State Department’s Global Engagement Center — accused of pushing censorship to combat online ‘disinformation’ — shuts down
The GEC, established in 2016, had a budget of about $61 million and 120 people on staff. - Victor NavaThe State Department’s controversial Global Engagement Center (GEC) shut down this week after congressional lawmakers nixed reauthorizing the agency in spending legislation to keep the government open...
- The GEC came under fire from House Republicans after journalist Matt Taibbi uncovered evidence that it pressured US social media platforms early in the COVID-19 pandemic to censor Americans online, purportedly to counter “disinformation,” such as theories that the virus leaked out of a laboratory in China.
- “We learned Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation ‘requests’ from every corner of government: the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA,” Taibbi testified to Congress in March 2023, shortly after his “Twitter Files” expose on the GEC...
- The Washington Examiner later uncovered a $100,000 grant GEC made to the London-based Global Disinformation Index (GDI) in 2021 and 2022 — a media monitoring nonprofit that would go on to deem 10 outlets, including The Post, as purveyors of “disinformation.”...

With Biden's term running out, even more taxpayer-funded aid headed to Ukraine * WorldNetDaily * by Mariane Angela, Daily Caller News Foundation:
With just 24 days left in office, the Biden administration is set to announce an additional $1.25 billion in military aid to Ukraine, according to the Associated Press, citing U.S. officials.
The Biden administration aims to bolster Ukraine's defenses against Russia before President Biden leaves office on Jan. 20, according to AP. The package earmarks resources for munitions, enhancing Ukraine's air defense capabilities with National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and HAWK systems that also include Stinger missiles along with 155 mm and 105 mm artillery rounds, said officials who requested anonymity ahead of a public announcement scheduled for Monday.
20 (or So) Obvious Questions about January 6 - American Thinker
Even before Donald Trump ascends to the presidency on January 20, his appointees should ask themselves the questions that follow — all of them simple and straightforward. - Jack Cashill 
With Christopher Wray stepping down from the FBI directorship, they will have a much better chance of getting straight answers quickly.
Trump’s team should then share those answers widely...
Trump’s team should then share those answers widely...
- Although now the FBI admits to having 26 confidential human sources in the crowd on January 6, how many total “assets” did the FBI and other entities plant, and what roles did they play?
- For what entity was Ray Epps working and under what terms?
- Who planted the pipe bombs outside the DNC and near the RNC headquarters?r-the-counter pepper spray?
- Has there been an official inquiry into the subsequent suicide deaths of four USCP officers, and if not, why has the DOJ routinely blamed the J6ers for causing those deaths?
- Why was there no crime scene investigation in the likely homicide of Rosanne Boyland?...
Yes. They distorted the word "insurrection" specifically to keep the people's choice from becoming President!-----Congress does not have to accept Trump's electoral votes
Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now 
The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president.
This is the plain wording of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
“No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
This disability can be removed by a two-thirds vote in each House.
Disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution and not the government.

- The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming.
The matter has been decided in three separate forums, two of which were fully contested with the active participation of Trump’s counsel...

Merry Christmas, Tony: Fauci Loses Wildly Over-Priced Taxpayer-Funded Security for New Year:
The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases indeed had a massive federally funded security detail, costing the taxpayers $15 million between January 2023 and September 2024 alone, according to a federal memo obtained by Open The Books.
Now that the government funding has expired, Fauci appears to have shelled out for his own security services.
You, the beneficiaries of electricity and heat, will pay the price!-----New York to Force Oil, Gas Companies to Pay Reparations for 'Climate Change' Damage
Large fossil fuel companies will now have to hand over punitive reparations to help New York fight the effects of “climate change” under a bill signed Thursday by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D). - Simon Kent
- “The Climate Change Superfund Act is now law, and New York has fired a shot that will be heard round the world: the companies most responsible for the climate crisis will be held accountable,” said state Sen. Liz Krueger, a Democrat who sponsored the bill.
- “The planet’s largest climate polluters bear a unique responsibility for creating the climate crisis, and they must pay their fair share to help regular New Yorkers deal with the consequences,” Krueger further warned...
'It's ridiculous': Trump border czar has plan for 'super' sanctuary county wanting to shield its criminal migrants from feds * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation
'It's ridiculous': Trump border czar has plan for 'super' sanctuary county wanting to shield its criminal migrants from feds * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation:
Tom Homan, the incoming border czar for the Trump administration, has a plan to deal with a major jurisdiction that recently doubled down on a statewide sanctuary law.
Earlier in December, the Democrat-controlled San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted to expand on a California sanctuary policy that already limits local law enforcement's ability to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The county-wide ordinance now prohibits law enforcement from notifying ICE agents, even in cases when a foreign national has committed severe crimes such as as rape, child abuse, burglary, gang violence or other heinous acts.
Government authorized $65B to expand broadband. 3 years later, not a SINGLE person has been connected. Here’s why government fails, again and again, to build things

"Lower insurance rates"??-----Democrats failure to pass driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants leaves advocates devastated
Advocates are left frustrated after state Democratic lawmakers' failure to pass that legislation in their final days of total control. - Michael Kransz | mkransz@mlive.com 
That effort failed again despite the Democratic trifecta of state government control.
“We’re devastated,” said Yvonne Navarrete, policy director at We the People Michigan. “There’s just been years of efforts from undocumented organizers and from our nonprofit coalition, and for all of that effort to not come to fruition in the final moments due to lack of leadership and lack of organization amongst the Democratic Party, it’s disappointing.”...
Proponents have said the measure would
- lower insurance rates,
- ensure those behind the wheel are qualified and
- allow all Michigan residents to drive to their jobs, take their kids to school, get groceries and complete other life necessities without fear of deportation or jail time.

Bill Gates goes full totalitarian: Insists AI could censor 'threats' from 'vaccine hesitancy' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
Bill Gates goes full totalitarian: Insists AI could censor 'threats' from 'vaccine hesitancy' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
Bill Gates often has expressed extremism in supporting his agenda that appears to include massive levels of one-world government, such as the submitting to World Health Organization agendas, and mandatory vaccines for people whether they help or not.
Now he's stepped further into the morass. He is suggesting artificial intelligence, or AI, censor people who are "inciting violence" by expressing doubt about vaccines.
The fact that vaccines not always are beneficial is no longer a question mark, given the tens of thousands of people injured by the side effects, which include death, of the COVID-19 shots that were mandated during the pandemic.
