NOTABLE QUOTES
Julie Kelly contributor to American Greatness: Who successfully sought a “revolution” in Washington—a bunch of random dudes in Michigan or the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world?
Meredith McGraw reporter for Politico: “Our voters need to vote early. There were many in 2020 saying, don’t vote by mail, don’t vote early, and we have to stop that, and understand that if Democrats are getting ballots in for a month, we can’t expect to get it all done in one day,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel warned on Fox News.
Ned Ryun and Erik Root contributors to American Greatness: If Republicans aim to protect their voters, they must secure the ballots of their voters. In order to preserve the consent of the governed they must protect their voters from disenfranchisement.
Sundance founder of The Last Refuge: The Biden administration gets a popular transvestite hero of the LGBTQ+ community, while Vladimir Putin gets a Russian born global arms dealer nicknamed “the merchant of death.” All things considered, the exchange priorities sound about right.
Ben Kew contributor to Human Events: What makes this move despicable is the blatantly cynical nature of the Biden administration’s priorities. When given the choice between a former Marine accused of espionage (an activity widely sponsored by the U.S. government) and a renowned female sportswoman who aligned herself with Black Lives Matter, their decision was depressingly predictable.
Scott Johnson co-founder of Powerline: The trade of WNBA star Brittney Griner for Russian “Merchant of Death” Viktor Bout amounts to the best deal of its kind since President Obama traded Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban leaders held at Guantanamo.
Judi McLeod is the founder & owner of Canada Free Press: Advent 2022 comes as the perfect time for a stumbling humanity to come out of the darkness and into the light. The flickering flames of the three purple and one pink candle of Advent Wreaths in millions of churches and homes are ever so quietly but strongly showing the way to the Truth and the Light. Fear not the grotesque ugly dark shadows now clearly visible on the way to the Light. Recognize them for what they are, and keep walking resolutely past them as steadfastly as the donkey that carried God’s chosen Mother to her cousin Elizabeth.
GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET) & TRANSHUMANISM (HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED
Powell: The Parallel Universe of the CCP and the World Economic Forum
For decades Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) has been recruiting and cultivating corporate and political leaders from all over the world to embrace a vision and plan for a complete social, political, and economic transformation—a “Great Reset”—which is nothing short of a communist “New World Order.” This plan calls for the end of sovereign states; the end of private property and the remaking of the economy based on environmental, social, and governance rankings; the replacement of oil and gas with so-called green and sustainable sources of energy; the transformation of agricultural production; the replacement of traditional money with social credit score-linked digital currency; and the requirement of universal health passports—to name some of the key WEF objectives. […] For Schwab, China is the model . . .[…] The CCP has now accomplished: . . . Read more: https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-parallel-universe-of-the-ccp-and-the-world-economic-forum/
THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE
Whedon: DOJ seeks contempt of court charges against Trump for not complying with subpoena: report
A grand jury issued the subpoena earlier this year and Trump voluntarily cooperated with FBI agents who came to his Mar-a-Lago estate in June seeking to enforce it. Agents returned in force on August 8 and raided the compound to recover additional materials. Trump has since conducted his own searches of his facilities for additional documents to ensure compliance, discovering two additional documents marked classified in a Florida storage unit, which they then handed over to the FBI. While the former president’s legal team has asserted that he is now in compliance with the subpoena, the DOJ disagrees and asked DC District Chief Judge Beryl Howell to hold him in contempt, per CNN.

Kelly: The Fake, and Real, Domestic Terrorists
To hear the government tell it, a homeless guy who lived in the dilapidated basement of a vacuum repair shop with no running water is as much a danger to society as was Timothy McVeigh and the Tsarnaev brothers.
Adam Fox, according to the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Michigan, should spend the rest of his life in prison for conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020. After a jury could not reach a verdict in Fox’s case last April, the Department of Justice retried Fox and his remaining co-defendant Barry Croft, Jr. in August; both men were found guilty the second time around. In what must be one of the most dishonest motions filed by the government perhaps in recent history— Read more:https://amgreatness.com/2022/12/08/the-fake-and-real-domestic-terrorists/
THE TWITTER FILES
Emmons: BREAKING: Twitter Files part two released, exposing ‘secret blacklists’
With the simple tweet “Start your engines…” Matt Taibbi announced the second dump of Twitter files, which were then tweeted out by Bari Weiss. “Thread: The Twitter Files Part Two,” Weiss tweeted. “Twitter’s secret blacklists.” Many users have long speculated that Twitter employees held secret blacklists and would shadow ban and suppress content from those accounts they deemed unpalateable.

GOP
Ryun & Root: Fortify or Die
There are two essential things MAGA Republicans must accomplish to secure victory: 1) protect their voters and 2) bank their votes in order to achieve the first. Instead of theorizing about what we hope to achieve (Election Day only voting with paper ballots), we must embrace reality and realpolitik: the laws in place right now will almost assuredly be the laws in 2024. We can theorize all day about what is best in principle, but there are only two things that will count in 2024: how many ballots did Republicans send out, and how many did they collect? And, of course, was it more than the Democrats harvested? The rest is sound and fury, signifying nothing. Read more: https://amgreatness.com/2022/12/08/fortify-or-die/

Allen: Biden Grants Historic Federal Bailout to Union Pension Fund Struggling in His Economy
President Joe Biden announced Thursday he’s bailing out a struggling union pension fund with $36 billion of taxpayer money, the largest federal bailout of a pension fund ever. The Central States Pension Fund, which provides benefits to Teamsters union members in the trucking, warehouse, and construction industries, was projected to run out of money by 2025 due to rising inflation, weak stock markets, and a lack of active workers participating in the fund, the Washington Times reported. Biden plans to save the fund from insolvency by using money from his $1.9 trillion dollar American Rescue plan, which even Democrat lawmakers admit caused the country’s record high inflation.

Greenfield: Top Biden National Security Official Served On Pro-Terror Group
Our national security is being dismantled from the inside. When Jose Padilla, a Muslim terror convert was arrested, Human Rights First became his loudest defenders. The leftist group, originally founded under the auspices of France’s Human Rights League, which historically included many Communists including Ho Chi Minh, was one of the most extreme voices against our effort to fight the Islamic terrorists murdering us. […] The Biden administration rewarded HRF with two high-profile roles for members of its board of directors. Secretary of State Blinken, who had been the vice chair of HRF’s board of directors, was put in charge of our overall foreign policy, and Matthew G. Olsen was nominated to serve as the Assistant Attorney General for National Security for the Justice Department.

The Center Square Staff: Biden administration announces new greenhouse gas standards for federal buildings by 2030
The White House said it plans “to cut energy use and electrify equipment and appliances in 30 percent of the building space owned by the Federal government by 2030.” The Department of Energy simultaneously released a new Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for public comment on a coming rule: “Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings.” U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said the rule would create “a firm timetable to reduce the government’s carbon footprint in new and existing federal facilities.” The DOE claimed in its announcement that the updates would save taxpayers $8 million per year in energy costs.

Sims: Hundreds of ‘Derogatory Names’ to Be Removed From U.S. Federal Lands — and That’s Only the Beginning
The oft-misquoted and misattributed 20th-century American philosopher and writer George Santayana once warned, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” And while Santayana had the follies of war in mind when he said it, the phrase could just as easily apply today to the Left’s destruction of American history in the name of “diversity” and “inclusion.” As I wrote last week here at PJ Media, our woke U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, is hellbent on expunging hundreds of existing “offensive” and “derogatory” geographic names on federal locations that aren’t deemed “diverse” enough — an expungement that frankly seems less like “inclusivity” and more like retribution. As a “proud member [of the] Pueblo of Laguna,” complete with “she/her” virtue-signaling pronouns in her bio, Haaland “is the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary.” Read more: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/gwendolynsims/2022/12/08/hundreds-of-derogatory-names-to-be-removed-from-u-s-federal-lands-and-thats-only-the-beginning-n1649826
Solomon: Bar fight and DUI car crash: Conduct of Democrat-picked congressional ethics chief gains scrutiny
Omar Ashmawy, the chief of the Congressional Ethics Office, has returned to duty just weeks after crashing his car into a Pennsylvania home in September and being charged with driving under the influence, but Republicans about to take control of the House in January are raising fresh concerns about his past conduct and his performance in the sensitive job. The senior Republicans on the House Administration, Ethics, and Rules Committees have been briefed on the September 2022 DUI incident as well as a 2015 bar fight during which Ashmawy was injured but was later found to have improperly used his congressional position to pressure police to file criminal charges against his antagonists, according to internal correspondence and memos obtained by Just the News.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CHILD MUTILATION, CHILD SACRIFICE, CHILD SEXUALIZATION
Duke: Seared Souls: How We Abuse Our Children
I must confess that with the way many of my fellow adults behave today, it can make me ashamed to be one. I almost sometimes feel as if I want to apologize to the children for the example the contemporary grown-up world now sets. We often lament, and rightly so, how disrespectful many modern youths are, yet a prerequisite for commanding respect is being respectable. There is little respectable about modern American culture.
Whether or not communist activist Willi Münzenberg (1889-1940) actually said: “We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks,” he might as well have. It’s not just that adults now show children indecent images in sex education’s name, rubber stamp elementary school Satan clubs in deference to “religious freedom” and tell kids they can switch sexes just by willing it. It’s also what the “good” people fighting these abominations often do. Read more at American Thinker. : https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/12/seared_souls_how_we_abuse_our_children.html

BIDEN’S COVID VACCINE MANDATES
FDA greenlights bivalent vaccines for children as young as 6 months old
“Parents and caregivers can be assured that the FDA has taken a great deal of care in our review, and we encourage parents of children of any age who are eligible for primary vaccination or a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine booster dose to consider seeking vaccination now as it can potentially help protect them from COVID-19 during a time when cases are increasing,” top FDA vaccine regulator Peter Marks said in a statement.
The agency’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was slated to meet Friday, however the meeting — which did not have an agenda disclosed — has been postponed, according to the committee’s website. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is expected to endorse the FDA emergency use authorization. Read more: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/08/fda-greenlights-bivalent-vaccines-for-children-00073006

BIDEN LEAVES U.S. MARINE BEHIND
That’s Unfortunate – NBC Reported White House Had to Choose Between Brittany Griner or Paul Whelan, Biden Chose Griner – Then NBC Changed Report
According to an original article from NBC, the negotiations for the prisoner swap included an exchange for either LGBTQ+ hero Brittany Griner or U.S. former marine Paul Whelan. The Russians would swap either U.S. citizen for the return of arms dealer Viktor Bout; however, the White House would have to decide which American they wanted in return. The White House decided there was greater benefit to getting LGBTQ+ hero Brittany Griner returned, and left Paul Whelan in a Russian prison.

Former US Marine Paul Whelan has spoken out from Russian prison after four years behind bars, slamming the Biden administration for failing to secure his release in the prisoner swap that freed WNBA star Brittney Griner. Whelan said he was being held as a ‘hostage’ of Russia, and pleaded for the White House to ‘do everything they could to get me home’ as he faces another 12 years in a Russian penal colony on spying charges he says are bogus.

Saavedra: Top Democrat Senator Blasts Biden Over Releasing Terrorist For Griner: ‘Deeply Disturbing Decision’
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, slammed President Joe Biden Thursday for releasing notorious terrorist Viktor Bout in exchange for Brittney Griner. Griner, who has a criminal record in the U.S. stemming from a domestic violence incident several years ago, was arrested in Russia back in February on drug charges, charges to which she pled guilty. In exchange for Griner, Biden released Bout, a Russian weapons trafficker who was convicted on terrorism charges back in 2011 for trying to sell tens of millions of dollars worth of missiles to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) for the purpose of shooting down U.S. Military helicopters.

This segment begins with video of immigrants being ushered into a Catholic Charities building in McAllen, Texas, just across the street from the bus station that ships immigrants across the country. “This is human trafficking, and it’s being brought to you by Joe Biden and the open borders left.” Watch the 6 minute interview: https://warroom.org/2022/12/08/the-catholic-church-and-federal-government-are-working-together-to-perpetuate-the-southern-border-migrant-trafficking-network-ben-bergquam-reports/
OLD GLORY BANK
Brown: Country Singer John Rich Is Starting a Bank
With the leprosy of wokeism, coupled with the venereal disease known as ESG, many normal Americans may have good reason not to trust their banks anymore. They do not know how their money may be invested on the bank’s end and are concerned that at some point, access to their cash or credit cards could be frozen for what the powers that be deem bad behavior. And it isn’t as if there is not a precedent for such a thing. You may recall that in true dictatorial fashion, the Trudeau regime in Canada froze the assets of those participating in the trucker’s strike. And as Just the News reports, PayPal recently tried to dock users $2,500 for spreading unapproved messages. Sorry, I meant disinformation. […] Country music singer John Rich of Big and Rich fame is starting a bank. It is called Old Glory Bank, and you can get started at the website.

Reckitt, which makes Enfamil, thinks the baby formula shortage will continue to spring 2023.The shortage began earlier this year when an Abbott Nutrition plant shut down in Michigan “due to reports of infants being hospitalized after consuming products from the facility.” President Joe Biden’s administration tried to help with “Operation Fly Formula.” But the government hasn’t made any shipments since September.

Chastain: AZ Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Leaving Democrat Party, Registers as Independent
“I’ve registered as an Arizona independent. I know some people might be a little bit surprised by this, but actually, I think it makes a lot of sense,” Sinema said in a Thursday interview with Tapper in her Senate office.
“I’ve never fit neatly into any party box. I’ve never really tried. I don’t want to,” she added. “Removing myself from the partisan structure – not only is it true to who I am and how I operate, I also think it’ll provide a place of belonging for many folks across the state and the country, who also are tired of the partisanship.” The Democrat Party won an outright Senate majority 51-49, but Sinema has not confirmed which party she will caucus with. Sinema promised not to change anything about herself except her registered party, so I doubt Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will throw a huge hissy fit:

Dixon: Rats, Rats, Democrats
Vermin of many varieties feed on the decaying corpse of American cities. New York City rats now have Covid-19. That’s the good news. In PCR tests conducted on nearly 80 Brooklyn rats, over 5 percent tested positive for the virus, according to a new study by University of Missouri and USDA scientists. The bad news? The infected rats are likely to make a full recovery. As we learned in the early weeks of the international Covid freakout, without diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and being over the age of 85, Covid-19 is seldom fatal. Antibodies were present in 16 percent of the rats tested, showing they managed to survive Covid, though no data was provided on whether they regained their sense of taste.[…] While we don’t know the exact Covid survival rate of rats, it was accomplished without lockdowns, masks, social distancing, or vaccines.

Contreras: Number of non-English speakers in U.S. soared since 1980
The number of people in the United States who speak a language other than English at home — mainly Spanish — has nearly tripled over the last 40 years, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Why it matters: Major shifts in immigration from Latin America and Asia have transformed the nation’s linguistic diversity and reshaped the United States. By the numbers: The report found that 67.8 million (almost 1 in 5) people spoke another language besides English. In 1980, that number was 23.1 million (about 1 in 10).
