 PJ Media: ... Kennedy kicked things off by highlighting an essay Keys wrote for the  New York Times  titled, “Climate Change Should Make You Rethink Homeownership.” Kennedy, in his signature deadpan style, asked, “Did you write that?” Keys confirmed he did. The Louisiana senator then went for the jugular. “Pretty bold,” Kennedy observed. “You own a home?”  “I do. In a flood zone,” Keys admitted. Kennedy’s response was priceless: “Have you sold it?”  Keys sheepishly admitted he had not, prompting Kennedy to drive the point home. “Oh, well, you’re telling everybody else to sell theirs.” Kennedy had just exposed him for the classic climate change alarmist hypocrite. Some of the biggest climate change alarmists are the ones who travel by private planes and live on the water despite their apocalyptic predictions of rising sea levels. Barack Obama comes to mind as a notorious example of this. In his guest essay, Keys wrote, “it’s time for some prospective buyers set ...

 National Review: Woman Sues Prison for Housing Her with Trans Child Molester Who Allegedly Sexually Assaulted Her I think she has a good case.  People who pretend to be another sex may have several reasons for doing so but it looks like some may do so to have the opportunity to act as predators. 

 DC Daily Journal: ... As the war in Ukraine continues, the American public’s support for prolonged U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts is becoming more complicated. While the Biden administration has remained firm in its commitment to Ukraine, there has been a noticeable shift in public opinion, with many Americans questioning the effectiveness and costs of continued support for proxy wars. Recent surveys indicate a growing reluctance among the U.S. populace to endorse foreign military engagements. A poll conducted by YouGov America in 2023 found that 57% of Americans believed the U.S. should not be involved in foreign wars unless directly threatened. Another survey by Gallup in 2024 revealed that only 35% of Americans thought the U.S. should continue to provide military support to Ukraine, down from a high of 47% the previous year. These trends prove a growing sentiment of war-weariness and skepticism regarding the U.S.’s role as the world’s primary military guarantor, especial...

  American Action News: ... NewsNation correspondent Keleigh Beeson asked Sanz if he believes that Trump’s strategy is “effective” for starting negotiations. “In some cases it is. And we have seen already, just over the past month or so, we have seen [Prime Minister] Justin Trudeau of Canada fly down to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Trump. He heard the message about the tariffs,” Sanz said. “He heard the barbs that were being traded among those in South Florida of ‘Governor Justin Trudeau.’ He heard the message and potentially knows that there could be a major economic impact on Canada if President-elect Trump really goes ahead and doubles down and sees through potentially a very high tariff.” “So world leaders in North America and really around the world are paying attention and again because President-elect Trump in the past has sometimes said one thing, done something else, sometimes the same thing, there is always an element of how far will he go? What will he do, wha...

 Blaze Media: Anti-police sentiment remains a major problem in America, several past and present members of law enforcement told Blaze News, despite waning support for the "defund the police" movement and the impending second term of President-elect Donald Trump, who has long been seen as a friend to law enforcement. While the number of officers killed in the line of duty has dipped in the last couple years, the number skyrocketed in the aftermath of the May 2020 death of George Floyd, the re-emergence of Black Lives Matter, and the calls from Democrats and activists across the country to defund police departments. According to the Officer Down Memorial Page , a police nonprofit, an alarming 722 officers died in connection with their professional responsibilities in 2020, though that number includes 285 officers who died from COVID-19. Thankfully, the total number of duty-related blue deaths dwindled to just 137 in 2024, the lowest number recorded at ODMP in the last 10 years...

@JonathanTurley ...Instead of showing Carter's honesty, Biden lied for years and then pardoned his own son after repeatedly denying that he would ever do so during the campaign. He pardoned his son for any crimes committed over a ten-year period, including potential crimes that many believe implicated the President himself in the multimillion influence-peddling operation... And: Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley · ...That record is precisely why "Some look at Jimmy Carter and see a man of a bygone era with honesty and character." They look at Biden himself and say "We'd all do well to try to be more like Jimmy Carter." Jimmy Carter was the last Democrat I voted for.  While he was a disappointment as president, he was a man of character.  That is not something that we can say about Biden.

 Town Hall  reports that the media is now talking about what should have been obvious from the get-go.  Biden wasn't all there.  While it is OK to deal with dementia with kindness, it is not OK to put these people in one of the most important jobs in the country.  What really happened is that the presidency was being run by unelected people propping up Biden.  Many in the media went along with the charade.

 Red State: ICE Ends Costly Programs Offering Services to Illegal Immigrants Over 'Budget Concerns' ICE should never been spending Federal funds on facilitating illegal immigration.  That is the opposite of their job. ... These changes come amid significant pressure to address an overwhelming caseload, as ICE’s non-detained docket now includes nearly 7.7 million individuals. While approximately 181,000 are monitored under the "Alternatives to Detention" program, the agency’s limited resources—only about 40,000 detention beds—have prompted closer scrutiny of its expenditures. ... It took the Trump election for the agency to come to its senses. 

Gabe Kaminsky: The Global Engagement Center, an office housed within the State Department and aiming to thwart disinformation and misinformation, has been forced by Congress to close up shop. It’s no mystery why; the taxpayer-backed GEC violated its mandate to work only overseas and devolved into a partisan enabler of speech suppression in the United States. Here’s how. Founded in 2016 and technically the product of an Obama-era executive order on counterterrorism, the GEC lapsed in December and lost congressional funding. Over the last two years, my investigative reporting in the Washington Examiner as well as that of Racket News journalist Matt Taibbi pulled back the curtain of the GEC’s ties to foreign and domestic NGOs trying to defund news outlets they say peddle disinformation – including RealClearPolitics. My reporting showed that the GEC and the State Department-funded National Endowment for Democracy combined granted almost $1 million to the British Global Disinformation I...

  Hugh Hewitt @hughhewitt Is it “decent” to have deceived the American public for years about your condition and to do so via a complicit and complacent legacy media? The greatest cover-up in modern American political history, and the greatest media scandal as well, is still unacknowledged on the record by anyone around President Biden and by almost all legacy media figures. Their sunk costs are enormous but they won’t cut them loose and own the cover-up or the complicity. If the @WSJ , me and others like  @bethanyshondark and  @jimgeraghty on today’s program, are wrong about the president’s infirmity, just have him sit for a single one hour or more interview with one semi-serious journo. Easiest thing in the world to prove is mental acuity. Until he has, put the references to decency in the pile marked “indecent invocations of decency.” Americans should be shocked and then angry at the cover-up and its devastating consequences which continue to roll out in Afghanistan,...
