Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity: Defeat
Iran's Oppressive Regime
Posted By: Mercedes44, 1/4/2025 6:10:19 AM
Iran's mullahs would surely love nothing more than to cut a deal with the incoming Trump administration that would enable them to stay in power, build their nuclear weapons and unleash them at a later date. Bribing adversaries to stop only provides funding, which finances their military so they can attack us later with bigger weapons. That is how North Korea and Iran built their nuclear weapons programs. China's was built by direct investment: a gift to kill us from Uncle Sam.

Conspiracies Too Awful to Imagine?

Over the decade of Donald Trump’s political career, the left—as exemplified by Democratic politicos, the media, academics, the Washington military hierarchy, and the permeant bureaucratic state—illustrated a level of furor, venom, and near madness unprecedented in modern American history.
Yet stranger still about such visceral, indeed lunatic hatred, despite Trump’s eccentricities and lack of a traditional political resume, his administration between 2017-21 was successful by traditional economic, military, security, and diplomatic standards. It was certainly not characterized by weaponizing the DOJ, Pentagon, CIA, or FBI, get-even vendettas, the use of lawfare, corruption, optional wars, open borders, hyperinflation, or a war on the environment—as predicted and alleged. Nevertheless,
As the world prepares for President Trump’s return to the Oval Office, there is renewed hope that his foreign policy philosophy—anchored in the mantra of "peace through strength"—will restore calm and stability to a tumultuous global stage. His first term demonstrated how a strong, decisive leader could shift the balance of power, deter aggressors, and prioritize American interests while avoiding entanglement in costly wars. With his reelection, President Trump has an opportunity to reassert this principle, fostering a global environment marked by respect, negotiation, and strength-backed peace.
A terrorist attack at 3:15 a.m. on New Year’s Day exposed to the world the deadly consequences of the dysfunctional leadership of New Orleans. The Crescent City has been controlled by the Democratic Party since 1872, when the last Republican Mayor left office. The current Democrat Mayor, LaToya Cantrell, is thankfully in the final year of her second term in office. She has been enmeshed in controversy from the beginning of her tenure as Mayor.
While she survived a recall effort, she is currently embroiled in a federal investigation involving local businessmen, who allegedly gave her gifts in exchange for the firing of a city employee.
The congressional joint session to count electoral votes on Monday is expected to be much less eventful than the certification four years ago that was interrupted by a violent mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump who tried to stop the count and overturn the results of an election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
This time, Trump is returning to office after winning the 2024 election that began with Biden as his party’s nominee and ended with Vice President Kamala Harris atop the ticket. She will preside over the certification of her own loss, fulfilling the constitutional role in the same way that Trump’s vice president,
With each news cycle, it seems that lame-duck President Joe Biden is going out of his way to say, “To hell with you!” to the American people and to the tens of millions of voters who made it clear in November that they want a new way forward. As RedState’s Rusty Weiss reported, in his latest move to place a cap on the Worst Presidency of All Time, Biden chose to award Presidential Medals of Freedom to two of the most divisive figures in America, twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and far-left financier George Soros, a man whose life's work appears to be tearing down America as we know it.
As we reported, Joe Biden laughably presented former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney the nation's second highest civilian award—the Presidential Citizens Medal—on Thursday for her role in being a key member of the corrupt J6 Committee. It was a Hollywood-produced show trial where there was no Republican cross-examination of witnesses, and Cheney herself has now been credibly accused of tampering with a witness, a charge that can come with a lengthy prison sentence. As if she needed to be shown yet one more time that she joined the wrong team, the medal ceremony was a cringefest where Biden was up to his usual creepy shenanigans. She got applause Thursday—

President Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, billionaire Democratic megadonor George Soros and several others at a White House ceremony on Saturday.
The White House said Clinton, Soros and the 17 other recipients of the prestigious award are “individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.”
“President Biden believes great leaders keep the faith, give everyone a fair shot, and put decency above all else,” the White House said in a statement.
Law Professor Nails Why Judge Mer

President-elect Donald J. Trump will be sentenced on January 10, but there will be no jail time, not that was ever a concern. The laws and statutes got so contorted that even CNN’s Elie Honig, the network's chief legal analyst and former assistant US attorney, couldn’t defend it, aptly calling it a total disaster of a case. In essence, Trump only got convicted because Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his team perverted the rule of law. Law professor Jonathan Turley nailed why Judge Juan Merchan wants to get this wrapped on January 10. It’s to give the liberal media the talking point they’ve salivated over for months:

Venezuela’s socialist regime on Thursday announced a $100,000 bounty for information leading to the capture of exiled opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González.
The bounty on González, who currently lives in exile in Spain, comes days before January 10, 2025, the start date of a new six-year presidential term in Venezuela as per the nation’s constitution. Both socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and González, a 75-year-old former diplomat, are planning presidential inaugurations in Caracas on that day. Both claim to have won the 2024 presidential election, which a large number of international observers have dismissed as rigged.
As they have throughout the hours and days following the shocking Cybertruck explosion outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, on New Year's Day, law enforcement officials conducted another press conference in which they disclosed multiple stunning new details regarding the incident. Below are some of the key details disclosed in Friday afternoon's presser:
Authorities recovered the phone of Matthew Livelsberger, the 37-year-old man believed to be the driver of the Cybertruck. The phone was damaged in the explosion, but they were able to extract the data.
Ingratiating Politics

Folks, I know this is not a popular opinion, but I have always promised to call them exactly as the data aligns and as I see them unfolding.
Taking a position in support of Tommy Robinson, taking a strong position against Muslim rape gangs in the U.K., and taking a position in favor of Nigel Farage are not controversial positions in the world of MAGA. In fact, they are popular positions widely held by all of us. However, those positions have little bearing on OUR set of challenges in the USA.

Former Representative Adam Kinzinger (IL) revealed that his transition to a Democrat is nearly complete and recalled the protests at the Capitol in 2021 as if they were worse than a war zone, even revealing he thought he'd have to "shoot as many Americans as bullets as I had in my gun" to protect himself.
Kinzinger made the comments in an interview with Forbes that was published on Friday. In it, he describes filming for a documentary called "The Last Republican" as if it were therapy for his incredibly fragile psyche.
"I realized at that moment the damage done to me and that I had been putting this off,"
The White House said on Friday that President Joe Biden is not considering raising the Stars and Stripes to full-staff for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
President Jimmy Carter died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100 in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. According to the U.S. flag code, the death of a sitting or former president is observed by flying the American flag at half-staff for 30 days from the date of death on all public buildings and grounds, military posts, naval stations, and naval vessels.

The Biden administration is banning certain natural gas water heaters from the market as part of its climate change agenda, a move critics say will jack up energy costs for low-income and senior households.
The move in the final days of the administration will take non-condensing, natural gas-fired water heaters off the shelves by 2029 in a bid to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which climate change advocates and President Biden say cause global warming.
The new rules will require new tankless gas water heaters to use about 13% less energy than today’s least efficient tankless models.
The Final Biden Disgrace?
28 replies
We can’t be sure, since his alleged presidency still has 16 days to go. But Biden’s awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros is likely to stand as his final insult to America.
In honoring Soros, Biden said:
“Born into a Jewish family in Hungary, George Soros escaped Nazi occupation to build a life of freedom for himself and countless others around the world,” reads the Soros citation.
Soros has been a relentless enemy of freedom throughout his adult life.
“His inspiring generosity reminds us all of our capacity and our obligation to stand up to the abuse of power and to be guardians of democracy and all people yearning to be

As my colleague Mike Miller reported earlier Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday and proceeded to gaslight viewers about his—and the entire Democrat/Corrupt Media establishment's—efforts to conceal Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline. Schumer went into full shameless mode, and basically denied what he said even when host Kristen Welker played a clip of him saying it. But Chuck had more to say, and when asked to analyze the Democrats' electoral defeats in the November elections, when the GOP took control of the House, Senate, and Oval Office, he appeared to blame voters for being too stupid
One of America’s most powerful Democrats is denying he deliberately misled the American public when he touted lame-duck President Joe Biden’s mental acuity last year.
Senator Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), the outgoing Senate Majority Leader, defended the legacy of Biden, 81, during an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday where he was confronted on past comments praising Biden’s mental capacity.
“His mental acuity is great, it’s fine, it’s as good as it’s been over the years,” Schumer said in a February 2024 press conference that NBC played back to him.
When Democrats show you who they are, believe them. (Photo) Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Medals of Freedom to George Soros in a ceremony on Saturday.
Soros has made it his life’s mission to bring down the US and Western civilization and let darkness reign for generations to come.
So who is George Soros? For those of you who are unfamiliar with Soros and his works. He slipped into the US after World War II.
After the war, he was later questioned on ’60 Minutes’ about his ghastly work in Germany during the war collaborating with the Nazis and stealing from Jews on their way to the death camps.
Motorists heading into some of Manhattan’s busiest neighborhoods have begun shelling out a first-in-the-nation $9 congestion toll — a controversial levy critics contend will drive people out of Gotham and devastate the local economy.
The scheme officially took effect at midnight on Sunday, meaning drivers entering the city below 60th Street will now have to pay $9 during peak hours — 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends — and $2.25 for off-peak hours.
During peak hours, large trucks will pay $21.60, small trucks $14.40 and motorcycles $4.50.
President Biden gave some parting attacks to the press during a public White House event Sunday night.
Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson reported that after signing the Social Security Fairness Act, Biden took a few questions from the crowd which led the president to target President-elect Donald Trump.
"Do you still believe he’s a threat to democracy?" a reporter asked."I think what he did was a genuine threat to democracy," Biden responded. (Photo) After responding to the allegation that Trump plans to end birthright citizenship, Biden switched the topic to attacking the reporters.

Senator Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) questioned if deporting everyone in the United States illegally was “realistic” Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Host Kristen Welker said, “Let’s talk about the Republicans’ agenda. When I spoke to President-elect Donald Trump he said his mass deportation plan was his top priority. He wants to deport everyone who is here illegally. Do you support that plan to deport everyone who is here illegally?” Thune said, “Well I think certainly there are categories, people who have committed crimes. There are over a million people that the current administration had targeted
