NOTABLE QUOTES

Miles Smith IV contributor to The American Mind: Russell Kirk once said that Americans had to understand themselves as inheritors of a tradition to keep their hard-earned liberties. So, too, do Americans in the early 21st century have to understand that we are stewards of a tradition not tied to race or ethnicity but to a constitution and a specific understanding of ordered liberty. It is incumbent upon us to protect those liberties vigorously for ourselves, our posterity, and those worldwide who someday hope to be Americans themselves.

Revolver.news: The Biden regime is always working to concoct new methods to target, harass, and punish Trump supporters. And it appears they’ve discovered a fresh method by transforming the “friendly skies” into a politically charged hellhole of harassment, and they’re using a “Quad S” watchlist to make it happen. The ‘SSSS’ watchlist came to public attention thanks to the renowned investigative journalist James O’Keefe.

Victor Davis Hanson contributor to Frontpage Magazine: Yet if we know their despicable methods, aims, and strategies, why did they think the civilized world would support their barbarity or at least excuse it? One, Hamas assumed anti-Semitism was prevalent throughout the West and was canonical in the Middle East. Palestinian authorities count on the fact that being an enemy of the Jews of Israel wins them empathy of the world and creating their own unique rules of passive-aggressive victimhood.

Michael Shellenberg is a Democrat, author, and journalist who testified before the U.S. Congress on March 9, 2023: “The censorship industrial complex combines established methods of psychological manipulation, some developed by the U.S. Military during the Global War on Terror, with highly sophisticated tools from computer science, including artificial intelligence. The complex’s leaders are driven by the fear that the Internet and social media platforms empower populist, alternative, and fringe personalities and views, which they regard as destabilizing. Federal government officials, agencies, and contractors have gone from fighting ISIS recruiters and Russian bots to censoring and deplatforming ordinary Americans and disfavored public figures. Importantly, the bar for bringing in military-grade government monitoring and speech-countering techniques has moved from “countering terrorism” to “countering extremism” to countering simple misinformation. The government no longer needs a predicate of calling you a terrorist or extremist to deploy government resources to counter your political activity. The only predicate it needs is simply the assertion that the opinion you expressed on social media is wrong.”

Dr. Naomi Wolf’s review of The Indoctrinated Brain by Dr. Michael Nehls: It is scary that we are living in a time in which there is, as Dr. Nehls so powerfully points out, a war on our brains. But it must be less scary to understand what is being done to us, with Dr. Nehls’s help, so we can protect and strengthen our autobiographical memory and critical thinking, and so we can survive this onslaught with the full range of our intelligence—and our humanity—intact.‘

Monica Crowley, PhD, news analyst and former assistant secretary of the US Treasury reviewed The Indoctrinated Brain by Dr. Michael Nehls: “A brilliant expose of the globalists’ dark agenda and the manipulative neurological tactics they’re using to achieve it. If you want to truly know your enemy, this masterful unmasking of indoctrination is a must-read.”

Aimee Picchi reporting for CBS News: The typical American household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain the same standard of living they enjoyed in January of 2021, right before inflation soared to 40-year highs, according to a recent analysis of government data.

Dr Phillip Buckhaultz is a cancer gnomics expert: . . . the presence of high levels of contaminant DNA in the mRNA vaccines ‘may be causing some of the rare but serious side effects, like death from cardiac arrest’. He added, ‘I think this is a real serious regulatory oversight that happened at the federal level.’

Edward Ring contributor to American Greatness: Public sector unions are one of the root causes of government overreach and inefficiency in America today. As long as these unions can use their financial and political power to serve the interests of government bureaucrats, proponents of limited government are fighting a nearly impossible battle. They should be outlawed.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CANCEL THE FIRST AMENDMENT

(A bombshell report) Schellenberger: CTIL Files #1: US And UK Military Contractors Created Sweeping Plan For Global Censorship In 2018, New Documents Show

A whistleblower has come forward with an explosive new trove of documents, rivaling or exceeding the Twitter Files and Facebook Files in scale and importance. They describe the activities of an “anti-disinformation” group called the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, or CTIL, that officially began as the volunteer project of data scientists and defense and intelligence veterans but whose tactics over time appear to have been absorbed into multiple official projects, including those of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The CTI League documents offer the missing link answers to key questions not addressed in the Twitter Files and Facebook Files. Combined, they offer a comprehensive picture of the birth of the “anti-disinformation” sector, or what we have called the Censorship Industrial Complex. The whistleblower’s documents describe everything from the genesis of modern digital censorship programs to the role of the military and intelligence agencies, partnerships with civil society organizations and commercial media, and the use of sock puppet accounts and other offensive techniques. “Lock your shit down,” explains one document about creating “your spy disguise.” […] The whistleblower alleges that a leader of CTI League, a “former” British intelligence analyst, was “in the room” at the Obama White House in 2017 when she received the instructions to create a counter-disinformation project to stop a “repeat of 2016.” […] A key component of Terp’s work through CTIL, MisinfoSec, and AMITT was to insert the concept of “cognitive security” into the fields of cybersecurity and information security. [Note: Cognitive security = messing with your brain.]

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP & HIS FORMER TRUMP EMPLOYEES, SUPPORTERS, WH STAFF

Laila: Dirty Jack Smith and Obama Judge Beryl Howell Attempt to Cover-Up How Both Suggested Trump Was a ‘Flight Risk’ to Justify Secret X/Twitter Search Warrant

As previously reported, Special Counsel Jack Smith admitted he included inaccurate information when he asked Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, for a secret search warrant for Trump’s X/Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump. X was fined $350,000 because it delayed producing the subpoenaed records.

The search warrant was so secret that Trump didn’t even know Jack Smith issued a subpoena for the records. […] Over the course of the months-long legal battle, X argued that the nondisclosure order violated the First Amendment and Stored Communications Act. The Justice Department argued Trump would put the so-called ‘ongoing investigation’ in jeopardy. According to CNN, the DC Circuit Court Appeals said the court found that there were […] Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ also demanded information on all Twitter-X users who retweeted President Trump, liked President Trump’s tweets, or mentioned President Trump’s account in their tweets.

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET/ONE WORLD ORDER) & TRANS HUMANISM (AI HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

Main: Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt says A.I. could endanger humanity in 5 YEARS – as he likens devastation to nuking Nagasaki and Hiroshima

Another former Google chief has issued an apocalyptic warning about artificial intelligence – saying it could ‘endanger’ humans in five years. Billionaire Eric Schmidt, who served as Google’s CEO from 2001 to 2011, said there were not enough safeguards placed on A.I and it was only a matter of time before humans lost control of the technology. […] Schmidt is the latest former Google staffer to warn about the repercussions of AI, joining ex-Google engineer Blake Lemoine, former chief business officer Mo Gawdat, computer scientist Timnit Gebru, and of course, the Godfather of AI himself, Geoffrey Hinton. Hinton, who is credited with creating and advancing AI, said he left Google in April so he could warn people about the dangers of the imposing technology. ‘I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have,’ Hinton told the New York Times.

Goldman: Biden’s AI Boondoggle

The White House is deeply concerned that AI poses a threat to its diversity agenda. Who is the greater fool, Polybius asked: someone who milks a billy goat or the one who holds a sieve to catch it? […] There is a real issue here: How do consumers complain about mistreatment by companies, denial of credit, or other grievances when an AI algorithm is responsible? To “protect American consumers from fraud, discrimination, and threats to privacy,” the Biden order calls for “clarifying the responsibility of regulated entities to conduct due diligence on and monitor any third-party AI services they use, and emphasizing or clarifying requirements and expectations related to the transparency of AI models and regulated entities’ ability to explain their use of AI models.” But the Biden Administration’s biggest concern is that AI models might be applied to hiring by human resource departments, university admissions, or sentencing guidelines for criminals. The EO calls for the “incorporation of equity principles in AI-enabled technologies used in the health and human services sector, using disaggregated data on affected populations and representative population data sets when developing new models, monitoring algorithmic performance against discrimination and bias in existing models, and helping to identify and mitigate discrimination and bias in current systems.” The tech industry’s utopian goal of substituting machine learning for human judgment isn’t compatible with the thumb-on-the-scales nature of diversity, inclusiveness, and equity. And neither is it compatible with the EO’s plaidoyer for “transparency” in AI algorithms. AI by its nature creates a black box that defies after-the-fact explanation. Just what does AI do? Suppose you want the computer to . . .

Turchin: When A.I. Comes for the Elites

The remarkable success of ChatGPT and other generative A.I. has inflamed the already roiling debate about how the rise of machines will affect workers, and ultimately shape our societies. Doomers predict that robots will replace people and, perhaps, even destroy the human civilization. Optimists argue that, after the inevitable growth pangs, new intelligent machines will make our life better. After all, humanity has successfully digested previous technological revolutions without particularly dire consequences. But learning from history is not a straightforward matter. The A.I. revolution will impose new and unanticipated stresses on our society. A key dimension missing in the current debate is the role of social power, which determines not only the winners and losers of such technological shifts, but also how much social and political disruption will come in the wake of a technological shift. […] The A.I. revolution will affect many professions requiring a college degree, or higher. But the most dangerous threat to social stability in the U.S. are recent graduates with law degrees. In fact, a disproportionate share of revolutionary leaders worldwide were lawyers—Robespierre, Lenin, Castro—as well as Lincoln and Gandhi. In America, if you are not one of super-wealthy, the surest route to political office is the law degree. Yet America already overproduces lawyers. In 1970 there were 1.5 lawyers per 1000 population; by 2010 this number had increased to 4.[xi]

BOOK REVIEW: THE INDOCTRINATED BRAIN: HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY FEND OFF THE GLOBAL ATTACK ON YOUR MENTAL FREEDOM BY MICHAEL NEHLS, MD. PhD.

Wolf: Has Neuroscience Found the Key to What Caused Zombie Nation? My Foreword to Bombshell New Book, ‘The Indoctrinated Brain’

Please enjoy – to the extent you can – my Foreword to ‘The Indoctrinated Brain’, by Dr Michael Nehls. The book, which explains the neuroscience of propaganda, will chill your soul, but may explain a great deal. ‘The fact that the brain is plastic—modifiable—has become much better understood by the public in the past few decades. General readers understand by now that the human brain can be altered; and that experiences can modify its reactions and processes. We understand now for example that PTSD leaves lasting changes in brain functioning. It’s been established that motherhood changes the brain and that bonding itself is a chemical process modified by the brain. […] Dr. Michael Nehls’s thesis in this book is revolutionary because it brings together all of these fields of inquiry and proposes a set of questions so radical that they make the mysteries of the past three years fall into place. This is the indispensable book. In The Indoctrinated Brain, Dr. Nehls brings these areas of study together in a way that has never been done before. By applying neuroscience to the otherwise bizarre. […] The Indoctrinated Brain provides the missing practical knowledge of neuroscience, that explains why isolating people creates a more befuddled, more easily manipulated population. It explains exactly why a message that closeness with other human beings can kill you, or you can kill others (especially your grandma) through physical closeness, might rewire the human brain to create the vulnerability to delusion and bad science and cultlike thinking, that many of us observed in formerly critically thinking loved ones and friends, post-2020. It even raises the question of whether the spike protein contributes to brain fog and to the erasure of a sense of an autonomous, resilient, individuated, and questing self. If Dr. Nehls is right, . . .

Book Jacket: Michael Nehls, medical doctor and internationally renowned molecular geneticist, lays out a shattering chain of circumstantial evidence indicating that behind these numerous negative influences lies a targeted, masterfully executed attack on our individuality. He points out how the raging wars against viruses, about climate change, or over national borders are—more likely intended than not—fundamentally providing the platform for such an offensive against the human brain that is steadily changing our being and is aimed at depriving us of our ability to think for ourselves. But it is not too late. By exposing these brain-damaging processes and describing countermeasures that anyone can take, Nehls brings light and hope to this fateful chapter in human history. Nothing less will be decided than the question of whether our species can retain its humanity and its creative power or whether it will lose them irretrievably.

mRNA COVID-19 DEATH JABS

(Australia) Barnett: Scientists ‘shocked’ and ‘alarmed’ at what’s in the mRNA shots

Early in 2023, genomics scientist Kevin McKernan made an accidental discovery. While running an experiment in his Boston lab, McKernan used some vials of mRNA Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines as controls. He was ‘shocked’ to find that they were allegedly contaminated with tiny fragments of plasmid DNA.

McKernan, who has 25 years’ experience in his field, ran the experiment again, confirming that the vials contained up to, in his opinion, 18-70 times more DNA contamination than the legal limits allowed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In particular, McKernan was alarmed to find the presence of an SV40 promoter in the Pfizer vaccine vials. This is a sequence that ‘…used to drive DNA into the nucleus, especially in gene therapies,’ McKernan explains. This is something that regulatory agencies around the world have specifically said is not possible with the mRNA vaccines. […] In September of this year, Dr Buckhaults shared his findings in South Carolina Senate hearing. ‘I’m kind of alarmed about this DNA being in the vaccine – it’s different from RNA, because it can be permanent,’ he told those present. ‘There is a very real hazard,’ he said, that the contaminant DNA fragments will integrate with a person’s genome and become a ‘permanent fixture of the cell’ leading to autoimmune problems and cancers in some people who have had the vaccinations. He also noted that these genome changes can ‘last for generations’.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

(Covid-19 2.0 just in time for the 2024 election?) Nazar: China Begins Lockdowns Following Surge in Mysterious Respiratory Illness Cases

Reports from Beijing revealed that China is rapidly enacting lockdown policies as hospitals continue to fill up with children and adults experiencing a new strand of acute respiratory virus. The Chinese National Health Commission called for the return of COVID-19-era lockdown measures to help curb the outbreak, which, according to officials, is a result of influenza, rhinovirus, mycoplasma pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus. The South China Morning Post noted that Chinese officials have called on schools, childcare buildings, and nursing homes to lock down. Chinese officials have also ordered ordinary citizens to decrease personal movement and visits” as the mysterious outbreak continues. People inside and outside of China are comparing the situation to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(Unrestricted warfare) Solomon: China is running an operation to get Americans hooked on illegal drugs, former DEA boss warns

Police operations from California to Maine have busted Chinese nationals operating illegal marijuana growing sites. U.S. officials have clear evidence China is providing Mexican drug cartels the precursor chemicals to make the fentanyl flowing into America. The Drug Enforcement Administration has substantial evidence dating back a decade of Beijing’s role in flooding U.S. cities with a wide range of addictive and harmful drugs. Experts say there is growing evidence that communist China has launched concerted operations to hook Americans on drugs as part of a larger effort to supplant the United States as the world’s No. 1 superpower. Adding to the problem, the insecure border of the Biden era has only accelerated operations that have killed tens of thousands of Americans from fentanyl poisoning alone. The National Center for Health Statistics reported that drug overdose death rates involving fentanyl increased by 279% from 5.7 per 100,000 in 2016 to 21.6 in 2021. “I’m just saying that from a strategic plan of the CCP, it’s a brilliant concept that if we can get into America and sell this very pure marijuana and destroy Americans’ brains, so then they go to pills and other drugs, that’s a brilliant, unrestricted warfare,” former DEA Chief of Special Operations Derek Maltz Sr. told Just the News on Wednesday.

Caralle: EXCLUSIVE: Biden’s DOJ urged to investigate Chinese Communist Party ‘thugs’ attacking ‘pro-democracy’ protesters with metal rods and pepper spray during Xi Jinping’s San Francisco visit

President Joe Biden‘s Justice Department is facing demands for an investigation into Chinese Communist Party-aligned attacks against people protesting President Xi Jinping‘s visit to San Francisco this month. The House Committee on China, in a letter exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, laid out reports of the attacks, including demonstrators ‘confronted by Xi’s supporters wielding (sic) with metal rods, flagpoles, closed umbrellas, and pepper spray.’ ‘This is just one of many examples of the CCP attempting to intimidate, silence, and harm dissidents of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) living in the United States,’ reads the letter sent to the DOJ on Wednesday. The select committee, chaired by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), said the letter’s purpose is to ‘express outrage’ at the ‘thugs’, but also is requesting a briefing on the attacks before the end of the year.

Kredo: Qatar Cancels DC Celebration in Solidarity With Hamas

Qatar serving as mediator in Israel’s negotiations to secure the release of hundreds of hostages still being held in the Gaza Strip. Qatar has canceled its upcoming National Day celebration in Washington, D.C., as a form of protest against Israel’s efforts to defend itself against Hamas terrorists. The Qatari embassy in Washington, D.C., sent a notification this week to guests scheduled to attend a celebration of the country’s National Day on Dec. 6 that the event would be canceled, according to a copy of the notice reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. “We write this email to inform our dear friends and partners that while we truly looked forward to seeing you at the celebration of our National Day on December 6th, 2023 at the United States Institute of Peace, we have decided to cancel Qatar National Day,” the country’s embassy wrote in an email circulated this week to invited guests.

Zile: Not Another Dime to Pro-Hamas Charities in U.S.

It’s time to impose a moratorium on the allocation of public funds to non-profit organizations in the United States that support Hamas, the designated terror organization responsible for the Oct. 7 massacre that resulted in the murder of more than 1,400 Israelis. Not only is the organization an inveterate enemy of Jews, Israel, and the United States, but Hamas also currently holds at least nine American citizens hostage in the Gaza Strip. Nevertheless, numerous Islamist charities in the United States have come forward to cheer Hamas’ ongoing war crimes. In so doing, these non-profits have demonstrated their allegiance to enemies of the American people. Not another nickel or dime should be given to these organizations by any government entity — local, state, or federal — in the U.S. until their leaders are forced to explain and recant their support for Hamas’ violent attack and for Islamism in general. Staffers of these organizations should also be forced to come clean on their connections to Hamas. Organizations with documented ties to Hamas and other terror organizations must be stripped of their tax-deductible status until they abandon this support and their Islamist ambitions. The integrity of the U.S. republic demands such actions. Our 501(c)(3) system was not established to serve as a conduit of funds for enemies of the American people and for the overthrow of Western democracies. State Sponsors CAIR Without meaning to, the membership list of United States Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), a suspected proxy for Turkey, provides a roster of organizations that lawmakers in the U.S. Congress, state legislatures, and city councils can use to direct their investigations into public funding of Islamist organizations. The USCMO issued a statement on the same day of the massacre — before Israelis had even buried their dead — that portrayed Hamas’ spree of murder, rape, and kidnapping as an act of “self-defense.”

Quill: LUXE LIFE: Zelensky Just Made A $75 Million Purchase!

Before we begin, let me warn you that this story is based entirely on foreign and Russian sources. That being said, does anyone doubt that corrupt Zelensky stole the foreign aid money and siphoned it off to buy luxury goods? It’s no secret that Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet. Before the U.S. government backed Ukraine in a proxy war against Russia, high-level officials in Ukraine were under investigation for widespread corruption. Now, we are seeing online sleuths and investigative journalists allege that Zelensky owns several luxury yachts valued at $75 million through surrogates—meaning he owns the yachts via proxy buyers beholden to him. […] From published memoranda of the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association (MYBA), it became known about the acquisition of two superyachts – the 46-meter “Lucky Me” and the 57-meter “My Legacy” by the Shefir brothers, who are close to Zelensky.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

(Obama implemented the tracking/ surveillance program in 2010. Article from 2018) Chuck: TSA’s ‘Quiet Skies’ program raises legal and civil liberty questions

A surveillance program that monitors Americans on domestic flights, even if they are not suspected of a crime or having ties to terrorism, is being questioned by civil liberties advocates. “The whole thing is just absurd on so many levels,” said Hugh Handeyside, senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project. The program — dubbed “Quiet Skies” by the Transportation Security Administration — has been in existence since 2010 but was disclosed for the first time this past weekend by The Boston Globe. The Globe said “Quiet Skies” tracks U.S. citizens who have been flagged to the TSA based on their affiliations or travel histories. One businesswoman who had recently traveled to Turkey, for example, was tracked. [Note: Whether or not you flew to DC to attend the Jan 6 Trump rally, you are now in the Quiet Skies surveillance program until investigated and cleared by Biden’s DOJ.]

Weingarten: Meet the Israel-haters at the top of Biden’s pro-Iran government

Americans have looked on in horror as pro-Hamas sympathy and genocidal Jew-hatred have erupted across college campuses, on city streets and up to Capitol Hill in the aftermath of the jihadist group’s monstrous Oct. 7 attack on Israel. But perhaps even more horrific is how prevalent the “buttoned-up” version of this worldview is at the highest echelons of the US national-security and foreign-policy apparatus — and how the Biden administration’s Middle East agenda reflects it. For the latest example, look to the social-media accounts of the CIA’s associate deputy director for analysis. Amy McFadden, a decorated intelligence officer once responsible for overseeing the production of the all-important President’s Daily Brief, shared Palestinian propaganda on her Facebook page just two weeks after the Black Sabbath massacre, the Financial Times reports.

Editorial Board of Las Vegas Review-Journal: White House green Slush fund throwing around cash

It’s holiday season, and the Biden administration is in full Santa Claus mode. Never mind the $33 trillion national debt clock whirring upward, the White House is making liberal use of a massive green slush fund to dole out taxpayer-funded goodies to favored special interests. The comically misnamed Inflation Reduction Act contained $400 billion to be dispersed as part of President Joe Biden’s green industrial policy. That’s a fancy phrase for empowering government bureaucrats under crony capitalism to make decisions that should be left to the marketplace. Much of the cash will be funneled through the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office. There’s no shortage of outstretched hands. “The agency agreed to a $1 billion loan for […] There’s more. The Environmental Protection Agency also has billions in taxpayer cash to throw around. “The EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund will be responsible for distributing $27 billion to […] If ever there were an opportunity for congressional Republicans to highlight the Biden administration’s fiscal mismanagement, this is it.

Aoraha: Biden tells 813,000 more Americans he has WIPED their student loan debt: President has now forgiven $127 billion for 3.5 million borrowers – even though the Supreme Court sank his first bid

The former students will soon receive an email from Biden notifying them that their debt has been forgiven – despite the fact that his plan to cancel $400 billion in debt was rejected by the Supreme Court in June. The email – making clear that the help has come from Biden – read: ‘Congratulations — your student loan has been forgiven because of actions my administration took to make sure you receive the relief you earned and deserve.’ Biden’s headstrong push for the relief program coincides with the looming 2024 election and desire to get young voters on board.

Greenfield: Under ‘Bidenomics’, No One Wants U.S. Treasury Bonds

Biden keeps hyping something he calls ‘Bidenomics’ which sounds a lot like something a marketing scheme on a late-night TV commercial complete with an 1-800 number and a PO Box in South Florida that really goes to Nigeria. In the real world, everyone hates Bidenomics and despite the media’s constant economic hype, things are bad. Nevertheless, the Biden administration (and frankly most Democrats and Republicans) are committed to spending more money and then claiming that any efforts to cut the insane mega-trillion budgets will endanger Social Security. What’s really endangering it is constant spending with no plan as to get more money except maybe peddling some more treasury bonds with insane interest rates.

Kelly: White House Creates New Supply Chain Resilience Council

As part of his “Bidenomics agenda to lower costs for American families,” President Biden announced on Monday the inaugural meeting of the White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience. The cabinet-level council will implement “nearly 30 new actions to strengthen supply chains critical to America’s economic and national security.” The White House stated the “actions will help Americans get the products they need when they need them, enable reliable deliveries for businesses, strengthen our agriculture and food systems, and support good-paying, union jobs here at home.” The president claimed that his administration’s policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the CHIPS and Science Act have assisted with reducing supply-chain pressures, while lowering inflation and bringing more jobs back to the United States. “Today, our supply chains are stronger than ever, with backlogs, bottlenecks, and shipping rates at a 25-year low. We’ve created 14 million new jobs, including 800,000 manufacturing jobs. And the unemployment rate has stayed below 4 percent — below 4 percent for the longest period — the longest stretch in over 50 years.” Biden touted. […] Ultimately, Monday’s announcement could be viewed as nothing more than another reelection campaign tactic for Biden . .

Ballasy: House progressives, conservatives team up to call on Congress not to reauthorize FISA

ouse progressives and conservatives are teaming up to call on Congress not to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which expires in one month, by tying it to the defense spending bill. Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), and Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), former chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, sent a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday that was signed by more than 50 lawmakers from both parties. The group of lawmakers support reforming FISA as a standalone bill that would end warrantless surveillance under section 702. “The intelligence community is attacking our Fourth Amendment privacy rights. Rogue actors continue to abuse FISA Section 702 to improperly spy on American citizens, and it is far past time for the practice to come to an end. The Fourth Amendment guarantees Americans a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the government should never be given the opportunity to skirt the supreme Law of the Land,” Biggs said in a statement.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY CANDIDATES

Pullmann: Ramaswamy: ‘The Woke Regime Is A Hostile Occupying Power’ Like In Vichy France

The United States is in a cold civil war in which “the woke regime is a hostile occupying power not so different than Germany when it occupied France during WWII,” presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says in an interview released today. “If we lose this war, we will have full-fledged tyranny,” Ramaswamy tells Claremont Institute Chairman Tom Klingenstein in an interview transcript released to The Federalist. “You see, if people are free, then there will be group differences in outcomes because often groups have different preferences and talents. The only way you can make groups equal in terms of outcome is by force.”

Since cultural Marxists’ leading demand is forcing an unnatural equality of outcomes, he said, that necessarily makes them pushers of totalitarianism. “Woke America hasn’t yet achieved full Stalinist status. But if you want to see gulags being built, you don’t have to look any further than the treatment being given by the Biden justice system to the so-called ‘insurrectionists’ of January 6,” Ramaswamy says in the interview.

Sundance: After Pledging $70 Million, Charles Koch Selects Nikki Haley as the Vessel to Remove His Trump Problem

Charles Koch, a man of notorious disposition who loves open borders and multinational trade – which puts him on the outside of the America First movement, had previously pledged to spend $70 million (through his Americans For Prosperity political action committee) to remove President Trump. Today, Charles Koch selected Nikki Haley over Ron DeSantis to be the vessel for his effort.

Sundance: Desperate Measures – JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Recommends Leftist Democrats Support Nikki Haley to Combat Donald Trump

How badly do the high-finance and multinational trade groups want to eliminate the threat President Trump represents? Badly enough to support organizing all elements of the leftist electorate to vote for Nikki Haley in the Republican primary. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon made this suggestion earlier today at The New York Times DealBook Summit to discuss the 2024 presidential election.

Devine: There’s no debating that the DeSantis vs. Newsom face-off is a meltdown in the making for the left

This much we know about the 2024 election: Joe Biden is not getting any younger, and his approval ratings have been stuck in a doom loop for two years. So, despite his protestations, it’s obvious that California Gov. Gavin Newsom is running a shadow campaign to shove aside his fellow San Franciscan and Willie Brown protégé, Kamala Harris, and replace Biden as the backup candidate, just in case the president’s infirmity and corruption catches up with him. To that end, Newsom has been posing comically as a statesman astride the world stage with gratuitous trips to China to shake hands with Xi Jinping, and to Israel after the Hamas attack. Thursday evening he gets the opportunity to pretend he is a real presidential candidate when he debates Florida governor Ron DeSantis on Fox News.

After many demonstrations of political bias, NewsGuard is now finding itself as a target by free speech groups looking to strip it of its federal funding. NewsGuard, an organization that touts itself as an unbiased news rating group has demonstrated itself to be very biased to the left on more than one occasion, often giving conservative sites far lower trust ratings than leftist sites, even going so far as to complicate a site’s relationship with advertisers. As the Media Research Center (MRC) found, the group had connections to Microsoft and the American Federation of Teachers. Now, a group called the Free Speech Alliance (FSA), which consists of 36 groups, is going on the offensive against NewsGuard, and attempting to sway Congress into revoking the federal funding it receives. Among the 36 groups are MRC, the Young American’s Foundation, One America News Network, Act for America, Heartland Institute, Center for Military Readiness, Liberty Counsel, Martin Capitol, Inc., and the Concerned Women for America.

WAR IN ISRAEL

Greenfield: Hamas Terror Attack Kills 73-Year-Old Rabbi During ‘Ceasefire’

A surreal headline from the Jerusalem Post reads, “Israel-Hamas War Day 55: Three killed in Jerusalem attack, ceasefire continues”. But we know what a ceasefire really means. So do most of the screaming terror supporters crowding the streets to demand a “ceasefire”. A ceasefire or a truce with Islamic terrorists means that they get to attack and you don’t get to fight back. That was the case on Oct 7. And it was the case once again on Nov 30. […] Three people were killed and six other people were wounded in a shooting attack at the entrance to Jerusalem on Thursday morning, according to emergency services. […] Biden’s new appointee, Ambassador Jack Lew, posted a typical non-condemnation of “brutal violence” rather than Hamas or Islamic terrorism, tweeting, “abhorrent terrorist attack in Jerusalem this morning. We unequivocally condemn such brutal violence. My thoughts are with the families of the victims and I offer my sincere condolences to all those affected.”

VDH: What Were the Hamas Monsters Thinking?

We know the multifaceted strategy of the monstrous Hamas operation of October 7. In precivilizational fashion it wished to kill and mutilate the most vulnerable of all Israeli civilians and thus to shock the world that it was capable of—and proud about— anything, from decapitation to necrophilia. Such animalistic savagery, in the reckoning of Western therapeutic society, was supposedly to be seen as forced upon Hamas murderers by the “occupation.” The killers felt they would shock the Israelis into concessions given their eagerness to commit the unspeakable. They took captives for tripartite reasons: to barter children and the elderly for their kindred terrorist murderers in Israeli jails; to use captives to force the Israelis to grant cease-fires and pauses in their retaliation; and to bank them as shields to protect Hamas kingpins from retaliation. Yet if we know their despicable methods, aims, and strategies, why did they think the civilized world would support their barbarity or at least excuse it? One […] Second, Hamas relies on […] Third […] For all the boasts about loving death, it was Hamas who cowardly murdered the unarmed, scampered back to the safety of their tunnels, and used their own kindred Gazans to shield them from death—delivered to them by supposed nerds who love life too much.

Kredo: Hamas Has Only Used 10 Percent of Its Arsenal, Iran Says

“I met in Beirut with a group from Islamic Jihad and Hamas leaders, and they have reassured me that so far they have used only 10 to 12 percent of the capabilities and forces they have inside Gaza,” Iranian foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian was quoted as saying this week following meetings in Qatar, which provides safe haven for Hamas’s leadership. “Approximately 90 percent of the Palestinian capabilities, forces, and weapons are still held by them and have not been used so far,” Amir-Abdollahian added, according to a translation of his remarks performed by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a group that tracks jihadist rhetoric. “Therefore, they are in a good place.”

Margolin & Levitt: The Road to October 7: Hamas’ Long Game, Clarified

An in-depth look at the group’s post-2007 activities confirms that it was steadily preparing the ground (and the population) for war while lulling foreign officials into awaiting a moderation that would never come. Abstract: When Hamas took over the Gaza Strip by force of arms in 2007, it faced an ideological crisis. It could focus on governing Gaza and addressing the needs of the Palestinian people, or it could use the Gaza Strip as a springboard from which to attack Israel. Even then, Hamas understood these two goals were mutually exclusive. And while some anticipated Hamas would moderate, or at least be co-opted by the demands of governing, it did not. Instead, Hamas invested in efforts to radicalize society and build the militant infrastructure necessary to someday launch the kind of attack that in its view could contribute to the destruction of Israel. This article explores the road from Hamas’ 2007 takeover of Gaza to the October 2023 massacre. The brutal Hamas-led October 7 attack on Israeli communities near Gaza represented a tactical paradigm shift for the group, which was previously known for firing rockets at Israel, carrying out suicide bombings targeting city buses or cafes, and conducting roadside attacks and shootings on restaurants and bars. October 7 was something different. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, after viewing evidence of the attackers’ brutality, said that it “brings to mind the worst of ISIS.” ¹ The Secretary was painfully blunt in describing the attack: “Babies slaughtered. Bodies desecrated. Young people burned alive. Women raped. Parents executed in front of their children, children in front of their parents.” The group’s explicit targeted killing and kidnapping of civilians baldly contradicts Hamas’ articulated revised political strategy since it took control of the Gaza Strip in 2007. Ironically, Hamas’ sharp tactical shift only underscores that the group never abandoned its fundamental commitment to the creation of an Islamist state in all of what it considers historical Palestine and the destruction of Israel.²

Lynn, Magid: ‘There are 2 million Nazis’ in West Bank, says far-right Finance Minister Smotrich

Answering a question Monday by The Times of Israel about budget changes allocating NIS 390 million ($105 million) for beefing up security and security infrastructure in the West Bank, the far-right Smotrich said: “There are 2 million Nazis in Judea and Samaria, who hate us exactly as do the Nazis of Hamas-ISIS in Gaza.” He was using the biblical term for the West Bank commonly used in Israel. Smotrich was apparently referring to two surveys from this month that found that some two-thirds of West Bank Palestinians support the October 7 atrocities. Around 3 million Palestinians are estimated to live in the West Bank.

DEMOCRAT LED WAR AGAINST WOMEN

(American women athletes take note) Munro: Pool Player Lynne Pinches Gets Award After Refusing Championship Match Against Trans Competitor

Lynne Pinches walked away from her women’s pool championship game to show her rejection of the transsexual demand that men can pretend to be women. Twelve days later, on November 26, the English player got her deserved prize and applause from her fellow pool players: […] Pinches had earned her final place at the English Pool Association’s 2023 Champion of Champions Ladies on November 12. But the mother of three walked away when the association allowed a man to take the other side of the table after he used his “transgender” claim to beat a series of women.

(America last) Prestigiacomo: Dozens Of NYC Seniors Evicted From Nursing Home Turned Into Migrant Shelter

Dozens of seniors in New York, including a 94-year-old Army veteran named Frank Tammaro, were evicted from their senior center, which was then converted into a migrant shelter. City officials have estimated that tens of thousands of migrants have entered the city since last spring, which is costing around $5 million per day. Mayor Eric Adams, who previously boasted about NYC being a “sanctuary” for migrants, has more recently complained about the influx of migrants. Tammaro told Fox News that he had lived in the center for five years, and intended to spend the rest of his days there until he and the other members were notified that they were being kicked out. After he was evicted, Tammaro’s family found out that the center was turned into a migrant shelter.

Starnes: VA Medical Center Orders Bibles Removed From All Missing Man Table Displays

The VA Health Care System has ordered staff to remove Bibles from every Missing Man table display. Instead, the Bible will be replaced with a journal filled with blank pages. The Missing Man displays are meant to honor service members who are either prisoners of war or missing in action. Part of the display has traditionally included a Bible. “All table displays within VA Lexington Health Care System will contain the following: small table, white tablecloth, single rose, vase, yellow ribbon, slice of lemon, salt, bread plate, glass, candle, empty chair, and a journal,” the healthcare system wrote in a memorandum. […] Instead of standing on tradition and the U.S. Constitution, the health care system surrendered to Weinstein’s cowardly group. And in doing so they desecrated one of the most sacred tables in America.

Ring: Outlaw Public Sector Unions

They’re one of the root causes of government overreach and inefficiency in America. Money doesn’t guarantee victory in political campaigns. For proof, look no further than Meg Whitman, the California billionaire who in 2010 squandered $179 million in her futile campaign to beat Jerry Brown and become that state’s next governor. When money is married to institutional power, however, it makes all the difference. This is why, 10 years after the Whitman debacle, Mark Zuckerberg was able to purchase the presidential election outcome in 2020 for $419 million. Whitman’s money paid consultants and bought ads on television. Zuckerberg’s money went to supplement the activities of election offices in swing states – election offices that employed workers represented by unions that overwhelmingly favor Democrats over Republicans. This is a critical distinction. Imagine if a pro-Republican billionaire had, like Zuckerberg, poured hundreds of billions of dollars into “nonpartisan” nonprofit organizations that in-turn used that money to launch get-out-the-vote campaigns in areas heavy with Republican voters. What are the chances the election offices in these cities would have cooperated?

Harris: U.S. Doctor Stripped of Citizenship for a Ridiculous Reason

The irony in this story is so thick that you may need a scalpel to cut through it, something that a Northern Virginia doctor may not be able to wield any longer. Siavash Sobhani, aside from a few years of his childhood when his family moved to Turkey, was born, attended school, and practiced medicine for more than thirty years right here in the United States. He practices internal medicine, having earned degrees from George Washington University and Boston College before attending Georgetown Medical School. Thinking ahead, Sobhani applied for a new passport in February since his was set to expire in June. He needs the passport in order to attend his son’s wedding in Portugal next July. This isn’t the first time that he has renewed it. Over the years he has done so several times, each time establishing the fact that he was a U.S. citizen. So imagine his shock when he received a letter from the State Department informing him that he never should have been granted citizenship at the time of his birth because his father was a diplomat from the Iranian Embassy.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CHILDREN ARE THE TARGET OF THE DARKNESS AFFECTING OUR NATION

Duke: Social Justice Has Birthed a New Demon Child: “Language Justice” Is Its Name

There’s a new policy out of the Mile-High City that’s making some wonder just what it’s high on. After all, the initiative, called “language justice,” could conceivably turn the whole country into a Tower of Babel, as one commentator put it. As Just the News reports: The Denver school district is among the first in the country to adopt a “language justice” policy as a “long term goal.” The district would encourage non-English speaking students to be able to use their native language to learn as opposed to being educated in English, which advocates say is oppressive and rooted in racism. Denver schools had about 90,250 students in 2022 with 35,000 multilingual learners with home languages other than English. The district has 200 languages spoken across the district, with Spanish as the home language for the majority of those. The district included a draft of an equity document that includes a policy statement on “language justice.” It was included in the Nov. 16 school board agenda.

Starnes: Leftist Media Targets Child in War Paint at Kansas City Chiefs Game

A social justice media mob wants a little boy banned from attending National Football League games because he wore black and red face paint. Little Holden Armenta was also spotted in the crowd at a Kansas City Chiefs game wearing a headdress because – well – the kid is a Kansas City Chiefs fan.

Carron (pronounced Karen) Phillips, a writer for Deadspin lead the charge, writing a nasty hit piece calling on the NFL to address the child’s behavior. […] it turns out the youngster has a Native American heritage himself with a grandfather serving on the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. And addition video shows black NFL players enthusiastically joining Holden as he did an “Indian” chopping gesture. […] Now, I don’t know if Mr. Phillips is a racist or a bigot or maybe he just gets triggered by people of the Caucasian persuasion. Only the Good Lord knows what is lurking in that man’s heart. But to intentionally shame a little boy for loving his football team is heartless. And to manipulate the photo to suggest this child was wearing blackface violates is unforgivable.

Kirkwood: Vice Contributor Sentenced for Distributing Child-rape Porn, Attempted Rape of Nine-year-old

A contributor to Vice.com has been sentenced to federal prison to seven-and-a-half years for possessing and distributing child-rape porn and attempting to arrange the rape of a nine-year-old boy. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer of the federal Southern District of New York also sentenced sex fiend Efrem Zelony-Mindell to five years of supervised release. Zelony-Mindell was a big-shot contributor to several leftist publications. And he’s just one of the many sex criminals who worked in the leftist media.

Jones: North Korea claims its new spy satellite has photographed the Pentagon and White House

North Korea has claimed that its first spy satellite to be launched into space has been able to photograph the White House, the Pentagon, and various U.S. naval stations. Bloomberg reported that the nation’s reconnaissance probe was launched on November 21, and since then, it has allegedly been able to photograph Andersen Air Force Base, Pearl Harbor, and even the U.S. Navy’s USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier.

(Ireland) Durden: Authorities Demand Access To Private Social Media Conversations To Spy On Anti-Mass Migration Sentiment

Authorities in Ireland are set to be given access to private social media conversations in order to spy on anti-mass migration sentiment following the riots in Dublin. After an Algerian migrant stabbed three children outside a primary school, fiery but mostly peaceful protests broke out in the Irish capital.

Authorities reacted by being more outraged at the protesters than the actual would-be child murderer, who should have been deported 20 years ago and was previously released after being arrested for carrying a knife.

Seaman: Why is Switzerland jailing homophobes?

Making anti-gay comments in Switzerland could now land you with a 60-day jail sentence and a hefty fine. This is what has happened to Alain Bonnet, a 65-year-old Franco-Swiss polemicist who uses the pseudonym Alain Soral. In 2022, Soral released a video calling a female Swiss journalist a ‘fat lesbian’ and an ‘unhinged queer activist’. He was initially convicted of defamation and given a fine by a court in the canton of Vaud. Soral then appealed the decision, claiming it was unjust. The state prosecutor also appealed, claiming the judgement was insufficiently severe. In October, the Vaud cantonal court ruled that the original punishment was not enough. It found Soral guilty of discrimination and incitement to hatred, and promptly sent him to jail for two months.

Spiked: Sweden and the explosive consequences of multiculturalism

Where did it all go so wrong for Sweden? The nation once known for ABBA, IKEA and its social-democratic welfare state has now become a byword for gangland killings and grenade attacks. Crime has soared to unprecedented levels. Grenade attacks have become an unwelcome feature of suburban life. Islamism is spreading unchecked. Even some on the Swedish left have been forced to acknowledge that multiculturalism is unravelling and that the state has failed to integrate vast numbers of migrants. […] Brendan O’Neill: Sweden has found itself in the middle of a global battle between liberalism and Islamism. There have been frequent violent clashes over Koran burnings, as well as a terrorist attack on Swedes in Brussels last month. How are Swedish people navigating this? Ivar Arpi: Right now the majority opinion in Sweden is that you shouldn’t be able to do things like burn the Koran. And, like in much of the West, the response of the Swedish media and political class to any Islamist terror attack is to immediately consider the feelings of Muslims who might now face discrimination. […] O’Neill: How did things get so bad in Sweden? Has integration failed? Arpi: People have been saying that integration and multiculturalism have failed for a very long time now. But what’s changed recently is the feeling of hopelessness. In large swathes of Sweden, Swedish culture and even Swedes themselves have become completely irrelevant. The only thing relevant in those parts of the country now is how you can get government aid and what you can get away with without police getting involved. For a lot of new migrants, that’s really the only relationship they have to Sweden.
