The good, the bad and the ugly at the end of Michigan’s Democratic trifecta And a bit of hope for 2025

As two years of full Democratic control of the Michigan Legislature come to an end, we can now look back on what the party accomplished. - Jarrett Skorup 
The list includes:
  • Hiking the income tax. Michigan became the only state in the country to increase income tax rates in recent years.
  • Repealing the state’s right-to-work law. This is a $1,000-per-year hike on what workers in unionized firms are forced to pay.
  • Higher energy costs that amount to $200 billion in total and hundreds of dollars per month to Michigan families, for increasingly bad service.
  • Over the past two years, Democrats (and a few Republicans) also voted for more than $4 billion in corporate welfare...

When democrats rule!-----California Electricity Rates are the Highest in the Contiguous US (and Still Going Up)

The rates in California are about double the average in the rest of the country and are still going up. - John Sexton 
  • California is run solely by Democrats and the Public Utilities Commission has been totally on board with raising rates, six times this year.

Pacific Gas and Electric on Dec. 19 received its fifth and sixth approvals for rate increases for customers in 2024.

The California Public Utilities Commission’s decision to green-light the rate hikes — slated to hit customers’ bills next year — marked a record-breaking number of increases in what has been a record-breaking year for PG&E.

According to regulators, average PG&E bills swelled 56% over the last three years...

Additionally, the judge ruled that the Biden administration must turn over documentation to Texas proving that it did not violate the court's injunction. If it is found that the administration breached the order, it "would constitute unethical and sanctionable conduct, and the responsible parties could be held in contempt of court," Paxton's office explained. Paxton stated, "We have successfully blocked the Biden administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office."

Liberals say they want ‘livable’ cities, but their policies produce high taxes, crime and chaos. - Allysia Finley 
  • New York is the backdrop for famous holiday films such as “Miracle on 34th Street,” “Home Alone 2” and “Elf.” This year came a less felicitous kind when a video appeared of a woman burning to death on the subway while the man who lit her on fire fanned the flames. It was a nightmare before Christmas...
  • Crime on public transit isn’t isolated to the Big Apple. It seems to be an epidemic in big Democrat-controlled cities like Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. 
Their residents are doing what their elected leaders won’t do: protecting themselves, mainly by using other modes of transportation like Uber.
Thanks to declining ridership—owing also to remote work and population flight—mass transit systems across America are bleeding red ink. New York’s subway ridership was a third lower last year than in 2019...
 But their high taxes, crime and chaos have become unbearable...

The Ghost of President Past: Joe Biden and 'A Christmas Carol'

The Ghost of President Past: Joe Biden and 'A Christmas Carol'

Undone by his own party, kicked off the ticket in favor his vice president, his remains stored in the White House; he is left utterly alone. During the presidential campaign, his ghost was allowed out — reluctantly, restrained by the chains of corruption and graft he forged in life — to speak insensibly about the threats of a Trump victory, but never about Harris’ virtues.

Even a ghost can’t conjure what doesn’t exist.

Knife-wielding Tren de Aragua gang members are mobbing border crossings at El Paso, Texas, in an attempt to break into the US — and have said they will attack border guards who try to stop them, according to a shocking Texas law enforcement memo leaked to The Post.
  • Last week, 20 of the Venezuelan gangbangers — armed with blades, tire irons and broken liquor bottles — tried to force their way into the US at a border gate, the missive from the Texas Department of Public Safety read.

Blaze News original: 'Defund the police' dying out, but cop-hatred from Dems, media still going strong | Blaze Media

Many leftist politicians happily trumpeted BLM's call to "defund the police." In October 2021, the Republican National Committee released a nearly seven-minute video of various big-name Democrats — including Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and Reps. Nancy Pelosi of California, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — embracing the "defund the police" sentiment.

Why Residents In Seattle Are Refusing to Tip

In Seattle, a growing number of people are growing tired of tipping and are reportedly refusing to tip restaurant staff due to the city’s significant minimum wage hikes. - Sarah Arnold 
With Seattle’s minimum wage now among the highest in the nation, some residents argue that tipping is no longer necessary, believing the increased base pay should cover service compensation.
According to a Daily Mail report, residents in the Democrat-run city feel it is unnecessary to tip service workers. 
  • The minimum wage will increase from $19.97 to $20.76 an hour on January 1, 2025. 
  • Seattle’s Minimum Wage Ordinance requires the wage rate to reflect the city's inflation rise.
One Reddit user said they are “done tipping 10-20 percent come January 1st,” while another person claimed that with the minimum wage hike, food industry workers have “finally reach[ed] a level playing field.”...
