Material Allegedly Watched On ‘Old Twitter’: Report replies
An independent cybersecurity data analyst working alongside top officials at Twitter found accounts posting content that allegedly sexually exploited children garnered more than ten million views on the platform under previous ownership.
Andrea Stroppa, founder of cybersecurity group Ghost Data, personally funded research last summer that resulted in the eradication of more than 500 accounts soliciting Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), which led approximately 30 major advertisers to pull or pause their ad services on their Twitter accounts.
Twitter on Monday night disbanded its Trust and Safety Council, the department that critics claimed engaged in disproportionate content moderation of conservatives and accounts that expressed unorthodox political ideologies.
The company announced in an email, “We are reevaluating how best to bring external insights into our product and policy development work. As part of this process, we have decided that the Trust and Safety Council is not the best structure to do this.”
Yoel Roth, the former global head of Trust and Safety who resigned after Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, was responsible for leading the team that suppressed the Biden-laptop bombshell exposed by the New York Post.
DENVER - The Colorado Secretary of State certified the 2022 General Election on Monday. “The certification was conducted after each county’s bipartisan canvass boards submitted their official abstract of votes to the Secretary of State’s Office, as well as the conclusion of a mandatory recount in the race for Colorado’s U.S. Congressional District 3 and permissive recount of the Colorado House District 43 race,” part of a news release from the Secretary of State’s Office reads. The race for U.S. Congressional District 3 went to an automatic recount because of how close it was. Incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert officially
We previously reported on Dec. 9 about the sudden death of Grant Wahl, a sports journalist in Qatar covering the World Cup. He collapsed suddenly during the quarterfinal game between the Netherlands and Argentina. Wahl had just turned 48. Wahl had previously had trouble with security at the stadium in Qatar for wearing a rainbow shirt on Nov. 21. He was initially refused entry and detained for 25 minutes before he was allowed into the stadium. At one point, there was a scuffle, according to Wahl, who wrote at the time that one guard ripped his phone forcibly out of his hand. Ultimately, he said they apologized
Joe Biden, border dodger

President Joe Biden doesn’t answer many questions without his handler-approved list of reporters.
So when he does occasionally go rogue, you can rest assured his answers are coming from the heart.
Last week, when Fox News reporter Peter Doocy — or as Joe likes to call him, the “one-horse pony” — asked the president why he didn’t plan on visiting the border during his trip to Arizona, Joe had a rare moment of honesty. “There are more important things going on,” he shouted on the White House South Lawn.
Arizonans — and the rest of America — might disagree. A Gallup poll earlier this year showed that 41 percent of Americans worry
Former Department of Energy official Sam Brinton no longer works for the department, a spokesperson told the Washington Examiner on Monday, amid allegations that Brinton has been involved in multiple luggage thefts.
“Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee. By law, the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters,” the department spokesperson said in an email. Prior to Monday's report, the department claimed that Brinton, who is nonbinary, was placed on leave but refused to comment on whether the leave was paid. It is not clear whether Brinton resigned, or was fired from the department.
The vicious and coordinated attacks by mainstream news figures against independent journalist Matt Taibbi in recent days reinforce an essential point about the American news media: they think we are all drooling idiots. Their response to Taibbi’s release of the Twitter Files, which details the company’s calculated suppression of a major news story in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, underscores this exceedingly low estimation of its audience.
Outlets like MSNBC and the New York Times seem to hope the American public is ignorant of the fact that they got every aspect of the Hunter Biden laptop story wrong from the start.
A majority of Democrats do not want Joe Biden to launch a 2024 reelection campaign, a CNBC/All-America Economic survey revealed over the weekend.
Fifty-seven percent of Democrats do not want a second Biden campaign, along with 66 percent of independents and 86 percent of Republicans. Overall, 70 percent of Americans do not want a second reelection campaign. Just 19 percent support Biden’s potential reelection bid. A majority of Americans also do not want Former President Donald Trump to run for reelection, though Trump’s numbers are more favorable. Sixty-one percent of voters oppose Trump’s campaign, compared to 30 percent who support it. Among Republicans, only 37 percent do not want
Billionaire Twitter owner Elon Musk continued his war of words with critics after being booed at length by the audience at a Dave Chappelle show Sunday night in San Francisco.
“The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters,” he tweeted Monday morning after facing a tough crowd at a Punchline Comedy Club event at the Chase Center when Chappelle brought him on stage. The boos, and some cheers, followed months of controversy at the social media platform he’s owned since late October and a series of inflammatory Anthony Fauci-bashing tweets by Musk over the weekend, which were applauded by far-right Georgia Rep. Marjorie Talyor Greene. “My pronouns
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new rules on Friday that would restrict the use of refrigerators, air conditioning equipment and heat pumps that utilize hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
The EPA’s proposed rule would crack down on the manufacturing and importing of goods containing HFCs, which would restrict the use of HFCs in refrigeration units, air conditioning systems and heat pump equipment starting in 2025, according to an agency press release. In accordance with the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, a global climate treaty that the Senate ratified in September, the agency intends to reduce the production and consumption of HFCs by 85% by 2036. “With this latest proposal

Republican Host Who Refused Share Hunter
Biden Laptop Evidence replies
During an interview with Newsmax over the weekend, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani revealed that he gave Hunter Biden’s laptop to prominent Republicans who refused to report on it.
The comments were shocking to say the least considering the information was available in 2019 but several conservative news outlets failed to report on it despite having the evidence.
The names of these Republicans include John Solomon, Sean Hannity and Mike Pompeo.
Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” part 5 was released by Bari Weiss on Monday.
Part 5 of the release includes part 3 of the internal discussions on the day President Trump was permanently banned from Twitter on January 8, 2021.
According to the files released on Monday, Trump was banned from the platform even though Twitter execs privately concluded Trump never violated any of the policies.
However, Twitter employees were hell bent on deplatforming Trump anyway.
Twitter decided to indefinitely ban Donald Trump two days after the January 6 Capitol attack when rank-and-file employees compared him to Adolf Hitler and a terrorist leader - even though senior staff said said he didn't violate policy.
The latest revelations of the platform's actions taken against the former president and conservative voices were detailed in the fifth installment of the Twitter files published on Monday afternoon.
Journalist Bari Weiss shared internal messaging showing some staffers for the social media platform were concerned of the negative repercussions of banning Trump, including allegations of censorship.
WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre slammed Twitter CEO Elon Musk Monday for what she called his “disgusting” tweets calling for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be prosecuted for allegedly lying to Congress and potentially causing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Musk, the world’s richest man, tweeted Sunday, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.” He clarified later that he was referring, in part, to Fauci allegedly perjuring himself by denying that his agency funded risky “gain of function” research in Wuhan, China, where the pandemic began.
“These personal attacks that we have been seeing are dangerous, on Dr. Fauci and other public health professionals as well.
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team of lawyers is DOUBLE the size of Mueller’s (Weissmann’s) team.
Mueller had a team of a dozen angry Democrats and Hillary Clinton donors harassing Trump for two years.
Jack Smith, who is tied closely to the Obamas, has more than 20 lawyers harassing Biden’s political opponent.
“Smith takes over a staff that’s already nearly twice the size of Robert Mueller’s team of lawyers who worked on the Russia probe. A team of 20 prosecutors investigating January 6 and the effort to overturn the 2020 election are in the process of moving to work under Smith, according to multiple people familiar with the team.” CNN reported.
Washington DC will permanently offer free bus rides on all routes from next summer and other big cities like Boston and Denver may follow suit in what would be America's biggest public transport shakeup in years. Under a plan agreed unanimously by Washington DC's council last week, the city will expand its transport services and waive the $2 fares for riders boarding Metrobuses within city limits from around July 1. During the Covid-19 pandemic, cities from Los Angeles to Missouri and New York stopped collecting bus fares to cut human contact and ensure residents could reach jobs and services at
Russian President Vladimir Putin will not hold an annual news conference as scheduled this month, instead moving it to an unspecified date next year, Russian media reported Monday.
"As for the annual news conference, yes, there won't be one before the New Year, but we expect that the president will still find an opportunity to talk to [reporters], as he does regularly, including during his foreign visits," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian state media agency Tass.
"We will inform you in due time," Peskov said, but declined to give a reason for the postponement.
Thirty-four years ago this month, a bomb destroyed Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland killing 270 people.
Libyan Abdel Baset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the only person convicted of the bombing to date, was jailed for life but was released early in 2009 on compassionate grounds after a terminal prostate cancer diagnosis which doctors claimed left him only three months to live.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi was not as ill as described and lived until 2012 in freedom, celebrated as a hero in Libya.
Two months after the FBI subpoenaed the laptop Hunter Biden had abandoned at a Delaware computer repair store, the Drug Enforcement Administration searched the office of Hunter’s one-time psychiatrist Keith Ablow and seized a second laptop Hunter had left with him. The timing of the DEA raid and the fact that criminal charges were never filed against Ablow, coupled with whistleblowers’ claims that the FBI buried evidence against Hunter Biden, raises the question of whether the search was a pretext to recover Hunter’s laptop and protect the Biden family.
While the DEA’s recovery of the second Hunter Biden laptop escaped scrutiny over the last nearly three years
Amsterdam is launching an offensive to attract tourists interested first and foremost in its architecture and museums, and to bar those who are primarily attracted by its Red Light District and drug dens. These so-called “coffee shops” will soon be closed to foreigners anyway, if the city can get around the legal obstacles to enforce such a controversial measure.

a Few Rogue Actors replies
The fifth installment of the Twitter Files release drops today courtesy of Ms. Bari Weiss [READ HERE]. (snip)The Twitter executives justified their actions by echo-chambering a belief that President Trump was tweeting “coded messages,” the secret transmission of thoughts that can only be received by those wearing red hats, tuned to a specific psychological frequency. As Weiss notes: “Less than 90 minutes after Twitter employees had determined that Trump’s tweets were not in violation of Twitter policy, Vijaya Gadde—Twitter’s Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust—asked whether it could, in fact, be “coded incitement to further violence.”
What? You mean young voters can’t relate to their “crazy … Uncle Joe,” as Barack Obama suggested in the Freudian Slip of the Year? The deuce you say. And get off my damn lawn, too.
Nevertheless, the Associated Press takes note today that while Democrats won the youth vote as expected in the midterms, the margin turned out a lot narrower than expected. Not only did Republicans make some gains in this age demographic, younger voters appeared less enthusiastic and engaged. That should send up warning flares for Joe Biden and Democrat leadership, Will Weissert reports:

A member of a Boston suburb's Human Rights Commission resigned after posting a profanity-laden post to Facebook last week that mocked God and cursed her fellow citizens amid controversy regarding a local library's Christmas trees. The town of Dedham, Massachusetts, about 30 miles southwest of Boston, drew national attention after Lisa Desmond, manager of the local Endicott Branch Library, wrote on Facebook earlier this month that its annual Christmas tree display had apparently been canceled to prevent offending people.
"I have never posted a negative post on Facebook," Desmond wrote on Dec. 2. "That is, until now. I found out today that my beautiful library will not have [its] Christmas tree
Part five of the Twitter Files dropped Monday afternoon detailing the social media platform's decision to indefinitely ban Donald Trump two days after the January 6 Capitol attack.
The latest installment of the bombshell report reveals that even some employees for the social media giant warned of the dangers of censoring the U.S. president. It also shows correspondence proving that Twitter employees assigned to evaluate Trump's tweets conclude that the then-president had not violated Twitter policies.
Loudoun County Public Schools former superintendent Scott Ziegler and public information officer Wayde Byard were indicted by a special grand jury after an eight-month investigation into the district’s mishandling of two sexual assault cases.
A Loudoun County judge unsealed the indictments on Monday.
Ziegler was charged with one count of false publication, one count of prohibited conduct, and one count of penalizing an employee for a court appearance. Byard was charged with a count of felony perjury.
Former Secretary of State and current Fox News contributor Mike Pompeo said Sunday that the controversial prisoner swap with Russia, in which WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from Russian detention in exchange for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, will make it "more likely" for celebrities and other notables to be taken hostage abroad. Pompeo told "Fox News Sunday" anchor Shannon Bream that the Trump administration – in which he served – was careful not to create incentives for U.S. adversaries when negotiating prisoner exchanges. "The Trump administration was always very clear," he said. "We weren’t going to trade bad
Former President Donald Trump said he had previously turned down a prisoner swap deal with Russia, saying he couldn’t have former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan home but allow out convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who has “killed untold numbers.”
“I turned down a deal with Russia for a one on one swap of the so-called Merchant of Death for Paul Whelan. I wouldn’t have made the deal for a hundred people in exchange for someone that has killed untold numbers of people with his arms deals,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Dec. 11.
Before the Elon Musk buyout, Twitter looks like the worst-run tech company ever with new revelations about lax security, no oversight, and a corporate culture geared towards hiding the ugly truth from the company’s own board of directors and the FTC.
Former CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal have some ‘splainin to do.
Almost unnoticed among the more salacious #TwitterFiles reveals from Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, and Michael Shellenberger, “the stuff uncovered in the Twitter whistleblower report is much crazier,” according to Twitter user Avid Halaby.

Susan Sarandon has come out as bisexual in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During an appearance on the show back in September, Susan, 76, opened up about her sexuality in a candid chat with the host. The Dead Man Walking actress casually confirmed her own bisexuality when making a joke about cats and dogs. During the chat, Jimmy mentioned that Susan had brought her dogs out on a previous appearance she had made on the show. The Academy Award winner then informed the host that unfortunately her dogs had died a year before. She explained:
Karen Bass takes office as Los Angeles mayor with high hopes, having received a record number of votes, but she faces the immediate challenge of tackling a homeless crisis that has grown worse over recent years. Bass was sworn into office on Sunday by Vice President Kamala Harris — both politicians of color who’ve made history by becoming the first women elected to hold their positions. In her inaugural speech, Bass exhorted the city to work together to ease the homeless crisis and improve public safety. Some of her first actions as mayor will be to declare a state of
Emma Tucker is the next editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires — the first female in the top editorial role at the News Corp business publications.
Tucker, currently editor of the U.K.’s Sunday Times (which is also owned by News Corp), will take over the role from Matt Murray early next year. Tucker will assume the position as EIC of the Journal and Dow Jones Newswires on Feb. 1, 2023. Murray will assist her in the transition until March 1, when he will take on a new senior role managing “critical growth projects” at News Corp, reporting to CEO Robert Thomson, the company announced.

Hundreds of migrants were spotted Sunday night crossing illegally into El Paso, Texas, through the U.S.-Mexico border.
A massive line of migrants was waiting to be taken into custody by Border Patrol, and more migrants are on the way.
In a 24-hour time span from Friday to Saturday, the El Paso sector had more than 2,600 migrant crossings. Prior to these border crossings, Mexican police escorted nearly 20 buses full of migrants into the Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez, which is located across from El Paso. The Police released the migrants to various non-governmental organizations. The migrants then walked from the non-governmental organizations and crossed illegally into El Paso.

Are we sure that there is all that much ruin left in the United States?
We are $31 trillion in collective debt. The new normal is $1.5 trillion budget deficits. The military is politicized and short of recruits. We trade lethal terrorists for woke celebrity athletes as if to confirm our enemies’ cynical stereotypes.
Our FBI is corrupt and discredited, collaborating with Silicon Valley contractors to suppress free speech and warp elections. We practice segregation and racial discrimination and claim we do not because the right and good people support it and, anyway, the victims deserve it.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban maintains close relations with Russia and seems to be turning a blind eye to the presence of Russian agents in Hungary. In late November 2022, Ukrainian special forces arrested a suspected Russian agent at the Ukraine–Hungary border. The man had been attempting to smuggle secret information into EU member state Hungary on a flash drive that he had allegedly concealed in his an*s.
The flash drive contained stolen personal information about senior figures and staff at the Ukrainian domestic secret service SBU and the Ukrainian military intelligence service GUR, as well as sensitive data on Ukrainian army bases, weapons and logistics.

Before the 2020 election, Twitter executives were "clearly liaising with federal enforcement and intelligence agencies about moderation of election-related content," according to Friday's dump of the "Twitter files," as reported by Matt Taibbi.
According to the information provided by Elon Musk, Twitter executive Yoel Roth "not only met weekly with the FBI and DHS, but with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).In these three tweets, Taibbi describes what was going on in the weeks before the 2020 election through January 6, 2021:
The January 6th committee is finally on the cusp of releasing its much-hyped “report” on the unrest that took place at the Capitol Building following the 2020 election.
Or is it? I mean, yes, there’s going to be a report released (and a separate release of criminal referrals), but if the first leaked details of what it will actually contain are any indication, it isn’t actually going to be about the unrest at the Capitol Building at all. Rather, it’s going to be just one big continuation of the committee’s obsession with Donald Trump, who was not even present.
Sources spoke to Politico about what the chapter list will be,
Twitter owner Elon Musk appeared to call for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be brought up on criminal charges in a tweet on Sunday that also poked fun at people who post their gender pronouns.
“My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” Musk posted on Twitter Sunday morning. He also posted a photoshopped image of the retiring White House chief medical adviser whispering in President Biden’s ear captioned, “JUST ONE MORE LOCKDOWN MY KING…”
Musk, 51, later elaborated on why he thought Fauci — the face of America’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic — should be prosecuted.
What next for Viktor Bout?
replies
The controversy over the one-sided prisoner exchange between the U.S. and Russia, with notorious "Merchant of Death" and "Lord of War"Viktor Bout traded for a wokester celebrity basketball player caught with a personal stash of CBD oil, is now dying down. The remaining question is what's next?
We can safely assume that Brittney Griner will either return to professional basketball, or more likely enter the lucrative lecture circuit with book deals and television appearances. That's a very big 'who cares'?
But arms trafficker Viktor Bout is another story.
What is he going to do now that he is out and about in Russia now, coming home to a hero's welcome,
A former Virginia Tech soccer player who says she was benched for refusing to take a knee during the national anthem has been given to go-ahead to sue the school for violations of her freedom of speech.

The sanctuary city of Chicago is turning zero criminal illegal aliens over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency for arrest and deportation in part thanks to Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) protections for gang members and felons.
In the third quarter of 2022, city records show that none of the three ICE detainers filed with Chicago police — requesting custody of criminal illegal aliens — were honored. Likely hundreds, potentially thousands, more illegal aliens were arrested in Chicago during the period, but ICE agents have been restricted in issuing detainers by the Biden administration.
With the media saturated once again with forecasts of a coming surge in COVID cases and the flu this winter, it’s perhaps no surprise that Americans overwhelmingly believe the pandemic is still with us. But they also want the government to end its COVID emergency declaration, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
In a much-discussed interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes back in September, President Biden made the controversial comment that the pandemic “is over” in the U.S. His remarks set off a lively, and at times angry, debate.
The I&I/TIPP poll asked respondents simply, “Is the COVID pandemic over or not over?” By a slightly more than 2-to-1

The U.S. Supreme Court finally heard oral arguments in Moore v. Harper last week. The case involves a mundane constitutional issue concerning the definition of “legislature” as used in the elections clause. Yet it has produced panic among Democrats and a torrent of portentous predictions about the death of democracy from various leftist law professors. In the Washington Post, for example, Harvard University’s Noah Feldman expressed alarm that the court took up the “insane” case at all.

Washington — Newly-appointed special counsel Jack Smith is moving fast on a pair of criminal probes around Donald Trump that in recent months have focused on the former president’s state of mind after the 2020 election, including what he knew about plans to impede the transfer of power, people familiar with the matter tell CNN.
Though he remains in Europe recovering from a biking accident, Smith has made a series of high-profile moves since he was put in charge last month, including asking a federal judge to hold Trump in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena ordering him to turn over records marked classified.
