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.

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)
Fulton County, Georgia (state)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.”

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.

Argentina is facing the worst economic crisis of its history as a result of decades of socialist policies, lavish government spending, and corruption, fueling skyrocketing rates of poverty, joblessness, and inflation.

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.

From a slobbery Washington Post item at the time:

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.”

Czech public television said, citing police, the person who opened fire was eliminated. They say officers were deployed due to a shooting at a school in Jan Palach Square. The Philosophical Faculty of Charles University and the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design are located in that area.
The police department said the square has been sealed off. It urged people also to leave the surrounding streets and stay inside.

Some top Democrats are worried that a dip in Black voter turnout, along with other challenges, could doom President Joe Biden and his party in 2024.
A group of Democrats is offering a new analysis of the most recent campaigns in Georgia and Michigan, pitching those battlegrounds as models for drawing in more Black voters next year and beyond. They argue that Democratic power players need to think — and spend money — in new ways, going beyond efforts that can be last-minute or superficial as they try to reassemble Biden’s 2020 coalition.

Capitol Hill isn't the only place panic is setting in about Joe Biden's 2024 prospects. The consternation is spreading broadly throughout the party, and according to a new report, it's completely warranted. According to far-left outlet Slate, which is loath to ever criticize a Democrat, Biden is facing the worst environment for an incumbent president since the Great Depression. Poll after poll shows the president's numbers plummeting to record lows.
As President Joe Biden grows increasingly mystified by his unpopularity, he is also experiencing the worst polling of his presidency. This plummet was punctuated by last Thursday’s release of several Bloomberg/Morning Consult surveys showing him getting swept in a series

President Joe Biden’s open-borders policy is pulling more foreigners into the United States while pushing more Latino citizens into the GOP, according to a Politico report from El Paso, the far-western tip of Texas.
“I want Trump back,” one woman told Politico, adding:
“It’s getting really bad with a lot of the people coming in,” said [Daniela] Simental, who was born in the Mexican state of Chihuahua and immigrated with her family when she was 12. She didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, she said. But lately, she’s thinking differently about it.

Well, that’s that. Under pressure from the US and other allies as well as the families of the remaining hostages, Israel offered a one-week operational pause to exchange more Palestinian prisoners to free the remaining Israelis. That offered a longer pause than the first deal, and a potential framework for other discussions.
Instead, Hamas insisted on a formal cease-fire, release of all imprisoned Palestinians, and increased aid just to open negotiations:
The hostage negotiations were set to include, for the first time, representatives of Hamas ally Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has also said that Israel must implement a cease-fire before negotiations could start. Islamic Jihad also demands that Israel free

President Joe Biden continues to lose ground to Donald Trump and is now trailing the former president 45-43 in a head-to-head matchup going into the final year of his first term in the White House.
Biden’s favorability has dropped precipitously since the early summer, with nearly 60 percent of respondents now disapproving of his performance, according to a new poll of 1,000 registered voters conducted by WPA Intelligence and obtained by National Review. While Biden led Trump by 15 points in terms of favorability in May, today, the two candidates have nearly identical ratings. Republicans trailed Democrats by 2 points on a generic ballot in May but

President Joe Biden last week welcomed Mariah Carey and her 12-year-old twins to the White House, and giving the president a break from the headache of the migrant crisis.
The 54-year-old singer posted the photos on her Instagram page on Wednesday - as it emerged she has split with her boyfriend of seven years Bryan Tanaka.
'Last week I had the pleasure of meeting President Biden & Vice President Harris at the White House to ring in the holiday season!' she wrote, sharing photos of her and the twins taking in the decorations.

Harvard president Claudine Gay has been hit with 40 fresh allegations of plagiarism, with claims that she lifted 'entire paragraphs' in her academic writing.
The new allegations were first published in a shocking report from the Washington Free Beacon and span seven publications authored by Gay, ranging from missing quotation marks around a few phrases or sentences to entire paragraphs lifted verbatim.
It comes as the House Committee on Education and the Workforce announced that it's widening the scope of it' probe into Gay, according to a letter written by Rep. Virginia Foxx. The committee had already opened a probe into antisemitism at the Harvard campus following Gay's testimony

President Biden has been warned by top aides and his wife Jill to rest more and be more mindful of his health going into 2024 — while he claims he “feels so much younger” than his 81 years, according to a new report.
The age dynamic has caused tension inside the White House, according to Axios, which reported that aides have been known to roll their eyes at Biden’s insistence that he feels spry.
“He is his own worst enemy when it comes to his schedule,” one ex-Biden adviser told the outlet, which reported in April that aides have trouble booking presidential events at certain times of the day —

The following is a letter, edited for relevance to a broader audience, sent to Section D, Harvard Business School (HBS), Class of 1972. The first year at HBS is spent entirely with one’s section. Its purpose was to explain my resignation as section secretary after the Harvard Board affirmed support of Claudine Gay as its president, and antisemitic intimidation remains unpunished.
To my section mates:
On the Dec.4 congressional hearing the university president, its meaning, and its fallout: There is no question it was political theater. But that does not invalidate its usefulness. The state of higher education is now front-and-center and that is very much needed. Too many colleges

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot would be overturned by the Supreme Court.
Barr said, “As you know, I strongly oppose Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. I think this case is legally wrong and untenable. I think this kind of action of stretching the law and taking hyper-aggressive missions to knock Trump out of the race they are counterproductive. They backfire, as you know. He feeds on grievance just like a fire feeds on oxygen. This will end up as a grievance that helps him.”

Mayor Eric Adams surprised several social media users after referencing the World Trade Center terror attacks in his description of why New York City is the "greatest city on the globe."
Adams spoke with host Dan Mannarino on WPIX-TV’s "PIX on Politics" on Sunday when the latter asked the mayor what word he would use to describe 2023.
"New York. This is a place where every day you wake up, you could experience everything from a plane crashing into our Trade Center to a person who’s celebrating a new business that's open. This is a very, very complicated city, and that's why it's the greatest city on the globe," Adams replied.

Jill Biden’s creepy video, featuring a troupe of tap dancers showing off the garish Christmas decorations in the White House, prompted one journalist to comment that they are “really going for the Hunger Games as this year’s Christmas theme.”
While they’re prancing around in the capital, out in the districts everyone else is struggling to pay the sky-high cost of this festive season.
Haven’t bought a Christmas tree yet? It will cost you about 10% more than last year, which is on top of the 10% increase the year before, and 10% the year before that.
The American Christmas Tree Association found that 78% of consumers are concerned about inflation this year.

Do not apologize for saying the COVID virus came out of China, with the help of Fauci, and that the Deep State tried to cover up America’s involvement in the COVID creation and China’s involvement. Do not apologize for saying that those in Washington care very little for the average normal American, who works five to six days a week in a forty- to fifty-hour work week. Do not apologize for wondering if the CIA/FBI were involved in the assassination of JFK. Stop apologizing when someone calls you a “conspiracy theorist,” since most of these theories eventually become facts. Stop apologizing

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.

The Colorado Supreme Court's decision to bar Donald Trump from the state's ballot will help the former president in his quest to win the Republican nomination next year, political insiders in both parties say.
Some Democrats fear it could boost him next November, too.
Republican elected officials raced to rally around Trump in the hours after the ruling was released Tuesday — even those not backing him for president in 2024. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who has not endorsed Trump,

New York Mayor Eric Adams blasted city council’s “far-left agenda” after it approved two controversial bills on Wednesday banning solitary confinement for inmates in jails and forcing police officers to report every street encounter, no matter how small.
The embattled mayor, a former NYPD captain, was staunchly opposed to both bills, whose passage he blamed on a “numerical minority” that is “controlling the narrative.”
“This assault on public safety is just wrong,” Adams told WABC radio host John Catsimatidis on his “Cats & Cosby Show” Wednesday night.

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked a California law that would have banned carrying firearms in most public places, ruling that it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and deprives people of their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones.
The law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September was set to take effect Jan. 1. It would have prohibited people from carrying concealed guns in 26 places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos. The ban would apply whether the person has a permit to carry a concealed weapon or not.

Things have not calmed down on the campus of Harvard. Quite the opposite — behind the ivy-choked masonry in Boston, the atmosphere is roiling. After the campus president inflamed the country, we now have faculty members stepping up to decry her stature, and businesses are showing signs of backing away from the once austere character of the college’s graduates, as we are seeing evidence of a viral mindset infecting this school. You know things are bad when a story like this not only remains in the news cycle but continues to evolve.

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) said Wednesday that the House Education Committee will expand its investigation into Harvard President Claudine Gay to include allegations that she committed plagiarism in academic work.
The Education Committee previously held a hearing on campus antisemitism featuring Gay and the leaders of the University of Pennsylvania and MIT. At that hearing, the group controversially said that it would depend on context if calls for the genocide of Jewish people to be considered harassment. In a letter Wednesday acquired by Bloomberg, Foxx said the committee will expand its look into Gay, focusing on whether Harvard holds its faculty to the same academic standards as students.

Harvard President Claudine Gay will request three corrections to her 1997 Ph.D. dissertation in the latest series of updates Gay has submitted amid mounting allegations of plagiarism.
The new corrections were announced Wednesday evening in a summary of a review undertaken by the Harvard Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — into Gay’s academic work after they became aware of the plagiarism allegations.
The additional corrections come less than one week after the University announced that Gay submitted four corrections across two articles that were the subjects of the Corporation’s initial review.
The review — by both an independent panel of three experts and a subcommittee
