BIDEN AND JUDGES WILL FIGHT TRUMP TO INAUGURATION DAY AND BEYOND

On his way out the door, Joe Biden’s team is busy seeking to hog-tie American’s ability to buy economical appliances, as well as making sure oil and gas prices remain high. Trump will, of course, attempt to reverse a lot of these executive orders, and I think he will succeed except when the courts are able to intervene and stop him. And as a grand slap in the face to the majority of Americans who despise the Leftist, politically correct and woke agenda, Joe Biden awarded the Medal of Freedom Award to both anti-American globalists like George Soros, and conniving arch-Leftists like Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton. Trump has been able to shake off most the legal challenges brought against him trying to keep him from out of the White House. Only judge Juan Merchan is still hanging on with the delayed sentencing of the president-elect mere days before he is officially sworn in again. The NY Supreme Court had already rejected Trump’s appeal to block sentencing, and Trump lawyers even made an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court to halt it as a “grave injustice and harm to the institution of the Presidency.” But yesterday the Supremes rejected the request likely because judge Merchan has hinted he is unlikely to impose jail time. Merchan signaled in his ruling that he was open to a conditional discharge, a move in which he would sentence Trump but dismiss the case should he avoid rearrest. This will not be enough to stop Trump from becoming president, but they will do their best to give him a black eye over it. Unfortunately, Trump is more than capable of giving himself a black mark as I will cover some major mistakes president-elect Donald Trump is talking about making as he takes on his second chance at the presidency.

We Were Censored By Meta; We’re Taking Them to the Supreme Court

Real Clear Wire

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Meta not only censored our posts – many having to do with topics that the so-called medical “experts” like Dr. Anthony Fauci were dead wrong about – but outright kicked us off the platform without warning. Meta first took action against CHD in May 2019, from takedowns and restrictions to an outright ban in August 2022 that is still in effect. What were our offenses? Simply publishing data on the risks of COVID vaccines, Remdesivir, and ventilation, as well as having the temerity to raise the benefits of natural immunity and alternative treatment with ivermectin and other protocols.

Former Trump NSC Senior Staffer Warns of Dangerous Move Being Made that Will Undermine President Trump in His Second Term

The Gateway Pundit

oshua Steinman has heard that “a significant number” of Biden NSC staffers will be kept on once President Trump is sworn into office. This is the same agency that produced Eric Ciaramella, the Obama Deep State asset who manufactured the complaint that led to the first Trump impeachment. Ciaramella lied about Trump’s call to the newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about Hunter Biden’s illicit payments from Ukrainian Burisma Holdings.

Germany Already Rationing Energy

Watts Up With That

Recall that Germany’s green energy masterminds decided that it would be best to decommission the country’s fleet on nuclear power plants, and to produce weather-dependent power with wind farms operating in the north of country, and then supply it to southern Germany via power transmission lines. There’s on problem with the masterplan from the green masterminds: the wind doesn’t blow all the time and so shortages result and rationing becomes necessary! According to the StromgGedacht from grid operator TransnetBW in Stuttgart, to avoid overloading the grid: “Electric vehicles or batteries (of laptops etc.) should also not be charged from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. if this can be avoided.”

Dear Mark Zuckerberg: It Ain’t Over Yet.

Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will end its third-party “fact-checking” program in order to “restore free expression” across Facebook, Instagram and Meta platforms. But ending its questionable fact-checking program isn’t enough — Zuckerberg needs to reinstate groups like Children’s Health Defense that were banned from Facebook and Instagram for speaking the truth.

Jay Bhattacharya Will Bring Much-Needed Transparency to NIH

Real Clear Wire

What makes my endorsement of Jay all the more peculiar is that he and I still disagree on COVID response. I know because I had the chance to talk with Jay and others in October at a conference that he organized at Stanford, at which I served as a panelist. What’s more, Jay invited me to this conference knowing that his and my opinions on this subject continue to diverge. Here and in other examples, I have seen Jay’s commitment to hearing diverse and disagreeing viewpoints. Jay is not one to try to muzzle a dissenting opinion.

Preemptive Strikes On Iran Will Be A 'Real Possibility' Under Trump: Officials

ZeroHedge

However, it remains anything but clear whether the Islamic Republic has actually decided to build a nuclear weapon, something recently (and surprisingly) acknowledged by the CIA. Still, the constant daily headlines over Iran's enrichment advances set things up for a collision course with the Trump administration after the Jan.20 inauguration.

Chinese Ship Suspected Of Severing Major Undersea Cable Near Taiwan

ZeroHedge

A little more than a month after critical undersea telecommunications cables were severed in the Baltic Sea region, reportedly by a Chinese vessel, a similar incident has unfolded just days into the new year—this time off Taiwan's northern coast. Taiwan English News reported that four core subsea telecom cables were damaged off the coast in Yehliu, New Taipei City, on Friday.

Meet Joel Salatin, a Leader in Regenerative Agriculture and Self-Described ‘Lunatic Farmer’

The Epoch Times

Joel Salatin, the self-described “Christian Libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer,” enthusiastically engages in a free-flowing conversation as he navigates the bumpy mountain roads that wind through his 700-acre Polyface Farms in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. He showcases his whimsical sense of humor while driving a faded early-1980s Ford Bronco that has no windows and only gets washed by the rain.

Not a Joke: Dems Hatch Plan to Disqualify Every Single Trump Electoral Vote

Western Journal

Davis and Schulte devoted six of their 12 drivel-filled paragraphs to the absurd argument that Trump tried to overthrow the federal government during the unarmed Capitol incursion of January 6, 2021, and that this alleged “insurrection” disqualifies him from the presidency under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. If that argument sounds familiar, it is because Democrats in multiple states tried to remove Trump from their 2024 ballots using the same ridiculous assertions. Of course, they did not succeed.

Is Climate Change Making Hurricanes Worse?

Daily Signal

Yet is Hurricane Helene really proof that man-made climate change is making life more dangerous in the U.S.? The Heritage Foundation special report “Keeping an Eye on the Storms: An Analysis of Trends in Hurricanes Over Time” answers definitively in the negative. In the report, Joe D’Aleo, visiting fellow in Heritage’s Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment, and Kevin Dayaratna, chief statistician in Heritage’s Center for Data Analysis, break down the data.
