They say one should never speak ill of the dead, so I won’t… kind of.
Instead, I’ll simply say about the death of Jimmy Carter that it marks the end of the narrative of the activist left-wing president.
When he was elected in 1976, Carter was the first of his kind (and not just in the sense of the Southern woman who said, “Well, it’s nice to have a president that don’t have a accent.”). A man running as a left-wing populist, an activist intent on taking advantage of the confusion and despondency left by the Nixon administration, a politician who intended to take the country

The infamous socialite and so-called “Catwoman” Jocelyn Wildenstein passed away Tuesday at age 84. A case study in extreme plastic surgery, she was also a canary in the coal mine for our cultural obsession with augmentation.
She should have been a cautionary tale, like Michael Jackson, of the dangers of going too far in the quest for perfection. But now, new generations of influencers and celebrities are spending just as much to have even more procedures in the same distorted pursuit. Unfortunately for Wildenstein, she was so far ahead of her time in terms of surgical advancements that she ended up looking botched — freakish, many would say —

Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) There is a lot of reflection all over the place as we wind down the longest one-term presidency in the history of the United States of America. It seems as if Joe Biden has been in office for forty years, not four. As we learned on New Year's Day, it's not time to breathe a sigh of relief just yet.
During the bad drug trip that was the 2020 presidential election, Biden and his advocates kept saying that "decency" and "dignity" were on the ballot. Anyone who had followed Biden's career knew how laughable it was

So busy has the FBI been these past four years rounding up the “terrorists” who “stormed” the Capitol on January 6, 2021 -- nearly 1600 and counting -- that they have not had time to track guys like New Orleans lifetaker Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
Make no mistake: From the Feds’ perspective, the J6ers were terrorists. To read the charging documents of those arrested shows just how much high-level time was frivolously spent identifying these citizens, charging them, arresting them, and making sure they were convicted. In the zero-sum game of law and order, the only ones who benefitted from the feds’ January 6 obsession were lethal clowns like Jabbar.

It seems like just this summer that I wished Presidentish Joe Biden a "fondless farewell" as "easily the worst human being to hold the office of president of the United States." [Steve, it was just last summer —Editor] But now that the man whose "ability to f*** things up" has never been underestimated at this site prepares to leave the office he barely held, let's reminisce about the things we won't miss the most.
"Biden exited the stage last night," I wrote of his too-late-for-primetime DNC farewell address, "largely forgotten before he'd walked onto it." He'll vacate the White House the same way on the morning of Jan. 20.

Following up on John’s post regarding the terrorist attack outside the Trump International Hotel yesterday in Las Vegas, I want to note that police now say camp-fuel canisters and large firework mortars were stuffed into the back of a Tesla Cybertruck. These materials caused the explosion that killed the driver and inflicted minor injuries on seven others.
Elon Musk and Tesla immediately provided assistance to law enforcement in the investigation. Elon himself reported on X that he had “confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.” In fact, the design

Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency is coming to an end, and according to reports, White House staffers describe a somber mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with Biden spending his final weeks in office reflecting on what could have been and probably wondering what other monsters he can pardon.
While Biden has recently expressed regret over dropping out and says he could have won, according to the Wall Street Journal, that belief “isn’t widely shared in the White House or among the Democratic establishment, where the more common view is that the party would have suffered a much larger electoral defeat and lost even more congressional seats had Biden remained the nominee.”

Looking back over this year, and really the last eight years, perhaps the oddest observation is the degree to which the media was apparently motivated by one thing: if Trump said it, it must be wrong!
I started thinking about that this morning when Jonathan Turley observed the degree to which the media and the conventional wisdom combined to suppress and even explicitly censor the theory that SARS-CoV-2, the “COVID virus,” originated in a lab leak.
The whole history of theories of the origin of COVID-19 was full of people announcing with absolute certainty that it originated in one particular way, generally with limited data.
Some of the theories were

More pure idiocy from green pushers spread by the complicit media, via Yahoo News:
Climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers
More than one-third of all animals on Earth, from beetles to cows to elephants, depend on plant-based diets. Plants are a low-calorie food source, so it can be challenging for animals to consume enough energy to meet their needs. Now climate change is reducing the nutritional value of some foods that plant eaters rely on.
Human activities are increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and raising global temperatures. As a result, many plants are growing faster across ecosystems worldwide.

The disintegration of the attempted coverup of President Biden’s senility must be the biggest American news story of 2024. President Trump highlighted the contribution of prominent Democrats to the coverup in the video compilation below. Who are your favorite contributors? Attorney General Merrick Garland is probably mine. Thanks to the reviled Mitch McConnell, Garland does not hold a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen runs a close second. General Milley is beyond category. What a crew. (X) But politicians are always going to lie. The mainstream press is the villain of the story.

It seems President Biden won’t stop at letting his convicted son Hunter off the hook. The White House staff is reportedly pondering an unprecedented, pre-emptive set of presidential pardons for numerous officials who haven’t been formally charged or convicted of federal crimes but may be liable for indictment or conviction under the incoming Trump administration.
Prominent on that list is Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID).
Why Fauci? Team Biden is mum. But the most likely rationale is a possible perjury charge: Fauci testified under oath in congressional inquiries. At issue: Fauci’s responses to the crucial question of whether American

In September 2022, 17-year-old high school volleyball player Payton McNabb was seriously injured during a match by an opposing player, a boy who decided he was transgender. The injuries Payton received plague her to this day. The Independent Women's Forum has her story and has produced a documentary about her struggle and her heroic journey to stand up for the rights of women and girls. Payton's story highlights, among other things, one of the most pernicious aspects of the transgender movement: the utter disregard for other people. It is not enough that children are sexualized and their bodies and minds irrevocably altered by surgery, hormones, and puberty blockers.
