Well, look at that.
Far-left Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon has been dropped by United Talent Agency (UTA) in the wake of her predictable outrageous antisemitic comments about how "a lot of people [are] afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country."
The lack of moral equivalence in Sarandon's comparison was ignorantly profound, but let's move on.
First, as we reported earlier on Tuesday, conservative Indian American author Asra Nomani, born in India to Muslim parents,
In an unprecedented vote early Wednesday morning, Israel’s cabinet approved an agreement to secure the release of roughly 50 hostages who were abducted into Gaza during the October 7 terror onslaught.
A government statement announcing the result of the vote did not specify how ministers voted. Despite expressing earlier opposition to the agreement, the far-right Religious Zionism party voted in favor, with only members of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit faction voting against, according to Hebrew media.
Not all details of the agreement have been formally released to the public, but an Israeli government official briefing reporters on Tuesday said
Tucker Carlson on Tuesday evening brought the house down as he headlined the RiskOn360! Global Success Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tucker walked out on stage to a roaring crowd.
He immediately began his speech by telling the audience he spent his flight across the country Tuesday morning text with people.
“I gotta tell you, every single person I texted with, with the exception of my wife who’s not on the internet at all was angry and paranoid. Seriously. And these are not crazy people. These are normal, good people with kids and stuff,” Tucker said.
A man whose resume cites experience as a foreign policy advisor under President Barack Obama has been revealed to be a man in a series of videos spewing Islamaphobic abuse.
Gotham Government Relations, a New York-based firm, 'ended all affiliation' with Stuart Seldowitz, 64, over the videos.
In an October interview, he was identified as having worked as Deputy Director/Senior Political Officer in the U.S. State Department's Office of Israel and Palestinian Affairs from 1999 to 2003, according to BitChute.

A social media firestorm erupted over President Biden's fiery birthday cake that was lit with 81 candles.
Biden continued making history Monday, marking another year as the oldest sitting American president at the age of 81.
A photo was posted on the president's X account featuring his flaming treat that was immediately burned by social media users for its "carbon emissions" and being a "fire hazard" given the amount of candles. (Snip) (X Video)
Joe Biden, in his ineffable fashion, managed to mess up the turkey-pardoning ceremony yesterday, confusing Taylor Swift with Britney Spears.
But to listen to Joe Scarborough today, you can imagine the Morning Joe host fretting that if Donald Trump were re-elected, he would replace turkey pardoning with an Execution o' the Week ceremony!
We've oft documented, as here, poor Scarborough's fascism fetish when it comes to describing Trump. Joe's mania reached a crescendo today, as variations on that f-word were deployed no fewer than 25 times in the show's first 17 minutes.
The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed a top prosecutor in Special Counsel David Weiss’ Hunter Biden probe on Tuesday.
House Judiciary Chairman and Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan sent a letter to Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf Tuesday notifying her that she is required to come before the committee for a deposition Dec. 7, according to the letter. Jordan said the committee was seeking Wolf’s testimony because her “critical role” in the Hunter Biden investigation can help advance the committee’s ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

ATLANTA— The Georgia judge overseeing the election subversion case against former President Donald Trump and others declined a request to revoke the bond of one of the defendants but did impose stricter bond conditions after prosecutors complained about his social media posts that mentioned witnesses and co-defendants.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis made a rare appearance in the courtroom to argue for the revocation of the bond of Harrison Floyd, who was a leader in the organization Black Voices for Trump. Floyd was one of 18 people accused along with the former president of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally try to overturn the 2020 election.

Eyes turned toward Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as his “mentee” was hit with a decades-long prison sentence in child pornography charges related to more than 500 victims.
“Any comment?” (Video) Patrick Wojahn, the disgraced former mayor of College Park, Maryland, having pled guilty to 140 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography, was sentenced to 30 years in prison Monday. The sentence, that had been whittled down from an original 150 years by Prince George’s County Circuit Judge Karen H. Mason, quickly became an indictment of the convict’s oft-touted mentor.
Joe Biden's one event on Tuesday was a meeting on "progress made to counter the flow of fentanyl into the United States."
Most of these meetings/events seem to be thinly designed campaign promotions. The fentanyl problem has only gotten worse under Biden. But listen as Biden tries to tell us how much he's doing. Where are the results? He's also heavily slurring throughout these remarks. (X Video) What we see is the people flowing across the border in record numbers and the cartels getting rich, all because Biden wouldn't properly secure the border.
The country is headed in a very bad direction because the future of the Democratic Party is far more sympathetic to terrorists than the current iteration.
Most of the polling on Israel and Hamas offers reasons to be optimistic about the state of the country. Even with the partisan divisions that wreak havoc on other topics, most of the country is uniformly on the side of Israel after it has once again been attacked by antisemitic terrorists. But young Democrats are not, with 69% of those under the age of 35 disapproving of President Joe Biden supporting Israel’s right to defend itself in the face of Hamas's murderous Oct. 7 attack.
Sonya Labosco, Director of the Air Marshalls National Council said Air Marshalls are quietly following Americans who flew into the DC area around January 6, 2021.
Labosco said Air Marshalls are no longer going after terrorists or the bad guys because they are now stalking and following every single person who flew into the DC area around January 2021 even if they did not go to the US Capitol.
“We’re not flying right now. The only missions that we are doing are ‘Quiet Skies’ missions and those are missions that are following the January 2021 people,” Labosco said. “So we’re either on the border for illegal immigrants or we’re
Low-income New Yorkers living in public housing say newly arrived migrants have been first in line for free turkeys ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, as public resources are strained from illegal immigration.
According to local reports and interviews, New Yorkers living in public housing are competing against tens of thousands of newly arrived migrants to New York City when it comes to meals this Thanksgiving.
“Why do we have to take the butt of everything,” New Yorker Georgia Butler told FOX5 New York in an interview. “This community is already suffering.”
Doctors who tried to save the life of President John F Kennedy after he was shot in 1963 said they believed there was 'more than one shooter' in interviews that are set to air for the first time.
The medics spoke out in 2013 but the footage was kept under wraps for a decade.
It will feature in new documentary JFK Assassination: What Happened in the Trauma Room?, which airs on Channel 5 on Sunday.
Several doctors who were in the emergency room when former President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 raised serious doubts about the official narrative that says a lone gunman was responsible, according to a new documentary featuring interviews conducted in 2013.
The federal Warren Commission established that two shots fired by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, who was located in the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, struck President Kennedy from behind as he was traveling in a motorcade in Dallas. One of the bullets entered his upper back and exited near his larynx, while the second bullet entered the right

House Republicans are demanding answers from Special Counsel David Weiss’s top deputy in the Justice Department’s criminal probe of Hunter Biden.
On Tuesday, GOP House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio formally subpoenaed Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf to appear before lawmakers on Dec. 7.
“Information available to the Committee suggests that you — either directly or by instructing others — are responsible for many of the decisions to deviate from standard investigative protocol during the Department’s investigation of Hunter Biden,” (snip)Documents(snip)reveal that Wolf “demanded investigators remove any references to Joe Biden from a search warrant related to a Hunter Biden Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) probe,”
The Department of Defense (DOD) is requesting approximately $114 million to finance its latest round of diversity initiatives.
The DOD plans to use the funds for "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility" (DEIA) programs in fiscal year 2024.
"The FY 2024 President’s Budget request demonstrates the DoD’s commitment to DEIA and includes $114.7 million for dedicated diversity and inclusion activities," the department wrote in its Strategic Management Plan for fiscal year 2022 to 2026.
Truism here: You’ve always got to watch out for the female of the species. The face presented to you does not always faithfully represent what’s going on inside the skull it’s draped over.
Take, for instance, a gamin, freckle-faced, tomboyish teen who looks so wispy a wee wind could blow her over. You could picture her at a county fair helping in the pie judging booth, or maybe she raised a champion Guernsey. Or perhaps she always rakes the leaves from your elderly neighbors’ yard for them, after she makes sure the Junior Girl Scouts selling cookies that weekend get safely across the street.
You know someone like her.
Or…I hope you don’t.
If Senate Democrats plan to subpoena conservative judicial activists as part of a Supreme Court ethics investigation, Republicans say they must go after liberal advocates the same way.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) has sought to authorize subpoenas for influential conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, defending the subpoenas as necessary after the pair's “defensive, dismissive refusals” to cooperate with a congressional investigation. Now, Republicans have proposed more than 150 additional subpoenas to broaden an investigation they say is one-sided against conservative justices on the high court.
An official on Maryland’s Commission on Hate Crime Response compared Israel to Nazi Germany in a series of social-media posts and claimed that reports of Hamas murdering Jewish babies were “fake.”
Zainab Chaudry is the Maryland director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and was appointed to the hate-crime commission by Maryland attorney general Anthony Brown in August. Made up of 20 stakeholder representatives, the group is designed to “develop strategies to prevent and respond to hate crime activity and evaluate state laws and policies relating to hate crimes.” The commission’s first annual report to the General Assembly is slated for December 2024 and will detail recommendations
Over the weekend, Elon Musk said he plans to file a “thermonuclear lawsuit” against Media Matters for America, a left-wing propaganda shop whose sole reason for existing is to churn out deceptive, fake studies designed to pressure large firms to pull advertising from media outlets and platforms that don’t toe the leftist line.
That’s precisely what Media Matters did last week when it released a bogus “report” alleging that X, formerly Twitter, runs ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity next to “pro-Nazi content.” Sure enough, after this report was published Thursday, Apple, IBM, and a bunch of other companies fell for the scam
A museum is to relabel its display about a Roman emperor after concluding that he was in fact a trans woman. North Hertfordshire Museum will now refer to emperor Elagabalus with the female pronouns of she and her. It comes after classical texts claim the emperor once said "call me not Lord, for I am a Lady". A museum spokesperson said it was "only polite and respectful to be sensitive to identifying pronouns for people in the past". The museum has one coin of Elagabalus, which is often displayed amongst other LGBTQ+items in its collection. It said it consulted LGBTQ+
Social media platform X hit United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres with a community note that countered a claim he made about the deaths in the Gaza Strip as Israel continues its offensive against Hamas. The official U.N. News account on X posted several quotes from Guterres’s press conference on Monday, when he insisted, "We are witnessing a killing of civilians that is unparalleled and unprecedented in any conflict since I have been Secretary-General."
The post received a community note, which allows users to provide additional context for "posts that might be misleading," pointing to at least two conflicts with significant death tolls either equal to or above

This is going to keep happening to American media outlets when they hire local freelancers to cover the Israel-Hamas war. Joseph Wulfsohn at Fox News reported that Marwat Al-Azza, a freelance producer in East Jerusalem for NBC News, was arrested by Israeli authorities Thursday "on suspicion of inciting terrorism and identifying with a terrorist organization." The Jerusalem Post reported Saturday that Al-Azza was taken into custody in response to her social media posts about the October 7 slaughter by Hamas. "These are very serious offenses during a time of declared war when the respondent lives and makes a living in the same country that is under attack
Illegal alien criminals, child traffickers, and potential terrorists violating our laws to cross the southern U.S. border get all kinds of moolah and freebies. But if you’re an American soldier who put everything on the line to defend your country, Uncle Sam would apparently like a thousand bucks for that gear you were told you COULDN’T bring out of Afghanistan. It has seemed fairly obvious, especially since the disastrous withdrawal that left thousands of Americans and allies stranded in the hellhole of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, that the Biden administration hates our military. Congressmen were exempted from the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates,
Eric Adams ran for office on a public-safety platform two years ago. His crime record is mixed, but public safety isn’t just crime: E-bike and e-scooter battery-fire deaths are reaching “staggering” levels, his fire commissioner says. So it’s not good the unrelated corruption suspicions swirling around the mayor involve . . . pressuring the FDNY to ignore safety rules, rules that inconvenienced donors and their friends. The familiar story unfolded again last week: A powerful fire obliterated a Brooklyn brownstone.
Binance CEO Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao plans to plead guilty to money laundering as part of a deal with the Department of Justice that will see the crypto exchange pay $4.3billion to end the criminal probe against the company.
The founder of the world's largest crypto currency exchange also plans to step down from the company, sources told the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. However, he reportedly plans to maintain majority ownership. Binance, owned by Zhao, will also reportedly plead guilty to a criminal charge and agree to the hefty $4.3billion fine, which includes amounts to settle civil suits made by regulators against the company.
A private university professor has resigned after saying she would be “tempted to shoot up” dance parties like Hamas terrorists did on Oct. 7 — later whining about being a victim because horrified school officials did not defend her. Wake Forest University Professor Laura Mullen sparked outrage with a since-deleted social media post just days after Hamas’ surprise attack killed around 1,200 people, including hundreds at the Supernova Music Festival.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) We talk a lot about the acute political divide in this country these days, but let's face it: it isn't just politics that divides us now. I've spent most of my adult life in the entertainment industry, surrounded by liberals. There was a lot of common ground to be found for most of those years.
Then Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
Since then, it's seemed as if there's a Planet Right and a Planet Left, and they aren't even in the same universe. That's not always the case —
Billionaire Elon Musk warned conservative media assassin Media Matters for America (MMFA) he'd sue the "news" outlet for not just lying about his Twitter/X platform, but for the mendacious way the George Soros-bankrolled website manipulated data to depict it as a racist outlet that is a "risky and unsafe platform for advertisers." On Friday, Musk issued the threat to go "thermonuclear" on the outlet and "their board, their donors, their network of dark money, all of them," and by Monday afternoon had detonated a 15-page lawsuit filed in Texas federal court (read it below). Musk's lawsuit claims that MMFA, "undeterred by truth," went beyond its "twenty articles and counting"

Billionaire Elon Musk says “X,” formerly known as Twitter, will suspend any user who calls for the genocide of Jewish communities.
“Yes, decolonization” necessarily implies a Jewish genocide, thus it is unacceptable to any reasonable person,” Musk tweeted on Nov. 15 in agreement with a tweet of editor and Manhattan Institute Fellow Colin Wright discussing the origin of the term.
Musk was responding to a comment he made earlier last week when he said that the term “decolonization” implied Jewish genocide.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into Media Matters following allegations of “potential fraudulent activity” related to its reports attacking Elon Musk’s X/Twitter.
The Texas Tribune reports that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an investigation into Media Matters, the leftist media watchdog group, for alleged “potential fraudulent activity.” This move comes in the wake of accusations by X/Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who claimed the group manipulated data on the social media platform. The controversy began after Media Matters published a report accusing X/Twitter of displaying advertisements from prominent companies next to “white nationalist hashtags.” Musk, however, contended that the watchdog group grossly misrepresented
Hamas negotiators are in the final stages of striking a deal that would include the release of at least 50 hostages in exchange for a pause in fighting, the chief of the terrorist group said on Tuesday.

An internal memorandum circulated among lawmakers by Senate Commerce Committee Republicans highlights how the Biden administration is tying billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to "woke initiatives." The memo, first obtained by Fox News Digital, was sent late Monday evening and spearheaded by Commerce Committee Ranking Member Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who is planning to author legislation that would prohibit the Department of Transportation (DOT) from tying federal funds to left-wing priorities. It particularly targets DOT's management of three grant programs that serve as key vehicles to fund various types of surface transportation projects nationwide.
Donald Trump’s personal physician released the former president’s medical report Monday, saying the leading GOP presidential candidate's performance on cognitive exams was "exceptional” and that he had lost weight due to an improved diet.

The relationship between the POTUS and the VPOTUS can be a fickle thing.
Sometimes things start out well enough but end badly, as they did with former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence.
Other times, things sputter and struggle to even start out well, as with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
And then there’s whatever is going on between former President Barack Obama and Biden, who served as the former’s VP in both presidential terms.
Pro-Palestinian protesters descended on the Yale Bowl on Saturday, but a few counter-protesters were also on hand.
While a larger pro-Hamas protest broke out during the third quarter, there were other displays around the stadium, both pro-Hamas and pro-Israel across the stadium. The pro-Hamas supporters chanted “free Palestine,” and “ceasefire now,” “ed the occupation,” and other slogans while waiving the green, white, red, and black Palestinian flag. Many of these Ivy League students were also wearing the black and white-checked keffiyeh in solidarity with the terror group that killed more than a thousand Israeli civilians on October 7.

No, my bingo card did not have Generation Z embracing the wit and wisdom of Osama bin Laden, but it probably should have.
Osama bin Laden‘s ravings about how Israel is bad and America is worse, or vice versa, have hit a chord among recently-born TikTok viewers. Osama’s Been Litup’s rants have it all – claims of nefarious Jewish influence, complaints about evil capitalists, and whining like a little girl about Americans and Israelis fighting back against sociopathic Jihadi scum**** who go on murder sprees. This nonsense is supposed to provide “context” for 9/11, and to have further applicability to the current elimination of Hamas.
Just as Democrats were trying to downplay the rampant antisemitism in their ranks, what happens? Elon Musk, who has lately become something of a darling on the right, suddenly becomes the poster boy for antisemitism. This is how the left works.
This latest twist started when Media Matters — the George Soros-backed media “watchdog” — released a report claiming that ads for major corporations were appearing next to antisemitic and white supremacist content.
This is a two-fer for the left. It both attacks Musk — whom the left now hates because he stopped Twitter’s side hustle as the federal government censor — and it takes the spotlight off the left’s virulent antisemitism
Equality has always been an American preoccupation, right from the words “all men are created equal” in the Declaration of Independence.
And even that phrase is not egalitarian enough by today’s lights — feminists have long objected to the gendered language of “all men.”
Thomas Jefferson didn’t mean to commit a microaggression: In 1776, “all men” meant women, too.
We know that because the Founding Fathers — must we say Founding Parents? — argued about the mismatch between their philosophy and the endemic inequalities of their time,
Hamas used Gaza City’s Shifa hospital as a base of terror operations. That’s the obvious conclusion following Sunday’s discovery of a large terror tunnel under the hospital along with videos of Hamas bringing Israeli hostages inside.
Now comes an important question for Congress: Which US-funded international organizations knew the truth about Shifa and helped Hamas conceal its war crimes?
The Israel Defense Forces this weekend discovered a tunnel beneath Shifa hospital that extends 10 meters down and 55 meters across — leading to what might be a booby-trapped door. Special units that specialize in handling explosives have been summoned to break through to the next section.
There really is a sense of a new era beginning in Dutch politics in Wednesday's snap parliamentary election.

Last Friday Elon Musk threated to sue Media Matters over its report about ads appearing next to neo-Nazi content.
