NOTABLE QUOTES

Lloyd Billingsley contributor to Frontpage Magazine: “Memory against forgetting” should be the motto of the Trump administration moving forward.

Julie Kelly Threadreader: In a final act of partisanship and poor legal judgement, Jack Smith dismisses the J6 case “without prejudice” to keep alive Trump haters hope this garbage case can somehow be resurrected when he leaves office. Smith is such a dirtbag.

Daniel Horowitz posted on X on 11/25/24: Right now, the DC federal court is sentencing J6ers (yes, 4 years later) at breakneck speed. 21 were sentenced last week plus 2 new trials. Trump should put out a video pre-emptively announcing that he will fire Matthew Graves on January 20 and that his replacement will place a hold on all prosecutions. This is needed NOW because it would have the effect of allowing attorneys to ask for a continuance and postponing trials.

Brian C. Joondeph contributor to American Thinker: Maybe Elon and Vivek, through their DOGE commission, will find that the 535 members of Congress and thousands of staffers are wasteful and irrelevant, recommending replacement with, as William F. Buckley suggested, the first 2000 people in the Manhattan phone book.

J.B. Shurk contributor to American Thinker: Democrats will learn nothing from their electoral drubbing. If they were capable of self-reflection and intellectual growth, they would not need “safe spaces” or social media platforms dedicated to mass censorship. When you are so afraid of dissent that you feel psychologically compelled to label all contrary opinions as “hate speech,” you are not a fully functioning adult willing to process new information and adapt accordingly. You are a toddler whose reflexive instinct is to cry, scream, and call everyone a “poopy head” when you don’t get your way. We have seen the “poopy head” routine play out on cable television for weeks.

The Heartland Institute: Despite the relatively small slate of socialist candidates in 2024, it is important to recognize that Our Revolution, the DSA, and the PDA are not shy about their vision for a socialist revolution in the United States. These organizations are very influential within the Democratic Party and continue to make inroads as they seek to replace so-called establishment Democrats with far-left socialists.

Kevin Finn contributor to American Thinker: Back in 1983, KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov stated that it takes 15-20 years to indoctrinate a generation. That’s the length of time it takes to educate one child. He called it “ideological subversion” and said it means “. . . to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.” It’s been happening in America since at least the 1960s, and countering it will likewise take decades.

Jaryn Crouson contributor to Daily Caller: “[T]he discussion on education has shifted from who wants to throw more money at the problem – the definition of insanity – to who trusts parents to direct the upbringing of their children,” Corey DeAngelis, executive director of the Educational Freedom Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Too many Democrats are communists who think your kids belong to the government. President Trump believes parents should be in the driver’s seat. The GOP is now the Parents’ Party.”

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: DECONSTRUCT WESTERN CIVILIZATION

Quay: Against Her Interests

In the waning days of the 2024 campaign, Team Harris made a truly devious effort to revive their flagging poll numbers. Their two-part pitch to the electorate went like this: 1) Men should vote Democrat so their daughters can get abortions, and 2) women should vote Democrat, then lie to their conservative husbands about it. Part one focused its appeal on the vanishingly small percentage of abortions performed in response to rape. This argument probably appeals to some men. Most Americans are pro-choice in that they don’t much care if their neighbor gets an abortion. And when it comes to their own families, they’d rather have the option than not. Better to keep abortion legal for any reason at all than for my wife or daughter to “need” an abortion and not be able to get one. In extreme cases, the argument goes, getting your daughter an abortion is an act of fatherly protection. When Charlie Kirk spoke out against rape exceptions, the anonymous X personality known as RadFem Hitler responded with characteristic vitriol. “No genuinely masculine man would ever allow his 10 year old daughter to give birth to her rapist’s baby,” she wrote. “Something is deeply CUCKED within you if you would allow a child molester to pass on his genes at the expense of your own progeny.”

Fleetwood: Report: Planned Parenthood Caught Selling ‘Viable’ Fetuses To University Of California San Diego

According to the records reported by CMP, researchers unveiled plans in their submission to “collect tissues from fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks gestational age from subjects undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination at Planned Parenthood in San Diego.” The researchers further noted that patients with “viable nonanomalous … fetuses” would partake in the analysis. Planned Parenthood will gather “evidence of fetal heart activity by ultrasound immediately prior to the dilation and evacuation procedure,” the submitted plan reads. The abortion provider aimed to harvest babies from “up to 2,500 patients,” according to the plan. As noted by CMP, the “majority of healthy infants born at 23 weeks can survive with modern medical care.” […] “Planned Parenthood’s use of heavy doses of a labor contraction drug to dilate pregnant women targeted for a viable fetus harvesting project means these are likely not standard ‘dismemberment’ abortions, but either intact partial-birth abortions or full delivery of live preemies,” CMP Founder and President David Daleiden said in a statement.

GLOBALIST GREAT RESET & THE AI TRANS HUMANIST (HUMAN 2.0) MOVEMENT

Reynolds: Is AI coming for your kids?

I wrote: What if the real threat isn’t that AI is super smart and kind of demonic? What if it’s just kind of smart but super cute? Maybe instead of worrying about existential AI risk, we should be worrying about something very different. I’m imagining a world where everyone has a personal AI assistant. Perhaps you’ve had it for years; perhaps eventually people will have them from childhood. It knows all about you, and it just wants to make you happy and help you enjoy your life. It takes care of chores and schedules and keeping track of things, it orders ahead for you at restaurants, it smooths your way through traffic or airports, maybe it even communicates with other AI assistants to hook you up with suitable romantic partners. (Who knows what you like better?) Perhaps it’s on your phone, or in a wristband, talking to you via airpods or something like that. This is what I was thinking about when I wrote: “I kind of think the global ruling class wants all of us to have friendly, helpful, even lovable AI buddies who’ll help us, and tell us things, but who will also operate within carefully controlled, non-transparent boundaries.” . . . Would people become attached?Probably. […] Underneath the cuteness there would be guardrails, and nudges, built in. Ask it sensitive questions and you’ll get carefully filtered answers with just enough of the truth to be plausible, but still misleading.

Giese: Is ‘The Wild Robot’ A Wholesome Family Film Or Transhumanist Propaganda?

Parents should talk to their children about what makes humans unique and beautiful and warn them to be wary of anyone seeking to demote humanity from being the pinnacle of creation. […] Along with presenting motherhood in a positive light, “The Wild Robot” also supports traditional gender roles and is not critical of traditional forms of masculinity or femininity. Also notable is a theme of pulling together as a community in the face of trouble and not indulging temptations to retreat from public life to go it alone in a kind of toxic hyper-individualism.

Characters are allowed to improve and aren’t required to stay just as they are. Due to the wilderness setting, the film regularly deals with both death and the fact that the animal world is full of predator and prey animals. Even so, Sanders provides viewers themes of reconciliation between sworn animal-world enemies. Such themes will be encouraging for young viewers dealing with challenging classmates and acquaintances in their daily lives. All of this is extraordinarily positive! It is only when taking a step back to look at the film in the cold light of day that a concern emerges.

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE DOOM MYTH: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE POWER & CONTROL

Hoft: Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos Pour Millions into a ‘Climate Vaccine’ for Cows to Stop Farts and Burps in the Name of Fighting Climate Change

Billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have plunged millions into a controversial initiative to develop “climate vaccines” for livestock, aiming to curb methane emissions from cattle in a quest to battle so-called climate change. This is another example of wealthy elites attempting to control the food supply and impose their radical environmentalist agendas on farmers and ranchers. ArkeaBio, a Boston-based biotech firm, recently raised $26.5 million in venture capital funding to advance its methane-reducing cattle vaccine. Leading the charge is Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a climate-focused fund established by Gates, Axios reported. Other contributors to the funding round include. . . .

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS ADMINISTRATIVE STATE

Sundance: Bureaucrats in HHS System Uncooperative with RFK Jr Transition Efforts

As the story is told, the unwillingness of President-Elect Trump and his transition team to comply with the rules of the bureaucracy in DC this time, has led to the Administrative State refusing to comply with any transition of power, specifically as it relates to Robert F Kennedy Jr and the healthcare transition team. If President-Elect Trump would just adhere to the DC transition rules, then the DC bureaucrats who run the Executive Branch might be more willing to comply with requests. However, unless and until President Trump accepts the administrative state’s power over him, they are at loggerheads.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS

Jullie Kelly: More from Jack Smith today. Moves to dismiss appeal of Judge Cannon’s order dismissing his documents indictment finding the special counsel’s appointment was unconstitutional. But Smith brazenly maintains appeal against Walt Nauta and Carlos DeOlivera, Trump’s co-defendants

Whelan: ‘TERMINATED’: DOJ Attorney Prosecuting Whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim Has Been Removed From Case Over Conflicts of Interest

Tina Ansari is the federal prosecutor who has been leading the outrageous transgender crusade against whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim. As Dr. Haim revealed in a tweet late this afternoon, Ansari’s role in the case has been “terminated.” I will here explain why. In a November 13 letter, Dr. Haim’s lawyers informed the Department of Justice of “serious ethical questions” concerning Ansari’s prosecution of Dr. Haim—namely, that Ansari’s “close family members have substantial financial and political ties” to Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM).

Tucker Carlson: Longtime source says porn sites controlled by intelligence agencies for blackmail

Tucker Carlson shared during an interview released Wednesday that a “longtime intel official” told him that intelligence agencies control the “big pornography sites” for blackmail purposes. Carlson added that he thinks dating websites are controlled as well, presumably referring at least to casual “hook-up” sites like Tinder, where conversations are often explicitly sexual. “Once you realize that, once you realize that the most embarrassing details of your personal life are known by people who want to control you, then you’re controlled,” Carlson said. He went on to suggest that this type of blackmail may explain some of the strange, inconsistent behavior of well-known figures, “particularly” members of Congress.

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

Joondeph: Congress Dithers While Vlad and Joe Play Nuclear Chicken

Is President Joe Biden out to start a war? Or are his shadow warmongers Anthony Blinken and Jake Sullivan responsible? War can potentially explode regardless of who pulled the pin on the grenade. Several days ago, the pin was pulled. Reuters reported […] Unfortunately, Trump cannot negotiate anything until January 20. All communications from Trump and his entire team are likely being monitored by the same agencies that spied on his 2016 transition, looking for any opportunity to invoke the Logan Act as an excuse not to certify his election. Remember that the president-elect is not simply “any citizen” corresponding with a foreign government. Biden is considered a lame-duck president. In politics, a lame duck or outgoing politician is an elected official whose successor has already been elected or will be soon. A lame duck is free to make decisions that exercise the standard powers with little fear of consequence, such as issuing executive orders, pardons, or other controversial edicts. Does this include starting a war? Let’s look at the U.S. Constitution.

Greenfield: Open Borders Tripled Child Prostitution

Biden’s open borders policy led to 8-year-olds being sold for sex. “Children, boys and girls, are being sold for sex,” Tara Rodas, a whistleblower from the Department of Health and Human Services, told Congress. “Just last month I spoke with a care provider in Florida who told me about cases of migrant children as young as 8 with sexually transmitted diseases.” Rodas, a former deputy to the director of the Federal Case Management Team at the Department of Health and Human Services, had been working on spotting red flags for child trafficking among the underage migrants who were being wrongly released to sponsors […] And they face those horrors because the Biden-Harris administration dismantled border security and immigration integrity.

Widburg: If you want to see a ‘rape culture,’ look to the illegal aliens flooding America

Do you remember how, in the first decade and more of the 21st century, we were flooded with stories about American colleges and universities being hotbeds of “rape culture”? We were told that 1 in 5 young women at college were certain to be raped, especially by toxic white, middle-class men. Even Joe Biden parroted that number. It was, of course, false. However, there is a real rape culture in America, and it’s one that the Democrats don’t want to speak about: lately, illegal aliens are seemly arrested daily for raping young women and children.

Durden: Americans Need $5.3 Million Net Worth To Be Considered Financially Successful: Survey

Americans have high expectations of what it means to be financially successful, but many of them do not expect to meet their desired level of success, according to a survey by financial planning company Empower. An annual salary in excess of $270,000 is needed for a person to be considered successful in the United States, the Nov. 22 survey found. In terms of net worth, the threshold is at $5.3 million. As The Epoch Times’ Naveen Athrappully reports, according to the Social Security Administration, the national average wage last year was $66,621. Meanwhile, the average net worth of a family in 2022 was $1.06 million, according to data from the U.S. Federal Reserve. Amid high expectations, almost half of the respondents said they will never achieve the success level set for themselves. Currently, just above one-third consider themselves to be financially successful. Half the respondents said they are not better off than their parents, and will never be.

2025 REPUBLICAN SENATE MAJORITY

Wall Street Apes: New Republican Leader John Thune made Mitch McConnell Head of the Rules Committee, the most powerful position in the Senate. Here’s Mitch McConnell being asked “What are your thoughts on running for re-election in 2026?” You have to see this to believe it. These people are everything wrong with America Yet somehow Mitch McConnell has just been handed one of the highest position in Government where he can block Donald Trump’s agenda. I honestly don’t even have words to describe this

Sen Ernst: Ernst Creates Senate DOGE Caucus to Eliminate Government Waste

U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), a leading champion for taxpayers in Washington, announced the founding of the Senate DOGE Caucus, which will work hand in hand with the Trump administration’s recently formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to identify and eliminate government waste. The newly formed caucus will build upon Senator Ernst’s decade-long work to make Washington “squeal” by exposing trillions in waste, fraud, and abuse. […] Senator Ernst is working with Representatives Aaron Bean (R-Fla.) and Pete Sessions (R-Texas), co-chairs of the House DOGE Caucus, and is joined by Senators John Cornyn (R-Texas), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rick Scott (R-Fla.). Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), and James Lankford (R-Okla.)in founding the Senate DOGE Caucus. […] Critics have falsely claimed that DOGE will be all bark and no bite, but Senator Ernst’s 10 years of “Squeal Awards” exposing waste, fraud, and abuse and countering them with specific oversight and legislative solutions lay out the perfect way to carry out these plans in Congress – Senator Ernst will lead the caucus to be the “bite” in the Senate.

Wall Sreet Apes: Americans Should Be Furious After Hearing This: Senator Marco Rubio says Americans “They’ve worked here their entire lives. They retire. They get $800, $900, a $1,000 a month from Social Security. — Somebody who just got here from Cuba 3 months ago — is given $1,500 a month” “So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28 year old, Able body person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.”

2024 ELECTION UPDATE

Talgo, McPherrin, Kendal & Haskins: Socialist Watch 2024: An Analysis of Socialist Candidates in the 2024 General Election

This Policy Brief contains a list of candidates who ran for a variety of political offices in the 2024 election while championing far-left, progressive ideology and socialist policies. This paper analyzes the outcomes of those races, compares the results to previous analyses conducted by The Heartland Institute, and provides a brief glimpse into what the future may hold for the socialist movement. […] In the 2024 election, Our Revolution, the DSA, and/or the PDA endorsed 51 candidates in total. Of the 51 socialist candidates endorsed, 48 won their races (94 percent), with a 49 percentage point average margin of victory. However, nine of these candidates ran in uncontested races. Taking out those nine candidates, the 39 remaining socialist candidates won their races by an average margin of approximately 37 percentage points. Only three socialist candidates lost their races, with a 13 percentage point average margin of defeat. Among the candidates endorsed by these three socialist groups, 27 ran for the U.S. House of Representatives, two ran for the U.S. Senate, 12 ran for statewide offices, and 10 ran for local offices. These races occurred in 22 states and the District of Columbia. California was the leading state for socialist candidates in the 2024 election, with 10 in total. […] While some may interpret the fact that these three organizations endorsed a lower total number of socialist candidates in 2024 as a sign that the socialist movement in the United States is waning, that may not be the case.

Hoft: “You Better Make Darn Sure if you Block This Guy’s Confirmation that You Are Squeaky Clean!” – Fitness Expert Jillian Michaels Warns RINOs Against Blocking Kennedy Nomination

Trump supporter Jillian Michaels sent out a warning to Republican Senators in a recent interview that aired on FOX News. Jillian Michaels is an American fitness expert, author, nutritionist, and TV star. She is also an outspoken Trump supporter. In her recent interview, Michaels laid out how important it is at this unprecedented time in history to make sure that Robert Kennedy Jr. is approved by the Senate and sworn in as Health and Human Services Secretary. Kennedy has promised to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) after years of chronic disease, nutritional failures, and pharmaceutical dependency. ONLY Robert Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump, and MAGA Republicans are talking about making America healthy again! In her latest interview Jillian Michaels warns Republican RINOs that they better. . . .

Sundance: President Trump Announces 25 Percent Tariff on all Mexican and Canadian Imports, Effective January 20th – Until Border is Secure

There is another caravan of illegal aliens approaching the U.S. southern border through Mexico. President-elect Donald Trump wants the Mexican government to stop this nonsense immediately. To put teeth into his demand, President Trump has announced a 25% tariff on all imported goods from Mexico and Canada until they secure their side of the border and stop illegal aliens from getting here. […] This announcement should get some attention.

Sundance: President Trump Announces Additional Impact Fee Tariff of 10% Against China for Failure to Stop Illegal Fentanyl Production and Shipments

This is the way. This is exactly what we voted for. In addition to the 25% border security tariff against Mexico and Canada, President Trump is announcing an additional 10% tariff against China as an impact fee for their failure to stop the illegal manufacture and shipment of Fentanyl. The 10% Fentanyl impact fee will be in addition to any/all targeted tariffs against Chinese goods that are planned.

Solomon: Trump border czar pointedly warns sanctuary cities could be prosecuted if they harbor aliens

“They need to be aware of a couple things. No. 1, impeding a federal law enforcement officer is a crime. No. 2, if you knowingly harbor or conceal an illegal alien from ICE, that’s a crime,” Tom Homan told Just the News in a wide-ranging interview. “So don’t cross that line!” […] Both the president-elect and Homan have been clear they intend to launch mass deportations of the more than 14 million illegal aliens believed to have entered the country during the Biden presidency, beginning with those who are accused or convicted of crimes. Since then, some blue states and cities have announced they will resist the Trump administration’s effort when it begins in January. The city of Los Angeles, for instance, passed an ordinance last week affirming it is a sanctuary city, matching the state law that California first passed in 2017.

Solomon: Trump lawyer sought contracts from candidates, Cabinet seeker while advising president-elect

Internal inquiry of Boris Epshteyn’s solicitations begins inside transition office as Trump declares “no one working for me in any capacity should be looking to make money.” […] One of those who was pitched by Epshteyn for both a consulting contract and an investment opportunity was Scott Bessent, the hedge fund manager named Friday night by Trump as his nominee for Treasury secretary. Bessent rejected the overtures and eventually, when asked, reported concerns about them to the Trump transition team, including Vice President-elect JD Vance. Trump late last week ordered an internal inquiry into the consulting arrangements of Ephsteyn and other contractors to be conducted by lawyer David Warrington with the results to be delivered to his incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles, Just the News has learned.

Rucker: Trump to Purge Trannies From U.S. Military, Possibly on Day One

Is it really happening? Multiple sources are claiming that Donald Trump will purge the United States military of transgender troops. Estimates put it at around 15,000 currently members of the military that would be removed. […] They would be given a special medical discharge, which would determine them unfit to serve in the US military, a source reportedly claims. Trump, 78, is also expected to go one further and issue an outright ban on transgender people joining the military – at a time when many US Army branches are struggling to hit recruitment targets.

[…] This makes sense, having people who are openly mentally ill in the military is not a good strategy. They need to be dealing with their mental illness, not defending our country in a high stress position.

Severi: Trump says he supports Jimmy Patronis replacing Matt Gaetz if Florida official seeks nomination

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday offered an endorsement to Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, if he decides to seek former Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz’s vacant House seat. […] Trump urged Patronis to seek the seat in his endorsement, stating that the man would “work tirelessly” to secure the border, strengthen the economy, and defend the Second Amendment. […] Patronis has not officially announced his bid for the seat, but responded to the endorsement in a post on X, stating that he was “here to serve.”

Greenfield: When Hating Isn’t Enough

Do the Democrats have a future beyond identity politics resentment? […] Call it identity politics, the rainbow coalition or the minority majority, Democrats had tethered their future to defining oppressed groups and organizing them against an equally artificial majority who were given the choice of standing with the oppressed or preserving their privilege. This construct had so thoroughly defined three generations of Democrat politics with only some very local exceptions that few national politicians know how to run on anything else except organizing racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQAIZ+ people, refugees, drag queens, terrorists, abortionists and illegal aliens into a clumsy alliance to oppose the white cisheteropatriarchy.

Shurk: No Wake for the Woke

Democrat operatives tell their dwindling viewing audience that they lost the election because of “disinformation,” racism, and misogyny. Americans are just too “stupid” and “deplorable” to be trusted with the vote. The country is a MAGA junkyard filled with “garbage” human beings. […] What’s the answer for their woe? Isn’t it obvious? The Democrat party must simply double down on its “winning” policy agenda! America’s borders must be made even less secure so that narco-terrorists, sex-slavers, and foreign soldiers can operate more freely across the continent. Congress must waste trillions more on impractical “green energy” schemes and limit the domestic production of oil and natural gas. We must have more inflation, crime, and illegal immigration until Americans are willing to admit that they’ve never had it so good!

Now is the time for the government to embrace “transgenderism” as a state religion. […] This much is certain: people this psychologically unstable are not survivors. They cannot endure conflict. Hell, they can’t even endure intellectual debate. They need censorship and “safe spaces” to avoid melting into an emotional puddle. Democrats will not control the future because they can barely control themselves. Their ideas are dying and not worth remembering. There will be no wake for the “woke.” We’ve already said our goodbyes. Good riddance.

JUDICARY

(The case always was about political activism) Severi: Judge tosses Trump election interference case after special counsel’s request

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday agreed to dismiss the January 6 election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump, after special counsel Jack Smith filed a request to do so. Smith filed the request on Monday to drop all four felony charges against Trump related to his effort to contest his 2020 presidential election loss to President Joe Biden and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S Capitol. The charges included conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Justice: Judge Rules MSNBC Pundit Potentially Defamed Trump Attorney

Stefan Passantino sued Andrew Weissmann last year after the former deputy to Special Counsel Robert Mueller claimed the Trump-world attorney ‘coached [Cassidy Hutchinson] to lie.’ federal court in Washington, D.C., ruled an online claim made by a legal analyst at MSNBC against a former White House attorney in the Trump administration is potentially defamatory. In September, U.S. District Court Judge Loren AliKhan denied a motion from MSNBC legal analyst and attorney Andrew Weissmann to dismiss a complaint filed by Stefan Passantino, who represented former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson before she became the Jan. 6 Committee’s star witness.

Jonathan Lange: Judge Who Struck Down Abortion Bans Resurrects Outdated Law

Women everywhere will raise their eyebrows when they learn that Teton County Judge Melissa Owens, does not believe that preborn life exists. They may snicker and guffaw, but live-and-let-live Wyomingites are famously tolerant of strange and cultish beliefs. Just don’t impose them on others. But that is what Owens did by overturning Wyoming’s Life Act and Chemical Abortion Ban. Her denial of life in the womb haunts the 35-page opinion like a ghost until it finally speaks on page 28. Owens intones, “[A] small group of prenatal cells. . . has only the potential of life” (§ 60). Only that. No more. Until that point, I had been wondering why her many references to Wyoming Constitution, Art. 1, Sec. 38(a) cited only half of the sub-paragraph. In a case entirely about the meaning of those words, one would think that they would appear somewhere in the opinion. They never do. So, let me quote it here: […] Owens devotes half of her legal analysis to putting the Supreme Court on trial and denying each of these legitimate government interests. Curiously, she never once mentions that she is arguing against SCOTUS – even though the Life Act explicitly quotes these words from Dobbs.

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

Short: Jack Black’s Disturbing New ‘Christmas’ Movie Shamelessly Makes Satan the Star of the Show

Earlier this month, Paramount Plus released a trailer for an upcoming film starring Jack Black titled, “Dear Santa.” Set to release this Monday, “Dear Santa” follows Liam, a young boy who writes a letter to Santa, but — through a slight misspelling — accidentally addresses it to Satan, who he subsequently summons. After Satan tells Liam he will grant him three wishes, he also informs him that he intends to take his soul. […] Considering the context — we are celebrating the birth of Christ — and the cultural decay we find ourselves in, this is another example of normalizing something evil. […] Consider the underlying theme in “Dear Santa.” Satan is accepted and befriended. […] Paramount Plus adds insult to injury by wrapping this package with a big, red bow and labeling it a Christmas movie.

Berrien: ‘Goodbye, Boys’: Texas Dad Says California Judge Gave Ex-Wife ‘Authority To Castrate My Son’

On Tuesday, a Texas father who has spent years fighting his ex-wife’s attempt to trans their son said a California judge had sealed the boy’s fate, allowing the mother to go forward with “gender-affirming care” that would enable her “authority to castrate my son.” “I lost all parental rights to my sons. Goodbye, boys. Perhaps, we will meet when you are adults. California Judge Juhas gave my ex-wife authority to castrate my son, James,” Jeff Younger posted on X. […] My expert witness, @Miriam_Grossman, did a superb job explaining the harms of transgender ‘treatments’ on kids.” […] Younger has been battling his ex-wife, pediatrician Anne Georgulas, for custody of their son James, who is now 12, since 2018, when Georgulas filed a restraining order to prevent Younger from entering James’ school and referring to his son as male. Younger‘s marriage had been annulled in 2016. Georgulas claimed James wanted to be called “Luna” and allowed her son to paint his nails and wear dresses, while Younger said the boy acted like a boy when with his father.

Luthi: Oregon Poised To Force Health Insurers To Cover Trans Genital Surgeries for Children—or Risk Losing Their Licenses

The proposed rule from Oregon’s Department of Consumer and Business Services relies on the latest standards of care developed by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which called transgender genital surgeries and other procedures “medically necessary” to justify expanding insurance coverage. The policy change stems from a 2023 law that made Oregon one of several so-called trans sanctuaries, guaranteeing that minors could receive puberty blockers and chemical or surgical sex changes. The rule, set to take effect next year, dictates “what insurance companies are required to cover and how they provide that coverage,” according to Department of Consumer and Business Services spokesman Mark Peterson.

BOOK REVIEW: BLIND SPOTS: WHEN MEDICINE GETS IT WRONG, AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR OUR HEALTH BY MARTY MAKARY, MD

Goldfarb: In Search of a Second Opinion

When patients turn to professional societies like the AMA or the American College of Physicians or the American Association of Pediatrics for vital health information, one might expect that the information is based on publications in prestigious medical journals of carefully designed and meticulously interpreted studies. Dr. Marty Makary, in his book Blind Spots, shows how wrong these assumptions can be. Makary is a frequent commentator on health-related topics. He is a surgeon and surgical oncologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Blind Spots consists of several examples where the medical establishment has perpetuated a myth often based on a single academic’s opinion that became ingrained in the culture as “truth” despite the flimsiest of evidence. […] Makary also visits the controversy about so-called gender-affirming care for children. This treatment involves drugs that prevent children with confusion about their sexuality from experiencing a normal puberty, administers sex characteristic-altering hormones, and even life-altering surgical procedures like mastectomies. He quotes some of the most thoughtful critics of these procedures, such as […] Readers will find this book interesting if they have not had much of a background in biomedical science. It is clear, concise, and well-documented. They may ask a few more questions at their yearly checkup, and that is a good thing.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: DIVERSITY EQUITY INCLUSION

Baehr: New study finds DEI initiatives creating ‘hostile attribution bias’

New research from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University reveals that some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training methods may cause psychological harm. The study, released on Monday, shows significant increases in hostility and punitive attitudes among participants exposed to DEI pedagogy covering subjects like race, religion and caste. This hostile attribution bias may contribute to increased intergroup hostility and authoritarian behavior in the long run, according to study co-author and NCRI Chief Science Officer Joel Finkelstein. […] Those exposed to anti-racist materials were linked to heightened perceptions of racial bias in the study. Participants were also more likely to support punitive measures against perceived offenders of so-called “microaggressions,” even in the absence of evidence. […] Across all groupings, instead of DEI materials reducing bias, the study discovered they engendered a hostile attribution bias amplifying perceptions of prejudicial hostility where none was present.

Kittle: Biden Admin’s ‘Woke’ Housing Agenda Faces Rude Awakening Under Republican Control

‘DEI programs masquerade as fairness while instead fostering division, inefficiency, and discrimination,’ said Rep. Michael Cloud. As Rep. Bob Good departs Congress, he’s taking on the disaster that is DEI one more time. The Virginia Republican recently introduced two bills aimed at dealing with the escalating cost and shortage of housing while combating the discriminatory practices of the so-called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion agenda in public housing policy. “Many Americans struggle to even dream of home ownership in the current economy,” Good, who, up until recently, chaired the House Freedom Caucus, said in a press release. “The Biden-Harris Administration’s radicalization of housing policy prioritizes woke DEI corporations, yet does nothing that will actually drive down the cost of a home in an economy destroyed by Bidenflation. My bills aim to restore Trump-era housing flexibility and eliminate the DEI housing policies that prohibit families from pursuing the American dream.”

Rondeau: Trans Montana Lawmaker: ‘We’re Every Bit as Biologically Female as Cis Women’

After House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) announced that all single-sex Capitol Hill facilities like bathrooms are “reserved for individuals of that biological sex” on Wednesday, Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr (D) — born Zachary Raasch — posted, “I literally just got out of meetings with members of Congress & used the bathroom on my way out”: […] “Trans women are women—full stop. We’re every bit as ‘biologically female’ as cis women & @SpeakerJohnson’s statement doesn’t change the fact that women’s spaces include trans women,” the transgender state representative added. “Cis” refers to the term “cisgender,” which trans ideologists use to describe people who identify with the sex they were born as. […] Libs of TikTok responded to Zephyr’s unscientific claims with “You can change your name, wear women’s clothing, inject hormones, and get surgery, but nothing will change the fact that you’re male”:

MacDonald: ‘Non-Binary’ Transgender Sperm Donor Sentenced to 20 Years for Selling Child Pornography on OnlyFans

The judge ordered that the sexual predator must be sent to a prison that can provide him with “gender-affirming care.” Wyatt Christopher Maxwell, also known as “Louis Whitaker,” 25, of Kansas City, Missouri, was captured while living in Mexico under a fake name.

According to a press release from the US Attorney’s Office, “The Overland Park, Kansas, Police Department received tips in February 2021, via the Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers tipline, that Maxwell was producing child pornography with a 16-year-old victim in Overland Park. Maxwell reportedly uploaded the child pornography to various online accounts. The child victim told investigators that Maxwell had been recording sexually explicit videos of the two of them for several months. Some of the recordings were created at Maxwell’s residence and some were created in a nearby park.” […] According to a report from Reduxx, Maxwell was a sperm donor who bragged about “contributing to the fertilization of 15 eggs.”

Kass: Jussie Smollett, the Obamas and the Chicago Way

Have you heard the one in the Chicago media about disgraced and outgoing Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx—the George Soros prosecutor zero–shouting “Karma is a bitch?” No? Have you read the one in Chicago media about the secret Chicago Way deal for Jussie Smollett, between Foxx, and Obamas? No? Well, I keep telling you to pay attention to what politicians and the media don’t tell you for what they avoid like the watchdog that didn’t bark during a crime. That’s where you find the root of the story. And so, let’s begin with a song at the Obama White House sung by Jussie Smollett, crooning “I Got a Woman” off key to then First Lady Michelle Obama, and every note was sung without a trace of irony. Michelle sat there giggling and clapping, as wiggly as a teenage girl.

Beaton: Aspen newspapers bury Aspen Skiing Company’s hateful diatribe against Trump

Right after the election, the CEO of Aspen Skiing Company, which runs Aspen and Snowmass resorts (known as “SkiCo” locally), was grieving. And he wanted everyone to know. He sent a memo to all 1,500-some employees instructing them on “the gravity of what just occurred.” (This is all he knows about gravity, believe me – I’ve seen this guy ski.) The memo CEO-splained that the election decision made by over half the nation was “openly at odds” with SkiCo’s values of: “Equality, democracy, civility, compassion, tolerance, sustainability, open-mindedness, gratitude, freedom, integrity, and justice.” When the biggest company in Aspen and the surrounding area, serving the public on public lands under favorable Forest Service leases, condemns over half of America – including many of its own employees and customers – for their purportedly undemocratic, uncivil, intolerant, unsustainable, close-minded, ungrateful, tyrannical and unjust election decision, that seems like news. But the local newspapers didn’t report it. So I wrote a piece about it. My piece received significant attention.

Huston: Canadian PM Justin Trudeau Parties at Taylor Swift Concert as Pro-Palestinian Rioters Terrorize Montreal

Trudeau, who, along with being Labor Party Leader and the nation’s PM, also represents Papineau, a portion of Montreal, in the nation’s Parliament, but critics are blasting him for being about 330 miles away in Toronto for the Swift concert as his hometown burned.
