True the Vote (TTV) declares a decisive triumph in their legal battle against Stacy Abrams’ Fair Fight, legal teams led by Marc Elias, and the Biden Department of Justice. A federal court in the Northern District of Georgia today affirmed that citizens have the right to lawfully petition their government in support of election integrity without fear of persecution or prosecution. In a resounding vindication, TTV successfully defended its actions of December 2020, aiding Georgia citizens in filing elector challenges based on data showing over 364,000 voters appeared to be ineligible to vote due to change in residency.

GOP Rep. Bill Johnson (OH) on Tuesday announced he will be resigning from Congress.
As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor reported, the resignation from the House by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) took effect Sunday.
Following the resignation of McCarthy and Bill Johnson and the ousting of George Santos, the Republicans will be left with a razor-thin majority of 219-213 by January 21. Assuming full attendance, the Republicans can only afford to lose two votes on any measure.
GOP Rep. George Santos was expelled from the House of Representatives last month. 105 RINOs joined the Democrats and voted to oust Santos.
Outgoing Harvard president Claudine Gay will retain a salary of around $900,000-a-year from the university, despite being forced to resign amid a plagiarism scandal.
Gay, 53, resigned on Tuesday after months of questions about her leadership.
She will remain a member of the university staff and return to a teaching role at the department of political science, and keep a similar salary.Gay had only taken up the role on July 1, and her exact salary is yet to be disclosed on tax forms. Her predecessor, Lawrence S. Bacow, earned more than $1.3 million in calendar year 2021, The Crimson reported.
Former President Donald Trump formally appealed the decision by Maine’s Democrat Secretary of State, who unilaterally determined that Trump is ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot, citing the Insurrection Clause in Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
Trump’s attorneys argue that the ruling of Secretary of State Shenna Bellows “was the product of a process infected by bias and pervasive lack of due process; is arbitrary, capricious, and characterized by abuse of discretion.”
Claudine Gay may have resigned, but that doesn't mean she's sorry.
The resignation letter she released Tuesday afternoon is a doozy. Truly, it's one for the books, lengthy and self-pitying and utterly shameless, signed by Gay herself — sans irony — as the sole author!
Really: Are we to believe she wrote this on her own? Then again, this sayonara is so unoriginal, so predictable in its grievances, it's quite possible.
Let's start with the subject line: 'Personal News'.
Is it? Is it really 'personal news' when you have been making national headlines for months and dragging the world's top university down with you, first for failing to condemn antisemitism before Congress,
Harvard University President Claudine Gay’s resignation over plagiarism will be “just the beginning of the reckoning,” House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik told The Post Tuesday — vowing that Republicans will carry out a “long overdue” cleansing of higher education’s “institutional rot.” “The Harvard Corporation should have forced this resignation immediately after the congressional hearing just a month ago, but they failed and it became clear … that her presidency was untenable,” said Stefanik, a 2006 graduate of Harvard College.
Radio host Charlamagne Tha God said he regretted backing the Biden ticket in 2020, Politico reported on Tuesday, and said he felt like Vice President Kamala Harris "disappeared" when they got to the White House. Charlamagne, the host of "The Breakfast Club," also told the outlet that he had no plans to endorse President Biden and Harris in 2024, as he felt "burned" over his 2020 endorsement. "I’ve learned my lesson from doing that," he told Politico. "Once they got in the White House, she … kind of disappeared."
Israel's Supreme Court struck down part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial judicial overhaul on Monday, a move that could exacerbate political tension in the country as it changes its footing in the war with the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The judicial overhauls sparked months of protests after Netanyahu took office for a new term as prime minister a year ago. With its ruling, Israel's highest court overturned a law passed in July that prevented Supreme Court judges from overruling government decisions by declaring them unreasonable.

U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez introduced a member of the Qatari royal family and principal in a company with ties to the government of Qatar to a New Jersey businessman before the company invested millions of dollars in the businessman’s real estate project, a rewritten indictment alleged Tuesday.
The latest version of the indictment against the Democrat in Manhattan federal court did not identify the member of the Qatari royal family, but it said the individual was a principal of the Qatari Investment Co.
The indictment said the Qatari investor then considered and negotiated a multimillion-dollar investment in the real estate project planned by Fred Daibes,
In the first poll of 2024, President Trump leads Joe Biden among Hispanics and young voters.
Trump also leads Joe Biden among Independent voters and is gaining support among black voters coming into the new year, spelling doom for Joe Biden and the Democrats. These groups see where Biden is taking this country, and it’s not the right direction. Trump leads overall among the 1,000 voters surveyed with 39% to Biden’s 37%, with 17% preferring a third-party candidate.

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday appealed a ruling by Maine’s Democratic secretary of state barring him from the ballot over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was expected to also ask the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on his eligibility to return to the presidency in a related Colorado case.
The Republican candidate appealed the Maine decision by Shenna Bellows, who became the first secretary of state in history to bar someone from running for the presidency under the rarely used Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That provision prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.
Harvard University’s longtime provost will take over as interim president after Claudine Gay resigned Tuesday following weeks of backlash over her disastrous House testimony about on-campus antisemitism — and numerous accusations of plagiarism in her academic work. The Harvard Corporation confirmed that physician and economist Alan Garber will temporarily replace Gay while the school searches for a new leader. The organization said the search for a new leader will begin “in due course” and “will include broad engagement and consultation with the Harvard community in the time ahead.”
The fact that the hordes of new arrivals know all the loopholes and legal angles to scam our immigration laws and maximize benefits on our welfare system, while the working American does not, is really quite astounding, and tells me that there have to be a number of lawyers involved, telling these people what they can do to cheat American citizens out of a country. Check out this story, reported by the New York Post yesterday: Two New York City men staged armed robberies at convenience stores and fast food joints across the United States to scheme immigration benefits, federal prosecutors said Friday.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to questions from Democratic Mayors across the country regarding the administration's border and asylum policies during an interview Tuesday morning on CNN. "Here's my response. It is shameful that a Republican governor -- Gov. Abbott in Texas -- is using migrants as a political stunt. That's what he's been doing," Jean-Pierre said. "We're about to hit three years -- three years since the president put forward an immigration comprehensive legislation -- put that forward to Congress and nothing was done on it."

The Vatican announced Tuesday that Pope Francis has chosen “diversity in the Church” as his prayer intention for the month of January 2024.
“Diversity and unity were already very much present in the first Christian communities,” the pontiff remarked in his video announcing his prayer intention for January. (snip) In July 2021, however, Francis clamped down on the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, calling the practice divisive. In his apostolic letter titled Traditionis Custodes (“Guardians of Tradition”), the pope banned the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass in Catholic parishes and revoked accommodations to priests who want to use the extraordinary form of the Catholic liturgy.

The state of California’s program providing taxpayer-funded health care to illegal immigrants covers sex change surgeries and hormones, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of the program.
The program, which is known as Medi-Cal, covers hormone therapy and surgical procedures “that bring primary and secondary gender characteristics into conformity with the individual’s identified gender, including ancillary services, such as hair removal, incident to those services,” according to a state memo from May 2022.
Harvard President Claudine Gay cited “racial animus” in her resignation letter on Tuesday as one of the reasons for her decision to step down, and did not offer an apology for the allegations of plagiarism leveled against her.
Gay experienced multiple accusations of plagiarism in her scholarly works after a congressional hearing on antisemitism where she refused to say if calling for the genocide of Jews was a violation of the school’s code of conduct. Another round of plagiarism allegations rocked Gay Tuesday, and she announced her resignation but did not offer an apology in a letter to the university community.
Convicted ballot harvester, Gloria Torres, has been appointed as the new Vice Mayor of San Luis, Arizona.
Torres, who was appointed during the regular city council meeting on December 13, pleaded guilty to ballot abuse in June 2023.
Torres and Nadia Guadalupe Lizarraga-Mayorquin a/k/a Nadia Buchanan were indicted in October 2022, on two Class 6 felonies of conspiracy and ballot abuse stemming from a two-year long investigation by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office with assistance from the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office.
Six days ago, Donald Trump’s lawyers filed a 34-page brief in the Supreme Court. In legal-speak, their brief is called a “petition for certiorari.” It asks the U.S. Supreme Court to review the 4-3 decision by the Colorado Supreme Court banning Trump from the Colorado ballot. (The brief is available, in full, at the Supreme Court website.)
This case presents one of the most important legal and political issues of this century: Whether a state can exclude a national candidate from the state’s ballot on the grounds that he committed a federal crime that he was never convicted of or even charged with.
But the media has largely ignored Trump’s brief.
Former President Donald Trump is expected to participate in a Fox News Channel town hall during CNN’s Iowa debate that will feature other 2024 Republican presidential candidates.
CNN announced on Dec. 7 that it would be hosting two Republican presidential debates, the one on Jan. 10 at Drake University in Iowa at 9 p.m. and the other on Jan. 21 in New Hampshire. Neither debates are in partnership with the Republican National Committee (RNC). While some of the former president’s challengers will debate each other on CNN, Trump will appear on a Fox News Channel town hall moderated by its own Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum
The student-run daily newspaper at Harvard, the Harvard Crimson, reports that in the face of continuing discovery of plagiarism evidence in her published work, Claudine Gay has resigned (snip)Quite simply, Gay has damaged Harvard’s core mission. No, I don’t mean the education of students or the production of research. Harvard’s real business is the production and maintenance of institutional prestige. That prestige is what attracts students, faculty, donors, campus visitors and other people who bring value and further enhance prestige. And it has taken a gigantic hit.

It was a literal groundbreaking prophecy.
As if Nostradamus’ foretellings weren’t eerily accurate enough, the iconic astrologer was apparently right on the money with yet another apocalyptic prophecy just hours into 2024 — the New Year’s Day earthquake.
Also known as the Prophet Of Doom, the 16th-century French philosopher is best known for his foreboding forecasts, which he chronicled in his 1555 text “Les Propheties.”
These 943 verses are somewhat too vague to be sure, but Nostradamus has been credited with predicting everything from the Rise Of Adolf Hitler to COVID-19 like a 450-year-old Century “Simpsons” cartoon.
It has been revealed that Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Mark, attempted to obtain documentation from the night the convicted criminal didn't kill himself, but was told by government employees that the records he sought did not exist.
One of the most important documents, the report written by the emergency medical services team that moved Epstein's body out of his cell at the Manhattan jail, was nowhere to be found on the computer system.
The editorial board at Havard University’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, decided to give university president Claudine Gay a bit of a holiday present this weekend. (I’m fairly sure you can’t say “Christmas present” at Harvard these days.) The embattled administrator had already been taking fire and facing calls for her resignation over her antisemitic remarks before Congress and then a mounting pile of evidence that she committed plagiarism multiple times over the course of her career. But the paper’s editorial board stood up for Gay this weekend in an op-ed where a majority of the members concluded that there was no reason for her to resign. And

Hamas’s deputy leader abroad Saleh al-Arouri was killed in an Israeli strike in the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh, the Hezbollah-linked al-Mayadeen reports.
Israel has not yet commented on the alleged strike.
At a press conference in November, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had “instructed the Mossad to act against the heads of Hamas wherever they are” in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 assault on southern Israel. At the same press conference, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said all Hamas leaders “are living on borrowed time… The struggle is worldwide.”
Based in Lebanon, al-Arouri, 57, was deputy head of the terror group’s political bureau and considered the de facto leader
Well, well, well. Hamas had insisted in recent days that it would release no hostages until the IDF withdrew from Gaza, a position that left the Israeli government in firm position to reject. After more losses on the battlefield, however, Hamas has had second thoughts.
Now they want a day of cease-fire for every hostage released, but without an IDF withdrawal. And the Israelis say …
Hamas negotiators have waived the condition of a final ceasefire and the withdrawal of IDF soldiers from Gaza in their ongoing talks with Israel for a second hostage release, according to a report by the Arab World News Agency (AWP), citing sources in Hamas.

Palm Beach, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that assuming he wins the GOP nomination for president again he will work to expand the universe of battleground states and aggressively compete against whoever Democrats nominate in states like New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Minnesota, and New Mexico.
Trump said he thinks he can compete in a number of states that Republicans have not won in many years in presidential elections. He said he plans to do rallies in these states, and work to try to win them—but maybe not as hard as the traditional battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia.
Lee Jae-myung, recognized as South Korea’s main opposition party leader, was stabbed in the neck at an impromptu press conference in the southern city of Busan. Lee had just completed a tour of the Gadeokdo New Airport construction site and had stopped to talk with a gathering of reporters. There, a yet-to-be-identified man in his sixties approached Lee, asking for an autograph. The man mingling with Lee supporters, wore a paper crown with Lee’s name on it. He suddenly lunged forward and stabbed Lee in the left side of his neck. The attacker was immediately subdued, separated from the crowd, and arrested. Lee was airlifted to Pusan National

Since Oct. 7, the public has been inundated with allegations of Israeli atrocities and human rights abuses. Israel, we’re told, is committing a “genocide” in Gaza, and, in fact, has been through all the years in which the Gazan population has grown steadily. The strange story of one young woman, or really, one photograph, is an object lesson in why such claims of Israeli evils should be taken with a large grain of salt. On X, a poster who identifies herself as Hagit on Sunday posted a highly illuminating thread about a girl with “6 different identities,” and “all of them suffered from the IDF!” This is, said Hagit,

Hateful anti-Israel protesters yelling inflammatory chants snarled traffic and caused chaos as they descended upon John F. Kennedy International Airport Monday – creating a nightmare on one of the busiest travel days of the year.
The Belt Parkway — a major thoroughfare used by vehicles to travel to the airport — was temporarily blocked off by police near Exit 20 as they tried to stem the flow of the “Flood JFK For Gaza” protest, which was planned by Within Our Lifetime, a Palestinian-led activist group.“NYPD, KKK, IDF you’re all the same,” protesters inside an SUV screeched through a megaphone, according to video posted to X.
The Biden regime seems hell-bent on celebrating and subsidizing the worst tendencies of human nature: not only every conceivable manner of perversion, but resentment, envy, the privilege of protected classes rather than advancement on the basis of merit, and so much more. It is not hard to suspect that Biden and his henchmen have some vested interest in encouraging Americans to become worse people, harder to get along with and more difficult to deal with. What could more effectively justify an authoritarian crackdown than a population that is as obstreperous as it is immature?
A couple was killed and numerous other people injured just hours into the New Year when a deranged man driving a car filled with explosives barreled into a crowd leaving a rock concert in upstate New York, police said.

Not Guilty in Landmark Hong Kong National-Security Case replies
Jimmy Lai, the pro-democracy activist and founder of the Hong Kong-based news outlet Apple Daily, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges of colluding with foreign forces and sedition, declaring his intention to use his high-profile trial to publicly push back against prosecutors’ claims that he worked with Western governments to undermine China’s national security.
Lai was first arrested in August 2020 following Beijing’s imposition of a new Hong Kong “national security law” that was part of a broader crackdown on pro-democracy forces by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Lai’s publication supported the pro-democracy demonstrations and was critical of China’s attempts to silence dissent in Hong Kong.

In a display of heightening tensions, Iran dispatched a warship to the Red Sea, one day after the U.S. Navy destroyed and sank three Houthi small boats. Iranian state media reported that the Alborz destroyer moved through the Bab El-Mandeb strait, between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, on Monday. The strait is a strategic maritime and commerce shipping route. The arrival of the Iran destroyer in the Red Sea comes a day after U.S. Navy helicopters sank three boats carrying Houthi militants, according to U.S. military officials who said U.S. warships were responding to a distress call
Twenty-five states are boosting their minimum wages in 2024, with California leading the way with a bump to $16 for all employees.

In Old Joe Biden’s America, there’s justice if you’re a patriot, which could mean spending years in prison for strolling through the Capitol and taking selfies after the cops opened the doors on Jan. 6, 2021, and there’s justice if you’re a member of the leftist elite, which means that you can essentially do anything you want, and little or nothing will happen to you.

As nearly all parts of the political spectrum agree, average Americans are extremely unhappy these days. The latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows that a hefty majority sees the federal government’s recent performance as the cause of their disgruntlement.
With news stories regularly highlighting widespread anger among voters, we asked the following question for our December national online poll, taken from Nov. 29-Dec. 1 by 1,464 adult registered voters: “Which of the following best describes how you feel about the federal government?”
Respondents were then given four possible responses: “satisfied,” “frustrated,” “angry,” and “not sure.”

President Joe Biden is heading into election year showing “alarming weakness” among “stalwarts” of the Democrat base — black, Hispanic, and young voters, according to a new poll.
The USA Today/Suffolk University poll showed that one in five black voters would support a third-party candidate in 2024. In addition, Biden has fallen behind former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee, with Hispanic and young voters, 39-34 percent and 37-33 percent, respectively. Both groups backed Biden in 2020. (Photos) Trump has the support of 12 percent of black voters, the same percentage he had in 2020, according to the poll.
In less than a year-and-a-half, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has transported 85,400 illegal migrants to so-called sanctuary cities run by Democrats who don't want to adhere to federal immigration enforcement.
New York City has borne the brunt of Texas offloading the crisis to Democratic enclaves, with Abbott sending 32,200 to the Big Apple starting in August 2022, according to his office.
Chicago has seen the second amount of migrants sent from Texas with 24,500 migrants arriving over the last year and four months.
A record number of migrants crossed the U.S. southern border in December, according to a new report, topping the highest amount ever recorded as President Joe Biden continues to grapple with the crisis.
There were 300,000 encounters in the last month of 2023, U.S. Custom and Border Patrol sources told Fox News. Between Dec. 1 and December 31, more than 302,000 migrants were documented attempting to cross the U.S. southern border.
It is the highest total for a single month ever recorded in history and it marks the first time migrant encounters have reached over 300,000.
