Almost nobody is more reviled by the international intelligentsia and media than the late Augusto Pinochet, the late 20th -century Chilean dictator. He holds a prominent position in the political left’s “rogues’ gallery” comprised of those who stood in opposition to their goals.
His supposed “crimes” included conducting a military coup to illegitimately grab control of the Chilean government from a popularly elected president, rounding up and torturing huge numbers of innocent citizens (killing as many as 80,000 in the process) and corruptly stealing vast sums of money while ruling as a dictator.
But many of those claims are either false or exaggerated
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) unit at the New York University Shanghai has grown to over 70 members, according to a leaked database of CCP members in the Chinese megapolis.
Located in Lujiazui, Shanghai’s wealthy financial hub, NYU Shanghai is a joint venture between New York University and East China Normal University (ECNU), one of the 76 institutions directly owned and managed by the Chinese Ministry of Education. Founded in 2012, the university boasts on its website as “the first Sino-U.S. joint venture university,” a model that has since been adopted by other American schools such as Duke.The presence of a CCP unit at NYU Shanghai is no surprise
SAN DIEGO -- A California judge cleared the way Thursday for all restaurants in San Diego County to resume on-site dining, marking a major setback to the governor’s stay-at-home order to slow the spread of the coronavirus before the state's intensive care units run out of beds. The case brought to the court by two San Diego strip clubs handed the biggest victory yet to California businesses fighting public health orders that they say have crippled them economically. [Snip] San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel Wohlfeil told county officials who requested the hearing Thursday to get clarification that his order was “straightforward” and goes beyond the two strip clubs...
Oliver Stone has taken the Russian coronavirus vaccine and accused the West of 'ignoring' the injection.
The radical left-wing director, 74, told Russian media outlets he had 'heard good things about the Russian vaccine' before taking it himself.
Russia started the mass rollout of the Sputnik V vaccine last week but over-60s have not been included after experts warned it could be potentially harmful to them.
And Stone, who directed a film on Edward Snowden in 2016, said he was 'hopeful' the vaccine would work on him after his second shot after 45 days.
Scott Johnson at Powerline suffered butt hurt and made it public this morning.
He wrote, "We have received a small stream of emails from readers and noted a few comments calling us out for not 'standing with' President Trump and disparaging our manhood as well — this because we have not decried the 'rigged' election that robbed President Trump of reelection. One professed long-time reader sent us a message announcing that he has 'resigned' from the site."
Johnson should be glad that people take the time to tell him off. That speaks to his importance, and also the importance of his error. That

Powell Case, Has Allegedly Made it to
Supreme Court Docket replies
According to new revelations, Trump ally and attorney Sidney Powell's case against the state of Michigan has officially made it to the Supreme Court docket.A week and a half ago, an Obama-appointed judge in Michigan dismissed Powell's case against the state, claiming it was “An Amalgamation of Theories, Conjecture, and Speculation”:Now, it appears that the case has made it to the SCOTUS docket."Sidney Powell's case has finally found its way to SCOTUS Docket," reported @APhilosophae on Twitter."It contains the forensic audit done in Michigan that proves systemic voter fraud occurred through the Dominion Voting System tabulation," the Twitter account added. It also has proof of at least 200,000 fraudulent votes.
On Thursday, pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood unleashed on Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, calling for his immediate resignation."This may be most important tweet of my life," Wood started. "Chief Justice John Roberts is corrupt & should resign immediately. Justice Stephen Breyer should also resign immediately. They are “anti-Trumpers” dedicated to preventing public from knowing TRUTH of @realDonaldTrump re-election." (Tweet) Wood also questioned whether or not Roberts had visited pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's island."I have long had questions about “the John Roberts” on Jeffrey Epstein private jet flight logs," he added in another tweet. "I suspected it was our Chief Justice. MSM has shown no interest in investigating issue to find TRUTH.
The FBI had investigations open into candidate Donald Trump earlier than the July 31, 2016, date long cited in the official narrative, according to newly released text messages (pdf) from fired Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok.
In a text message to FBI attorney Lisa Page sent on July 28, 2016, Strzok mentioned “our open [counterintelligence] investigations relating to Trump’s Russian connections.” The date of the text message is significant because the bureau has long maintained that it opened the investigations into Trump campaign associates on July 31 of that year. (Snip) Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) has repeatedly said that the FBI was investigating the Trump campaign months earlier than July 31, 2016.
A Republican Elector from Texas named Matt Patrick told a very interesting story this week.According to Patrick, the reason the Supreme Court declined to hear the lawsuit brought by Texas over the 2020 election is that Chief Justice Roberts was concerned about riots.The story Patrick is telling is third party, so take from it what you will, but here’s the thing.

The Chinese regime exploited vulnerabilities in the global mobile telecommunications network to conduct “mass surveillance” on Americans, according to a recent report by a cyber research firm.
By analyzing signals data, the report by Washington-based Exigent Media found that Beijing, working through state-owned telecom operator China Unicom, was the leading source of attacks against U.S. mobile users over 3G and 4G networks in 2018.
The regime exploited well-known network vulnerabilities, which allowed it to track, monitor, disrupt, and intercept communications of U.S. phone subscribers while they traveled abroad. The vulnerabilities are centered around the legacy mobile SS7 signaling system, described in the report as “a patchwork system enabling network operators
Georgia officials on Thursday conceded to requests for a statewide check of signatures on mail-in ballots after President Trump repeatedly asked for the study.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the review of absentee ballots in all 159 counties, saying the move is an attempt to rebuild trust in the election process.
Mr. Trump has vilified Mr. Raffensperger, a Republican, for not doing more to overturn the Nov. 3 results in which President-elect Joseph R. Biden became the first Democrat to win Georgia in a presidential election since 1992
Presidential candidates in the United States win elections by winning the most electoral votes.
The Electoral College system apportions a certain number of votes to each state. When voters in a state vote for a party’s candidate, they’re actually casting a vote for that party’s slate of electors, or people chosen to cast electoral votes.
Those electoral votes are counted by Congress. If a candidate gets 270 or more, they win the presidency.
Dueling Electors
In seven states on Dec. 14, a slate of Democratic electors chose Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Republican electors, even though Biden was certified as the winner in the states, also cast votes for President Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is putting pressure on Republican senator Rand Paul to join a few House Republicans in challenging electors' votes when Congress moves to certify the election for Joe Biden next month.On Thursday morning, Trump reposted a tweet saying: 'Rand Paul states over TWO DOZEN states changed their elections laws without going through the legislatures.'He also retweeted a sentiment from conservative radio personality and Fox News host Mark Levin claiming, 'Rand Paul is right on', along with an article from the Washington Examiner detailing the senator's comments during the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday.
A new report detailing massive fraud plaguing the 2020 election alleges there was a widespread, “theft by a thousand cuts” strategy “across six dimensions and six battleground states.” The report cites comprehensive evidence, and blasts the media for its failure to cover the matter accurately.
In the report, Peter Navarro, also a White House Trade Adviser, outlines a “coordinated strategy to effectively stack the election deck against the Trump-Pence ticket” occurring in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The full report is embedded at the bottom of this article.
President-elect Joe Biden plans to nominate New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland as interior secretary, according to two people familiar with the decision, a historic pick that would make her the first Native American to lead the powerful federal agency that has wielded influence over the nation’s tribes for generations.Tribal leaders and activists around the country, along with many Democratic figures, cheered Haaland’s selection after urging Biden for weeks to choose her. They stood behind her candidacy even when concerns that Democrats might risk their majority in the House if Haaland yielded her seat in Congress appeared to threaten her nomination.
Connie Chung — the former ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN anchor — has dished in a revealing new interview on behind-the-scenes tensions with colleagues including Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters and Dan Rather, as well as her seemingly flirtatious relationship with David Letterman, and how she ruffled Hugh Grant’s feathers during her cameo in the recent HBO hit “The Undoing.”On Andrew Goldman’s “The Originals” podcast for Los Angeles Magazine, Chung said that working with Rather at CBS was like a scene out of “Psycho,” while her treatment at ABC working with Walters and Sawyer was “not unlike what Tonya Harding did to Nancy Kerrigan.”
The Navy says it is prepared to push back against an increasingly bellicose China even during day-to-day operations short of full-scale war. The Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard on Thursday released “Advantage at Sea,” their maritime strategy for how the nation’s sea services will prevail during crisis and conflict over the next decade. While the strategy acknowledges other national rivals such as Iran and North Korea, it places particular focus on China, and to a lesser extent Russia, over their “maritime aggressiveness” and clear intent to remake the international order in their favor. “China is the only rival with the combined economic and military
Long before Joe Biden became the Democratic presidential nominee, reports circulated that the then-77-year-old former VP signaled he’d only commit to serving one term if elected.(Snip)...there are already calls from liberal circles to give Harris a “more important” job than “just the vice president.”(Snip)Assuming the rumored challenges to Congress’ official certification of the Electoral College vote go nowhere on Jan. 6th,(Snip)...the American people can look forward to(Snip)...her eventual run for president, assuming Biden stays in office for the next four years.

The Justice Department declassified a batch of internal FBI messages from Peter Strzok, the former counterintelligence official who oversaw the bureau’s investigation of the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia.The messages, which Senate Republicans released Thursday, provide new insights into the thinking of investigators who worked on Crossfire Hurricane, the code name for the investigation into the Trump campaign.The documents, obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation ahead of their release, show Strzok and his colleagues discussing strategies for how to handle the investigation,
The sheriff of Orange County, California, said on Wednesday that he would fight a recent order issued by a local superior court judge to significantly reduce the number of inmates housed in the county’s jail system due to COVID-19 concerns.According to FOX 11 News, Sheriff Don Barnes “is refusing to release any more” incarcerated people despite the mandate.“These people who remain in the jail, they may have diabetes, but they’re also charged with murder,” Barnes told the outlet during an online interview. “Or they may be over 65, but may be a child molester.”
President-Elect Joe Biden has chosen a Democrat from the U.S. House of Representatives as his nominee for Secretary of the Interior, which is likely to give Republicans in the chamber a boost. Sources confirmed to Fox News on Thursday that Biden planned to ask Rep. Deb Haaland, D-N.M., to fill the role, which would make her the first Native American to do so if she is confirmed by the Senate.
However, her exit from the House leaves Democrats with a very slim majority over Republicans, after Biden also tapped Reps. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, and Cedric Richmond, D-La., for separate roles in the administration.
Joe Biden, a candidate who spent most of the campaign in his Delaware basement, and was only able to generate a meager turnout when he emerged for a rare rally, supposedly has a job approval rating of 60 percent, even though he is technically unemployed.These were the findings of the Hill-HarrisX online poll of about 3,800 “nationally representative” registered voters. There is no indication if the respondents primarily logged in from CNN headquarters, the MSNBC studios, or various legacy newsrooms. On a more serious note, registered voters traditionally have been considered an unreliable cohort for opinion surveys. Plus, in this election cycle in particular, the polling industry has been exposed

The state Senate on Thursday gave final passage to a bill that would require public school districts in New Jersey to teach diversity and inclusion.
Under the bill (S2781) which passed, 26-13, the instruction will be taught to students grades kindergarten through 12th starting in the 2021-22 school year. The bill would ensure students “examine the impact that unconscious bias and economic disparities have at both an individual level and on society as a whole,” it states.(Snip) Lessons will include topics related to economic diversity, equity, inclusion, tolerance; gender and sexual orientation; race and ethnicity; and religious tolerance, according to the bill.
A Republican who will be in the Senate when Congress meets to count electoral votes next month suggested that he’ll join in the planned objection by members of the House of Representatives.
“You see what’s coming. You’ve been reading about it in the House. We’re going to have to do it in the Senate,” Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said after speaking at a rally in Georgia.
The video was captured by Democrat activist Lauren Windsor.
Tuberville’s campaign hasn’t responded to requests for comment on whether he plans to join in objecting to electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, in a bid to hand President Donald Trump the election.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Twenty-one people -- including current and former students from University of North Carolina, Duke University, and Appalachian State University -- have been arrested for dealing drugs at and on college campuses.
United States Attorney Matthew Martin, a UNC alumnus, said the arrested drug dealers were not small-time drug users, but instead "hardened drug dealers."
"This is a large drug network and supply chain fueling a drug culture at fraternities and within these universities and around these universities and towns," Martin said.

Peter Navarro, who serves as an advisor to President Donald Trump, on Thursday released a report, in his private capacity, on the integrity of the 2020 election, concluding that the allegations of irregularities are serious enough to warrant an urgent probe and substantial enough to overturn the results.
The findings of the report (pdf), titled “The Immaculate Deception,” support the claim that the election “may well have been stolen” from President Donald Trump.
“If these election irregularities are not fully investigated prior to Inauguration Day and thereby effectively allowed to stand, this nation runs the very real risk of never being able to have a fair presidential election again,”
All eyes are on the Georgia Senate run-offs races to be decided on January 5, 2021.The stakes couldn’t be higher, especially for those considering their pocket books, their small businesses, and their financial futures. Georgia should be on the mind of every American taxpayer–especially every small business owner. President-elect Joe Biden plans massive tax hikes that could hit nearly every American’s bank account. Small businesses, in particular, could get socked with much higher taxes.But to enact his ambitious money-grab, Biden needs Democrats to win both of the Senate seats in the upcoming Georgia run-0ff.
As in-person early voting began Monday for the January 5 run off election for two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia, significant changes for absentee ballot signature verification and drop boxes put into place by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and the State Election Board ahead of the November 3 presidential election without the state legislature’s approval are still in place.

The report highlights several troubling issues related to the way mail-in, potentially fraudulent ballots, were handled in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin Nevada and Pennsylvania. Within those states the activity by regional officials is critical to understanding the controversial post-election-day outcomes.
Joe Biden's looming disaster
replies
Pity Joe Biden. He is the dog that finally caught the bus and he is soon to be political roadkill. While he celebrates his victory in the Electoral College, powerful forces already are engaged to doom him and his presidency. His two central problems are that he has set the wrong expectations and that his policies will not work in the current domestic and international political, economic and military environment.
The only message in his “I’m-not-Trump” political campaign was that President Trump made a mess of domestic and foreign policy and that Biden would fix all of that. The deadly trap is that Trump did very well on many key measures
Well, that didn’t take long. A border crisis is brewing before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. Migrant caravans are forming in Honduras, where residents were hit with a pair of devastating hurricanes last month, adding to the economic hardship caused by COVID-19. Faced with ruin, many Hondurans have decided to defy local travel bans and head north. “People are no longer scared of the coronavirus,” one caravan organizer told Bloomberg. “They’re going hungry, they’ve lost everything, and some towns are still flooded.” The organizer added that migrants are savvy about shifts in US border policy: “When there is a change in government in the US or Mexico,
Illegal immigration from Asia has surged over the last decade or so, partially making up for an even bigger drop in the illegal immigrant population from Mexico, the Migration Policy Institute said Thursday.
Those without legal status were 23% of the total immigration population in 2018—though that’s lower than the 30% they accounted for before the 2008 Great Recession.(Snip) Illegal immigrants from Mexico fell from 7.6 million to 5.5 million, while unauthorized Asian migrants nearly doubled from 866,000 to 1.5 million. Central American illegal immigrants rose some 300,000, to reach 1.8 million. While some Asian migrants cross the southwestern border—Chinese migrants will pay as much as $80,000 to be smuggled

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris posted a video on Twitter Tuesday thanking her supporters and promising that she and President-elect Joe Biden would confront the “four existential threats” facing the nation — coronavirus, the economic downturn caused by the pandemic, racial injustice and climate change.

Prohibition on Birth Certificate Changes

Until today, Ohio had the ignominious distinction of being one of only two states that prohibited transgender people from changing their genders on their birth certificates. (Tennessee is the other.)
But with a ruling today by the U.S. District Court in Southern Ohio, that prohibition is no more. The ruling in the Ray v. McCloud lawsuit, originally filed more than two years ago on behalf of plaintiffs Stacie Ray, Basil Argento, Ashley Breda and Jane Doe, means that Ohio's blanket prohibition on trans people correcting their birth certificates is unconstitutional.
For the second day in a row, a new voter survey has found support for President Trump’s vow to fight on with his challenge to the election, with more believing that it was plagued with fraud.
While a Tuesday Pew Research Center survey said that it was mostly Republicans who believed that fraud occurred, the new McLaughlin & Associates poll found that all voters, by a 46%-45% margin, believed that there was fraud. That surprised the pollsters, especially since they also reported that more in the survey voted for Joe Biden over Trump.

The Labor Department announced on Thursday that about 885,000 Americans filed unemployment claims last week, the highest weekly total since September.
Last week’s claims rose from the 862,000 recorded during the previous week, and come amid rising coronavirus cases, hospitalizations, and deaths across the U.S. Average weekly jobless claims from before the pandemic totaled roughly 225,000.

The Republican Party is poised to win the House majority in 2022, boosted by the rare combination of President Trump’s ouster and down-ballot victories that put the GOP in command of the decennial redrawing of district boundaries.
House Republicans flipped nearly a dozen Democratic-held seats in the Nov. 3 elections, a surprising gain that left them a handful shy of the majority. With such a thin margin, there is loose speculation redistricting could effectively deliver Republicans the speaker’s gavel before a single Democratic incumbent is defeated. The GOP preserved control of key state legislatures and governor’s mansions, a crucial advantage in the partisan battle over reapportionment.
Biden Should Beware of Nemesis
replies
Joe Biden will be our next president. But he will face Nemesis in a way that few other presidents have ever encountered the cruel Greek god. Biden's hubris and that of the media/Democratic Party fusion almost guarantee such divine retribution. Once the last of the other Democratic primary candidates dropped out and Biden was nominated, all prior negative media stories about his apparent cognitive decline and his family's financial entanglements disappeared. From April 2020 on, a virtual news blackout surrounded Biden. His rare interviews were scripted. Biden communiques were teleprompted. Press conferences were either nonexistent or revolved around his favorite milkshake or his socks. Correction*
Multiple new emails allegedly from Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, reveal financial ties to firms inside of communist China. The alleged emails have surfaced after it was revealed last week that Hunter Biden is under federal criminal investigation over his business dealings, particularly in China.
Hunter Biden was informed in 2018 by one of his business partners that he would start to receive “significant” payments the following year from a firm in China that was co-owned by the Bank of China, which is owned by the communist Chinese government.
Yes, and that’s 2023, not 2024. Here’s how.
It all starts with Joe Biden’s truculently delinquent and pathological son, Hunter. You know, the guy who was and apparently still is a cocaine addict and was drummed out of the Navy. The deadbeat father who denied paternity and avoided support obligations to the mother whom he met at a strip joint.
But those are the least of his troubles. Hunter’s “business” is to monetize his dad’s political position.

Oblivious Biden

What kind of man must Joe Biden be to accept being illegitimately put into the Oval Office?
We’ve all seen the clips. Nearly every recent Joe Biden public appearance has been an embarrassment. The media called his garbled statements 'gaffes,' as if they were innocent, harmless mistakes, but many have suggested far worse age-related cognitive failures. We experienced embarrassment with him, and pitied a man clearly past his prime. What seemed most prominent about Joe Biden, other than his mental decline, was his obsession with one singular goal -- to be president of the United States.
By now it has to be dawning on the socialist wing of the Democratic party that former vice president Joe Biden was only paying lip service to them on appointing a diverse array of leftists to his cabinet. Team Biden has raised the ire of Bernie Sanders supporters who bought the lies again and lined up behind him just as they did with Hillary in 2016 with expectations that their loyalty would be rewarded.Instead, Biden has fielded a parade of Obama era retreads including Tony Blinken, Neera Tanden, Dennis McDonough, Jen Psaki, and Janet Yellen while shutting out gullible leftist ideologues.There will be no Elizabeth Warren as Treasury Secretary,
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis cleverly refused to take the bait from a reporter who asked him if he accepts Joe Biden as president-elect. “It’s not for me to say,” DeSantis replied, in dropping what might amount to a rhetorical truth bomb. “Here’s what I would say,” he continued. “Obviously, we did our thing in Florida.

The real scandal around Joe Biden’s second wife wanting to be called “Dr. Jill Biden” is not that people like Whoopi Goldberg incorrectly assume that she is a physician and recommend her for the position of surgeon general. The real scandal is that the title is handed out to people who can’t produce scholarly work, as exemplified by the pathetic “dissertation/executive position paper” that Jill Biden “submitted to the Faculty of the University of Delaware in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education with a major in Educational Leadership.”
Every one of us who voted for Trump believes that the only reason Biden appeared to walk away with more votes was because of massive election fraud. On Tuesday, during her morning show, Maria Bartiromo dropped what must be, in this crazy year, the mother of all bombshells.

It’s now up to the Supreme Court, said the source, to stop the clock from running so that the proper election result can be implemented, returning Trump to the White House.
Walmart announced on Thursday it will triple exports of goods from India to $10 billion each year by 2027, as a nationwide pivot to other trade partners gains strength amid the continuing U.S.-China trade war.

Currently, Walmart estimates Chinese suppliers make up 70-80 percent of its U.S. merchandise, according to the Alliance for American Manufacturing.
