Midknight Review -- new and revised: DeVos in a 50/50 tie in the Senate. Final vote on Tuesday of next week.

Betsy DeVos in a 50/50 tie in the Senate. Final vote on Tuesday of next week. She allows for non-unionized teachers and that is why we have opposition from Susan Collins and that Senator from Alaska. It is that simple.

If the vote remains the same as it is today, Mike Pence will break the tie on Tuesday.

My kids attend a charter school in Michigan and it is anything but a failure. They are way more advanced than the public school system in the same district.

If the Democrats want influence, learn how to win elections. Your teachers unions, and the democratic party, will be destroyed when the Supreme Court rehears Fredrichs.

Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, No. 14-915, asks whether such workers must continue to pay for any union activities, including negotiating for better wages and benefits. A majority of the justices seemed inclined to say no. This is a case that is before the Supreme Court now.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
