Daily News Roundup

NOTABLE QUOTES

Tucker Carlson Fox News host: “It’s all pretty weird. Could it be that while the rest of us imagined that Twitter was a social media site … could it be that Twitter was actually, maybe primarily, a propaganda tool and intelligence gathering apparatus for a variety of intel agencies?”

Jack Gleason contributor to American Thinker: If we expect the RINOs to actively work to end election fraud, we are just plain stupid.  We must insist on new leadership for the RNC, support opposition to Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House, and hope that turtle McConnell is ousted as the Senate minority leader.  And do everything we can to support Kari Lake in her lawsuit to overturn the Arizona gubernatorial election.

Julie Kelly contributor to American Greatness: Elon Musk’s one-man crusade to expose the inner workings of the technology giant he now owns is admirable at a time when the level of courage needed to confront the massive beast of government, Silicon Valley, the Biden regime, and traditional media is frighteningly low. Courage, as Billy Graham once said, is contagious. Let’s hope House Republicans can catch a really potent case of it, and soon.

Sundance is The Last Refuge founder: As noted by Mitch McConnell, “Our ability to control the primary outcome was quite limited in 2022 because of the support of the former president. Hopefully in the next cycle, we’ll have quality candidates everywhere.  Unless and until the Republican Party can figure out how to get around the voting, installing the correct type of Republicans will always be problematic. The ability of the American people to vote is THE major hurdle for the Republican Senate leadership to overcome.

Edward Ring contributor to American Greatness: Compassion is not compassion when it is manipulated to fulfill a corporate socialist agenda of turning America’s cities into high-tech pens for human livestock and depopulating rural areas.

David Lewis Schaefer contributor to The American Mind: Promoting the sale and use of marijuana in poor and minority communities is just one more instance of misguided social policies in which public officials, ostensibly aiming to serve the public good, in fact threaten to do the greatest harm to those who can least afford to endure it. Our poor and minority communities stand in need of improved public schools (including more charter schools and expanded programs of vocational training), effective law enforcement, and opportunities to succeed in legitimate, pro-social occupations. They also need encouragement to marry before becoming parents; to work their hardest both on their jobs and as parents so as to benefit both themselves and their offspring; and to become sober, thoughtful, and public-spirited citizens—not people who aim to spend their lives in a drug-filled haze.

Bruce Thornton contributor to Frontpagemag.com: California governor Gavin Newsom has announced he plans to give $233,000 in reparations to each black Californian, at a cost of half a trillion dollars. This taxpayer-funded largess comes on the heels of California’s projected $25 billion budget deficit, with state revenue now 41% below expectations due in part to lost tax-revenues from rich residents––who pay half of state income taxes–– fleeing California’s 13.3%, the nation’s highest rate, on incomes over a million dollars.

Citizen Free Press: Elon Musk on the forever pandemic: “They just kept calling different viruses C19, because that got more funding than if not. That’s why I called it the “Virus of Theseus”: how many RNA changes are required before it’s *not* C19!?

Cooper York contributor to The American Mind: So what’s up with coal? U.S. energy policy is the height of hypocrisy; don’t use our resources here because of climate change, but it’s OK to support third world countries in the name of supporting the environment.

Dinesh D’Souza: I’m laughing heartily because the new @AOC  film on climate change “To the End” got rave reviews from the usual robotic left-wing claque but still generated a miserable $80 per theater. Over multiple days with multiple showings she sold around 8 tickets per theater. Major bomb!

G​LOBALISM (GREAT RESET) & TRANSHUMANISM (HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

Alexander: The ‘Great Reset’ Towers in Babel 

In Noah’s generation, the book of Genesis records that mankind had utterly corrupted God’s way. They were “filled with violence,” greatly wicked, with their thoughts and imaginations being “only evil continually.” God warned Noah of a flood that would destroy man and alter the Earth as it existed until that time. “Moved with fear,” Noah built an ark and warned his generation about “things not seen as yet” (Hebrews 11:7). They didn’t listen. […] Thanks to the tyrannical influence of Noah’s great-grandson, Nimrod, Josephus wrote that “multitudes” were “ill-instructed” into having contempt for God. Repeating a narrative that submission to God was cowardice, Nimrod used exaggerated fears of a catastrophic flood to harness his power and to build a tower “whose top may reach to heaven” (Gen. 11:4). […] Fast forward to 2022.  Despite the near-magical advance of human invention, the same rebel spirit that inspired the tower in the ancient city of Babel (eventually Babylon), thrives today. Unelected global elites, using fear and force, have big plans for the world. And, unless I missed it, submission to God is not in them.

CLIMATE EMERGENCY: A GLOBALIST MYTH

Burnett: High Costs Should Doom President Biden’s Grandiose Offshore Wind Ambitions 

As part of his plan to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, Biden has initiated efforts to build 30,000 megawatts of traditional offshore wind facilities (with structures attached to the ocean floor) in federal waters by 2030, and an additional 15,000 megawatts of floating industrial offshore wind by 2035. To reach those targets, the Biden administration is pushing to lease areas in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of Maine and off the coasts of New England, the Mid-Atlantic states, North Carolina, South Carolina, California, and Oregon. The problem is Biden’s green energy dream is a nightmare for consumers, who will get hit with much higher energy prices. Economics alone should have doomed offshore industrial wind facilities from ever being considered. Offshore wind is absolutely the most expensive source of electric power being considered anywhere, and it is far from reliable, as well.

Lanum: AOC climate change documentary earns only $80 per theater despite rave critic reviews 

The new film, “To the End,” was filmed over four years and follows four young women, Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright and political strategist Alexandra Rojas, as they attempt to pass sweeping climate change legislation in Congress. The film currently boasts an 88% “fresh” critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and does not yet have an audience score.[…] The documentary debuted on more than 120 screens over the weekend but garnered less than $10,000 dollars across all theaters, coming in 33rd place overall at the box office.

THE CORRUPT U.S. INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS

Turley: The Justice Department Faces Questions After Effectively Preventing Bankman-Fried from Testifying in Congress.

The arrest of Sam Bankman-Fried yesterday was sudden and unexpected in light of Bankman-Fried’s plan to testify before Congress. As a criminal defense attorney, my reaction to the arrest last night remains unchanged: this is the first time that I can recall where prosecutors moved aggressively to stop a defendant from making self-incriminating statements. His testimony would have been entirely admissible and likely devastating at trial.

Sundance: Incoming Republican House Foreign Affairs Chairman Calls Tucker Carlson an ‘Agent of Russia’ Based on DC Intel Briefing 

Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard had an interesting discussion on her podcast today [LINK] which included Carlson retelling the story of the NSA conducting surveillance on him during a prior attempt to gain an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. After recounting the NSA story, Tucker then went on to outline a conversation with representative Mike McCaul after the Texas republican and incoming Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee described Carlson as an agent of Russia.  When Carlson got into an argument with McCaul over the accusation, McCaul went on to tell Carlson his intelligence community briefers were the ones who provided the information.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: STEALING ELECTIONS

Gleason: Election-Fraud Corruption Is Deeper than Anyone Can Imagine 

Anyone who floats the idea that the Republican red wave disappeared because of poor GOP tactics, or inadequate candidates, is either stupid or part of this conspiracy.  In fact, it’s an excellent “RINO detector”!

Any “conservative” news organization that is not focusing 100 percent on the corruption that has been unearthed in Maricopa County is complicit. The left and their RINO allies, along with who-knows-how-many other corporate and foreign actors, have set up the most complicated electoral fraud system in history.  Every step of the voting process — from who is allowed to vote, how they vote, how the votes are tallied, to how the results are reported — is compromised.  They are so far into their corruption that being exposed is not an option.  They will do literally anything to avoid being caught. A good place to start is with the voter rolls. They are so rife with inaccuracies, . . . Read more at American Thinker.

ALL EYES ARE ON ARIZONA

(12/13/2022) Conradson: BREAKING: AZ Judge Sets Schedule For Kari Lake Lawsuit Against Maricopa County – Motion To Dismiss Due By Thursday – Tentative Trial Scheduled for Next Week 

Kari Lake appeared in court today for an Emergency Hearing in her lawsuit against Katie Hobbs and Maricopa County Elections officials, contesting the stolen Midterm Election in Arizona. […]  According to Save America attorney Christina Bobb, the County was given until Thursday to file a motion to dismiss, and Lake’s response is due on Saturday. The trial is set for next week. […]  Kari Lake attended the meeting today. Katie Hobbs was AWOL, just like during the election.

Carter & Beanz: Rich Baris: Maricopa Had A “Heat Map” of Expected Republican Voters 

Richard “The People’s Pundit” Baris recently shared an interesting picture during his podcast—Inside The Numbers (Episode 307)—and in his Locals.com community. The photograph was one he took while inside the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) soon after the recent Arizona midterm election. It showed a “Heat Map” reportedly hung on the wall inside the vote counting center titled: General Election 2020 In-Person Republican Vote Dot Density Election Day and Early Vote Sites | Metropolitan Maricopa, Arizona

[…] Baris noted he did not personally observe a comparable map showing expected turnout from Democrats, Independent, or 3rd party voters anywhere else in the facility—the blue shaded map partially pictured to the right were locations of early vote drop-off/vote drop boxes as he recalls. First and foremost, election officials would have no valid reason to need to track where voters would be expected to turnout by party. […]  That presumably means Maricopa election officials readily had access to the heat map while preparing and certifying the election equipment—before sending the units out to the various voting locations. It becomes even more problematic when you consider where the problems with the Ballot on Demand printers and tabulators actually occurred.

Schadenberg: California judge dismisses case seeking to expand state’s assisted suicide law 

‘Setting aside the assistance prohibition would cross the sharp line drawn by the California Legislature between assisted suicide and euthanasia.’ On December 7, U.S. District Judge in California Justice Vince Chhabria approved a motion to dismiss a court case by Dr. Lonny Shavelson (supported by the assisted suicide lobby group Compassion and Choices) to extend the California assisted suicide law (end-of-life options act) to include euthanasia. The case is called Shavelson v Bonta. […] Chhabria approved the motion to dismiss the case and stated that any further amendment to the case would be futile. Chhabria wrote: . . .

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY

Wilkerson: When Did Congress Vote To Go To War With Russia? 

With each passing day, week, and month, the United States is being drawn closer to direct military conflict with Russia. We’re already engaged in a proxy war, and we are now tempting the dogs of war to slip off the leash well beyond our ability to control them. This is both extremely dangerous and foolish. And it’s being done without the full knowledge and support of the American people. As a refresher, here are a few examples of just how far we’ve gone. […]  While we still have a chance to pull back from the abyss, it’s worth recalling another doctrine, this one articulated by Ronald Reagan’s secretary of defense, Caspar Weinberger. What came to be known as the Weinberger Doctrine had six core principles: 1) The United States should not commit forces to combat overseas unless the particular engagement or occasion is deemed vital to our national interest, or that of our allies. 2) If we decide it is necessary to put combat troops overseas, we should do so wholeheartedly and with the clear intention of winning. 3) . . .  Read more: https://amgreatness.com/2022/12/13/when-did-congress-vote-to-go-to-war-with-russia/

Star & Liebermann: Exclusive: US finalizing plans to send Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine 

The Pentagon’s plan still needs to be approved by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin before it is sent to President Joe Biden for his signature. The three officials told CNN that approval is expected.

Ukraine has been calling for the US to send the advanced long-range air defense system that is highly effective at intercepting ballistic and cruise missiles as it comes under a barrage of Russian missile and drone attacks that have destroyed key infrastructure across the country. It would be the most effective long-range defensive weapons system sent to the country and officials say it will help secure airspace for NATO nations in eastern Europe.

York: Stocking Coal 

In 12 short years, the U.S. will hit the Biden Administration’s deadline for a fossil fuel-free power grid . . .But what about coal? Experts tell us it’s dirty, unhealthy, and “bad” for the planet. In the power industry, the recent SCOTUS ruling against the EPA’s overreach into mining has thrust coal back into the spotlight as a fuel source. There are approximately 229 coal-fired power plants in the U.S. (in contrast, there are nearly 3,000 oil/natural gas plants). China has 1300+ coal-fired power plants (85 percent of their total generation, compared with 23 percent in the U.S.). They are building new coal plants (of questionable safety and design) alongside their efforts to increase nuclear power. India has 290+ and is building 74 new coal plants. Shiploads of American-mined coal are heading overseas every month. Powering an industrial machine with very little, if any, regard for safety or for the environment. The administration’s response (or lack thereof) to the massive pollution of foreign power plants leads to a couple of questions: . . .  Read more: https://americanmind.org/features/saving-the-environment-from-environmentalists/stocking-coal/

Ring: The Wasteland of Leftist Compassion 

Compassion is one of the greatest of human virtues. But effective compassion comes with an obligation to do more than what merely feels and sounds good. Public policies motivated by compassion must also consider the full complexity of the challenge—the unintended consequences and the reality of human nature—and strike a balance between what is desired and what is possible. Often the most beneficial expressions of compassion appear harsh and punitive, yet in offering more lasting and comprehensive solutions, do more to alleviate human suffering. Without taking a balanced and holistic approach to compassion, special interests hijack public policy and reap perpetual profits working on problems that never go away. For them, ineffective compassion is good business. But it leaves behind a wasteland. If envy and resentment are the currency of the Left—driving, as it does, their attacks on privilege and their demands for equity—then compassion is the gold that backs their currency.

[…] While the appearance that rats are being sold at a New York City store and being openly cooked may be quite jarring, the creatures are actually guinea pigs, which when prepared properly are a Peruvian cultural delicacy known as “cuy.” […] Rats, or guinea pigs, are certainly not part of American cuisine, however as more illegal immigrants continue to pour across the open border, this type of rodent-cooking may become more commonplace.

Real leftism, real terror.[…] . . . violent radicals who took part in the 1960s Revolution that Never Was, people like Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Angela Davis, Tom Hayden, Jerry Rubin, and Abbie Hoffman — serious radicals who mapped out plans to overthrow the U.S. Government; who stashed guns for the “big overthrow”; and who blew up buildings and even the U.S. Capitol to kickstart a second American Revolution. Radicals like Susan Rosenberg, who in the late 70s to mid-80s was active in the far left revolutionary group “MI9CO,” an all-female terrorist group that openly advocated the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and violence. Rosenberg’s group lent its support to the Black Liberation Army in frequent armored truck robberies and random bombings of government buildings, including the 1983 bombing of the Capitol building. That bombing occurred on the second floor of the Capitol’s north wing. Read more: https://www.frontpagemag.com/susan-rosenberg-reflections-on-a-real-insurrectionist/

Joni Ernst is “very excited” about a potential Tim Scott presidential run. John Cornyn would “advise him to go for it.” And John Barrasso said it “doesn’t get any better than Tim Scott.” Even Sen. Lindsey Graham, who spent much of Donald Trump’s presidency sticking to his side, said he’s intrigued by the possibility of a Scott presidential bid in 2024 and wants to see “what Tim does” before he makes any endorsements. […]  And that’s not counting other prospective candidates such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley — who appointed Scott to the Senate in 2013 — and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Though it’ll be months before more candidates start showing their cards, Scott’s colleagues still think he has a shot.

Her scholarship also argues that children should have more say in healthcare choices such as gender transitions. Ideas from “Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation” stem from utopian socialist and sex radical Charles Fourier, communist family abolitionist Alexandra Kollontai, feminist Shulamith Firestone, and “queer marxists bringing family abolition to the twenty-first century” according to Verso Books. Lewis’ book suggests that “Nobody is more likely to harm you than your family.” Read more: https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20738

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON WOMEN

Kay:  Ignoring Biological Reality Puts Female Hockey Players at Risk 

On November 22nd, the NHL made headlines when it tweeted that “Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary identity is real.” Predictably, this declaration was widely praised by progressives and just as widely mocked by conservatives. And yet, amid all this culture-war sound and fury, there was little news to be had about the event that had precipitated the league’s controversial gender diktat in the first place: an NHL-supported and –sponsored “All-Trans Draft Tournament” held in Middleton, WI—reportedly the first tournament of its kind in the history of hockey.

Mondoro: Lawyers say court errors in Planned Parenthood organ harvesting case warrant new trial 

Lawyers representing the undercover investigators who exposed Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting scandal filed a petition last week to review the case, arguing the court made mistakes that provide grounds for a new trial. The petition was filed December 5 with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Planned Parenthood Federation of America v. Troy Newman, et al. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) argued in the brief that “rehearing is needed to secure and maintain uniformity of this Court’s decisions and to address questions of exceptional importance, that is, the proper application of RICO and the Fifth Amendment in a civil action.” ACLJ’s petition comes years after pro-life undercover journalist David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) and his partners faced felony charges for exposing Planned Parenthood’s actions of harvesting baby body parts after abortions. The petition calls for a new trial on the grounds of interpretation and implementation errors regarding the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and the Fifth Amendment.

Silverstein: Cambridge Dictionary changes definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’: ‘1984 wasn’t supposed to be a how-to manual’ 

The definition of woman, which previously represented the longstanding view on sex, now states that a woman is “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.” Similarly, a man is now defined as “an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth.” This change was met with pushback from many, who argued that redefining society’s categorization of gender and sex is harmful and inaccurate. […]  “Notice that the dictionary writers say ‘*they* may have been.’ They couldn’t bring themselves to write ‘she may have been,’ because they know they’re lying. That’s the tell,” he tweeted. Read more: https://www.foxnews.com/media/cambridge-dictionary-changes-definition-man-woman-1984-supposed-manual

Feiner: Lawmakers unveil bipartisan bill that aims to ban TikTok in the U.S. 

The new bill, introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc., and Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., would ban “all transactions from any social media company in, or under the influence of, China, Russia, and several other foreign countries of concern,” according to a press release. The ANTI-SOCIAL CCP ACT — which stands for Averting the National Threat of Internet Surveillance, Oppressive Censorship and Influence, and Algorithmic Learning by the Chinese Communist Party — explicitly names ByteDance and TikTok as subject to the restrictions in the bill, “unless and until the date on which the President certifies to Congress that the company no longer meets any of the conditions described,” such as being subject to “substantial influence” by a country of concern.

Chasmar: WA Gov. Inslee’s equity summit tells state agencies ‘objectivity,’ ‘individualism’ rooted in ‘White supremacy’ 

Democratic Washington Gov. Jay Inslee held a recent equity summit that included a governor-appointed state education agency telling other state agencies that concepts like “objectivity” and “individualism” are rooted in “White supremacy culture” and should be rejected in favor of “indigenous relational pedagogy.”

During Inslee’s “2022 Governor’s Equity Summit” in Tacoma on Nov. 30, the interim executive director of the state’s Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB), which consists of 12 governor-appointed members dedicated to advancing “educational justice,” gave a PowerPoint presentation titled “Internal Transformation: How an Education Agency is Transforming Itself in the Name of Justice.” Read more: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wa-gov-inslees-equity-summit-tells-state-agencies-objectivity-individualism-rooted-white-supremacy

Bonchie: John Fetterman Named a ‘Most Stylish’ Person of 2022 by The New York Times 

John Fetterman might as well not exist. Since winning Pennsylvania’s US Senate election over Mehmet Oz, Fetterman has made one appearance on Capitol Hill for orientation in which his wife walked around and told reporters not to ask him questions. There’s no doubt his health is still ailing, and there’s no reason to believe he’ll be capable of fulfilling the normal duties of his office come January. What’s done is done, though, and for better or worse, Fetterman will now represent Pennsylvanians in the senate for the next six years, assuming he doesn’t have to resign at some point during his term. Yet, even in victory, the gaslighting hasn’t stopped, and that brings me to one of the most incredible things I’ve seen in the past year. According to The New York Times, Fetterman, who infamously looks like he rummaged through the dumpster behind a Goodwill, is one of the world’s 93 “most stylish” people. No, I’m not kidding.

Stevenson: Christ is transgender, dean claims 

Worshippers at a Trinity College at Cambridge sermon were “in tears” and one shouted that this was “heresy” after the dean backed a student’s claim that Christ had a “trans body,” as reported by the Telegraph. The sermon was offered by Joshua Heath, who is working on a PhD in theology. Heath reportedly said that Christ takes on a transgender body in historical artwork, appearing both masculine and feminine in different paintings. Read more: https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=20708

(Socialized health care) Murdoch: Canadian woman cites lack of healthcare access as reason she applied for assisted suicide 

Another Canadian woman with a non-terminal illness is drawing headlines after applying for euthanasia thanks to Canada’s increasingly liberalized laws which pro-life advocates have warned are out of control. According to the Western Standard, Jolene Van Alstine of Saskatchewan has applied for medical assistance in dying (MAiD), not because she is terminally ill, but rather because she says she cannot get the proper surgery and healthcare treatments she needs.

Abelson: Communists Trying to Steal Election in Brazil Are Now Calling for the Arrest of First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro for Serving Meals to Protestors 

The crazy Communist called serving meals to supporters “political support for undemocratic acts” and “material support” that indicates “the authoritarians are supported by the current inhabitants of the Palace themselves.” […] President Jair Bolsonaro said in a written statement Tuesday that “Brazil always has faith in the impeccable performance of its Armed Forces in defense of our homeland and of the freedom of the Brazilian people”.

Ibrahim: ‘Kiss My Foot, O Lowly Infidel!’ 

Yet another Jew is compelled to kiss Muslim feet. […]  Nor is this despicable phenomenon limited to the Middle East.  According to a 2109 report from Australia: . . . […] Some might argue that Muslim “grievances,” in the above cases, the Arab-Israeli conflict, is the driving force behind Muslims trying to degrade and humiliate Jews.  In reality, however, this form of abject “obeisance” was always expected of non-Muslims, for no more of a “grievance” than that they were non-Muslims—infidels. […]  In both the recent incident in Israel, and the 2019 one from Australia, authorities would not even admit that an ideological factor—Islamic supremacism—might have motivated those Muslims who forced Jews to kiss their feet. The disconnect is evident in another, especially ignoble manner: . . .  Read more:  https://www.frontpagemag.com/kiss-my-foot-o-lowly-infidel/
