According to reports, in response to the post, President Biden dismissed the critiques and referred to Axelrod as a “prick.” Now, Axelrod is reaffirming his prognostication. In an interview with Maureen Dowd of The New York Times, Axelrod said that he believes President Biden has a less than “50-50 shot” of winning reelection against presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

3:45pm- Geoffrey Dickens of NewsBusters writes: “House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s Nov. 8 subpoena of Hunter and James Biden and Special Counsel David Weiss’s Nov. 7 congressional testimony actually forced the networks to—very briefly—break out of their rut of refusing to report on Biden family scandals. On November 8, all three network (ABC, CBS, NBC) evening news programs relayed the bombshell development but only spent 100 seconds total on it, and dutifully repeated the debunked White House line of there’s “no evidence” directly linking to the President. It was whisked away by the next day, as none of the network morning shows touched the story.” You can read the full article here: https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/geoffrey-dickens/2023/11/14/eight-new-biden-family-scandals-abc-cbs-nbc-are-hiding

4:05pm- Alex Nester—Investigative Fellow for Parents Defending Education—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a new investigation into “Gender & Sexualities Alliance” and “Rainbow” clubs rising in prevalence in grade schools across the county. Parents Defending Education writes: “Genders & Sexualities Alliance clubs, or GSAs, are ‘student-run organizations that unite LGBTQ+ and allied youth to build community and organize around issues impacting them in their schools and communities.’ However, GSAs have ‘evolved beyond their traditional role’ and ‘have emerged as vehicles for deep social change related to racial, gender, and educational justice.’ Starting as early as pre-school, GSA clubs serve as a place for students to ‘meet and connect with other trans and queer students on campus,’ ‘create safe spaces and talk about various issues they face,’ and engage in activism.” You can read the full report here: https://defendinged.org/investigations/pride-and-prejudices/

5:05pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “Did the Biden Administration learn anything from the massive fraud in pandemic spending programs? Apparently not judging from a new Government Accountability Office report that found the Education Department failed to implement basic checks to prevent fraud in its student loan forgiveness plan. Under the President’s original plan, borrowers who earned less than $125,000 ($250,000 for couples) were eligible for $10,000 to $20,000 in forgiveness. But the Education Department let borrowers ‘self-attest’ that their incomes fell below these thresholds. In other words, trust, but don’t verify. When the department ‘ceased work on the program in response to court orders and prior to relieving any loan debt, more than 26 million borrowers had applied for or were deemed automatically eligible for relief,’ GAO notes.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/education-department-student-loans-fraud-gao-report-dd867b5f?mod=opinion_lead_pos4
