The owner of an oil field in Los Angeles County is suing the state of California over a law that will require it to stop production and plug its wells or face costly fines. Inglewood Oil Field owner Sentinel Peak argues in the lawsuit, filed this week, that the law, which was signed in September by Gov. Gavin Newsom, is unconstitutional. Attorneys for Sentinel Peak argue that the law “represents an illegal attempt to coerce an individual company to stop operation of its legal business,” according to court documents. They allege that mandatory fines, in particular, violate federal and state laws forbidding excessive fines.
Barron Trump presents a striking image within the impressive Trump family. At 6’7″, he towers over his siblings and his parents.
Barron, 18, who started New York University this fall as a Freshman, had an important impact on his father’s presidential campaign.
The campaign took advice from Barron on what podcasts the elder Trump should take part in, appearances that garnered more than 80 million views.
Former Democrat megadonor John Morgan, who has left the party to become an independent, joined Fox News to discuss President Trump’s victory, the total implosion of the Harris campaign and praised the youngest Trump sibling.
The successful launch of India’s first long-range hypersonic missile and the first test of the 3,500km K-4 nuclear-capable ballistic missile from a submarine have put the spotlight on the country’s growing prowess in indigenously developing advanced weapon systems to strengthen the military’s capabilities. This includes achievements ranging from successfully testing the second phase of India’s ballistic missile defence system to developing the Agni-5 missile with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) technology, and from the first anti-radiation missile Rudram to the supersonic missile-assisted release of torpedo (SMART) system to target submarines at long ranges, officials aware of the matter said on Thursday.
They’re parading straight into custody.
Anti-Israel protesters tried to ruin the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the second year running Thursday, with cops quickly swarming in to gobble up roughly 25 arrests.
The firebrands entered the parade route at West 55th Street and Fifth Avenue, stopping the Ronald McDonald balloon in its tracks around 9:25 a.m., police said — and drawing loud jeers from parade-goers screaming at the killjoys to move.
Photos showed protesters sitting in the parade’s path, with some unfurling a large banner that read: “Don’t celebrate genocide!”
“Get the hell out of here,” a parade-goer yelled amid a chorus of boos from the crowd,
Russian President Vladimir Putin praised U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday as an experienced and intelligent politician, but said he did not believe Trump was safe after attempts on his life. [Snip] Speaking to reporters in Kazakhstan...said he had been shocked by the way the U.S. election campaign had unfolded. He cited "the absolutely uncivilised methods used to battle against Trump, up to and including an assassination attempt--and more than once". [Snip] ...he had been even more shocked though by how Trump's family and children had been criticised by political opponents during the U.S. election campaign.
Trump and Thanksgiving
replies
We’re always living in history, of course, but there are times when we’re more aware of it than usual. In the years after 9/11...America seemed increasingly adrift. Or, if not adrift, ...of being transported by some ungovernable current... [Snip] The advent of Trump was an eye-opener. [Snip] He was human. He was real. He wasn’t one of the careerist hacks we’d become used to when election time came around. He was a billionaire who’d dipped his toe into these dirty waters because he saw that America was headed in the wrong direction and realized that things were getting too urgent for him not to do anything about it.

President-elect Donald Trump wished everyone, including the “Radical Left Lunatics” a Happy Thanksgiving while trumpeting his landslide victory in this year’s election in a post Thursday morning.
“Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote on X.

Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff released a Thanksgiving message on Thursday morning and Harris was wearing the same outfit from her rambling drunk rant!
“Greetings everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving!” Kamala Harris said.
“Today we come together to reflect on what we are thankful for, and to share our appreciation for one another, surrounded by family, friends, and those we cherish,” Doug Emhoff said. “We cook our favorite recipes, we share our family stories, serve those in need, and give thanks for our blessings.”
Kamala Harris, “On Thanksgiving, we also express our gratitude as a nation for our service members and their families
What is happening in Britain today could all too easily happen here, and that’s why every American should note the rising tide of antisemitism there, and particularly its frankly and unapologetically menacing edge.
GB News reported Wednesday that “leaflets with the writing ‘every Zionist needs to leave Britain or be slaughtered’ were found spread around the streets of Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in north London.” The message itself was bad enough, but the fact that it has gotten so little attention was a disquieting indication of how much antisemitism has already become normalized amidst the left’s relentless propaganda campaign to isolate and demonize Israel
President Trump can undo much of the damage from the Biden regime’s nightmarish last four years shortly after he takes the Oath on January 20th. The President’s reliance on executive orders will supplement a robust Republican led coalition in both chambers of Congress, providing multiple instruments for the 47th President to implement his bold policy agenda.
Ever since his resounding victory, a litany of executive orders – ranging from sweeping tariffs on foreign imports to bans on transgender persons in the military to seismic reforms of the Executive Branch – have been proposed.
These initiatives will all help President Trump hit the ground running from day one,
When sitting down at the dinner table this Thanksgiving, soak in the scents of hot gravy, the sight of dear friends and family, and the cinnamon goodness of a nice pumpkin pie slice. Be appreciative of all that surrounds you, the visible and, especially, the invisible.
Much like Christmas, the reason for the season is the spirit of Christ and his sacrifices for us. Yet, as America and its families become more secular, Thanksgiving’s Christian origins have been less prominent and forgotten.

The United Nations has long been a fixture of New York City, headquartered on Manhattan’s East Side. While the UN was founded on noble principles -- to promote peace, security, and cooperation -- its presence in the U.S. has come at a significant cost to taxpayers, New Yorkers, and our national priorities.
As we approach the 80th anniversary of the 1947 Headquarters Agreement, which established the legal framework granting the UN privileges and immunities necessary for its operations
An Ontario town has been fined $10,000 and its officials ordered to complete mandatory “human rights” training after it refused to celebrate Pride Month. Emo is a township of about 1,300 people located in the far west of Ontario, along the border with Minnesota. In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that Emo, its mayor and two of its councillors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by refusing to proclaim June as “Pride Month.” The town was also cited for failing to fly “an LGBTQ2 rainbow flag,” despite the fact that they don’t have an official flag pole.
BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard have been sued by Texas and 10 other Republican-led states, which said the large asset managers violated antitrust law through climate activism that resulted in reduced coal production and boosted energy prices.
Wednesday’s complaint filed in the federal court in Tyler, Texas, is among the highest profile lawsuits targeting efforts to promote environmental, social and governance goals, or ESG.
The defendants were accused of exploiting their market power and involvement in climate advocacy groups to pressure coal companies to slash output and reduce carbon emissions from coal by more than 50% by 2030, driving up consumers’ utility bills.
French company TotalEnergies has halted development of its planned offshore wind farm off the coast of New York following the victory of president-elect Donald Trump, who has vowed to kill such projects on day one of his second term.
“In offshore wind, I decided to put the project on pause, because all the offshore wind projects are in Democratic states . . . we’ll see better in four years,” TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne said at an energy industry conference in London on Tuesday, according to Bloomberg News. “The advantage is that it’s only for four years.”
The chief executive indicates that the energy firm could potentially revive
The Bullet We Dodged
replies
After dodging a bullet, Donald Trump was reelected president. In a larger sense, the entire nation dodged a bullet. The Democrats were soundly defeated, losing not only the presidency, but also the House and the Senate. Their sinister authoritarian, internationalist, socialist vision, with its wholehearted embrace of madness, deviance, and perversion, has been thoroughly rejected. And while it’s certainly a time for celebration, we aren’t out of the woods yet.
The left hasn’t given up. In fact, aside from their wailing and hysteria over Trump’s victory, many of their leading figures have been eerily quiet, and that can mean only one thing: they’re up to something,
Mexico’s president said this week that migrant caravans are no longer heading to the United States, as she responded to a renewed tariff threat issued by President-elect Donald Trump.
In a letter that she sent to Trump that was emailed to The Epoch Times by the Mexican Embassy in the United States on Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wrote that “migrant caravans [will] no longer arrive at the border,” adding that Mexico has taken efforts to curb the flow of drugs such as fentanyl.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a list of threats and boasts in a speech Thursday morning, saying strikes by Ukraine into Russia using Western missiles will “of course” be answered, with Ukrainian “decision-making centres in Kyiv” as a potential target.
The United States permitted Ukraine to strike into Russia using American-supplied weapons against Moscow’s warnings this would escalate the conflict and the warning of a single launch of an experimental new weapon by Russia has been ignored, President Vladimir Putin complained on Thursday morning.
The late conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh delivered his final annual rendition of the true story of Thanksgiving in November 2020. Thanksgiving 2024 marks the fourth year that Americans go without his beloved tradition, but many are still keeping the tradition alive, ensuring that the youngest generations know what actually happened and what Thanksgiving is truly a celebration of.
Limbaugh delivered his final rendition November 24, 2020, and during that — when he was in the midst of battling advanced-stage lung cancer — he noted that the “True Story of Thanksgiving” is spreading. “And I couldn’t be happier about that. Bottom line: It is spreading.
As Vice President Kamala Harris considers her next move after her brutal presidential election defeat, she could face a well-known opponent should she run for governor.
The defeated Democratic presidential nominee is reportedly mulling a bid for governor in her home state of California as she prepares to leave office in January.
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is term-limited, so the governor seat will be open in 2026. But celebrity Caitlyn Jenner, a well-known Trump supporter, is also hinting at a bid for governor.
'If I ran, and it was ultimately against Harris, I would destroy her,' the transgender former Olympian wrote on X.
An anonymous MSNBC employee sounded off to Fox News on Wednesday, the outlet claims, after MSNBC said they were “unaware” of a $500,000 donation Kamala Harris’s campaign made to MSNBC employee Al Sharpton’s nonprofit. “Everybody knows who Al Sharpton is… but this feels like a bridge too far. A big bridge too far… This is not landing well,” the unnamed insider told the outlet. The Harris campaign donated $500,ooo to Sharpton’s National Action Network before the pair sat down for a friendly interview, The Washington Free Beacon reported, citing campaign finance documents.
A “combative” interview with Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong was abruptly ended this week when the reporter asked about Soon-Shiong’s decision to name CNN contributor Scott Jennings, a conservative supporter of president-elect Donald Trump, to the paper’s new editorial board. (Snip) Earlier in the conversation, Soon-Shiong told Darcy that the new editorial board would represent “all voices,” and include “some truly critical thinkers” and “thoughtful people” who “voice opinion based on the facts.”
On Tuesday, the Times’ owner welcomed Jennings to the board in a tweet that read, “Growing the board with experts who have thoughtful balanced views
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum quickly poured cold water on Donald Trump's claim he secured the 'immediate' end of migrants crossing the southern border - insisting instead that her country will 'not close borders.'
Sheinbaum contradicted the president-elect just hours after he announced on Truth Social the two world leaders had a 'wonderful' conversation that resulted in 'effectively closing our Southern Border.'
She countered: 'In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights.
“I think part of the reason Obama wasn’t careful is because he sort of lives in words. That’s been his whole professional life — books, speeches. Say something, and it magically exists as something said, and if it’s been said and publicized, it must be real.”

A child’s earliest speech is a magic charm. It is directed toward forcing the external world, parents, and fate to do those things that have been conjured up in sounds and words. Charm may have its origin in the smile response that occurs normally at three or four months of human development.
