American Fact of the Day!
Gerald Ford modeled on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine: Before he became our nation’s 38th president, Gerald Ford had a side gig as a model. In 1942, shortly after joining the Navy, he landed an uncredited spot on the cover of Cosmopolitan in his uniform. Another fun fact? It was during this time that he met and went on to marry a fellow model, Elizabeth Bloomer. She became known to Americans as First Lady Betty Ford. Here are the first jobs of all the U.S. Presidents.

Sen. Kennedy Explains As Only He Can Why Biden's Numbers Dropping to 'Ocean Floor' Level
Fox just broadcasted a new report on thousands of people flooding to the border by train. We already knew that there were record numbers of people flooding in.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) was a guest on Fox, and they asked him what he thought about the images of thousands coming by train, heading to the U.S. to illegally cross our border. "President Biden is in political trouble. His poll numbers are practically on the ocean floor. 70% of the American people think his first car was a chariot. At times, his VP talks like she’s from outer space.”
Unfortunately, Kennedy said, many members of the White House staff make policy with their "pumpkin spice lattes and man purses," and believe in open borders. He said Biden sent Congress a national security bill, and they responded that they aren't going to go along with it until he secures the border.
The border is one of the main issues that is going to sink Biden, along with his incoherence, bad policies, and the economy. It is a simple question, but the bottom line is Joe Biden doesn't want to address it. He only may want people to think he's addressing it before the election. But people have his number--and that's why his approval is so low, as Kennedy so eloquently expressed it—just 33 percent approval, with 64 percent disapproval.
Talk about trouble.

Boston Radio's Howie Carr Reports on Mayor Michelle Wu's No-Whites Holiday Party
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu decided that her holiday party would only include "electeds of color." However, the invitation was sent to all the city council members, including the ones lacking in melanin content.
Remember when segregating folks by race was considered racist? Well apparently in Boston, the mayor's office is trying to make racial segregation great again by holding a holiday party for "electeds of color." The only problem is that the email invite Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu's office sent out to city council members for the party, which is scheduled to take place Wednesday, also mistakenly included the white members of the council.
Wu rightly got a ton of flack for this tone-deaf move, but she still doubled down and insisted on holding her celebration, sans the pallid people. Boston radio host and conservative columnist Howie Carr grabbed the exclusive Daily Mail U.K. pictures, and according to his commentary, Wu hosted an interesting cast of characters. In his inimitable fashion, Carr dubbed it the "Wu Klux Klan" Party, which could not have been more appropriate.
Not only is this bunch colorful (pun fully intended), but sadly representative of left-leaning local governance. See, City Council, Los Angeles. Just like the Los Angeles City Council and their LAtinX Scandal that was exposed in 2022, the most problematic part of Mayor Wu's little soiree is the fact that it was done under cover of darkness. Had the Mayor's social secretary not made the mistake of sending the invitation out to everyone, no one would have been the wiser.
Democracy may die in darkness, but apparently, racism thrives there.
