Elijah Cummings, dead at 68!
CATCH HAKE READING CUMMINGS BIO ON HAKE NEWS
Elijah Cummings died! James talks about how far-left activist outlet AP kisses up to Elijah Cummings as a “formidable orator” who was “using his fiery voice” for so-called poor people.
SWAMP: Michael McKinley turned on Trump
I have pics of Michael McKinley and his wife… he is a career diplomat, a white male who married a Hispanic woman. Of course he was born in South America somewhere. He’s talking to Democrats behind closed doors about his horror about Trump’s activity.
Caller Log as James recalls...
Great calls, thank you, guys. Jesse’s producer Nick didn’t get notes today. But James remembers talking with...
Rick from Hampton, VA, thought Elijah Cummings was depressed because his district was so poor (at least parts were, right?).
Maze from Dayton, OH, argues with James about whites and James specifically treating themselves how they treat blacks. She claims she respects Trump even though he does “stupid things” (in her mind… brain power!). She accuses James of disrespecting Obama and Cummings. James accuses her of doing to whites what she accuses whites of doing!
Blaze'n Hawgs from Dayton, OH, says something smart and funny toward Maze, although James didn’t see his live chat comments begging to talk to her on-air. He’s cool.
James talked with other decent people — one or two people had nice brief comments.
Piers from Sacramento, CA, really makes James uncomfortable, but says some interesting, sort of intellectual things, about following God. He mentions how it’s said James copies Jesse. At the very beginning, he encouraged James to look up what Yahweh or YHWH means (which he can’t find so far). He encourages something weird about James, but kind of says to loosen up about the morality he learned from parents vs. God’s true morality. Piers is straight, contrary to live chat libel. James almost hung up on him a few times, but Dielawn, James’s de facto producer, told him not to!
There was another last caller, I believe, who spoke for just a few last moments.
Rand Paul seems to side with Trump on Syria
(Drudge) Rand Paul roasts Lindsey Graham: “Been wrong about every foreign policy decision! — of the last two decades!” The Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (the son of Ron Paul), said, "He was wrong about the Iraq War. The Iraq War was a mistake. It made Iran stronger, allowed more chaos, more instability, and more terrorism. He was wrong about the war in Libya. It lead to more chaos and more terrorism. He is wrong about this." Paul was referring to tweets from the South Carolina senator that condemned the White House's decision to remove U.S. troops from northern Syria.
"Our southern border should be our LAST line of defense against radical Islam. Our FIRST line of defense is the U.S. military working with partners in radical Islam’s backyard keeping them over there so they can’t hurt us here at home or hurt our allies like Israel," Graham said on Monday. "This is the exact thinking of the previous Administration — leave them alone and let others do our work. It led to the rise of ISIS! Didn’t work then. Won’t work now."
Strike Gonna End Soon
(Drudge) Workers celebrate deal with GM, show union power in industry… (AP) They had carried signs for 31 days and demonstrated the muscle the United Auto Workers union still has over Detroit’s three manufacturers (GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler).
Details of the four-year pact weren’t released, but GM’s latest offer to end the monthlong strike included wage increases and lump-sum payments, top-notch health insurance at little cost to workers, promises of new products for many U.S. factories and a path to full-time work for temporary workers. That’s a big difference from what GM wanted going into the talks: to slash total labor costs at its factories, which are about $13 per hour higher than at foreign automakers in the U.S.
Terry Dittes, the UAW’s chief bargainer with GM, said the deal offers “major gains” for 49,000 union workers who have been walking picket lines since Sept. 16. They’ll stay off work for at least a couple more days while union committees decide if they will bless the deal. Then workers will have to vote on it.
Another Strike Coming
MEANWHILE (Drudge) CHICAGO TEACHERS STRIKE… the nation’s third largest district (AP News).
(AP) — Chicago parents and community groups are scrambling to prepare for a massive teachers’ strike set to begin Thursday, prompting the city to preemptively cancel classes in the nation’s third-largest school district.
The Chicago Teachers Union confirmed Wednesday night that its 25,000 members would not return to their classrooms Thursday after months of negotiation between the union and Chicago Public Schools failed to resolve disputes over pay and benefits, class size and teacher preparation time.
Not the first time!
The strike is Chicago’s first major walkout by teachers since 2012 and city officials announced early Wednesday that all classes had been canceled for Thursday in hopes of giving more planning time to the parents of more than 300,000 students.
Chicago Teachers Union President Jesse Sharkey talked about it.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot (LESBIAN!) said she was disappointed by the union’s decision to strike.
During the 2012 strike, the district kept some schools open for half days during a seven-day walkout. District officials said this time they will keep all buildings open during school hours, staffed by principals and employees who usually work in administrative roles.
What they’re doing...
Breakfast and lunch will be served, but all after-school activities and school buses are suspended in the district serving more than 300,000 students.
Janice Jackson, the district’s CEO, encouraged parents to send their children to the school that they normally attend, however they will be welcome in any district schools.
“We’ve put together a really comprehensive plan for the students,” Jackson said. “We will make sure they are safe and they have a productive day.”
Also striking will be 7,000 support staffers, whose union also failed to reach a contract agreement.
Suicide on the rise!
(Drudge) Youth Suicide Rate Rises 56% in Decade… according to the CDC (WSJ, By Brianna Abbott). The report finds homicide death rate rose slightly after years of declines (thanks Obama!).
Suicide and homicide rates have increased in recent years among young people in the U.S., according to a new federal report.
The suicide rate among people ages 10 to 24 years old climbed 56% between 2007 and 2017, according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The rate of homicide deaths decreased by 23% from 2007 to 2014 but then increased by 18% through 2017.
KNOW WHAT ELSE HAS INCREASED? SO-CALLED ACCEPTANCE OF SO-CALLED HOMOSEXUALITY, LGBTQIA ISSUES, WEAKNESS, ETC.
Old actor’s son stabs mother to death, gets killed by cops (I think)
(People) Former Miss Florida Valerie Ely Stabbed to Death by Son Just Feet Away from Tarzan Star Husband Ron
Local deputies later fatally shot the suspect, Valerie and Ron's 30-year-old son Cameron Ely, outside of the couple's Santa Barbara home
(Heavy) Valerie Lundeen was “Tarzan” star (the 1966-1968 TV show actor) Ron Ely’s wife and a former beauty pageant queen. The 62-year-old woman was stabbed to death at their Santa Barbara, California, home on October 15, 2019. Her 81-year-old husband was inside the home, but was not injured, police say. Police say the suspect in the crime was their 30-year-old son, Cameron Ely.
Ely and Lundeen married in 1984 and had three children together: two daughters, Kirsten and Kaitland, and a son, Cameron. In 2013, Kirsten wrote a blog post about her love for her parents, saying, “Your mom really can be your best friend. And your dad really can give amazing advice. Just because you’re an ‘adult,’ it doesn’t mean that mom and dad should be kicked to the curb. It can be quite a gift to be able to stay their ‘little girl’… it can also be horribly annoying… but try to ignore the annoying part.”
Lundeen was crowned Miss Florida USA in 1981 while representing Miami and went on to compete at the Miss USA beauty pageant later that year.
Illegals at 22M supposedly this is news to some!
(Drudge) UPDATE: 22 MILLION ILLEGALS IN USA, NOT 11 MILLION! DIDN’T WE GO OVER THIS ALREADY OVER A YEAR OR FEW AGO?? (WASH. EXAMINER by Paul Bedard) Surge: Ken Cuccinelli cites 22 million illegal immigrants, nearly twice previous tally
President Trump’s top immigration spokesman on Wednesday said that there are potentially 22 million illegal immigrants inside the United States, nearly twice the estimate regularly cited.
Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which handles the legal immigration process, said the number comes from a study done by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That study put the number at 22.1 million.
The number typically cited is 11 million to 13 million illegal immigrants in the country. The latest estimate, from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, is 14 million. An accurate count is difficult to calculate.
But Cuccinelli, who is on the shortlist to lead the Department of Homeland Security, said that for policy purposes it is better to work around the larger potential number than be blind to how big the crisis could actually be.
“I was just quoting the MIT study,” he told Secrets after speaking at a Christian Science Monitornewsmaker breakfast.
“That’s the one I know. I just use it as a reference point. Because from an operational standpoint, it doesn’t matter too much. We deal with what’s in front of us. So that’s the perspective that I bring to it. It’s useful to know. It’s an important thing at a 100,000-foot level,” he said.
He raised the 22 million number while discussing the potential fate of some 800,000 student-age illegal immigrants Democrats in Congress want to grant amnesty to. They are referred to as DACA, for the Obama-era program and put off deportation under “deferred action for childhood arrivals.”
Should Congress and the White House fail to cut a deal on them, Cuccinelli said that they would join the pool of illegal immigrants in the country that could be deported.
“They are here illegally,” he said.
He said a deal could be made to let some or all stay, but if not, “They are in the same pool, if MIT is correct, with the 22 million people who are here illegally.”
