Fascinating!-----The Trump sentencing: Curtain to fall on Merchan’s Hamlet on the Hudson - Jonathan Turley
At 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 10, 2025, the curtain will fall on the longest performance of “Hamlet” in history. - Jonathan Turley 
Acting Justice Juan Merchan will finally decide whether “to be or not to be” the judge to sentence Trump to jail.
- (Spoiler alert: He appears set to avoid a jail sentence and likely reversal.)
...But the whole point of a trophy-kill case is the trophy itself.
Merchan will not disappoint.
While indicating that he is inclined to a sentence without jail or probation, he will finalize the conviction of Trump just 10 days before his inauguration.
In so doing, he will formally label the president-elect a convicted felon...
State Department docs indicate closing of Obama's Global Engagement Center may have been sleight of hand: Report | Blaze Media
State Department docs indicate closing of Obama's Global Engagement Center may have been sleight of hand: Report | Blaze Media:
Documents recently obtained by the Washington Examiner and reviewed by senior Republican staffers have reportedly exposed the State Department's intention to "realign" over 50 GEC officials and divert tens of millions of dollars in funding to what appears to effectively be the same controversial agency by another name, this time the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Hub.
This is a story of FBI recruiting policies and practice, originally released almost one year ago.
"...new agents who are so fat and unfit, they can’t even pass the new relaxed standards for fitness; who are illiterate and need remedial English lessons; who don’t want to work weekends or after hours; have serious disabilities or mental-health issues, and “create drama.” - John Campbell 
- Then compare this to more recent stores of FBI incompetence and DEI gone wild.

FAA expands ban on drones in New Jersey for reasons that remain unclear | Blaze Media
FAA expands ban on drones in New Jersey for reasons that remain unclear | Blaze Media:
The mystery surrounding the apparent sudden proliferation of drone activity in New Jersey deepened Tuesday when the FAA announced that it was expanding its list of areas in New Jersey where drone flights are banned, adding another nine towns to the restricted area.
The mystery regarding the drones began in November, when widespread reports of heavy and unexplained drone activity began circulating online, with numerous viral videos showing drones hovering over people's homes with no apparent justification.
The reports led to an FBI investigation, which claimed that the drones presented "no threat to public safety" and furthermore claimed that the majority of reports it investigated were actually airplanes, stars, or "authorized drones."

Armed Tren de Aragua Thugs Mobbing Border Checkpoints to Force Way in Before Inauguration Day: Report
Armed Tren de Aragua Thugs Mobbing Border Checkpoints to Force Way in Before Inauguration Day: Report:
You can say this about the migrants in the Venezuelan-originated Tren de Aragua gang: They may be thugs, but they keep abreast of American political news.
Now, thanks to the fact that a border hawk of a president is less than 20 days away from taking office, they’re flooding the border in an attempt to get into the United States before Trump gets into office.
According to a report in the New York Post published on Tuesday, border agents in El Paso, Texas, have been overwhelmed by mobs of gang members, wielding knives and looking to get into the country before Joe Biden hands Donald Trump the keys on Inauguration Day.

How to teach climate change so 15-year-olds can act
OECD’s Pisa program will measure the ability of students to take action in response to climate anxiety and ‘take their position and role in the global world’“It’s going to get hot and everything’s going to be on fire and the oceans will rise,” says a year 11 student, Josh Dorian. “That’s just like the worst of the worst. How do you combat that?“Well, you fix it, you stop it from happening, you take preventive measures,” says Josh, who is studying VCE environmental science at Mount Lilydale Mercy College, a high school in Melbourne’s outer east. “Involving kids in that is scary but I think it’s necessary.”In 2025, for the first time in nearly a decade, science will be the major focus of the OECD’s program for international student assessment (Pisa) – which runs every three years (give or take Covid interruptions), its focus rotating between reading, maths and science.
This year it will measure the knowledge and ability of 15-year-old students from 92 countries and economies to act on climate change...
Lunch video-----Climate: The Movie
THE documentary Climate: The Movie first released at the start of 2024 remains the most important contribution to the debate about the so-called climate crisis and antidote to today’s ‘alarmism era’ that is causing so much havoc with energy policy and supplies.
- The film is one and half hours of careful argument and evidence and requires considerable concentration!
- After its release we thought it would help, for readers’ reference, if we published the transcript in sections. This we did between April 2 and April 5 2024.
We are repeating these over the Christmas period, starting today with the film’s preamble followed by the first sections on the scientific history of the earth and the ‘history’ of CO2.
You can watch the full film here.

Investigators exploring possible links between 2 New Year's Day terrorists * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
Investigators exploring possible links between 2 New Year's Day terrorists * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
Military records reveal possible links between two New Year's Day terrorists: They both served at Fort Bragg in North Carolina during their service careers.
A report at the Gateway Pundit documents the intersections that may have occurred between Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, who rented a Ford pickup truck and drove it through a New Orleans crowd, killing 15 and injuring dozens, and Matthew Livelsberger, 37, of Colorado Springs, who detonated a rented Tesla truck in Las Vegas, killing himself and injuring a handful of passersby.
Green Electricity Costs a Bundle - WSJ
The data make clear: The notion that solar and wind power save money is an environmentalist lie. - Bjorn Lomborg 
- As nations use more and more supposedly cheap solar and wind power, a strange thing happens: Our power bills get more expensive.
This exposes the environmentalist lie that renewables have already outmatched fossil fuels and that the “green transition” is irreversible even under a second Trump administration.
The claim that green energy is cheaper relies on bogus math that measures the cost of electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing...

The Constitution Does Not Grant Birthright Citizenship to the Children of Illegal Immigrants - Just Facts Daily
Dozens of media outlets are reporting in unison that Donald Trump cannot stop the U.S. government from awarding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants.
They claim this is the case because the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires it. - James D. Agresti 
- In reality, the legislative history of the 14th Amendment is clear that it only grants birthright citizenship to the children of people who are legally and permanently living in the United States.
- This does not apply to the children of illegal immigrants, temporary residents, visitors, or tourists.
- The children of such foreigners are currently granted U.S. citizenship and its benefits under a misinterpretation of the Constitution.
Although such citizenship could be conferred through legislation, no such law exists.
A Supreme Court ruling in 1898 presents mixed messages about this issue, but it is factually flawed on multiple levels and could justifiably be superseded by the current Supreme Court.
