Excerpt:

President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, is suing the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a bid to quash a subpoena for his testimony and phone records.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the federal district court for Fort Myers, Fla., one day before Flynn was scheduled to appear before the committee to testify.

In the 42-page filing, Flynn alleged the committee’s request was an “outrageous intrusion” that risked violating his First, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights.

“The subpoena demands records of General Flynn’s communications about the 2020 election, and seeks to identify the basis for his beliefs and the persons with whom he associated, in addition to contacts with government officials. It thus constitutes a frontal assault on his 1st Amendment rights to freedom of speech, association, and petition,” the suit reads.

“Without intervention by this Court, General Flynn faces the harm of being irreparably and illegally coerced to produce information and testimony in violation of the law and his constitutional rights,” it continues. “He will also be illegally and irreparably harmed by the Select Committee’s unlawful and secret seizure of his and his family’s personal information from their telecommunications and/or electronic mail service providers.”

Manchin Bashes BBB and the DNC Brings Pitchforks to Meet Him

Freedomist Editor December 20, 2021

Joe Manchin’s decision to fell Biden’s Build Back Better Plan has led the MSM into war mode as they seek to assist the DNC in making Manchin pay for his treason to the party, which, to the DNC, is everything. Here is how the MSM on the left and the right are reporting on the news that Manchin is nixing the BBB as well as the stories now following Manchin since he made this announcement. White House issues blistering statement after Manchin, on Fox, says he’s a ‘no’ on BBB From www.dailykos.com 2021-12-20 14:02:21 Hunter Excerpt:

In a move that has the Biden White House coming very, very close to labeling him a liar, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin appeared on Fox News today to give what appeared to be a final shooting-down of Joe Biden’s ambitious domestic agenda, known as “Build Back Better.” “I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there. This is a no,” Manchin told Fox.
Manchin’s new stance appears to have taken the White House by complete surprise. They quickly released a scathing statement calling Manchin out. “Senator Manchin’s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances,” writes Press Secretary Jen Psaki. “Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged…

There’s an old Appalachian Christmas tradition in which children throw their wish lists into a fireplace in hopes fairies will bring the embers to Santa Claus. President Joe Biden may want to consider giving it a try after Senator Joe Manchin’s Sunday morning announcement that he’s gifting the White House a lump of West Virginia coal for Christmas: a “no” vote on the multitrillion-dollar “Build Back Better” plan. Not a year into his presidency, Biden’s domestic agenda is dead.

Manchin told Fox News, where he broke the news, that he “tried everything humanly possible” to get to “yes” on the legislation, but Biden wouldn’t take his eminently reasonable advice to spend less money at a time of skyrocketing inflation. The White House released an obnoxious, and obnoxiously long, statement shortly after Manchin’s Fox appearance, accusing him of reneging on his word. Such a temper tantrum is not what one expects with the self-proclaimed adults in charge.

Go ahead, Jen Psaki. Put out a furious, Biden-approved statement, accusing Joe Manchin of failing to “honor his prior commitments,” of breaking his “promise,” of—not to put too fine a point on it—lying. Bernie Sanders: enjoy your moment of accusing Manchin of not having the “guts” to stand up to powerful special interests. And Ilhan Omar, bask in the rosy glow of calling Manchin’s reasons for opposing Build Back Better “bull—-.” The three of you, and the other Democrats who are lashing out at Manchin, see how you enjoy life with Mitch McConnell back in the Senate Majority-Leader saddle. That was Joe Scarborough’s warning to Democrats on Monday’s Morning Joe:
“I’m sure they were angry, I’m sure they felt betrayed. I’m sure they’re completely exasperated with trying to nail him down…I was taken by those attacks, and attacks by other Democrats, which seem to invite Joe Manchin to become a Republican.”

Read Full Article STUDY: Four Times the Nets BURIED Unhinged Leftists Bullying Manchin (and Sinema) From www.newsbusters.org 2021-12-20 10:00:00 Scott Whitlock Excerpt:

Joe Manchin on Sunday likely doomed Joe Biden’s massive $2 trillion spending plan and the media reaction was predictably hyperbolic. There were audible gasps on ABC when the news that he would vote no broke. The New York Times on Monday’s front page accused him of “deserting” the President. Incendiary talk by liberal journalists has been amplified by real-world bullying of Manchin and his fellow moderate Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. So the question must be asked: Do journalists care about the safety of Manchin and Sinema? For the last few months, the two centrists have endured an escalating series of incidents in which leftist protesters follow them, yell in bathrooms, and show up at their homes. What has the response from ABC, CBS and NBC been? They’ve mostly buried the abuse. From October through November, MRC analysts looked at coverage (or lack of coverage) of bullying against Manchin and Sinema. Here’s what we found.

In a new letter to Senate colleagues, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) fingered Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) as a cause of “deep discontent and frustration” but promised to at least force senators to vote on the record for both reconciliation and voting rights. “This session has also led to moments of deep discontent and frustration,” he wrote. “That frustration was evident in the past week as nearly all of us were disappointed by the decision to delay floor consideration of the Build Back Better Act because Senator Manchin could not come to an agreement with the president.” “However, neither that delay, nor other recent pronouncements, will deter us from continuing to try to find a way forward,” he added. In a Sunday interview that rocked the political world, Manchin appeared on Fox News to announce his opposition to the current version of the reconciliation bill. Manchin cited his usual smorgasbord of factors that have…

Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.

We surely can badger and beat one person up. Surely we can get enough protestors to make that person uncomfortable enough that they’ll just say, ‘OK I’ll vote for anything,’” he said during a radio interview with West Virginia MetroNews’ Hoppy Kercheval. “Well, guess what? I’m from West Virginia. I’m not from where they’re from and they can just beat the living crap out of people and think they’ll be submissive, period,” Manchin added.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) may reportedly become an independent after the Biden administration on Sunday accused the senator of disloyalty.
Following Manchin’s vocal opposition to Biden’s $1.9 trillion Build Back Better bill, the White House accused Manchin of breaching “his commitments to the President.”

The accusation may result in Manchin becoming an independent, though he would still caucus with Democrats, Axios reported. Manchin is from West Virginia, a red state that Biden lost in 2020 by nearly 40 points. “I’m from West Virginia,” he said Monday. “I’m not from where they’re [Democrats] from, and they can just beat the living crap out of people and think they’ll be submissive, period.”
For months Joe Biden tried to work out a deal with Manchin to enact the spending package in the 50/50 split Senate. Manchin maintained throughout the negotiations he opposed major provisions in the package. In October, leaks indicated Manchin wanted to leave…

Gov.

The death toll rose to more than 200 following the strongest typhoon to batter the Philippines this year, with 52 people still missing and several central towns and provinces grappling with downed communications and power outages and pleading for food and water, officials said Monday.

At its strongest, the typhoon packed sustained winds of 195 kilometers (121 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 270 kph (168 mph) before it blew out Friday into the South China Sea.

Breakthrough infections greatly enhance immune response to variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a newly published study from Oregon Health & Science University.

The laboratory results, published online ahead of print in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), reveals that a breakthrough infection generates a robust immune response against the delta variant. Authors say the findings suggest the immune response is likely to be highly effective against other variants as the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to mutate.

“American” Students Want Professor Fired for Talking About Blackface

Paul Collier December 20, 2021

A College Professor from Lewis & Clark College dared to show students a film that had a blackface moment in it, that is, a moment when a white actor wore blackface. The professor, William Pritchard, showed the clip as a means to have a conversation about blackface and how society might come to terms with wrestling with freedom of expression versus the harm it might cause others.

The students now demand the professor be fired for even having the conversation in the first place. They certainly have become diehard members of the party, and that party is not American, for these students are not American students, but, rather, are more in keeping with the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party than a Bill of Rights people. This is how our University is continuing to assault our own nation-state, grooming seditionists against the very principles of American Liberty.

Students at Lewis & Clark College are calling for the dismissal of an English professor for alleged “inappropriate behaviors” and “harmful messages,” according to some of his students.

Earlier in the fall semester, William Pritchard, an associate professor of English, penned a two-page apology letter and read it out loud in class after showing a movie clip with blackface and facilitating a discussion on the subject that students perceived as defending blackface.

But the apology did not ease students’ concerns, as they have described it as performative and lacking sincerity, and they have since lodged more allegations against the scholar, who has worked at the Oregon-based college since 2003.

Students from three of his English courses have signed on to a 14-page letter arguing he should be terminated for “inadequate performance and repeated violation of duly adopted policies of the college.”

Teachers Call CPS on Parents Refusing to Make 12 Year Old Transgendered

Parker Davis December 20, 2021

Behind the parents’ backs, two militant social justice activist teachers in California are accused of pressuring a student to become transgendered and begin the process of becoming a transgendered person. The teachers at one point reported the parents to Child Protective Services for refusing to recognize their child as being transgendered. The child in this story is 12 years old. If you don’t believe this is child sexual predation, you might be part of the problem.

Last week, I blogged about a story out of Canada about how a father was arrested and jailed for refusing to accept the forced transitioning of his child orchestrated by the schools, hospitals and courts. You might think that this attitude of overriding parents wouldn’t exist in America. But you’d be wrong – teachers and school administrators hate parents just as much.

Here’s a story from the Tennessee Star:

Two teachers in a California school district are accused of coaching a student into coming out as transgender behind the backs of the student’s parents, according to video footage circulating on social media.

School staff reportedly changed the student’s name and pronouns and also called Child Protective Services (CPS) when the parents objected to the transition, according to a twitter thread by LibsofTikTok posted early Thursday morning, which included video of the parents addressing the school board of the Spreckels Union School District on Wednesday.

James recently said she would seek to question the former president under oath in January. Her investigation could only result in civil charges, not criminal.

Russia demands immediate talks with the United States on security guarantees from NATO, a senior diplomat said Monday, while President Vladimir Putin’s chief arms control negotiator warned of a “military response” if the alliance continues to step on Moscow’s “sore spots.”

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov spoke days after Moscow made public a list of demands that seek to limit the U.S.-led Western military bloc’s role in Ukraine and the former Soviet space.

“We need [answers] urgently since the situation is very serious and may get more complicated,” the state-run RIA Novosti news agency quoted Ryabkov as saying.

Konstantin Gavrilov, who heads Russia’s delegation on military security and arms control talks in Vienna, echoed Ryabkov’s earlier warning of military action from Moscow in response to what it views as NATO’s threatening activities.

“Everyone in NATO understands well that, despite all [its] strength and power, it needs to take concrete political actions,” Gavrilov said in a state television broadcast.

Boric defeated conservative candidate José Antonio Kast, who won the first round of presidential voting in November. Kast conceded on Sunday night. In the past month – during which Boric and Kast had the election to themselves after defeating a large slate of candidates in round one – rising numbers of violent attacks by leftists on Kast supporters and staffers had come to define the election.

“I have just spoken to [Gabriel Boric] and congratulated him for his great victory,” Kast wrote on Twitter on Sunday night. “From today on he is the president-elect of Chile and deserves all our respect and constructive collaboration. Chile is always first.”
