Given the wind seen, I had a bad feeling about it.

Within an hour or two, a flood of tweet videos followed, showing a full blown inferno, with stories about cars jammed in gridlock, and people abandoning their cars to flee on foot. Writer Naomi Wolf, who might have been one of them, or who may have been in a similar incident earlier (I couldn't tell from her tweet), said they fled because they literally couldn't breathe.

Is it true that 'The View' suggested Jill Biden for surgeon general?

 “So you have two choices,” she continued. “You have my husband, Joe, who you all know who has integrity, he’s strong, he’s steady, he’s a leader, he’s smart, he’s energetic, or you have chaos.”  Jill Biden on 'The View,'

On 'The View,' Jill Biden Addresses Critics of Joe Biden's Age: 'This Election Is About Character' (VIDEO)    "First lady Jill Biden joined the hosts of The View today to champion her husband’s achievements in the White House (and draw a strong contrast between him and his opponent, who at least two cohosts refuse to name these days)." . . .

Tulsi Gabbard: I know who’s really running the White House — and it’s not Joe Biden - nj.com  . . ."President Joe Biden may have a seat in the Oval Office, but he’s not running the show according to former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.

"Gabbard sat down for a recent interview with Tucker Carlson to explain:

"Gabbard: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are not in office right now, but they still continue to wield immense power in influencing the decisions that are being made.Carlson: Who is running the government? At at this point, it’s obviously not Joe Biden. You think Hillary?

"Gabbard: It’s not a leap of imagination to know that that’s true. When you look at the people who are in Joe Biden’s administration, they are the people who were the right hands for the Obama administration, for President Obama and for Hillary Clinton.

"Hillary Clinton said herself the other day, she said, ‘Oh, yeah, I talked to the White House every day.’ So it’s no shock or surprise who the influences are behind the policies that are coming out of this White House that many people say is the most radical and woke White House that our country has ever seen." . . .

Why Is Jill Running the First Biden Cabinet Meeting in Nearly a Year? – PJ Media

. . . "It’s one thing for a First Lady to use her platform to champion personal causes. Michelle Obama focused on child nutrition, Laura Bush prioritized child literacy, and Hillary Clinton pushed healthcare reform. But leading a cabinet meeting as if she holds actual governmental power is a different story. It doesn’t matter what Jill Biden was there to comment on — what matters is that she was there at all. 

"She’s neither an elected nor appointed official. No one voted for her, and she has no political power, which makes her input on policy completely symbolic and essentially an extension of her husband. But when she shows up to a cabinet meeting, it sends the message that she is the one in charge and that her husband is an extension of her." . . .

While it may be true that past first ladies have participated in Cabinet meetings, the optics of Jill Biden at this meeting at the head of the table, looking and acting like she's running the show, are horrible. I'm sure Biden's handlers in the White House knew that.

Fact Check: Did 'The View' advocate for Jill Biden to become surgeon general? - MEAWW News   . . ."In 2020, Whoopi Goldberg remarked on 'The View' that the future first lady might assume the role of surgeon general if Joe Biden were elected president, referring to her as a "hell of a doctor."

"I'm hoping Dr Jill becomes the surgeon general, his wife," Goldberg said. "Joe Biden's wife. She would never do it, but yeah, she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor." . . .

In which way? I would ask. TD

Where did all the fascism talk go?

 Byron York 

. . ."Scarborough and Brzezinski traveled to Mar-a-Lago for an audience with Trump. Afterward, they said they wanted to "restart communications" with the incoming president, as if he were a normal political leader and not the fascist they said he was."    And maybe Biden was a bit less than "cogent"

"On Monday, the journalist Glenn Greenwald asked on X, "Is there a single person in DC or media acting as if Literal Adolf Hitler is about to assume power in 2 weeks in order to end American democracy, install fascism, and create a white supremacist dictatorship? Is it possible those who said this for years never believed it?"

"You can answer that for yourself. But the fact is, the Donald Trump transition is turning out to be quite … normal. The president-elect is busy hammering out policy proposals and staffing his administration. Democrats are, of course, criticizing Trump and promising to give some of his nominees a hard time in confirmation hearings. But that is the sort of thing one always sees in transitions from one party to the other. What is absent is the kind of ugly, fevered, frenzied, over-the-top rhetoric about Trump that characterized the campaign.

"Remember? Vice President Kamala Harris called Trump a fascist) (From 'joyful' to 'fascist' - Why Kamala Harris adopted Biden's playbook on blasting Trump. The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called Trump a fascist. Media talkers such as Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski called Trump a fascist. Journalists and academics called Trump a fascist. (Sample headlines from the New Yorker: "What Does It Mean that Donald Trump Is a Fascist?" and the Atlantic: "Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.") For a while, it seemed like everyone on the Left with a podcast, TV show, or X account called Trump a fascist.

"Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden became the focus of nearly nonstop discussion about fascism and Nazism. In the run-up to the event, it was entirely commonplace for media commentators to compare the rally to the infamous Nazi rally held at the Garden in 1939. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate Trump defeated in 2016, told CNN that Trump would be "actually reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939."

"The fascist talk got so crazy that ABC News conducted a poll asking voters whether the 2024 candidates were fascists. The result was that 44% of registered voters said Trump was a fascist, 18% said Harris was a fascist, and 5% said both were fascists. Only 32% of those surveyed gave the obviously correct answer, which was that neither was a fascist.

"In retrospect, perhaps that was the moment — the poll was released on Oct. 25 — when the fascist talk jumped the shark. If a large majority of voters called the major-party candidates fascists, and a combined 67% said Trump, Harris, or both were fascists — then the concept of fascism had lost any meaning. It was just talk." . . .

"• Washington, D.C., was coated in beautiful snow after the season's first winter storm Monday, which happened to be January 6th. Hundreds of happy kids paired off for a huge snowball fight on the National Mall. We'll never know how many FBI agents were planted on both sides of the snowball fight."

"• The Carter Center in Atlanta held a two-day memorial for Carter's presidency. People attending Carter memorial had to line up the first day by even-number license plates and the second day by odd-number plates. On the drive up to Washington, D.C., Carter's hearse was ticketed for going 70 mph in a 55.

• Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he will step down from office and resigned as leader of the Liberal Party on Monday in the face of sinking polls and mounting calls for him to resign. Trudeau became prime minister ten years ago. At the time, he was the only black guy in Canada.

• Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a report urging a warning label be placed on all alcoholic beverages. His reasons included a study showing that every beer that a man drinks over five a week subtracts nine minutes from a man's life. Thus, according to my calculations, I died September 3rd, 1846.

• The New York Post reported a survey which showed that most people give up on their New Year's resolutions in ten days. I didn't make one until I saw an impressive vehicle demonstration in Las Vegas. In 2025, I'm getting a Tesla Cybertruck to protect the public in case one of my jokes bombs.

• Politico reported the terror attack in New Orleans on New Year's Eve raised the nation's alarm level over ISIS activity in the U.S. Last weekend I received an invitation to a party along with instructions to Dress to Kill. Apparently a turban, a beard, and a backpack is not what they had in mind.

• Allstate CEO Tom Wilson faced angry backlash for posting a video after the New Orleans attack saying if we act nicer that terrorists won't attack us. People are outraged at Wilson for appeasing ISIS. What is it about insurance company CEOs that makes everybody want to shoot them in the back?

• Panama's president slammed Trump's bid to retrieve the Panama Canal. He misses how Anglo-Saxons think. We stole North America, Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa, so taking back a canal that we built in the first place is no worse to us than O.J. stealing back his own merchandise.

• Donald Trump sided with Elon Musk and came out in favor of the H1B immigration status for hundreds of thousands of high-tech jobs for qualified foreign workers in the U.S. The program is opposed by the GOP's anti-immigration wing. Elon loves H1B so much he named one of his kids after it.

Sitcoms That Knew When It Was Time To Quit (And The Ones That Didn’t) |

Newhart Stuck The Landing; Cracked.com   

 "The absolute mountaintop of sitcom finales was that of Newhart, the second hit sitcom starring TV Legend Bob Newhart, who, sadly, may only be known to millennials and zoomers as Buddy’s adopted father in Elf.

Bob’s first starring role in a sitcom was in The Bob Newhart Show, which ran for six seasons in the 1970’s. Bob played, well, Bob, a Chicago psychologist married to the sarcastic Emily, played by Suzanne Pleshette. Just four years after the finale of The Bob Newhart Show, Bob Newhart debuted a new sitcom on CBS called Newhart, starring Bob Newhart as Bob Newhart (actually his character was named Dick Loudon, but I wasn’t quite tired of typing Bob Newhart. Newhart Newhart Newhart Newhart Newhart).

Bob Newhart’s new series Newhart ran for eight seasons, with Newhart playing a rural Vermont innkeeper running the 200 year old Stratford Inn with his wife Joanna, played by Mary Frann. 

"The show enjoyed a little more recognition than its predecessor, including 25 Emmy nominations, and its first six seasons finished in the Nielsen top 25. Starting in its sixth season, however, its popularity started to dwindle, and Newhart saw its largest dropoff in ratings between seasons six and seven.

"While the network was happy to keep Newhart running despite its decline, Bob had other ideas. He felt that the show had run its course and that it was time for him to move onto other projects. So, it was decided that season eight would be Newhart’s last. After 23 episodes of middling ratings, Season Eight, Episode 24 of Newhart titled “The Last Newhart” aired on May 21, 1990 and made television history.

" 'In the episode, all the inhabitants of the small unnamed Vermont town with the exception of Dick and Joanna sell their land to a Japanese businessman who intends to turn it into a gigantic golf course. 

"Cut to five years later, the now-rich former denizens return for a reunion, and as chaos begins to erupt, Dick is struck by an errant golf ball and passes out, only for Bob Newhart to awaken in bed next to his first TV wife Suzanne Pleshette. He describes the events of Newhart as if they were all a dream, and his wife tells him “no more Japanese food before bed” as she turns off the light and they go back to sleep.

"Brilliant."

The Trump Sentencing: Curtain to Fall on Merchan’s Hamlet on the Hudson

Jonathan Turley

"At 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 10, 2025, the curtain will fall on the longest performance of “Hamlet” in history. Acting Justice Juan Merchan will finally decide whether “to be or not to be” the judge to sentence Trump to jail. (Spoiler alert: He appears set to avoid a jail sentence and likely reversal.)"

Broc Smith

"Since Trump’s conviction in May 2024, Merchan has contemplated his sentencing options. This was to be the orange-jump-suit moment many longed for over years of unrequited lawfare. They will likely be disappointed. As some of us noted after the verdict, this type of case would often result in an unconditional discharge or a sentence without jail time. That prediction became more likely after Trump was reelected in November. Limits on Trump’s freedom or liberty would likely result in a fast reversal, and Merchan knew it.

"While various pundits predicted that Trump “will go to jail” after the trial, more realistic lawfare warriors had other ideas. The next best thing was to suspend proceedings and leave Trump in a type of legal suspended animation. Merchan would hold a leash on the president as a criminal defendant awaiting punishment.

"But the whole point of a trophy-kill case is the trophy itself. Merchan will not disappoint. While indicating that he is inclined to a sentence without jail or probation, he will finalize the conviction of Trump just 10 days before his inauguration. In so doing, he will formally label the president-elect a convicted felon.

"It will be punishment by soundbite. Trump will become the first convicted felon to be sworn into office, a historical footnote that will be repeated mantra-like in the media.

"Merchan seems at points to be writing the actual talking points for the talking heads. In his order, he states grandly that the jurors found that this “was the premediated and continuous deception by the leader of the free world.” He then adds that he could not vacate the conviction because it would … constitute a disproportionate result and cause immeasurable damage to the citizenry’s confidence in the Rule of Law.”

"Of course, this did not work out as many hoped. That apparently includes President Biden. Last week, the Washington Post reported that Biden was irate over the Justice Department’s failure to prosecute Trump more quickly to secure a conviction before the election. He also reportedly regretted his appointment of Attorney General Merrick Garland as insufficiently aggressive in pursuing Trump. It appears Garland was not sufficiently Bragg-like for Biden’s lawfare tastes." . . .

"When the sentence is imposed on Jan. 10, it is likely to feel comically downsized given the effort. After years and millions spent in the various Trump cases, Trump will likely receive an unconditional discharge and sent along his way . . . to the White House." JT

Sunny Hostin Makes Disgusting, Offensive Comparison to January 6th, Then Gets Launched Into Orbit

Bonchie  

And here I thought defeating Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were good things for humanity. It's likewise just as nonsensical to compare January 6th to hundreds of years of slavery in America. 

  "With another January 6th upon us, it was just a matter of time before someone delivered the worst take of the day, and no one will be shocked to learn that it came out of Sunny Hostin's mouth. One of the co-hosts of "The View," ostensibly a journalist program under the ABC News brand, Hostin has repeatedly beclowned herself on national television over the years. It's gotten to the point where I could write multiple articles a week on her idiotic ramblings. I value mine and your sanity too much for that, though. 

"So what did Hostin say? While discussing January 6th, she called it "one of the worst moments in American history," which is an opinion, I suppose. Had she stopped there, there wouldn't really be much else to say. She didn't stop there, though. Instead, she claimed that the riot at the Capitol was comparable to the Holocaust, World War II, and Slavery. Now, some of you may point out that the Holocaust was not committed by Americans, but that's because you're expecting way too much out of Hostin." . . .  More...

JUST IN: Biden DOJ to Bring Charges in 200 More January 6 Cases at the Last Minute to Throw a Wrench in Trump’s Pardon Plans

"Merrick Garland’s prosecutors may unseal indictments at the last minute to derail Trump’s plans to pardon January 6 defendants.

Mary Katharine Ham May Just Change How We Think About Hillary Clinton Getting a Medal   "On Saturday, as Sarah covered, President Joe Biden handed off the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a whole host of people, including some particularly undeserving ones like George Soros and Hillary Clinton. While in a way, these recipients cheapen the significance of the award, there's another way of looking at it when it comes to Clinton, as Fox News' Mary Katharine Ham pointed out.

"Ham offered her thoughts during "Fox News Sunday" of how "I think it's good that Hillary Clinton got this award," which she acknowledged would be surprising to others, adding that "because not a lot of novelists and fiction writers get the award," to laughter from Jacqui Heinrich. "And yet the Hillary Clinton campaign financed and created one of the greatest works of fiction in living memory in the Steele Dossier," Ham continued. 

"She also went on to remind everyone just how much of a role it had during the 2016 election. "Despite it being total fiction, it enthralled the press, the Intel community, and federal law enforcement for years. And so I applaud her for that work of fiction and am excited about the work she does in the future on her totally fictional presidency," Ham said. 

"Even Marie Harf, a liberal panelist, indicated that she "loved" how Ham "brought the 2025 energy." . . .  More here

Here Is the Only Video on January 6 You Need to Watch to Understand Who Was Responsible for the Violence that Day

 The Gateway Pundit 

"This also plays into the accusations that this was a setup complete with government agents who infiltrated the Trump crowd.The government turned on the people that day – and the government lied about it for four years now. What a dark day in American history.

"For the last 4 years, Democrats, their media, and the Biden administration have lied thousands of times about who was responsible for the violence on January 6, 2021.

"We now know that three things had to happen in order for the violence to take place.

"1.) Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser had to block the National Guard from protecting the US Capitol. Pelosi did this be banning the President Trump’s request for the National Guard troops at the Capitol that day. And, then on January 6, Nancy Pelosi stalled in calling in the National Guard until late in the afternoon.

"2.) Capitol Police were ready, and eager to fire munitions on innocent Americans peacefully protesting.

"3.) Undercover government operatives and cutouts with the FBI, DOJ, DHS, BATFE, Capitol Police, etc. were operating inside the crowd. Ex: Ray Epps

"To this day Americans have no idea that the federal agents provoking the riot were uniformed police and government agents. And, the US Capitol Police and DC Metro Police fired unrelenting munitions on the J6 protesters without warning. These actions sparked a riot an hour later.

This video below by Investigate J6 is devastating. It shows police firing on the Trump crowd without warning. This confirms previous reports by The Gateway Pundit and interviews with J6 attendees who reported on the vicious and unprecedented brutality by the police on January 6.

"InvestigateJ6: released video last year that exposes how innocent Trump supporters were set up that day by their government.The legacy media has yet to play this video for their audiences.    InvestigateJ6   More here. 

ABC The View's Hostin: ‘You Don’t Move on’ from January 6 — It Was Like WWII, Holocaust, Slavery  Has "Sunny" commented on the Antifa riots and what they have done to American cities?

Merrick Garland closes his reign of terror with a big J6 lie   . . ."Given the actual facts (a protest that got out of hand, not an insurrection; Capitol Police opening sealed doors; helpless people carried inexorably into Congress by the crowd; seeming operatives getting a pass; etc.), the question everyone ought to be asking is how Garland and the DOJ are justifying these official vindictive acts, which are as large in scope as great as any seen after the American Revolution or the Civil War.

"The answer is by using the Big Lie. That’s what Merrick Garland did today, right before Congress certified Trump’s election:

On this day, four years ago, police officers were brutally assaulted while bravely defending the United States Capitol. They were punched, tackled, tased, and attacked with chemical agents that burned their eyes and skin. Today, I am thinking of the officers who still bear the scars of that day as well as the loved ones of the five officers who lost their lives in the line of duty as a result of what happened to them on January 6, 2021. (Emphasis mine.)

"In fact, not a single Capitol Police officer died as a direct result of events on January 6. You only have to look at how carefully Garland phrased that emphasized sentence to understand how dishonest it is to say that they “lost their lives in the line of duty as a result of what happened to them on January 6, 2021.” . . .
