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.

‘“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
