Far-left House members push four-day workweek
Posted By: Imright, 12/9/2021 7:25:30 PM
House liberals are lining up behind a proposal to shorten the U.S. workweek to four days, which could bring American workplace culture more closely in line with Europe’s.The Congressional Progressive Caucus this week endorsed a measure that would shorten the official definition of a full workweek to 32 hours, triggering overtime pay for many workers who put in any additional hours.“After a nearly two-year-long pandemic that forced millions of people to explore remote work options, it’s safe to say that we can’t — and shouldn’t — simply go back to normal, because normal wasn’t working,” Rep. Mark Takano, vice chairman of the CPC, said in a statement about the move.

Again in 2024, Warns of ‘Dire Consequences’ (Video) 30 replies
Hillary Clinton predicted Trump would run again in 2024 and warned of dire consequences for the country if he were to retake the White House.“If I were a betting person right now, I’d say Trump is going to run again,” Hillary said in an excerpt of her interview with TODAY host Willie Geist. “But I want people to understand that this is a make-or-break point.”Hillary Clinton is still bitter she lost to Trump after calling more than half of Americans “deplorables.”
On Friday, CBS Mornings eagerly previewed a fawning interview the network treated President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden to for the upcoming CBS Sunday Morning. Reliable liberal hack correspondent Rita Braver conducted the friendly chat and was shown commiserating with the First Lady over how the President must be “frustrated” by Republican opposition to his radical agenda.“I think a lot of people would find it hard to believe that you don’t get frustrated when you feel that Republicans are really trying to block the President’s agenda,” Braver sympathized.
Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters that Friday's Supreme Court ruling leaving in place a Texas abortion law was 'an attempt to undo 50 years of precedent.' The court ruled Friday that a lawsuit by abortion providers in Texas can move forward but left the ban on abortions after about six weeks in place as challenges are being litigated. The high court punted the law's legality. Its action today sends the case by abortion providers back to a district court, which could lead to it being suspended.
Inflation rose an astounding 6.8% from last November to now, the largest annual increase since 1982 when Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker had to raise interest rates well into the double digits to combat the stagflation of the Carter era. CNBC's Carl Quintanilla decided to use the dismal news to argue that, actually, our inflation rate is not "unique, special or anyone's fault." (Tweet) This is a wildly telling chart — but not in the way Quintanilla thinks. (Video) Despite the Fed keeping U.S. interest rates near zero during the longest bull market in history, central bankers across the pond have proven even more dovish.
On Friday, Jen Psaki finally admitted what we’ve all known for 2 years – Jussie Smollett is a lying race hoaxer.After the jury found him guilty on 5 of 6 accounts yesterday, Psaki was forced to admit that Smollett lied. She even reluctantly called him “shameful”.“Then, a real quick one on the Jussie Smollett verdict,” a reporter began. “Both the President and the Vice President tweeted at the time of that attack, the President tweeted: ‘What happened to Jussie Smollett must never be tolerated in this country. We’re with you, Jussie.’ The Vice President called it an attempted modern-day lynching. Since the guilty verdict, are there any lessons learned here
Some schools in California are using social justice tactics to try to repair the damage done to school-age children over the past almost two years of coronavirus lockdowns and remote learning.That includes the Los Angeles Unified, Oakland Unified, Sacramento City Unified, San Diego Unified and other districts are phasing out grades below a C for high school students.The plan is meant to “re-engage” students but also help them get accepted into public colleges.“Our hope is that students begin to see school as a place of learning, where they can take risks and learn from mistakes, instead of a place of compliance,”
President Joe Biden ignited a wave of reactions for what many thought was a particularly awkward few moments in the U.S. Capitol.The president’s entry to the Capitol, as he and other lawmakers gathered to honor the late Sen. Bob Dole who was lying in state, raised eyebrows because of what some saw as an odd exchange between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris.It was actually the lack of an exchange that caught the attention of viewers, as video from the tribute ceremony showed the president and first lady Jill Biden arrive shortly behind Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff.
The US inflation rate has hit its highest level in nearly 40 years, adding woes for consumers and compounding the issue as a political liability for President Joe Biden. The consumer price index rose 0.8 percent last month after surging 0.9 percent in October, the Labor Department said on Friday. It pushed annual inflation to 6.8 percent in November, the highest increase since June 1982 and well above October's 6.2 percent annual rate. A labor shortage is boosting wages, sending costs higher for businesses, and chaos in the supply chain is showing little sign of easing, indicating that high inflation could persist well into 2022.
All the signs are indicating that the Republicans are likely to have a huge wave win in the 2022 midterms.Joe Biden’s numbers are in the basement and polls show that Americans believe Republicans are the better choice than the Democrats. That doesn’t leave the Democrats with a lot of options at this point. Of course, what they could try to do is listen to what people are saying that they don’t like about their policies and change their policies to things that make more sense. But that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. So what they have been trying to do instead is paint lipstick on a pig
The cream of liberal society, including President Joe Biden himself, have been mocked over old tweets backing Jussie Smollett in the wake of his conviction.
President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and a host of other liberal celebrities face questions over their tweets, backing Smollett on the same day as the alleged January 2019 attack, which he was convicted of faking on Thursday. Hours after the staged beating Biden, then a presidential hopeful, tweeted: 'What happened today to @jussiesmollett must never be tolerated in this country. 'We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor;
FOX News Media held a tree-lighting ceremony for its newly rebuilt All-American Christmas Tree roughly 24 hours after it was destroyed by an alleged arsonist. Crowds and Christmas carolers gathered outside Fox Square Thursday evening to witness the lighting of the All-American Christmas Tree. "The Five" co-hosts Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, Jesse Watters, Judge Jeanine Pirro and Jessica Tarlov kicked off the event and were accompanied by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, Fox News contributor Reverend Jacques DeGraff and members of the FDNY and the NYPD, both who quickly responded to the arson attack.

Hilaria Baldwin recently claimed on social media that her husband, Alec Baldwin, has been suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for years.
The mother-of-six spoke candidly on her Instagram Stories about social media trolls, tabloids, paparazzi, and how she's trying to speak her truth.
"We oftentimes have people creating news stories about us. My husband is suffering from PTSD right now. It's not from what just happened recently, but he's been suffering from this for a very very very long time," she said on her Stories.
DAVIS, Calif. — Banana peels, chicken bones and leftover veggies won't have a place in California trashcans under the nation's largest mandatory residential food waste recycling program that's set to take effect in January. The effort is designed to keep landfills in the most populous U.S. state clear of food waste that damages the atmosphere as it decays. When food scraps and other organic materials break down they emit methane, a greenhouse gas more potent and damaging in the short-term than carbon emissions from fossil fuels. To avoid those emissions, California plans to start converting residents' food waste into compost or

President Biden has signed a series of executive orders to make the federal government carbon neutral. The Democrat president on Wednesday ordered federal agencies to purchase electric vehicles, harness wind, solar, and nuclear energy to power facilities, and to use sustainable building materials. The goal is for the federal government to stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by 2050. In the next decade, Biden wants the government to cease purchasing electricity produced from sources that emit carbon dioxide. By 2035, the administration wants all new federal cars and truck purchases to be zero-emissions. Right now, only about 1.5% of the government fleet is electric vehicles.
Newly resurfaced video appears to show a US attorney appointed by President Joe Biden angrily confronting journalists in an expletive-ridden tirade in January 2021. Biden tapped Suffolk Country District Attorney Rachael Rollins to lead the US Attorney's Office in Massachusetts in July. On Wednesday she made history as the first black woman to be confirmed in the role by the Senate, when Vice President Kamala Harris broke a 50-50 tie along party lines. But in footage recorded by Boston 25 News earlier in the year, Rollins angrily threatens a news team with legal action and accuses them of endangering her children for asking for an interview near her home.
Jill Biden defended Joe Biden's mental health, calling questions about her husband's capabilities 'ridiculous' and saying he works 'almost 24 hours' a day.
Biden sat down with CBS' Rita Braver at Camp David to talk about life in the White House - a rare TV interview from the private presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains. In the conversation, she admitted being first lady was a 'little harder' than she expected, expressed optimism at what her husband can do in a highly-charged political environment of Washington, and dismissed recent polls showing Americans have questions about the president's mental fitness.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Forget speeding tickets — California truck drivers will soon have to watch out for pollution tickets. State regulators on Thursday voted to crack down on heavy duty trucks weighing more than 14,000 pounds (6,350 kilograms) — those big semi-trailers that make up just 3% of all vehicles in California but spend so much time on the road they account for more than half of all pollution from cars and trucks each year. New rules will require these big trucks, including ones from other states passing through Califonria — to be tested at least four times per year to make sure they
WASHINGTON — Jill Biden says being first lady “is a little harder than I imagined.” She tells “CBS Sunday Morning” in an interview set to air next week that her new role is a 24-hour undertaking and not the kind of job that ends at a certain hour. “I think it’s a little harder than I imagined,” the first lady said after being asked if she was prepared for what her new life would be like. “It’s not like a job that you do, it’s a lifestyle that you live, and it’s not something you leave at 5:00 or at
Should people be punted from parties if their pigment is paltry?
Such a question’s currently being publicly posed at a private liberal arts school in Pennsylvania.
A December 2nd op-ed at Swarthmore College boasts a titillating title: “Should We Be Kicking White People Out of Parties?”
Writer Sameer Halepoto notes that Caucasians are crowding soirees.
And when whites are out and about, others are put out:
Hosted by the Swarthmore Queer Union (SQU), Swarthmore African Student Association (SASA), Swarthmore ENLACE, and the Swarthmore African-American Student Society (SASS), the party at Paces the Saturday before Thanksgiving welcomed diversity more than most.

Yes, Joe Biden is far and away the worst president in the history of the United States. However, the four-year Trump interlude between Obama and Biden gave the U.S. at least a little resiliency to stand against Biden’s hard-left administration. Imagine how much worse things would have been if Hillary had immediately stepped into Obama’s shoes. America wouldn’t have stood a chance. And lest you forget just what a horrible human being Hillary was, she just gave us a reminder as she spoke with Today’s Willie Geist about her decision to read her “victory speech” aloud for a MasterClass.
