Fox News Parts Ways With Lara Trump, Cites Donald’s Presidential Campaign

 Resist the Mainstream

. . ."A long-standing network policy prohibits individuals campaigning for public office from being paid contributors, the report noted. The rule extends to Ms. Trump because her father-in-law is an announced candidate for the 2024 presidential nomination.

"She was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and his policies during his 2020 presidential reelection campaign and presumably will pick up where she left off, then.

 . . ."The relationship between Donald Trump and the Murdochs has diminished since the Capitol riot.

"The former president and his staff used to be greeted warmly and almost slavishly parroted by on-air personalities. Since he turned the keys of the Oval Office over to Joe Biden, attitudes at Murdoch properties have hardened.

"Fox News may have gotten a jump start on other Murdoch news organizations when it called Arizona a Biden win during election coverage of the 2020 race.". . .

What happens when the federal government no longer protects the states against invasion?

 D. Parker

So we return to one of our original uncomfortable questions: what happens when the federal government no longer protects the states against invasion?

"The past few weeks have given rise to several uncomfortable questions.

"In the past, the party in power has always been held accountable for what it's done in the previous two years.  History teaches us that if that party has a horrible record, its members are thrown out of office in a massive wave election in a rejection of their policies. 

"That didn't happen, and even worse, they have us on the same trajectory that was present before the election.  This effectively means that their repulsive policies have been reinforced rather than rejected.

"Hence, those uncomfortable questions keep cropping up.

"What is the point of voting and elections in general if the voice of the people isn't heard?

"What is the point of paying for a government indoctrination system (schools) that turns out people who vote for their own enslavement?

"What do we do when state governments buy votes with other people's money, cruelly taken by force?

"What happens when the federal government no longer protects the states against invasion?

"That last one is particularly troubling, because the states entered into a contractual agreement, and it is being flouted, in our faces, daily.  Anti-liberty authoritarians of the fascist far left regularly lie about this fact, telling us that "the border is secure."  But how is there an illegal invader crisis in New York City and around the nation if "the border is secure"?". . . 

 Air marshals plan to refuse Biden admin order to deploy to the southern border: report

"Morale is so destroyed from this... I’ve never seen anything like this."

U.S. air marshals are planning to defy an order from the Biden administration that they deploy to the southern border to aid in handling the migration crisis, a plan that would mean that 99% of commercial flights would be without the protection of an air marshal.

" 'The rank and file air marshals are going to refuse to deploy and risk termination," Air Marshal National Council President David Londo told the Washington Examiner. "You're almost going to have a mutiny of a federal agency, which is unheard of."

"The Federal Air Marshal Service last year asked for volunteers to help out at the southern border, but the government in November 2020 made it mandatory. The Department of Homeland Security wants 150 more air marshals at the border on Dec. 7. Dozens are reportedly planning to refuse and likely lose their positions.". . .

Biden can't be capable of all this; someone else must be making these decisions. TD

Joe Biden’s Senior Moment of the Week Vol. 21

Washington Free Beacon

Trigger warningThe following video contains graphic footage of President Joe Biden that some viewers may find repulsive. Please proceed with caution. 


"Welcome back to Joe Biden's senior moments of the week. Our freshly minted octogenarian president picked up right where he left off before the Thanksgiving holiday.

"Biden mispronounced the name of a national park, celebrated America's special relationship with "Frank" [France], and busted out his patented old man wander at the ceremonial lighting of the White House Christmas tree.

" 'You think I'm joking. I'm telling you, I hear more about the Navajo than I hear about me," Biden said at the Tribal Nations Summit at the White House. As is often the case, it wasn't entirely clear what the hell he was talking about.. . ."

BIDEN SENIOR MOMENT ARCHIVES:


Celebrate: Correct pronouns used for Colorado Springs shooting victims

"But who cares? Victims may be piling up, but at least we are using their "correct" pronouns."  Only PC can turn murder into a comedy skit. 

 Eric Utter  "Five people were recently shot to death (and 18 others injured) inside Club Q, an LGBT nightclub in Colorado Springs.  This prompted authorities to verify the names and the pronouns of the victims by working with their families, instead of merely relying on what the coroner's office provided them, a Colorado Springs city spokeswoman told the USA TODAY. 

"During a November 21 news conference, Colorado Springs police chief Adrian Vasquez identified those fatally shot by stating their names — and their pronouns.

"Vasquez said, "We respect all of our community members, including our LGBTQ community.  Therefore, we will be identifying the victims by how they identified themselves and how their families have loved and identified them."

"He continued: "Kelly Loving; pronouns are 'she/her;' Daniel Aston; pronouns are 'he/him;' Derrick Rump; pronouns are 'he/him;' Ashley Paugh; pronouns are 'she/her;' Raymond Green Vance; pronouns are 'he/him.'"

"It is ironic that all five identified as "cisgender," "Loving" and "Rump" included, while the shooter claimed to be non-binary.

"But the important thing — the key takeaway from this heinous act of violence and terror — is that, though all five may be dead, by God, the correct pronouns were used when referring to them!  Right?  I bet somewhere, even now, they are so proud!  So proud!". . .

Good Riddance, Madame Speaker; Making sense of Nancy Pelosi's Leadership

Andrew Ferguson

And yet, along with President Joe Biden, she has become an emblem—neither is articulate enough to be called a "spokesman"—for Catholic politicians willing, sometimes eager, to abandon the faith of their fathers and to cut their consciences to fit the fashions of an ever-evolving liberalism.


"Quite apart from the sympathy and horror every decent person feels over the attack on her husband, I for one am going to miss the old gal, as Nancy Pelosi slowly passes from power, with the announcement on Thursday that she will step down from House leadership. She’s had a good run, growing from a back-bencher to be a giant in the politics of her time. And as any comparable figure should, she leaves behind a trail of tokens—remarks and phrases and images—that future generations, if they’re moved to do so, can trace to find what there is to find of the real Nancy Pelosi.

Among these many tokens, let’s think of three. The most famous is the deathless remark she made not long before the House of Representatives passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in March 2010.

"We have to pass the bill," she said, "so you can find out what’s in it."

"The sentence belongs on her monument, if she gets one. It was her answer to complaints that the ACA, as it quivered its way by peristalsis through the lower intestines of congressional subcommittees and closed-door mark-ups, had grown too cumbersome, too complicated for ordinary people to comprehend its effects or even its intentions.

"She chose to answer the complaint by agreeing with it—and adding an implicit shrug: "What d’ya expect?"

"The remark was so honest and transparent and true—"saying the quiet part out loud," we’d call it today—that her publicists in the press quickly tried to explain it away. Pelosi, they said, was merely making a point about the tide of public opinion, which ran against the ACA: Only when the bill had become law could the mass of little people be dazzled by the glories revealed within, and then change their opinion of it, from skepticism to gratitude.

"But that explanation never stuck. With a single stroke, a mere 14 words, Pelosi summarized and exposed decades of congressional decrepitude, and moreover identified herself as a satisfied creature of it. The reflexive secrecy, the grandiosity, the servility to parochial interests, the endless longueurs that lulled the public to sleep, followed by blind, frenetic fits of legislative activity before the public’s attention could be roused—she was at once the master of this broken system and its servant, utterly complacent, utterly uninterested in its reform. Her party was rewarded in the next election with a group defenestration, losing their majority and 63 seats.". . .

Alyssa Milano traded her Tesla for an electric VW to protest against Elon Musk buying Twitter | Daily Mail Online  Actress Alyssa Milano takes to TWITTER to reveal she's traded her Tesla for an electric VW to protest Elon Musk's purchase of social media firm
  • Actress Alyssa Milano tweeted that she sold her Tesla to protest against Musk

Left-wing’s love for Nazi Volkswagen  

"Recently Twitter CEO Musk was attacked by left-wing actress and activist Alyssa Milano, who was herself mightily ratioed after posting her comment.

"'I gave back my Tesla. I bought the VW ev. I love it”, she wrote, in reference to a Volkswagen model electric vehicle.

"I’m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model”, she added.'

"American liberals clearly have gone insane as they are openly pimping for buying Nazi car Volkswagen – instead of very American Tesla!"

 James Woods Blows the Doors off Dem Effort to Shut Him Down on Twitter


. . ."Then as I reported earlier, one of the people they went after was actor James Woods who had posted a picture on Oct. 24, 2020, that looked like it was Hunter Biden smoking drugs. The files released by Musk show that the DNC contacted Twitter to take action against Woods.

"James Woods is now reacting to the revelations — he’s blowing the doors off Joe Biden and the DNC.

"He called into Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox and he let Biden and the liberal establishment have it. Recalling the McCarthyism enemies’ list that was created, Woods said to Biden, “At long last sir, have you no shame?' ”. . .

“Thank you, @elonmusk, for giving back to all Americans, and voices around the world, the most precious of gifts – free and open speech,” Woods said with gratitude. “I admire you and I salute you, sir.”

James Woods fires back at Twitter, vows to sue over censorship on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight'   James Woods' Twitter account was targeted by Twitter at the request of the Democratic National Committee, according to findings by the company's new CEO Elon Musk. On Friday, Musk shared bombshell revelations about what took place at Twitter behind-the-scenes in a thread shared on the social media platform by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.". . .


Comments to this video: "GOD BLESS YOU ELON MUSK and JAMES WOODS and EVERYONE who are standing up, speaking out for the people and who UNDERSTAND the First Amendment!!! Finally vindication and god willing justice will be served against these horrible, inhumane criminals!"

"Have always liked James Woods and now I love him! 🇺🇸 My husband and I were great friends with the movie critic, Bob Polunski and we asked him who the nicest celebrity he ever interviewed was and he said James Woods. He said he was hands down the nicest celebrity in Hollywood! He said not only was he kind but he gave great interviews. He also remembered him by name when they met at a later function and called Mr. Polunski over to tell him hello." 

Who is Vijaya Gadde, the Twitter exec involved in censoring Post’s Hunter Biden laptop bombshell?

NY Post

Vijaya Gadde (far left) glares at Elon Musk on his first day owning Twitter. Gadde was named in a Twitter thread sharing information on the Hunter Biden censorship.

"One of the high-level Twitter executives who reportedly played “a key role” in the company’s decision to censor The Post’s bombshell story on Hunter Biden’s laptop has a long history of being accused of suppressing conservative voices.

"

Twitter’s former top lawyer Vijaya Gadde was singled out in an explosive Twitter thread on Friday by independent journalist Matt Taibbi, who purportedly obtained communications between top officials at the social media company in the wake of The Post’s October 2020 story on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. 

“The decision was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, with former head of legal, policy and trust Vijaya Gadde playing a key role,” Taibbi wrote after reviewing internal company communications for a report he dubbed “The Twitter Files.” 

Gadde has long been derided by conservatives as the company’s “chief censor.” 




Republicans To Impeach Joe Biden After Taking Control of the House

David Rufful   "Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York is pushing to impeach Joe Biden for “dereliction of duty.”

Biden, who is 80 years old, is the oldest president in U.S. history. Many Americans have speculated that he’s suffering from age-related dementia and should face impeachment under the 25th Amendment.

“Whether it is Joe Biden’s dereliction of duty at the Southern Border or his disastrous retreat in Afghanistan, I have called for Joe Biden to answer to the American people in Impeachment hearings,” Tenney said in a statement.

“I will not stand by while Biden and Pelosi trample on our constitution to push their far-left agenda,” she continued.

“I look forward to working with a Republican House Majority next Congress to impeach Biden and hold his administration accountable for their numerous failures.”. . .

. . .In his conduct as the former Vice President and current President of the United States, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the offices of the Vice Presidency and President of the United States, and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, defend, the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph Robinette Biden abused the power of the Office of the Vice President, enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, by allowing his son to influence the domestic policy of a foreign nation and accept various benefits—including financial compensation—from foreign nationals in exchange for certain favors. . .

The Left’s Latest Gender Outburst Should Be Assigned to a Landfill

Deroy Murdock

              One wonders: Are people really white or black, or is race assigned at birth, too?


"It never stops.

"Consider today’s headline from a Fight for Schools press release:

ABC7: Fairfax County Public Schools Sex Education Changes Will Refer to Boys as “assigned males at birth” and Girls as “assigned females at birth”

"Whatever one thinks about gender, this Wokistani jargon is so leaden.

"If we are going to ditch “boy” and use “assigned male at birth,” will boyfriends become assigned-male-at-birth-friends?

"The boy next door? "Done! He’s now the assigned-male-at-birth next door.

"That is so romantic.

"Remember Mötley Crüe’s 1985 hit “Smokin’ in the Boys Room”? (Brownsville Station originated this tune in 1973.) Well, let’s hear it for 2022’s “Smokin’ in the Assigned-Males-at-Birth Room.” Man, that rocks!

"Who could forget 1968’s “I’m a Girl Watcher” by the O’Kaysions?

"Now it will be “I’m an Assigned-Female-at-Birth Watcher.” That really sets the fingers snapping.". . .

I Have Some Questions about Gender Assignment  . . ."My first question is, what is the department in the hospital that assigns genders to newborns called?  Because if you call a hospital and ask for the "gender assignment department," they don't seem to know what you are talking about.  I've called eight hospitals so far.  Not one of them seems to have a department that assigns gender to newborns.". . .
