The Gentle Art of Negotiating with Terrorists
Posted By: FlyRight, 12/2/2024 5:28:48 AM
Offering to negotiate with Islamic terrorists is a statement of weakness. Jihadists only offer to negotiate out of fear, weakness or to entrap us, and they assume we do the same thing. Nothing would ever convince them that we genuinely want to live in peace with them, or that we prefer alternatives to violence. So any time we offer to negotiate, they see it as weakness or a trick. If our diplomats ever understood this cultural reality, they would stop being baffled when the negotiations fall apart.

I don't know how he does it. But here we have another day ending in "y," and it's another day of Republican strategist Scott Jennings having to put out multiple fireballs of misinformation on a CNN panel. It's nearly impossible to follow the bouncing ball of lies being told by multiple panel participants in this segment, but we'll try.
The entire trainwreck of a segment begins with left-wing social media content creator Leigh McGowan stating her belief that President-elect Donald Trump will be "sending the military into blue states to make them behave."
“What are you talking about?” an incredulous Jennings responds.
Since Elon Musk changed the name of "Twitter" to X, and President-elect Donald Trump mostly posts on Truth Social, his own social media platform, technically his ripostes can no longer be termed "Mean Tweets." But thanks to his epic win on November 5, whatever we want to call them now, Mean Tweets are back on the menu. The Wall Street Journal has been having a normal one this week. First, by dropping a thinly-sourced, concern-trolling piece that Trump may be replacing the embattled Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday.

Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is free-shaving rescue animals in Catalonia.
There's a real electricity around this often moribund transition period between presidencies. President-elect Donald Trump took about 12 hours to shake off his campaign fatigue and has been nothing but energy since. While the TDS lefties are losing their minds in an attempt derail any future that Pete Hegseth may have at the Pentagon, some of Trump's other nominees are behaving as if the clock has already begun ticking on their official time in office.
The Real Hunter Biden Scandal
0 replies
In what might be the greatest subtweet of 2024, outgoing Democratic congressman Dean Phillips spoke for many Americans when he posted on X: “Let’s just say the quiet part out loud, certain Americans are indeed above the law and influence is always for sale.”
Phillips was, of course, responding to the big news on Sunday that President Joe Biden had pardoned his son Hunter—something he had repeatedly vowed he would never do. In the “grant of clemency”
For Eithan Haim, operating on patients provides a welcome break from the federal criminal indictment hanging over him. Haim, who is 34 years old, works as a general surgeon at a regional hospital in Texas, dealing with ruptured appendixes, gunshot wounds, and whatever else comes through the ER. “Whenever I go into an operating room, any stress is gone,” he says. “It’s a beautiful thing.”
Haim’s alleged crime? That he violated HIPAA, a patient privacy law, when he revealed that Texas Children’s Hospital was providing gender transition treatments to minors after it announced that such services had been “paused.”

President Trump is scheduled to arrive in Paris this weekend. Today, almost in an act of divine providence, the government collapsed.
French Prime Minister Michel Barnier will submit his resignation to French President Emmanuel Macron tomorrow, according to France’s BFMTV. He is expected at the Elysee Palace at 10am local time. Barnier’s resignation is a constitutional obligation after he lost a vote of no-confidence earlier Wednesday evening triggering the collapse of his government.
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Hillsborough County, Florida, Sheriff Chad Chronister to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), he announced Saturday.
Chronister, who has served with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office for more than 32 years, received “countless commendations and awards for keeping his community SAFE,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. A proud graduate of the FBI National Academy’s 260th Session, Chad is Co-Chairman of the Regional Domestic Security Task Force for Region IV Tampa Bay, Council Member of the Florida Attorney General’s Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, Chairman of the Criminal Justice Sub-Committee,
President Trump’s DOGE will be trying to reduce the federal government’s huge budget deficit, but there is yet another big budget deficit in Washington.
In a November 22 tweet, Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni highlighted the fact that the Federal Reserve now has debt exceeding $210 billion. To illustrate his point, he included a graph, taken from the same Fed website as the one below, which showed that, before Powell, the Fed had no debts, but under Powell, the Fed now owes the government more than $210 billion, and worsening:
Yes, Tariffs Are a Tax. What about It?
8 replies
As the un-American left lays the groundwork for undoing President Trump’s second-term policy goals, one of the areas in which Trump’s enemies expect to have an easy target is trade policy.
Since conservatives believe in free markets (leftists do not), conservatives have generally espoused the idea that taxes are bad. We go farther than that, in our rhetoric, in fact; we often say, “Taxation is theft.”
The left therefore declares, “A tariff is just a tax, and you believe that taxes are bad, so you must oppose it!”
Note that leftists don’t say that they themselves must oppose tariffs. During the four long and painful years of the Biden-Harris regime,

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.
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 Adam Gray has won California's 13th Congressional District race, defeating incumbent Republican Rep. John Duarte, according to The Associated Press.
California's 13th Congressional District was the last seat to be called, with the district being one of the most competitive races in the Golden State. Republicans maintained the majority with 220, with Democrats trailing at 216.
Gray, a former state legislator who represented California's 21st Assembly District from 2012 to 2022, is considered a centrist Democrat who focused on key concerns for farmers in the Central Valley like water shortages.
As the Biden regime prepares to exit, it has orchestrated a move as a cunning attempt to undermine the incoming Trump administration’s agenda to streamline government operations.
In a last-minute deal, the Biden regime has locked in telework protections for 42,000 Social Security Administration (SSA) employees until 2029.
The agreement, reached with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), ensures remote work privileges for these federal workers for the next five years, despite the Trump administration’s explicit plans to slash such arrangements, according to Bloomberg.
CHANNAHON, Ill. -- Lion Electric, which manufactures electric buses, will suspend its operations at its Channahon facility, the company announced in a press release Tuesday. The company announced the suspension of operations at the plant as well as temporary layoffs of about 400 workers across the company, which is based in Canada. The layoffs leave Lion Electric with about 300 workers. The plant in Channahon opened in July of 2023 and was set to produce up to 20,000 vehicles a year. The plant was the first dedicated vehicle assembly plant in the Chicago area since 1965. In a statement, Joliet Mayor
The Biden-Harris administration has granted millions of dollars in funding for a virtual treatment that aims to help cure eating disorders by “affirming” LGBTQIA+ patients’ sexual orientation and gender claims. The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Auburn University Assistant Professor of Psychological Sciences Tiffany Brown and San Diego State University Professor of Psychology Aaron Blashill up to $5 million in grants to “develop and provide” the Promoting Resilience to Improve Disordered Eating (PRIDE) treatment — a virtual “identity-affirming eating disorder treatment for LGBTQIA+ patients,” the Auburn University College of Liberal Arts website states.
Mitt Romney, who will also be remembered by his weird Twitter pseudonym, Pierre Delecto, gave a farewell address on the Senate Floor Wednesday before leaving Washington and the government, hopefully for good.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Romney announced last year that he wouldn’t seek reelection following two failed Presidential campaigns and one term in the Senate.
This is the best thing Romney, 77, has done in his 30-year political career since his first failed run for Senate in 1994.
In his address, the career politician trashed those “who would tear at our unity” and “replace love with hate,” likely aimed at President Trump.
Aides of President Joe Biden are debating whether the outgoing Democratic president should issue preemptive pardons for figures President-elect Donald Trump has named as his political enemies.
Politico reported Wednesday that among those being discussed for blanket pardons are former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Biden - who has been busy dealing with the fallout from his decision to pardon his son Hunter over gun and tax crimes - hasn't been brought into the discussions yet, the outlet said.
White House officials fear that doling out pardons to people who haven't been charged with a crime could suggest impropriety.
The Washington Post’s national security reporter is unimpressed with Pete Hegseth’s 20-plus awards and commendations during his two combat tours, emails obtained Wednesday by Breitbart News reveal.
The Post’s Alex Horton, a national security reporter, pushed back Tuesday on Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s characterization of Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, as “highly decorated” for his military service.“Can you help me understand what highly decorated means in this release?” Horton asked Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s staff in response to an op-ed Tuberville wrote praising Hegseth.
Rachel Maddow lookalike and outspoken billionaire Trump Hater, Mark Cuban, and far-left NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley have seemingly thrown their hats in the ring for the Democratic ticket for the White House in 2028.
Cuban is so far-left and disliked by Trump supporters that he’s been hit with an endless supply of memes comparing his looks and personality to far-left MSNBC crank Rachel Maddow.
Enjoy this one: [Tweet]
In an appearance last week on “The Steam Room” podcast with Ernie Johnson and Barkley, Cuban gave his reaction to the 2024 election results, comparing it to the “horrible feeling” of losing a basketball game,
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins called President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden a “political timebomb” that left Dems in “the blast radius” — and pointed out his hypocrisy after years of claiming he would respect the Justice Department’s rulings.
The Democratic president late Sunday pardoned Hunter, who was convicted of federal gun and tax evasion charges earlier this year, after repeatedly denying he would use his pardoning powers for his 54-year-old son.
“With 50 days left in his presidency, Joe Biden just set off a political timebomb before leaving for Africa today,
Another day, another hit piece against Pete Hegseth.
The media has been attacking Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, with leaks about a years-old sexual assault allegation that was already investigated by police and proven to be false.
Now the media is attacking Pete Hegseth for his so-called drinking problem, citing anonymous sources.
NBC News, citing 10 current and former Fox News employees, reported that Pete Hegseth’s drinking worried his colleagues.

The potential for a shakeup left some among the petty press warning of a “boycott” should their ivory towers be toppled with expanded credentialing.
Like the “expert class” and the tenure-protected squatters within the halls of academia, a consensus through shunning differing opinions had ingrained hubris on qualifications. With the foundation of corporate media still rocked from a demonstrated lack of sway over voters for the 2024 election, talk of President-elect Donald Trump allowing podcasters and other alternative media producers into the White House press briefing had some wanting to take the ball, which had never been theirs, and go home.
“I’m sure the association is looking at all of its options,
Joe Biden’s Supreme Court Justice pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson, has quickly distinguished herself as arguably America’s dumbest justice after just three years on the bench. On Wednesday, she again lived up to that reputation in a case dealing with ‘gender-affirming’ care for children.
As CBS reports, The Supreme Court is addressing a case concerning the constitutionality of a Tennessee law that bars puberty blockers and hormone therapy for so-called ‘transgender’ youths. Back in March 2023, Tennessee’s Republican-led legislature instituted its ban on these dangerous medical procedures,
