White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

RESULTS: Democrat Tim Keller has won reelection as mayor of Albuquerque.

He defeats a former Republican sheriff, who took issue with Keller's executive order that limited collaboration with ICE.

And that's not all: Liberal faction seizes majority a city council.

NEW: DOJ Responded to Our Epstein Training Materials Motion, Arguing There's No Public Interest They also argue that the existence of the training videos doesn't raise any questions about government integrity!

BREAKING: The DOJ has filed its opposition to my motion for expedited processing of the EPSTEIN TRAINING VIDEOS. They're arguing that there's NO WIDESPREAD PUBLIC INTEREST. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-doj-re...

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency.

Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people.

Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”

Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”

Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

We're living in a sitcom in which an unhinged loudmouth is elected president and goes around breaking things.

Trump Fires Ballroom Architect Who Said It Was Too Big

The architect warned the president that enlarging the ballroom beyond the size of the White House itself was unwise.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

So I guess no one is actually going to hold her accountable for sending innocent people to a concentration camp?

We Have Descended into Utter Madness A new sense of urgency is needed. Our national crisis has grown much more acute.

The past decade has seen grave threats and unmistakable decline. But the past few days and weeks reveal that we have entered in a new and more perilous chapter here in the U.S. It must be a call to a new kind of action. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.

This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

A truly Black Friday.

The end of America as we know it.

Most Americans have families who came from poorer nations. I do.

LA Times — "President Trump says he wants to 'permanently pause migration' from poorer nations and is promising to seek to expel millions of immigrants from the U.S. by revoking their legal status."

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

BLOOMBERG REPORTER: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files why not…?”

TRUMP: “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.” 😕

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
