A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found that former President Donald Trump is the clear front-runner in a hypothetical 2024 Republican primary, leading Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by 18 points.
The poll found that 46 percent of Republican voters would support Trump, compared to 28 percent who support DeSantis. Former Vice President Mike Pence, who many speculate will launch a presidential bid in 2024, received just seven percent support. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) came in fourth place in the poll with three percent, while Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, and Sen. Tim Scott
I reported earlier how Elon Musk has been bringing back people who were suspended or locked out of Twitter including the Babylon Bee and Dr. Jordan Peterson.
That prompted many to ask about other people who had been banned including Alex Jones and President Donald Trump. As we reported earlier, Musk said “no” to Jones. Part of the reason for that might be a question of liability, but it prompted a discussion if he was committed to free speech. Jones himself said that people should still stand by Musk’s efforts to bring openness to the site
Dueling Investigations

Scott noted earlier that Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel, Jack Smith, to torment Donald Trump. Garland said, I assume with a straight face:
It also allows prosecutors and agents to continue their work expeditiously, and to make decisions indisputably guided only by the facts and the law.
Indisputably! Right. Smith will be returning to Washington from The Hague, where he is “chief prosecutor for the special court.” That will be good training for his role as the Democratic Party’s agent in destroying Donald Trump.
Dozens of court documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein's associates, including a billionaire businessman, will be made public after a judge ruled the public interest outweighs the right to privacy.
Judge Loretta Preska on Friday ruled that the material concerning eight people should be unsealed despite one subject claiming it could 'wrongfully harm (his) privacy and reputation.' Among those whose names are mentioned in the documents are Emmy Tayler, Ghislaine Maxwell's former personal assistant, who was accused of taking part in the sexual abuse of minors.
Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley said Friday on “America Reports” that potential obstruction charges in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation seemed like the “most menacing” while discussing Attorney General Merrick Garland appointing Special Counsel Jack Smith to oversee the probes into former President Donald Trump.
Turley said, “The attorney general referred to obstruction a couple of times. That’s really where the greatest concern probably will lie for the Trump team. I mean, the scope of this is going to contain both the January 6th riot and the election, as well as Mar-a-Lago. As I said earlier, we still have not seen a very strong basis

Twitter will reinstate accounts for Jordan Peterson, Kathy Griffin and the satire site Babylon Bee, CEO Elon Musk announced on Friday. The billionaire also said no decision had been made about former President Trump’s banned account, and suggested he had no plans to reinstate conservative radio host Alex Jones.
"Kathie Griffin, Jorden Peterson & Babylon Bee have been reinstated. Trump decision has not yet been made," Musk tweeted.
Trump Blasts National Review

Former president Donald Trump ripped into National Review on Friday, arguing that it is a magazine without any remaining influence in an official statement issued along with an image of his 2024 campaign logo.
“Why does anyone read the National Review. They are so negative to Conservatives and me, and are seen as being led by lightweights that couldn’t shine the shoes of Bill Buckley. They have absolutely nothing going, it is failing fast, and my only question is, who is paying for the losses — when it loses plenty of money and serves no purpose at all. People are tired of haters —
House Republicans announced Thursday that they are launching an investigation that will focus on President Biden himself and any illicit or unethical financial ties he had to his son Hunter's overseas dealings.
Now Joe Biden and his family are facing an onslaught of subpoenas from the House majority members, who say they know where the proverbial bodies are buried.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) went down to the House floor on Thursday to announce her farewell to the Democratic leadership and the American people.
In her speech, Pelosi announced that she would not be seeking reelection to the Democratic congressional leadership in the upcoming Congress. (Video) In doing so, she described herself as a “devout Catholic” and a “patriotic American”
“My colleagues, I stand before you as Speaker of the House. As a wife. A mother. A grandmother. A devout Catholic. A proud Democrat,” said Pelosi. “And a patriotic American: a citizen of the greatest Republic in the history of the world.”
Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday insisted the Biden White House does not politicize the Justice Department after US Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate whether Trump committed crimes.
Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Trump three days after the former president announced his 2024 bid for the White House.The special counsel investigation will focus on whether Trump broke the law when he took White House records to Mar-a-Lago and the other part of the probe is related to January 6.
Okay, first things first. CTH will not play the pretending game or structure the discussion of the special counsel appointments from the MSM references. Instead, we will stick to the facts as they are presented, explain the events as they are factually reflected within the actual documents, and avoid the pretending constructs.

The White House has pushed back against the newly-announced Republican probe into President Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in his son Hunter’s foreign business dealings, claiming that the investigation is a politically-motivated rehashing of “long-debunked conspiracy theories.”
It comes as Reps. James Comer (R-Ky.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) announced on Nov. 17 that the House Oversight Committee will investigate whether the president was involved in his son’s business dealings, claims that the elder Biden has denied.
Comer, who is the incoming chairman of the Oversight Committee, said at a press conference that, contrary to the president’s claims, whistleblower evidence shows that he was directly involved in his son Hunter’s international business dealings.
The American Bar Association voted to drop the LSAT and other standardized tests as requirements for law school admissions.
An ABA panel made its decision on Friday after noon after a committee recommended the testing requirements be scrapped because they hurt diversity in admissions.
The LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, estimates a prospective students reasoning and reading comprehension, and it serves as a predictor on how they will fair in classes.
The ABA's ruling will take effect in the fall 2025 semester, after a final determination from the association's Hose of Delegates in February.

In a letter to White House Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President Ron Klain on Friday, House Republicans set to take control of the Judiciary Committee put a handful of President Joe Biden's senior aides on notice that they would be the subject of Republican oversight and expected to comply with requests for information and testimony.
In their letter, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Ken Buck (R-CO), Steve Chabot (R-OH), Darrell Issa (R-CA), and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) explain they are, "again," looking "to obtain your voluntary compliance with the outstanding requests for documents and information necessary for our oversight" in the 118th Congress.
An electric car sold by Elon Musk’s Tesla burst into flames on a Pennsylvania highway on Tuesday after a large piece of debris became lodged underneath it. The car fire ended up reducing the electric vehicle to a pile of scrap metal and ash. Luckily the car’s owners and their dog escaped unscathed.
Pennsylvania state police said the Tesla was traveling west on the highway when it caught fire, according to a report by WTAJ, which added that one lane ended up being restricted for some time as crews put out the fire.
Tony Bobulinski, an ex-business partner of Hunter Biden, was highly supportive of the announcement Thursday by the incoming chairs of the House Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee that they will be pursuing legitimate concerns about President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s dubious business dealings.
A relieved Bobulinski said during a Fox News Patriot Awards interview that Americans will no longer have to “take my word for it” that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s overseas business dealings.
“Hunter Biden, in his own words, [has said] he is putting his entire family’s family legacy on the line to do business with the Chinese Communist Party [via] CEFC,”
San Francisco - Elon Musk has reportedly sent a company email to the Twitter engineering team asking anyone who writes software to report to Twitter HQ in San Francisco Friday by 2 p.m. The email was reported by Platformer editor Zoë Schiffer and corroborated by a report in Fortune. The Fortune report also cites a source indicating that between 1,000 to 1,200 employees effectively resigned Thursday by declining to click “yes” on a form Musk sent out requiring employees to commit to working long hours at intense pace if they wished to remain at Twitter. Musk’s demand that Twitter staff go ‘hardcore,’ or leave was apparently not well received
Joe Biden sat down with business executives and labor leaders to highlight recent progress in combating inflation and steadying the economy.
Biden met the top executives at Ford, Kaiser Permanente and Carrier as well as the presidents of the Service Employees International Union and United Food and Commercial Workers in a meeting designed to call attention to recent economic progress and seek out ideas to bring inflation down further, the official said.
Biden was joined by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and his top economic adviser Brian Deese.
They should have been there to help Biden but his handlers had a different idea and trusted the teleprompter.

Republicans will gain control of the House of Representatives come January, and you know what that means: The GOP will control all of the House committees. Good news, indeed, in the wake of Democrats abusing their majority position to embark on witch hunt after witch hunt. The best news of all may just be that conservative rock star Jim Jordan (R-OH) will chair the House Judiciary Committee. And he is ready to get down to business. His first order of business?

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert will get a second term in office, after her Democratic challenger put up an unexpectedly tough fight to unseat the controversial Republican after just one term.
Exclusive: Former President Trump blasted the Biden Justice Department's appointment of a special counsel to take over investigations related to presidential records and January 6, telling Fox News he "won’t partake in it," and calling it "the worst politicization of justice in our country," while urging the Republican Party to take action.
"I have been going through this for six years—for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore," Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Friday shortly after the announcement. "And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this."

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried sold a stake in the company worth $300 million when the crypto exchange raised capital last year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing the firm's financial records and people familiar with the transaction.
At the time, Bankman-Fried told investors it was a partial reimbursement of money he'd spent to buy out rival Binance’s stake in FTX a few months earlier, the report added. Bankman-Fried and FTX did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment on the matter. The Journal's report cited FTX's October 2021 funding round where the company had raised $420 million from a clutch of big name investors
If there's anything that signals how deeply the now-bankrupt FTX's founder Sam Bankman-Fried had sunk the hooks in with the Washington swamp, it's news that the New York Times was planning to host and fete the cryptocurrency-exchange founder, alongside luminaries such as Volodymyr Zelensky, Mark Zuckerberg, and Janet Yellen, on November 30. According to Evie magazine:
The New York Times’ DealBook Summit will be taking place on November 30, 2022. The event will include Sam Bankman-Fried, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen as guest speakers.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said Friday he was bringing back three high-profile accounts that have previously been suspended for breaking the service's rules, but he said he hadn't made a decision about former President Donald Trump's account.
"Trump decision has not yet been made," Musk said in a tweet, as Twitter users braced for sweeping changes on the service that Musk bought three weeks ago. Musk said he was bringing back comedian Kathy Griffin, academic Jordan Peterson and conservative comedy site Babylon Bee. Twitter permanently suspended Trump's account nearly two years ago, citing his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and the potential for more violence.
Not that long ago, Sam Bankman-Fried was on top of the world. Sporting a net worth of approximately $15.6 billion, Bankman-Fried was the CEO of FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange platform launched in 2019 that had accumulated more than a million consumers by 2022. At 30 years old, he was extremely successful — that is, until last week when he was exposed as a con artist. (snip)While riding high as a crypto bro, Bankman-Fried utilized his fortunes to finance both left-wing causes and Democrat candidates. During the 2022 midterms, he was the second-largest donor to Democrat candidates, spending roughly $37 million throughout the election cycle. Among the beneficiaries of his mega-dollar

Democrat Adam Frisch has conceded to Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in what shaped up to be a surprisingly competitive race in an otherwise blue district that was likely to head into a runoff. (Snip) “The voters have spoken and while we show great progress, I remain down by a few hundred votes. This small margin triggers an automatic recount in Colorado’s election system,” Frisch said. “We are not asking for this recount … The likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small. Very very small. It would be disingenuous and
A series of revealing texts and tweets by Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced CEO of FTX, the once high-flying but now belly-up crypto exchange, had the following to say about his image as a do-gooder: it is a “dumb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us.”
He had the whole game going: a vegan worried about climate change, supports every manner of justice (racial, social, environmental) except that which is coming for him, and shells out millions to worthy charities associated with the left. (Snip)

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel for two ongoing criminal investigations by the Department of Justice of former President Donald Trump. Smith’s appointment came three days after Trump, a Republican, announced plans to run for president in 2024. Trump’s move directly led to Garland’s decison to appoint a special counsel, who will recommend whether criminal charges should be lodged against the ex-president. The attorney general was appointed by Biden, a Democrat who defeated Trump in his 2020 re-election bid. Biden could again face Trump again in the 2024 election. CORRECTION*
he cancer of early voting tightened its deadly grip on the American body politic in last week’s midterm elections. This is yet another destructive outcome of Nov. 8.
The mad rush toward early voting accelerated thanks to another disease: COVID-19. Like so many things wrong in America today, COVID lurks just beneath the surface. Because voting in person was “too dangerous,” opportunistic Democrat lawyers sued like ambulance chasers in 2020 to widen and deepen early voting beyond its earlier, lower profile. This year, with COVID in the rear-view mirror, 2020’s “emergency” measure has become the new normal. The Democrats’ ever-leftward ratchet mechanism always works this way.
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has sent a letter to three officials appointed by the Bide White House demanding to know what they know about the diversion of customer funds into Democrat campaign contributions by cryptocurrency behemoth FTX even as that company was hurtling towards bankruptcy. How much effect this letter will have remains to be seen. Senator Hawley will still be in the minority when the new Senate meets. Chuck Schumer has no interest in investigating a Democrat donor who gave $20 million to Joe Biden, spent $32 million in the midterms, and has pledged to spend $1 billion in 2024.

An initial budgeting error from the King County Regional Homelessness Authority risked funding for core homelessness services, such as outreach, shelter and housing.
In an already tricky budget year, the homelessness authority is asking the Seattle City Council to add funding promised to 12 agencies (snip)
A summer proposal by the homelessness authority, a young intergovernmental agency designed to lead solutions for homelessness in Seattle and surrounding suburbs, asked the city of Seattle and King County to fund a 2023 budget that mistakenly assumed $9.4 million in federal one-time pandemic relief money would be available.
Go figure. If you read between the lines of the Washington Post’s current description of the “classified” documents, as noted by anonymous federal officials connected to the investigation, the ‘classified‘ documents in context were personal correspondence between President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un about the need to chill out on the nuclear stuff.
President Trump considered these types of papers personal mementos, while the administrative state -seeking to weaponize the DOJ/FBI for maximum political damage and narrative engineering- considered them top secret national security documents.
The election is over, so the narrative is no longer needed. Narrative dropped…

The WEF-puppet regimes from Sri Lanka, the Netherlands, and Canada are all strangling their citizens with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policies.
Sri Lanka’s economy collapsed, while the Netherlands and Canada are on the same path of self-destruction to appease globalist influence.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is taking action to prevent ESG influence in Florida.

A 22-year old man was arrested following the horrific incident, but has subsequently been released pending further evidence.
The double-standard is atrocious. The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) evening newscasts have almost completely buried Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock’s child support scandal, spending only 11 seconds on it since September 1.
In stark contrast, the network evening newscasts (September 1 - November 16) flooded their airwaves (36 minutes, 21 seconds) with stories of women accusing his GOP opponent Herschel Walker of paying for abortions. That’s almost 200 times more coverage to the Walker story than the Warnock scandal.
Gun sales more than doubled in Oregon with Ballot Measure 114 (BM 114) pending, and Oregon State Police are struggling to keep up with the demand for background checks.
KDRV reports that BM 114 passed by a margin of 50.9 percent to 49.1 percent, and will take effect December 8, 2022.
In the weeks leading up to the November 8 elections, Breitbart News pointed to a Bearing Arms report that BM 114 was being bankrolled by out-of-state money. The measure requires a permit, which costs $65, to purchase a gun. It also bans “high capacity” magazines and requires law enforcement to maintain a database of gun permit applicants, among other things.
When Joe Biden came into office, he promised to make Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (commonly referred to as “MBS”) a “pariah” on the world stage. That was in response to the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Muslim Brotherhood acolyte that also moonlit as a “journalist” for The Washington Post. That’s what makes the Biden administration’s latest move so peculiar. In what is a pretty shocking u-turn, they are now offering public support for MBS, saying that he has legal immunity from any lawsuits related to the act.
A few days ago we asked how much longer do we have to wait for the "first-day affidavit" in the FTX bankruptcy, traditionally the most detailed and comprehensive summary of how any given company collapsed into Chapter 11 (and in FTX's case, Chapter 7 soon, as this will soon become a full-blown liquidation)... (Snip) ... and this morning we finally got our answer when it hit the docket (22-11068, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware), almost a full week after FTX filed on Nov 11... and boy is it a doozy.

As most are well aware by now, the disgraced founder of FTX Sam Bankman-Fried was the Democrat party’s second-largest donor just behind George Soros.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, in the 2020 presidential election, Bankman-Fried dished millions to the Biden campaign and followed it up by handing out over $40 million dollars to democrats in the 2022 primaries and midterms.
Forbes reported last year that Bankman-Fried also donated to six RINOs who voted to impeach President Trump. (Snip) As previously reported, Bankman-Fried’s balance sheet contained an asset worth over $7 million called “TrumpLose.”

When Congress authorized $80 billion this year to beef up Internal Revenue Service enforcement and staffing, Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy warned that “Democrats’ new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you.”
A video quickly went viral racking up millions of views, purporting to show a bunch of clumsy bureaucrats receiving firearms training, prompting alarm that the IRS would be engaged in military-style raids of taxpayers. The GOP claims were widely attacked as exaggerations — since the video, though from the IRS, didn’t show official agent training — but the criticism has shed light on a growing trend: the rapid arming of the federal government.
Senator-Elect John Fetterman and his wife, Gisele, are celebrating their recent hard-fought victory for a key senate seat in Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, Gisele Fetterman uploaded a photo of her and her husband in front of the politician’s office, with a freshly minted sign that read “Senator-Elect John Fetterman.” Gisele captioned the triumphant photo with “First day ---.” The photo offers a possible glimpse at how the political power couple may be dressing from January 3 onwards. Gisele, who has co-founded multiple non-profit organizations, appears to have already adapted her funky and individualistic sense of style to the office. In the
In a last-minute shock to soccer fans worldwide, the sale of beer with alcohol was banned Friday at stadiums hosting the World Cup tournament in Qatar.
The decision was announced just two days before the start of the world’s most popular soccer tournament. Only non-alcoholic beer will still be sold at the 64 matches in eight stadiums inside Qatar.
“Following discussions between host country authorities and FIFA, a decision has been made to focus the sale of alcoholic beverages on the FIFA Fan Festival, other fan destinations and licensed venues, removing sales points of beer from ... stadium perimeters,” FIFA said in a statement.

The Biden administration will soon ask the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court decision blocking the implementation of the president's student loan debt cancellation plan.
The Department of Justice on Thursday asked a federal appeals court to end the injunction on the plan's implementation while indicating in the same filing that it would turn to the Supreme Court to list a separate appeals court ruling, the Associated Press reported.
Biden announced his plan in late August to forgive student debt up to $10,000 for those earning less than $125,000 annually and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the plan will cost taxpayers
“We have put together" ... "the most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization” in history…..Joe Biden 2020
Don't believe he said it? He may have misspoken or he may have just spoken the absolute truth. There was a great article in PJMedia by David Solway entitled: DeSantis in 2024? Think Again. It was an eye-opening although bleak reminder of how difficult it will be to elect any Republican given the voting machine manufactured and engineered by the Democrats and paid for by billionaire despots like George Soros and Sam Bankman-Fried.
Republicans, especially those running for president in 2024, know how to get treated “respectfully” by the mainstream media: denounce or at least distance yourself from former President Donald Trump. Former Vice President Mike Pence has learned that lesson and is being treated much better than he previously was by the media.
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan was ridiculed Thursday for claiming that House Democrats never investigated the Trump family when they were in the majority despite many congressional investigations into former President Trump.
After Republicans secured a majority in the House, Reps. James Comer, R.-Ky., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., announced in a press conference Thursday that they would be further investigating the extent of President Biden’s involvement with his son Hunter’s business dealings.
"The Mehdi Hasan Show" host attacked the investigation into the Biden family because, he claimed, House Democrats "didn’t do this for the Trump family," while also appearing to take a swipe at outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
During this midterm campaign, I attended hundreds of events in my district, around Arizona, and around the country. The issue I was asked about most often was whether I or the Republicans in the House, or the Republicans in the Senate, would keep the same leaders.
Not only did my constituents want the “red wave” that didn’t materialize, they also wanted new leadership.
They told me that they want a leader who will take on the Biden Administration. A leader who will not acquiesce in the abrogation of our rights
Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul sharply questioned FBI director Christopher Wray Thursday over reported collusion with Facebook that left the senator “alarmed.”

Hundreds of Twitter employees apparently quit Thursday after new CEO Elon Musk gave workers an ultimatum: commit to a “hardcore” work environment, or be fired.
The reported exodus threw Twitter into more turmoil and came as staffers at the social media giant were given a 5 p.m. Thursday deadline to sign onto Musk’s workplace pledge.
The resignations were gleaned from internal Twitter communications, including a poll where 42% of 180 workers surveyed Thursday said they were “Taking the exit option, I’m free,” Reuters reported.
Not only was crypto-billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried’s company, FTX, allegedly a fraud, but it spent huge sums on recent elections to get Democrats into office. Was this a case of massive election fraud? If so, it isn’t just Bankman-Fried who should be punished.
In case you’re not caught up on all this, FTX, a futures exchange for crypto-currencies including its own, exploded into the public’s attention just after the election. That’s when it was revealed that FTX had questionably transferred or “loaned” some $10 billion to its sister company, Alameda Research, to “fund risky bets,” a highly questionable move seemingly to shore up Alameda’s finances.
And yes, FTX was a big deal.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters Thursday that he skipped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) leadership retirement speech because he “had meetings.”
McCarthy, who is in line to replace Pelosi as House speaker, wasn’t the only Republican to miss the address. The Republican side of the lower chamber was largely empty during her farewell, according to reports.
“I had meetings, but normally, the others would do it during votes — I wish she could have done that, I could have been there,”
Apple TV has changed its mind about adapting fake-journalist Maggie Haberman’s Trump biography into a failed series.
The left-wing Haberman, who is so dishonest she won a Pultizer for spreading the Russia Collusion Hoax, published her Trump biography, Confidence Man, earlier this year. Apple TV optioned the book for a series and has now changed its mind.

One of the most deranged aspects of the Biden administration has been its pushing of radical transgender ideology in the medical field. Well past just letting people do what they want, the president and his handlers have sought to force doctors to partake in activities that violate their principle to do no harm.
That includes being forced to prescribe puberty blockers and hormone blockers to those who have no medical need for them as well as having to refer patients for “gender-affirming” surgeries that permanently harm them.
Thankfully, in a blow to the transgender lobby, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas has ruled

Somebody better get canned. Someone has to pay. Somebody important. Our culture is a disaster in large part because we have failed to hold leaders accountable when they screw up, because we have given losers a free pass and accepted excuses and therefore, accepted sub-par performance. Look at the wars since 2001 – what generals got relieved for the failure to win them promptly? And look at our military now. It’s a disaster. This goes for the GOP in the wake of last week’s fiasco.

Yet again, Democrat lawyer Marc Elias has appeared to mess with elections, this time working to undermine Georgia's state election laws ahead of the Peach State's U.S. Senate runoff scheduled for December 6.
Elias has a well-documented track record of fighting to undo elections, meddle in election laws, and he even played a "key role in false statements made to the media and to Congress about the Steele dossier" that advanced the Russiagate hoax," according to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.

According to a legal filing, the Biden Administration plans to ask the Supreme Court to reinstate the president's canceled student loan debt program.

The Public Health© biomedical regime, via its private-sector public-relations arm, the corporate media, maintains its brutal siege of all things natural medicine – most especially vitamin D*.
The vital role that vitamin D plays in human health is nearly impossible to overstate. In fact, the term “vitamin D” is a misnomer; it’s actually a steroid hormone.
Its many dozens of crucial physiological functions include — not coincidentally in the context of corporate media demonization — producing faster, fuller recovery for patients with COVID-19.

With thin margins, most major decision desks have called the Arizona gubernatorial race in favor of Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, but Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake announced Thursday morning that she’s not yet ready to concede.
In a video message posted to her Twitter account, captioned with “Arizona, we are still in the fight,” Lake addressed what she described as a “broken election system” and vowed to continue to fight to prove that something seems to have gone terribly wrong.

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to impeach controversial Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D-PA).
Five lawmakers, including three Republicans and two Democrats with constituencies in Philadelphia, formed a committee to investigate Krasner earlier this year. Members of the lower chamber voted by a margin of 107 to 85 in favor of impeaching Krasner, enabling the Pennsylvania Senate to remove the official with a two-thirds majority.
“We put ourselves on the record that we stand with the people of Philadelphia who have been living in fear for their lives and the safety of themselves and their families,” Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff (R-PA) said in a statement.
A federal judge on Thursday temporarily halted enforcement of a law known as the “Stop WOKE Act” at Florida universities.
