Zuckerberg goes full Musk
Posted By: Judy W., 1/8/2025 8:05:08 AM
The first week of January laid a thick layer of ice and snow across Poca, West Virginia, and much of the rest of the eastern United States, as the weather returned to normal. (Snip) After Trump’s second re-election, the world is returning to normal, not that I care much about the rest of the world. President Trump’s anticipated return to power is only half the reason the world has changed for the better. The other half is the end of the FJB presidency, which showed the true goal of the American left is destruction.

The Ghosts of Charlie Hebdo
4 replies
Just for a change, our regular and increasingly obnoxious feature of "As I said twenty years ago..." is being pre-empted by the marginally less obnoxious feature of "As I said ten years ago..."
Exactly a decade ago - January 7th 2015 - two Muslim fanatics burst into the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and killed a dozen people, including the bulk of the senior editorial staff and some of France's best known cartoonists.
(Snip) Throughout the very bad ten years for free speech that followed, I have thought often of Stéphane "Charb" Charbonnier, the editor of Charlie Hebdo and a great cartoonist in the French style.
It’s astonishing how Democrats can’t accept defeat or take accountability. With Donald J. Trump returning to the White House, they’re directing their frustration and anger at one man: Attorney General Merrick Garland. Why? Well, because he dithered and didn’t aggressively pursue the phantom charges against Trump, which could have led to his being convicted or something. I don’t know—it’s hard to rationalize people who have a mental illness. It’s funny how they’re slamming the Department of Justice for being terrible at their jobs. The best is the opening line from The Huffington Post, where anger over January 6 was seemingly a bipartisan event—it wasn’t. No one cared except Democrats and
The Comforting Lie of Shared Humanity

As a conservative proud of the traditions and uniqueness of my nation, I have always been a monarchist. Nations which removed their monarchies rarely substituted greater political stability by doing so, and I always felt that they had lost something of themselves in the process. (Snip) Charles is a Globalist puppet who thinks he is an independent man. It’s a devastating combination both for Britain and for the monarchy. All of his views are those of the Globalist middle and upper class. All of them are harmful to the interests of Britain and the British people.
The Most American Christmas Ever

Because the defense of liberty takes no holiday, this is the third annual posting of this Christmas Day newsletter.
The old farmer was there with Washington when he crossed a frozen Delaware River in blizzard-like conditions on Christmas 1776. And so the photographer took a daguerreotype photo of Conrad Heyer in 1852, who 103 years early was the first European child born in Waldoboro, Maine. At 24, he had enlisted in the Continental Army and spent 1776 with Washington, whose rag-tag army went from victory in Boston to defeat in New York to a daring raid and stunning victory in the Battle of Trenton, New Jersey.
Musk Derangement Syndrome

Move over, Trump Derangement Syndrome! It is time to make room for the latest pathology: Musk Derangement Syndrome.
The hysteria has been building for some time. It wasn’t so long ago that Elon Musk enjoyed enviable street cred among the brotherhood of snotty, self-congratulating elites. A green energy guru, he made the hearts of the Sierra Club Sultans go pit-a-pat with his talk of “sustainable transport” and solar roofs.
Then Musk made several missteps. The first was buying Twitter and restoring open discourse to a platform that was started to encourage, well, open discourse but had become a headquarters of government surveillance and censorship during the first Trump administration.
Why Didn't They Steal It?
6 replies
They did. Eric Hovde? Kari Lake? Mike Rogers? Sam Brown? 12 House Seats. Thousands of state, county, states and county attorneys, school board seats
But why not the whole show? Simple. The bankers wanted Trump.It was touch and go, their decision, hanging on to the last minute, until Kamala, the MKUltraed sex-operative puppet was revealed as too broken to run a corner store. They didn’t change fast enough for the U.K., and Kier Starmer is their last, and I think final, PM/WEFer patsy. Nigel Farage is out-polling everyone because Britain is on fire right now and the Conservative Party suicided trying to please everyone. Farmers are once again clogging Westminster.
So it turns out, in a way, that I owe Social Distancing an apology. Since the heady, crazy days of 2020 I’ve been describing social distancing as useless, irrational, tyrannical and stupid.
In fact I’ve used Social Distancing as an example of pure irrational hysteria and of the pernicious effect of State and Media led dishonesty turning the brains of millions of gullible morons into mush.
(Snip) But it turns out that there is one group of people who might have actually benefited from it.
The unvaccinated.

A jury found Daniel Penny innocent of Alvin Bragg’s ridiculous charges related to subduing a homeless man who threatened passengers in a subway car. The exoneration demolished a media narrative that Penny was a white supremacist stalking black men.
AP said, “A Marine veteran who used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider was acquitted on Monday in a death that became a prism for differing views about public safety, valor and vigilantism.”
Penny held the man, Jordan Neely, until authorities could take him into custody. A drug called K2 likely killed him.
AP quoted Andre Zachery as “his father,” a man who apparently was never in the Neely’s life.
Daniel Penny was greeted with shouts of “Guilty!” as he arrived in court Monday morning ahead of closing arguments in his lightning-rod Manhattan manslaughter trial in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
Penny, 26, strolled into Manhattan Supreme Court around 10:15 a.m. flanked by his attorneys Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser — as a 12-person jury will hear final remarks from prosecutors and the defense before the panel begins deliberations.
A group of a dozen protesters chanted, “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” as the Marine veteran exited a black SUV outside the 100 Centre St. courthouse.
“What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!” the demonstrators shouted.

Vaccines have not been this relevant since the beginning of the vaccine era in the late 19th century. Top doctors and scientific minds are discussing this topic extensively. Even now, those atop the world’s most important health institutions are introducing critical reviews on vaccines into the public discourse.
The question is why?
In recent years, specifically in the beginning stage of the toxic injectable product (COVID vaccine) rollout, this topic has regained relevance.
The truth is that during this period everything changed. Distrust in the official narratives went from fringe discussions to legitimate scientific discourse. Esteemed and qualified scientists began questioning the recommendations from public health agencies in regard to
As Gov. Wes Moore prepares to cope with another Donald Trump presidential administration — which could cause upheaval in infrastructure, immigration and federal jobs — he’ll get help from private consultants at the cost of $190,000.
The state government entered into a contract this month with Accenture, an international management and technology consulting firm.
Accenture will research Trump’s proposed agenda and how it will affect the state’s priorities and programs, according to a two-page purchasing agreement between the state and the firm.
Accenture will conduct “risk management and scenario planning” that will help the state prioritize its efforts and determine potential legal challenges against the administration.

Frigid air that normally stays trapped in the Arctic has escaped, plunging deep into the United States for an extended visit that is expected to provoke teeth-chattering but not be record-shattering.
It’s a cold air outbreak that some experts say is happening more frequently, and paradoxically, because of a warming world.(snip) “There’s a climate change signal in that,” Francis said.
The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world, which means the difference between temperatures up north and down south are shrinking, Francis said. Arctic sea ice is shrinking,

Proposed Transgender Ban In Military:
I&I/TIPP Poll 39 replies
Among President Trump’s promises during the 2024 campaign was to “medically discharge” transgender men and women from the U.S. military. But would Americans support such a move? A plurality of voters say no, revealing a deep political split over the issue, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
While no specific proposal has yet actually been put forward, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked this question: “News reports suggest President-elect Trump is considering an executive order to discharge all transgender service members and ban future enlistments, potentially affecting 15,000 active personnel. Do you support or oppose this plan?”
What some see as a shot across the bow aimed at President-elect Donald Trump, Pope Francis announced Monday that left-wing Cardinal Robert McElroy of the Diocese of San Diego would be the next archbishop of Washington.
McElroy, 70, will succeed the retiring archbishop, Cardinal Wilton Gregory, 77, who shepherded the more than 600,000 Catholics who live in the nation’s capital region.
Gregory has not been afraid to oppose abortion in the public square, but angered some Catholics with his restriction on the traditional Latin Mass.

Military Wokeness 32 replies
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Monday sent a 33-page rant to Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth defending the Biden administration’s woke policies in the military and expressing concern that he would reverse them if confirmed.
In a letter sent to Hegseth on Tuesday and made public, Warren — who lied on teaching applications about her race — expressed concerns about Hegseth’s views opposing Marxist-based diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and wokeness in the military, and concern that he would actually implement President-elect Donald Trump’s policies at the Pentagon.
Karen Pence refused to acknowledge President-elect Donald Trump and Melania Trumpas they arrived at the Washington National Cathedral Thursday for the funeral of President Jimmy Carter. The former second lady was seated next to her husband, former Vice President Mike Pence, and remained seated as the Trumps arrived.
She made no effort to shake hands with Melania Trump, who she worked hand-in-hand with when their husbands were in office during Trump's first term. Mike Pence shook hands with Donald Trump after former Vice President Al Gore did the same. It was their first public interaction since 2021. Karen Pence remained seated, looking forward, the whole time.
As wildfires ravage Southern California, homeowners in Pacific Palisades find themselves grappling with an unbearable reality: their homes are burning, and their insurance policies—once their safety net—were canceled just months ago by State Farm.
In a move justified by the company as a strategy to avoid “financial failure,” State Farm canceled over 72,000 homeowners’ policies statewide, with Pacific Palisades—a now-charred affluent neighborhood—bearing a significant brunt.
James Woods, a renowned actor and Pacific Palisades resident, summed up the community’s frustration on social media.
“Actually, one of the major insurance companies canceled all the policies in our neighborhood about four months ago,” he wrote.

The Left’s high priestess of political drama has spoken again. Her recent diatribe regarding all things January 6 is a master class in projection, denial, lack of self-awareness, and gaslighting.
Let’s go to the tape:
So, today, January 6, the certification of the last presidential election happened in Washington, and it just happened ministerially and ceremonially, like it's supposed to. And that contrast with what happened today versus what happened four years ago makes clear the profound difference
President-elect Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that he would rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
Trump revealed his vision for rebranding the gulf during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. (X Video) “We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Trump announced.
“The Gulf of America; what a beautiful name, and it’s appropriate,” Trump added. “And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.” Trump’s announcement comes as he has recently focused on nearby territories and the U.S.-constructed Panama Canal.
Los Angeles' budget is in the spotlight as multiple wildfires rage around the city amid revelations that Mayor Karen Bass slashed the fire department's budget last year while prioritizing spending on the city's homeless population.
For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Los Angeles budgeted $837 million for the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which was roughly 65% the size of the homeless budget of $1.3 billion. An analysis by L.A.'s city comptroller last year found that roughly half the budget for homelessness went unspent.

Democrats for Being ‘Too Reflexively Anti-Republican’ 26 replies
New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined a growing number of Democrats who are seeking to work as much as possible with President-elect Donald Trump in his second term.
Ocasio-Cortez, who belongs to the progressive faction of her party in Congress, said in remarks to Punchbowl News on Wednesday that she will support policies from Trump that align with her beliefs.
“The reason why I think oftentimes Democrats occasionally lose elections is because we’re too reflexively anti-Republican, and that we don’t lean into an ambitious vision for working-class Americans strongly enough,” she told the outlet.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is blaming the raging California wildfires on climate change.
“80,000 people told to evacuate. Blazes 0% contained. Eight months since the area has seen rain. The scale of damage and loss is unimaginable,” the senator began before blaming the devastation not on poor fire management but on climate change. “Climate change is real, not ‘a hoax,'” he said, demanding President-elect Donald Trump to “treat this like the existential crisis it is.” (X)
Sanders made no mention of the fact that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) — who was not in LA but on a trip to Ghana
Elon Musk took yet another jab at Justin Trudeau after the disgraced Canadian Prime Minister tried to take a final stand against President-elect Donald Trump's rhetoric suggesting the United States could absorb the Great White North. Last month, Trump kicked off the entire controversy when he slammed Trudeau for bristling at his potential tariff threat to persuade northern leaders to tighten border security.
Trump joked, "If Canada can't survive without ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state, and Trudeau could become its governor."
Since that point, the 47th President has consistently chided Trudeau on social media.
