Even as defeated Democrats try to decide who they are and what they believe in, their media handmaidens face a crisis of their own.
The comeuppance against their politically driven bias has arrived — and it’s proving to be expensive in more ways than one.
Recent days have reconfirmed that their war against Donald Trump is their most egregious assault on truth and fairness, but it was hardly the first or only.
CNN was caught this week boasting it helped free a desperate Syrian prisoner from a government slaughterhouse in Damascus.
Problem is, the man was quickly unmasked as an intelligence officer for the hated Assad regime,
Investigators are examining the digital footprint of Madison, Wisconsin school shooter Natalie 'Samantha' Rupnow as well as looking into verifying a possible manifesto that the 15-year-old may have left behind.
Rupnow opened fire on kids and staff at Abundant Life Christian School on Monday - raining bullets in the study hall and killing two before turning the gun on herself.
Accounts being linked to Rupnow online show an obsession with possible white supremacist ideologies and infamous past school shooters, as well as a chilling message from the 'Unabomber' Ted Kaczynski.

The Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight released a report finding that there was “no evidence” that President-elect Donald Trump supported rioters on January 6, 2021, who had called for former Vice President Mike Pence to be hung.
In an interim report released on Tuesday, the committee released its “findings on the events surrounding” the January 6, 2021, riot at the United States Capitol Building and the “politicization” of the January 6 Select Committee.Among the list of findings included in the report were ones that found Trump “did not attack his Secret Service detail” at any point that day, “there was no pre-planned off-the-record move to the Capitol
During COVID, government employees across the country were able to begin working from home and now, years later, they don’t want to give that up.
Trump wants to put an end to this. He expects people to actually show up to their offices to do their jobs. Can you imagine that?
Trump is serious about this too, and wants to fire employees who won’t return to working in-person. He absolutely should. if these people don’t need to show up for work, what are taxpayers paying them for?
The Washington Times reports:
It may seem somewhat anti-climactic, given that the outcome of the presidential race was clear in the wee hours of November 6, but Tuesday was the day the Electoral College formally met and cast their votes for the president and vice president, pursuant to 3 U.S. Code § 7.
The certified slates of electors for each state and the District of Columbia met in their respective states, beginning with Maryland and continuing through to Hawaii. [Tweet]

Police in Aurora, Colorado, reported that 14 people have been detained after a home invasion and stabbing at an apartment complex at the center of alleged activity from the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang.
This is the same apartment complex that Donald Trump warned of in September when he said it was being “taken over” by Tren de Aragua gangbangers. Trump was widely attacked by the establishment media for his assertion at the time.
The Aurora Police Department (APD) posted a message to X Tuesday morning and reported that 14 were arrested at the Edge at Lowry Apartment complex at around 2:30 a.m. when officers responded to a report

Massachusetts being Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren (D-Cherokee Nation) is still in the Senate, and while she maintained a relatively low profile during the presidential campaign, she is now sending up new smoke signals. After years of turning a blind eye to the massive corruption of the Biden crime family, to say nothing of the Clintons and other leftists, Warren has suddenly discovered that public servants shouldn’t enrich themselves at the public trough, and she’s demanding action. The only problem is, as you may already have suspected, she is demanding it of all the wrong people.
It is not entirely easy to tell. There was no big announcement that the seemingly interminable vote counting was finally finished. The sites that provide vote totals, however, have carried the same totals for about a week, when previously they were updating many times a day. And so it may be safe to say that the presidential election of 2024 is finally over. It ends with over three million fewer votes cast in 2024 than there were in 2020. Is that fishy? With so many allegations of chicanery swirling around the 2020 election, the answer is obvious.
Still, there may be a perfectly innocuous explanation.
Senate Democrats proposed a constitutional amendment on Dec. 16 that would abolish the Electoral College and ensure the country’s presidential elections were determined by the popular vote.
“It is time to retire this 18th-century invention that disenfranchises millions of Americans,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a press release.
He and Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) proposed the legislation after another proposal emerged in the House last week.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is attacking the merits of a House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report, which found she allegedly “tampered with at least one witness” of the January 6 Committee.
Cheney provided a lengthy statement to Fox News on Tuesday in response to the report released by subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA). Loudermilk wrote, “Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney” and recommended the FBI investigate Cheney’s alleged “violations.”

It’s been nearly two weeks since UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in midtown Manhattan. Thankfully, his alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, 26, was captured after someone recognized him at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa.
While the evidence all appears to confirm Mangione is the killer, in a lot of ways, it just doesn’t make sense why this kid, who grew up privileged and went to an Ivy League school and everything, would be driven to murder.

President-elect Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against pollster J. Ann Selzer due to her poll in the days before the election, which absurdly showed him trailing Vice President Kamala Harris by three points in Iowa.
Trump attorneys Edward Paltzik and Alan Ostergren filed the 29-page lawsuit Monday in the Iowa District Court for Polk County, seeking a jury trial. They allege that the defendants, including Selzer, the Des Moines Register, which sponsored the poll, its parent company Gannett Co., Inc., and Tribune Company, engaged in “brazen election interference” to benefit Harris. Fox News first reported that Trump had filed the suit.

Mangione faces 11 charges, including first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder.
The first-degree murder charge, which carries up to life in prison without parole, requires an aggravated factor. The indictment describes the alleged murder as furthering of an act of terrorism, casting the killing as an attempt to “intimidate or coerce” civilians and influence the policies and conduct of the government.

President Joe Biden‘s administration just agreed to a five-year extension to the science and technology sharing agreement with China. Established by President Jimmy Carter, the agreement has attracted increasing scrutiny in recent years because of China’s endemic use of U.S. scientific knowledge to bolster its military and intelligence services.Biden has made a bad decision by extending this agreement.The main problem here is that China views its access to U.S. science and technology through the fixed prism of one key interest:

DENVER (KDVR) — Fourteen people were detained by Aurora police following a reported armed home invasion at the troubled apartment complex, the Edge at Lowry. Aurora police chief Todd Chamberlain said in a press conference on Tuesday that at about 8:45 p.m. Monday at 1258 Dallas St., a male and a female victim were accosted by 13-15 armed individuals. Chamberlain said 13 were male and possibly three suspects were female. The victims were then forced into a different unit in the same complex against their will. There, Chamberlain said the victims were bound, beaten, pistol-whipped, and the male victim suffered a stab wound.
When I wrote on Judge Juan Merchan's ruling regarding the presidential immunity issue in relation to the Manhattan criminal trial against President-elect Donald Trump over falsified business records, I began with: "We knew the ruling would be coming at some point."

Joe Biden has released a statement on the tragic shooting that occurred at Abundant Life Christian School on Monday, and it's rightfully sparking controversy. As RedState reported, 15-year-old Natalie Lynn Rupnow opened fire, leaving two people dead. It appears she then committed suicide, as it has been confirmed no law enforcement officer discharged their weapon on the scene. Having read some of the shooter's "manifesto," she was undoubtedly a disturbed individual. Her family life was chaotic at best, and she had expressed a desire to take her own life before committing the shooting. Further, she appeared to be obsessed with past school shooters.

The report concluded that the attack was preventable and also called for an investigation into former Rep.

Donald Trump sued ABC News and George Stephanopoulos over the "This Week" host's lies about the judgment against Donald Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case.

There has been a development in the Ukraine war - that is, if you trust the source:
North Korean troops have been killed fighting Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk border region, the US has said.
These would be the first reported casualties since it emerged in October that North Korea had sent around 10,000 troops to reinforce Russia's war effort.

Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump’s transition team is recommending sweeping changes to cut off support for electric vehicles and charging stations and to strengthen measures blocking cars, components and battery materials from China, according to a document seen by Reuters. The recommendations, which have not been previously reported, come as the U.S. electric-vehicle transition stalls and China’s heavily subsidized EV industry continues to surge, in part because of its superior battery supply chain. On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to ease regulations on fossil-fuel cars and roll back what he called President Joe Biden’s EV mandate.
Judge Juan Merchan on Monday rejected a request from Trump’s attorneys to dismiss charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, citing claims of presidential immunity, Fox News reports.
The decision follows a July motion by Trump and his legal team asking Merchan to overturn his guilty verdict in New York v. Trump. They argued that the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity for official acts should apply.
However, Merchan ruled that the trial evidence pertained "entirely to unofficial conduct and, thus, receive no immunity protections."
"Further, even if this Court were to deem all of the contested evidence,
When certain Washington, D.C., waitstaff pledged to "refuse service and cause other inconveniences for members of the incoming Trump administration" last week, my first thought was, "Fire them all. Every single one."
That's a silly idea, of course — local restaurants couldn't fire that much staff without major disruptions, even for the customers they do like. I just like to vent my id before I sit down and actually think through a problem. "You just have to fire a few," was my second thought. "Maybe just one."
The story probably wouldn't have gone anywhere had it not been for Democrats sympathetic to displays of incivility toward conservatives.
Those who followed the details of the U.S, Mexico and Canada trade agreement, can easily see how Chrystia Freeland was never going to be the right person for Canada to have as Finance Minister while they attempt to navigate President Trump’s economic policy again.
In fact, I would not be surprised if someone in Mar-a-Lago told Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau he needed to ice her out if Trudeau wanted to stand a chance of a relationship with Donald Trump. As many people noted during her gleeful confiscation of funds from the trucker protests, Deputy Prime Minister/Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is a conniving, scheming, and all-around nasty piece of work.
On Dec. 11, ABC News’ Jay O’Brien reported false information about Linda McMahon, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. secretary of education, on “ABC News Live Prime.”
In the first minute of an eight-minute overview, O’Brien stated that McMahon has no formal education training and little experience:
“If she receives Senate confirmation, McMahon, who has no formal teaching training and little experience in education, will be tasked with setting policies for the nation’s schools.”
While much national attention is on the first 100 days of the Trump 2.0 presidency, there is growing reason to be concerned about the final days of Joe Biden's term.
Among those with a powerful interest in disrupting the peaceful transfer of power to a new Trump administration are: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), world government globalists, Sharia-supremacists, deep state bureaucrats and assorted homegrown and foreign-enabled terrorists, jihadists, and other revolutionaries. These hostile forces' ability to create chaos in the United States – especially collectively – cannot safely be ignored.
If they have any instinct for self-preservation, Iran and Hamas should be monitoring President-elect Donald Trump’s communications very closely these days.
A couple of weeks ago, there was the Truth Social post promising “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas didn’t release its hostages by Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
“Those responsible,” Trump noted, “will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America.”
He followed up during a press conference Monday.
When asked what he meant by his prior threat, Trump left it menacingly vague. “Well,” he said, referring to our adversaries, “they’re going to have to determine what that means,
On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow argued that President-Elect Donald Trump should file a lawsuit against Ann Selzer over her inaccurate poll in Iowa.
Marlow said, “[Trump’s] announced he wants a lawsuit against Ann Selzer for rigging her Iowa poll to influence the election, of course he should do this. It absolutely was election interference. This was an insurrection.”“The Alex Marlow Show,” hosted by Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, is a weekday podcast produced by Breitbart News and Salem Podcast Network.

A senior Russian general was killed Tuesday by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his apartment building in Moscow, a day after Ukraine’s security agency leveled criminal charges against him. A Ukrainian official said the country’s security service carried out the attack.
Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the chief of the military’s nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces, was killed as he left for his office. Kirillov’s assistant also died in the bombing, which was triggered remotely, according to Russian news reports. Images from the scene showed shattered windows and scorched and blackened brickwork.
There are growing indications that President Biden is about to fundamentally change the use of presidential pardons by granting “prospective” or “preemptive” pardons to political allies.
Despite repeated denials of President-elect Donald Trump that he is seeking retaliation against opponents and wants “success [to be] my revenge,” Democratic politicians and pundits have called for up to thousands of such pardons.
While there is little threat of any viable prosecution of figures like the members of the House’s Jan. 6 committee, the use of “White Knight pardons” offers obvious political benefits.
After many liberals predicted the imminent collapse of democracy and that opponents would be rounded up by the Trump administration,
Herald Square Christmas market destroyed

by massive fire, leaves firefighter seriously injured replies
Part of Herald Square’s holiday market was left in smoldering ruins Monday when a blaze ripped through several booths, leaving one firefighter seriously injured.
The fire broke out around 4 a.m., igniting a swath of the festive shopping corridor on Broadway between West 35th and West 36th Streets just after 4 a.m., the FDNY said.
Photos from the devastating scene show multiple vendors’ booths reduced to rubble, with only their green awnings lined with garland still intact. One firefighter suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries while battling the flames, and was taken to NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital, the department said.
Following the shooting on Monday at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin, Joe Biden is issuing a renewed call for greater gun control.
This news comes mere weeks after Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter for, among other things, gun crime. Hunter lied on a federal firearms application and then had his girlfriend dispose of the gun in a gas station trash can near a school, another crime.
This is a man with absolutely zero shame.
