Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sued House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and the members of the House Select Committee on the January 6 Capitol riot on Wednesday. The suit asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block enforcement of a committee subpoena for Meadows as well as a subpoena for Verizon to obtain Meadows’s phone records. The nine-member committee is investigating the lead-up to the riot, during which supporters of former president Trump breached the Capitol during the certification of the Electoral College results. “For months, Mr. Meadows has consistently sought in good faith to pursue an accommodation

Of Orchestrating Fake Hate Crime Against Himself 23 replies
Chicago — Former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was convicted on five counts Thursday evening on charges he orchestrated a fake hate crime against himself nearly three years ago, while jurors acquitted him of one other count.
A jury of six men and six women deliberated more than nine hours over two days before finding Smollett guilty of five of six counts of disorderly conduct, accusing the actor of staging a fake racist and homophobic attack against himself in January 2019, and then lying to police about it, in a bid for publicity. Jurors found him not guilty of the sixth count of disorderly conduct.
A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that former President Donald Trump cannot prevent the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack from getting hundreds of documents created when he was in the White House.
Trump's lawyers will most likely now file an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court in an effort to block the release. They will have 14 days to file the appeal.
Lawyers for the House said the committee needs the records "to complete a thorough investigation into how the actions of the former president, his advisers, and other government officials may have contributed to the attack on Congress to impede the peaceful transfer of presidential power."

Spring, in Person’ 14 replies
Kyle Rittenhouse says he will be attending Arizona State University (ASU) in the spring 2022 semester, and that he will be going “in person.” His announcement comes just days after a firestorm of protest by campus leftists at the thought of Rittenhouse attending virtual classes.
The news that Kyle Rittenhouse plans to attend ASU comes after the university appeased leftists by stating, “Kyle Rittenhouse has not gone through the ASU admissions process,” adding, “University records show that he is not currently enrolled in any classes at ASU.”
Is the election of a second Donald Trump administration in the cards for 2024? If the latest Harvard-Harris poll is any indication, it just might be.
Producing results that will have lefties waking up in cold sweats, the poll shows that Trump leads current president Joe Biden 48 percent to 45 percent in a hypothetical rematch. It also shows that Trump’s leadership in the White House is preferred by four points.
But while few really believe Biden has the capacity to run again three years from now, Trump also beats Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg by a large amount in this same poll.
The Senate voted Wednesday to repeal a President Biden-backed federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses.
The final vote was 52-48. Moderate Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana joined Republicans to vote in favor of the repeal.
Even with Senate approval, the GOP-backed resolution is unlikely to overturn the mandate. The Democrat-controlled House is not expected to take up the measure and President Biden would likely veto the bill if it cleared Congress.
Republicans brought the repeal to the Senate floor under the "Congressional Review Act," which allows Congress to review presidential executive orders.

Seems significant.
Cases have been reported by 21 countries in the EU/EEA: Austria (15), Belgium (14), Croatia (3), Czechia (2), Denmark (83), Estonia (6), Finland (9), France (32), Germany (15), Greece (3), Iceland (12), Ireland (1), Italy (11), Latvia (2), Liechtenstein (1), the Netherlands (36), Norway (29), Portugal (34), Romania (2), Spain (11), and Sweden (13) according to information from public sources. Two new EU/EEA countries (Estonia and Liechtenstein) has reported the Omicron variant and a number of probable cases are currently under investigation in several countries…
Heather Mac Donald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and among the nation’s foremost statisticians of crime, blasted current criminal justice reform policies which signal to criminals that even “appalling, savage” crimes have no consequences, calling the narrative of minorities under threat from police in America a “completely false” one perpetuated by the Biden administration and the media, while warning that “civilization is breaking down” as the country undergoes a “slow-motion riot.”
In an interview with Steve Malzberg on his weekly commentary show Eat the Press, Mac Donald, who is also a New York Times best-selling author, addressed the rise in officers killed this year
Young Democrat voters are “more likely to despise the other party,” a poll released by Axios on Tuesday found.
According to the report, Democrats are “far more likely to dismiss people than Republicans.” The poll found that 71 percent of Democrats would not go on a date with someone who holds opposing views, 37 percent would not be friends with a Republican, and 30 percent would not work for someone with a different voting history.
“Why it matters: Partisan divides — as each side inhabits parallel political, cultural and media universes —make a future of discord and distrust in the U.S. all the more likely,”
According to a new poll by the Wall Street Journal, Latino voters are evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans heading into next year’s election. Asked which party they would back in the midterms if the election were today, 37 percent said they would support the Republican congressional candidate and 37 percent said they would favor the Democrat. 22 percent said they were undecided.
Last year, Latinos gave Democratic House candidates more than 60 percent of their vote, according to polls at the time. Even if those who are currently undecided were to vote overwhelming for Democrats next year, the Dem vote would still fall short of 60 percent.
A Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 booster shot appears to provide strong protection against the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccine may be insufficient to prevent infection, the companies announced Wednesday.
Their findings, along with data from separate lab studies, confirm that the new variant is more skilled at sidestepping immune protection provided by existing vaccines than previous strains, but the extent of its abilities to evade the body's defenses remains unclear as further studies are still needed, health experts say.
Pfizer and BioNTech said laboratory test results show the third dose of their vaccine provides neutralizing antibodies against omicron

Finland’s prime minister said she’s sorry for partying it up without a mask at a club just hours after a member of her cabinet tested positive for COVID-19.
Sanna Marin, 36, apologized on Facebook on Monday for dancing with friends until about 4 a.m. at Butchers nightclub in Helsinki, where photos reportedly show the world leader not wearing a mask after Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto came down positive for the virus.
Marin and Haavisto had been in close proximity just a day earlier, Bloomberg reported.
In a lengthy Facebook post, Marin said she was told she didn’t need to isolate because she had been fully vaccinated,

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday that people might need a fourth Covid-19 shot sooner than expected after preliminary research shows the new omicron variant can undermine protective antibodies generated by the vaccine the company developed with BioNTech.
Pfizer and BioNTech released results from an initial lab study Wednesday morning that showed a third shot is effective at fighting the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccination series dropped significantly in its ability to protect against the new strain. However, the two-dose series likely still offers protection against getting severely sick from omicron, the companies said.(Snip)Bourla previously projected that a fourth shot would be needed
The definition of fully vaccinated in the United States will be changed, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday.
“It’s going to be a matter of when, not if,” Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during an appearance on CNN.
Fully vaccinated at present refers to a person receiving two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson jab.
DAVIS, Calif. — Banana peels, chicken bones and leftover veggies won't have a place in California trashcans under the nation's largest mandatory residential food waste recycling program that's set to take effect in January. The effort is designed to keep landfills in the most populous U.S. state clear of food waste that damages the atmosphere as it decays. When food scraps and other organic materials break down they emit methane, a greenhouse gas more potent and damaging in the short-term than carbon emissions from fossil fuels. To avoid those emissions, California plans to start converting residents' food waste into compost or
Hillary Clinton needs to move on

Hillary Clinton lost, and now she needs to move on from the 2016 election.
I’m not trying to be cruel or twist the knife. I mean this with all sincerity. She just needs to move on for her own good. The constant reliving of her failed campaign against former President Donald Trump is unhealthy.
She’s clearly still upset about it. She’s clearly still angry. But she’ll never recover from her defeat so long as she continues to wallow in it, relentlessly poring over every excruciating detail. She’ll certainly never recover if she continues in both word and deed to define herself by her failed campaign.

phasing out D, F grades for high school students 33 replies
Some of California's largest school districts are trying an unconventional tactic to help students re-engage in school after distance learning and boost their chances of acceptance into the state's public colleges: by dropping D and F grades. Los Angeles Unified [snip] and other districts are phasing out grades below a C for high school students. The idea is to encourage students to learn the course material and not be derailed by a low grade that could potentially disqualify them from admission to the University of California and California State University.

Should people be punted from parties if their pigment is paltry?
Such a question’s currently being publicly posed at a private liberal arts school in Pennsylvania.
A December 2nd op-ed at Swarthmore College boasts a titillating title: “Should We Be Kicking White People Out of Parties?”
Writer Sameer Halepoto notes that Caucasians are crowding soirees.
And when whites are out and about, others are put out:

Three senior White House officials have embarked on a campaign to persuade newsroom executives to be more favorable in their coverage of President Joe Biden, according to a report on Tuesday night.The trio - National Economic Council Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari - have been 'briefing major newsrooms over the past week,' according to CNN's media correspondent, Oliver Darcy. Darcy, in his newsletter, said that their outreach was sparked by concern that Biden was not being treated fairly.
They were trying to embellish their lovely lady humps. More than 40 camels were booted from a Saudi Arabian beauty pageant after getting administered Botox, hormones and other appearance enhancing techniques. This marks the biggest crackdown in the contest’s history. “The club is keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels,” the Saudi Press Agency said of the dromedary disqualification which occurred at the annual Abdulaziz Camel Festival, near Riyadh, where breeders compete for some nearly $66 million in prize money, the Washington Post reported. The camels themselves are judged on the shape of their heads, necks, humps, dress and postures

Yes, Joe Biden is far and away the worst president in the history of the United States. However, the four-year Trump interlude between Obama and Biden gave the U.S. at least a little resiliency to stand against Biden’s hard-left administration. Imagine how much worse things would have been if Hillary had immediately stepped into Obama’s shoes. America wouldn’t have stood a chance. And lest you forget just what a horrible human being Hillary was, she just gave us a reminder as she spoke with Today’s Willie Geist about her decision to read her “victory speech” aloud for a MasterClass.
