1) Still Growing the Economy in All the Wrong Places
The good news: the economy is still creating jobs - albeit at a slower pace. The bad news: it’s government spending and debt that continue to finance the job creation. This year BY FAR the largest employers have been federal, state, and local governments and health care. Half of the health care sector is funded by…government.

If you think Uncle Sam can go running $2 trillion deficits and the government can keep swallowing up nearly 40% of our GDP then we are doing just fine.

2) Only Half of Americans Have a “Very Favorable” Opinion of the Father of Our Country
We don’t like to depress readers a few weeks before Christmas, but this story is almost nauseating.

A Rasmussen Reports poll has found that 40% of Democrats SUPPORT a proposal in New York City that would tear down statues of America’s first president.

And while 82% of U.S. voters have a favorable impression of George Washington, only 49% have a “Very Favorable” view of the Virginian who led the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War and served as arguably our greatest president.

To think that Washington wasn’t a great president is like saying that Babe Ruth was only a pretty good baseball player.

These attitudes are a natural byproduct of years of intellectual rot and anti-America indoctrination in our schools. Sad. Pathetic. And, yet, we let it continue day after day, and year after year.

3) Democrats Hate Children
Actually, Democrats say they love children, they just want fewer of them.

We’ve noted many times of falling fertility rates in America and we now have a remarkable finding from the Deseret News's American Family Survey.

"Many Americans are uncertain about whether declining fertility in the United States is a positive or negative trend, though Republicans and Democrats see the issue very differently...

55% of Republicans said that declining fertility is a negative sign for the nation — more than double the percentage of Democrats (27%). Conversely, Democrats were more than twice as likely as Republicans to assess declining fertility as a positive sign for the nation (32% vs. 15%).

4) U. Penn May Lose $100 Million Gift For Failing to Confront Anti-Semitism
We only wish more donors to elite institutions were like Ross Stevens, the CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management. This week, in complete disgust with his alma mater’s handling of anti-Semitism on campus, he has threatened to withdraw a $100 million gift he made to the University of Pennsylvania for a center for innovation in finance.

Stevens wrote to Liz Magill, Penn’s president, that the school has violated the terms of the limited partnership agreement, including its anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies through “its permissive approach to hate speech.”

The final straw came on Tuesday when Magill testified before the House and Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana nailed her for her blatant hypocrisy on free speech. He noted that she failed to discipline Professor Ahmad Almallah for leading a student mob in chanting: “There’s only one solution: intifada revolution?” This, even after Penn canceled a speech by Indian leader Narendra Modi and an event with former Immigration and Customs chief Tom Homan because he had served in the Trump administration.

Now that Magill has cost the university she runs a cool $100 million gift, will the board that oversees her remove her from office for both incompetence and a refusal to enforce fundamental American values? Don’t hold your breath, which is why more donors must follow Ross Stevens’ example.

BTW: if you’re in a holiday-giving mood, but your Alma mater has gone ideologically bonkers, you can always make an end-of-year donation to CTUP instead (reply to this email to find out how)! We are a tax-deductible charitable organization that uses our donations to promote freedom of speech, civil liberties, and prosperity – just the opposite agenda of most universities.

5) Four Biggest Government Unions Spent $700 Million in 2022 on Democratic Campaigns
Our friends at the Commonwealth Foundation tallied the totals:

[link removed]
They found that the four largest government unions, the National Education Association (NEA), American Federation of Teachers (AFT), American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and Service Employees International Union (SEIU), spent $708.8 million on politics during the 2021–22 election cycle, with 95.7 percent going to Democrats.

The Democrats that the unions elect of course then turn around and agree to even more lucrative union contracts at taxpayer expense. Rinse and repeat.

FDR warned us when he wrote:

"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service... The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress."
