A federal judge has approved a settlement agreement between the city of Minneapolis and a dozen protesters who were hurt during the demonstrations that followed George Floyd’s murder.
The agreement was formally proposed three weeks ago and was accepted by U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez on Wednesday.
Under the terms of the agreement, the injured protesters will split a $600,000 payment from the city, which also will have to implement several reforms.

The last conversation Sandra Torres had with her 10-year-old daughter was about her nervous excitement over whether she’d make the all-star softball team. Hours later, Eliahna Torres was one of 19 children and two teachers massacred at their elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
With little closure and few answers about law enforcement’s 77-minute wait on May 24 in the school hallway rather than confronting the gunman, Sandra Torres filed a federal lawsuit on Monday against police, the school district and the maker of the gun the shooter used.
In a letter to top health officials, Senator Amy Klobuchar, and three of her fellow senators, urged the amoxicillin shortage to be addressed.
“We write to express our strong concern regarding the shortage of amoxicillin,” the letter begins.

Representative-Elect Finke won 81% of the vote in the Minnesota House District 66A race.
“To have that many people come out, and that many people support a first-time trans candidate, it’s really humbling,” said Finke. “It’s really an honor, it’s really exciting.”

With infinite reluctance and lingering disbelief, what calls itself the progressive media is starting to concede the outlines of the overwhelming rejection the Democrats, the Biden administration, and Congress have earned and are likely to sustain next week.
Progressive for these purposes is a bedraggled coalition of elements that are no longer comfortable with each other: the militantly anti-white African Americans, the “woke” pseudo-academic America-haters, and what’s left of the tired old Joe Biden-style Democratic machine establishment.

All indications now are that the Democrats are finally about to pay for using Trump hate as a substitute for governing for two years, just as for four years prior to that they used Trump hate as a substitute for normal opposition.
The entire fabric of myths, frauds, and defamations that the national political media have conveniently held up as a safety net for the Democratic Party and this terribly incompetent administration is about to disappear, and the Democrats will finally carry the can for 14 years of incompetence and venality—
Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith announced bipartisan legislation Tuesday to rename a Federal Building in downtown Minneapolis in honor of the late Sen. Paul Wellstone. The senators say they are pushing for the name to be changed to the Paul D. Wellstone Federal Building.

Don’t be fooled. In the promotional interviews for her new book, The Light We Carry, Michelle Obama insists that the book is simply her personal “toolkit” about how she deals with the challenges of “uncertain times.” No, The Light We Carry is not a self-help book. It is Michelle’s crafty attempt to position herself to be the Democrat nominee for president in 2024. In fact, it is Michelle’s second autobiography, a follow up to her wildly successful 2018 memoir, Becoming. As it would have been awkward for Michelle to write a second self-promotional autobiography entitled “Becoming Part II,” the new book is released under the ruse of a self-help guide.

left-wing causes 34 replies
The Biden administration has quietly finalized a rule allowing employers to funnel workers’ 401(k) funds into investments that support woke causes that address issues such as climate change and diversity.
The Labor Department approved the rule last week, just two days before the Thanksgiving break. It will affect roughly 150 million workers and $10 trillion in assets covered under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The rule says asset managers and retirement plan administrators should consider environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors when selecting investments.
President Biden all but declared himself as the greatest president in America’s history on Wednesday.
"I tell you what," the president said. "No one’s ever done as much as president as this administration’s doing. Period." Biden spoke during the White House Tribal Nations Summit, which was to feature new announcements and efforts to put new policies in place that support Tribal communities. The summit, which takes place at the Department of the Interior, gives tribal leaders the opportunity to engage with top U.S. officials on ways to strengthen nation-to-nation relationships and ensure indigenous communities endure for years to come.
As Biden spoke during the opening day
President Joe Biden was slammed by critics for suggesting that the public didn’t know “what the hell a supply chain was.”
During a rally in Michigan, Biden claimed that Americans didn’t understand what a supply chain was “10 years ago,” and it wasn’t until the Covid-19 pandemic that brought it to people’s attention that it began to affect the economy.
“10 years ago, how many of you knew what the hell a supply chain was? No, I’m serious!” Biden shouted at the crowd.
Trying to save face after insinuating that Americans are too dumb to understand how a supply chain works, the president then asked reporters
An actual giant who obviously likes his cheese and wine, lost it when a group of climate change nuts blocked a busy road, causing massive traffic.
The purpose of these disturbances is to force the government to implement an energy renovation plan commensurate with the climate emergency. “This summer there were 11,000 deaths due to heat waves, what will it be like this winter? warns a young activist.
So faced with this reality, they chose to block the road.
House Democrats might release former President Donald Trump’s tax returns, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Dec. 1.
The decision would be up to Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) and members of the panel, Pelosi said.
“That’s a judgment they’re going to have to make,” she told reporters during a briefing in Washington.
The judgment would be in keeping with the purpose of acquiring the returns, which Neal has said is examining the way the IRS audits presidents and considering legislative reform to the program, Pelosi added.

Congressional Republican leaders are working in lockstep with their Democrat counterparts to pass a massive taxpayer-funded spending bill before the end of the year.

Georgia Lt. Gov Geoff Duncan (R) said Wednesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that after waiting in line for an hour, he declined to vote in the runoff election between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker.
He said neither Senate candidate “made sense.”
Duncan said, “Well, there’s a serious imbalance of energy right now. The Warnock campaign seems to be gaining seem and momentum. And every time you turn on the TV, there’s an ad running. It’s not necessarily the Walker side. I think you mentioned there was a brief five-day period where he was absent from the campaign trail.
Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, unable to run for another term due to term limits, is holding two fundraisers on Wednesday to look for support and fund future political activity amid speculation of a possible 2024 presidential bid.
Hogan, looking to position himself as an “alternative” to former President Donald Trump, has two fundraisers scheduled for Wednesday at a hotel and casino outside Maryland’s state capital.
One of the events is supposed to launch his political action committee, Better Path Forward, while the other is to be held for his political organization, An America United, according to the organization’s executive director David Weinman.

Republicans helping her pass another spending bill? 17 replies
On November 8, the American people fired House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, so why are some Senate Republicans giving her another spending bill to cram with wasteful spending and woke policies? Last night, Alabama Senator Richard Shelby - the top Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee, which oversees spending – told reporters that Congress could be working on the upcoming government funding bill until Christmas.
Current funding runs out on December 16, and Shelby, Vermont Democrat Senator Patrick Leahy, and House and Senate leadership have all been working together to pass a big "omnibus" spending bill, meaning it’s several spending bills combined into one big package.
