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. Ukraine's military intelligence agency, the GUR, has also said at least 30 North Korean troops had been killed or wounded in fighting over the weekend.[snip] Independently verifying US claims is a tricky business, at least for the next month or so.

Floridians will no longer be able to access the most popular porn site next year due to a row about age verification laws.
Pornhub will geo-block people in the sunshine state from accessing its website from January 1, like it has done for a dozen other states.
The move is a response to a new bill in Florida that requires adult websites to verify the age of people who use their sites, by using government-issued IDs or similar documentation.
Pornhub said it does not want minors accessing its site, but believes the law puts 'everybody's privacy at risk.'

Mistake in Syria During Pathetic Attempt
to Go Viral 8 replies
CNN is in quite a bit of hot water after a desperate attempt to go viral went horribly wrong in Syria.
It all started when the left-wing network's Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward produced a story about how she and others supposedly released a man from a prison formerly controlled by Bashar al-Assad. CNN immediately published the video of the ordeal, bragging about how their cameras "caught the moment" he was "freed."
Ward then went to social media to garner clicks, calling it "one of the most extraordinary moments" she had ever witnessed.
Nothing They Can Do About the NJ Drone'

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insisted that there is nothing the federal government can do about the recent New Jersey drones because he has no “authority.” He told concerned Americans that the drones are not threatening to the United States, stating that they are most likely just “convenience store drones” or “planes.”
“We can't just shoot a drone out of the sky,” Mayorkas told CNN. “They’re very, well, maybe drones in the sky, of course, but those are commercially available. One can go into a convenience store and buy a small drone.”

A newly minted and massive Iranian drone carrier was captured in new satellite images sailing in the Persian Gulf this week — the ship’s first reported sighting since leaving its home port for the first time in mid-November.
The satellite images taken Thursday by commercial operator Maxar Technologies shows three Iranian drone ships in the waters off the country’s coast as theories have swirled in the US that Iran could be behind the mysterious drone sightings across the tri-state area, according to Business Insider.
Iran’s new carrier — the Shahid Bagheri — is a converted shipping container that was outfitted to support drone operations and was last seen on Nov. 12,
Given the state of affairs in Ukraine and the Middle East and the rise of China as a chief U.S. adversary, one would assume that the Department of Defense has its hands full combating real threats to U.S. national security. One would also assume that under the fraught geopolitics of the current world, the Department of Defense (DoD) would be harnessing its precious resources toward identifying future menaces that literally pose an existential threat to the security of the United States. [snip]
the leaders of the DoD think otherwise. In fact, the DoD believes that the climate crisis is a “national security priority.”

Texas heard that the Biden administration was auctioning off parts of the border wall, so they decided to grab their little paddle and a fist full of cash and get to bidding.
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick made the announcement during an appearance with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday night.
"I don't know if you've heard the latest today, Laura, but Joe Biden is now hauling off the border wall that's been lying down for years, and he wants to auction it off starting at $5 apiece," Patrick revealed.
Climate doomsayers appear to understand their alarmist message did not resonate on the national level during the 2024 election.
“Climate change” ranked dead last among the most important issues of the 2024 cycle, according to Pew Research.
Climate doomers are searching for a new way to impress their anti-capitalistic ideas on the American economy, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
Their newest strategy is to focus on pressuring local organizations, state agencies, and state commissions to change rules and laws, thereby effecting change on the local level where conservationists may be unsuspecting.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed a one-time $300 payment to individuals earning $150,000 or less, and $500 to couples making $300,000 or less, her office announced Monday.
In what would be the state’s first “Inflation Refund,” Hochul wants to send about 8.6 million New Yorkers a few hundred dollars starting in fall 2025 if approved by the legislature, an official press release stated.
Around $3 billion in taxpayer funds would be allocated for the payments, which the governor called a “break” for her constituents.
.“Because of inflation, New York has generated unprecedented revenues through the sales tax — now, we’re returning that cash back to middle class families,
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has released a press statement reacting to Daniel Penny's acquittal in the death of Jordan Neely.
"As with every case, we followed the facts and the evidence found from the beginning to end," Bragg maintained.
After being deadlocked all day Friday, jurors reached Penny's not-guilty verdict within an hour of deliberations Monday morning on the remaining criminally negligent homicide charge. The prosecution decided to drop the top second-degree manslaughter charge Friday afternoon in a Hail Mary effort to salvage the crumbling case.
The list of stories on the corruption committed by Democrats in major cities across the country might rival the length of your average telephone book. In this latest, sordid situation on Friday, we find ourselves learning about alleged corruption in the city of Boston, thanks to a heads up by our friend Andy Ngo:

Tania Fernandes Anderson, a woke BLM Muslim former illegal migrant Democrat serving on the Boston City Council, has been arrested by the FBI after being indicted on five counts of aiding and abetting wire fraud and one count of aiding and abetting theft
Establishment Republican strategist Karl Rove attacked highly popular Vice President-elect JD Vance this week for his successful Senate bid in 2022, claiming he was a poor candidate.
Rove’s odd and unprompted insult came in a comment to the New York Times in an article published Thursday about Steven Law stepping down as head of the Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)-aligned Senate Leadership Fund super PAC:
“There was a candidate running in Ohio who was a terrible fund-raiser and was not a particularly effective candidate and the rest of the Republican ticket is winning by — from 18 to 24 points,” Mr. Rove said. “

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.

Michelle Obama appeared on the Jennifer Hudson Show wearing a skirt that resembled a trash bag and slouchy over-the-knee boots.
“The former first lady sat down with Hudson for a conversation that touched on the holiday season, her new book “Overcoming: A Workbook” and the Netflix series “The Later Daters,” which she and Barack Obama helped produce through their company Higher Ground. For the daytime talk show interview, Obama wore an asymmetrical black dress from Bottega Veneta in a leather-like material underneath a blazer which brought a business energy to the look and introduced a taupe hue,”

During an interview with Boston 25 on Tuesday, First Lady Jill Biden defended President Joe Biden pardoning their son, Hunter, by stating that the President “talked to a lot of legal experts,” about the prospects of pardoning Hunter and “circumstances changed.”
Boston 25 Host and Investigative Reporter Kerry Kavanaugh said that she asked Biden if there are things she wished resonated more with the American public and then played a clip of Biden saying, “I think some of the accomplishments of the White House, some of the things that Joe did, opening our schools, ending the pandemic, the infrastructure, just so many things that he accomplished.

Hollywood LGBTQ stars and other elites are reportedly in a state of panic over the incoming second Trump administration, with some having already fled the country or are considering doing so in the near future.
“It’s keeping me up at night [worrying] for myself and the wider community, especially the transgender community,”Kirsten Schaffer, executive director of Women in Film, told TheWrap. “There were more guardrails last time: [Trump] didn’t have the House, Senate and judiciary.” “I think there will be a much bigger exodus from America this time around,” screenwriter Brent Hartinger, who left the country in 2017 after Trump was elected the first time, told the outlet.
President Joe Biden appears to be struggling with the prospect of retiring from public life, according to a New York Times report published Tuesday.
After Democrats ousted him as their presidential candidate in July, Biden, 82, who has been a public official since 1973 (51 years), is not enjoying the prospects of sunsetting his over half a century long career at the center of American politics, the NYT’s Peter Baker and Zolan Kanno-Youngs reported.
Biden reportedly told allies after he dropped out of the race that he was bored, moody, and angry. He’s apparently angry because many Democrats opposed his pardon of his son.
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?

On Monday, during his hosting duties on CNN’s “Newsroom,” Jim Acosta called on media outlets to “stand firm” against President-elect Donald Trump’s efforts to use the legal system to hold the press accountable.
Acosta told CNN contributor Brian Stelter the media should not have to worry “about this sort of stuff.” “I just wonder, Brian, what this is going to mean for news organizations, for tech companies?” Acosta said. “We’re going to talk about the implications for tech companies in a moment, but it seems to me that there’s a lot of this bending the knee going on. And I’m sure the folks over at ABC
For years, conservatives have been vilified as “conspiracy theorists” for claiming the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from President Trump.
The mainstream media and liberal pundits mocked anyone who questioned the outcome, dismissing them as dangerous extremists or delusional crackpots.
Now, the tide has turned, and the hypocrisy is glaringly obvious as liberals peddle their own wild predictions.
Enter USAF veteran and vocal leftist Jerry Doran, who has taken to social media to allege that President Trump will be arrested on December 20th under Executive Order 13848.

James O’Keefe dropped an undercover video on Monday in which one of President Joe Biden's National Security Council advisors explains that the cognitively declining president is far worse off than the public knows.The video should not be shocking — given the countless number of times we've seen Biden's brain malfunction, the confused president shake hands with the air or wander around aimless on a stage after he finishes speaking, and other clear signs that his dementia is rapidly progressing — but it is.
National Security Council (NSC) advisor Henry Appel spoke frankly about the current state of Biden's deteriorating state, unaware that he was being filmed.
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is said to be 'apoplectic' and 'humiliated' following the network's decision to pay $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit between ABC and Donald Trump.
The settlement, which includes $15 million towards a presidential foundation and $1 million for Trump's legal fees, has sparked a firestorm within the Disney-owned news organization.
Stephanopoulos, a former aide to Bill Clinton in the 1990s, was particularly incensed at being compelled to issue a public apology, according to the New York Post.
Insiders explained how the veteran anchor remains 'defiant' amid the fallout.
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is “apoplectic” and “humiliated” by the network’s decision to pay $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by President-elect Donald Trump, The Post has learned.
Stephanopoulos, who claimed Trump had raped E. Jean Carroll during an interview with Republican lawmaker Nancy Mace, was particularly upset about being forced to apologize, a source with knowledge of the situation said. (Photo) Another source told The Post that “George is defiant.”
A third source said Stephanopoulos “is a very guarded person. His circle of trust is so small, and a lot of them don’t work [at ABC anymore].“

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.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has something to say on that issue that the Democrats won’t be happy about. Adams bluntly described a disturbing trend he’s witnessed among young people
