TOP STORIES
THE SELECTIVE OUTRAGE IN THE OSAMA “DEAR AMERICA” VIRAL LETTER – HOW TO KILL THE REPUBLIC IN ONE EASY STEP – The plea of the needy must be heard, including the innocents bombed by American power. This is the narrative now going out with the viral sharing and endorsing of the Osama Bin Laden “Dear America” letter from 2002.
The spreading of that letter is not about ending America’s exploitation of weak powers for its own end, it’s about conditioning children to further accept the idea of “rebooting” America to something that is no longer a constitutional republic with a Bill of Rights that acknowledges our God-given rights to define and pursue our own happiness without fear of the state oppressing us for reasons that have nothing to do with causing direct harm to others. GO DEEPER
THE ANCAPS TAKE ARGENTINA – Self-professed anarcho-capitalist Javier Milei has won the Argentinian Presidential run-off election, defeating the leftist, Sergio Massa 55.95 percent to 44.04 percent. The former economist and cable news celebrity turned President will take office December 10, when he promises major changes, including pinning Argentina’s currency to the U.S. dollar and shutting down the country’s Central Bank.
AS ADVERTISERS ABANDON X, MUSK PROMISES LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CANCEL-ORCHESTRATOR, MEDIA MATTERS – The far-left anti-American revolutionary seditionist terror group known as Media Matters has long used its power to destroy dissenting voices by strong-arming advertisers to not support any shows that fall outside the heretical (from an American values standard) ideology this corrupt organization shills for.
Now, the terror organization might face accountability as the owner of X, Elon Musk, promises a “thermonuclear lawsuit” that could not only expose the shakedown terror tactics of Media Matters, but the whole far-left special interest tactics to silence dissent in their ongoing efforts to murder the American republic.
TRUMP LEADS BIDEN FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY IN NBC POLL – NBC’s notoriously skewed DNC-friendly polls can no longer hide the truth, Biden is failing and Trump is rising. Their latest poll has Trump leading Biden 46-44, the first time ever that an NBC poll has shown Trump ahead of Biden.
Democrats are not gods. They sometimes lose. Even with all the cheating built in, even the Democrats lack the power to fake polls and steal elections if and when the margins are significant. The only chances anyone other than a Democrat has to win any statewide election in a DNC-controlled state or any national election is if they win by more than 5-7 points. This poll showing Trump ahead by two most likely reflects a much-more significant lead than 2 points.
FORD WORKERS RATIFY NEW CONTRACT AGREEMENT – Ford workers voted 69.3 percent to 30.7 percent to approve the new contract negotiated between Ford executives and UAW leaders. Stellantis workers have yet to ratify the contract, but with just a couple small plants left to vote the current approval number, 68.7 percent, appears insurmountable.

HEADLINES
TRENDING (M-F)
ROSALYNN CARTER PASSES – The former First Lady, Roselyn Carter, passes away after a short illness at the age of 96. Her husband, Jimmy Carter, was President from 1977 to 1981. He lost his re-election bid to Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election. Rosalynn Carter was known for her mental health advocacy in addition to being the former First Lady.
ICELAND TOWN SHUT DOWN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE – With a volcanic eruption seemingly immanent, the Icelandic town of Grindavik can expect to be shut down for months, assuming the volcanic eruption doesn’t happen, and longer if it does. The town has already been evacuated last week as more seismic activity suggests the volcanic eruption could happen any day now.

WORLD (M-F)
YEMENIS SEIZE JAPANESE SHIP, THINKING THEY’D CAPTURE ISRAELIS – A ship that may or may not be owned by Israeli companies, the Galaxy Leader, was seized by Yemeni forces, its 22-person crew kidnapped according to the Yemenis themselves. It seems Japan has more claims on the ship than Israelis do, and Japan is not happy with the Yemenis right now.
MORE EVIDENCE SHOWS GAZA HOSPITAL WAS HAMAS HQ – Even as Israel continues to show the world evidence Shifa, the largest Hospital in Gaza, was being used as an HQ by Hamas, the global MSM continues to deny reality. Now, video has been released that shows Hamas taking hostages into the hospital, proving the hospital was at least being used to imprison hostages. In other words, Hamas is using civilian buildings for military means, forcing Israel to choose between bombing hospitals or allowing Hamas to win.
ED.NOTE: Whether Israel is being as careful as it should or not in how it bombs civilian targets is another matter altogether, but the taking of the hospital appears to be justified based on the evidence being shared (such as one can believe evidence from any side of this conflict).

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)
TRUMP UNMUZZLED… FOR NOW – Donald J Trump’s gag order imposed on him by NY Lawfare Assassin Judge Arthur Engoron has been lifted, for now, by a NY Appeals court while they consider the full merits of Trump’s appeal against the anti-American, DNC-CCP-serving order.
BIDEN’S BROTHER READY TO COOPERATE WITH HOUSE INVESTIGATION – Representative James Comer (R-KY), the Chair of the U.S. House Oversight Committee, is claiming the brother of Joe Biden, James Biden, has signaled through his attorney his intentions to cooperate with the House investigation. The news comes as the White House protests the subpoenaing of Joe’s family members even though the investigation into his seditious acts centers around the benefits his family has received for his overt acts of treason against the American republic.

FINANCE (M & TH)
MAJOR COMPANIES ABANDON X AFTER MEDIA MATTERS CAMPAIGN – After Media Matters’ latest hit piece intended to demonize the free-speech platform run by Elon Musk now called X, DNC-CCP aligned corporations were quick to follow the signal sent out by the anti-American revolutionary terror group to drop their advertising with X, which they promptly did.
Included in that list is IBM and Disney as the list of treasonous “American” corporations continues to grow, making it easy for Americans to separate from the seditionists and support the American companies over the treasonous, DNC-CCP-following ones.
WALMART, TARGET CLOSES MORE STORES – Both Walmart and Target announced store closings leading in to 2024, with Walmart closing 22 stores, 7 of which are in leftist-destroyed cities of Portland, Chicago, and Milwaukee. While Walmart’s announcement cites lack of profit, Target openly cites the rise in crime for the reasons behind their store closings. Walmart’s closings don’t appear to be entirely due to the rise in crime in DNC-CCP infested cities, but the location of more than 25 percent of the scheduled store closings happen to be in such cities.

CULTURE (M & TH)
NEW JERSEY ENDS “SO HELP ME GOD” IN SWEARING IN CEREMONIES – As a further sign of the godlessness of the DNC-CCP, the fallen American state, New Jersey, currently run by the seditious DNC-CCP, is making it all-the-more obvious by ending requirements of elected officials to repeat “So help me God” during their swearing in ceremonies as Democrats don’t like to submit to the God they are in clear rebellion against.
JOE TELLS HOSPITALS “KILL THE UNBORN OR WE’LL END YOU” – The Biden administration is seeking to use a federal law that requires hospitals to care for any patient in need of emergency care (EMTALA) to force hospitals to murder unborn children, claiming the “need” for a “Mother” to murder her unborn child should be considered emergency services. The move is sure to gain support in America, a nation who showed in the 2023 election that they choose child sacrifice over liberty, murder over America.

‘“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
