U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz claimed on Tuesday that he has enough votes to prevent current House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy from becoming House speaker in January. Speaking on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, he said that of the 36 Republicans who voted against McCarthy during the initial vote last week, five of them — which is apparently enough to stop his confirmation as speaker — have vowed to vote “no” again come the final vote in January.

Americans set a new record Thanksgiving day record, spending $5.29 billion in online shopping on Thursday.
Thursday's amount represented a 2.9% increase from last year. Shoppers typically spend about $2 billion to $3 billion online in one day, according to data shared by Adobe.
Mobile shopping -- purchases made through smartphones -- accounted for 55% of online sales, an all-time record for Thanksgiving Day since 2012.
Vivek Pandya, a lead analyst at Adobe, told CNBC that the increase was driven by demand, as consumers shrugged off record-high levels of inflation.
Online sales haven't been driven higher by inflation like store sales, since e-commerce is largely made up of electronics, apparel and other durables
The University of Idaho is offering remote classes for the rest of the semester after students refused to come back to campus following the brutal murders of four peers.
President Scott Green announced on Wednesday that the school 'hears' the students concerns and will be offering remote and in-person classes to all students for the rest of the semester.
'We have heard from students with varied needs [and] some are not comfortable being back in Moscow until a suspect is in custody. Others are asking for in-person classes and the structure that life on campus brings,' Green said.
Not a week had gone by after the midterm elections before California governor Gavin Newsom’s presidential possibilities were being talked up. A Republican consultant even suggested Joe Biden ask for Kamala Harris’ resignation and appoint Newsom as his vice-president. Biden could then either resign himself, leaving Newsom president, or position him to run as semi-incumbent in 2024.
No matter what turns the journey takes, there will be a train wreck at the station.
Don’t be fooled by the governor’s margin of victory this year (59-41) and in 2018 (62-38). He has done nothing in his public life that recommends him for the presidency. Popular, yes, competent, no.
Trump-backed candidate shreds power-hungry

Mitch McConnell for supporting rival Murkowski 11 replies
Trump-backed Kelly Tshibaka isn’t holding back following her senate loss to GOP incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski, showering blame on establishment Republicans whom she said prefer an easily controlled Senate minority rather than a majority with varied opinions.
“It is regrettable that Sen. Mitch McConnell spent millions of dollars in this race on deceptive ads to secure what he wanted – a Senate minority that he can control, as opposed to a majority that he could not,” Tshibaka said. “Donors’ money would have been better spent in other states to elect more Republicans that would have secured a majority in the Senate.”

After Suddenly Discovered Votes Overturn
Georgia Election Race 1 reply
A Democrat has suddenly become an “election denier” after her race was narrowly overturned following the sudden discovery of missing votes on a memory card.
The previously uncounted votes on a memory card changed the election outcome in Cobb County, Georgia, officials say.
Madelyn Orochena had announced her win on social media for the Kennesaw City Council Special Post 1 seat when the results first came in.
“Feeling excited and so grateful! It’s a win! See you Monday,” Orochena wrote in the social media post.
However, Orochena’s victory was short-lived, after the memory card were discovered last Wednesday.
The USMNT hung with England for 94 minutes on Friday, but that was all they were able to do.
The sides played to a scoreless draw in their group stage matchup, putting the Americans in a must-win situation in their opening round finale against Iran.
“We’re proud, but our work isn’t done,” U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter told Fox Sports, adding more goals is what he’d like to see. “We have to win on Tuesday.” (Photo) Christian Pulisic came closest among the sides to scoring, putting a shot from the left side of the box off the crossbar in the 33rd minute.
It marked the first scoreless draw in a World Cup match
More than 70 per cent of children aged 7-12 are now afraid of climate change according to the results of a survey.
More than seven in ten children aged 7-12 are now worried about climate change, research conducted by a UK-based start-up has reportedly found.
It comes amid reports from various experts that children and teenagers of various demographics are experiencing high rates of mental health difficulties, with one school councillor earlier this year saying that anxiety rates have hit an all-time high post-lockdown.
According to a report by Euronews, the survey — which polled 1,000 children born between 2010 and 2015 on their views regarding the environment — found
When I was a senior in high school, I was required to take and pass a government class as a condition to graduate. My teacher was a retired Illinois state trooper. Naturally, my teacher had certain opinions about the criminal justice system and the courts. My teacher was not a big fan of the Miranda decision. His issue was not against informing a suspect about his rights; it was more about how the landmark decision was used to invalidate many good arrests on picayune issues. He complained that career criminals, especially murderers, would have their charges dropped by weak judges for matters not related to the arrest.
Seventeen days since voters went to the polls to cast their ballots in the midterm elections, two U.S. House races remain undeclared.
Republican John Duarte leads by fewer than 600 votes in California’s 13th district against Democrat Adam Gray with 99% of the votes in, according to the Associated Press. In Colorado, incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert declared victory after her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch conceded last week, but only 550 votes sit between them, triggering a recount and more delayed results.
After watching various “reporting” from so-called news outlets, there is no doubt that the claim by the Colorado “Club Q” mass shooting suspect’s attorneys that the person identifies as “non-binary” and likely is not a fervent MAGA supporter has sent The Usual Suspects into an absolute tailspin.
CNN, unsurprisingly, been the worst of the bunch, as we noted Thursday after they “interviewed” a transgender woman who suggested that Anderson Aldrich, the suspect in the mass shooting that killed five people, could not possibly have been “non-binary” … because he’s a man. This followed a segment in which anchor Alisyn Camerota looked visibly agitated and was momentarily speechless after finding out
Attorney John Meringolo died suddenly last week. He represented We Build the Wall leader Tim Shea. Attorney Meringolo also recently asked the courts to represent President Trump as well. Now he’s dead. (Snip) Meringolo was successful in defending individuals in multiple cases against the state.
Meringolo became a thorn in the side of federal prosecutors after winning streaks defending notorious clients in several prominent mafia, RICO, and large-scale narcotics cases.
We reported earlier this week, that super-successful attorney John Meringolo was suddenly dead at the age of 48. Meringolo recently represented We Build the Wall leader Tim Shea.

mass ‘amnesty’ for most banned accounts
after poll 3 replies
Twitter owner Elon Musk announced Thursday that an “amnesty” for most banned accounts would start next week, following a poll posted Wednesday afternoon.
“The people have spoken. Amnesty begins next week,” Musk posted on the social media site Thursday, before adding the Latin phrase “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” which translates to “the voice of the people is the voice of God.” He announced the decision just over two hours after the poll on the amnesty closed.
Over 3.1 million people voted in the poll Musk posted Wednesday, with 72.4% voting in favor of the “general amnesty” for account that had not “broken the law or engaged in egregious spam.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid said Wednesday on her show “The ReidOut” that she believed Republicans want to portray Thanksgiving as a “simplistic fairytale” to cover up for America being founded on “violence” and “genocide.”
Reid said, “We begin tonight with Thanksgiving, the day we gather with friends and family to enjoy turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. We throw on the game and catch up on our lives and discuss or quite possibly argue about religion and politics. For millions of Americans, it’s a day of cherished tradition. As Americans, we value those traditions.”
She continued, “But it is also to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving.
Earlier this year, a team of NHS researchers was asked to investigate why there has been such a huge rise in the number of adolescent biological girls seeking referrals to gender clinics. (Snip) Last year, there were more than 5,000, which was twice the number in the previous year. And the largest group, about two-thirds, now consisted of “birth-registered females first presenting in adolescence with gender-related distress”, the report said. The review team is looking into the causes behind “the considerable increase in the number of referrals” and the changing case mix, but is not expected to publish any findings
Joe Biden sees himself as the only Democrat who can 'slay' Donald Trump in the 2024 election, it has been claimed.
The 80 year-old president regularly reminds people he is the only person who has beaten Trump, and he remains confident that he's the man to repeat that feat in 2024, The New York Times reported.
Biden previously billed himself as a single term transitional president who'd bridge the gap between the chaos of the Trump years, and the emergence of a younger Democrat successor.
But he's since announced a plan to run again in 2024, despite already being the oldest president in US history.
'Why would he get out now?'

The Biden administration has quietly approved plans to build a new crude oil terminal in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas, seemingly in contradiction to the president’s climate agenda.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is urging Americans to get tested for the Chinese coronavirus prior to attending Thanksgiving gatherings, adding that “everybody” should not only be vaccinated but boosted as well.
Fauci spoke on Tuesday for his last White House press briefing before stepping down and ended his stint by declaring that “everybody” should be at least triple jabbed, receiving the regular vaccine series as well as a booster shot.
“First of all, everybody should be vaccinated and boosted with flu and with COVID ,” he began. “Whether or not you wear a mask — or another thing we shouldn’t underestimate is testing.”
Americans are ready to move on from the current Republican leadership, choosing to vote out Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
According to a new Rasmussen Reports Poll, just 28 percent of likely voters have a favorable view of McConnell, while 61 percent say the GOP needs a new leader.
Following his win, McConnell, who is the longest-serving GOP leader in Senate history, said that he doesn’t plan to give up his position anytime soon.
However, several Republicans feel that new, younger leadership is needed in Congress.
"Nobody, not Republicans, not independents, not Democrats in my state are happy with the leadership in Washington. I'm not either.

The Walmart gunman who opened fire in the break room of the Chesapeake store where he worked last night had a list of the names of people he wished to target.
Andre Bing, 31, opened fire in the breakroom of the Walmart in Sam’s Circuit, Chesapeake, at 10.12 pm last night, where 14 employees had gathered for a pre-shift meeting.
Bing’s rampage killed six people in total, including a 16-year-old boy.
In a press release Wednesday evening, the City of Chesapeake identified five of the deceased victims as Lorenzo Gamble, Brian Pendleton, Kellie Pyle, Randall Blevins, and Tyneka Johnson.
Disney’s latest animated feature, the gay, green Strange World, just tanked at the box office.
Gee, what a shock. You mean no one wants to waste their Thanksgiving weekend having their children prematurely sexualized by groomers with a side order of enviro-guilt? This should do wonders for Disney’s already cratered stock price. Strange World cost anywhere from $150 million to $180 million to produce. Add at least another $50 to $100 million to promote, and what you have here is a straight-up catastrophe, a quarter of a billion — with a “B” — write-off.
Railway Strike Seen as Increasingly Inevitable,

Threatens to Derail Economy Ahead of Holidays 26 replies
A national freight rail strike is viewed as increasingly inevitable as four rail worker labor unions have rejected a tentative agreement with rail companies.
In September, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh brokered a tentative deal between rail unions and rail carriers while President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were out of town. Union concerns centered around sick time and scheduling, and Walsh’s work appeared to have avoided a strike that had the potential for far-reaching consequences on the American economy. However, the deal has fallen to pieces, and the clock is ticking as a December 9 strike looms.
On Monday, members of SMART Transportation Division,
