A huge percentage of the people I follow on X (yes, I have given in on the Twitter thing) are COVID contrarians. I had departed X for years because it became a liberal playground, but when I started fighting the COVID-19 pandemic insanity, Twitter was a major battleground. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see that the most joy I have seen online since the first few days after Trump's victory has been expressed about Trump's choice of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya for Director of the National Institutes of Health. That is not an exaggeration, either. I've seen lots of people pleased with various picks, but

Okay, yes — Kamala Harris was totally bombed (on something, whether it be drink or pills) when she delivered her Thanksgiving valediction yesterday, right? We can all admit that? You “have the same power [intoxicated pause] that you did before November 5” to recognize that, right? Yes, it’s embarrassing — the only thing harder to conceive from a professional messaging operation than the video is the DNC staffer who said, “That’s gold, let’s roll with it.” (Imagine the outtakes.) But the hour before vacation is late, and I prefer mercy.
A Chinese commercial ship is suspected of deliberately dragging its anchor to cut undersea cables that connect countries over the internet, The Wall Street Journal reports.
International investigators reportedly believe the crew aboard Yi Peng 3, a bulk carrier full of Russian fertilizer, dragged its anchor for more than 100 miles across the Baltic seabed, damaging the cables that run across it. Two different internet links — one between Sweden’s Gotland Island and Lithuania, and another between Finland and Germany — stopped working earlier this month, prompting the investigation by authorities from all four countries and other nations, according to the Journal.
One of the best things President-elect Trump has initiated is the Department of Government Efficiency - the DOGE. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are preparing to let the DOGE off the leash, and if a recent X post from Elon is any indication, the DOGE may be taking a bite out of Senator Elizabeth Warren's brainchild, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB.) That seems a good idea; the federal government is massively feather-bedded, and we got along just fine without the CFPB until 2011; it seems we could get along without it again. And if anyone asks why, I could provide 36 trillion reasons. In other words, we're broke,
The Real Danger to Democracy—Trump Cabinet
Nominees Face Death Threats, Bomb Scares, Swatting 13 replies
Nominees Face Death Threats, Bomb Scares, Swatting 13 replies
We've been hearing for years now how Donald Trump and his supporters are violent, white supremacist "dangers to democracy." Yet it was the former and future president who took a bullet to the ear in a barely failed assassination attempt in July, followed by a second shooter camped out on his golf course waiting to kill him in September.
Now, as the president-elect puts forth names for his Cabinet, those people and their families are being targeted with death threats. Disgusting.
The Trump-Vance Transition Team described what's been happening in a Wednesday morning email:
Cable news network MSNBC claims it was blindsided to learn that a non-profit founded by longtime on-air personality the Rev. Al Sharpton received half a million dollars from Kamala Harris' campaign just before he interviewed her.
The donations that flowed in just before the New York activist's conversation with Harris have brought up questions about the news outlet's credibility.
The National Action Network, a civil rights non-profit that was founded by Sharpton in 1991, received $500,000 from the Harris campaign just weeks before the MSNBC host conducted a highly-anticipated sit-down with the Democrat.
Campaign finance records from the 60-year-old's campaign reveal that two separate payments went to National Action Network.
President-elect Donald J. Trump is gearing up to go nuclear on the FBI and Justice Department, and who can blame him? After years of relentless targeting, capped off with a federal raid on his home in a blatant attempt to torpedo his 2024 campaign, Trump emerged victorious. Now it’s his turn to strike back.
The gloves are off, and the days of tolerating the FBI’s overreach are over. Trump reportedly plans to bypass the FBI’s compromised background checks altogether, issuing security clearances to his appointees on his own authority. This scorched-earth approach sends a clear message: the Biden DOJ’s partisan games are finished.
Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is “disqualified forever,” according to prominent Democrat megadonor John Morgan, who lambasted her campaign spending and leadership, insisting she has no political future and “cannot be trusted” with money.
In a stunning critique, longtime Democratic donor and attorney John Morgan unleashed scathing criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of mismanaging funds and failing to demonstrate leadership during her campaign. Speaking to Chris Cuomo on NewsNation on Tuesday, Morgan compared the campaign to “Mad Max,” where “everybody’s got the keys to the candy store.”
Morgan alleged rampant misuse of donor money, claiming it wasn’t being spent to support Harris but rather “pouring in against Trump.”
Ohio governor Mike DeWine signed a law on Wednesday that bars public-school students in the state from using bathrooms that don’t align with their sex.
The “Protect All Students Act” (SB 104) will bar transgender students from kindergarten through college at state public schools from using multi-person bathrooms reserved for the opposite sex.
The bill’s co-sponsor, Republican state senator Jerry Cirino, defended the legislation on the grounds that it would protect vulnerable children. “It revolves around safety, security, and, I think, common sense. It protects our children and grandchildren in private spaces where they are most vulnerable.”
In the three weeks since the election, there have been some entertaining attempts at navel gazing by senior Democratic voices, including former Bill Clinton campaign guru James Carville, that have been pretty on point about what went wrong and where the party needs to move in order to realign with a large chunk of the voting populace. Ed's write-up of Serpenthead's latest media appearance is here.
In other places around regime media, even in advance of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz' DNC donor call, the campaign autopsy continued in some pretty remarkable ways. On NewsNation with Chris Cuomo, Democrat megadonor John Morgan
I'm not the only one who sees this video and thinks, "Is she drunk?"
It's an odd video in many respects. Watch. This is the first public statement released by Kamala Harris in THREE WEEKS, and it is 29 seconds, with no introduction or conclusion. It's simply a clip from some video she recorded, presumably on Tuesday, and released at 6:19 P.M. with no fanfare. It isn't even on Kamala Harris' own X account. It comes via the Democrats. The whole thing is weird. You would think that Harris would have prepared a coherent message, projecting strength and resolve and inspiring her supporters.

WASHINGTON D.C./ HELSINKI - Two B-52 Stratofortress bombers of the United States were intercepted by two Russian SU-27 fighter jets near Russia's Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad on Monday, a U.S. official said on Tuesday.
The U.S. bombers were in the Baltic Sea region to train together with their NATO ally Finland, which shares a 1,340 km (833 mile) border with Russia, amid escalating tensions stemming from Western backing for Ukraine to counter Russia's invasion. Monday's interception of the U.S. bombers by Russian fighter jets came just days after Russia fired a hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile at Ukraine last Thursday in response

John Kerry, who served as President Joe Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate up until March of this year, said late last week that a climate emergency needed to be declared.
Kerry made the remarks on Thursday at a recent John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum as the 29th United Nations climate change conference (COP29) concluded.
“I think, personally, we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry said. “And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, to everybody.”
Jaguar’s managing director responded to the backlash the company received over its new advertisement featuring androgynous models but not a single car, saying the ad was “bold” and never intended to be “woke,” adding that the company’s message was lost “in a blaze of intolerance” by critics on social media.
“If we play in the same way that everybody else does, we’ll just get drowned out. So we shouldn’t turn up like an auto brand,” Jaguar managing director Rawdon Glover told Financial Times.
There's nothing I love better than someone, who gets paid millions of dollars to play pretend, claiming I'm an idiot, but it happens more often than you might think, especially when a Republican wins an election. And I especially love it when they go overseas and talk trash about the United States, as if they're somehow above it all, even though if it wasn't for this country, they wouldn't have the money, fame, and privilege they've earned thanks to the willingness of American citizens to pay for their art.

Legal Insurrection readers will recall that in my post on the United Nations climate conference in Azerbaijan this week, its president boldly declared that oil and gas were a ‘gift from God’. The eco-activists attending the event were enraged. [Snip] The Czech division of the International Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) organized a two-day climate conference in Prague on November 12-13, 2024, where climate scientists declared that the “climate emergency” is over. The conference concluded with a communiqué drafted by the participating scientists and researchers that targeted the climate hysteria promoted by the United Nations body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston suggested last week that he could use police officers to prevent federal immigration officers from entering his city to carry out mass deportations when President-elect Donald Trump returns to office.
"More than us having [Denver police] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there," Johnston, a Democrat, told the news website Denverite. "It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them."
Advisers to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reached out to the Health and Human Services Department multiple times after Donald Trump tapped him to lead the massive agency, hoping to jumpstart coordination before his takeover in late January. They were rebuffed.
Kennedy’s inability to communicate with the agency he may soon manage, confirmed by an administration official with knowledge of the episodes granted anonymity to describe internal deliberations, is just one consequence of the president-elect’s continued foot-dragging on signing the standard trio of ethics and transparency agreements with the federal government — something his team pledged to do shortly after the election.
A new memoir by former “World News Now” anchor Kendis Gibson depicts a workplace culture at ABC News fraught with alleged hazing, bullying and racism — which he alleges contributed to a suicide attempt.
Gibson’s book, “Five Trips: An Investigative Journey into Mental Health, Psychedelic Healing and Saving a Life,” chronicles his nearly five-year journey experimenting with illegal drugs to combat mental health issues, including depression, panic attacks and suicidal ideation, which he claims was amplified while working at ABC.
In 2014, Gibson started his dream job as a correspondent at ABC News — recounting that he received a “heartwarming reception” from the “Good Morning America” bunch:
A ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed group Hezbollah took effect at 0200 GMT on Wednesday after U.S. President Joe Biden said both sides accepted an agreement brokered by the United States and France.
The accord clears the way for an end to a conflict across the Israeli-Lebanese border that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year.
Biden spoke at the White House on Tuesday shortly after Israel's security cabinet approved the agreement in a 10-1 vote. He said he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati,

Donald Trump is considering giving the likes of Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly a seat in the White House press briefing room instead of mainstream media journalists in a plot that will 'blow up some heads'.
The stunning plan was revealed by the president-elect's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. on a recent episode of his podcast 'Triggered with Donald Trump Jr.'
Speaking to his co-host Michael Knowles, Jr. admitted that the incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt may rework the briefing room seating arrangement to make way for Trump's new podcast 'bro' buddies.
Democratic National Committee National Finance Committee member Lindy Li said Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris did not take “responsibility” for her campaign spending billions of dollars during a donor call. The Harris campaign and the Democratic Party reportedly spent almost $1.5 billion during her short presidential run, which she launched on July 21. Li, on “NewsNation Now,” said she was shocked by the lack of accountability for the spending and loss, noting the call seemed “self-congratulatory.”
How bad are things at CNN and MSNBC? So bad that they were both recently beaten in ratings by the Hallmark Channel.
We are just three weeks off of one of the most contentious and historic presidential elections in recent history and more people are watching the Hallmark Channel than the supposed journalists and political analysts of CNN or MSNBC.
One has to wonder how CNN justifies Anderson Cooper’s $20 million dollar salary when people would rather watch Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.
