As the DNC Lied, Kamala Harris' Odds to
Win the Presidency Died According to Betting Site

'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. This quote by Mark Twain... or Abraham Lincoln — it's still unclear as to who said it — is not advice that Democrats thought to take, because the more they opened their mouths during the DNC, the more people seemed to sour on them. While it was always inevitable that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz would suffer what I call the "Disney dip" or what others are calling the "sugar high," it would appear the DNC sped the collapse. According to the website Polymath, the largest website that deals with betting

KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fired his top adviser Andriy Yermak on Friday amid a snowballing graft probe.
Yermak has been by the president’s side as the second-most powerful man in Kyiv for years and is a key interlocutor with Ukraine’s Western allies as it resists Russia’s full-scale invasion.
“I am grateful to Andriy for the fact that the Ukrainian position in the negotiation track has always been presented by him exactly as it should be. It has always been a patriotic position. But I want there to be no rumors and speculation,” Zelenskyy said.

From Third-World Countries - ‘You Won’t
Be Here for Long’ 17 replies
President Trump went on a fiery late-night tirade in clear response to the recent terrorist attack on the National Guard, announcing a significant crackdown on immigration from all third-world countries, terminating all illegal entries into the country under the Biden administration, and declaring the only way to save America now is through "reverse migration."
Trump's screed comes in the wake of an ambush attack on two members of the Guard in Washington, D.C., and just hours after the President made the heartbreaking announcement to the nation that one of the victims, 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, had succumbed to her injuries.
The individual behind the heinous attack was

DC, Trump announces 25 replies
Sarah Beckstrom, one of the national guard troops shot in Washington DC on Wednesday, has died, Donald Trump said on Thursday.
“Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we’re talking about, highly respected, young, magnificent person … She’s just passed away. She’s no longer with us,” Trump said in his first live remarks since the shooting.
Beckstrom, 20, was one of two members of the national guards shot near the White House in a targeted attack. The other member, Andrew Wolfe, 24, is still fighting for his life, according to the president.
The father of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, who was critically wounded in Wednesday's attack in Washington, D.C., said Thursday that his daughter is not expected to survive, The New York Times reported. “I’m holding her hand right now,” Gary Beckstrom told the newspaper about his 20-year-old daughter, a Specialist in the National Guard. “She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi previously spoke about Beckstrom in an interview with Fox News, without naming her, saying: "She volunteered to work on Thanksgiving—working today, as did many other guardsmen and women so that other people
TTrump administration has announced a plan to designate various subdivisions of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists, moves that enable our government to take criminal enforcement actions and seize assets. While it’s not a sweeping designation of the Brotherhood itself, which would be legally and diplomatically fraught, the announcement is a welcome development that conveys the right message about the organization.
The Muslim Brotherhood (Jama’at al-Ikhwan al Muslimun) is the most consequential Islamist movement in modern history. Since its founding in Cairo by Hassan al-Banna in the late 1920s, it has spawned a global network of organizations, including jihadist organizations — Hamas, most notoriously
It appears that there may be a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine in the works, which could bring an end to the Russo-Ukrainian War, which has been going on since 2022, when Russia invaded eastern Ukraine. This war could be said to have been ongoing, in fact, since Russia's annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and seizure of the port of Sevastopol in 2014.
Ukrainian officials are reporting that talks have been held between Ukrainian, Russian, and American officials, and the "core elements" of a peace deal have been agreed upon.
Ukraine has agreed to the core elements of a peace proposal brokered by the Trump administration, with some details

Question for the audience: If you asked Tucker Carlson if the United States of America should offer Israel an ironclad, open-and-shut, unequivocal war guarantee, how would he respond?
You have three options:
Option One: “Why, sure! What a wonderful idea! Israel is America’s ally. Hey, what’s the worst that could happen?”
Option Two: “Hmm, let me think about it and get back to you.”
Option Three: “Absolutely NOT, you anti-American, Israel-first, disloyal neocon! No more forever wars! No more AIPAC influence! No more Middle East entanglements! It’s not in our national interest, you warmonger! For the

to Addictive Drug, Bombshell Court Filing Shows 9 replies
Meta knowingly downplayed the addictive nature of social media products that its own researchers privately compared to drugs as part of a broader effort to conceal the impacts of its platforms on teenage mental health, according to an explosive new court filing.
The brief was filed as part of a years-old lawsuit brought by school districts across the country alleging that social media companies including Meta, YouTube, TikTok, and Snap knowingly designed products that would addict teenagers and otherwise harm their mental health. A judge ordered the 5,807 page filing to be declassified on October 30.
A temporary glitch on X led to a credibility bloodbath for a variety of foreign propaganda accounts that were either posing as Americans or lying about their locations in other ways.
Days prior, Head of Product Nikita Brier had announced a new feature revealing the origin and current location of users. When it rolled out, though, only account owners could view it. That all changed on Friday night, though. In what is assumed to have been a mistake, everyone's origins and current locations were made public for about an hour before disappearing.
For months, Donald Trump warned New Yorkers against electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor, referring to him as a “communist lunatic.” Mamdani, meanwhile, called Trump a “despot.”
All of that was put aside in an extraordinary Oval Office get-together Friday, the first face-to-face meeting between the two men.
Trump, who sought to kneecap Mamdani during the campaign, was exceedingly complimentary of the self-described democratic socialist, while Mamdani repeatedly talked up his hope that he and the president could work together to lower costs for New Yorkers.
“I met with a man who’s a very rational person,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office following the private
The U.N. climate talks COP30 were hastily evacuated Thursday night due to a fire breaking out inside the venue in Belém, Brazil.
Smoke, flames, and a rise in temperature engulfed the pavilion area as panicked attendees rushed outside to be met by fire crews entering the stricken zone.
Reuters reports security footage showed flames spreading rapidly up an internal fabric shell that lined the walls and ceiling of the building before being extinguished.
Thirteen people were treated for smoke inhalation at the venue, organizers said, as thousands of delegates were evacuated as security staff formed a human barrier across the hallway.
House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, contacted the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to request protection for four representatives who appeared in a video message encouraging military troops to defy orders from their superiors that they deem illegal.
Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), and Jason Crow (CO-6), along with Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), tried agitating some troops and intelligence officials into potentially illegal actions of their own by defying orders they personally interpret as unlawful. It was a startling effort. The message was clear. They laid it out quite clearly, referencing "this administration" and how it

FBI Director Kash Patel is facing withering criticism from an alliance of active-duty and retired agents and analysts, days after the White House denied media reports that the president is about to fire him.
A troubling new report card on the first six months of Patel’s leadership concludes he is “in over his head” and his deputy, Dan Bongino, is “something of a clown,” according to the alliance, which in two previous reports warned about crippling DEI and politicization of the FBI during the Biden administration.
The Patel-led FBI is described in the 115-page report as a “rudderless ship” and “all f–ked up.”
Patel is described by multiple internal sources as inexperienced,
When former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi moved to England a year ago they put the blame firmly on Donald Trump. The American TV star said she decided to settle in the Cotswolds the day after Mr Trump was re-elected President because life 'is just better' in the UK. (SNIP) A source said: 'Ellen was adamant that she and Portia were going to stay in the UK while Trump was in the White House, but evidently she's changed her mind somewhat. 'She's been telling friends they are coming home soon because they miss

The Afghan man accused of gunning down two National Guard members blocks from the White House last week had been unraveling for years, unable to hold a job and flipping between long, lightless stretches of isolation and taking sudden weeks-long cross-country drives. His behavior deteriorated so sharply that a community advocate reached out to a refugee organization for help, fearing he was becoming suicidal. Emails obtained by The Associated Press reveal mounting warnings about the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an asylum seeker whose erratic conduct raised alarms long before the attack that jolted the nation’s capital on the eve of Thanksgiving.
Ken Burns is giving a history of the American Revolution replete with leftist narratives unmoored from facts. In Episode 1, Burns erroneously claims that the driving force of the American Revolution was to steal Indian land. In Episode 2, the narrative is slavery and the evil colonists, including George Washington. After defaming George Washington, Burns adopts the canard that slavery was a cause of the American Revolution, and portrays slavery as an unchallenged colonial evil, ignoring the colonies’ abolitionist movement, a world first.
How bad is the Somali fraud scandal, in which the State of Minnesota allowed Somalis to rip off the system to the tune of $1 billion, some of them using the cash to bankroll Al Shabaab terrorism?
This bad: Minnesota's largely Democrat bureaucrats are publicly blaming Walz.
According to Fox News:
More than 400 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) accused Gov. Tim Walz of failing to act on widespread fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers.
The Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account, which says it consists of more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, wrote on X that Walz is "100% responsible for massive fraud
If they go by what the establishment media says, future ages will regard our lucky times as the days when veritable gods in human form walked among us, and lo, their names were Barack and Michelle Obama. The media is unstinting and unembarrassed in its fawning over the sainted couple, no matter how ludicrous its adulation gets.
These days, Michelle Obama seems determined to test the limits of that ludicrousness, and to push her media sycophants to ever-greater heights of feigned ecstasy at her endless victimhood posturing and mundane pronouncements dressed as wisdom. Her latest book, a heavy $50 coffee-table doorstop entitled The Look, is all about how she became

Two years ago, Pfizer anticipated that sales of its rebound-prone Covid-19 antiviral Paxlovid and fully approved Covid vaccine Comirnaty would plummet, but good news appeared on the horizon: The drugmaker's mRNA flu vaccine did well in phase 3 trials in ages 18-64, and Pfizer expected to release results from the 65-and-up cohort "later this year." The results are finally in: Compared to a standard flu shot, the mRNA vaccine was associated with six times as many adverse reactions as infections prevented in adults under 65, and outright failed in elderly people, associated with more deaths and both minor and serious injuries, from injection-site swelling to kidney problems.

"We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response.

Every time I hear about the tragedy (the tragedies) suffered by the Indians of North America (whether at Thanksgiving or at any other time), I bring up some variant of the following questions:
Do the calamities also include the theft of the lands of the Apaches? Does the genocide, real or alleged, of the Native Americans also concern the extermination of the Huron tribe (Huronia)?
This type of question usually boondoggles the leftist,…
The problem, of course, is that the lands of the Apaches were stolen by the Comanches.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek (D) threatened to investigate and prosecute federal agents who enforce the United States’ immigration laws in the state of Oregon.
In a video on Instagram, Kotek accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of carrying out “violent actions” and “stoking fear in the name of immigration enforcement.” Kotek also said the state would “investigate misconduct” and hold federal officers accountable.
“I believe as you do, in the rule of law and keeping our community safe,” Kotek said. “We also believe in being a welcoming place, where our immigrant and refugee community help our state thrive. The ongoing violent actions of the federal Department of Homeland Security are unacceptable

It wasn't a surprise when we learned about the latest testimony release from the House Oversight Committee; it felt more like the confirmation of what Americans had long sensed.Working inside the White House, staff understood that the man they placed before the camera couldn't lead the country, yet they said so privately while publicly denying it.
Writing at our sister site, Twitchy, Doug P. shared the testimony.The staff knew the presidency had become nothing more than a managed performance: They moved him, dressed him, staged him, guided him, and fed him lines.
Billboards are popping up outside Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune urging soldiers to disobey orders. “Marines: Not what you signed up for?” asks one. “Did You Go Airborne Just To Pull Security for ICE?” asks another one. The website urges soldiers to use encryption and offers ‘counselling’ on ‘disobeying immoral orders’. The organizations offering ‘counselling’ to soldiers include the National Lawyers Guild: a Communist organization which also defends Antifa.
The billboards are promoting a system that, in its own words, is “built to connect active duty, national guard, and reserve members of the military with key resources on responding to unlawful orders”. What that means is
