Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-OK, introduced a pair of bills that would restrict the federal government’s ability to use taxpayer money to fund abortions. “The Hyde Amendment was first enacted in 1976 and has prevented taxpayer funds for abortions,” the bill states. [Snip] “Following the historic Dobbs decision, the Biden administration has deliberately ignored federal law in order to pursue its far-left, pro-abortion agenda--all without the authority of Congress,” Brecheen stated in an interview with The Daily Signal. “These bills are needed to fight back against the Biden administration’s war against life.”
The vehicle explosion that occurred near a U.S.-Canada border crossing Thursday afternoon is not believed to be the result of terrorism, New York governor Kathy Hochul said early Wednesday evening.
Two passengers are reported dead after a vehicle exploded near the Rainbow Bridge border crossing separating the United States from Canada. A border agent was also reportedly injured in the attack.
Sources told Reuters that it is now likely believed that the blast was the result of reckless driving, contrary to earlier assessments of a terrorist attack initially reported by Fox News.
The start of a short-term cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that will allow for the release of some hostages held in Gaza, the release of Palestinians being held by Israel and for more humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip has been delayed until Friday, an Israeli official said.
"The contacts on the release of our hostages are advancing and continuing constantly. The start of the release will take place according to the original agreement between the sides, and not before Friday," Israeli National Security Council Director Tzachi Hanegbi said Wednesday in a statement. The release of hostages, along with a four-day cease-fire, was originally set to begin Thursday morning.
The head of the Never Back Down super PAC that has been pushing Ron DeSantis' presidential candidacy resigned shortly before Thanksgiving in the latest sign of turmoil amid the candidate's poll challenges.
Chris Jankowski, the CEO of the PAC that has been footing the bill for much of DeSantis' bus travel around key battleground states, stepped down Wednesday, days after a group of other DeSantis allies announced the creation of a separate PAC, called Fight Right Inc.
The move follows an account of vicious infighting between factions of DeSantis backers, NBC reported.
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has endorsed Arizona Republican Kari Lake in her bid for U.S. Senate, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
“This election is the most consequential; the Senate Majority runs through Arizona. I am proud to endorse Kari Lake for United States Senate in Arizona,” Mills said in a statement shared with Breitbart News. (Photo) Mills hailed Lake, a former Fox 10 Phoenix anchor, as “a proven fighter and mom on a mission.”
Lake seeks the GOP nomination to advance to what is shaping up to be a potential three-way general election race. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), who defected from the Democrat Party in December 2022, has
Far left-wing actor John Leguizamo torched Univision for its recent “cozy interview” with former President Donald Trump in an op ed for the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.
The extreme leftist Spawn actor was upset by Trump’s November 9 interview conducted by Univision news anchor Enrique Acevedo.
Leguizamo insisted that the interview was not critical enough about the former president.“On Nov. 9 the network aired an hourlong interview with him that held a completely uncritical lens on the dangerous policies Trump espoused during his presidency and what he has vowed to set in motion if he is elected in 2024,” the actor wrote.
The commie Pope invited a busload of 44 transgenders to the Vatican for lunch.
“On Sunday, the women — many of whom are Latin American migrants and work as prostitutes — joined over 1,000 other poor and homeless people in the Vatican auditorium as Francis’ guests for lunch to mark the Catholic Church’s World Day of the Poor,” AP reported.
In July, Pope Francis told a transgender that “God loves us as we are.”
Also, earlier this month, the Vatican’s doctrinal office announced that transgender people can receive baptisms, serve as godparents and be witnesses in religious ceremonies in the Roman Catholic Church.
On Wednesday, the House Ethics Committee voted against opening an investigation or a report into Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), who, on September 30, pulled the fire alarm while the House was voting to avert a government shutdown. Doing so is a violation of the DC code, and Bowman was charged by the DC Attorney General and pled guilty last month. The Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to charge Bowman for "obstructing an official proceeding," despite how the congressman pulling the fire alarm when there was no such emergency disrupted the vote.
Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has a unique explanation for why former President Donald Trump is ahead of President Joe Biden in recent polls.
NBC News interviewed Shapiro for a story published Wednesday and asked him to explain Trump’s polling lead against Biden. Shapiro attributed Trump’s lead to “brain fog” from voters, and he expects it to clear up ahead of the 2024 presidential election.“I’m not sure folks remember just how chaotic it was, how divisive it was, how he was just in your face in your living room every day,” Shapiro told NBC News. “I don’t think people want to go back to that.”
The Democratic Party’s panic over losing control of narratives in schools has led it to pursue a new path to propagandize to children: mandatory “media literacy” classes to teach students about “fake news.”
Media literacy lessons are now mandatory in California in English, science, history, and even math classes throughout every grade level, thanks to a law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) last month. Delaware, Illinois, and New Jersey are also among the states requiring these lessons. Among other things, the California law worries about the effects of “online misinformation” that has “threatened public health.”
Joe and Jill Biden have stayed in $75 million worth of vacation houses since he's been president - all owned by wealthy Democrat donors who hand over their keys to the first couple and their family.
Their Thanksgiving stay in Nantucket is their more expensive and luxurious. The Bidens are camping out for the holiday at David Rubenstein's 13,000 square foot home on a 14-acre private compound that includes a swimming pool, hot tub and tennis court.
The White House has said the Bidens pay rent for their stay but have never said how much the first couple shells out to spend six days at the $34 million home
MSNBC contributor and former Democrat U.S. Senator of Missouri, Claire McCaskill, recently went on air and wrongly claimed Donald Trump is “even more dangerous” than dictators Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler.
While on MSNBC’s Dateline, McCaskill stated, “A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler and the use of the terminology like ‘vermin’ and the drive that those men had towards autocracy and dictatorship.”
She continued, “The difference, though, I think makes Donald Trump even more dangerous, and that is he has no philosophy he believes in.”
The political world spends a lot of time discussing former President Donald Trump's lead over the Republican field in national polls -- currently at 45.4%, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls. But, of course, the race will unfold as a series of state contests, beginning in Iowa on Jan. 15, New Hampshire on Jan. 23, Nevada on Feb. 8 and South Carolina on Feb. 24. By then, Republicans should have a pretty good idea who their 2024 presidential nominee will be.

response to antisemitism on campus: 'Complicit

A Jewish professor at The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has spoken out against the school’s response to antisemitism on campus and claimed the administration has done little to make her feel safe. In a piece published in Jewish Journal, concert pianist and UCLA head of piano Inna Faliks detailed the harassment she and her husband faced in the weeks following the October 7 terrorist attacks orchestrated by Hamas. Faliks claimed she heard "Itbah El Yahud" (Slaughter the Jews) chanted by "hundreds" at the school, with many students outright denying the slaughter of 1,200 Israelis. "I met UCLA graduate students who had never heard of the Holocaust..."

Thanksgiving is upon us, and if you were the one buying the food, you probably weren't happy with the bill. Food costs have skyrocketed under the Biden administration, and this year's holiday season is no different.
Karine Jean-Pierre thinks you are an idiot, though. She put out a social media post on Wednesday linking to a video from one of her recent briefings. In the body of the post is a claim that a series of prices have been lowered. She got absolutely blasted in response. [Tweet]

A suspected terror attack on Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls today saw a car explode, causing a massive explosion at a toll checkpoint that killed the vehicle's two occupants. Fox News cites law enforcement sources who say the intention was a larger attack to kill more an the FBI Terrorism Task Force is investigating but officials are yet to confirm the motive. Two men who had been traveling in the vehicle both died in the explosion. Their identities remain unknown and there were no other serious injuries.
President Joe Biden turned 81 on Monday. This gave the president — or his handlers — a chance to pose him with his birthday cake in the White House and then share the photo on social media.
The cake’s candles produced the effect of a swirling fire and elicited clever, relentless mockery from cynical social media users.
“There’s a portal to hell on a plate in front of him,” conservative radio host Dana Loesch said in a post. [Tweet]
Apparently, whoever handles Biden’s social media accounts, whether the president or an aide, thought it a good idea to attempt jokes about his age.

Not only will a lawsuit against the state of Georgia regarding its election security measures go forward, but a judge said in her ruling that the “evidence does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety.”
The only way to make that any better would be if this judge were appointed by, say, former President Barack Obama. And lo and behold, she was!
In a 135-page ruling issued Nov. 10, U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg of the Northern District of Georgia allowed a lawsuit from the Coalition for Good Governance to go forward, noting in her decision that the issue might be better decided outside of courtrooms.
The FBI is investigating a vehicle explosion Wednesday at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing between the U.S. and Canada in what sources tell Fox News was an attempted terrorist attack.
Explosives were in the vehicle at the time and two people who were in the car are dead, the sources told Fox News. A border officer was injured.
The vehicle was driving from the U.S. to Canada and were attempting to drive toward the border officer building, the sources said.

In a recent crackdown on human trafficking in Coweta County, Georgia, an unsettling revelation has come to light: among those apprehended in a law enforcement sting operation is Stephen Francis Hovanic, a senior official with the Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) Americas division, which oversees elementary education for military families.
Hovanic, 64, was arrested on November 15 in Coweta County, Georgia, on suspicion of pandering, according to the Daily Caller.
According to the DODEA’s website, Hovanic assumed his role as Chief of Staff during Obama’s regime:

A top evangelical leader in Iowa, Bob Vander Plaats, confirmed Tuesday that his organization received $95,000 from what Reuters originally described as the “DeSantis campaign, a super PAC linked to him and a nonprofit group” before he endorsed the governor’s presidential election.
Fox News’s Bret Baier questioned Vander Plaats on the report, which asserts that Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) campaign and groups associated with him gave a total of $95,000 to the nonprofit, the Family Leader Foundation, which Vander Plaats heads up. At the time, Reuters pointed to campaign finance reports “and a document prepared by an Iowa state lawmaker who was helping the Vander Plaats organization raise money

That’s what some female athletes in England did when they learned they were going to have to play against a man claiming to be a woman, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported Monday.
They refused to play.
They weren’t being transphobic. They refused to play because they were afraid.
What caused the fear? A female soccer player suffered a broken knee when blocking a shot from Francesca Needham, a 30-year-old man. They were afraid that if they took the field against Needham, they could be injured too.
Two matches in the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women’s League had to be canceled because of the boycott,
Joe Biden has always been considered not very bright and not very honest. Beyond that, he’s thin-skinned and hot-tempered according to White House staff. His ability to remember and his ability to think – never very good – are worsening. He’s spent 40% of his time in the White House not in the White House, but on vacation at the beach in Delaware.
He has a creepy thing for other people’s young daughters which an irate dad might someday react to in a way Joe doesn’t anticipate.
As for his casual relationship with facts, he certainly lies on occasion, as when it comes to his family influence-peddling
A vehicle exploded at the Rainbow Bridge between Canada and the United States in upstate New York on Wednesday afternoon according to state and federal officials — though additional details remain unknown at this time.
At least one individual, a 27-year-old male, has been hospitalized after being injured in the explosion, according to reports. [Tweet]
A statement from the FBI said that agents from its Buffalo field office are "investigating a vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge, a border crossing between the U.S. and Canada in Niagara Falls." [Tweet]
The FBI added it is "coordinating with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners in this investigation"
It often seems as if The Rolling Stones are going to be around and touring forever. They were already fixtures of rock and roll when I was a kid in the '70s.

Thank God for NICU Nurses

As I mentioned in a previous post, my daughter Rosie was born at less than 27 weeks of gestation at the end of September, weighing just 1 lb. 6 oz. She’s still in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), but she’s made a lot of progress, thanks in large part to the many nurses giving her 24/7 care.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, I’d like to express my gratitude for the amazing work these nurses do day in and day out. There’s no way I could sufficiently describe everything they do to take care of Rosie and the other babies in the NICU,
Spyglass Media Group initially declined comment when Variety broke the news that the company had dropped Melissa Barrera from the cast of “Scream 7.” But now the production banner behind the hit horror franchise’s revival is pushing back on a narrative that has quickly coalesced around the decision: that Barrera was fired for showing support for the Palestinian cause. Instead, a spokesperson clarifies that Barrera’s posts were interpreted as antisemitic. “Spyglass’ stance is unequivocally clear: We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech,”
It turns out that bullets are an essential part of a gun, and limiting the number of rounds in a gun violates the Oregon constitution. A county judge in Oregon made that decision on Tuesday overturning Measure 114, a citizen-passed measure that outlawed what gun grabbers call "high capacity magazines" and required that Oregon serfs get a permit to be allowed to purchase a gun.
I wrote in PJ Media shortly after its passage in November 2022 that "The passage of Measure 114 was a giant middle finger to real civil rights and to the Supreme Court’s recent decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen,
According to the White House, history had not begun when the president was born 81 years ago. It didn't even begin when Joe Biden became president nearly three years ago. Instead, the executive branch would like you to believe that history and price levels began only one year ago. There's a reason just 2% of voters polled by the New York Times said that the economy under "Bidenomics" is excellent: they weren't born yesterday. We're currently in year three of the worst inflationary crisis of the past 40, and tone-deaf posts like this one from the White House feel like an insult to the common sense of the public.
Get a load of — and a laugh from — the latest political advice coming from the White House.
Concerned about President Biden’s age and habit of falling, aides want him to shorten the distance he walks in public and wear softer, more flexible shoes to help keep him upright.
Not since the late campaign whiz David Garth told New York’s Ed Koch and other clients to wear more blue on television has political advice been so basic.
And with good reason, for, as even the propaganda media realize, it’s “not a good look” when the leader of the free world repeatedly falls up the steps of Air Force One.
Most Americans seem to have forgotten our first war against Muslims. In the late 18th century, our objection to Islamist practice was their piracy and slaving against our ships and sailors in the Mediterranean Sea.
In 1794, provoked by Algerian captures of American ships, our Congress authorized construction of the first six ships of the U.S. Navy, including the U.S.S. Constitution, still in commissioned service and now docked in Boston.
In 1795, our diplomats negotiated treaties with the Muslim states of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli to pay them tribute for the privilege of free passage.
But in 1801, the Pasha of Tripoli, citing late payments of tribute, demanded additional money
From Q***rs for Palestine to marchers carrying signs reading, “Palestine is a Reproductive Justice Issue”, the Hamas Nazi cause has been vertically integrated throughout the Left. Greta Thunberg was booed after injecting anti-Israel chants into environmental rallies. The BLM movement was a longtime foe of Israel, but Asian Studies departments recently joined in.
The leaders of March for Our Lives and the Sunrise Movement, a gun control group and an environmental protest group, signed a letter to Biden warning that young people wouldn’t vote for him unless he forced Israel to stop attacking Hamas Nazis.
Joe Biden has always been Johnny-on-the-spot whenever a radical leftist has gotten elected in Latin America.
But for Argentina's new president, elected by a ten-point-plus margin?
Crickets.
He's said nothing at all to Javier Milei, Argentina's first libertarian president, on his quite truly historic victory in an undoubtedly free and fair election, with 30 million hand-counted ballots, their validity approved by both parties and delivered on election night, that made Milei president. He could have congratuated just the election if he couldn't stand Milei, which we know he can't as a fair-minded formality, but of course, he didn't. The White House web site is bereft of any pretense
The GOP finally put up some good electoral news on Tuesday. Republican William Cogswell defeated Democrat John Tecklenburg to become the next mayor of Charleston, SC. Tecklenburg was a two-time incumbent and expected to win the race as it headed into a run-off following the November 7th general election. What makes this such a big victory for Republicans is that Democrats had held the mayorship of Charleston since 1877, marking a major shift in fortunes. Voters in Charleston have chosen former State Representative William Cogswell to lead the city as its next mayor.
Israeli leaders vowed Tuesday to continue fighting to destroy Hamas after a pause, which is part of a deal in which the terror group will free between 50 and 80 female and child hostages in exchange for a lull in the fighting.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, in a statement announcing the deal:
I would like to reiterate: The war is continuing and the war will continue until we achieve all of our goals – Eliminating Hamas, returning all of our hostages and assuring that the day after Hamas, Gaza will no longer threaten Israel, that there will be no other element that supports terrorism, educates its children
You likely didn't hear about Matthew Temael, the 23-year-old transgender dude who goes by the prairie-fairylicious moniker "Dandelion."
Temael was arrested in September for allegedly stabbing Flordia man Louis Stackhouse to death, ransacking his mobile home, torching it, and swiping the dead man's car. He was pulled over during a traffic stop and arrested after trying to escape. Initial media reports somehow missed Tamael's Trantifa identity (perhaps it was the mustache). The Post Millenial was the first to report that Tamael walked like a woman but talked like a man — c-h-o-l-a — chola.
Happy Wednesday dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) As we are all too aware, the Democrats and their insidious minions in the media have been working hard to get a head start on pre-gaming next year's presidential election. They'd prefer that there be no election at all, which is rich given that they're the ones who say we're destroying democracy.
They're fighting this battle on many fronts. The coordinated effort to ruin Elon Musk is a big part of the effort. In 2020, the Democrats had complete control of all of the major social media platforms, which they used to keep critical information from the American public,

By now I imagine most readers have seen the photo of Joe Biden’s birthday cake, which is the greatest moment of presidential self-immolation since Jimmy Carter was attacked by a rabbit or George H.W. Bush threw up on the Japanese prime minister. The amazing thing is that someone in the White House thought it was a keen idea to release this photo. Which wasn’t even competently shot.
What’s up with gripping the sides of the table? I have a theory. People who think Democrats are playing Lucy and the football with Republicans, waiting to swap out Biden for someone more plausible once the GOP has settled on Trump, are mistaken.

Socialist President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is unlikely to attend the auguration of President-elect Javier Milei of neighboring Argentina, his officials said on Monday, or even call Milei to congratulate him on the grounds that he felt “personally offended” by Milei referring to him as a corrupt “communist.”
Milei, an outspoken libertarian outsider candidate, won a landslide victory in the Argentine November 19 presidential election against socialist Minister of Economics Sergio Massa. An economist and former television commentator, Milei vowed to enact mass privatizations of state assets, adopt the U.S. dollar as an official currency in Argentina, and

Fact check organizations, like their media allies, have established themselves over the years as little more than mouthpieces/apologists for members of the Democratic Party, as RedState has documented many times. The latest example of this comes from FactCheck.org, which "fact-checked" recent claims from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) regarding the Biden administration's stance toward Israel, specifically as it relates to calls for a ceasefire with the terrorist group Hamas.
Cruz has asserted that since day one, members of Biden's administration have been "undermining Israel" by, in effect, calling for a ceasefire or otherwise trying to get Israel to pull back in other ways.

Americans have come to realize that being online can mean having your speech rights curtailed. But that doesn’t mean they like it. Indeed, they mostly oppose the idea, in particular when it’s Big Tech and Big Government censoring together, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll.
With growing complaints over online censorship, the online national I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Nov. 1-3, asked 1,400 respondents the following question: “Do you approve or disapprove of Big Tech companies working with federal agencies to engage in online censorship?”
For most people, the answer is negative.
Whatever your news source, there is a consensus among most that the world is a tinderbox with more chaos and danger than many can recall within their lifetime. Sixty years ago, I grew up during the Cuban Missile Crisis. People were scared, but the fear was binary, with almost everyone equally frightened about what Khrushchev might do. But now, there is a sense of what you might call "Fear de Jour." You no sooner begin to relax from one monumental crisis before something worse occurs. Perhaps never in my life have so many balls been in the air simultaneously.
Israel’s defenses took a giant leap forward this week when — for the first time ever — it used a laser beam to shoot down an incoming rocket fired by terrorists in Gaza.
This isn’t science fiction, but the product of years of research and experimentation.
The US military is doing its own laser-beam or “directed energy” research, and Israel and the United States cooperate.
Lockheed Martin and Israel’s Rafael are developing Iron Beam, and ultimately it can mean not only ground-based laser defenses but lasers to mount on ships and planes as well.
Israel fielded the weapon for the first time in combat a few days ago,

Republican Celeste Maloy beat state Sen. Kathleen Riebe, a self-described moderate, to win Utah's special election Tuesday night, filling the last remaining open seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Associated Press called the race at 8:36 p.m. local time.
The election, which was held in Utah's 2nd Congressional District, was triggered by the resignation of former Republican Rep. Chris Stewart, who left Congress in September due to his wife's unspecified illness.
Joe Biden had only one event scheduled on Tuesday -- to discuss the "progress" his administration was making in regard to dealing with the massive fentanyl problem.
As we reported earlier, part of the fentanyl problem is because Biden has failed to secure the border. He also didn't seem to understand China's involvement in the whole fentanyl process, lifting sanctions on a blacklisted forensics lab in exchange for Xi saying they would do more to track the flow of chemicals for fentanyl. As Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) said, that was a bit like "thanking the arsonist."
The Gateway Pundit’s Richard Abelson reported earlier Israel has reached a deal with Hamas for a temporary cease-fire in return for the release of some of the hostages, Arutz Sheva reports. The deal is expected to go into effect Thursday, with 12 Israelis being freed every day. All the children and 13 moms are said to be involved in the deal. The right-wing parties oppose the deal, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will go ahead and pass it with the votes of the left-wing parties.

An air marshal union chief has warned it could be 'unsafe' to fly around Thanksgiving due to a lack of federal agents on flights that have instead been diverted to the US southern border.
Travel chaos is already in full swing as storms batter the Plains and Midwest, delaying 3,000 flights ahead of Thursday.
The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen a record-breaking 30 million passengers from November 17 through November 28. But to further complicate things, the airline industry may face a shortage of air marshals who are being sent to tackle the migrant crisis at the border.
Republican Celeste Maloy has been projected to win the special election in Utah for the open U.S. House seat recently vacated by Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT).
Maloy beat out Utah State Sen. Kathleen Riebe (D) to win the seat. Per the Hill:
Maloy and Riebe were vying to fill the House vacancy after Stewart resigned earlier this year, citing concerns for his wife’s health. Maloy previously worked for Stewart’s congressional office as chief legal counsel.
The Republican candidate was largely expected to win the seat on Tuesday, given her link to Stewart and the GOP’s success in the state.

Ford Motor Company and China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) are already cutting jobs and financial investment at an Electric Vehicle (EV) battery plant set for Marshall, Michigan.
In February, Ford announced the collaboration with CATL — China’s premier battery supplier — to build a $3.5 billion plant in the small community of Marshall that executives said would create 2,500 jobs.
A few months ago, Ford executives said they were putting the plant on pause though the company will now resume construction.
This week, Ford executives said their jobs and investment commitment are dwindling from their initial projection — cutting the number of jobs scheduled for the plant by 800 and potentially cutting
In some parts of the country, standing up for Israel is controversial, even dangerous.
On the campuses of places like Harvard, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania, anyone who dares to wave an Israeli flag — or, increasingly, wear a kippah in public — is at risk of being assaulted by angry mobs of people with their faces covered.

Many parents of Jewish students are concerned, and rightly so, about their kids’ safety at these institutions.
Much of the mainstream press and denizens of establishment academia are gathering forces to present the claim that President Javier Milei will somehow crash the economy.
They hate him and they tried to stop his election, trying to paint him as a crazy man.
Now that they have failed, the next best thing is to try to stop his plan to fix the Argentinian economy, howling of doom on the horizon.
It's stupid stuff because Argentina's voters know what Milei plans to do -- and they gave him their vote because of it. They know it will work.
