Local Business Owner Sets Sights On City Council Seat

Published

3 minute read

With a promise of transparency, lower taxes, fiscal accountability and accessibility, longtime resident of Red Deer and local business owner, Jeremy Moore will be running for a seat on Red Deer City council during the municipal elections this Fall.

Born and raised in Central Alberta, Jeremy has been involved in a variety of community initiatives and is the Past President of the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery and the Past President of Sunnybrook Farms. Moore previously received the Mayor’s recognition award for his work with the museums. Currently, Moore is the president of the Lacombe Fish and Game Association.

“I love Red Deer,” says Moore, “I have always been active in the community and running for City Council is the next logical way that I can serve the place I call home and the people that live here. I feel that my generation, people with young families, is under-represented on the current council. I have kids in elementary, junior and high school and with that I have a pretty good understanding of what young families are having to do to make ends meet.”

Jeremy and his wife Jill, along with their 6 children proudly call Red Deer home but as Moore notes there are few areas that he would like to focus on. Says Moore, “We need to sit down with our community partners and look for ways to continue to keep our streets and communities safe while maintaining the services we need to support our residents. Community-minded decision making is a corner stone of my campaign and I want to ensure that we bring the right people to the table when we are discussing budgets to help council make the best decisions possible.” “Crimes in the City are on the rise,” says Moore. “As a Council we need to look at our municipal policing, ensure that we are doing the best we can to protect the residents of Red Deer and support our local law enforcement officers.” “It is also important to me that we make certain we are getting the best value for our dollar. The current City council was able to keep taxes low during an election year and I think we should be making that same effort for the next four years.” “I have lived in Red Deer my entire life, I am proud to call Red Deer home and I will work hard to support the residents of the City of Red Deer. This includes being open and accessible and making sure that decisions are in the best interest of our city. As a successful business owner and family man I will bring a strong voice to council.”

‘Embarrassingly Wrong’: Corporate Media’s Talking Heads Confess Their Biggest Blunders Of 2024

Published on

 

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

By Owen Klinsky

From MSNBC host Rachel Maddow to businessman and television personality Mark Cuban, a slew of media leaders divulged what they got wrong this past year in a Semafor article published Monday.

Media missteps included NBC News President Rebecca Blumenstein underestimating the impact of inflation on politics, Fox News anchor Dana Perino incorrectly predicting Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would get engaged and CNBC financial journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin not putting “DOGE and the pairing of Elon [Musk] and Vivek [Ramaswamy]” on his 2024 Bingo card, according to the piece. Despite the variety of answers, one topic — Joe Biden’s lack of mental acuity —  seemed to sit at the top of the list for many respondents.

“Like many others, I was completely, utterly, totally, embarrassingly wrong about [President Joe] Biden’s lack of mental competence,” progressive British-American broadcaster Mehdi Hasan told Semafor.

 

 

Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election in July following a disastrous June debate performance in which he appeared to lose his train of thought several times and stated he “beat Medicare.” Prior to the decision to exit the race, the White House made various efforts to mask the effects of his age, with the president wearing sneakers rather than dress shoes and taking shorter steps up Air Force One.

The White House actively denied claims Biden’s mental health was declining, with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre characterizing a video of the President wandering away from world leaders at the G7 Summit as a “cheap fake” and claiming it was orchestrated by Republicans. Much of the corporate media supported the White House’s effort, with panelists on MSNBC’s Morning Joe describing a June article from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that detailed the president’s declining mental health as “outrageous,” and CNN’s Bakari Sellers suggesting in July, well after the debate, that there was no reason to believe Biden could not serve for another four years.

Other examples of the media downplaying concerns over Biden’s mental acuity include The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg rushing to the president’s defense after co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said Biden could have a “senior moment” on stage prior to the debate and MSNBC analyst Mike Barnicle describing members of the Democratic Party as cruel in July for trying to oust the president from the 2024 race.

More recently, former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza apologized in a YouTube video posted in December for waiting too long to investigate concerns that Biden’s mental acuity was deteriorating, admitting that as a journalist he should have “pushed harder earlier for more information about Joe Biden’s mental and physical well-being.”

American talk show host Brian Lehrer made a similar apology in his response to Semafor: “Many callers to my show said Joe Biden was in no shape to run for re-election. I mostly dismissed it as ageism. Then I watched the debate.”
