Censorship Victim Warns MAGA: Don’t
Trust Zuckerberg
Posted By: Mercedes44, 12/1/2024 5:15:43 AM
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is kissing up to President-elect Donald Trump, trying to worm his way into the MAGA sphere and pretend he is enthusiastic for reform. But as a victim of devastating Facebook censorship warned, Zuckerberg is not to be trusted, especially since he has yet to apologize to and restore the data for multiple users whose lives were transformed by online censorship. When Zuckerberg issued a semi-apologetic letter and made a phone call to Trump over the summer, many conservatives, and Donald Trump himself, were delighted. Since then, Facebook censorship — including election-interfering censorship — continued unabated. Like many a careful businessman before him

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised President-elect Donald Trump that Canada would toughen controls over the long undefended joint border, a senior Canadian official said on Sunday.
Trudeau flew to Florida on Friday to have dinner with Trump, who has promised to slap tariffs on Canadian imports unless Ottawa prevents migrants and drugs from crossing the frontier.
Canada sends 75% of all goods and services exports to the United States and tariffs would badly hurt the economy. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who sat at the head table with Trudeau and Trump, said the two men discussed additional security measures Canada would be introducing.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that countries in BRICS that try to “replace the mighty U.S. Dollar” would “face 100% Tariffs” and should also be prepared to “say goodbye to selling” in the United States economy. BRICS, which stands for the countries of “Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa,” is described as being “an informal grouping of emerging economies hoping to increase their sway in the global order,” according to the Council on Foreign Relations. The group was established in 2009, with South Africa joining a year later.
A Syrian rebel leader may have been killed in a Russian airstrike on a terrorist hideout after his forces seized Aleppo in a shock offensive, local media has reported.
Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the current commander-in-chief of the Hay'at Tahrir al-Shamgroup, is understood to have been inside the building at the time of the attack.
Syrian newspaper Al-Watan reported that a tight security cordon has reportedly been place around the organisation's headquarters - but whether Al-Julani's has been killed or not is yet to be confirmed.

Criminal law Should be Inelastic
7 replies
Criminal law should be clear so that those covered by it can understand what is permitted and what is prohibited. It’s not the place for creative interpretations by the judiciary or partisan prosecutors. Jack Smith has now dropped his cases against president-elect Donald Trump on the grounds that a president cannot be criminally prosecuted, but there is much more that made these prosecutions untenable: They were never grounded in any fair reading of the law that Smith relied upon. The two cases involved Trump’s handling of classified material and his purported efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

In the world of geopolitics created by the U.S. Dept of State and CIA, the pretending is thick.
A recent report has Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy now offering to give up territory to Russian President Vladimir Putin in exchange for NATO membership for the remaining portion. The story is sold by western media as if Zelenskyy has options, he doesn’t. However, Putin has a very strong weapon that President Trump has to navigate with a team of people around U.S. policy that are tenuous at best. Let’s discuss without the pretending.

The Other American Border Towns

If I asked you to think of the place that defines America, you might think of Washington, D.C., or Chicago, or Los Angeles, or monuments like Mount Rushmore, or Mount Vernon, or the Statue of Liberty. But for Andy Hickman, there is no place more American than the woods of upstate New York, where he grew up, and where he writes from for this month’s installment of his series, “Falling Back in Love with America.”
For the past month, Andy and his wife Keturah have been peering over the edge of America into Canada, from their perch in Churubusco, way up in New York State.
Class warfare is nothing new when it comes to the left. It’s a massive part of how liberals sow division among people who would otherwise get along. We see it in how Democrats always portray Republicans as only looking out for the interests of the rich, as though wealthy people are always the enemy. In the UK, the Labour Party has had power since July. Labour is a far-left party that has its roots in protecting the interests of labor unions and socialists. But today’s Labour Party is playing a different sort of class warfare game.
The Russia-North Korea-China relationship is not an equilateral triangle but an evolving alliance with conflicting interests, and reportedly beginning to show signs of fracture and lack of trust.
One report suggests that, ultimately, North Korea may dispatch 100,000 troops to Russia.
China nevertheless views Russia as principally a source of oil and raw materials. The Kremlin might hope to rejuvenate itself by re-asserting its failing primacy in Central Asia amidst the independent post-Soviet countries.

Since Donald Trump’s reelection victory, some conservatives have discussed the possibility of using recess appointments, temporary appointments made while Congress is out of session, to fill positions in Trump’s new Cabinet. However, the discussions about recess appointments have generated more heat than light, with two groups frequently talking past each other.
Moreover, much of the discussion has focused on a scenario that seems unlikely to happen, could well get struck down in court if it did, and represents an unwise use of time and political capital. Herewith a few key points of analysis about the topic du jour inside the Beltway.
A pair of Tren de Aragua gangbangers tied to a wild Aurora, Colorado apartment invasion were arrested in a major NYC drug trafficking and credit card scam bust Wednesday that also netted an arsenal of deadly assault rifles, The Post has learned.
Denyeer Aramillo Meneses, 23, and Edison Pena Angulo, 25, were picked up during an early-morning raid in the Bronx by a gang task force led by the NYPD and US Homeland Security Investigation, according to law enforcement sources.
In total, 15 suspected members of the Venezuelan migrant gang were nabbed following a months-long investigation into narcotics trafficking and gang violence, the sources said.
Between Medicaid and the state’s Essential Plan, 8.5 million New Yorkers enjoy taxpayer-supported health coverage “for the poor” — but more than a third, 3 million, earn too much too qualify, reports the Empire Center.
That’s roughly $20 billion a year in excess and potentially fraudulent spending, fostered by the progressive political class’ belief that the more people signed up, the better.
The center’s Bill Hammond identified the mismatch by simply comparing the known enrollment numbers with the Census report on New York income levels.
Created in the 1960s to serve the truly poor, the state-federal Medicaid program has gradually expanded to cover those with somewhat higher incomes; with its Essential Plan,

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter despite the White House saying over and over he would not do it.
The pardon includes charges Hunter faced or might have faced from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024.
Yes, ten years. Absolute insanity. That means anything else that pops up in that time period doesn’t count. Hunter cannot face any charges. Hunter pleaded guilty to tax evasion. He was going to face sentencing on December 16 for lying on a federal form by saying he was not using drugs or addicted to drugs when trying to buy a gun.
Biden wrote in a press release:

The bromance between George Clooney and Barack Obama is reportedly on the rocks, with the Hollywood star said to be “furious” with Obama for setting him up as the “patsy” to end President Joe Biden’s career and then absorb the blowback following Kamala Harris’ election defeat. Another unnamed source said: “George feels duped and vows he’s not going to be anyone’s political water boy anymore.” George Clooney emerged as a major player in the 2024 presidential election cycle when he wrote a New York Times op-ed calling for President Joe Biden to give up his re-election bid following his disastrous debate performance in June.
Donald Trump is on course to assemble the richest cabinet in American history, with a number of billionaires sending its total net worth soaring over $9 billion - not even including Elon Musk.
While Musk will serve in an unofficial capacity focused on slashing government waste and therefore will not need Senate approval, those that will are set to break records.
The previous mark was unsurprisingly set by Trump in 2016 when his first cabinet boasted a combined net worth of $6 billion.
Making Greenland Great Again?

It was the summer of 2019 and President Trump was about to embark on a state visit to the tiny Nordic country of Denmark.
Both parties were readying themselves for bilateral talks, but that was before President Trump floated one of his famous spontaneous trial balloons.
Trump said that he had had a conversation with the Danish prime minister, stating that the U.S. might be interested in purchasing the island of Greenland. He said that the concept came up and he said that he would be interested in the purchase from a strategic point of view.
This did not sit well with the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, who has been described
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, issued a statement after he received a full and complete pardon from his father, stating that he would “never take the clemency” he received “for granted.”
In a post on X, Matt Viser, a White House reporter with the Washington Post revealed that the younger Biden had issued a statement that he had “admitted and taken responsibility” for his mistakes “during the darkest days” of his addiction. Hunter Biden added in his statement that he would “devote the life” he had rebuilt to helping others who were “still sick and suffering.”
It's not easy being George Clooney these days.
The realization has finally hit him that Obama, his best friend forever, used him for a patsy in the recent election.
First he had him hold a fundraiser for Joe Biden, where he could clearly see Joe's senilkity, and then he had Clooney write the editorial for the New York Times calling on Democrats to get that guy out of there. Now that the electoral disaster has happened for the Democrats as a result, Obama has left Clooney holding the bag.

America is about to go to war over whether the government has the power to deport entire families of illegal aliens. That question involves “birthright citizenship”—that is, whether a child born in the U.S. to illegal alien parents is automatically a U.S. citizen and, thus, an “anchor baby?”
The answer, by any fair reading of the Constitution and history, is “No.”
Our nation must have complete control of our borders. No illegal alien should be able to circumvent the laws of our nation. English common law, the basis for U.S. law, did not allow such people, the children of “hostile occupiers,” to become citizens by virtue of birth.
George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley has now weighed in on the sweeping pardon that Joe Biden just gave his son on Sunday. It not only covers the crimes for which he was convicted or to which he pled guilty, but it also covers any other possible crimes that may have occurred over 11 years from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. Turley just eviscerated Biden when he was asked about it by Fox News and the "bad precedent" that Biden could be setting. (X Video) Turley pointed out how this brings to mind the actions of Bill Clinton, who pardoned his brother.
Democrats are looking to the governors of blue states as both a line of defense against the incoming Trump administration and a promising bench for the party in 2028.
Governors are seen as leading the charge of Democratic resistance as the GOP gets ready to take control of Congress and the White House next year: California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office promised to “Trump-proof” state laws, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has pledged to be a “warrior” against controversial policies.
We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn’t.
So it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people.
Thus on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” for Robert Hunter Biden, 54.
The pardon Joe vowed he would never give comes just days before Hunter was due to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware in June and California felony tax-
Democrat fundraisers are ticked off after Vice President Kamala Harris (D) lost the election to Donald Trump, according to veteran Democrat strategist James Carville.
During Thursday’s episode of “Politics War Room,” Carville criticized Harris’s campaign, saying, “The resistance is going to have trouble raising money. These fundraisers are burnt,” the Hill reported Saturday.
“They’re really p* now, and the damage that the 2024 campaign has done, the damage that this decade has done to the Democratic brand is almost unfathomable, almost unfathomable,” he continued:
