Here's Another Way California Just Found
to Make Life Hell

Call me old-fashioned, but I've always believed that the government's job was to provide basic services like roads and infrastructure and otherwise stay out of the way so people could make their lives better. At the very least, I figured it was the government's job to not make things worse. That's exactly why I left San Francisco 30 years ago when, as I liked to joke, the state had made it impossible even to take a leak without first filing a CalEPA environmental impact statement. In triplicate, of course. And with a hefty filing fee. On January 1, life in San Francisco will get that much worse

Huge Deal - and Hundreds of Thousands

Boy howdy, isn't it nice to see some real leadership again? Granted, President-elect (I'd argue "Acting President") Trump isn't yet seated at the Resolute Desk, but he's pretty much doing the job. On Monday morning, at Mar-a-Lago (otherwise known as the Southern White House), the President-elect held a free-wheeling presser, and one of the high points of that event was the announcement of a $100 billion investment by the Japanese technology firm SoftBank - expected to create 100,000 American jobs. [Tweet, video]
In one humorous exchange, the CEO of SoftBank admitted the possibility of doubling the investment amount,
Despite the best efforts of legacy media to portray President-elect Donald Trump as "literally Hitler," the true character of the man can often be found in his more private moments at Mar-a-Lago, AKA "the southern White House."
Such was the case this past weekend when the Trumps welcomed the widow of the late Shinzo Abe, former prime minister of Japan, to Mar-a-Lago. Melania Trump tweeted out a picture from the occasion: [Tweet]
Few other details of the dinner have emerged, but what is coming to light is the fact that Donald Trump has kept in regular contact with the Mrs. Abe since the 2022 assassination of her husband.
I don't think it's a surprise that folks in Washington, D.C., tend to be liberal.
So it probably wouldn't be surprising to have people who might not be fans of the Department of Government Efficiency just because of its connection to the Trump administration.
But when Fox interviewed folks about government spending, the exchanges were hilarious when they found out just how our money was being spent. [Tweet, video]
They thought the government spent too much money, one saying, "By definition."
But then, when Fox asked about some of the crazy things that the government spent money on, they were stunned at how ridiculous the expenditures were.
Lame-duck President Joe Biden took the stage at the Democratic Party’s holiday party Sunday evening, reflecting on his time in office and touting his supposed international achievements. Unsurprisingly, his speech was packed with the usual dose of delusion.
Of course, before Biden spoke, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, First Lady Jill Biden, and Vice President Harris all spoke briefly. I wonder how hard it was for them all to offer kind words to each other.
But Joe Biden really delivered a masterclass of delusion.
If you were expecting humility or even an honest assessment of the state of the country, you haven’t been paying attention to this presidency.

Failed Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) is trying to gain sympathy after a devastating loss by crying about the struggles of managing bills and responsibilities he faces as the country’s “poorest” vice president candidate that Americans face daily. Walz shed light on how it felt to be the least richest person to run alongside a presidential candidate despite making over $100,000 annually, while most Americans bring in far less than that.
During an interview, Walz said he thought it was a “flex” that he had to “pay bills” like all Americans and appeal to voters because he is “poor.”
Just three “squad” members showed up to the farewells of ousted members who lost their Democratic primaries this year, Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-MO). The two Democrats delivered their outgoing speeches to an empty congressional floor with only fellow squad members Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) being present. [Tweet]
Bowman’s progressive stance on issues is said to be the culprit for his devastating loss. The person who pulled the fire alarm to stall a vote earlier this year has become so unpopular that AOC canceled an appearance she had planned with him on Elected Day.

A "Massachusetts woman on Biden’s clemency list was sentenced for ‘lethal’ fentanyl trafficking conspiracy," according to the Boston Herald. She led a "large-scale criminal enterprise that reaped hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits and caused untold misery."
"Former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell stole $53 million from the little town, a crime so notorious that a documentary was made -- highlighting that she perpetrated the largest case of municipal fraud in American history," reports Politico.
Perhaps most incredibly, the "Cash for Kids" judge in Pennsylvania who wrongly sent dozens of minors to a for-profit prison and got kickbacks for it, was released without any examination of the facts of his case.
You've got to hand it to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. Their inventiveness and outright fraudulent methods of calculating the number of deaths during the war between Hamas and Israel are deserving of some kind of international recognition.
Sorry, they are already getting plenty of press. Their bogus numbers are reported in the world's leading media outlets as the gospel truth. A few discerning media sources add the note that the ministry is run by Hamas, and even fewer report that the numbers do not differentiate between civilian and military casualties.
The 44,000 dead Palestinians reported by the Gaza Health Ministry is pure, unadulterated propaganda.
During the Christmas season, we focus on the birth of Jesus. Our Christmas carols and Nativity sets put the birth of Baby Jesus at the center of the celebration. It’s great to celebrate His birth because of all the theological implications that go along with it, not to mention the miracle of how He came to earth and flipped the dynamics of this world by arriving in the form of a baby born to lowly parents.
But we can’t forget why Jesus came to earth. He was God incarnate, one person in the Trinity, fully human, yet fully God. He set an example for us, healed people, cast out demons,

A drunk driver who admitted to crashing into and killing a bride on her wedding night has asked a judge to reduce her sentence.
Jamie Lee Komoroski was ordered to spend 25 years behind bars after pleading guilty to causing the death of newlywed Samantha Miller.
Komoroski, 27, plowed into Miller, 34, and her new husband Aric Hutchinson, 37, while the couple were riding on a golf cart following their wedding reception.
At her sentencing, Komoroski said she was 'devastated, deeply ashamed and terribly sorry' for her actions, which also left Hutchinson seriously injured.
She was given 25 years for a reckless homicide charge, 15 years for two DUI involving great bodily injury charges

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a bureaucracy created out of thin air by socialist Elizabeth Warren. Democrats pretend the bureau is just there to protect consumers which is B.S. Their budget is not controlled by Congress or anyone. They are funded by the Federal Reserve, which is losing hundreds of billions per year. Most of what they do is protecting their own jobs, and they are very highly paid people. The bureau is just another layer of regulators to whom private businesses have to cater.

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering privatizing the United States Postal Service (USPS), according to a report from the Washington Post.
Three people with knowledge of the matter told the outlet that Trump had been talking with Howard Lutnick, who Trump picked to serve as the Commerce Secretary, about carrying out an “overhaul” of the U.S. Postal Service.
While Trump’s plans regarding how he plans to overhaul the Postal Service were not “immediately clear,” one of the sources told the outlet that Trump had met with “a group of transition officials” and had requested their input on “privatizing the agency.”
The White House ordered the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a federal regulatory agency, to expand its use of "Indigenous Knowledge" on Monday, as part of a last-minute push in the federal government to embrace what scientists call pseudoscience. (snip) "Indigenous Knowledge" is a discredited belief system positing that native-born peoples possess an innate understanding of how the universe works. While scientists have referred to its ideas as "dangerous" and a rejection of the scientific method, those criticisms have not stopped the Biden administration from ordering the federal government to consider "Indigenous Knowledge" when implementing rules and regulations.
Judge Juan Merchan on Monday upheld the 34 felony convictions against President Trump despite the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling.
In April, Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts after he was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”
Well, this is interesting. Justin Trudeau is reportedly considering resigning as Prime Minister of Canada, according to sources cited by CTV News. This development comes on the heels of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s announcement that she plans to step down from cabinet, as PJ Media's Chris Queen reported earlier on Monday.
"In an explosive resignation letter published Monday morning, Freeland ignited a storm of confusion and speculation on Parliament Hill the same day she was set to table her fall economic statement—a document that typically includes key economic metrics such as the size of Canada's deficit," CTV reported. "Leaders from the Conservative party and the Bloc Quebecois have demanded an election.
The US Homeland Security secretary has said states need the power to shoot down drones following criticisms of the government’s response to sightings across the East Coast. Alejandro Mayorkas made the comments after state officials in New York and New Jersey said that Joe Biden’s administration had failed to get a grip on the issue. [Snip] State and local law enforcement agencies do not have the power to counter drone technology. Only a select number of agencies under the Department of Homeland Security, such as the US Secret Service, are authorized to take action.
Liberal ESPN host Stephen A. Smith highlighted the “bombshell” DOJ report during a podcast episode Sunday and ripped the Democrats for lying about January 6 and smearing anybody who suggested the FBI was involved as a “conspiracy theorist.”
“You know what I’m getting really p***** off about? I’m getting really ticked off that every time they open their mouth about something pertaining to y’all, they seem right!” Smith said of conservative commentators who he realized have been right all along.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Inspector General David Horowitz released his much-anticipated January 6 report on Thursday. In the IG report released last week, the DOJ admits to 26 “confidential human sources”
President-elect Donald Trump fought the establishment media and won during his 2024 campaign. Now his return to the White House draws closer and already legacy journalists are fearful given his combative nature and refusal to be intimidated, a report Monday details.
In a closely-watched case settled over the weekend, ABC settled a defamation lawsuit brought by Trump over a false statement made by George Stephanopoulos by agreeing to pay $15 million toward Trump’s presidential library, as Breitbart News reported. Trump claimed his “reputation was besmirched” by Stephanopoulos claiming during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) that two juries had found Trump

During a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Kellyanne Conway, former senior advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, was asked what she thought a second Trump term would look like, why Trump won, and why more women didn't turn out to support Vice President Kamala Harris.
I found Conway's explanation of why Harris lost to be the most interesting part of the interview.
The interviewer asked:
"Why wasn't there this wave of women voters for Kamala Harris that a lot of people thought would emerge and basically save the day for her?"

Citizenship to the Children of Illegal Immigrants 18 replies
Dozens of media outlets are reporting in unison that Donald Trump cannot stop the U.S. government from awarding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants. They claim this is the case because the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires it.
In reality, the legislative history of the 14th Amendment is clear that it only grants birthright citizenship to the children of people who are legally and permanently living in the United States. This does not apply to the children of illegal immigrants, temporary residents, visitors, or tourists.
The ERA was once the great white hope of feminists. Now the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is the great hope of those who want to eliminate the ladies’ room, women’s sports, and women.
A coalition of more than 100 lawmakers wrote a letter on Sunday urging President Biden to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which would outlaw gender discrimination in the Constitution.
“We must continue our efforts to fully affirm and recognize the equality of rights for all people, regardless of sex, as part of our Constitution, a vital effort that has never been more urgent,” Congress members penned.
“People”. Not women. Which people do they mean? Men in dresses.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) is contending people “can’t complain” about President-elect Donald Trump‘s Cabinet picks given Trump signaled he would make such picks before he was elected.
Romney, a longtime critic of the president-elect, is leaving the Senate in January, after one term representing Utah. He said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday that since Trump won the election “overwhelmingly,” he should be given a chance to enact the policies he desires. “Donald Trump won. He won overwhelmingly. He said what he was going to do, and that’s what he’s doing."

James O’Keefe dropped an undercover video on Monday in which one of President Joe Biden's National Security Council advisors explains that the cognitively declining president is far worse off than the public knows.The video should not be shocking — given the countless number of times we've seen Biden's brain malfunction, the confused president shake hands with the air or wander around aimless on a stage after he finishes speaking, and other clear signs that his dementia is rapidly progressing — but it is.
National Security Council (NSC) advisor Henry Appel spoke frankly about the current state of Biden's deteriorating state, unaware that he was being filmed.
