John Brennan vowed Monday that he will end his staunch criticism of Donald Trump and instead 'ignore' the president and stop referencing him on Twitter. 'I now plan to ignore Trump,' Brennan wrote as part of a Twitter thread Monday evening. 'I leave his fate to our judicial system, his infamy to history, & his legacy to a trash heap.''And while I will refrain from referencing Donald Trump in Twittersphere again, I will not hesitate to denounce public officials of any political stripe who I believe betray the trust of the American people or engage in unethical, unprincipled, or corrupt activities,' the former CIA director continued in his four-part post.

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin intends to seek the top Democratic spot on the Senate Judiciary Committee, he announced Tuesday, one day after panel Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein said she would step down from the post amid near-universal party consensus against her leading the influential committee.“We have to roll up our sleeves and get to work on undoing the damage of the last four years and protecting fundamental civil and human rights,” Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a statement announcing his intentions.Feinstein (D-Calif.) framed her decision to leave her post as a way to better focus on specific policy areas for her state.
During an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” Joe Biden said that he isn’t taking nominating Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) off the table for Cabinet positions, but noted that there already is “significant representation among progressives in our administration,” and that his “very ambitious, very progressive agenda,” will require “really strong leaders in the House and Senate to get it done.”
Host Lester Holt asked, “What about former rivals from your own party? Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren. Have you talked to them about Cabinet positions?”
Joe Biden on Monday tapped longtime Capitol Hill aide Reema Dodin as deputy director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs. Dodin once justified Palestinian suicide bombers during the bloody Second Intifada.
Dodin, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, said in 2002 that “suicide bombers were the last resort of a desperate people,” according to the Lodi News-Sentinel.
According to the newspaper, Dodin, then a student at the University of California, Berkeley, “described a place where Palestinians are not given fair rights.”
“A place where water is so scarce that the Israeli government will cut off the supply to coerce the Palestinian population,” Dodin is cited as saying.
A new report from the Media Research Center shows that the media’s lack of coverage and big tech’s suppression of certain issues and scandals surrounding Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden could have cost President Donald Trump the election.
The survey results report that 17 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for the Biden-Harris presidential ticket if they had known about at least one of the eight news stories that were suppressed by big tech and mainstream media outlets.

CNN is silent after South Dakota emergency room nurse Jodi Doering claimed on the liberal network that patients dying from coronavirus often don’t believe it despite her story appearing to have been a “massive exaggeration” if not worse. CNN’s interview went viral, with one clip piling up over 5.8 million views on Twitter. NewsBusters conducted a study, indicating that CNN spent 23 minutes and 38 seconds on Doering’s tale over a two-day period. “Of course, CNN has yet to air an acknowledgment or correction because, when there’s a narrative to push, CNN subscribes to the mantra of if it rings true, it is true,” NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck wrote.
Tesla boss Elon Musk surpassed Bill Gates to become the world’s second-richest person as the electric-car maker continued its staggering stock-market surge.
A 6.5 percent jump in Tesla’s share price added about $7.2 billion to Musk’s fortune on Monday, putting his total net worth at $127.9 billion — slightly eclipsing Microsoft co-founder Gates’ $127.7 billion, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index.

The city of Pasadena, California, is refusing to comply with Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s strict coronavirus restrictions prohibiting restaurants from serving customers inside.
Restaurants in Democrat-run states are barely surviving and even shuttering as the government repeatedly closes them through lockdowns.
“The City of Pasadena will continue to assess our COVID [Chinese coronavirus] numbers and work closely with Huntington Hospital and give as much advance notice as possible if the City’s Order is going to change in any respect,” city spokesperson Lisa Derderian said in a CBS affiliate in Los Angeles report.

Lauren Boebert is a petite 33-year old wife and mother of five with a GED in place of a high school diploma. Until last week, she’d never been to Washington, DC. She carries a Glock sidearm. It’s a very fine piece, though I personally prefer my Beretta 9 mm.
She’s also the newly elected congresswoman representing us here in Aspen and the rest of western Colorado. To get elected, she first had to beat a five-term GOP congressman in the primary. There was nothing wrong with that congressman.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is finalizing plans to shorten the recommended length of quarantine for those exposed to Covid-19.
The CDC currently recommends that individuals quarantine for 14 days after being exposed to people with the coronavirus. The two weeks is based on how long scientists believe it can take the virus to incubate in the body. "CDC is always reviewing its guidance and recommendations in the light of new understandings of the virus that causes Covid-19, and will announce such changes when appropriate," a spokesperson for the agency told NBC News on Tuesday. The updated approach will likely incorporate testing.

YouTube has penalized the right-wing One America News Network for promoting a bogus cure for COVID-19.
On Tuesday, YouTube said it removed a video posted by OANN, a relentlessly pro-Trump outfit owned by Herring Networks, because it violated the site’s policy prohibiting coronavirus misinformation. Because OANN has received a “strike,” it is temporarily prevented from uploading new videos or live-streaming for one week. YouTube also has demonetized OANN’s channel, meaning it is no longer eligible to participate in the site’s advertising revenue-sharing program.
In late 2008, during the transition from George W. Bush to Barack Obama, there was a mantra that took hold among Washington insiders: Obama won the election but Hillary won the transition. The most loyal denizens of the Obama campaign — the people who were with him from Springfield to Grant Park — watched with deep trepidation as the Obama administration was staffed at the highest levels with the same Clintonites — including Hillary herself — they thought they had vanquished in the Democratic primaries the previous summer.

The monolith, about 10 to 12 feet tall, had been expertly planted into the ground.
Utah’s highway patrol shared a picture of the find on Instagram, along with the caption: “Counting big horn sheep with DWR this week. During the counts we came across this, in the middle of nowhere, buried deep in the rock. Inquiring minds want to know, what the heck is it? Anyone?”

The rising chorus of those demanding the finalization of Joe Biden’s election victory or merely deluging the president with sanctimonious claptrap about “affirming the system” and being a gentleman and practitioner of fair play and good sportsmanship, ignores both the law and the underlying significance of the arguments.

Clueless Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday dismissed the fact that the city incredibly failed to pick up on Hasidic wedding attended by thousands amid COVID-19 this month—scoffing to a reporter, “It’s a big city.” De Blasio spouted the tone-deaf brush-off even after he acknowledged just how dangerous the Nov. 8 Brooklyn wedding was by announcing late Monday that the city would slap the involved synagogue with a $15,000 fine for breaking coronavirus safety regulations. In crowing about the fine, de Blasio told NY1 of the dangerous gathering, “That’s just not acceptable, I mean, we’ve been through so much.

The Virtues of Being Graceless

Rich Lowry at the Trump-unfriendly National Review titled a syndicated column on November 20 “Ugly Exit.” Lowry, who has made a habit of dumping on The Donald, complains that Trump’s unwillingness to graciously concede to Joe Biden reveals his “deep-seated inability to admit defeat.” His gracelessness is also somehow harming “elected Republicans who feel the need to play along.” So far, according to Lowry, Trump has been exploiting the “suspicions about the process” that bedevil his party after a heated race. “But it’s wrong for Trump to fuel the doubts with a constant flow of bad information and conspiracy theories.”
According to the media, Trump and his deplorables are doing a great disservice to the nation by demanding assurances about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. After all, Joe Biden has been all but inaugurated by news personalities and the Democratic Party, and the social media censors have assured us that there's no evidence of any wrongdoing, so it's obviously just a waste of time and energy to mull the outlandish possibility that Americans are the victims of what Biden described (either carelessly or carefully) as the "most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."
The free world is watching and holding its breath, appalled that an American coup can be treated so lightly by the U.S. media.

I think (perhaps "hope" is more accurate) President Trump has something approaching the same thoughts and plan to bust the fraudulent election that occurs to me. I suspect that he is deliberately avoiding major public addresses claiming electoral fraud until there is a solid evidentiary record, at least somewhere, to support that claim.
Millions of Trump's voters — based on the numbers alone, how, when, and under what circumstances they rolled out on Election Day and the morning after, and the massive numbers of statistical and numerical improbabilities that rise to the level of an impossibility — already are 100% convinced that Trump won decisively
To judge by the election results, assuming you believe them, Americans want more lockdowns, given that Joe Biden ostensibly won.
Biden campaigned on a lockdown platform, vowing a national mask mandate along with a campaign promise to run the government's COVID response better than President Trump, plagiarizing much of Trump's already-done actions and calling them his own. President Trump hammered Biden on his eternal lockdown plan in the final days of the campaign, and Biden retreated a little, denying he vowed no such thing. But once he was convinced he won, he came out full bore for national mask-wearing again, along with obedience to science and government officials.

The Trump campaign's top lawyers -- Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis -- went into the weekend on the offense.

Trump needs to have overwhelming evidence of election fraud, and he needs to bring that evidence to light in very public hearings. Without such evidence, his claims won’t be taken seriously enough—by the press or a sufficient number of the electorate—to ensure a peaceful transition to a second term.

Contrary to their claims, Trump’s thorough investigation of potential large-scale election fraud is fully in accord with the Constitution. As the one in whom executive power is vested,

Namely, that 2021 could very well be a worse year than 2020 has been. One key reason we’re where we are is that most Americans have allowed social media to have some power over our lives.
When the dust settles from the 2000 election, House Democrats will find themselves with a very slender majority, possibly just four seats more than the majority threshold of 218. Whatever the precise number, the margin will be smallest in the House in two decades.
Thus, just a few defections on any legislation will prevent the Democrats from passing it, unless some Republicans join them. Few if any Republican are likely to help the Dems pass anything controversial.
The Washington Post tries to think through the new reality in this piece by Mike DeBonis. The article contains plenty of inside baseball, but will be of interest to some of our readers.
The second time was not the charm for the Ford Bronco R race truck. The Bronco finished second in class to the SCG Boot from Connecticut-based Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus a year after failing to finish the race due to a mechanical issue its first time out. Meanwhile, it was the Boot's second-straight win in the grueling event.
The boutique automaker builds street-legal versions of its high-end race cars and recently added the Chevy-powered 4x4 to its lineup. The odd-looking off-roader is inspired by the Hurst Baja Boot raced by actor Steve McQueen in the late 1960s, which company founder James Glickenhaus purchased at auction in 2010.

RUSH: I have also for later in the program, a fascinating piece by David Horowitz.(Snip)...I have a question that everybody that hates Donald Trump needs to ask, and I know they’re not going to.(Snip)But the questions are: Do you hate Trump, or do you hate his antics? Do you hate his personality? Do you hate the way he tweets and talks, or do you hate the results he gets? What is it you really hate about Trump? That is the real question. Is it petty, personal hate driven by fear and loss of power or massive, monumental results?(Snip)They’re jealous! They are just jealous.(Snip)Trump has rendered them irrelevant.
Regarding Deplatforming…

In an effort to improve personal time management, and devote necessary time to advancing CTH 2.0 goals (I’m up against an eviction deadline), please consider this a standard form letter response to any further inquiry: Dear Mr./Mrs. XXXXXXXX, prudence and necessarily instilled manners dictate that all correspondence deserves the full weight of polite response.(Snip)It is not our “goal” to raise our profile through the dangers and injustice that Big Tech censorship now represents.

A Joe Biden administration will include Linda Thomas-Greenfield as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to various reports. If true, that means goodbye America First global diplomacy; hello social justice. It also means a return to Barack Obama days when America was bowing to foreign heads of states, expressing disgust with the concept of American Exceptionalism and practically begging, practically please, please, pretty please begging other nations not to, say, kidnap our sailors and splash their frightened kidnapped faces on billboards for all the haters of America to see.(Snip) Thomas-Greenfield is a longtime political player who worked for roughly four years
Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis declared in an article in Foreign Affairs on Monday that the “America First” foreign policy had damaged national security, and called on Joe Biden to “eliminate ‘America first'” from U.S. strategy.
Mattis resigned in December 2018, citing policy disagreements with the president, who had just ordered a troop drawdown in Syria. In his resignation letter, Mattis said that the U.S. needed to do more to show “respect” to American allies.(Snip)
In his new article, however, Mattis says the opposite, calling for the “end of America First”: The United States today is undermining the foundations of an international order
