Africans Might ‘Know It’s Christmas’
If They Weren’t Slaves To ‘Green’ Energy

With the Christmas season ending and radio stations returning to their regular selection of music, one song I most certainly will not miss is that painful British tune “Do They Know It’s Christmas.” Written nearly 40 years ago by a group of British musicians to raise money for victims of Ethiopia’s famine, the song is best remembered as the leading prompt for millions worldwide to change the station — a truly terrible, annoying, sanctimonious song despite its noble intentions and purported support for a worthy cause. Resulting mostly from the tribal chaos of the country’s decade-long civil war, the Ethiopian famine affected roughly 8 million people. What saved the nation

On Friday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who claims to be a Republican, signed an executive order banning transgender surgeries for children under the age of 18 at any Ohio hospital or ambulatory facility. That's good, right? Wrong. The order comes a week after the governor vetoed sub-HB 68, a bill that not only would have banned transgender surgeries on children, but also would have outlawed chemical castration, puberty blockers, and men participating in women's sports. It also included a provision that would allow recourse for women harmed by men participating in their sports. When he vetoed the SAFE Act, DeWine parroted left-wing trans activists, claiming, without evidence,

Grace Slick, chanteuse and enchantress of ‘60s San Francisco psychedelic rock stalwarts Jefferson Airplane, is often albeit inaccurately credited with the quip, “If you remember the ‘60s, you really weren’t there.” Many a rock'n'roll star has left any effort to chronicle their life story either entirely to a third party or has leaned heavily on a cowriter or ghostwriter to detail the assorted and often sordid detailings of sex, drugs, and … well, rock'n'roll. While Geddy Lee, bassist/keyboardist/singer of Canadian progressive hard rock trio Rush, used assistance in putting together his autobiography
Harvard President Claudine Gay’s recent testimony before the U.S. Congress and subsequent exposure of her academic history have revealed much about the true nature and purpose of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ideology.
The most significant “A-ha!” moment from le affair Gay is that DEI only “works” in noncompetitive environments such as government and academia. The principles of “diversity” and “equity” implicitly assume that entities and organizations will continue along their current trajectory regardless of who’s in charge. DEI discounts merit, ability, and leadership and assumes as a matter of ideological gospel that “diversity” will more than make up for their loss.
What Did Joe Biden Do to His Face?

While most Americans are struggling to make ends meet in this economy, Joe Biden was just on his gazillionth vacation, this time in St. Croix. And it looks like he enjoyed plenty of time in the sun because on his way back to Washington, D.C. (a mere layover before his next vacation coming up shortly, no doubt), Biden was seen with a wicked sunburn on his face. "The 81-year-old president’s striking new sunburn was on full display as he shook hands on the tarmac of Henry E. Rohlsen Airport in Christiansted, St. Croix, before boarding Air Force One with first lady Jill Biden.
The sun’s rays apparently battered
Ray Epps, the only person who was captured on video actually telling people to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6. 2021, has just been recommended for a six-month sentence, while others who entered the Capitol when police opened the doors for them and walked around for awhile taking selfies are facing years in prison. What’s going on here? The most obvious explanation is that Ray Epps is or was a fed, and a leader of efforts to fabricate a Jan. 6 “insurrection” in order to frame and destroy Donald Trump. But surely the leftist elites wouldn’t dream of doing such a thing, would they? The Daily Wire reported Tuesday
Lee Jae-myung, recognized as South Korea’s main opposition party leader, was stabbed in the neck at an impromptu press conference in the southern city of Busan. Lee had just completed a tour of the Gadeokdo New Airport construction site and had stopped to talk with a gathering of reporters. There, a yet-to-be-identified man in his sixties approached Lee, asking for an autograph. The man mingling with Lee supporters, wore a paper crown with Lee’s name on it. He suddenly lunged forward and stabbed Lee in the left side of his neck. The attacker was immediately subdued, separated from the crowd, and arrested. Lee was airlifted to Pusan National
The Girl with Six Identities

Since Oct. 7, the public has been inundated with allegations of Israeli atrocities and human rights abuses. Israel, we’re told, is committing a “genocide” in Gaza, and, in fact, has been through all the years in which the Gazan population has grown steadily. The strange story of one young woman, or really, one photograph, is an object lesson in why such claims of Israeli evils should be taken with a large grain of salt. On X, a poster who identifies herself as Hagit on Sunday posted a highly illuminating thread about a girl with “6 different identities,” and “all of them suffered from the IDF!” This is, said Hagit,
The fact that the hordes of new arrivals know all the loopholes and legal angles to scam our immigration laws and maximize benefits on our welfare system, while the working American does not, is really quite astounding, and tells me that there have to be a number of lawyers involved, telling these people what they can do to cheat American citizens out of a country. Check out this story, reported by the New York Post yesterday:
"Two New York City men staged armed robberies at convenience stores and fast food joints across the United States to scheme immigration benefits, federal prosecutors said Friday.
The Biden regime seems hell-bent on celebrating and subsidizing the worst tendencies of human nature: not only every conceivable manner of perversion, but resentment, envy, the privilege of protected classes rather than advancement on the basis of merit, and so much more. It is not hard to suspect that Biden and his henchmen have some vested interest in encouraging Americans to become worse people, harder to get along with and more difficult to deal with. What could more effectively justify an authoritarian crackdown than a population that is as obstreperous as it is immature?
In Old Joe Biden’s America, there’s justice if you’re a patriot, which could mean spending years in prison for strolling through the Capitol and taking selfies after the cops opened the doors on Jan. 6, 2021, and there’s justice if you’re a member of the leftist elite, which means that you can essentially do anything you want, and little or nothing will happen to you. Sam Brinton, the gender-fluid, in-your-face, cross-dressing, puppy-playing former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy in the Department of Energy, is a member of that elite group, and so despite facing numerous
Joe Biden, or whoever tweets for him while he's on one of his many vacations, has sent out his new year's greetings to the public, patting himself on the back: (X) To read that, you'd think he lived on another planet.
With inflation still hitting Americans in the pocketbooks, the border wide open, and crime and corruption hitting levels not seen since the 1990s, it's surreal to read that. He names a bric-a-brac of tiny "accomplishments" which affect very small interest groups as if they are grand Roosevelt-like changes, supposedly for the better as government grows bigger and more powerful and the returns fall, and then tries to claim

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just stunned viewers on national television by admitting that she thinks states should decide who’s allowed to run for president of the United States.
This would give states like California the ability to drop former President Trump from the ballot if she got her way. Many feel her actions aren’t about protecting “democracy” but about pure, unadulterated power.
Pelosi told CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday that although “martyr” Donald Trump could be the beneficiary from the “raw politics” of being removed from state presidential ballots, it’s the “kitchen table issues” that are important to American voters.

Be the Funniest Anti-Israel Freakout You'll

We've seen a lot of anti-Israel freakouts at this point. I think it's safe to say these activists live in their own world, one that doesn't have a lot to do with reality. They think that everyone should bend the knee to them and accede to all their demands however unworkable or bad those demands might be. If they scream loud enough, they think they can succeed by bullying people.
We've seen things from the crazy or concerning to the dangerous.
But I have to say, this new video I just saw is pretty funny. Think anti-Israel Karen, and then you get where this video is going.
Joe Biden on Friday delivered yet another divisive and angry speech on ‘saving democracy’ near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
Dr. Jill had to escort Joe Biden on the stage.Biden attacked Trump and Trump supporters in his speech.“Whether democracy is still America’s sacred cause is what the 2024 election is all about,” angry Joe Biden shouted. “The choice is clear. Donald Trump’s campaign is about him, not America, not you. Donald Trump’s campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future.
Black Chicagoans are increasing their calls to “turn Chicago red” in the coming elections in response to the growing border crisis that has flooded their neighborhoods with illegal aliens at the behest of “welcoming” Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Windy City residents Cata Truss and Mark Carter appeared on Fox & Friends First on Jan. 5 with the vow to vote for Republicans in 2024 after the massive failure of Mayor Johnson and the Chicago City Council to deal with the influx of illegal immigrants.
“The Democratic Party has always neglected to pay attention to the Black community,” Truss told Fox News host Todd Piro. “That is traditional, and because we have been
Texas Governor Greg Abbott appears set for a huge victory on the border crisis, as President Joe Biden and Washington Democrats look likely to cave on Republican demands for a crackdown on migrants.
The Republican posted to X on Tuesday, announcing the success of his program to bus illegal migrants to Democrat-led cities.
He said his initiative has amounted to the transfer of nearly 100,000 migrants to cities such as New York, Boston, Denver, and Chicago - where leaders are being forced to find accommodation for them.Those Democrat-led areas bill themselves as 'sanctuary cities' that welcome migrants.

leader at NYC Baptist church over gender: suit 23 replies
A veteran pastor at Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church was rejected in her bid to succeed longtime leader Rev. Calvin O. Butts III because the famed house of worship would “never hire a woman” for the job, she claims in a lawsuit.
Eboni Marshall Turman insisted she was the “strongest applicant” to replace Butts, who died of cancer in 2022 at age 73. (snip) Turman claims Grant grilled her “on topics that her male co-applicants were not asked,” and that Grant and another committee member said Abyssinian would have a female pastor “over [their] dead body,” according to the legal filing.

Computer Servers Stolen Hours Before Document Dump 23 replies
Epstein fixer Michael Sitrick told Los Angeles Magazine thieves broke into his Brentwood office over the New Year’s holiday and stole his computer servers just hours before a tranche of Epstein documents were unsealed and released to the public.
Judge Loretta Preska on Wednesday unsealed the first cache of documents from lawsuits related to Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse which potentially included names of over 150 people.
The first set of documents detailed Ghislaine Maxwell’s recruiting techniques, Prince Andrew’s abuse of the trafficked victims, and Bill Clinton’s fondness for “young” girls.
Presidential candidate Nikki Haley attempted to clean up her flubbed Civil War comments by mentioning she had 'black friends growing up' following backlash.
The 2024 hopeful faced a barrage of criticism and hate comments last month for answering a question at a New Hampshire town hall on what the Civil War was about without once mentioning slavery.
She has since walked back her response, saying 'of course' the war was about slavery and suggested that the question was poised by a Democrat 'plant' trying to get the media to attack her.

Capitol Police Lt. Made False Radio Report: Lawsuit 22 replies
Within a minute after firing the fatal bullet that struck Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd broadcast a radio report claiming shots were being fired at him in the Speaker’s Lobby and he was “prepared to fire back,” a federal lawsuit alleges.
The previously undisclosed radio dispatch is also contained on an audio recording obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times of the “OPS2” dispatch channel used by Capitol Police on Jan. 6.
Information on the recording is contained in a federal lawsuit filed on Jan. 5 by Ms. Babbitt’s widower,
CNN political commentator Paul Begala said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he hoped the Supreme Court would let former President Donald Trump on all the state ballots.
The Supreme Court announced it would hear arguments on whether Trump’s name can appear on primary-election ballots in Maine and Colorado, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Begala said, “I think in his heart of hearts, I hate to read Joe Biden’s heart, but he wants Trump on the ballot. He feels like I beat him once. I’ll beat him again. Um, but more than that, I think Scott is right. As a political matter, a politician. Trump is a political problem.

Washington— Members of far-right extremist groups. Former police officers. An Olympic gold medalist swimmer. And active duty U.S. Marines.
They are among the hundreds of people who have been convicted in the massive prosecution of the Jan 6, 2021, riot in the three years since the stunned nation watched the U.S. Capitol attack unfold on live TV.
Washington’s federal courthouse remains flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings stemming from what has become the largest criminal investigation in American history. And the hunt for suspects is far from over.
President Joe Biden kicked off his reelection campaign on Friday near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, with recycled attack lines against Donald Trump that he had previously used in the 2020 presidential campaign. (Video) Biden claimed — as if it were a fact — that Trump had called fallen soldiers (Biden called them “dead soldiers”) “suckers” and “losers,” an unsubstantiated accusation by unnamed sources that was refuted at the time by more than a dozen people who went on the record, including some who opposed Trump.
