“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Can someone help me get beyond a paywall here:
Academe Today: Affluent white students are skipping college, and no one is sure why
Chronicle of Higher Education
Can’t help with the paywall, but here is the author of the article talking about it. There is a “Transcript” button to click so you can read the discussion
https://think.kera.org/2024/11/19/why-white-kids-are-skipping-college/
The college admissions departments must have amnesia. Or maybe they’re pretending not to know things?
Have these moonbats forgotten how they drove white American students away for years with their DEI litmus tests? No white Americans need apply?
Not to mention their poison death shots?
Many American kids have gotten too smart for their indoctrination centers, anyway. They have simply moved on.
I agree Judith and maybe better life/money in the trades (electrician, plumber, etc.). However STEM students may find college degrees helpful in the employment arena. Wife, myself and all our children have University degrees, but I tell my grandchildren they should explore the trades…bill
A combination of worthless degrees, lowered standards and competition from H1B. I told my son to pick a trade instead, and I have a STEM degree.
Super cool advice dude
100% it will actually be quite interesting going forward watching university uneducated or indoctrinated youngsters realizing they have been conned.
Cheers!
Reality is hard..
Thank you. Will be posting anything interesting.
I doubt that White students are intentionally “skipping” college. It’s probably that they simply are not being admitted!
Scholarships have been real tough to come by if you meet certain genetic milestones..
It’s simple: “You’re taking on a quarter-million dollars in ‘student loan debt,'” which you will never be able to pay off, for “a piece of paper.” Sensible would-be students are therefore deciding to do something else. They can join a trade, find a good career doing something useful that other people will pay for, and in due time actually maybe buy a house because they aren’t smothered in debt.
My entire 4-year degree cost a benevolent candy company $13,000 because I was “out of state.” An in-state student paid about $4,000. “Full-tuition scholarships” were commonplace.
But then, Wall Street realized that they could no longer securitize
worthless“sub-prime” mortgages anymore. So, they invented “Student Loan Asset-Backed Securities (SLABs).” Even though they cannot actually link any “security” to a specific “loan” or “loans.”Where Are the White Students?- Think
Main Points of Interview with the CHE Writer
I. All Student Enrollment Dropping a bit in the past few years.
Financial reasons: “The Great Recession” (as CHE writer calls it)Demographic trends: declining birth ratesCollege readiness: Fewer students graduating high school ready for collegeQuestion of whether college is worth the expense
II. Elite schools are still competitive while non-elite schools accept 3/4 of students who apply. Non-elite schools will be most hard hit, since their pool of potential students will dry up faster.
III. White student enrollment in 4-year colleges/universities – falling 3 times faster than the national average.
Started before Covid but has been growing a lot since.Took demographers and CHE writers by surprise
IV. How CHE found out about the white enrollment statistics.
CHE writer and her editor were discussing the drop in black students since CovidThey decided to compare black enrollment drop to the drop in white students, which they assumed would be smaller.Instead, they found the opposite was true-white students had a steeper drop in enrollment AND this drop in enrollment has been going on for at least a decade or so.The CHE writers were very surprised.–More to follow—
NOTE: CHE is Chronicle of Higher Education – trade paper for universities and colleges.
Not Guevara, although it should be. 😀
Continuation of CHE writer interview:
V. More Reasons for CHE’s “surprise”
CHE Writers had been focusing on populations that were “most hard hit” and “the minority populations”.Since 2020, there had been a big focus on “racial equity”A tendency to focus on students who are “underrepresented in higher education, and not those who tend to be overrepresented, which is white students.” (Direct quote).
VI. CHE’s reaction – “We weren’t really sure what to do with this” (Direct quote)
“These numbers kept coming up.””They were sort of counterintuitive.””We kept expecting that the enrollment slides would be highest among black students and that just wasn’t the case.”.
VII. The CHE writer had to double check the figures
CHE writer checked with “some demographers and researchers”The numbers had “snuck up” on some demographers and researchers too.Again, the focus of the demographers and researchers had been the decline in enrollment in black students since the pandemic and how to “turn this around.”They weren’t looking at enrollment trends around white students either..
VIII. Why the drop in white students?
Is it demographics?
CHE writer says her first assumption was that the drop in white students could be explained by the decrease in the percentage of whites as part of the US population in general.Fertility rates among white women are dropping at faster rates than other groups.
It’s not demographics
Apparently the “demographers and researchers” said the decline was too precipitous to be explained by demographics alone
.
More to come….
Wreckuity.
Most colleges are waaay too expensive today.
It’s about time that kids just opt out.
Maybe that will help the costs come back down eventually.
“no one is sure why”? No one?
I beg to differ…
Perhaps the people at the chronicle of higher education should spend five minutes in front of the average legacy media program. That ought to help them figure it out.

I didn’t know Oz also supported euthanasia. I should have, though, because he’s a quack who supports ‘transing’ little kids into the opposite sex, which means he’s sick in the head.

It only took three days for a significant coalition of Trump supporters on X to smother Sheriff Chad Chronister’s nomination. Goes to show that the president-elect is actively listening to the will of his voters. Good sign!
This is a crucial position, especially for low-income seniors. Not those who have already fallen through the cracks into the “you’ll own nothing and be happy” state care, Medicaid, but the millions whose quality of life is steadily diminishing as Medicare is looted.
Mehmet Oz is satanic practitioner. Ask Marina Abramovic.
Putting him in charge of CMS gives him the means to put monetary pressure on the nursing homes, doctors, and hospitals to view their patients as in need of death talks, not life extension, all while seeing themselves as “compassionate defenders of personal autonomy.”
Systems pressures = the society you find in The Giver.
Are we talking “death panels” here? Forgive my confusion. But I assume that’s what you mean.
Satanists would relish death panels. One would think.
I’ll take your word for it.
If things remain the same in South Korea – with no more actions by the Military or Security Agencies – as things snap back to business as usual —
— the best bet is – this was a choreographed Distraction along the lines of the Attempted Coup in Turkey a few years ago…
The Turkish + South Korean Militaries are not this incompetent.
If they partnered with other key elements in Gov to attempt a Coup – it would last far more than a few hours…
— So, something else is going on in Korea than what we are being sold.
My guess is — studies in Korea this year began codifying the harmful effects from the Fake Vaxes – an echoing similar studies in other nations.
SK was one of the most vaxed nations – like Israel which was at the top.
Are they screaming about Turbo Cancers + Myocarditis + Died Suddenly in Israel right now…?
No. Their citizens are extremely focused on other things…
If we don’t see the Korean Military try other measures to gain control of Parliament + control of the Gov — my bet is – the Establishment there is scared of what happens if/when the hot blooded citizens realize they have been poisoned + is trying to distract them with other things.
The Presidency in South Korea is not a terribly powerful office- without overwhelming Popular Support – which they never have.
They only get 1 5-year Term. The current office holder has already had 2.
It makes no sense that he + any followers in the Military + beyond would push for Martial Law for just a few hours + then accept it when the Parliament voted to disband it…
They would be following the letter of the Law – but – blowing the Hades out of common sense…. The Korean Military is not that incompetent…
The disappearance of their President near the capital
has led many South Koreans to start Seoul searching 🙂
Not the WORDMAN™ for nuthin’, folks…
They hired a private eye to find him…

re: Hunter pardon
“The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history,” U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi said.
Scarsi said “a press release is not a pardon” and that he would dispose of the case once he receives the official pardon from “the appropriate executive agency.”
https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2024/12/judge-scarsi-on-pardon.pdf
That was a good read. I don’t know anything about this judge, but based on this order alone I’d like to see him in an appellate position.
.
Sorry, no. Nowhere in the Constitution is it written that the President’s plenary pardon power is dependent upon some bureaucrat somewhere in an “executive agency” putting it into words on a particular kind of letterhead.
(Compare, re Trump, declassification authority.)
Lawyers sometimes make dubious arguments for multifarious reasons (e.g. delay, or maybe the judge will buy it, or maybe the continuing pain in the process will force a settlement, whatever.)

Unrepentant covid tyrant withdraws from DEA nomination
Accountability. Chad Chronister’s nomination fell apart in just three days.
Jordan Schachtel
On Saturday, president-elect Trump announced that he would be nominating Hillsborough County (Florida) Sheriff Chad Chronister to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Just three days later, his nomination has been taken off the table.
Within minutes of the Saturday post from the president-elect’s Truth Social account, it became clear that the nomination was a major mistake. On X and other social media platforms, Trump supporters quickly unveiled a plethora of disturbing information about Sheriff Chronister.
Specifically, the Tampa area official was an unrepentant Covid tyrant who infamously had a local pastor arrested for keeping his church open. Other highlights include his decision to mass-release inmates from prison, citing covid. Not only did he enforce some of the most draconian restrictions across the United States, the sheriff also advocated for Red Flag laws and expanded the county’s DEI policies.
A connected source tells The Dossier that Chronister was vouched for through Pam Bondi, who will be overseeing the DEA and has a long working relationship with the Sheriff. Bondi, a longtime Florida politician and lobbyist, and later, a Trump world staple, is the latest Attorney General nominee following Matt Gaetz’s unilateral withdrawal from consideration.
It only took three days for a significant coalition of Trump supporters on social media to smother Sheriff Chad Chronister’s nomination. The president-elect is actively listening to the will of his voters, and that’s a good thing!
There is just no place for political leadership in this country for any man or woman who instituted tyrannical policies in the name of covid. There remains no evidence that Sheriff Chronister has apologized or accounted for his advancement of the aforementioned insane edicts.
Had Sheriff Chronister taken accountability for his inhumane actions and pledged to never repeat them, then perhaps he’d still be the DEA nominee.
https://www.dossier.today/p/unrepentant-covid-tyrant-withdraws
This is the BIG takeaway for me:
It only took three days for a significant coalition of Trump supporters on social media to smother Sheriff Chad Chronister’s nomination. The president-elect is actively listening to the will of his voters, and that’s a good thing!
Let’s make our voices heard to PT if and when we have issues with the nominees he is putting out there. It sounds like he really does care about what we think!
I like having all the cabinet nominations in two weeks after the election. If someone must withdraw, there is plenty of time to replace them, before they must go before the Senate. If a second choice is not generating enthusiasm, then a third choice may be made, without any regrets. The important thing is getting the right people.
Paul Niemi,
I agree, one of the refreshing things about PDJT is that selectively, he breaks with tradition, like rebelling against the foolish way the have signed bills in the past.
And here again, PDJT said “this is foolish, I need to hit the ground running!”
I like it.
I disagree Clarion, Washington state recently elected many of the idiots that was involved with covid stupidity such as; public lock downs in our homes, closing churches, closing gyms, masks & required injections that forced many to retire causing hardships in many govt fields still today that provided needed services to the public. WA has wonderful natural resources like ocean beaches, spectacular rivers, ancient old growth forests, high deserts and majestic mountains/a beautiful state with ignorant government/voters…bill
I wonder what PDJT thinks about Bondi recommending this guy, now that we know he criticized Trump’s pastor?
Exactly. Where was the VETTING process?
There is also a famous saying in politics: getting elected, and governing, are two different things.
And Sundance says there will be no push from Bondi to reign in the Swamp / IC. So it’s here forever, only to grow larger, and go after President Trump when he leaves office? Unless the plan is to axe large departments… which the Democrats will just try to bring back.
We’re doomed.
/s
And getting nominated, getting confirmed, and actually serving AS a Presidential appointee are also 3, not two, very different things.
Frankly, unless someone wanting to critisise PDJT’s picks first aknowledges the obvious conundrum he and we all know he faces, IMHO such criticisms carry little weight.
PDJT wants people who are qualified, and loyal to him and MAGA.
The Senate RINOS are dead set against PDJT and his MAGA/MAHA agenda, and so will vote against any nominees that are loyal to him and MAGA.
In order to carry out his agenda, he needs people to head these depts, and carry out his directions.
THAT is the conundrum, and so HOW is he supposed to resolve it?
PDJT send out a statement via TRUTH SOCIAL today that PDJT himself withdrew Chronister’s name .
Dr Oz next i hope.
OZ apparently has everyone fooled. Except for many of “us”.
“…I guess someone’s got to be the George Soros on the Right…”
Holy crap. Publicly stating exactly what MAGA believes to its core.
Wow, surprising to me, although Speaker Johnson is being perfectly logical.
Rejecting Joes request for still more $ for Ukes, Johnson says with a new President coming in, he will wait and see what they want.
Is it possible Speaker Johnson is not the …..no, can’t say that,…not that either,…RINO, I/C compromised puppet that he has appeared to be since becoming Speaker?
Did PDJT take him aside at MAL, and show him that whatever dirt the I/C has on him, PDJT has it, too?
Good grief I don’t recall seeing the gun actually firing and CEO, Brian Thompson going down.
This is terrible.
These reporters are so dopey. It’s no longer called a silencer. It’s called a suppressor.
There is a lot more to this. If it comes out UHC is going under and filing bankruptcy, leaving their customers holding the bag, no surprise. The comments on ZH article about this, are spot on. Ironically we had a houseguest over the holidays that had a ton of dealing with this underwriter. Telling us what a nightmare it is for all of their customers. Disgraceful what they are doing. Not condoning what happened. Just not surprised someone lost it and resorted to this.
Someone didn’t lose it, this was a pro.
Calmly clears 3 misfires,probably due to using subsonic ammo in a semi-auto, using a suppressor, well planned escape, etc.
This was not a disgruntled individual, this assasin was paid , would be my guess.
If the weapon was heavily biased towards suppression it could have had a bolt/slide locking feature that would require manual cycling to put in a new round.
Recreational shooters might aspire to such a set-up simply to maximize the reduction of noise, keeping the slide closed allows gasses and the shock wave to be mediated by the suppressor, instead of a good portion of them coming out via a cycling bolt/slide.
Not ideal for this assassin’s task, but seemed to do the job.
Not ejecting the casing willy-nilly allows the shooter to collect the casing directly from the chamber to retain rather than leaving behind for the police, so could be part of the motivation for this setup.
He was grabbing the shell casings.
Totally. That’s as professional a killing as one is ever likely to see, captured on tape. Could it be any more obvious.
Like he was making a sandwich..

Not ejecting by design. He was collecting the brass each time he re racked the slide.
Unhappy wife?
Seems as though he is manually cycling the pistol, reminds me of the action of the SOE’s Welrod, where you have to twist the bolt, before pulling it back. Either that or he’s using subsonic ammo and is twisting his hand to catch the casings.
Knows what he is doing, because he only starts running when he crosses the road.
So, an assassin’s pistol that isn’t a dreaded semi-automatic?
How will they demonize our rights this time?
They always pull something out of their fundament.
Oh, and he’s wearing a rucksack with his second set of clothes, plus disguise (wigs, prosthetics etc), complete visually transformation quickly. My guess is he used public transport to escape the area, far less traceable than a vehicle.
Notice also how he knew where the CCTV was, so picked his spot where no exposure to a frontal shot (given modern visual recognition software can see through face coverings).
Not if you line the face covering with mylar or aluminum foil.
Gives credence to the ‘tin foil hat’, now don’t it.
California will ignore this.
Hmm, I would never bet $, based on how oral arguments led someone to THINK SCOTUS will rule.

Can PDJT stop this, once he is sworn in?
This is yet another thin wedge to get between parents rights and responsibilities and the State’s obsession with owning our children.
If they grant such an extensive right to children, children who cannot enforce such insanity upon their parents on their own, the government simply has to replace the authority of the parents, though they may permit the parents the opportunity to raise their gender-bent child under the strictest of supervision.
Destroying the human family is an endless Commie design.
This from an article accessed through Yahoo linked by CFP (Citizen Free Press) about Jill’s last foreign trip on our dime.

“Exclusive: Investigators Uncover Orgy, VA Official Who Had Sex with 32 Different Coworkers at Tennessee Veteran Hospital”
Excerpts:
Congressional investigators discovered that one man who resigned, whose name they would not tell Breitbart News but sources familiar say was a bargaining unit biomedical employee, had dozens of sexual relationships with women who worked at the Mountain Home VA medical center in Tennessee. In fact, the congressional investigators told Breitbart News this one man slept with no fewer than 32 different women who worked there—and the man and several of the women bragged about their exploits on an online group forum on a government communication portal that VA officials use to communicate about veteran healthcare and facility operations.
What’s more, sources familiar with the congressional investigation told Breitbart News they uncovered that an orgy of at least 12 officials who work at the facility took place. It’s unclear at this time whether the orgy happened on government property at the VA facility or off-site—but the mere fact that a dozen of the government workers employed there did this is astounding.

I’m no fan of the WSJ, but Chronister himself said that he was withdrawing himself from consideration — not that PT pulled him. So is that on the WSJ that Chronster misrepresented what happened? Also, I considered the Matt Gaetz situation a “setback,” as many of us did in lining up his cabinet picks, so again… Just saying that their reporting in this case doesn’t seem that off the wall.
President Trump said he pulled him.
So the Trump hating WSJ can go cover their on shyte up. You don’t need to come here and be a shill for them
No need to be rude or resort to name calling, Johnny. I was referring to Sundance’s post on Chronister, with the embedded tweet where he announced withdrawing for a bunch of so-called personal reasons. President Trump had made no statement refuting it that I know of, until after Chronister made his statement and the WSJ reported on it.
I’m not shilling for anyone. Next time, read the Treehouse’s rules about addressing people respectfully.
Okay I apologize for the shilling. How about you are saying WSJ is right
And President Trump is lying and WSJ is so honest
So again….
Here is what President Trump thinks about the WSJ.
I believe President Trump
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The Wall Street Journal is becoming more and more obnoxious and unreadable. Today’s main headline is: “Trump’s DEA Pick Pulls Out In Latest Setback.” With all that’s happening in the World, this is their Number One story of the day. Besides, he didn’t pull out, I pulled him out, because I did not like what he said to my pastors and other supporters. But, more importantly, what’s my “latest” setback??? I just won the Presidency of the United States! They haven’t written a good story about me in YEARS. Somebody over there ought to look at what they’re doing. The only one worse than them is stupid, China-centric Forbes Magazine!
You actually thought Matt Gaetz had a snowballs chance in hell of being confirmed as A.G.?
Wanna buy a bridge?
Sorry, being sarcastic but not intending to be mean, and I know a lot of people took that nomination seriously…
Don’t appreciate the sarcasm, Dutchman — we can discuss things intelligently without that. (I just dealt with it with someone above… sorry, not in the mood.)
But yes, I did truly want to see Gaetz in as AG. (Do you prefer Trojan Barbie? I don’t.)
I knew there would be a battle, but there is static about every one of PT’s no-nonsense picks. I really wanted an AG like Gaetz who wouldn’t be afraid to do what needed doing. Massie seemed to take it seriously as well, when he said Matt would be the next AG, “recess appointment,” and deal with it. So yes, I took it seriously, and didn’t think I was being stupid or naive — just hopeful. (You believed that Kari Lake would beat the cheat to become senator — so did I. Same thing. Were we being naive or foolish?)
Touche, and I tried, obviously unsuccessfully to soften the sarcasm.
Sure, I WANTED Gaetz to be confirmed, and I wanted Lake to win.
Actually, I wanted her to win as Gov. was not as enthused about her as Senator, preferred her as VP pick.
For me, wanting is different than expecting,…I don’t think there was 1 minute when I thought Gaetz could get confirmed, or that Kari would win her Senate race
Time is now to put Gaetz name back in the headlines as a possible pick for something or maybe Alex Jones.Bongino strategy to take Pete H out of headlines.over whelm the news cycle.
Thanks, Dutchman — you are a gentleman and a scholar! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on Matt and Kari.
I guess I did believe that with all the bold picks PT was front loading right out of the gun, and his push for recess appointments and a fast track for his nominees, I honestly thought that Gaetz had a good chance, one way or another, of getting confirmed. Especially when Massie made it sound like a done deal. I put Gaetz in the same food group with Hegseth, and yet, PT is telling Pete to hang in and fight for it.
With Matt, it seemed that PT told him he was only one vote short, but that McC, Murk, Collins and Curtis were all hard No’s, and it seemed like he left it up to Gaetz to step down instead of telling him to stay strong. So yeah, I really did think it was going to happen for Gaetz. For the record, I also have an insane faith gift. This is how I saw Matt’s first day of work:
I clicked that after seeing those captioned words. Always loved that record! the meme?
Not so much but whatever. Still a great record and as timely today as EVER.
“they will not control us, we will be victorious” works for me.
I’ve been listening to the oral argument. Good grief, the gov is completely invested in “these medical treatments for minors” and “these medicines”. Shameful. Dot Gov is fitting a square peg into a round hole that strict scrutiny applies since it all boils down to purported sex discrimination. I must say, however the Solicitor General is excellent and extraordinarily well prepared.
She belongs in a mental hospital.
They liken everything to banning interracial marriage, because everyone who disagrees with their agenda is a racist.
She is married to a milk toast white dude WTF is she talking about
She doesn’t know if there’s a difference between a man and a woman since, in her words, she’s not a biologist. She should be removed from the court since she was a DEI hire.
She should be hauled out in handcuffs since the entire Biden regime is illegitimate.
President Trump should preside over a Nullification and Reconciliation Commission that identifies all acts of the previous nullities, the illegible usurper Obama and his illegally installed puppet Biden, wherein President Trump decides which acts will fall away as if never enacted and which will stand under his authority as the only properly elected Constitutionally eligible President in the past two decades.
From nominations and appointments to laws and edicts, nothing and no one stands unless VSGGEPDJT puts his name on it.

Aaugh.
Luckily he’s supposed to head a place where he doesn’t have to pick his own clothes.
It sounds like he’s ready to do what we’d hope someone in that job would do.
On this 2nd part of the interview, starting around the 6:30 minute mark, he talks about what his focus will be as defense sec. To me, meh, just not strong enough. It doesn’t seem like he understands what he is getting into regarding the power of defense contractors, blackrock and big business, defending banksters, etc. He needs a wake up call from Macgregor.
O.k. I’m sold on Hegseth, and as he says, unless and until PDJT pulls the plug,its fight, fight, FIGHT

That’s a hit job. Not random. I can’t wait to find out (will we???) what he was gonna do that made him an enemy of Big Medical/Pharma.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden just wrapped up an interview livestream on The Shannon Joy Show on Rumble.
https://rumble.com/v5vwoun-live-exclusive-w-dr.-mary-talley-bowden-on-why-covid-mrna-tech-must-be-bann.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp
Yesterday, Dr. Bowden and Callie Means appeared along with another person or two on a different podcast with which I am unfamiliar. Apparently, the debate became rather heated. Watch for a link on her X timeline @MdBreathe .
One thing that popped out of today’s conversation is that Shannon Joy is a bit suspicious about how Callie Means, a career Washington DC food and pharma lobbyist, has been able to jump into the center of MAHA. She is concerned that the air in the room is being consumed by food quality/exercise/soil health at the expense of a proper discussion of mRNA vaccines and medical tyranny. She thinks Mr. Means may be using his efforts in MAHA as a diversion away from his former employers.
Anyway, there are the interview link and Dr. Bowden’s X handle if you might be interested.
That is interesting. I did have my concerns about how this might degenerate into a matter of banning ingredients in some foods, when if consumers were made aware they could choose whether or not they wanted to buy those foods.
That was too simplistic, and yes these people did basically come out of nowhere and take over the debate.
We were told that McDonald’s food was bad for us, but we were told that it was bad for us for the wrong reasons, because of all the fat and salt.
We are going to see what we thought we knew about dietary salt stood on its head.
Does anyone else remember when there were stories on the news suggesting that everyone over 40 should be on statins?
I’m getting off the point here, but yes, we are getting distracted by Fruit Loops and soda pop.
Its an awfully big topic, with lots of parts to the whole, and they are threatening a BUNCH of “TPTB”; Take on making our food healthier, they are taking on big AG, and Chemical companies, but take on the Mrna vaxs, your taking on a combination of Big Medicine/Big Harma, the MIC and I/C, who are aligned in an unholy alliance to push this crap on us.
And they will use every dirty trick from insinuating people in, to undermining good people, bribery, coercion and I would not put murder as out of the question.
Or perhaps actually reading Callie and sister’s story as to how their eyes were opened would help…
link,…?
“Calley is Casey’s brother and is an advocate/whistleblower about the corruption of the food and pharma industries.”
Its not like he hides his history. People around here like to dump on everyone without even trying to find out the story. While mRNA shots are a serious health risk, Callie and Casey have been focused on the chronic health problems facing Americans and the corrupt big Pharma.

French government collapses as Barnier loses no-confidence vote
Barnier will leave office having served the shortest prime ministerial term in modern French history.

=====================
French government toppled in historic no-confidence vote
A majority of lawmakers voted on Wednesday for a motion of no confidence, causing the fall of Michel Barnier’s three-months-old government.
[…]The Assemblée Nationale debated two motions of no confidence on Wednesday, one presented by the radical left and the other by the far right, in a standoff over next year’s austerity budget, after the prime minister on Monday forced a social security financing bill through without a vote.

===============================
France’s government has collapsed.
The caretaker government will have to expedite current affairs and cannot vote on new laws.
It’s up to Macron to nominate a new prime minister and he has no specific deadline.
New legislative elections can only be called next July.
Although Macron’s presidential term runs until spring 2027, some parties are calling for the head of state to resign over the political chaos that has ensued following his decision to dissolve parliament.

I want to find a woman to look at me the same way Macron looks at Zelensky.

And Daddy Trump is coming on Saturday.
LOL
God truly does mock the plans and schemes of the wicked.
Macron is reaping what he sowed when he prevented Marine Le Pen from winning…. he threw his lot in with the far left and they rewarded him!
The photo of the child…
There is no pardon for that type of behavior.
There something funny about the picture. Although I fully agree that Hunter is a foul, vile, disgusting excuse for a human. It might be real, but it looks to me like a grown woman, shrunk.
Treepers bend over backwards to not believe shady things. Until they’re proved.
Grown woman shrunk?
Not a chance, there are no secondary sexual characteristics.
Why are you playing this angle?
Agreed. Upper left is sickening. These little girls’ lives are completely sexualized to the degree this is what they think they’re to focus on in life.
And folks, thats some of the,….milder photos on his laptop.
Similar to what Eric Prince said, about hard core NYC police throwing up when they saw what was on Hillarys,…yeah its bad.
Cell mates with Bubba would be a suitable punishment…
Somehow when Anthony Weiner talked dirty to an underage girl who someone sent his way, he ended up in federal prison.
” they ” HAD TO FREE UP – Huma Mahmood Abedin –
ENDED UP with the SOROS spawn
Have these images been verified via the site that uploaded the laptop? (Was that marcopolo something?).
I believe they have been, and cheering, you WANT it to be an adult woman shrunk, there are numerous pics of very young girls in panties, bra, garter belt and stockings, and they are not photo shopped.
He knows there is no statute of limitations for MURDER
That’s an admission that he murdered her!!! JMO
Byrd is a murderer and he knows it.
He’ll get the pardon is my guess!!! He’s a hero to those in Congress except for a handful of MAGA members!!!
Current Occupant will be selling pardons right and left…
Byrd doesn’t have the cash…better lawyer up…
I don’t believe unnamed sources close to the WH, and so am HIGHLY sceptical Byrd, who shot ashli babbit, has contacted the WH, requesting a pardon, cause he fears being charged for her murder.
I call b.s.
Byrd needs the Thompson treatment
My understanding is; one can only get a pardon if charged. Byrd has not been charged.
Hunter just got a pardon on hundreds of Federal felonies he has never been charged with! So if it’s good for Hunter it will work for the murderer Byrd!!! Lt. Michael Byrd’s family roots are in Jamaica. Wonder if he was an anchor baby??? Just wondering???
Funny how all these basterds who dindu nuffin want pardons for the nuffin they dindu.
Minor tidbit about Larry Ellison: He (80y.o.) is married to a 33 y.o. Asian girl named Keren Zhu (Jolin).
https://archive.is/P93My
And??
I just thought it was interesting to mention since Sundance has been discussing Larry and big tech the past few days/months. As mentioned, minor tidbit, nothing to follow.
SO?
He also owns the island of Lanai in Hawaii.
Your point?
Its just information, process it anyway you like. I don’t care. 3 reply with nothing to say.
I love it.
Good one. Hearing delayed as Justice Ketanya-Brown has trouble locating the womans room.
Religious status is not immutable either, though.
Yet, doesn’t civil rights cover religious belief?
You conflate status with belief, to create a conundrum where none exists.
Different situation. Because: A specifically enumerated Amendment speaks directly to religious freedom (First Amendment, which is why it is #1). The civil rights cases are based on the 14th Amendment which speaks to “Equal Protection” – requiring interpretative analysis.
Hmm,..Justice Alitovasks if trans status is immutable, as civil rights only pertain to traits which are immutable.
Gender fluidity is not immutable.
And the Solicitor General did not answer the direct question – she deflected with word salad posturing. Alito let it go and did not press it – but either he or another one of the Justices circled back to it, which was great.
Hmmm, it seems the Trump transition team has finally signed an agreement to allow FBI background checks on his cabinet picks. I wondered if/how long they could get around it, but it had seemed like they had it all worked out with private security firms vetting their picks. They were also turning down federally provided office space and equipment to provide that on their own. I’m wondering if that has also changed. I hope it works out better this time, without all the press leaks, dirty tricks, and sabotage by the IC like last time around…
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-transition-signs-agreement-fbi-background-checks
Maybe if already done them independently……then can get 2nd results for comparison and maybe catch the FBI in something.
Genius
Watch it, Judge,….. when you hold them in Contempt in your Opinion Court and reduce their “butwhataboutTrump” attacks to defend Lying/Crooked Joe to just too much egg on their faces,…. they resort to their last Woke DEI retort: “You’re a Raycist/Sexist!”
Oh oh!! Judge Jeanine be rayciss. She said cut the crap…

A list of potential no Senators for Hegseth nomination.
When I saw a picture of Earnest with the Elon and Vivek team several days ago, the alarm bells were going off. She was at Mara Largo and said she was working with them.
Joni is part of the McConnell posse. There was a new Senator that was pushing for Joni to take Hegseth’s place.
Fast forward and Joni is now listed as a possible no for Hegseth. You can’t make this stuff up.
President Trump, this woman should be nowhere near the transition team. I beg of you and Elon to investigate who is leaking information and to boot this woman out of the transition team’s orbit.
Your team should know better. Honestly!!
Now we know why they gave away 4 senate seats.
We’re doomed!

About the NASA guy appointed…
Well, definitely marches to a different drum. It’s the outsiders…and no Ivy League to be beholden to?
I would also like to propose to VSGGEPDJT that he take a look at the Patent system.
Helping the little people would be aided by reform of the Patent System which has made of fertile American minds an intellectual smorgasbord for Corporations to pilfer and suppress ideas and inventions whose creators may themselves never succeed in gathering the resources necessary to successfully complete the patenting of their concepts, indeed the system appears to have been altered and degraded for that very purpose.
Only the creativity of American Doers and Creators can facilitate and sustain a renaissance of manufacturing; aiding them in protecting ideas encourages more minds to participate, including those now kept entirely out of the system because they know it’s rigged; we would have more and more productivity and innovation, a culture of creation is as MAGA as it gets.
It’s those dang outsiders, getting in the way/s—-Excellent idea!
Can we just get incandescent lights back?
LED’s are harsh and flicker.
Amen, Maquis.
Dipped my toe in dem waters, got burned.
I have notes for literally hundreds of concepts, most would be easy to implement by any engineer or product developer were they to be brought to them; I can bring the sparks, but they are better prepared to steal them away than I am to protect and profit from them.
I left a trail of new tools during my Air Force career, some I couldn’t believe engineers hadn’t built four or more decades earlier when the problems were first staring them in the face. I still have dreams of fixing aircraft and saving the world with new tools built on the fly.
Yet the system now is designed to suck the life and funds from any effort I make as a normie to protect an idea sufficient to be able to seek to market it, it is now entirely anti-entrepreneurial and blatantly suppresses us creatives.
Even the fatuous Provisional Patent, supposedly guaranteeing protection for a year while one is supposedly going to complete the full patent process before year’s end or lose it to the Corporations who browse the Patents system and are prepared the instant a noob predictably fails to complete the arcane process to promptly seize the intellectual property for themselves.
The Provisional Patent simply tempts unprepared over-eager folk to expose their ideas to the world well before they are prepared to actually do the expensive work required to apply for a full patent; it was never for the people, it was always for the Corporations.

Didn’t parents stop giving children aspirin because of the small risk of Reye’s syndrome?
Well I dont know about that syndrome; but during my childhood I was given one adult aspirin daily and never got it 😛
And the potential no voters said yes to freaking Lloyd Austin.
The Pete Hegseth Hit Job. It is not like he was sleeping with a Chinese Spy. via Hot Air – David Strom
“-and this is why some Republicans are joining in on the witch hunt–is that Hegseth is a direct threat to the military-industrial complex that has been living high off the hog for decades. Trump and his cabinet picks are hostile to “forever wars” and the trillions of dollars that have been dumped into the Pentagon and intelligence apparatus for decades.
It’s not that Trump wants to downsize American military power–want he wants to downsize is the waste and corruption that have led us to the point that the Pentagon hasn’t passed an audit in years. The military cannot account for about half its spending and assets, and that is just how they like it.
Pete Hegseth is a danger to the Establishment’s gravy train. Pete is an outsider, not because he doesn’t understand the military, but because he understands it as a soldier and not a politician or arms exporter.
Every flag officer is a political appointee with sponsors in Congress, which is why the current batch is mainly DEI hires or in favor of DEI. They have ties to Congress, money people, and defense contractors and are looking to retire with a full pension and a nice spot on the boards of defense companies. ”
Hegseth promises to upset the status quo, so they are determined to stop him.
None of this has to do with what Hegseth does in private. Nobody really cares about that. (especially in DC)
It is, as always, about money and power, and nothing else.
🤶 🦌 👀
It would be a shame if we got info on those Senators that are trying to disrupt the seating of President’s Trump administration…for instance, I saw with my own eyes the threats against Senator Graham on Twitter during his last election to the Senate. I could go on and on, but for now I will give a shoutout from time to time as I glean for more 😛
For example:
Is this true…
Stop spreading this kinda stuff on the internets if you really want to retain credibility.
Now just calm down Senators and get the Senate in regular order and do the one job that is required of your congressional body or you might get run over by a reindeer…teehee
Hot dang I knew there was more to the hog ball chopper than meets the eye. Always wondered about her divorce soon after she landed in DC. Yeah lets dig into her sordid past. And Grassley too.
…” The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, which will determine if Tennessee can ban transgender care for minors.”….
Haven’t listened yet. It’s 2 and 1/2 hrs. long.
“Transgender care?”
Let’s try again.
“Sexual molestation of a minor child.” Equals Felony.
Mutilation. Sexual Mutilation.

re. the NBC story about Pete Hegseth:
https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/france-government-no-confidence/2024/12/04/id/1190361/
FTA “French lawmakers on Wednesday voted to oust the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier after just three months in office, a historic move which plunged the country further into political chaos. For the first time in more than 60 years, the National Assembly lower house toppled the incumbent government, approving a no-confidence motion that had been proposed by the hard left but which crucially was backed by the far right headed by Marine Le Pen. Barnier’s rapid ejection from office comes after snap parliamentary elections this summer that resulted in a parliament where no party had an overall majority and Le Pen’s coalition holding the key to the government’s survival. President Emmanuel Macron now has the unenviable choice of picking a viable successor with more than two years of his presidential term left. Macron reportedly will address the nation on Thursday.
Macron is minded to appoint the new premier rapidly, several sources told AFP. It was the first successful no-confidence vote in France since a defeat for Georges Pompidou’s government in 1962, when Charles de Gaulle was president. The lifespan of Barnier’s government is also the shortest of any administration since the Fifth Republic began in 1958.”
The United Healthcare CEO just dropped. Knew this was coming. More bodies will pile up as D-day approaches. Depending upon the pace of the investigations, there will likely be several hundred more just in 2025. The field is vast.

“SURPRISE: Kash Patel Has Been ‘Hacked’ Just in Time to Try to Scuttle His Nomination”
Excerpt:
The FBI briefed him on the supposed intrusion in a conversation that I’d have loved to have been present for.
Kind of wild how the Iranians keep getting away with going after Donald Trump and those around him. It’s almost as if the federal government, which has a poisonous, appeasing relationship with the Islamist nation, isn’t trying very hard to stop them. But hey, at least they let Patel know after the fact, right?
https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/12/04/surprise-kash-patel-has-been-hacked-just-in-time-to-try-to-scuttle-his-nomination-n2182787
Step 1: Announce Kash Patel has been hacked by Iran.
Step 2: The FBI, who did the actually hacking, leaks the damaging stuff to the media.
Step 3: The media runs with the smears and Republicans in the Senate use that as an excuse to reject Kash.

JUST IN: Kash Patel, Trump’s pick to lead FBI, has been targeted in an Iranian hack & the actors have accessed at least some of his communications – CNN

“YIKES: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Makes Insane Argument Comparing Bans on Sex Changes for Children to Barring Interracial Marriage (AUDIO)”
Excerpts:
Jackson, though, decided to confront Tennessee Solicitor General Matt Rice, who was defending his state’s law with an insane argument. She brought up a long-ago case that dealt with the state of Virginia banning interracial marriage and somehow drew a parallel to gender reassignment surgery for children.
Yes, she compared immutable characteristics (race) and actual constitutional rights to mutilating innocent children. What an ignorant and demented person.
“The question was whether this was discriminatory because it applied to both races,” Jackson said. “But as I read the statute here, I mean the case here, it states that Virginia is one of the states that punishes marriages on the basis of race.”
“When you look at the structure of that law…You can’t do something that is inconsistent with your own characteristics; it looks like the same thing,” she added. “So, it’s now interesting that we have this different argument, and I wonder if Virginia could have gotten away with what they did here by making a classification argument the way Tennessee is in this case.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/yikes-justice-ketanji-brown-jackson-makes-insane-argument/
Let me quote Andrea Widberg from American Thinker:
“It’s long been clear that Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is a formidably stupid woman. And when I say stupid, I don’t just mean “leftist.” Justice Elana Kagan, for example, is a leftist, but she has an excellent brain hiding behind those bad values. Jackson, on the other hand, has a marginal intellect. She demonstrated this again today during oral arguments before the Supreme Court over the constitutionality of a Tennessee law that bans child mutilation.”
Remember==this is the imbecile who couldn’t define what a “woman” is. Frankly, just based on that, she should have recused herself from this case because if she can’t define “woman”, how in hell can she contemplate “trans gender”????
She’s trans-telligent dontcha know?
Well if it will help save innocent children from mutilation at the hands of evil people, I guess I will just have to divorce my wife for the cause.

UN seeks $47 billion in aid as donor appetite shrinks while crises multiply
https://www.reuters.com/world/un-seeks-47-billion-aid-donor-appetite-shrinks-while-crises-multiply-2024-12-04/
Summary
GENEVA, Dec 4 (Reuters) – The United Nations on Wednesday sought $47 billion in aid for 2025 to help around 190 million people fleeing conflict and battling starvation, at a time when this year’s appeal is not even half-funded and officials fear cuts from Western states including the top donor, the U.S.
Facing what the new U.N. aid chief Tom Fletcher describes as “an unprecedented level of suffering”, the U.N. hopes to reach people in 32 countries next year, including those in war-torn Sudan, Syria, Gaza and Ukraine.
“The world is on fire, and this is how we put it out,” Fletcher told reporters in Geneva.
“We need to reset our relationship with those in greatest need on the planet,” said Fletcher, a former British diplomat who started as head of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) last month.
The appeal is the fourth largest in OCHA’s history, but Fletcher said it leaves out some 115 million people whose needs the agency cannot realistically hope to fund:
“We’ve got to be absolutely focused on reaching those in the most dire need, and really ruthless.”
The U.N. cut its 2024 appeal to $46 billion from $56 billion the previous year as donor appetite faded, but it is still only 43% funded, one of the worst rates in history. Washington has given over $10 billion, about half the funds received.
Someone not from Florida, and used to be my Congressman
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I am pleased to announce that former Congressman Billy Long, of the Great State of Missouri, will be appointed to serve as the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Billy brings 32 years of experience running his own businesses in Real Estate and, as one of the premier Auctioneers in the Country. He then served 12 years in Congress, because he “felt it was important for his constituents to have a Representative who has signed the front of a check!”
Since leaving Congress, Billy has worked as a Business and Tax advisor, helping Small Businesses navigate the complexities of complying with the IRS Rules and Regulations. I have known Billy since 2011 – He is an extremely hard worker, and respected by all, especially by those who know him in Congress. Taxpayers and the wonderful employees of the IRS will love having Billy at the helm. He is the consummate “people person,” well respected on both sides of the aisle.
