While Social Security is set to increase by 3.2 percent in 2024, many seniors are worried about how the limited inflation adjustment will keep them afloat. [SNIP] The concerns are growing, as nearly three in five seniors said they were struggling financially, and 70 percent of single seniors already struggle with their existing Social Security income. The ramifications of the small COLA boost could be severe, with around two in five seniors saying they plan to seek employment due to the modest increase. For single seniors specifically, 47 percent said they would consider employment to supplement their incomes.
A mother has been left horrified by the prices at Disney World after she had to fork out a staggering $70 for a bowl of cereal for her daughter.
Autumn Scott took to TikTok to showcase the hefty costs at the Cinderella's Royal Table resort restaurant in Orlando, Florida.
She filmed travel companion Kaitlin LeBeouf, from Louisiana, who was left dismayed at the pricing. The mom-of-two had paid a standard fee of $69 per person for the breakfast buffet menu - but to her dismay, her daughter only chose to enjoy a single bowl of cereal, meaning that the simple dish cost her mom nearly $70.
A Turkish member of parliament collapsed on Tuesday with an apparent heart attack amid discussing godly punishments for the Israeli people.
Felicity (Saadet) Party Member Hasan Bitmez fell beside a podium while addressing the Grand Assembly of the Turkish National Assembly during a reported budgetary discussion.

Milwaukee County District Attorney (DA) John Chisholm (D) is refusing to review hundreds of cases of potential illegal voting via Wisconsin’s same-day registration policy, researchers at the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) say.
According to PILF researchers, Chisholm has not bothered to review at least 354 cases of potential illegal voting that were referred to the Milwaukee County DA’s Office since 2020. “Election officials are best situated to notice and investigate potential violations of election law,” PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement:Wisconsin requires election officials to investigate same-day registrations and refer individuals who appear to have used bad addresses to prosecuting authorities.
President Joe Biden warned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday that Israel might lose international support over its post-war plans for Gaza.
At a Democratic fundraiser in Washington, D.C., Biden called the current Israeli government the “most conservative government in Israel’s history” and added that Netanyahu “doesn’t want a two-state solution,” which Biden said needs to change.
“Israel’s security can rest on the United States, but right now it has more than the United States. It has the European Union, it has Europe, it has most of the world. . . . But they’re starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing that takes place,” Biden said.

The Israeli army said today that it had recovered during an operation in Gaza the bodies of two hostages taken by Hamas in its October 7 attack.
Following the bodies' positive identification, authorities 'informed the families of Eden Zakaria and Ziv Dado that their bodies had been recovered and returned to Israel,' the army said in a statement.
Zakaria, 28, had travelled to the Nova festival with her boyfriend Ofek Kimchi, 23, who was killed in the attack which left more than 260 dead and saw dozens captured.
Economic Angst in the Heartland

Bidenomics is failing America, infecting the land with a persistent and intensifying cynicism, despite attempts by the White House and a partisan press to impose misleading narratives on the electorate.
For example, the media rushed to heap praise upon last week’s modestly constructive jobs report. The actual numbers reveal a mixed bag – not a terrible report, but certainly not a parade-worthy one, either.
The 199,000 jobs added in November sits below the average for the year 2023, and far off the prior levels of 2021 and 2022. Regarding jobs added since Biden took office, the easy part is over, meaning the task of regaining the lost jobs resulting from the COVID
The border crisis has a new victim-- US citizens who live near the border and legally cross from the US to Mexico on a regular basis.
With a surge of migrants illegally flooding into the US west of Lukeville, Arizona, US border officials have shut down the port of entry in town to legitimate traffic.
The Tucson area, which Lukeville is part of, has seen 17,500 encounters in a single week-- the highest weekly total ever recorded. As thousands of migrants from around the world illegally slip into the nation by simply squeezing through openings in the border wall, federal agents at the port of entry have been sent to help

Last month, the Army sent a letter to thousands of soldiers who were discharged for refusing to comply with the COVID-19 shot mandate.
The letter states that, “as a result of the rescission of all current COVID-19 vaccination requirements, former soldiers who were involuntarily separated for refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccination may request a correction of their military records.” It also states that, “individuals who desire to apply to return to service should contact their local… recruiter.” (Copy of Letter)
Google lost an antitrust case against popular video game maker Epic Games on Monday, with a jury ruling that the tech giant exerted “monopoly power” and engaged in anticompetitive conduct through its app store.
Epic, which makes Fortnite, alleged that Google stifles competition and imposes excessively costly charges on app makers using its Google Play Store. (snip)
Google and Epic will meet with U.S. District Judge James Donato in January to deliberate about possible remedies, which could significantly reduce the profits Google obtains and will likely force the tech giant to alter its business practices.

What Happened to Ron DeSantis?
replies
Ron DeSantis is running as the true-blue conservative in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
And he's learning the hard way that Republicans don't nominate true-blue conservatives.
As Donald Trump leads every poll by double-digits, the Florida governor who seemed such a promising prospect just a year ago is now at risk of falling to third place.
If Nikki Haley bests DeSantis in Iowa, his 2024 campaign won't be the only casualty; his hopes of ever becoming president will dim, and rivals won't fear him as they look to '28 or '32. How did DeSantis go from a 19-point reelection only a year ago to a fight for his political life today?
Democratic Attorney General Kwame Raoul of Illinois announced Monday that he filed a motion agreeing not to enforce a state law that targeted pregnancy centers for using alleged “deceptive acts” to lead women away from getting an abortion.
The law, Senate Bill 1909, was signed by Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker in July and would punish pro-life pregnancy centers with $50,000 for using alleged “deceptive acts or practices” to prevent women from gaining access to abortion or “induce” a woman to use the services of the pregnancy center. (snip) a district court judge ruled in August that the law was “stupid” and “likely unconstitutional.”
An entertainer named Dylan Mulvaney decided a couple of years ago that he would be more entertaining if he “identified” as a woman.
Not to the point that he had his penis removed, mind you. But just enough to prance around in women’s clothing and adopt a farcical falsetto voice and hang out in women’s restrooms.
So, what he really “identifies” as, is a man with a penis – not to mention billions of Y chromosomes – who likes to prance around in women’s clothing with a farcical falsetto voice and hang out in women’s restrooms.

As Cop28 in Dubai enters its final hours, the emotional weight of the moment is hard to bear. I find myself thinking of a six-year-old boy called Desmond I met in Turkana county, Kenya, who died from severe acute malnutrition on the same day. His death was the result of a climate-induced drought that has left millions of people on the brink of starvation in the Horn of Africa.
I want the negotiators deciding the outcome of Cop28 to know Desmond’s story. Because in the end, the climate crisis is not about pledges, statistics, reports or activists. It’s about human suffering and ruined lives. It’s about death.
John Kerry’s call to end all coal-powered electricity generation is “silly” and “self-destructive,” writes former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and “makes the United States look delusional.”
In his punchy essay, Gingrich insists that it is “not hyperbole or exaggeration” to call John Kerry “crazy,” since the word crazy means “marked by thought or action that lacks reason.”
Mr. Kerry’s failing mental state was on full display during his recent “emotional speech” to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, where he made a plea to “end all coal burning power plant construction in the entire world.”

Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocacy organizations received nearly $2 billion in federal funding over a three year span, according to a new government report.
The Government Accountability Office disclosed in a Tuesday report that $1.89 billion in federal dollars was allocated to multiple different pro-abortion organizations, including those that perform abortion, over the three year period from 2019 to 2021. Planned Parenthood received the overwhelming bulk of the sum, a whopping $1.78 billion, during the three-year period, all while it performed 1.11 million abortions.
I’m not on TikTok, and I recommend you delete your account if you are (or your kid’s accounts, if they have them). If you don’t think you can live without it you can cut out the middleman and send all your personal data to the Chinese consulate (or reach out to Eric Swalwell’s office and ask for Fang-Fang’s number, same difference). But putting aside the communists who run it, there’s a big problem with the communists who use it – many of them are teachers, and a disturbing percentage of them are mentally unstable.
This isn’t just about TikTok, it’s about academia.

Special Counsel Jack Smith collected data from the cellphone former President Donald Trump used in the White House, according to a recent court filing.
Smith revealed three expert witnesses he may call on during Trump’s coming 2020 election trial in a court filing Monday, including one who “extracted and processed data from the White House cell phones used by the defendant [Trump] and one other individual.” Data reviewed by Smith’s expert witness includes images and website visits, along with phone “usage” around Jan. 6, 2021, according to the filing.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back at United States plans to place a reformed Palestinian Authority in Gaza once Israel’s military campaign to oust Gaza is finished.
"Gaza will be neither Hamastan nor Fatahstan,” he said on Tuesday. Netanyahu spoke as United States President Joe Biden has faced increased pressure to pressure Israel to halt the Gaza war, sparked by Hamas’ infiltration of southern Israel and the killing of over 1,200 people and seizure of some 250 hostages.
The US has backed Israel’s military campaign, sending military and financial assistance. It vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire that failed to condemn Hamas.
Joe Biden is in “deep, deep trouble” in his bid to win re-election. Democrats are scrambling and bringing in the heavy hitters.
One heavy hitter, Hillary Clinton, is a known election denier and two-time loser in winning the presidency herself, so what can go wrong? Fox News’ Charlie Hurt had some thoughts on Hillary’s umpteenth re-emergence on the political scene.“But, you know you are in deep, deep trouble if you are picking up the bat phone and calling Hillary Clinton to come help you out,” Hurt added. “And I think it was sort of interesting that their thinking is that he needs help among women voters.

Will Mitt Romney Back Biden?

Mitt may be moot when it comes to representing the people of Utah in the U.S. Senate, but something tells me that he isn't quite finished yet in the political arena. At least, he probably does not think so.

During Mitt's career as a senator, I, and doubtless, countless other Utah Republicans, quietly seethed when some wonk or pundit opined that the people of Utah adored Romney. I'm sure there are some older folks in Utah, who look at his LDS background and who would vote a straight "R" ticket no matter what, who may have his back.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden goes into next year’s election with a vexing challenge: Just as the U.S. economy is getting stronger, people are still feeling horrible about it. Pollsters and economists say there has never been as wide a gap between the underlying health of the economy and public perception. The divergence could be a decisive factor in whether the Democrat secures a second term next year. Republicans are seizing on the dissatisfaction to skewer Biden, while the White House is finding less success as it tries to highlight economic progress.
According to prominent Republican legal expert Mike Davis, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request for a Supreme Court ruling on Donald Trump’s presidential immunity is nothing short of “election interference.”
As Hunter Biden is just starting to face comparatively minor consequences for his shocking crimes, and the media continue to cover for Joe Biden’s corruption, the aggressive and desperate lawfare against GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump continues. PJ Media previously published exclusive details on alleged severe ethical violations and deceptive practices from Justice Department’s Jack Smith and his team in prosecuting Republicans, notably former Rep. Rick Renzi and Trump.

"Hit this b****, hit this b****," one woman in a car involved in a Seattle hit-and-run can be heard saying while another woman laughs. The assault was one of two caught on security cameras purposely hitting two different pedestrians in late November. The Seattle Police Department released the videos on Friday — including cellphone video taken from inside one of the cars — in hopes that someone might be able to help ID the victims or the attackers.
There's no mistaking the women's deadly intentions or the glee they took.
"Based on the speed of the impact," MyNorthwest reported on Monday, "it is likely that the victims suffered serious injury."
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz argued that various studies departments such as “Black Studies, Gay Studies, South Asian Studies, Jewish Studies” should all be abolished.
Dershowitz stated, “[T]hese departments have tenured professors who can’t be fired. The departments, however, can be abolished. And we should abolish Black Studies, Gay Studies, South Asian Studies, Jewish Studies. You go to a university to study, to learn how to think, not to be part of a club, not to become part of a cheering section. And these departments, some of them are quite good academically, but many of them, for example, Critical Race Theory
There never has been an independent, self-governed national entity called "Palestine."
In Biblical times, the region now encompassing Israel was known as Canaan, which included the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. The term "Palestine" originally referred to a small area occupied by the Philistines (as one theory has it), from whence comes the name "Palestine." In Roman times, the area was known as Judea and was ruled by Jewish kings, and, under the Roman Emperor Constantine, became a Christian province generally known in Europe simply as "The Holy Land." The name "Palestine" was not legally applied until the British occupation starting in 1915.

Ahem. Later today, Beege will explore the question of what exactly it takes to get fired from Harvard. For now, let’s just marvel at the intellectual gymnastics of Harvard’s corporate board, which issued a statement just an hour ago or so expressing unanimous support for Claudine Gay … while tacitly admitting her plagiarism issues.
Here’s the Harvard Crimson report passing along their enthusiastic vote-of-confidence in the integrity of Gay’s leadership:
“As members of the Harvard Corporation, we today reaffirm our support for President Gay’s continued leadership of Harvard University,” the board wrote in a University-wide statement on Tuesday. “In this tumultuous and difficult time, we unanimously stand in support of President Gay.”

How the Democrats can steal 2024
replies
The majority of informed Americans believe that the election of 2020 was at the very least tampered with, and at most, stolen from Donald Trump. I agree with them.
After “mules” delivering contrived and phony ballots to drop boxes throughout the country, Joe Biden somehow became president.
After machine “malfunctions” and outright collapses, an unknown number of ballots, perhaps even hundreds of thousands, were either uncounted, or flipped from Republican to Democrat.
After votes cast by dead people appeared, somehow the election was lost for Trump and every American who voted for him...
Claudine Gay will remain as Harvard president with the full support of the Ivy League college's governing body, the university's board announced in a statement on Tuesday.
The board wrote: 'As members of the Harvard Corporation, we today reaffirm our support for President Gay’s continued leadership of Harvard University. Our extensive deliberations affirm our confidence that President Gay is the right leader to help our community heal and to address the very serious societal issues we are facing.
The board acknowledged Gay's mistakes in handling anti-Semitism on campus, adding:
Uncle Sam wants YOU … to hire Grandpa as a piano lugger. Or else. That’s the latest madness from the federal government’s woke bowels: an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit against Fresno-based Meathead Movers after the company refused to comply with a demand for a $15 million settlement.
Meathead’s crime? “Discouragement bias,” i.e., the claim that hiring student-athletes of both genders in tip-top shape as movers and touting that fact in ads somehow discourages older people from applying for jobs.

The groundbreaking political scientist whose work academic activist Christopher Rufo accused Harvard President Claudine Gay of plagiarizing told RedState she is shocked by this scandal coming on the heels of Gay’s disastrous Dec. 5 congressional hearing on antisemitism on college campuses.
“I'm trying to process it because I feel like I don't have enough information to assess everything fully,” said Carol Swain, whose breakthrough book, “Black Faces, Black Interests: The Representation of African Americans in Congress,” won the LBJ Foundation’s D.B. Hardeman Prize for congressional scholarship and the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award from the American Political Science Association.
Harvard President Claudine Gay is expected to remain in her post after her Congressional testimony on antisemitism sparked widespread public outrage last week.
The Harvard Corporation, the university's governing body, will issue a statement of support for Gay on Tuesday morning, the Harvard Crimson reported, citing a source familiar with the board's decision after it met Monday to discuss the matter.
Harvard University did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Gay, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth each faced intense backlash after they appeared before Congress last week and were grilled
"At long last, we’re building the first high-speed rail project in our nation’s history. And it’s starting here.”
That was President Joe Biden announcing last week that us taxpayers will be ponying up $3 billion to help a private company build a bullet train from Los Angeles to Las Vegas so gambleholics can start losing money more quickly.
The L.A. to Vegas train will supposedly be finished in time for the Los Angeles Summer Olympics in 2028 — just four and half years from now.

Two Weeks That Changed America

I was recently asked if there was a defining moment that dramatically accelerated and perhaps made permanent the chaos this nation is presently facing. My answer: the two weeks between March 16 and March 30, 2020.
On March 16th, Donald Trump declared a National Emergency for COVID-19 and effectively shut down the nation for “15 days to slow the spread”. At a press conference announcing the temporary shutdown he said: said: “ With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner, and turn it quickly.”
Regardless of the severity, never throughout the annals of mankind has a nation been shut down to combat a pandemic.

It turns out that the American people know a scam when they see one — even Democrats. A new I&I/TIPP poll shows indisputably that the lawsuits against Trump are beginning to boomerang in the minds of Democrats. Indeed, they're not buying the BS that Donald Trump is a "THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!!!!!!"
Donald Trump is currently indicted on 91 obviously orchestrated felony counts, as well as other lawsuits in multiple venues around the U.S. There's the indictment about legally held documents at Mar-a-Lago, there's the one about "inciting" an insurrection, and there's the fraudulent civil lawsuit in New York on which the judge has already ruled the former president is guilty
The Associated Press (AP) on Sunday denounced the “shocking level of censorship” imposed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai. The AP was mortified by “sharp restrictions on what demonstrators could say, where they could walk and what their signs could portray.”
“At times, the controls bordered on the absurd,” the AP said, pointing to a rule that prevented demonstrators from waving signs with the names of detained activists, a 500-strong pro-Palestinian protest group that was prevented from leaving the U.N.’s “Blue Zone” in Dubai, and a ban on the genocidal Palestinian slogan “from the river to the sea.”

“We have encircled the last strongholds of Hamas in Jabaliya and Shejaiya, the battalions that were considered invincible, that prepared for years to fight us, are on the verge of being dismantled,” Gallant says at a press conference.
He says hundreds of Hamas operatives have surrendered to Israeli troops in recent days, which he says “shows what is happening” to the terror group.
“Whoever surrenders — his life is spared,” Gallant says, adding that among those who have been arrested by the IDF are terrorists who participated
