Dear friends, family, admirers, and citizens of France and the world, We gather today in sorrow to bid farewell to Brigitte Bardot, affectionately known as B.B., an icon who illuminated the silver screen before she abandoned stardom for a path of unflinching principle. Born in 1934, she burst onto the scene as the epitome of beauty, sensuality, and rebellion in films like And God Created Woman (1956) and Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt (1963), becoming a global symbol of liberated femininity. Yet she walked away from Hollywood in 1973 to dedicate herself to causes greater than stardom—first to the voiceless animals (Snip)and later to the preservation of her beloved France itself.

Dear friends, family, admirers, and citizens of France and the world,
We gather today in sorrow to bid farewell to Brigitte Bardot, affectionately known as B.B., an icon who illuminated the silver screen before she abandoned stardom for a path of unflinching principle. Born in 1934, she burst onto the scene as the epitome of beauty, sensuality, and rebellion in films like And God Created Woman (1956) and Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt (1963), becoming a global symbol of liberated femininity. Yet she walked away from Hollywood in 1973 to dedicate herself to causes greater than stardom—first to the voiceless animals (Snip)and later to the preservation of her beloved France itself.

It was bad enough that ostensibly conservative political commentators Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens both have been the main drivers of a growing divide in the MAGA movement, through their obsession with demonizing Israel and the Jews. Now they have also become leading Western apologists for Islam.
Are they even conservative? Were they ever? (Owens in particular has never been committed to anything but her own grift.) Conservatives are defenders; we preserve. Our mission, in large part, is to defend and preserve the liberties our forefathers earned for us.(Snip) Progressives destroy; they are revolutionaries at heart, whose mission is to destroy the flawed status quo and pave the way
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, one of Washington’s top-ranking Republicans, says he is open to legal action against Minnesota’s Democrat leaders following the viral release of a video alleging fraud in state-funded day care centers.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Fox Report Weekend” on Sunday, Emmer praised YouTube content creator Nick Shirley’s recent report, which alleges that several state-funded day care and learning centers, largely operated by immigrants from Somalia, do not provide legitimate services.
(Snip) “Whistleblowers are coming forward,” said Emmer, who added that he would support the prosecution of Walz and Ellison if there was documented evidence of their retaliation against whistleblowers.
Since the announcement of Trump's plan, Hamas... has dismissed the idea of laying down its weapons. It has also made it clear that the role of any international force should be limited just to monitoring the implementation of the ceasefire with Israel. (Snip) These statements by Hamas and the other Palestinian terror groups show that they have no intention of honoring Trump's plan. (Snip) It is simply nonsensical to believe that any peace plan would end the terrorists' Jihad against Israel. Unfortunately, there is no alternative to a total defeat and eradication of Hamas and its allies.
Nick Shirley is an impressive young independent video journalist who at the age of about 27, is already pretty well known for his excellent coverage of Joe Biden's open borders, making a wonderful, watchable documentary of a day in the life of an illegal alien, housed in one of New York's hotels as well as other topics, such as flooding in North Carolina. (Snip)
Now he's outdone himself, taking his cell phone and a man named David he's working with, to record and expose massive Somali fraud in Minnesota. In one day -- yesterday -- he made this 42 minute video exposing a Somali racket in Minnesota here:

Imagine if you were a Marxist who hated New York City for its status as the de facto economic capital of the world’s foremost capitalist state, and yet you are clever and resourceful enough to capitalize upon the American left’s increasingly dominant and reflexive anti-Americanism and socialism to get yourself elected mayor of that very city. Would you pursue policies that would be destructive to the well-being of New Yorkers? Of course you would.
The ace firefighter whom Mamdani chose is one Lillian Bonsignore, but there’s just one catch: she has never actually been a firefighter. As a news report stated, “she’s confident that won’t matter.”
Christmas Eve With J.R.R. Tolkien

It's Christmas Eve, and kids around the world are waiting for the magical moment when Father Christmas, Santa Claus himself, shows up and leaves presents underneath the tree. There's a joy in that anticipation that cannot be described.
For British author J.R.R. Tolkien, professor and author, the magic of Christmas took form in the shape of illustrated stories and letters from Father Christmas, each complete with a North Pole stamp designed by Tolkien. The first North Pole stamp cost "two kisses" and was given to Tolkien's three-year-old son, John. The card inside featured a man in a red coat with the caption "Me" and the picture of a snow-covered, domed
The Islamic Republic of Iran is at war with the United States, and has been for a long time. Back in Nov. 2013, as negotiations continued toward what ultimately became Obama’s Iran nuke deal, Iranian political analyst Mohammad Sadeq Al-Hosseini said: “We are engaged in a fierce war with the Americans on all levels.” That war continues to this day, and the mullahs who rule the Islamic Republic have just opened a new front.
IranWire reported Friday that “the Islamic Republic has launched what it calls a ‘hybrid warfare headquarters,’” and that this is a major operation, as the staff consists of over 40,000 Islamic seminary students.
The Return of the Jewish Question

At the gut level, most of our politics can be reduced to a simple question: “Whose fault is it?” Conservatives and liberals blame one another, nationalists point the finger at globalists, and for the woke left, it’s always the fault of straight white men. In the fever swamps of the internet, an age-old answer is now growing in popularity: the Jews. Indeed, in the past year or so, it has become impossible not to notice the number of influencers—led by Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Candace Owens—who are aggressively pushing, with varying degrees of subtlety, what the kids call the “Jewish Question,” or JQ for short.
President Trump has made a hard turn toward his affordability agenda, which is good because people are always economically uncertain, and especially so after President Eggplant face-planted the economy. (Snip)Right now, it’s all about the 2026 midterms – we need the voters to understand that we hear them, that we have their backs, and that we are doing things to make their lives better. The big stuff is done. Trump got an early start on deregulation, the trade reforms and deals, the Big Beautiful Bill, and other large-scale initiatives, so next year things should really get kicking. All the indicators are up, but it’s important to get that message out.
There are psychopaths who are prepared to sacrifice thousands or even millions of lives to spread their own ideology and power or in pursuit of crazed ambitions that only serve them.
We have seen this before with Stalin, Hitler, Mao and others.
We see it now from Starmer, Macron, Von der Leyen and all the European, EU and British leaders pushing for war with Russia.
And no, this isn’t like them calling Trump Literally Hitler. The difference is that everything they pretend to fear about Trump (or Farage in the UK) isn’t real. But if we look at the classic fascist combination of militarism and total control, or corporate

Last week I wrote about the presentation, at Oslo City Hall, of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado of Venezuela, who has led a courageous struggle for freedom against her country’s monstrous dictator, Nicolás Maduro. (Snip)
On the previous evening, as it happens, another freedom fighter was also welcomed in Oslo. I am referring to Tommy Robinson, the 43-year-old Englishman who has long been his country’s most vocal critic of Islamic rape gangs and of the government officials who have covered them up. There was one important thing that the Nobel Prize ceremony and the Tommy Robinson event had in common. In a word: Trump.

A triumphant Zohran Mamdani took the oath of office to become the Big Apple’s mayor just moments into the New Year — kicking off an uncharted era with a proud socialist at the helm of the nation’s largest city.
The 34-year-old Queens state assemblyman was sworn in on a Quran as the city’s 112th mayor — and its second-youngest — by state Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday morning below City Hall Park in a grand, abandoned old subway stop with his wife, artist Rama Duwaji, by his side.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed for emergency relief to protect Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for the almost half a million Minnesotans who rely on the program to put food on the table, according to a news release from Ellison's office.
Jessica Tarlov, Fox News' resident liberal panelist on The Five, has demonstrated her lack of intelligence once again. When independent reporter Nick Shirley's explosive investigation into alleged fraud at Somali daycare centers in Minnesota came up for discussion, Tarlov questioned the scope of his findings while missing the point so spectacularly that I felt compelled to highlight it. (Snip)Tarlov actually questioned whether Shirley, working mainly on his own, could have genuinely uncovered the full scale of the alleged fraud. "Nick Shirley's reporting — there's no way that this kid walking around uncovered $100 million worth of fraud on his own,"
The U.S. Postal Service has updated its rules to clarify that postmarks may not match the date mail was deposited, a shift stemming from network overhauls that could complicate deadlines for tax filings, ballots, and legal documents.
The change, which became effective on December 24, adds a new section to the Domestic Mail Manual stating that “… while the presence of a postmark on a mailpiece confirms that the Postal Service was in possession of the mailpiece on the date of the postmark’s inscription, the postmark date does not inherently or necessarily align with the date on which the Postal Service first accepted possession of the mailpiece.”
Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead,” network medical analyst Jonathan Reiner said he was very concerned the public is not being told “anything meaningful” about President Donald Trump’s health issues.
Host Phil Mattingly said, “Just last month, you said you were seriously concerned about the president’s health. What’s your level of concern after hearing from the president? He says he’s in perfect health.”
Reiner said, “Well, I’m mostly concerned that the public really hasn’t been told essentially anything meaningful about the president’s health here. So let’s turn the clock back and look what’s gone on over the last nine months. The president had a physical exam, a comprehensive physical exam
The Washington state attorney general released a statement on X Tuesday evening warning independent journalists to sop investigating fraudulent Somali daycare centers or they could be charged with a hare crime. (snip) "Showing up on someone's porch, threatening, or harassing them isn't an investigation. Neither is filming minors who may be in the home. This is unsafe and potentially dangerous behavior. Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, issued a warning of her own in reaction to the Washington state AG's post.

Imagine waking up tomorrow to find your bank account empty. Every dollar you saved for your children’s tuition, your retirement, your security—gone. Now imagine looking out the window and seeing the thief driving a Porsche bought with your money, laughing as he waves a government-issued thank you note. This is not a hypothetical scenario. It is the reality of the American taxpayer in the wake of the single largest COVID-era fraud scheme in the nation’s history.

New Year's tradition of black-eyed peas
without warning 26 replies
For generations across the South, black-eyed peas have traditionally been served on New Year's Day. The dish is associated with a "mystical and mythical power to bring good luck" in the year ahead, according to writer John Egerton in his book "Southern Food: At Home, On the Road, In History." For years, Cracker Barrel served as a reliable last stop for displaced Southerners trying to uphold a New Year's Day tradition. If black-eyed peas weren't simmering at home, they could be ordered alongside cornbread and country sides.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani didn't back down from his campaign promises as he was inaugurated at City Hall on a blustery New Year's Day: He said he would tax the rich, make buses free, and deliver "abundance." (Snip) The new mayor didn't shirk from his socialist identity upon taking office, vowing to draw the city together by replacing "the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism." "We will govern without shame and insecurity, making no apology for what we believe. I was elected as a democratic socialist and I will govern as a democratic socialist. I will
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said it succinctly on Wednesday, commenting on the news that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani intended to be sworn in on the Qur’an: “The enemy is inside the gates.”
Newsmax reported Thursday that in saying this, Tuberville had “ignited a fresh political firestorm.” It was just over two weeks ago that he ignited the last one, writing that “Islam is not a religion. It's a cult. Islamists aren't here to assimilate. They're here to conquer. Stop worrying about offending the pearl clutchers. We've got to SEND THEM HOME NOW or we'll become the United Caliphate of America.”
According to Newsmax, Mamdani’s use of the Qur’an
On Thursday, Zohran Mamdani was inaugurated as the Mayor of New York City.
As we reported, his "block party" seemed to be a harbinger of things to come and a symbol of his failed radical leftist thought, with no bathrooms and no food. It was the first day, and already his administration was a big fail. The people are already finding out that he isn't going to be what they thought. Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) spoke before Mamdani. But she set the stage for the radical remarks, outlining some of his promises. “New York City has chosen the ambitious pursuit of universal childcare, affordable rents and housing, and clean
Democratic Virginia Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger has appointed a chief diversity officer who previously appeared to agree with comments about parts of the U.S. Constitution needing to be dismantled.
Spanberger announced the appointment of Dr. Sesha Joi Moon to serve as the Commonwealth of Virginia’s chief diversity officer and director of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) on Tuesday, saying in a statement that Moon’s “experience across government, education, and the nonprofit sectors gives her firsthand insight into the ways in which we can build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Virginia for every family.” However, during part of an August 2024 appearance on Raben’s “The Ask” podcast, Moon appeared to agree
