This afternoon a university in beautiful, magical Prague descended into unfathomable hell on earth. A deranged lunatic – a domestic terrorist by any measure – murdered his father, brought the rifle to the university he attended – Charles University – and laid siege to fellow students and people on the streets. Terrified students cowered on ledges behind balcony parapets… …or leapt from them to the balconies below. Others barricaded themselves in classrooms, hoping to survive the gunman’s assault, and then waited for an evacuation by police or an “all clear.” When he was finally “eliminated,” as Czech police phrased it, 14 precious lives had been snuffed out,
NBC News correspondent Guad Venegas expressed shock at the number of migrants crossing the southern border on Thursday and told MSNBC anchor Jose Diaz-Balart he had never seen so many people. Reporting on the ground at Eagle Pass, Texas, Venegas told Diaz-Balart, “A lot of us knew this would happen because immigration isn’t enforcing the laws inside of Mexico.” He continued: These crowds here in Eagle Pass have never been this large during my reporting. This is the most people I’ve ever seen in Eagle Pass, and other reporters, colleagues working other parts of the border in Arizona, [and] in
What if the 2020 election was actually far from the most “safe and secure” in American history, as the mainstream media have relentlessly parroted over the past three years? What if Joe Biden actually lost several of the closely contested battleground states due to widespread mail-in voting fraud? What if Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election?
These questions have been dogging me ever since the 2020 election was called in favor of Joe Biden. However, thanks to a new poll conducted by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports, we may be able to answer these taboo questions with a new sense of confidence.
Here are a few of the key takeaways
As Gateway Pundit readers know, President Trump was disqualified from the ballot in Colorado in 2024 thanks to their far-left Supreme Court. The Court dubiously cited Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.
The state’s high court left room for an appeal. The ruling will go into effect on January 4, 2024.
But one would be mistaken to believe this is the end of Trump’s ballot challenges, and you can partially thank a “Republican” Presidential candidate for this.
President Joe Biden pressured Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022 to prosecute former President Donald Trump, a resurfaced New York Times report says.
The report, which reemerged Thursday on X, appears to be attracting attention because of the recent legal attacks against Trump:
Colorado – Prohibiting Trump from Colorado’s 2024 primary ballot
New York – “Stormy Daniels” (state)
Miami – “Documents” (federal)
Washington, D.C. – “January 6” (federal)

Times reporters Katie Benner, Katie Rogers, and Michael S. Schmidt published an article on April 2, 2022, about Biden’s frustration with Garland
The Globalist ‘Final Solution’
replies
The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks.
—C.S. Lewis
From 1933 to 1945, Germany’s Nazis killed 17 million people, six million of them Jews. Adolf Eichmann organized the transportation of millions of those to die at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and other concentration camps in support of the Nazis’ Final Solution (i.e., elimination of Jews from Europe), and in 1961, he was finally brought to trial in Israel.
While most assume that Nazi leaders were twisted, psychopathic monsters, philosopher Hannah Arendt sparked controversy in her 1963 study “Eichmann in Jerusalem:
As immigration talks stall in Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson sent a letter to President Biden urging him to take use the power of the executive to stem the flow of migrants at the southern border.
The speaker directed the president to end 'catch-and-release,' turning away any migrants encountered between ports of entry and use parole only on a 'case-by-case basis.'
He also called on the president to reinstated Trump-era policies like building the wall, reinstating the Remain in Mexico program and expanding expedited removal for those who cannot demonstrate asylum eligibility.
Presidentish Joe Biden was in Milwaukee on Wednesday, doing that thing he's always done, which is to use his inexplicably long political career to remind his audience of the connection he's had with them during his inexplicably long political career.
He also did that thing he increasingly does where he tries to use an expression or idiom that everybody knows but that nobody has heard say it the way Biden just did. Sometimes, the word salad is so thoroughly tossed that you'd swear somebody put his brain on Shuffle.
Speaking to the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Congress, Biden boasted of his long-term connection with black voters.
More flustered than Elmer Fudd in the closing seconds of a Looney Tunes episode, President Joe Biden summoned his inner circle late last month to explain why his poll numbers were so dismal — and to ask them what they were doing to boost them. The scene, captured by the Washington Post’s Tyler Pager and printed as the lead story in the paper’s Monday edition (“Biden Upset By His Low Polling,” Dec. 18), has Biden bellyaching that his economic successes have failed to move the dial, and notes that the president has been complaining about this for some time.
The great ignominy of Biden’s sagging popularity, writes Pager, is that

Earlier this week, the Colorado State Supreme Court determined in a 4-3 ruling that Trump is ineligible under the 14th Amendment to appear on the ballot in the state. This nonsensical ruling essentially declares that even though Trump has never been convicted of, much less tried with sedition or participating in an insurrection, he is nevertheless guilty of such. The ruling is bound to be taken up by the Supreme Court, and experts on both sides of the aisle believe it will be promptly overturned. But that doesn't change the fact that four justices in the highest court in the state of Colorado voted so egregiously. But there's something
KYIV, Ukraine– Ukraine´s parliament voted Tuesday to legalize medical marijuana, after the war with Russia left thousands of people with post-traumatic stress disorder that many believe could be eased by the drug.
The new law, which will come into effect in six months´ time and which also allows cannabis to be used for scientific and industrial ends, passed by 248 votes in the 401-seat parliament in Kyiv. A full breakdown of the vote wasn’t immediately available. The law was proposed by Prime Minister Denys Smyhal.The possible legalization of medical marijuana has long been debated in Ukraine. Many people argued in favor of the benefits the treatment can bring, while others
Honda is recalling more than 2.5 million cars sold between 2017 and 2020 due to a faulty fuel pump - that can cause vehicles to stall while driving.
The issue means the cars engine may not start - but if it happens while driving it can cause 'crash and injury risks', according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
It is the second big car recall of the week. On Thursday morning, fellow Japanese automaker Toyota was forced to recall 1.1 million cars in the US over airbag issues.
Jim Hoft earlier this week dropped a bombshell that 177 of Jeffrey Epstein’s high profile associates are in for a New Year’s surprise as they will be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024.
A few of the individuals were apparently identified by the Daily Mail, including housekeepers. The only high profile person identified was Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
The material is related to a defamation case brought by Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts (now Giuffre) in New York against Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre released a statement yesterday on X taunting those about to be exposed on the “naughty list.”
Enthusiasm is low for President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign in his hometown of Scranton, Delaware, residents told the far-left Guardian publication on Thursday.
Low enthusiasm for Biden in his hometown depicts a microcosm of a growing problem nationwide. Polling numbers show Biden’s popularity is on a downward trajectory:Fox News: 54 percent of Democrat primary voters prefer an alternative to Biden.
Pew Research: Biden’s approval rating sinks to just 33 percent, the lowest since he took office.
WSJ: Only 23 percent said the same for Biden’s policies.
CNN’s senior legal analyst Elie Honig explained Thursday how special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 case against former President Donald Trump could be squashed.
Honig made the comment while discussing Smith’s efforts to expedite his case by getting the U.S. Supreme Court to determine whether Trump is entitled to immunity instead of waiting for the D.C. Circuit Court to rule.
“Why would the justices want to look at the immunity issue now or not now?” CNN’s Kate Bolduan asked. “What does it hinge on and what do you think — if they take it up, what they would do?”
Claims that former President Donald Trump and the GOP pose a grave "threat to democracy" have become a key Democrat talking point ahead of the 2024 elections, but several prominent Republicans and experts say it is really President Biden's party that is working overtime to undermine the vote.
To make their case, they point to Democrats' efforts to keep Trump off the ballot, imprison him, stifle free speech on social media, and rewrite election laws while fighting measures designed to protect ballot integrity. Those ongoing efforts, they say, are a much bigger threat to democracy than the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot Biden and Democrats frequently cite.
One of America’s most cherished monuments was forced to temporarily close after pro-Hamas miscreants defaced the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Cleanup crews were on the scene early Wednesday morning for the job of scrubbing off the words “FREE GAZA,” “FREE PALESTINE” and “LAND BACK” that had been written in blood-red paint on the steps leading up to the temple-style memorial built in honor of the nation’s 16th president, the man who ended slavery.

A fiery explosion rocked Gaza City on Thursday as the Israel Defense Forces destroyed a massive network of Hamas tunnels built to link the homes of some of the terror group's senior leaders.

Milei’s executive order targeted nearly every aspect of the Argentine economy – including imports, price controls, health care, sports federations, landlord and tenant policies, and the yerba mate industry – in what he described as an attempt to impose a “shock stabilization plan” to prevent a financial catastrophe.

Merriam-Webster’s dictionary describes the word “phobia” as “an exaggerated, usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation.” In the wake of recent events, is fear of Muslims, labeled “Islamophobia,” really exaggerated, inexplicable, and/or illogical?
I’ve concluded that not only is fear of Muslims logical and explicable, but it is by no means exaggerated and, most probably, understated. The deliberately misleading term “Islamophobia” itself amounts to a cudgel used to silence critics of what Dutch Parliamentarian (and possible new Dutch Prime Minister) Geert Wilders has at times characterized as a totalitarian political ideology masquerading as a religion.

In 2021, shortly after signing the $1.2 trillion “Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal” into law, Joe Biden set off on a public relations campaign to sell the agenda contained therein, making it all the way to Detroit for the grand opening of General Motors’ new E.V. assembly plant, known as Factory ZERO. From a slobbery Washington Post item at the time:
The car-aficionado-in-chief took a spin through a General Motors plant retooled to manufacture electric cars, proclaiming that Detroit has led the world in electric vehicles and that the new infrastructure law would further boost the use of non-gasoline-powered vehicles across the country.
Billionaire Len Blavatnik has paused donations to Harvard University over its handling of President Claudine Gay's recent appearance before Congress. Blavatnik and his family foundation have donated more than $270 million to Harvard in the past, Bloomberg News reported Thursday. He is only the latest donor to pull back in protest after Gay refused to state that calling for the genocide of Jews would infringe on Harvard's rules against bullying and harassment.

Finally, suppose that the government now claimed you had to pay that observer’s salary.

Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump's onetime legal strategist who led efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has filed for bankruptcy.
The news comes less than a week after the former New York City mayor was ordered to pay $148 million to two Georgia election workers he defamed by falsely claiming they colluded to steal the election. Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York, listing estimated assets of between $1 million and $10 million and estimated liabilities of $100 million to $500 million.
“Why is Harvard giving Claudine Gay ‘plagiarism privilege’?” asked the New York Post editorial board Saturday. It must be a rhetorical question. Professor Carol Swain, who was ripped off by Gay and complains “I feel like her whole research agenda, her whole career, was based on my work,” has some idea. “A white male would probably already be gone,” Swain, a black woman herself, told journalist Christopher Rufo recently.

In a poll taken just after the dramatic Colorado Supreme Court ruling barring Donald Trump from the ballot in the state, over half of Americans approve of the disqualifying the former president.
The ruling, released Monday, was made under the 14th Amendment's clause against people who have committed 'insurrection,' with the Colorado justices determined to punish Trump for January 6.
A total of 54 percent of American adults approve of the ruling, according to the YouGov survey that questioned nearly 3,500 citizens. About 38 percent said they strongly approved of the decision.
Only 35 percent of adults said they disapprove of the ruling, though 28 percent clarified they 'strongly disapprove.'

Despite what the climate-scare-media tell us, the big danger facing life on Earth is not global warming, but a return of the deathly Pleistocene ice sheets which once covered the great grain belts of Eurasia and North America. Such global cooling would also trigger plant starvation as more carbon dioxide is dissolved from the atmosphere into the cooling oceans.
We have abundant evidence that alarmist computer modelers have no ability to forecast climate. Meteorologists are gaining the ability to forecast weather up to a week ahead and the trends in ocean temperatures can help forecast whether we have El Niño or La Niña conditions for the next year.

Mainstream parties could have responded in one of two ways to the populist wave that began to sweep through developed nations on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid-2010s. They could either offer attractive policy alternatives that answered ordinary people’s anxieties and rallied them away from populist movements like Trump and Brexit, or they could try to use underhanded lawfare strategies to undo populist ballot-box victories.
They overwhelmingly picked the latter course of action. They called it “defending democracy.”

The Colorado Supreme Court's ruling to disqualify the former president from the Republican Party's upcoming primary ballot is yet another unprecedented moment in US politics. It's a decision that further blurs the lines between America's political and judicial systems, setting up a fresh collision between the election campaign and the courts. However, this latest legal setback is unlikely to seriously damage Mr Trump's bid to return to the White House - and he is already using it to his political advantage.
