Trump Win Helped Hostages, DC Mayor's Sanctuary City Shift, San Fran's 'Grade Equity' Insanity

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they briefly bemoan lazy disinformation before diving into today’s martinis. They tackle how Trump’s 2024 win quickly led to better treatment of Hamas hostages, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s quiet reversal on her sanctuary city policy, and San Francisco’s absurd new grading equity standards in public schools.First, Jim and Greg react to a CNN interview with former hostage Omer Shem Tov, who says Trump's 2024 election immediately led to better treatment of prisoners by Hamas. He says Hamas did not want Trump elected because its leaders knew their actions would no longer fly under his presidency. Next, they are intrigued by Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser’s quick yet covert turnaround regarding her support of DC as a sanctuary city. It's the right move but why is she really doing it? Jim argues that sanctuary cities are so 2020 and not so popular with DC residents. Last, they get a good laugh over the whole new meaning of C's get degrees with San Francisco's grade equity policies for schools. Doing homework and attending class no longer matter. Getting a 41 percent out of 100 will get you a C and a 21 percent is still a passing grade. This means hard work goes out the window. Jim also wonders where this policy was when he was in school. Please visit our sponsors:Cut through political bias with Ground News’s Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!It’s free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.
