CHICAGO, IL - The reelection of Donald Trump as president of the United States promises great changes in the coming new year. However, there are politicians who have chosen to resist Trump and his administration. They often claim to do so because they believe they are more moral, virtuous, and human than the incoming president. Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson is one of them.
On the morning after the election, after he had campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris in North Carolina, Johnson released an official statement from his mayoral office saying that "our president-elect has made direct threats against the most vulnerable and marginalized in our society."
He added: "Chicagoans can be assured that they have a mayor who will not bend, who will not break when it comes to protecting our city, our values, and our neighbors. When it comes to fighting back against any hate, we will not flinch."
There you have it: Brandon Johnson, the mighty moral man who would save us all.
BOISE, ID - A mother saved her infant son who was being attacked by a raccoon inside their home in Idaho, officials said.
The infant was sitting inside an infant carrier while the mother was settling in after returning home at the time of the attack, according to the Idaho Fish and Game.
“She heard a loud noise in the home and ran to the infant’s location. The mother found a raccoon attacking her infant. She was able to grab the animal to stop the attack,” the press release stated.
Officials say it is unclear how the animal got into the home.
The infant was later transported to a local hospital for “undisclosed injuries,” and later transferred to a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, officials said.
The baby’s father and a sheriff’s deputy returned to the residence and found the raccoon still inside the home. The two killed the animal and no other raccoons were found inside, officials said. Click here to read more.
KALAMAZOO, MICH - WASHINGTON, DC (Michigan News Source) – President Joe Biden, a self-proclaimed advocate of justice and unity, handed out early Christmas gifts to some of the most violent criminals in America. He commuted death sentences for 37 federal inmates, including Michigan’s sole death row convict, Marvin Gabrion.
The White House said in a statement, “[President Biden] believes that America must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level, except in cases of terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder – which is why today’s actions apply to all but those cases.”
Evidently, the actions of Marvin Gabrion weren’t heinous enough for President Biden to leave him on death row. Gabrion, as Michigan News Source reported two years ago, holds the grim distinction of being the only Michigander on federal death row. Although Michigan abolished the death penalty in 1846, Gabrion’s case falls under federal jurisdiction. He was convicted in 2002 of the 1997 kidnapping and murder of 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman from Cedar Springs, a crime committed in a federal wildlife area, which led to his death sentence.
WASHINGTON D.C. - As we prepare to enter the new year, we’re taking you back to some of The Daily Wire’s best reporting from 2024. This article was originally published on November 30.
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to eliminate the Department of Education, an ambitious goal that comes amid backlash to what critics say is the agency’s runaway spending and focus on “woke” indoctrination as American children’s grades decline.
“I say it all the time, I’m dying to get back to do this. We will ultimately eliminate the federal Department of Education,” Trump said during a September rally in Wisconsin. “We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing.”
The proposal was met with cheers on the campaign trail. But it’s also gotten support from experts like Jim Blew, who served as Assistant Secretary for Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development at the Education Department during Trump’s first term. Blew told The Daily Wire there’s no doubt in his mind that his former workplace should be eliminated.
SHERMAN, Texas. (Gray News) - An 8-year-old girl is missing following a crash that killed her father on Christmas Eve in Texas, according to authorities.
Will and Kristen Robinson, along with their 4 kids, were driving to Texas from Oklahoma on Tuesday to celebrate the holidays, WOWT reported.
In heavy rain, the Robinsons’ vehicle slid off a highway and into a flooded drainage ditch near Sherman, Texas — a town with a population of 43,000 located about 50 miles north of the Dallas-Forth Worth metro.
“Will kicked out the driver’s side window because they were trapped underwater,” said Lindsey Perkins, a friend of the family told WOWT. “The car flipped back and forth.”
According to a GoFundMe page, due to the heroic actions of Will, the family was able to get out of the car.
However, after getting most of the family out, there was still one child in need.
The couple’s 8-year-old daughter, Clara, was swept away by the floodwaters.
Friends and family members said Will lost his life trying to save their 8-year-old daughter. On Tuesday, Will’s body was recovered, but Clara is still missing, KXII reported.
