TOP STORIES
HOUTHI GOVERNMENT IN YEMEN ANNOUNCES BLOCKADE OF RED SEA – In a press release dated December 9th, the rebel Houthi government of Yemen announced its intention to blockade the Bab el-Mandeb strait, at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, in order to halt all maritime commerce going to or from Israel, including – significantly – vessels of any nation, including any vessel owned by Israeli companies or individuals.
This presents a direct and immediate threat to the Freedom of the Seas doctrine of international law, as there is no way to verify the details of vessels in the Red Sea without physically stopping them. This also places a considerable portion of world commerce in immediate jeopardy, as the Red Sea is one of the main conduits of global commercial traffic, not simply limited to the oil industry.

BANKS KNEW ABOUT JOE’S FOREIGN POWER GRIFT – Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), who sits on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations told Just the News that “banks filed at least six reports concerning Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings that flagged President Joe Biden’s home address in Delaware and raised concerns about possible criminal activity involving money laundering or human trafficking,”
The Senator exclaimed, “… the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS) chronicled about $12 million in transactions over several years, some of which passed through Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Del., home where he had allowed his son to stay.” GO DEEPER
ALEX JONES FREED FROM TWITTER JAIL AFTER 5-YEAR STINT – The platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has reinstated social and political gadfly Alex Jones after he was blacklisted off the site 5 years ago for challenging CNN’s Oliver Darcy over his journalistic inaccuracies. The progmerican left is convinced that allowing free people to speak and tweet freely LITERALLY threatens “Democracy,” which seems to be a dog whistle for leftist fascism at this point.
The Alex Jones Twitter account was freed with around 20K followers, but, as of the writing of this post, is now over 4 million subs. On his first day back, Jones participated in a Twitter conversation that saw over 9 million people listen to the discussion between Jones, Elon Musk, Andrew Tate, and more. Once again, the progmerican left considered all this freedom of speech stuff to be an existential threat to their “Democracy” (which is no actual democracy at all).
YALE TRASHES VALUE OF DEGREE BY GIVING EVERYONE A’S – A new report exposes the worthlessness of a Yale degree by showing 78.96% of Yale college students get A’s. The report shows that the only real requirement for getting good grades in Yale is conforming to the anti-American, anti-human, ant-Christian ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope the DNC-CCP pushes, Woketarianism, the psychotic cult that stakes it’s entire reason for existing on the claim that white people invented evil, so we have to get rid of EVERYTHING white people invented, including America, Christianity, cis-genderedness and heteronormativity.
The report was created by economics professor Ray Fair. He told Yale Daily News, “Some thought [the COVID effect] would be temporary, but it has more or less persisted. [It’s] probably the faculty going easier on students because COVID was a pain.. The report simply documents the history of grading at Yale … It gives the ‘current state of grading’ and I think the numbers are straightforward to interpret.”
RUSSIA, VIETNAM ABANDON DOLLAR IN TRADE DEAL – The hegemony of the U.S. dollar as the world’s currency was further undermined by a recent trade deal between Russia and Vietnam that will abandon the use of the U.S. dollar and instead use a ruble-dong pairing through a joint bank the two nations have created specifically to facilitate such trade.

NETANYAHU UTTERLY REJECTED BY ISRAELI PUBLIC – A new poll reveals 72 percent of Israelis want current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign, with over 60 percent total wanting that resignation to take place now, before the war is over. The Prime Minister is battling the left that has long wanted him gone, as well as the right, who look on him as a failed security PM who allowed the most atrocious terror campaign to happen on Israeli soil to happen.
LEFTIST IDEOLOGY TURNING MORE YOUTHS INTO HOLOCAUST DENIERS – After years of antisemitic indoctrination by Progmerica (which is no America at all), American youths are leaning into Nazi narratives, especially the classic Nazi trope “the holocaust isn’t real.” 20 Percent of young adults, people between 18-29 years old, believe the Holocaust was a myth while 33 percent are “agnostic” on the claim, meaning less than half of the people in this age group believe the holocaust was real.
This has all occurred under the watch of the alleged antifascist left, who preaches antifascism while practicing fascism, and this poll is just one more item that demonstrates how true that reality really is.

WILL GUYANA, VENEZUELA AVOID WAR? – The President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, and the President of Guyana, Irfaan Ali, are scheduled to meet this week to talk about how to avoid a potential invasion by Venezuela to seize the disputed territory Essequibo. Brazil’s President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva will also be there to help with the negotiations.
MYANMAR JUNTA WANTS JAILED DESERTER SOLDIERS TO REJOIN MILITARY – The Myanmar Junta is running low on soldiers, so they have enacted a new policy that will give soldiers jailed for desertion amnesty if they will rejoin the miliary. The junta has not only failed to consolidate power, but it is also losing territory, and men, at an alarming rate from its perspective. The move is seen as a desperate attempt to ward off the potential collapse of the whole “project.”

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)
TRUMP WINS RAINBOW, POC APPROVAL OVER BIDEN – The “protected classes” of the hateful, anti-American, anti-human ideology of Woketarianism being forced on Americans by corporations and DNC-controlled government agencies are not showing gratitude for being deemed protected, deemed with special rights to bully those not in that protected group for merely existing in the wrong class of people. Apparently, minority, LGBTQ and even youth voters are giving Joe Biden lower approval numbers than they give Trump, meaning Biden has even ticked off the special people his party of hate, fear, and fake hope patronizes and unfairly favors over everyone else. The poll was conducted by Greenberg and James Carville through the Democracy Corps.
As Democratic Pollster Stanley Greenberg said of the numbers, “Yes. I reiterated it was grim because there is a path. The grim is in that the base is a problem. We’re behind in this race in the base. Approval of the president is lower than that of Trump in the base. Probably the hardest part about that is that if the issues at play, it’s not just we’re not doing well now and inevitably the structure of the race will come back.”
JOE BIDEN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY VOTE SET FOR THIS WEEK – U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) has declared his intentions to hold a full House vote on whether to proceed with an impeachment inquiry for seditionist Joe Biden, the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee figurehead allegedly running the country. Johnson said he expects the vote to happen this Wednesday.
He said of his decision, “It’s the next necessary step to ensure we can enforce our subpoena power because the White House is stonewalling us. We have a few more dots to connect and see where that leads.”

FINANCE (M & TH)
DISNEY’S ALLEGED CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES COME TO STRONGER LIGHT IN DAMAGING AUDIT – An audit by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, followed by a board meeting, is exposing the criminal activities Disney appears to have engaged in when it controlled the district for the previous 50 years before Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) ended their control of what was then called the Reedy Creek Special Tax District.
One auditor, Martin Garcia, said, “A degree of shareholder-driven change is certainly warranted in Disney’s boardroom following an extended period of absentminded governance, ineffective succession planning, polarizing actions and sustained value destruction. While it has been argued that challenges largely stem from the tenure of Bob Chapek, the Board was in the driver’s seat before, during and after that time.”
SCOTUS CONSIDERS LIMITS OF TAXING CORPORATE WEALTH – A case before the Supreme Court has the potential to upend decades of corporate tax law. That case is Moore v United States, which challenges whether there should be any limits on what congress can tax as it relates to corporate income. The battle begins and ends with the legal definition of “income.” A “conservative” ruling could significantly hamper the state’s ability to use tax law as a means of cultural and social engineering.

CULTURE (M & TH)
COLLEGE WANTS TO AWARD STUDENTS FOR MAKING FILM THAT GLORIFIES MURDERING UNBORN CHILDREN – Barnard College wants the world to know it not only approves murdering unborn children (abortion), but it celebrates the deaths of innocents for mostly selfish needs, not wanting the burden of taking care of children while enjoying the benefits of unprotected, unaccountable, serial sex.
It celebrates this depravity so much it has created a film-making contest that will award the best of the worst cinematic glorifications of the depraved practice with a mentorship in how to better promote murdering unborn children for fun and profit.
BIG SURPRISE, SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES ON THE RISE – As the far left progmericans (which are no Americans at all) celebrate casual sex and sexual deviancy in general, and as the use of the magic abortion pill rises, so too do sexually transmitted diseases, with syphilis alone rising 26 percent. The excuse has been Covid-19 lockdowns that have led to allegedly more casual sex, but the numbers continue to rise even after the lockdowns have ended.

‘“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
