As I Said, This Election Is About Class, Not Race Or Party

These weather oscillations persisted even at a time when the continents were distributed differently, the modelling shows.

Immigrant students are given a much easier grading scale at a school in Springfield, Ohio, effectively preventing them from failing because they are still considered English "language learners," an email from the superintendent confirms.A high school principal in the Northwestern Local Schools district previously sent an email to staff members at Northwestern Jr./Sr. High School, instructing them not to give so-called "English language learners" — often referred to as ELL students — a grade lower than a "C," Superintendent Jeff Patrick confirmed in an email obtained by Blaze News.'It seems like a better solution might be possible.'"The email [from the principal] did indeed state not to give our ELL students any grade under a 'C' based on the fact that for the first three years in an Ohio School system, ELL students are considered to be Language Learners," Patrick wrote in the email dated October 9.Blaze News reached out to Patrick and asked a series of questions, including whether ELL students received passing grades even if they failed to turn in assignments and/or attend class as required. Patrick did not respond.However, Patrick did indicate in the email viewed by Blaze News that the grading policy at the school may soon be changed. "It seems like a better solution might be possible, so I have given our Director of Instruction and his team of Administrators the task of coming up with a better solution to this grading issue," he wrote.The grading scale in the online version of the school handbook is not currently accessible, but prospective graduates of Northwestern Jr./Sr. High School must earn at least 21.5 credits and "demonstrate competency in math and English by passing the state’s algebra I and English II tests" or through other approved means.As Patrick did not respond to any of Blaze News' questions, it is unclear whether students who are U.S. citizens and native speakers of English received failing grades while their ELL counterparts could not. U.S. News and World Report claims that Northwestern Jr./Sr. High School has a graduation rate of greater than 95%, which suggests that at least a few students have failed to graduate. The outlet cited government data for its report but did not clarify when that data was collected.The student handbook also warns that chronically truant students and their parents or guardians may face prosecution at a local municipal court. Truancy may even affect a student's ability to acquire a state driver's license, even though some of the city's 20,000 Haitian immigrants have been caught driving without a license.Springfield, Ohio, has been in the national spotlight for more than a year after an unlicensed Haitian immigrant there crashed into a school bus, killing 11-year-old Aiden Clark.At the presidential debate last month, former President Donald Trump also suggested that some of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating pets. Democrats balked at the suggestion, but statements from Springfield residents indicate that maltreatment of wildlife is a problem in the area."I [saw] a group of Haitian people — there was about four of them — and all had geese in their hand," one resident stated during a 911 call on August 26.Anthony Harris, a 28-year-old Springfield resident, said at an August city council meeting: "They're in the park grabbing up ducks by their neck and cutting their head off and walking off with them and eating them.""I don't know how y'all can be comfortable with this."Like Blaze News?

With just 15 days before Election Day, the media and Democrats are trying to paint Donald Trump as a candidate mentally unfit for the White House. Despite covering up President Joe Biden's obvious mental decline for years, Democrats and the media are now trying to make a story out of Trump's mental fitness, claiming he, too, is experiencing a level of cognitive decline that disqualifies him from the presidency. 'The 2024 Trump seems more confident and is certainly more knowledgeable about policy than he was in 2015.'The evidence of mental decline, Trump's critics claim, revolves around his speeches. At his campaign rallies, Trump often speaks off the cuff for long periods of time, which his critics see as incoherent rambling and proof of mental decline. Here are some recent headlines: MSNBC: "‘Unintelligible’: Trump’s mental decline on display in final stretch to election" The New Republic: "Trump’s Mental Decline Finally Becomes Big Media Story" NBC News: "Trump's bizarre music session reignites questions about his mental acuity" The Week: "Is Trump okay?" Los Angeles Times: "In final stretch, Harris revives attacks on Trump as ‘unstable’ and mentally unfit for office" New York Times: "Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age" Cornell University: "Trump’s abrupt decision to play DJ, a sign of ‘accelerating cognitive decline’ says Cornell expert" Forbes: "Trump’s Unwieldy Speeches Raise Questions About His Mental Acuity" Boston Globe: "Trump’s decline is too dangerous to ignore" But the editorial board at the Wall Street Journal says, in their firsthand experience, that is not true.In fact, not only does the Journal's editorial board not believe that Trump is experiencing the cognitive decline that Democrats and the media claim is happening, but they observed that Trump is sharper today than he was nearly a decade ago.The editors of the Journal reported their observation with confidence last Friday, one day after Trump met with them.From the WSJ editorial board:Lately Mr. Trump’s detractors have been speculating about his 'mental decline.' There’s no sign of such slippage in our Thursday meeting. The 2024 Trump seems more confident and is certainly more knowledgeable about policy than he was in 2015. His discursive style of talking can confuse listeners, but that was equally true nine years ago, and he never appears lost in his thoughts the way President Biden repeatedly did in their June debate. Not only do the editors at WSJ see no evidence of Trump's purported mental decline, but people who spend time with him deny it, too.It's rich, after all, for the institutions and people who for years ignored Biden's mental decline now to suddenly demonstrate concern about a candidate's mental fitness. The American people see through the charade.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

When Liz Wheeler invited cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough on the show to discuss his research on the corruption in the medical industry, especially regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, she had a feeling the episode would be censored by YouTube. And she was right. All Liz was able to post was a tiny clip of her conversation with Dr. McCullough. In the 30-second clip she was able to play, it’s clear why YouTube, which we know has sold out at the expense of preserving free speech, would shoot down Liz’s episode. - YouTube www.youtube.com Here are just two lines from Dr. McCullough: “The vaccines – it’s like a religious belief, and if you confront somebody on their religious belief, you know around the time of an election, people are going to start to react badly.” “Think about the transgender disaster that’s going on right now and being promoted by HHS. Think about the corruption in the CDC, the NIH, and FDA. We’re looking at a major house cleaning and a change in philosophy oriented toward patient safety and freedom of choice — medical freedom of choice, free of mandates and other types of constraints.” “YouTube won’t let me play the rest of my episode,” Liz laments, adding that the “conversation with Dr. McCullough is fascinating.” Unfortunately, Liz “can't even tell you the topics [they] discussed without risking a strike.” However, you can watch the full episode, which covers Dr. McCullough’s work on COVID, medical freedom, and cardiology, as well as his explanation on how deadly the COVID vaccine is and what individuals who received the jab can do to protect themselves. The episode also includes Liz and Dr. McCullough’s discussion over what the medical establishment might look like under a potential second Trump administration, what's on the horizon for patients, doctors, and all Americans, and Dr. McCullough’s take on RFK Jr.'s plan to "Make America Healthy Again.” To learn how you can watch the episode in its entirety, check out the clip above.

Angela Rye said white voters should face consequences for not saving democracy if Vice President Kamala Harris does not win the upcoming presidential election. CNN host Victor Blackwell asked Rye about former President Barack Obama chastising black men for hesitating to vote for Harris. "I think that it's wonderful that President Obama is out hitting the trail for democracy, frankly," Rye initially replied. "And what I think is a mistake is to let white folks escape the accountability that they must face for not showing up to save democracy themselves. Like, they want to get mad at presidential candidates, right, when they don‘t wear a flag lapel pin or they don‘t see you pledging allegiance to the flag."Rye claimed white people view the "terrorist attack on January 6, 2021," at the Capitol building as a demonstration of patriotism, so "the responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country. "That is white men and white women."Similar to other demographics that go for Democrats during presidential elections, Harris has been struggling in the polls with black voters.Rye pointed to efforts in Detroit to talk with voters about the economy and "ensuring that democracy is preserved even if it's not perfect. We're doing our part. It's time for white folks to turn their ire and their attention to each other to ensure they also do their part.“ Similar to other demographics that go for Democrats during presidential elections, Harris has been struggling in the polls with black voters when compared to President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Obama.The New York Times reported that while Harris is expected to a win an outright majority of black voters, only 78% of black voters are expected to vote for her, compared to 90% for Biden in 2020 and 92% for Clinton in 2016. Part of the reason for the erosion of support for Harris among black voters is that many believe Democrats have not done enough to support their communities despite receiving their votes. That feeling has only been exacerbated by the influx of illegal immigrants in big cities and the money being spent on them instead of inner-city communities. "Forty percent of African-American voters under 30 said the Republican Party was more likely to follow through on its campaign commitments than Democrats were," the NYT explained.Like Blaze News?

The members of the "Central Park Five" have filed a defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump over comments he made about the case during his debate in Philadelphia. The infamous case involved the brutal rape and beating of a jogger in New York City in 1989, and five teenagers were charged and convicted for the crime. Some initially confessed but later recanted and said they had been coerced into confessing. The five served time in prison until someone else confessed to the crime and was confirmed through DNA evidence. Police argued that the five were still involved, but city officials released them. 'This is just another frivolous, Election Interference lawsuit, filed by desperate left-wing activists.' Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris tried to use the case during the debate to accuse Trump of racism because he had called for the death penalty to be brought back in a full-page newspaper ad two weeks after the brutal attack. Trump defended himself against the claims, but the lawsuit alleges he did so in a defamatory manner and made several false claims. "They come up with things like what she just said going back many, many years when a lot of people, including Mayor [Michael] Bloomberg, agreed with me on the Central Park Five. They admitted — they said, they pled guilty," said Trump during the debate. "And I said, 'Well, if they pled guilty, they badly hurt a person, killed a person ultimately,'" he added. "And if they pled guilty — then they pled, 'We're not guilty.'"The lawsuit points out that none of the five had actually entered guilty pleas and no one in the case had been killed. Also the mayor at the time was not Bloomberg but Ed Koch, who disagreed with Trump about the case, according to the lawsuit. "Defendant Trump's conduct at the September 10 debate was extreme and outrageous, and it was intended to cause severe emotional distress to Plaintiffs," read the lawsuit. "Plaintiffs demand judgment against Defendant Donald J. Trump for compensatory damages, for punitive damages and for costs."A spokesperson for the Trump campaign minimized the lawsuit in a statement to ABC News. "This is just another frivolous, Election Interference lawsuit, filed by desperate left-wing activists," read the statement. Like Blaze News?

Several Democratic New York City councilmembers have sponsored a bill introduced in September that would significantly restrict what New York Police Department officials can post on social media.The legislation, "Establishing rules of decorum for posting on official social media accounts," was proposed by Councilwoman Nantasha Williams (D) and has collected seven co-sponsors, including Democratic councilmembers Gale Brewer, Lincoln Restler, Shahana Hanif, Althea Stevens, Alexa Avilés, Shekar Krishnan, and Christopher Marte.'The far left is not happy enough tying the hands of our police officers. Now they are trying to silence them too.'Williams' bill seeks to require the city to "promulgate rules establishing minimum standards relating to decorum that all agencies must follow in posting on official social media accounts."The posts cannot "insult, intimidate, or harass the public and shall not prohibit the posting of statistical or factual information." The bill's "minimum" standards declare that officials cannot post anything "attributing negative characteristics or traits to particular persons or to groups of persons," "using language that is intended to incite violence," and "using language that is intended to intimidate."Williams' legislation also mandates that the city establish a complaint-reporting mechanism for potential violations of these standards. Additionally, the city would be required to launch efforts to educate the public about the new standards and its reporting system.The bill carves out exceptions to official social media accounts of elected officials and accounts associated with an online alias. Williams wrote to fellow councilmembers in an email, "The need for this legislation has become increasingly evident, most recently highlighted by the actions of NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell.""This legislation is a proactive step toward ensuring that our social media platforms are used to inform and engage the public, not for personal attacks or politically motivated behavior," she added.Some NYPD officials, including Chell, have used their social media accounts to push back on leftist politicians' anti-cop agenda.In May, Chell torched Councilmember Tiffany Cabán (D) for calling the department's response to the Columbia University pro-Hamas protests "a colossal disgrace," "a horrifying affront to democracy in free speech," and "an abject failure of public safety."Chell responded to Cabán's statement, calling it "garbage" and noting that it "is coming from a person who hates our city and certainly does not represent the great people of NYC.""Last night's criminal conduct by entitled non accountable students and the support they receive from Councilmember Tiffany Caban is a colossal disgrace," Chell fired back at the councilmember. "A horrifying affront to democracy and proper behavior from people who are not accountable for their behavior. This was an abject failure of how civilized people are expected to behave in society while continually acting like a perpetual victim."Chell's statement prompted the Department of Investigation to launch a probe at the request of Council Speaker Adrienne Adams (D) and the Legal Aid Society."These posts can often convey inaccurate or misleading information and could potentially incite threats of violence," Adams claimed. "This conduct is dangerous, unethical, unprofessional because included in the department's mission is to preserve peace, protect the people and reduce fear at the preliminary budget."In addition to Chell's social media posts, the department came under fire after publishing its first "NYPD: Most Wanted" video in March. The two-minute, action-packed clip showed officers taking down "real-life individuals facing criminal charges."According to NYPD spokesperson Tarik Sheppard, the department created the video and others like it to "push back on the misinformation that's out there.""Because if we don't, it could cause damage to the reputation of our cops and the work that we're doing," Sheppard told the Associated Press.Councilman Robert Holden (D) pushed back against Williams' proposed bill, stating, "The far left is not happy enough tying the hands of our police officers.""Now they are trying to silence them too. When will this lunacy stop?" Holden asked.Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R) said, "When the City Council starts legislating what public agencies can and can't say, that's not governance — that's censorship.""This isn't just wrong; it's un-American. Forcing agencies to simply toe the party line and follow a script or face legal retribution is authoritarianism, plain and simple, and it flies in the face of everything that our Constitution and the First Amendment stands for," Ariola added.Last month, NYPD Interim Commissioner Thomas Donlon announced a plan to enact a "one voice" policy within the department, warning officials, "There's only one voice in this department, and that's me."The NYPD did not respond to a request for comment from the New York Post.Like Blaze News?
