TOP STORIES

ISRAEL KILLS ITS OWN HOSTAGES – Three hostages that appear to have escaped captivity from Hamas met a tragic end when Israeli soldiers mistook the hostages for Hamas attackers and killed all three. The tragedy happened in Gaza city. Netanyahu called the incident one of the “burdens of war” and that it “broke (his) heart, broke the entire nation’s heart.” GO DEEPER

AMERICA’S SUICIDAL TENDENCIES REACH RECORD HIGHS – America’s Suicide Rate has hit an 80-year high, continuing a trend that began in the start of the 21st century, but which has been escalating the last few years. The suicide rate among the young has gone down recently, however, with the suicide rates of 10-to-14-year-olds going down 18 percent and 15-to-24-year-old going down 9 percent. GO DEEPER

DOJ FUNDING SEDITIONIST SOROS-BACKED DAS – The seditious District Attorneys that have been intentionally sowing the seeds of chaos and disintegration by not prosecuting real crime while aggressively prosecuting political dissent from the DNC-CCP have been not only funded by the quisling George Soros, they’ve also been funded by the Department of Justice.

This claim was made by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who is calling on the GOP-led House to investigate DJ’s funding of Soros-funded groups that select and train their DAs to destroy the American republic.

VENEZUELA CALLING OFF GUYANA INVASION? – Venezuela’s bellicose rhetoric towards Guyana may have finally reached reality as the nation announces a commitment between Guyana and itself to not use force to settle the dispute over the region called Esequibo, which was recently discovered to have oil reserves just offshore.

DISNEY DEFENDS ITSELF FROM HOSTILE TAKEOVER USING “DIVERSITY” SHIELD – The Walt Disney Company is facing a hostile takeover threat from within as its largest shareholders have now moved to demand they get two seats on the Disney Board of Directors. Nelzon Peltz and his Trian group, with the backing of former Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, are hoping to fundamentally change Disney culture from within,

The current CEO, Bob Iger, represents their main opposition to that change. Disney responded to the threat by claiming it had a “diverse” board, as if being in a protected class (according to Disney’s anti-American, anti-human woketarian ideology) should protect you from the gross incompetence demonstrated by this board and CEO Bob Iger.

CHINA FOUND A NEW COVID VARIANT – The MSM may want you to be afraid of the latest news out of China that the CCP has detected a new variant of Covid-19 called JN.1, but so far there is no indication this variant is more lethal than the most innocuous variant of Covid-19 is today.

DNC-CCP SENATE AID FIRED AFTER SHOOTING GAY PORN IN SENATE HEARING ROOM – Highlighting the depravity of leftism, Aidan Maese-Czeropski, an aid to Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), felt entitled enough to film himself having gay sex in a U.S. Senate Hearing Room, which he posted online. His rainbow privilege, however, did not protect him this time as the Democrats were forced to fire him for PR purposes.

SPANISH PM DENIES ATTEMPTING TO MEET WITH CATALAN SEPARATISTS – Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez has denied claims he was setting up a meeting with Catalan’s leading secessionist leader Cales Puigdemont, even as parliament wrestles to pass an amnesty bill for the separatists to meet the promises made by Sanchez in order to form a coalition government in the first place.

AZERBAIJAN, ARMENIA MOVE TOWARDS PEACE TREATY – According to Turkey, the tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan could be defused with a looming peace treaty that is in the works. The claim came from Turkey’s foreign minister Hakan Fidan, who stated, “We believe that today, more than ever, such an opportunity to reach a peace agreement has become much more real, and it should no longer be avoided. We welcome the positive progress towards reaching a permanent peace agreement and defining the borders between Azerbaijan and Armenia.”

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)

GOP WANTS NON-WHITE PARTY? – The GOP has selected a person of color who happens to be a registered Democrat to be their flag bearer in a race to fill the seat vacated by corrupt politician George Santos.

This follow on the heels of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) telling Americans the Republican Party is too white and needs more people of color in it. If this selection to check a “diversity” check box rather than select an actual Republican who will represent the alleged values of the party doesn’t convince you the GOP is a lost cause, nothing will.

TRUMP  ACCUSES IMMIGRANTS OF “POISONING USA’S BLOOD” – Donald Trump made a speech recently in which he claimed the flooding of illegal immigrants into our country is “poisoning the blood of our country.” He added, “They (immigrants) poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world. They are coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

The context of the speech doesn’t do the former President any favors, as he used the phrase “poisoning our blood” more than once. While this writer does not believe Trump is an actual fascist, these remarks are disturbing nonetheless.

America is not a race, it is an idea, the idea being we mind our own business and have shared civic standards that allow us to share value with one another without having to like or approve of one another.

FINANCE (M & TH)

AFTER STRIKE ENDS, GM SACKS 1,300 WORKERS – After the negotiations came to an end and GM workers returned to work feeling victorious, 1,300 of those workers found a pink slip waiting for them after GM announced they would be laid off. The workers affected were from two Michigan auto factories.

HOUTHIS COULD SOON HURT WORLD TRADE – As attacks have continued, and even escalated, in the Red Sea against commercial vessel by Yemeni Houthi rebels, shipping companies are beginning to send their trade through different, longer routes to avoid the region altogether. This could see the rise in shipping costs and delays in shipping, which will affect the overall world markets in significant ways if the threat is not removed.

CULTURE (M & TH)

UNEXPLAINED DEATHS TAKING TOLL ON INSURANCE – U.S.  unexplained deaths continue to rise even after the plandemic has largely subsided, and life insurance companies are feeling the consequences. In 2021, Life insurers paid out a record number of claims, which has cut into its profits significantly.

Josh Stirling, founder of the Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives, said of the trend, “There’s no standard way to measure excess mortality. But if you use the data that seems most reliable it looks like, generally, we’re at 13.9 deaths per 100,000, which is up perhaps 7% from where it should have been. Is that catastrophic? Maybe not, but it should be lower.”

UNITED METHODISTS SPLIT OVER RAINBOW “CHRISTIANITY” – As the official policy of the United Methodist Church continues to lean away from the gospel and into Rainbow Xianity (which is no Christianity at all), a “Christianity” that affirms the sin of homosexuality, more and more churches are leaving the organization, with over 25 percent of churches, so far, leaving the church as it embraces the rainbow cult.

‘“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

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.”

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),

SCI-TECH (T-F)

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

TOP STORIES

HOUSE VOTES TO GO FORWARD WITH IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY – The U.S. House voted to begin the impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden with a partisan vote of 221-212. The vote means the official impeachment inquiry will begin, which will be followed up by a final vote on impeachment. A majority vote in favor of impeachment will move the proceeding over to the Senate where it is expected the Senate will not convict the Mass Mailer President, but Biden, like Trump, will have an impeachment on his record.

POST-EUTHANASIA CANADA SEES LIFE EXPECTANCY DROP…. AGAIN – After Canada voted to allow doctors to murder patients struggling with emotional problems, the life expectancy rate of Canada has dropped for the third year in a row. In 2019, life expectancy was 82.3 years. That figure is now down to 81.3 years, meaning a whole year of life, on average, was lost thanks, in large part to legalizing “assisted suicide,” which is an Orwellian term meaning “euthanasia.”

THE REAL INFLATION RATE IS MUCH WORSE THAN THE MSM TELLS YOU – CNBC’s Rick Santelli exposed the deception behind the latest inflation numbers, which the White House is citing as proof inflation is cooling off. Santelli looked at Raw Consumer Price Index, which shows that rate is currently at 307.05, which is down from the September rate of 307.78, a level not seen in over 100 years.

The difference between September and now is negligible, at best, meaning we are still at historic highs for the real inflation rate. It is compounded with the seasonally adjusted raw data set, which shows the number at an “all time high,” at 312.25 according to Santelli.

ISRAEL READY TO FIGHT ALONE TO DESTROY HAMAS, REJECTS TWO-STATE “SOLUTION” – The Israeli ambassador to the UK. Tzipi Hotovely, told the international community that Israel is committed to fight on alone should nations stop supporting their efforts. She also added that Israel would NOT accept a two-state solution after the war is over.

GAY IS A PLAGIARIST TOO – Harvard President Dr. Claudine Gray refused to condemn unconditionally calls for genocide against the Jews in Israel even as she has supported condemning speech that dares challenge homosexual legitimacy, abortion, or critical race theory. Now we can add another title to her besides racist and neo-Nazi, we can also call her a plagiarist, as was exposed by conservative activist Christopher Rufo, who revealed she had used other peoples’ uncited work as her own to get her doctorate.

TRENDING (M-F)

PRO-HAMAS TERRORISTS SHUT DOWN FREEWAY, TRAP KIDS IN SCHOOL BUSES – Pro-Hamas terrorists decided to shut down the 110 freeway outside Los Angeles in a move that seems to be aimed at scaring people to support Hamas if they want to function in their daily lives.

The 110 freeway was shut down when terrorists occupied the road, causing terror to children who were trapped in school buses until the terrorists were finally removed by the drivers who had enough of their assaults on American’s liberties. The violent action has yet to produce arrests.

FEDEX DRIVERS WARNED THEY MIGHT BE ROBBED – FedEx might play the woke game and side with leftists on an almost-predictable basis, but they’re not doing their leftist allies much good with a recent warning they issued to their drivers, saying “This Peak season is showing an increase in unlawful activity, putting increasing concern on safety and security.”

WORLD (M-F)

MADURO PAUSES ON GUYANA INVASION THREAT TO TALK TO EXXON MOBILE – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has paused his threat to invade Guyana over the disputed Essequibo Region while he seeks to engage in talks with Guyana’s President Mohamed Irfaan and Exxon Mobile, hoping for a deal that cuts Venezuela into the profits from the sale of oil being extracted from the region by Exxon mobile.

U.S. INTEL CLAIMS RUSSIA HAS LOST 87 PERCENT OF GROUND TROOPS IN UKRAINE WAR – The U.S. Intelligence Agency submitted a report to congress that alleges Russians have lost 315,000 to 360,000 troops that have fought in Ukraine so far, in addition to 2,200 of 3,500 tanks, and 4,400 of 13,600 infantry fighting vehicles. The totals amount to 87 percent of the forces that have fought in Ukraine so far.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)

SENATE GIVES MILITARY PAY RAISE; KEEPS WOKE DEFENSE IN PLACE – The U.S. Senate has passed a defense authorization bill, 87-13, that fails to rein in the woke cancer programs injected into the military by the seditious prog-state administration for the purpose of demoralizing America’s defenses against the world.

Not only did they keep the seditious, anti-American programs in place, they are giving soldiers an historic raise, one hardly worth giving if the military is being trained to hate more than half the citizens, as well as the ideals of the nation they are allegedly paid to protect.

PRO-LIFE GROUPS FIGHT BACK AGAINST NY LAW FORCING THEM TO ACCEPT ABORTIONISTS AS MEMBERS – The Fascist state of New York passed a state law, SB 660, that seeks to violate Americans’ rights to free association by forcing non-profit groups to accept members that are not aligned with the groups’ core beliefs and purpose, including forcing Christian Pro-Life groups to accept non-Christian, unborn-child-murder advocates into their fold.

Alliance for Defense of Freedom (ADF) is defending multiple groups against the far left, anti-American law. ADF Senior Counsel Caleb Dalton said of the case going forward (which he will be arguing) “Religious employers must be able to continue to hire like-minded individuals who share their core beliefs, and no government can force faith-based organizations to contradict those convictions. We are asking the 2nd Circuit to uphold the constitutionally protected freedoms of our clients as they fulfill their critical service to the community.”

FINANCE (M & TH)

FED KEEPS RATES IN PLACE AS IT PROMISES RATE CUTS IN 2024 – The Federal Reserve announced it will not be changing its key interest rate right now, though it promises 3 rate cutes for 2024 as it alleges inflation and the economy is finally cooling off.

DISNEY MOVIES FAILING HASBRO, WHO LAYS OFF 1100 WORKERS IN RESPONSE – As Disney has turned its family entertainment into far-left anti-American, anti-human ideological agitprop filled with hate, fear, and fake hope, American families have abandoned Disney, and that includes the toys that come from movies Disney produces, such as Marvel and Star Wars. Now, Hasbro, the toy maker for Disney, has announced plans to lay off 1100 workers as Disney’s toy market continues to collapse.

CULTURE (M & TH)

MOM DENIED ADOPTION DUE TO HER CHRISTIAN BELIEFS – Oregon’s violently anti-Christian law banning anyone from adopting children or fostering them who denies the “rightness” of homosexuality, transgenderism, and non-binaryism, is being challenged by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) organization in defense of an Oregon Christian woman, Jessica Bates.

She was denied a foster care application because she refused to conform to the rainbow death cult’s demands she would support mutilating children when they are indoctrinated by child groomers to believe they can change their sex based on how they feel.

OG MICKEY TO BECOME COPYRIGHT-FREE – Disney prepares for its iconic logo, Mickey Mouse, to be stripped of its copyright protections, at least the original version of Mickey, and he’s not the only icon to face the wilds of copyright free land. Tigger, Minnie, and other early versions of Disney characters are set to lose their copyright protections as well, even if they cannot be used to present the users of these icons as representing Disney in any way, shape, or form.

TOP STORIES

20 PERCENT OF 2020 MAIL-IN VOTERS ADMIT TO COMMITTING VOTER FRAUD – Mass mailer elections are no elections at all. In the 2020 Mass Mailer Election, more than 40 percent of the votes cast were through the mail. A new study reveals 20 percent of those who cast mail-in votes in 2020 admit to committing election fraud, meaning, by their own admission, up to 12 million votes were cast fraudulently.

This fact was revealed in a Heartland/Rasmussen poll that showed 17 percent of Mail-in voters voted in a state they no longer lived in, while 21 percent said they filled out a ballot for a friend or family member “with or without his or her permission.” GO DEEPER

HOUSE SPEAKER USES TRICK TO PROTECT FISA’S SECTION 702 RENEWAL FROM REFORM – The new House Speaker, Mike Johnson (R-AR), the same as the last House Speaker, is doing what he can to pass the fundamentally unconstitutional  renewal of Section 702 of the FISA Act, the section that allows for a star chamber to convict without trial and spy on Americans without a search warrant.

The plan is to present two competing bills to the House and approve the one that gets the most votes in a tactic called “The Queen of the Hill.” Neither bill ends the unconstitutional practice. If anything, both bills end up expanding powers, under Johnson’s watch. The strategy protects the renewal from any amendments watering it down. GO DEEPER

CHINA CAN KILL U.S. CARRIERS NOW – China now possesses the technological capacity to destroy U.S. Aircraft Carriers, the center of America’s worldwide power. They can do so with two missiles, the DF-21D and the DF-26B.

The new reality is this, without nuclear missiles, the U.S. Navy is now vulnerable to being overrun by China, and yet American corporatists and the DNC-CCP continue to support the CCP in word and deed even in the face of such an existential threat to America’s security and sovereignty that China now represents. Sedition, thy name is corporate America and the DNC (and the GOP that protects the DNC from any meaningful opposition).

IS THE MYANMAR JUNTA ON ITS LAST LEGS? – Efforts by the Myanmar Junta to hold on to power after illegally seizing control of the country in response to a 2021 election that didn’t go their way appear to be slipping away as the coalition of ethnic groups rejecting the Junta’s rule take over more and more territory as the junta runs out of men to even serve in their military.

A recent message from one of the country’s resistance leaders, Duwa Lashi La, reveals (in a Zoom interview with VOA) the groups are in talks with the Chinese, who might see the writing on the wall and want to be on friendly terms with the new government. He also revealed new territory taken and predicted the days of the Junta are soon to come to an end.

NORWEGIAN TANKER ‘STRINDA’ STRUCK BY HOUTHI MISSILE – The Japanese-owned, Norwegian-flagged general oil and chemical tanker MK STRINDA was struck by a missile fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen, while transiting the Bab el Mandeb strait, late on the 11th. the ship reported damage and a fire, but reported no casualties.

The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Mason responded to the tanker’s distress call, and is rendering assistance as of press time. The Mason, along with other US Navy warships, has engaged Houthi missiles and drones fire at Israel. GO DEEPER

FBI SAYS 385 STILL MISSING FROM MAUI FIRE – Conflicting data has continued to pour in regarding the amount of “confirmed” dead and “missing,” with the latest FBI report revealing 385 people are still listed as missing after the deadly fire on Maui that destroyed the town of Lahaina on August 8, 2023.

CANADIAN MAN MAILS SUICIDAL PEOPLE POISON TO KILL THEMSELVES WITH – Kenneth Law, of Ontario, Canada, was charged with 14 counts of second-degree murder for doing something that’s perfectly legal in Canada, “assisting” suicidal people in killing themselves.

Apparently, it’s only legal to “help” people kill themselves when it’s a state-approved murderer doing the work. Law looked for people online who seemed to be suicidal and then mailed them poison to end their lives. At least 14 people followed through, using his mailed poison to do so.

WORLD (M-F)

WILL CATALAN SEPARATISTS GET THE AMNESTY PROMISED BY SPAIN’S FAR LEFT? – The Spanish PM, Pedro Sanchez, made a deal with the Catalans to hold on to power, despite losing to the conservatives challenging his corrupt regime. That deal will now be put to the test as Spanish lawmakers debate a new bill that will give the Catalan separatists amnesty from criminal prosecution and conviction following the 2017 cessation referendum. Failure to pass the bill could result in the PM’s new government being dissolved.

POLAND’S NEW EU-FIRST PM VOWS TO SUPPORT UKRAINE, SURRENDER SOVEREIGNTY TO EU – It didn’t take the globalists’ puppet and new Polish PM, Donald Tusk, long to make it clear that Poland is no longer a sovereign nation but is now a mere vassal of the EU, declaring in his inaugural speech to “end the evil” that is Polish sovereignty in favor of becoming a mere puppet of EU desires, including reversing the policies of the former Polish-first government  by declaring its undying support to Ukraine, no friend of the Poles.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)

COMER TO GET ACCESS TO MORE BIDEN EMAILS – The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has informed House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) that he will be given 1,799 more Biden emails from his time as Vice President. The documents will include 62,610 total pages of records, including the emails.

They are all related to Hunter Biden’s involvement with the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma Holdings, who appears to have “hired” Hunter to assure “the big guy” would use his power to protect Burisma from American scrutiny, at the cost of American security and certainly against America’s best interests.

DEMOCRATS TO USE NEW OBSCURE SCOTUS RULING TO KEEP TRUMP FROM BEING RE-ELECTED – After failing to use the 14th Amendment to prevent the American people from being able to vote for Donald J Trump, who leads Biden in most national polls and in most battleground states, the party of sedition, the party of hate, fear, and fake hope, the DNC-CCP is hoping an obscure 1968  SCUTOS ruling will give their fellow seditious-minded judges the sophistic “justification” to unconstitutionally prevent Donald Trump from being on Presidential statewide ballots.

CHINA (WEEKLY)

ITALY SAYS GOODBYE TO BELT AND ROAD – China lost a major foothold in Europe when Italy did an about-face and declared it was backing out of the Chinese Belt and Road deal, saying the deal brought nothing good to the Italian people. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni had already committed to withdrawing from the deal, but the CCP kept lobbying to hold on to their Italian foothold. Now, that dream is over as Italy has now formally withdrawn from the agreement.

IMPERIALIST CHINA CREATING SETTLEMENTS IN BHUTAN TERRITORY TO EXPAND THEIR OWN – As China feigns outrage at Israel over its alleged imperialist conquest of Gaza, the fascist state invades another country, Bhutan, by building settlements in remote parts of the country, converting Bhutan territory over to China without firing a shot.

“This is a case of China making a claim to an area, based on earlier grazing practices by herders, that is very recent and without precedent – and then unilaterally seizing the territory and settling it with villages, military barracks and outposts,” according to Professor Robert Barnett, an expert on Tibetan history at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London.

PEOPLE ADVANCE (WEEKLY)

ILLINOIS BACKS OFF PLANS TO CUT OFF PREGNANCY CENTERS AFTER FEDERAL JUDGE EMBARRASSES THEM – After a federal judge called an Illinois law defending murdering unborn children by shutting down pregnancy centers “stupid and unconstitutional” the Prizer regime is backing away from their murderous plans. The state will halt all prosecutions of pro-life centers and pay the legal fees of anyone that was unjustly prosecuted.

“We are elated that a permanent injunction has been issued against Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and SB 1909, which ensures the unconstitutional law will never go into effect,” said NIFLA president Thomas Glessner. “This is a huge win not only for NIFLA and our wonderful attorneys at the Thomas More Society but especially for pregnancy centers in the state, who serve thousands of women in Illinois who are facing unplanned pregnancies – all at no cost.”

MEXICAN FAMERS END CARTEL THREAT THEMSELVES – A village in Mexico fought for their lives to free themselves from the tyranny of the La Familia Michoacana cartel, leaving 4 of their own dead, but 10 cartel members also dead, including the cartel leader, “Comandante Payaso.” The Mexican people don’t have the same right to bear arms we Americans do so they had to use machetes to end the threat to their community their own government could not protect them against.

TOP STORIES

SCIENTISTS WANT TO RULE THE WORLD, AND THEY WANT TO USE THE UN AND “CLIMATE CHANGE” SPOOKS TO DO IT – The experts that can save us from man-made global warming are looking to the United Nations to create a world governance panel that can dictate to the countries of the world all that must be done to save us from ourselves.

They have formed a United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that they hope will be a vehicle of power for scientists to become the new priest-kings of the new world order, all in the name, of course, of saving the children from planetary destruction brought on by humankind. GO DEEPER

THE FALL OF POLAND IS OFFICIAL AS FAR-LEFT GLOBALIST SEIZES CONTROL – Far-Left radical leftist Donald Tusk has won the Prime Minister seat of Poland after the former incumbent PM Mateusz Morawiecki saw his party and coalition partners fail to muster enough votes to keep him in power, giving the reins to a seditious globalist who intends on destroying Poland’s efforts to regain its sovereignty.

Only 190 Poles in the new parliament voted to retain the conservative PM, referred to as an authoritarian by far-left publications even as a true authoritarian prepares to destroy Poland from within. GO DEEPER

AMERICA’S TOP BUSINESS LEADERS PAID $40K TO HAVE DINNER WITH XI – Some of America’s most powerful business leaders, including DEI-pimping Blackrock CEO Larry Fink and CCP-dependent Apple CEO Tim Cook, spent $40K JUST to have dinner with Chinese Communist Party and fascist Han Chinese nationalist Chairman Xi.

The gesture has all the appearances of an American market that recognizes its true customer, the Chinese Communist Party, as opposed to the American people who gave them the power they now possess, a power they intend on using to destroy the very people that made them who they are today. The list should be read as the revolutionaries seeking to overthrow the American republic and make it more aligned with “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” as reflective of the values of their true master, Chairman Xi.

PENTAGON LOOKS TO EMPS TO STOP DRONE THREAT – Drones are becoming a great equalizer in the battle between small-scale and large-scale interests, with large-scale systems being confounded by low tech drones that can take out platforms that cost millions for mere thousands of dollars.

The Pentagon hopes to combat that trend by developing Electromagnetic Pulse weapons that can stop drones from striking those high-end platforms still only producible by large-scale systems. The problem is EMP technology can also help small-scale operators confound the efforts of large-scale operators to overwhelm them with drones as well.

JACK SMITH WANTS SCOTUS TO SETTLE THE TRUMP ACCOUNTABILITY QUESTION – Lawfare Assassin and anti-American revolutionary activist Jack Smith is seeking an immediate answer from the Supreme Court as to whether President Donald Trump can be prosecuted for challenging the mass mailer election (which is no election at all) of 2020, as well as Trump’s handling of secret documents. The move should concern Americans as its is more than likely, in this writer’s opinion, that Smith would not make such a risky move if he didn’t already know the outcome.

The elites of Washington all socialize together, including SCOTUS judges, so it is not unreasonable to assume Smith has been told by his DNC-CCP handlers that the fix is in, SCOTUS will violate constitutional law and give Smith some sophistic “justification” to do what everyone knows is not just, prosecuting people for challenging an election.

U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE HALTS UNBORN BABY MURDER PILL… FOR NOW – Texas-based U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has ordered a halt to the sale of the unborn baby murder pill, mifepristone, over the counter, for now. His order goes in to effect in 7 days, but is sure to be revered by the next non-American judge (a leftist-appointed one) to take up this case, which, no doubt, will end in the Supreme Court.

DNC-CCP’S FUNDING OF HAMAS, IRAN COMES TO LIGHT – Far-left anti-American revolutionary George Soros has spent at least $50 million of his ill-gotten wealth funding the murderous death cult of Hamas and its fascist state ally, Iran. Hamas exploits the needs of the Palestinians and turns them into genocidal killers well-funded by DNC-CCP operatives now littering the Biden administration.

Soros is the tip of the DNC-CCP’s funding of Hamas, revealing the true murderous nature of an ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope that countenances the murder of individuals based on race, creed, sexual identity, gender identity, and more.

WILDERS GETS CLOSER TO TAKING NETHERLANDS – Conservative MP Geert Wilders took a step towards becoming Netherlands’ next PM after a coalition begins to form that could give his party enough votes to hand him the office. A Dutch official, Ronald Plasterk, has called in Wilders and 3 other party leaders in his coalition to attempt to form a new government. The coalition could command 88 seats, more than enough to claim a majority needed. Wilders’ Party for Freedom has the plurality of votes in the 150-seat lower house of the Dutch Parliament at 37.

BRAZIL SIGNS ELECTRICITY DEAL WITH VENEZUELA – As Venezuela rattles sabers over a possible invasion of Guyana, an invasion Brazil says it will oppose, Brazil signs a deal with the imperialist nation to resume electricity imports from Venezuela after 4 years of cessation. The deal could be a concession by Brazil to incentivize Venezuela to not invade Guyana.

JUDGE ENDS “FAMILY SEPARATION” AT BORDER, MAKING IT EASIER FOR CHILD SEX TRAFFICKERS IN THE NAME OF FAKE VIRTUE – Far-left activist Judge Dana Sabraw ended the power of the Federal government to assure  child sex traffickers aren’t the real parents of the children they smuggle into the country in the name of ending “Family separation,” calling the former policy “one of the most shameful chapters in the history of country” while making policy that endangers the children this fascist judge alleges to represent. May God have mercy on this Ba’al-worshiping land.

It should be noted this treasonous judge was appointed by another seditionist, George W. Bush, the son of the man who welcomed the CCP into our country for the sake of profit over American sovereignty and security.

DNC-CCP’S LATEST GUN GRAB EFFORT THWARTED IN SENATE – Senate Republicans put an end to the latest efforts by the DNC-CCP to strip Americans of their right to defend themselves against the tyranny the DNC-CCP hopes to inflict on them by killing a bill proposed by anti-American revolutionary Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that would ban so-called “assault rifles,” that is, semi-automatic rifles that look like military-grade assault weapons (which they are not as they are not automatic weapons).

EDITOR’S CHOICE (T-F)

FISA SECTION 702 ADVANCES IN CONGRESS WITH EXPANDED POWERS AMENDED TO IT – Rather than end the unconstitutional star chamber that is FISA Section 702, the Republican-led House looks to expand FISA powers, making businesses subject to total de facto control by the star chamber in the name of “fighting for democracy” against all “enemies,” foreign and domestic (with an emphasis on domestic.

Two bills are working through two different committees, both of which offer more power to the secret court to control Americans, track Americans, and even share their private information with far-left interest groups. The GOP is not your friend, and it ceased to be an American party long ago, not long after the DNC-CCP did the same.

LA TO CREATE CAMPAIGN FINANCE VOUCHERS FOR NON-WHITES, NON-HETEROS – Los Angeles is looking to create a political slush fund for “protected classes” called “Democracy Vouchers” that would award citizens access to tax-funded capital to give to the politician of their choice. The catch is the rewards will be based on your racial, sexual, and gender identities, meaning it will be systemic bigotry and racism aimed at empowering the “natural” allies to the fascist ideology of the Progmerican left, enemies of the American republic seeking to assure elections are won by the party, the DNC-CCP.

HUMAN-BRAIN-CELL-POWERED COMPUTER CAPABLE OF SPEECH RECOGNITION – Scientists from Indiana University of Bloomington have created a computer powered in part by human brain cell “organoids” that has the capacity to perform basic speech recognition tasks. Feng Gui, one of the researchers, said of the project, “This is just a proof-of-concept to show we can do the job. We have a long way to go.”

MICROVEHICLE DRUG DELIVERY COMING SOON TO A BRAIN NEAR YOU – Researchers at ETH Zurich are working on “microvehicles” that can be used to deliver targeted drugs to specific parts of the brain, enabling the treatment of brain maladies that previously were too risky to treat due to the damage that would also be done to healthy brain cells.

Daniel Ahmed, a leading researcher on the team, in describing the microvehicles also hinted at how they might be used, “Since these bubbles, or vesicles, are already approved for use in humans, it’s likely that our technology will be approved and used in treatments for humans more quickly than other types of microvehicles currently in development.”

‘“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
