TOP STORIES
JOHNSON-LED HOUSE APPROVES SECTION 702 RENEWAL – Not only did the Mike Johnson-led GOP House approve the renewal of the controversial section 2 of the FISA Act, but they added to its powers. The renewal is part of the overall National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The compromise bill has already been approved by both the House and Senate, meaning only Biden’s signature prevents Section 702 from being renewed, with powers expanded.
IBM WANTS RACISTS TO RUN THEIR COMPANY – A video released by the O’Keefe Media Group catches the IBM CEO, Arvind Krishna, red-handed in a blatant act of race discrimination under the name of DEI. The video shows the racist CEO explaining to his underlings that failure to hire people in the designated protected classes, non-whites (which does NOT include Asians), non-heteronormatives, non cis-gender aligned people, will affect your bottom line.
The racist CEO said, “So we take underrepresented and gender. You got to move both forward by a percentage, that leads to a plus on your bonus… and by the way if you lose, you lose part of your bonus… “Asians are not an underrepresented minority in tech in America. However, others are. Ditto on gender diversity. I’m not going to finesse this, for blacks we should try to get towards 13 percent.”
BOSTON MAYOR HOLD NO-WHITES-ALLOWED CHRISTMAS PARTY – In the name of “anti-racism, Boston’s racist Mayor, Michelle Wu (D) accidently let white members of her administration know there was a Christmas Party that she was holding on government property, in open violation of numerous state and federal lies, for everyone but the whites.
Her response seemed to justify the overt racism by saying it’s not something new, so it’s ok. She stated “I’ve been a part of a group that gathers, representing elected officials of color across all different levels of government in Massachusetts. A group that has been in place for more than a decade, and the opportunity to create a space for people to celebrate and rotate who hosts.”
EUROPE-WIDE HAMAS TERROR PLOT THWARTED – Hamas attempted to orchestrate a Europe-wide terror assault that was broken up by authorities from Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark. According to Germany’s Federal Prosecutor, “One of the men, acting under orders from Hamas leaders in Lebanon, had in the spring begun searching for a cache of weapons the organization had clandestinely assembled in the past.”
NANOTECHNOLOGY PREPARES FOR ITS NEXT REVOLUTION – Researchers from Rice University are working on two new nanotechnology innovations that could create breakthroughs in optoelectronics, pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, communication, and quantum computing engineering. The two new innovations both involve the creation of wafer-scale synthetic chiral carbon nanotube (CNT) assemblies.

PANAMA CANAL DRYING UP, AFFECTING WORLD SHIPPING – As the Panama Canal continues to dry up, more and more ships too heavy to go through due to the lower water levels are being forced to add 32 more days and 10,000 more nautical miles to deliver their cargos to America or from America. The current situation has already caused shipping costs to increase, and that trend looks to continue until the current drought ends.
DISNEY’S WOKE EMPIRE UNDER THREAT FROM WITHIN – The Walt Disney Company’s commitment to continue to convert their family entertainment brand to far left activist agitprop has created economic disasters that provide opportunities for people from within the company to take the whole woke empire down. That resistance is coming in the form of the largest single holders of Disney stock, Trian Fund Management, held by Nelson Peltz.
That group is now demanding board seats, including one for Peltz, in what is seen as a clear takeover attempt by Pelz and other major shareholders. Trian’s official statement revealed, “As Disney’s largest active shareholder, we can no longer sit idly by as the incumbent directors and their hand-picked replacements stand in the way of necessary change… Disney is one of the most iconic companies in the world, with unrivaled scale, unparalleled customer loyalty, irreplaceable intellectual property, and enviable commercial flywheel. However, Disney has woefully underperformed its peers and its potential.”

FIRST ROUND OF TALKS OVER ESSEQUIBO BETWEEN GUYANA AND VENEZUELA HAPPENS – No real breakthrough was made in the first meeting between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Guyanese President Irfaan Ali.
“I am pleased that the community of Latin American and Caribbean states and Caricom have managed to take this step, and we will make the most of it so that our Latin America and the Caribbean remains a zone of peace,” Maduro said. Meanwhile Ali left the meeting still insisting the dispute should be resolved by the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands.
HOUTHIS CONTINUE ASSAULT ON MERCHANT SHIPS IN RED SEA – Efforts by Houthis to shut down trade going through the Red Sea continues with another missile strike from the Houthis targeting a merchant ship. This time the missile failed to hit its mark, according to the U.S, Department of Defense. An official stated, “A missile fired from territory controlled by the Houthis in Yemen missed a container ship traveling through the crucial Bab al-Mandeb Strait on Thursday.”

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)
WOKE MILITARY GETS FULL FUNDING – Congress has sent a House-Senate compromise bill authorizing spending for the next fiscal year’s defense budget. In the “compromise” Republicans were successfully in getting no concessions to roll back the anti-American, anti-human ideology of Woketarianism that is being injected into our military, crippling both its effectiveness and its loyalty to constitutional American values.
TRUMP TAKES 10-POINT LEAD IN RASMUSSEN POLL – For the first time this Presidential election season, Rasmussen has given Donald Trump a 48-38 lead over Joe Biden in a head-to-head matchup. In a multi-candidate race, Trump beats Biden 40-32.

DOJ PUSHED LOCAL COPS TO STALK AMERICANS THAT CHALLENGED WOKE SCHOOL BOARDS – The Department of Justice pressured local police departments to harass and threaten Americans who dared show up at a school board meeting and challenge the ideology of the rainbow cult. The DOJ was exposed through a memo recently uncovered from October 20, 2021 through a FOIA request by the watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust. Garland himself is the one behind the memo.
“[They] sent the memo to all the US Attorney’s offices across the country and ordered them to—it does say on the memo that its guidance on implementing the Attorney General’s memorandum—but there are required actions that…they are required to convene a meeting within the next few weeks,” said Michael Chamberlin, Director of Protecting the Public’s Trust.
MISSOURI LEGISLATURE PONDERS ANTI-CBDC BILLS – The Missouri legislature has two bills, one in the House and one in the Senate, that aim to protect Missouri citizens from the tyranny of Central Bank Digital Currencies. One bill is Senate Bill 826, introduced by Senator Andrew Koenig (R). The other bill is House Bill 1676, introduced by Representative Mark Matthiesen (R),

MOVE OVER SEMICONDUCTORS, ORBITRONICS WILL SOON REPLACE YOU – A new generation of electric storage could see the end of traditional semiconductor memory storage and the beginning of a new era of digital storage from “spintronics.” Assistant Professor Hiroki Hayashi from Keio University and colleagues published the results of an experiment that shows you can create orbitronic-based memory storage, which would multiply the amount of storage in physical space by 10 times or more.
MICE BRAINS MAPPED PRECISELY – Scientists from Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have created a perfect “atlas” of mouse brain, which could theoretically give geneticists more precise details on cells, their functions, and their particular locations. The research is hoped to lead to human brain discoveries that could lead to more effective treatment of a multitude of brain-related disorders.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
