How Christians honored a truce the left never accepted | Blaze Media: 

Christmas exposes the lie of neutrality. It reminds us that history has meaning, that truth entered the world, and that human beings answer to something higher than administrative guidelines or ideological fashion.

Report confirms there was a 'Russia, Russia, Russia,' only it involved DEMOCRATS * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Report confirms there was a 'Russia, Russia, Russia,' only it involved DEMOCRATS * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

The report explained how the protection worked for Clinton: "The Obama-Biden Administration prevented agents investigating Hillary Clinton from reviewing some eight thumb drives of intel based on purported concerns over executive and congressional privilege, newly released documents reveal. This reality renders last month's revelation that the Biden Administration approved Special Counsel Jack Smith's subpoenaing of congressional Republicans' toll records even more appalling — and the Democrats' weaponization of the criminal justice system even more obvious and outrageous."

The Books That Built Trump’s National Security Strategy

Patrick Buchanan and Angelo Codevilla wrote the playbook for America First. - Francis P. Sempa

Since 2015, Donald Trump has promoted an “America First” foreign policy despite criticism from the legacy media and the American and broader Western foreign policy establishment. 

Trump’s national security strategy is not ambiguous or open to differing interpretations. 

What you see is what you get. 

• Its essence is a whole-of-government approach to promoting, preserving, protecting, and advancing the interests of the United States.

Trump’s strategy is not, as the critics claim, isolationist, though it does emphasize noninterventionism abroad and hemispheric security at home. 

• It revitalizes the Monroe Doctrine, recognizing that security at home and within the Western Hemisphere is of paramount importance. 
• It recognizes that without hemispheric security, the United States would be forced to turn inward and have significantly less influence on international events. 
• It seeks good commercial relations with all nations, including the country’s adversaries, but it insists on fair trade instead of “free trade.”
• Unmatched economic and military power are the sine qua non of Trump’s national security strategy...

Russia’s Chinese-Enabled Drone Supply Network Is Remaking Warfare

UAV cooperation with China is rapidly transforming Russia’s capacity for sustained, cost-effective, and scalable warfare – with implications stretching from Europe to the Pacific Ocean. - Anton Ponomarenko

In almost four years of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it has become evident that Moscow’s technological alliances have reshaped not only the future of the battlefield but also the foundations of international security. 

• The threats no longer lie in the number of tanks or missiles that a given army has. 
• As the war in Ukraine has shown, technological advances in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and advanced radar jamming technologies have allowed for asymmetric application of such technologies, often rendering classical concepts of deterrence, defense, and security architecture obsolete...

'Whites ... need not apply': Trump DOJ sues Minneapolis Public Schools for alleged racial discrimination | Blaze Media

'Whites ... need not apply': Trump DOJ sues Minneapolis Public Schools for alleged racial discrimination | Blaze Media: 

According to the lawsuit, the active collective bargaining agreement apparently provides for discriminatory treatment in favor of "underrepresented" teachers, resulting in allegedly discriminatory hirings, firings, and benefits, despite claims to the contrary by the defendants in the case. Regarding Black Men Teach, the third-party organization included in the CBA, the DOJ says that the discriminatory practices are made "even more manifest" since "women, whites, Asians, and others need not apply."

Philly Teens Learn The Hard Way NOT To Steal In Florida

The Bollocksing of Everything :: SteynOnline

~The Brown University shooter has been found dead by his own hand in a storage locker in southern New Hampshire.  - Mark Steyn

The entire officialdom of Providence, Rhode Island celebrated by throwing "the most worthless, uninformative, cover-your-ass press conference I have ever seen in my entire life".

• You'll be glad to hear that the DEI Mayor of Providence has declared "we believe that you remain safe in our community." 
• He said this at 11pm last Sunday, but his statement was technically true because at that point the shooter was driving out of "our community" up to someone else's community to kill an MIT professor, who would assuredly be alive today had not everybody in Providence bungled everything that could be bungled...

Exit question: the twin-state killer was admitted to the US on a "student visa". 

• That presumably ended when he formally withdrew from Brown in 2003. 
  
• Fourteen years later, he obtained a green card under the "diversity lottery":

Obviously, any such thing as a "diversity lottery" is an absurd and self-mutilating public policy. 

• But was he in America for that decade-and-a-half between 2003 and 2017?..

Woke Colorado Dems target natural gas: 70% of homes face skyrocketing bills for unreliable electric heat | Blaze Media: 

Before incentives, customers looking to satisfy climate alarmists by electrifying their gas appliances and homes are looking at costs in excess of $20,000 per home, Xcel noted in testimony about the state's so-called clean heat plans.

Diversity??!!

 

Critics of Trump’s Drug Strikes were Silent about Obama’s Drone Strikes

The members of Congress now referred to by some as the “Seditious Six,” after attempting to form doubts in the minds of our service members and intelligence officers as to the lawfulness of President Trump’s orders, were and are strangely silent about President Barack Obama’s drone strikes against suspected terrorists abroad. - Francis P. Sempa

During his eight years as president, Obama ordered 542 drone strikes that killed more than 3,700 people, including more than 300 civilians, according to a Council on Foreign Relations report. 

• That report quotes Obama telling his senior aides: “Turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was going to be a strong suit of mine.” 
• Yet, none of the “Seditious Six” made a video urging our military and intelligence services to disobey any of Obama’s orders...

When the democrat-controlled media lies. And repeats the lies!

 

Confronting the Unspeakable Truth - by Aaron M. Renn

Jacob Savage’s viral essay exposes how DEI has quietly shut doors on a generation of young white men—while too many refuse to say it out loud. - Aaron M. Renn

Steven Pinker once noted that online radicalization is often a product of people discovering critical, important truths that mainstream society refuses to mention or acknowledge.
He said:

A way in which I do agree with my fellow panelist that political correctness has done an enormous amount of harm in the sliver of the population whose affiliation might be up for grabs comes from the often highly literate, highly intelligent people that gravitate to the alt-right – internet savvy, media savvy – who often are radicalized in that way – who “swallow the red pill” as the saying goes from the Matrix – when they are exposed for the first time to true statements that have never been voiced in college campuses or in the New York Times or in respectable media...

One of those truths is that men, and especially white men, are actively and explicitly discriminated against by the institutions of our society in the name of diversity.
Jacob Savage just wrote what may be the most viral article of the entire year. 

Called “The Lost Generation,” it is about the way that Millennial white men have been discriminated against in prestige institutions...

Offshore Wind Harms National Security | RealClearPolicy

President Trump Should Shut It Down - Steve Cortes

These massive windmill projects are exorbitantly expensive, harmful to the environment, produce little power, and ruin gorgeous natural vistas, from the deserts to the oceans...

• These offshore farms also put our national security at risk. 

Permitted aggressively during the Obama and Biden administrations, these developments pose genuine dangers to U.S. strategic readiness...

• Offshore wind turbines interfere with long-range surveillance systems, particularly the PAVE PAWS network—the Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry Phased Array Warning System. 
• Located on both coasts, its radar arrays track ballistic missile launches, space objects, and foreign military activity. These systems depend on clear, stable electromagnetic environments. 
• Massive steel turbines—hundreds of feet tall, rotating at variable speeds, and clustered across wide swaths of ocean—create moving radar reflections and clutter that degrade detection and tracking...

Delivering!

 

FBI memos detail a half dozen pay-to-play allegations involving Hillary Clinton and her foundation | Just The News

FBI memos detail a half dozen pay-to-play allegations involving Hillary Clinton and her foundation | Just The News: 

nternal investigative files show FBI agents and federal prosecutors attempted to investigate a wide range of activities involving the State Department under then-Secretary of State Clinton a decade ago, including whether foreign donations made to the Clinton Foundation were used as improper influence on U.S. foreign policy.

The FBI and DOJ inquiries were repeatedly shut down by FBI and DOJ leadership. 

Just the News reported earlier this week about Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s release of a timeline written by federal investigators laying out the repeated political obstruction those agents faced from their own bureau bosses and the Justice Department during the 2016 election and beyond as they probed whether Hillary Clinton engaged in a pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation.

Europe is strangling trade, free speech out of existence - Washington Times

The EU imposes its leftist ideals on everyone else -  Tim Murtaugh 

Europe occasionally needs a good talking to and a reminder that the United States of America is not subservient to the continent.

• The European Union, a technocratic superstate where laws are written by committees no one elected and enforced by regulators no one can fire, has adopted two radical regulatory schemes based on environmentalism and social justice. 
• They apply to any company with a European presence of any kind. 

With them, the EU is trying to reach into America and impose its leftist ideals on private companies here.
The names of the regulations are so spectacularly bureaucratic that they sound like they were made up.

• The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires vast, audited “sustainability” disclosures for companies that do any business in the EU...
