[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Eric Adams ...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve... claimed the Biden administration has lost 500,000 migrant children as he announced plans to use executive orders to stop some of the Big Apple's 'sanctuary city' policies.
Adams met with Donald Trump's incoming 'border czar' Tom Homan on Thursday, with the Democratic mayor expressing an enthusiasm to work with the incoming administration amid the president-elect's promise of mass deportations.
Following the meeting Adams defended his recent efforts to work with the Trump administration while taking a swipe at the Biden White House for its inaction on the migrant crisis.
'We have 500,000 children who have sponsors in this country that we can't find. We can't find them,' he said.
'We don't know if they're doing child labor, sex crimes, being exploited, 500,000 children,' Adams reiterated.
'There is a level of hypocrisy for people who say they want to protect everyone. I want to support innocent children and those who are victims of crimes. Those who don't understand that, it's not up to me to try to convince them.'
In the weeks since Trump´s election win, Adams has mused about potentially scaling back the city´s so-called sanctuary policies and coordinating with the incoming Trump administration on immigration.
'New York remaining a sanctuary city is determined by the city council, I'm going to attempt to use my executive orders to go after dangerous people committing violent acts against migrants, asylum seekers, longtime New Yorkers, and undocumented immigrants. No one should be a victim of crime in this city - particularly violent crimes.'
He has also said migrants accused of crimes shouldn´t have due process rights under the Constitution, though he eventually walked back those comments.
The mayor's meeting with Homan, who will oversee the southern and northern borders and be responsible for deportation efforts in the Trump administration, came as Adams has welcomed parts of the president-elect's hardline immigration platform.
Adams told reporters at a brief news conference that he and Homan agreed on pursuing people who commit violent crimes in the city but did not disclose additional details or future plans.
'We´re not going to be a safe haven for those who commit repeated violent crimes against innocent migrants, immigrants and longstanding New Yorkers,' he said.
'That was my conversation today with the border czar, to figure out how to go after those individuals who are repeatedly committing crimes in our city.'
The meeting marked Adams' latest and most definitive step toward collaborating with the Trump administration, a development that has startled critics in one of the country's most liberal cities.
The mayor further stunned Democrats when he sidestepped questions last week on whether he would consider changing parties to become a Republican, telling journalists that he was part of the 'American party.' Adams later clarified that he would remain a Democrat.
For Adams, a centrist Democrat known for quarreling with the city's progressive left, the recent comments on immigration follow frustration with the Biden Administration over its immigration policies and a surge of international migrants in the city.
He has maintained that his positions have not changed and argues he is trying to protect New Yorkers, pointing to the law-and-order platform he has staked out throughout his political career and during his successful campaign for mayor.
At his news conference Thursday, Adams reiterated his commitment to New York´s generous social safety net.
'We´re going to tell those who are here, who are law-abiding, to continue to utilize the services that are open to the city, the services that they have a right to utilize, educating their children, health care, public protection,' he said.
'But we will not be the safe haven for those who commit violent acts.'
While the education of all children present in the U.S. is already guaranteed by a Supreme Court ruling, New York also offers social services like healthcare and emergency shelter to low-income residents, including those in the country illegally.
City and state grants also provide significant access to lawyers, which is not guaranteed in the immigration court as they are in the criminal court.
Still, Adams´ recent rhetoric has been seen by some critics as an attempt to cozy up to Trump, who could potentially offer a presidential pardon in his federal corruption case.
Adams has been charged with accepting luxury travel perks and illegal campaign contributions from a Turkish official and other foreign nationals looking to buy his influence. He has pleaded not guilty.
Homan, who was Trump´s former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, also met this week with Republicans in Illinois, where he called on Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, both Democrats, to start negotiations over how Trump's mass deportation plans, according to local media.
Separately, New York City officials this week announced continued efforts to shrink a huge emergency shelter system for migrants because of a steady decline in new arrivals.
Among the planned shelter closures is a massive tent complex built on a federally owned former airport in Brooklyn, which advocates have warned could be a prime target for Trump's mass deportation plan.
Elsewhere, Republican governors and lawmakers in some states are already rolling out proposals that could help him carry out his pledge to deport millions of people living in the U.S. illegally.

I expect that the Fed charges against Adams will be dropped on Jan 21st. He is going to be a problem for the Dems. We will see what Hochul, James and Bragg do about the sanctuary stuff.

How bad is it really that Eric effn Adams is on the bubble?
Listened to some guys talk NYC following the Penny acquittal. Holy crap.

As much as I'd like to link the stream, I am going to respect their privacy to promote themselves as they see fit; they take a lot of heat as it is.
Short story, everything people suspect about the real day to day commuting in NYC especially on the subways, a person will come across 5 'Michael Jackson Impersonators' every trip to negotiate around, people just pissing and shitting in the cars at will. Like that funky meme going around about two strangers sharing a bottle of wine they found roll out from under the seats - bullshit, don't touch anything which has been on the car floor. Dystopian nightmare.
Like, remember that gal who video'd herself walking the streets to document cat calls or whatever? If someone did that in the NYC subway the censors would absolutely zap the video, bad.
[FoxNews] Trump seeks legal wins against ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, CBS’ ’60 Minutes’
President-elect Donald Trump is not letting up in a pair of high-profile lawsuits against ABC News and CBS News, even after his resounding White House victory last month.
Trump is suing ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos for defamation over on-air remarks he made earlier this year. Trump is also suing CBS News for $10 billion in damages, stating the network practiced "deceptive conduct" for the purpose of election interference in its interview in October with Vice President Kamala Harris. Both lawsuits remain active and ongoing with a pre-trial discovery hearing set for Friday in the suit against the Disney-owned outlet, while the CBS suit could potentially impact an enormous media merger.
"President Trump will continue to hold those who have committed, and are committing wrongdoings, accountable for blatantly false and dishonest reporting, which serves no public interest and only seeks to interfere in our elections on behalf of political partisans," incoming Trump White House communications director Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital.
The first lawsuit stems from comments ABC's Stephanopoulos made in March when he asserted that Trump was found "liable for rape" in a civil case.
Stephanopoulos' comments were made during a tense exchange with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., on his Sunday program "This Week." After playing a clip of Mace discussing being a victim of rape, Stephanopoulos asked her, "How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?"
"You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape," Stephanopoulos said, alluding to the legal victory by Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll.
Stephanopoulos repeated that claim ten times during his spat with Mace, despite the fact that a jury actually determined Trump was liable for "sexual abuse," which has a distinct definition under New York law.
After the federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse, but not rape, Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in a later ruling that just because Carroll failed to prove rape "within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’"
The suit against ABC recently saw the start date for a jury trial pushed from April 2025 to June 2025 after both sides sought extensions.
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Lisette M. Reid issued a protective order last month urging parties to engage in "disclosure and discovery which may involve, among other things, the production of documents and information deemed confidential, including confidential newsgathering, research, or commercial information, and personal information of parties and third parties," an "entry of a protective order pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is necessary to protect such information that may be produced or provided by the parties or non-parties" whereas "good cause exists for entry of a protective order of confidentiality."
ABC stood by Stephanopoulos following the interview. Pre-trial discovery hearings have been set for December 13 and December 19.
Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against CBS came when he accused the network of practicing "deceptive conduct" for the purpose of election interference in its "60 Minutes" interview with Harris.
Correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Harris why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the United States. However, the vice president’s lengthy answer that aired on Oct. 6 didn’t make the version that aired the following night on "60 Minutes" and a shorter, significantly more focused answer to the same question was shown instead.
CBS insisted it was edited down for time, but Trump’s legal team feels otherwise.
Trump attorneys said the complaint is due to "CBS’ partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated to confuse, deceive, and mislead the public." They also argued the edits were done in an effort to "attempt to tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party as the heated 2024 Presidential Election — which President Trump is leading — approaches its conclusion."
"President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign, and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS’s deceptive broadcasting conduct," the lawsuit states.
Last week, CBS filed a motion to dismiss over "lack of subject-matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim," according to a court document obtained by Fox News Digital.
CBS’ legal team pushed to dismiss the suit with prejudice over a variety of reasons, including the claim that Trump’s "attempt to punish defendants for their editorial judgments is barred by the First Amendment."
There has been no further action since the notion to dismiss was filed.

Trump ought to borrow Musk’s lawyers. He needs to make sure that he keeps enough good ones out of the administration so he isn’t back to hiring mall lawyers like Cohen.

[REUTERS] A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday ruled that Nasdaq could not impose rules designed to increase diversity in corporate America by requiring companies listed on the exchange to have women and minority directors on their boards or explain why they do not.
The 9-8 ruling by the conservative-majority New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the rules approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ran afoul of federal securities law.
The decision is a significant legal victory for opponents of policies meant to boost racial and gender diversity in corporations.
The diversity rules were challenged by conservative think tank the National Center for Public Policy Research and Alliance for Fair Board Recruitment, a group founded by Edward Blum, who led the successful U.S. Supreme Court challenge against race-conscious college admissions policies.

Why would NASDAQ have thought that was a good idea to begin with? Mandating small companies make marginal hires for the purpose of virtue signaling is anti-business.

Mandating small companies make marginal hires for the purpose of virtue signaling is anti-business.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] One of Google's billionaire founders is the latest tech giant to cozy up to Donald Trump, dining with the president-elect at his Mar-a-Lago home on Thursday night, according to multiple sources.
It is a remarkable turnaround for Sergey Brin, who described Trump's 2016 win as 'deeply offensive.' But it shows how the online aristocracy is having to set aside their worries to grapple with a new reality.
Details of his visit emerged hours after Facebook's parent company Meta and Amazon revealed they were giving $1million to Trump's inauguration fund. All of them are playing catch-up as Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, watches his fortune grow as he sits in on meetings at Trump's political headquarters.
Google was one of the companies that Trump this year accused of being part of an election plot against him.
A source familiar with Brin's visit told DailyMail.com that it was set up by Jessica Reed Kraus, an Instagram influencer known as HouseInhabit, who is close to the Brin family.
'It was Sergey who reached out and wanted to have dinner with Trump,' said the source.
'Of course Trump said yes. These are the biggest companies on the planet and he takes them very seriously.
'But you can bet he always was frank in telling them what he thinks of them.'
Trump returned to his Palm Beach home on Thursday afternoon after visiting New York, where he was named Time Man of the Year. It was a rare public appearance. Trump has kept the media at bay since winning the election, forgoing publicity in favor building his administration, with dozens of meetings and personnel interviews every day.
On Thursday evening, it was back to business with Brin, who is worth an estimated $146 billion.
Brin was previously married to Nicole Shanahan, who went on to become Robert F. Kennedy's Jr.'s running mate. The Wall Street Journal reported that their marriage broke down after she had an affair with Trump's self-proclaimed 'first buddy' Musk, which could have made for an awkward atmosphere, although all parties deny it
Brin's visit to Mar-a-Lago marks an extraordinary turnaround from Trump's last victory in 2016. Then Brin and other Google executives were caught on a video expressing their horror.
The Wall Street Journal reported that their marriage broke down after she had an affair
'As an immigrant and a refugee, I certainly find this election deeply offensive and I know many of you do, too,' Brin said.
'I think it’s a very stressful time. It conflicts with many of our values. It’s a good time to reflect on that.'
Trump filed lawsuits against Google and Meta in 2021, accusing them of censorship for banning him from social media platforms.
And this year Trump threatened Google after reports surfaced that it allowed the Biden-Harris campaign to use doctored headlines in adverts.
In a post on his Truth Social website, he said: 'Google is a Crooked, Election Interference Machine. Totally Illegal, they will pay a big price for what they are doing!'
Brin is the latest tech mogul to make the visit to Mar-a-Lago.
Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has been ever present at the president-elect's side, and coming out for Trump during the election.
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook dined with Trump last month.
And Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos is reportedly due to meet Trump next week.

Sure, they are kissing up to avoid answering for their, proven, organized and conspired controls to violate Civil Rights on a massive scale.
Think of the things they controlled, manipulated the discussions of, or planted fake facts, that caused great harm to others:
* The Scamdemic,
* The validity of masking,
* The VAX effectiveness and its serious adverse effects,
* Russia Gate and JAN 6th,
* their direct support in censoring or promoting false details of a fraudulent US Election,
* and burying the mental issues, crimes and/or perversions of some political/Elite leaders and their family members.
[BREITBART] Former President Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is...
…he was also a dear friend of Jeffrey Epstein, or at least greatly enjoyed partying with him…
said Wednesday on ABC's ''The View'' that he was open to discussing a potential preemptive pardon for his wife Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... with President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... Co-host Sunny Hostin said, ''Do you think it would be wise of President Biden to preemptively pardon any potential targets? What about your wife, Hillary Clinton? She apparently is on Kash Patel's list.''
Clinton said, ''They've got a problem with her because first, she didn't do anything wrong. Second, she followed the rules exactly as they were written. Third, Trump's State Department — Trump's State Department — found — remember how the emails were such a big issue in 2016? Trump's State Department found that Hillary sent and received exactly zero classified emails on her personal device. It was a made-up phony story.''
He added, ''So, you know, I guess if Kash Patel is determined to make one up, he could do it, but I think if President Biden wanted to talk to me about that, I will talk to him about it, but I don't think I should be giving public advice on the pardon power. I think it's too — it's a very personal thing, but it is — I hope he won't do that, Trump, you know. Most of us get out of this world ahead of where we'd get if all we got was simple justice. And so it's normally a fool's ear and to spend a lot of time trying to get even.''

The Bidens are going to do bulk pardons as cover for the few ones that they want to hide. Their argument will be that sure they pardoned Liz Cheney, but they pardoned 10,000 other folks too. With respect to the political pardons, I don’t think you will see the people that participated in the summer coup. I also don’t think these will be cash deals as they would have to set up entirely new shell companies to process the payments. Instead, I expect to see Biden family members getting appointments to boards or a spike in the value of Hunter’s fecal collages.

Clinton said, ''They've got a problem with her because first, she didn't do anything wrong. Second, she followed the rules exactly as they were written.
What she did with her emails alone would have landed any of the rest of us in prison.

"...she followed the rules exactly as they were written." When confessed serial perjurer and author of the famous phrase "that depends on what the definition of "is" is..." makes an assertion about truth, you need to laugh. Bill Clinton's relationship with integrity and truth is about as malleable as silly putty, and worth about the same!
BREAKING: An Inspector General Report confirms the FBI had 26 confidential human sources on the ground at J6 and that some of them went into the Capitol.
Was this entrapment? Why did it take us four years to learn this?
If you uttered the facts in this IG report last year, you were labeled a “conspiracy theorist.” It’s also notable that the IG report came out literally the day after Christopher Wray resigned. https://t.co/7u6T2e4ZjN

The DOJ is splitting hair. There were several agencies with CHS at J6. There are videos of undercover badged LE in the crowd. I'll wager the Feds had numbers in the 100's at J6.
And no one is talking about the two bus loads of antifa dropped off in front of the capitol just before festivities got started.

They picked a number that they knew Kash would find. Certainly, they are destroying evidence of the true number. Beyond those receiving Fed money you will find auxiliaries like Ray Epps who were being paid by NGOs of some sort. Too many people under oath have said that Ray was not taking Fed money. None of them have said that Ray was not being paid. There was a large number of Dem operatives likely being controlled by whoever buses rally participants in. The Pelosi family seemed to know exactly what was going to happen on J6. I would look at the daughter’s comms, if I was doing an investigation.

The times, they are a-changing. This time President Trump and the Republicans need to be sure to pass them into law, not just depend on executive orders than can be as easily reversed by the next president as the Biden administration did last time.
[JustTheNews] ActBlue disclosed that it updated its policies on Sept. 9 to “automatically reject donations that use foreign prepaid/gift cards."
ActBlue, the massive online fund-raising platform for liberal causes, has informed Congress it did not automatically block donations made with foreign-bought gift cards until recently, a potentially significant revelation in an ongoing investigation into whether China, Russia, Iran or Venezuela routed illicit money to Democrat candidates.
Or Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the PLO…
House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., whose panel oversees election integrity, told Just the News on Tuesday that ActBlue turned over documents under subpoena showing a major change in September to its donor verification policies designed to protect against illicit money flowing into political campaigns.
ActBlue disclosed that it updated its policies on Sept. 9 to “automatically reject donations that use foreign prepaid/gift cards, domestic gift cards, are from high-risk/sanctioned countries, and have the highest level of risk as determined,” by its solution provider, Sift.
The change occurred just three days after Steil introduced the Secure Handling of Internet Electronic Donations (SHIELD) Act on Sept. 6 to ensure foreign money stayed out of online political fundraising. Before the change, Steil said, donations made with foreign gift cards were not automatically rejected by ActBlue before the change.
Or even rejected at all — it was to enable that kind thing that it was set up that way.
“While this is a positive step forward, there is still more work to be done to ensure our campaign finance system is fully protected from fraud and unlawful foreign interference," Steil told Just the News. "The documents provided to the Committee also confirm that ActBlue still accepted these concerning payment methods in July, a period when Democrats raised a record number of campaign money before implementing these safeguards.
Steil disclosed earlier this fall that his committee is investigating whether four foreign powers -- China, Russia, Venezuela and Iran -- used ActBlue to route illicit foreign money into Democrat coffers.
His committee referred thousands of suspicious donations to state attorneys general in five states, prompting an investigation that has now expanded to 19 states.
*Blink*
In addition, a Wisconsin Republican strategist filed a lawsuit in October alleging his email identity was misused to make Democrat and liberal donations he did not authorize or pay for. The judge in the case recently approved a subpoena compelling ActBlue to disclose certain evidence in the case.
Meanwhile, Steil and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer have requested to see suspicious activity reports filed by banks flagging certain monies flowing through Act Blue. Comer recently alerted lawmakers there could be hundreds such reports to review.
ActBlue has broadly denied wrongdoing but says it is cooperating with the various investigations.
”We dindunuffin,” the spokescritter said (it wouldn’t do at all to assume the creature is human, after all).
It claims to have raised more than $2 billion in small online fund-raising donations for Democrat and liberal causes since its inception in 2004.
How much of it donated knowingly and willingly?
In a recent statement on its site to users, ActBlue said it was the victim of “disinformation” and was committed to complying with the law and protecting donors’ privacy.
“We rigorously protect donors’ information by maintaining a robust security program and strict fraud prevention measures – often beyond what is required by law,” it said. “ActBlue holds itself to the highest legal and ethical standards, and all contributions made through ActBlue are disclosed in full compliance with federal, state, and local laws.”
Uh huh.
Steil said while getting to the bottom of any foreign funds that flowed through ActBlue is imperative, he also is focused on ensuring new legislation closes any potential loopholes that allowed bad actors to cheat on political fund-raising.
"We must keep working to ensure that no foreign funds were illegally funneled into U.S. political campaigns during this election cycle," he said. "It is also critical that we enact lasting reforms to prevent illicit contributions in future election cycles.
*Whoosh!* There goes the last Democratic candidate’s billion dollar election campaign kitty. It will be very interesting to see how much they can collect after seriously annoying major donor classes and being constrained to comply with election laws.
"Advancing legislation like the SHIELD Act will permanently close these vulnerable loopholes and safeguard the integrity of our campaign finance system," he added.
[AMGREATNESS] Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Biden nomination—and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.
As such he and his coterie proved the virtual architects of the Biden administration, one of the most unpopular and failed presidencies in American history.
Recall earlier that after a flailing candidate Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... lost the first three 2020 primaries and caucuses, his inert campaign was headed nowhere.
Barack Obama and fellow Democratic insiders abruptly engineered the withdrawal of his rival 2020 presidential candidates: hard left but likely sure-loser candidates, including Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... , Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren ...The Great White Squaw, Lizzie is the Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts. She traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. She has high cheekbones that stretch all the way to the top of her head. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... , and Pete Buttigieg
...the testicleless former mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay, which surprised no one. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He ran for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country. He lost that one too. Biden appointed him Secretary of Transportation, which he turned into shambles... The Obamas ignored or withheld from the public their own firsthand knowledge that Biden was suffering from signs of dementia.
Instead, they found Biden's cognitive decline and his former concocted reputation as workingman's Joe useful as a veneer for a veritable Obama third-term, ''phone it in'' administration. Or as wistful Obama once conditioned his dream of a third term—''If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in.''
The Obamaites then got their wish for four years of enacted hard-left directives that they could only have dreamed of while in actual power.
But their radical menu since 2021 had divided and nearly wrecked the nation—hyperinflation, 12 million illegal aliens, a ruined border, spiraling crime, a shattered foreign policy of appeasement, the popular backlash against DEI/Woke/trans chauvinism, partisan lawfare, and weaponization of the government.
And the ruling radicalism beneath the Biden facade eventually cost the Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... nearly everything—the presidency, the House, and the Senate.
An inert Biden is departing office with a 36 percent favorability rating in a recent Emerson poll. His Democratic nominee replacement, losing presidential candidate Vice President Harris, also has virtually vacated her office with 40 days left of her tenure.
Failed candidate Harris has been roundly faulted by staffers and donors for blowing through some $2 billion in assorted 2024 campaign money.
She ended up doing worse against Trump than Biden himself had in 2020.
Many Democrats believe that they might have done just as well had Biden stayed on the ticket even in his vastly diminished state.
The Obamas were further blasted for nullifying the wishes of 14 million primary voters by forcing Biden off the ticket—ironically in the same backroom, anti-democratic manner they had cleared the way for him in 2020.
Obama emerged from his comfortable retirement to hit the 2024 campaign trail, schooling the country that President-emeritus Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... was a dictator, a fascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... , a tyrant, and, of course, a ''racist.''
The more Trump polled even with, or ahead of, Kamala Harris former senatrix from California, 2020 Dem presidential hopeful and ultimately Joe Biden's intended successor , the more an exasperated and ignored Obama talked down to supposedly low-information voters.
But by the time Harris lost the election, voters had tuned out a nagging and patronizing Obama—and his stale, now-dated hope-and-changey boilerplate speeches.
What Obama did not mention, but what the voters knew, was that the border was more secure under Trump than during either the Obama or Biden tenure.
Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... invaded countries during the Obama and Biden administrations but stayed put on Trump's watch.
Barack Obama's bizarre vision of a new Middle East had sought to empower Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... as a supposed counterweight against moderate Arab nations and our ally Israel.
Years ago, Obama invited the Russians into Syria, empowered dictatorial Syria, berated Israel nonstop, and all but ignored the terrorist violence of Iran's surrogate Death Eaters of Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... , Hezbollah, and the Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s.
But after October 7, Israel retaliated to the mass slaughter of Jewish civilians with all-out war against Hamas and Hezbollah—rendering these once feared Death Eaters nearly impotent.
In an exchange of air attacks with Iran, Israel showed the world that Iran was as militarily weak as its chanting and threats were tiresome and shrill.
Iran is now tottering on the brink, as its terrorist appendages—including most recently the Assad dynasty—are melting away.
Israel and the moderate Arab regimes are in ascendance, as the entire crazy Obama-envisioned Middle East agenda melts away.
The 2024 anemic Democratic campaign and the Trump electoral college and popular vote victories—combined with record defections of Hispanic and African-American voters from the Democratic Party to Trump—proved a resounding rejection of the Obama legacy and his surrogates' left-wing visions.
Yet after the people spoke in the election, the more Obama whined that democracy itself had failed him. Voters, he remonstrated, who disagreed with him were written off as racist and sexist.
Obama again harped that constituents did not know what was good for them.
And then, the disappointed former community organizer suddenly disappeared—pondering to which of his own four mansions his private jet would fly him home to commiserate.

Fuck that african muslim deep state plant all the way back to his ancestors. What a useless tool. In all the life of our constitutional republic. Fuck the deep state. They are all bad. No exceptions.

[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Kamala Harris who got her start in politix between former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' knees looked inebriated again during a Christmas party at her residence at the Naval Observatory on Wednesday evening.
''I give you permission that if you are going to someone's house who doesn't know how to cook, bring your own dish!'' Harris said cackling.
Kamala Harris went on a holiday party speaking circuit over the last week and she sure was looking and sounding rough.
Harris slurred her words as she encouraged a room full of Democrat activists and influencers to keep fighting last week.
Harris partied last weekend at her residence at the Naval Observatory.
''Our work continues and so please everyone, look I know this election was not what we intended, certainly not what we wanted. I know there's a lot of emotion that we are all feeling right now. I get it,'' Harris said cackling.
''Please I have to just, I have to insist, that please do not let your spirit or your purpose be defeated,'' Harris added. ''Try and get some good food on the table, you know and you go to other peoples' house—'' Harris said.
''You answered a calling to serve in so many ways, so in this season it is very important to make first room for you, for us that we celebrate each other, that we celebrate our work that has had and will continue to have meaning, ours has been the work that is intentional about building community, ours has been the work that has been intentional about building coalitions,'' she said.

She is a sad figure with with Daddy issues that had issues as obvious as Joe’s. It’s possible that her story will have a happy ending, but it’s unlikely.

If you are fortunate enough to have not seen the tv show 'Who Wants to Work for Diddy?', he is not a very charming, or even likable, personality.
Beyonce, however, is a Diddy Product. $10million seems to have been the price tag.
*hilarious. I did a Hey Goober search, top link: USA Today - no evidence Harris paid celebrities. Third article, USA Today, Harris paid celebrity's production company.

^ Harris' father is economically very far left and socially (from what I understand) very much not far left. Maybe he wasn't seeing anything he liked.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Democrat Senator John Fetterman announced he is enthusiastically backing one of President-elect Donald Trump ...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!... 's top Cabinet picks.
Having split with his partly over the Israel-Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... war over his devout defense of Israel, the first-term Pennsylvania politician has carved out a unique position standing on the edge of his party's rightward line.
So it is fitting that he is one of the first Democratic senator to have met with any of Trump's Cabinet picks as most on the left hold their fire while GOP politicians take meeting after meeting.
Following a sit down on Wednesday with Trump's pick to lead the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... , Rep. Elise Stefanik, the 55-year-old former steel town mayor gave the upstate New York native a glowing review, all but saying 'hell yes' he will vote for her.
'Always was a hard yes for Elise Stefanik but it was a pleasure to have a conversation,' he wrote on X following their meeting.
'I support defunding UNRWA for its documented Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... infiltration and fully look forward to her holding the UN accountable for its endemic antisemitism and blatant anti-Israel views,' his post continued.
The image shows Fetterman, 6′ 8″, wearing his classic Carhartt sweatshirt towering over Stefanik who's donning a plaid blazer.
The pair can be seen smiling into the camera while each holding two thumbs up, indicating the Republican House Conference Chair and the Democrat senator had gotten along as fast friends.

I listened to Shawn Ryan’s latest interview of Sarah “Superbad” Adams yesterday. She is saying that Hamas, AQ and ISIS have formed a cooperative which now is disbursing teams throughout the US and Europe for coordinated strikes similar to O7. If that is true, the Pro-Palestinian groups will be very unpopular in the US very soon.

[THE-EXPRESS] Mark Zuckerberg ...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates.... 's Meta has donated a staggering $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets... 's inaugural fund.
The deal was reportedly agreed last month when the Facebook boss had a surprise dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, which has become the hub for his fledgling administration.
The meeting did caused shock after Trump's angry stance against Facebookand claims that Zuckerberg should be in prison.

Yet another reason why the 'Department of Education' (we need a new font for things like that; suggest dripping vileness font, which might/might not exist) should be dissolved.
Democrats are still frustrated slavers.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
