be called Mayor Thief.

Buttigieg is plagiarizing.

Tucker: Are we sure America won't elect a socialist?

Unlikely, yes, but if Bernie Sanders is the Democratic nominee he could win.

(PragerU) Californians fleeing the state for Texas

Interesting. In this short clip about the upcoming PragerU documentary "Fleeing California" the commentator remarks about Californians who say they "didn't vote for these policies and they didn't vote for these people."

Except they did.

It's just that most Democratic politicians aren't like Bernie Sanders. For all his faults, and they are indeed many, Sanders is somewhat honest. He wants to dramatically raise your taxes and add burdensome job-killing regulations.

Most Democrats offer banal platitudes when campaigning and when in power, they do what Bernie says he'll do. The result is California. And Illinois. And New York State.

Biden says Georgetown, DE was founded in the 1600s when it was actually founded in 1791

You would think that Sleepy Joe Biden would know something about his home state of Delaware. Well while in South Carolina recently he said that the town of Georgetown there was founded in the 1600.

But the village was actually founded in 1791

Chicago Public Schools drops Columbus Day for Indigenous People's Day

Columbus Park, Chicago

Chicago Public Schools, that jobs program for people with education degrees and the politically connected, just dropped Columbus Day for Indigenous People's Day.

Chicago is hemorrhaging population--one of the main drivers of that exodus are the atrocious CPS schools.

But at least some leftists feel better now.

From NBC Chicago:

Thanks to a decision reached at the Chicago Board of Education meeting Wednesday, students and faculty will now observe the second Monday in October as Indigenous People’s Day rather than as Columbus Day.

Until now, Chicago Public Schools had celebrated both holidays, but Wednesday;s decision means that only Indigenous People’s Day will be celebrated.

"I think it’s great, changing the name of the holiday. That's what (the celebration) is really all about," Chicago charter school teacher Erin Walker said.

The change marks a significant change in a city that celebrates Christopher Columbus in a variety of ways. From the annual October parade that celebrates Italian heritage to a six-lane street that runs through the heart of downtown Chicago, the city celebrates the explorer in a variety of ways.

Elizabeth Warren is not so sure.
