Dan Lennington & Will Flanders contributors to The Federalist posit their theory as to why there is an increase in school violence: This is a dangerous cocktail: missed socialization due to lockdowns, falling suspension rates, sidelining and demonizing police, praising looters, and encouraging activism. When these policies are considered together, perhaps it is no surprise that our public schools are becoming more violent.

Rebeccah Heinrichs contributor to The Federalist on the push to draft women: Those in favor of drafting women in the name of “equality” will respond to the evidence that shows most women are not as physically able as men by insisting that drafted women will not necessarily be required to serve in the same ways as men, and especially not infantry. “Let them fly drones!” they say. First, this is a clear admission that men and women are not the same and that it would be wrong to compel young women to fight in combat. Second, if the United States needs a draft, it would be because America is in a major war with a peer power, and we need bodies.

Darren Beattie’s Revolver.news: Rhodes Scholarship is just a bauble for affirmative action beneficiaries and left-wing activists. Neither is impressive, and conservatives shouldn’t be afraid to say so. Rhodes Scholarships are not impressive or praiseworthy; they demonstrate nothing but an ability to win a politicized ass-kissing contest. It doesn’t matter if Rhodes Scholars were once deeply impressive, just like it doesn’t matter if the Nobel Peace Prize was once a great honor, or The New York Times was once a distinguished newspaper. Now, both are jokes.

Amy Miles abortion survivor: “As somebody who survived an abortion, I would want to tell the Supreme Court that my life mattered.”

Tyler: Trump To Democrats: Get Control Or Call In National Guard To Handle ‘Smash & Grab’ Chaos!
“If Democrats don’t immediately stop smash-and-grab robberies, which are taking place in their cities, the National Guard must be called out. There has never been such a thing that has happened in our Country. Large numbers of stores are leaving San Francisco and other cities. Some chains are closing most of their stores, it is all not even believable.”

JANUARY 6

Beitsch: Cheney warns of consequences for Trump in dealings with Jan. 6 committee
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the vice chairwoman of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, suggested Wednesday that former President Trump could be held responsible for any falsehoods exchanged with the panel. “President Trump continues to make the same false claims about a stolen election with which he has misled millions of Americans. These are the same claims he knows provoked violence in the past. He has recently suggested that he wants to debate members of this committee,” Cheney said. “This committee’s investigation into the violent assault on our Capitol on Jan. 6 is not a game. When this committee convenes hearings, witnesses will be called to testify under oath. Any communications Mr. Trump has with this committee will be under oath. And if he persists in lying, then he will be accountable under the laws of this great nation and subject to criminal penalties for every false word he speaks.”

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: DOJ Is Trying to Stop Funding for Attorneys and Cripple the Defense of J6 Defendants (AUDIO)
Earlier today we reported on the DOJ announcing they had an investigation ongoing into the nonprofit created by Sidney Powell after the 2020 Election.  Then we reported on how the attorney at the DOJ overseeing this case is the same person overseeing the January 6 capitol protesters case.
After sharing our message we next heard from an attorney who is working for two individuals sitting in jails awaiting trials not scheduled till next year. Attorney Jon Moseley shared that he is the attorney for Oath Keeper Kelly Meggs and Proud Boys Chapter leader Zachary Rehl.   He has a friend representing another Oath Keeper. Moseley says that he knows that Sidney Powell’s non-profit, Defending the Republic, is spending its donations paying for attorneys because “I am one of them”. […]  Listen to a short discussion with attorney Jon Moseley from today’s Joe Hoft Show on RealTalk93.3 below.

Grayer, Nobles, Cohen & Wild: January 6 committee moves to hold former DOJ official in contempt but also gives him one last chance to cooperate
The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol approved on Wednesday night the report to hold former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark in contempt of Congress for defying his subpoena by refusing to answer questions during a recent deposition and failing to hand over documents to the panel. But the panel is also giving Clark another opportunity to appear, on Saturday, in light of a new letter he sent to the committee stating that he intends to claim Fifth Amendment protection.  […]  If Clark answers the committee’s questions by pleading the Fifth Amendment, the panel will likely have to stop the process of holding him in criminal contempt. If Clark continues to stonewall the committee, and invoke the Fifth Amendment in ways the committee deems illegitimate, the panel will proceed with a floor vote as soon as next week. […]  Although Raskin said the committee would not “begrudge anyone in honest invocation of the Fifth Amendment,” he added that Clark’s case to invoke it here is “certainly unusual” and noted that Clark’s former Justice Department superiors, Jeffrey Rosen and Richard Donoghue, had spoken to the committee without invoking the Fifth Amendment.

GOP

Lonas: Ohio governor signs bill allowing small businesses to stay open during health emergencies
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) signed a bill on Wednesday that will allow small businesses to stay open during health emergencies.  The “Business Fairness Act” will allow small businesses to remain open during health emergencies as long as they can meet safety conditions. The bill was sponsored by Republican state Reps. Shane Wilkin and Jon Cross after bigger companies were allowed to stay open during the pandemic but smaller businesses were forced to close. “Ohio took the lead nationwide in working with businesses and industry leaders to help develop safe workplace guidelines and keep Ohioans working during the pandemic,” said DeWine.

Heinrichs: Republicans Are Going To Help Democrats Draft Your Daughters Unless You Raise Cain
Efforts to draft America’s daughters for war is the perfect example of how the left’s quest for dissolving the distinctions between men and women in the name of “equality” is in fact anti-woman. The left is doing this with little debate, under the foreboding storm clouds of an increasingly militarily strong and brazenly aggressive China determined to supplant the United States. Talk of the draft, which the government hasn’t used since 1973, is unsettling enough, but expanding it to women, now, should alert Americans to call their representatives to state their opposition to the Drafting Daughters provision in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act. Democrats successfully pushed for it, and enough Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, went along with it, as the next logical step for “equality” since the Obama administration opened military combat jobs to women. […]  Everything from what our military academies teach, to military recruiting aims, to the weapons we buy and deploy should be designed to build, train, and equip the most lethal and effective military. Studies highlight what common sense and experience tells all of us: men perform better in military training than women. A 2015 Marine Corps study concluded that, in 93 out of 134 tasks that were tested, the all-male groups outperformed the male-female integrated groups. The units with only men got to their targets faster and hit the targets more successfully

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATE

Saavedra: BREAKING: Biden Urges Businesses To Implement Vaccine Mandate After Federal Court Blocks It Pending Review
Democrat President Joe Biden is urging businesses to implement vaccine mandates even though a federal court recently blocked it citing possible “grave statutory and constitutional” issues. A senior administration official said, “We’re asking businesses to step forward and do what’s right to protect our workers and to protect our communities, which is to put in place some sort of vaccination requirement or testing requirements for the workplace.”

(New Zealand) Parsons: Sporty plumber, 26, DIES 12 days after getting the Pfizer Covid vaccine – as authorities probe if his tragic death was related to the jab
A fit and active 26-year-old man has mysterious died with fears he may have suffered fatal side effects 12 days after receiving Pfizer‘s Covid vaccine. Rory James Nairn, 26, had heart palpitations for several days before collapsing to the floor of his Dunedin home in New Zealand on November 17.
His distraught fiancée Ashleigh Wilson is desperately searching for answers after the ‘traumatic’ ordeal and says not knowing what happened is ‘frustrating’. […]  Ms Wilson, who is vaccinated, said no matter what the post-mortem results show, the public should be more aware of the potential side effects so they know to seek help immediately. She said the risks are all a bit ‘blasé’ with only a small pamphlet handed out after getting a shot. […]  ‘He was 26 years old, with no pre-existing medical conditions. He played rugby, went diving and hunting on the weekends, worked hard as a plumber, and had his whole life ahead of him, Ms Wilson said.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA

Sundance: Frustrated That Omicron Fear Is Not Permeating American Psyche, White House Planning More COVID Mandates
The problem for the White House is the public reaction to the new COVID variant Omicron did not meet their expectations. The White House needs more concern, more fear, more panic to enhance their larger objective {Go Deep}.  The Biden team really need Omicron fear to permeate the American psyche, in order to achieve the Build Back Better agenda.  They desperately need it. If people just shake it off and go about living their lives, the White House will be facing an electorate angry about inflation; that’s a problem.

Husbro: Federal Government to Shut Down in Two Days, Some Republicans Seek to Use Leverage to Defund Vax Mandates
Democrats must find a solution to fund the government before the federal government closes after midnight Friday. Though the Democrats are slowly attempting to work out a compromise with Senate and House Republicans to stave off another shut down until January 28, that could have been prevented weeks if not months ago by Democrats prioritizing funding the government instead of pushing massive spending bills through Congress. Republicans, however, see an opportunity to defund President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate on the private sector.

Moran: Biden FCC Nominee Claims Calling Fox News ‘Propaganda’ Will Not Influence Her as Commissioner
Gigi Sohn, one of President Joe Biden’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) nominees, said on Wednesday that her labeling Fox News “state-sponsored propaganda” would not influence her policies as a potential FCC commissioner. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) asked Sohn about her criticism of conservative media. Sohn, if confirmed to become an FCC commissioner, would have wide swathe over conservative media and other news outlets. Sohn cofounded Public Knowledge, a leftist nonprofit that has called on cable and satellite providers to censor One America News. Sohn has also called for the Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a conservative-owned network of local broadcasters, to be stripped of its license. The FCC nominee has also called Fox News “dangerous to our democracy” and “state-sponsored propaganda.”

Moore, Fickenscher & Golding: Biden likens holiday supply shortage to past Christmas toy fads
President Biden downplayed the supply-chain crisis that’s bedeviling American consumers as he compared the looming shortage of Christmas presents to past years when fads caused popular toys to fly off the shelves. “Now, I can’t promise that every person will get every gift they want on time — only Santa Claus can keep that promise,” Biden said on Wednesday. “But there are items every year that sell out, that are hard to find.” He added: “Some of you moms and dads may remember Cabbage Patch Kids back in the ’80s or Beanie Babies in the ’90s or other toys that have run out at Christmastime in past years when there w​ere no supply chain problems.”

Husebro: Pass the Buck: Biden Calls for Investigation into Retailers on Supply Chains
The Biden-Harris administration on Monday opened an investigation into retailers, and not itself, to scrutinize the supply chain crisis. The probe is a repeated strategy from November when the administration opened a Department of Justice probe into oil companies for allegedly “gouging people.” The investigations into private companies is an Obama-era tactic deployed to displace blame on failed administrative policies to the private sector. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) probe into nine massive retailers demands “detailed information” to explain how supply chain disruptions “are causing serious and ongoing hardships for consumers and harming competition in the U.S. economy,” the agency announced Monday.

AN AMERICA IN DECLINE

Shurk: The Frogs Have Begun Fleeing the Government’s Boiling Pot
The federal government spies on every email, text, and call you make.  It uses your phone’s location services to pinpoint where you are at all times.  It knows which I.P. addresses are associated with online comments that have been deemed “politically incorrect.”  Its partnerships with Amazon and Walmart let it know what you’re reading and buying.  Its partnerships with Google and Facebook let it know what you’re thinking.  Its partnerships with Twitter and Hollywood allow it to censor unapproved messages before too many brains have the opportunity to consider new thoughts.  Its alliance with credit card companies allows it to track all your financial transactions and thereby understand your habits, preferences, choices, and addictions.  Its alliance with cellular companies allows it to monitor all your movements, contacts, and associations.  And all of these consumer comforts that are used by the “national security” surveillance state to watch everyone in real time constantly measure every American’s potential for subversiveness, even when that American is engaged in the most mundane things during the course of an ordinary day.  Now, whom does the government fear most under these conditions?  Hint: It is not the millions of illegal aliens who pour through our uncontrolled borders  . . . […]  Authoritarianism has taken root in America?  Yes.  The police state is beginning to enforce its will at the expense of dissent?  Certainly.  All hope is lost because the political left’s “long march through the institutions” is heading up the front drive toward total victory?  Au contraire!  The State’s slow yet relentless takeover of society may have achieved success this last century by dedicating its enormous energy to rounding up all the independent-minded frogs and throwing them into the same barely simmering pot under close watch until those in power became hungry enough to feast, but now our totalitarian cooks have begun boiling the societal pot with such intemperance that the more slippery frogs have begun squirming to safety and threaten to topple over the whole cauldron, leaving the tyrants with nothing to eat.

Levoritz: The sinister nature of electric cars
We have to begin with asking why is the governing pushing electric vehicles? And it’s not just cars, it’s also trucks. Why are they ignoring hybrid vehicles? If something happens to the electric guts of a properly designed hybrid car, the vehicle can limp along with its smaller gas engine until it reaches safety. What happens to a fully electric vehicle if its electrical system fails? Nothing, of course! You’re stuck. All you have is a hunk of metal and plastic. […]  This analysis begins by recognizing that these smart people are fully aware of the above two points; namely, that fully-electric vehicles are a riskier transport system compared to hybrids and renewable power is a less efficient use of limited energy resources than gasoline. Given this information, it is time for our conspiracy theory.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CRT (WOKE IDENTITY POLITICS)

Revolver.news: The Rhodes Scholars Are Back, And They’re Still Proof Of America’s Laughingstock Elite
Late last year, the Rhodes Trust capped off a cartoonish 2020 by naming the most preposterous set of Rhodes Scholars in American history. Twenty-one out of thirty-two scholars that year were “of color,” ten were black, one was an illegal immigrant, one was “non-binary,” and virtually all of them were distinguished by a fanatical commitment to left-wing ideological fads of the moment. It was a worthy end to 2020. In a year symbolized by “racial reckoning” and the visible decay of every American institution, one of the most thoroughly-gutted and skin-suited once-great relics of the old America delivered a worshipful tribute to open borders, reparations, and diversity über alles. […] . . .this year’s class is once again a murderer’s row of “elite” college graduates whose chief interests are almost wholly aligned with the chosen values of the moment in the Globalist American Empire. And improbably enough, 2021’s Rhodes Scholars may be an even bigger indictment of the supposed elite that appoints them. Rhodes’ will also asked that scholarship recipients be chosen based on “moral force of character and of instincts to lead.” For the Rhodes Trust of 2021, though, “leadership” is displayed solely through rigid adherence to the most up-to-date pages of the progressive catechism. From the Rhodes Trust: . . .

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS DEMOCRAT PARTY’S MEDIA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Smythe: CONFLICT: Reuters Chairman is Pfizer Investor and Board Member.
The chairman and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Reuters news agency – James C. Smith – is a top investor and board member for pharmaceuticals giant Pfizer.  He was elected to the board in 2014, as well as joining Pfizer’s Corporate Governance and Science and Technology Committees. The news raises serious conflict of interest concerns as corporate media outlets such as Reuters continue to promote Pfizer products, defend pharmaceuticals companies from criticism, and move to silence skeptics. Smith is currently the Chairman of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the London-based charity known for providing news and information to billions of readers. He was also the President, Chief Executive Officer, and on the Board of Director of Reuters from 2012 until his retirement in 2020.

SCIENCE

Ali: Scientists say they might have discovered the cause of Alzheimer’s
Researchers in California focused on studying a protein called tau and how it’s linked to brain buildup, a key indicator doctors look for when diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists in California tried to study Alzheimer’s disease from a different perspective and the results may have led them to the cause of the disease. Researchers at the University of California- Riverside (UCR) recently published results from a study that looked at a protein called tau. By studying the different forms tau proteins take, researchers discovered the difference between people who developed dementia and those who didn’t. The tau protein was critical for researchers because they wanted to understand what the protein could reveal about the mechanism behind plaques and tangles, two critical indicators doctors look for when diagnosing people with Alzheimer’s. By analyzing donated brain samples, researchers found that those with brain buildup, like plaques and tangles, but had no dementia had a normal form of tau. However, those who had a “different-handed” form of tau and developed plaques or tangles did have dementia.
