[SNIP] Conservative commentator and de-transitioner Oli London posted the video to his X account saying: 'Google launches WOKE Christmas campaign featuring man wearing women’s clothing complaining about his skin.'
Americans, our long national nightmare, the Biden presidency, is almost over. First, we must endure six more weeks of damage that President Joe Biden will inflict on the American people.Biden just gave Hunter, his son who was convicted on gun and tax evasion charges, an expansive 11-year pardon, after repeatedly promising he would not engage in such familial favoritism. Biden’s lies were so egregious that at a recent White House press briefing, CNN reporter MJ Lee asked a very pertinent question, “The next time that the president says he will or won’t do something, why should the American people believe him?”

San Diego County is set to introduce 'radical' new sanctuary laws to avoid cooperation with ICE and other federal immigration authorities.
The laws are seen as direct defiance toward Donald Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan, who has singled out San Diego for its massive illegal migrant problems amid plans of mass deportation.
However, the San Diego sheriff on Tuesday defied a new policy to limit cooperation.
San Diego County supervisors voted to prohibit its sheriff's department from working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the federal agency's enforcement of civil immigration laws, including those that allow for deportations.
A coalition of organizations representing faculty, staff, students and other advocacy groups at George Mason University and beyond is alleging that university police acted inappropriately in banning two pro-Palestinian student activists from campus and searching their family’s home. [SNIP] Authorities found four weapons unsecured in the home, along with more than 20 magazines with 30 bullets each, according to Laura Birnbaum, spokesperson for the Fairfax County commonwealth’s attorney. Also found were arm patches with Arabic text that was translated in court to read, “Kill them where they stand,” and other patches that call for death to Jews and America.
December is here, the election has been over for a month, Trump has picked out his cabinet and California is still counting the votes. And will go on counting them until the Dems win.
Considering Trump’s landslide victory, California had a difficult task ahead of it, but it has already managed to flip the seats held by Rep. Mike Garcia, Rep. Michelle Steel and just stole the seat held by Rep. John Duarte.
In Duarte’s 13th congressional district, California Dems have taken a month to count a little over 210,000 votes. That’s an impressive achievement considering that the proverbial Florida Man seems able to count the votes on Election night.
The Los Angeles Times could roll out an artificial intelligence-powered "bias meter" as soon as January, in the latest shakeup as the paper's owner tries to reshape the outlet.
LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong announced the upcoming AI feature on Wednesday. [SNIP] "Whether it be news or opinion — more likely the opinion or the voices — you have a bias meter so somebody could understand as they read it that the source of the article has some level of bias," Soon-Shiong, a billionaire tech entrepreneur and doctor who bought the Times in 2018, said Wednesday.
Iowa election officials sued the Biden administration after the federal government declined to hand over a list of noncitizens registered to vote in the state before the 2024 elections.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services officials refused to hand over a list of noncitizens illegally registered to vote in Iowa “despite having confirmed that hundreds of noncitizens were on Iowa’s voter rolls after a manual individualized process,” Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate and Attorney General Brenna Bird said in a lawsuit Tuesday. The complaint is filed against the Department of Homeland Security and its subagency, USCIS.
Aides of President Joe Biden are debating whether the outgoing Democratic president should issue preemptive pardons for figures President-elect Donald Trump has named as his political enemies.
Politico reported Wednesday that among those being discussed for blanket pardons are former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Biden - who has been busy dealing with the fallout from his decision to pardon his son Hunter over gun and tax crimes - hasn't been brought into the discussions yet, the outlet said.
White House officials fear that doling out pardons to people who haven't been charged with a crime could suggest impropriety.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg seeks an "active role" in shaping the incoming Trump administration's tech policies, despite his terse history of warring over censorship with the president-elect, and at one point, even suspending him from Facebook.
Given Trump's longstanding history of developing broad coalitions that include his former critics, his transition team's senior adviser Jason Miller insisted that aspect is integral to his governing style and will likely continue, but with the caveat that Trump "never forgets."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor likened the side effects of transgender medical procedures on minors to that of taking an over-the-counter painkiller during Wednesday's oral arguments in the U.S. v. Skrmetti case.
"Every medical treatment has a risk, even taking aspirin," Sotomayor said. "There's always going to be a percentage of the population under any medical treatment that's going to suffer a harm. So, the question in my mind is not, 'do policymakers decide whether one person's life is more valuable than the millions of others who get relief from this treatment?'"
The bodies were laid out in long rows, hundreds of them, mostly fighters but civilians too, in plywood boxes poking out from heaps of earth.
“It’s our culture to view this as a victory,” said Mahmoud, a police officer, standing by the grave of a relative and tracing the outline of the coffins with his finger. “But anyone who tells you that we won militarily … something has gone wrong in their head.” Like others in this story, Mahmoud spoke on the condition that he be identified by his first name, fearing retribution from Hezbollah.

When does Barack Obama ask Susan Rice to petition Joe Biden for a presidential pardon for himself? With the pardon frenzy buzzing around the Biden camp, a trial balloon for an Obama pardon has already begun drifting toward the Oval Office.
Biden will be well advised to limit his pardons to members of his own family. In his NBC News Meet the Press interview on Sunday, December 8, Trump explained that he had no intention of appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Joe Biden, despite Biden’s enthusiasm to raid Mar-a-Lago under the authority of Jack Smith, the special prosecutor the Biden administration appointed in an attempt to convict and incarcerate Trump
The Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General confirmed the presence of at least 26 FBI informants in Washington, DC, during the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol, but added that there was no evidence of undercover bureau agents there.
Of those informants, four entered the Capitol in the midst of the riot, 13 went into a restricted area and nine had not been engaged in illegal activity, according to a report from the inspector general released Thursday. “We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds

The Biden administration suggested that there may be no drones over New Jersey at all — as it sought to tamp down growing frustration over a lack of answers from the feds over sightings. “We have not been able to, and neither have state and local law enforcement authorities, been able to corroborate any of the reported visual sightings,” White House national security communications adviser John Kirby told reporters during a briefing Thursday.
“Upon review of available imagery, it appears many of the reports of sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully,” he added.

appeal of her Communion ban by Archbishop Cordileone 24 replies
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said she has appealed to Rome for a decision concerning San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone’s ban on her receiving the Holy Eucharist due to her public support for abortion. [Snip] A 2004 memo to the U.S. bishops from then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, states that “consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws” requires denial of Communion. [Snip] Pelosi has regularly displayed a lack of basic understanding about the concept of sin. For example, she called pro-life protections for innocent babies “sinful” and claimed that protecting unborn babies is “an assault” on women.

The good news first: As RedState has been reporting, Christopher Wray is on his way out as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). President-elect Donald Trump called it a "great day for America as it will end the Weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice" and promised his new administration "will now restore the rule of law for all Americans."
Trump also signaled his support for Kash Patel, his nominee to succeed Wray as FBI director.
"We want our FBI back, and that will now happen," Trump wrote, as he ended his post, adding: "I look forward to Kash Patel’s confirmation,

wall parts for auction ahead of Trump’s

The Biden administration is reportedly spending their final weeks quietly clearing away unused southern border wall materials to put up for auction — a move characterized by some lawmakers as an apparent ploy to sabotage President-elect Donald Trump’s goal to secure the US-Mexico border.
Alarming footage taken by a US Customs and Border Agent captured numerous flatbed trucks hauling away dismantled sections of the steel wall near Tucson, Arizona – a hotspot for illegal crossings – with the agent estimating a half-mile’s worth of parts are being removed daily, The Daily Wire reported.
“They are taking it from three sections: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,”

Kamala Harris looked inebriated again during a Christmas party at her residence at the Naval Observatory on Wednesday evening.
“I give you permission that if you are going to someone’s house who doesn’t know how to cook, bring your own dish!” Harris said cackling.
WATCH: (X Video) Kamala Harris went on a holiday party speaking circuit over the last week and she sure was looking and sounding rough.
Harris slurred her words as she encouraged a room full of Democrat activists and influencers to keep fighting last week.
The Evaporation of the Obama Mystique

Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Biden nomination—and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.
As such he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history.
Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Joe Biden lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.
Barack Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates, including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg.
The Obamas ignored or withheld from the public
MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed Thursday on “The ReidOut” that President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet is like the characters in the bar featured in the 1977 movie “Star Wars.”
During a discussion on Trump’s defense secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, Reid said, “The people you used to work for in the United States Senate, they also know that and yet, what you’re seeing is senators capitulating in advance and essentially saying, yes, sir, we’ll take a knee to you. Whatever you want, sir. Including this bizarre cabinet, like a Star Wars Cabinet. They are just conceding.”

It might have been a television show, but we could use FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully because drones have invaded New Jersey. Are they UFOs? We don’t know. It’s even more alarming that the FBI said this week on the Hill that they have no idea what’s going on above the skies of the Garden State. Leah had more: (X's) It’s been weeks since the first reports of unusual drone activity in New Jersey came in and Americans still don’t have any answers. From local law enforcement agencies to the feds, no one knows what’s going on—
Former stripper and convicted murderer Crystal Mangum admitted Thursday that she lied and “made up a story” that three Duke University lacrosse players raped her at a team party in 2006.
“They trusted me that I wouldn’t betray their trust, and I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong,” Magnum told the independent media outlet “Let’s Talk With Kat” at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women.
“[I] made up a story that wasn’t true.”
