“In her new memoir, Dr. Jill Biden, Ed. D., fondly recounts the moment she had ‘never felt prouder to be an educator,’” @AndrewStilesUSA writes. “You might assume it happened in a classroom. But that's not how the good doctor rolls.”
The former first lady's proudest moment as a professional teacher took place in the White House State Dining Room, where she hosted the first-ever Teachers of the Year dinner. In the book, View from the East Wing, she boasts of curating an exquisite menu of celery root salad, lobster ravioli, and a dessert trio of coconut custard cake, apple mousse, and strawberries with cream.
Home rental giant Airbnb has no comment about the decision of its chief legal officer, former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain, to offer up defenses for Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo.
Klain described criticism of Platner’s tattoo as a “partisan attack” and argued that the ink was nothing more than an attempt to remember “fallen commrades [sic],” reports @peterjhasson.
Even Platner hasn’t offered up that explanation.
Such sentiments have not applied to the many liberal operatives who have joined the company, like former Obama White House press secretary turned Airbnb head of global policy Jay Carney, who during an October 2024 CNN panel declared Trump unfit for office.
Zohran Mamdani’s pick to represent New York’s 13th Congressional District, socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, championed a notorious terrorist convicted of plotting an Israeli supermarket bombing that killed two people, @LevineJonathan reports.
Mamdani backed Chevalier late in the race, breaking a reported handshake agreement with Espaillat to either endorse him or remain neutral in the contest.
Espaillat supports Israel—the 13th district has a large, Modern Orthodox Jewish community—which may have put him at odds with the fiercely anti-Israel mayor.
