Bribing the media!-----Biden Admin Pays Anti-Israel Group That Spreads Lies About Gaza War To Fight 'Disinformation'

Biden Admin Pays Anti-Israel Group That Spreads Lies About Gaza War To Fight 'Disinformation' - Chuck Ross 

• The Biden administration, in its efforts to fight the spread of disinformation in the Middle East, awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to an anti-Israel nonprofit that has pushed fake news about the Israel-Hamas war.

"The State Department gave $573,000 on Oct. 1 to MENAACTION Inc., a Virginia-based nonprofit, to protect "media and society against disinformation" and to train Jordanian journalists how to identify "fake news," according to federal spending records...

Cofounder Chris Aboukhaled pushed Hamas’s claim that Israel bombed Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza. 

The rocket that struck the hospital was actually fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another terrorist group in Gaza...

Javier Milei Takes Office in Argentina, and His First Move Immediately Triggers All the Right People

Javier Milei Takes Office in Argentina, and His First Move Immediately Triggers All the Right People - By Bonchie 

"For the first time in decades, Argentina is no longer ruled by socialists. 

Libertarian-leaning President Javier Milei was officially sworn in on Sunday, marking a major turning point in the country's battle against hyperinflation and economic decline.

• In November, Argentina reached 183 percent inflation for 2023, impoverishing around 40 percent of the country, a reality that helped sweep Milei into power. 
• Now, he's taking action, with his first move in office being an executive order that slashes the number of government ministries from 21 to nine. 

Among those put on the chopping block was the ministry of "women, genders, and diversity," a move he recently telegraphed in his criticisms of "social justice."

• It didn't take long for the hand-wringing to begin in the press. 

PBS News published an article dripping with sanctimony, claiming that Milei's ideas are "outlandish" and "radical." 

What makes that so ironic is that the very same article admits that Argentina is in dire straits...

Pro-Palestinian Radicals Target Symbols of Christianity

Pro-Palestinian Radicals Target Symbols of Christianity: 

Radical pro-Palestinian demonstrations appear to have developed a new tactic: they are targeting Christmas tree lightings across the country, and other Christian symbols, in addition to symbols of Israel and Jewish institutions.

The latest example was Friday’s protest in Los Angeles, where pro-Palestinian radicals marched from a fundraiser for President Joe Biden to an area where there are several synagogues. They sprayed anti-Israel graffiti on the walls opposite the synagogues, and also vandalized a local church.

Overhaul of Civil Asset Forfeiture is Making Progress in Congress

Two heroes of the eco-loon-left, concoct conflicting, death-to-civilization schemes!----- The disagreement between two climate scientists that will decide our future

The disagreement between two climate scientists that will decide our future - Robert Chris, Hugh Hunt

"Getting to net zero emissions by mid-century is conventionally understood as humanity’s best hope for keeping Earth’s surface temperature (already 1.2°C above its pre-industrial level) from increasing well beyond 1.5°C – potentially reaching a point at which it could cause widespread societal breakdown.
At least one prominent climate scientist, however, disagrees.

• James Hansen of Columbia University in the US published a paper with colleagues in November which claims temperatures are set to rise further and faster than the predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In his view, the 1.5°C target is dead. He also claims net zero is no longer sufficient to prevent warming of more than 2°C. To regain some control over Earth’s rising temperature, Hansen supports accelerating the retirement of fossil fuels, greater cooperation between major polluters that accommodates the needs of the developing world and, controversially, intervening in Earth’s “radiation balance” (the difference between incoming and outgoing light and heat) to cool the planet’s surface...

• Michael Mann from the University of Pennsylvania in the US and another titan of climate science, spoke for many when he dismissed solar radiation management as “potentially very dangerous” and a “desperate action” motivated by the “fallacy … that large-scale warming will be substantially greater than (Mann's) current-generation models project”.

Their positions are irreconcilable. So who is right – Hansen or Mann? (Answer? Neither!)

'Unspeakable barbarity': Steven Spielberg finally speaks out about Hamas' attacks against Israel on Oct. 7 | Blaze Media: 

Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg finally decided to speak out about Hamas' terrorist attack against Israel on October 7. The comments surfaced in a feature published by the Shoah Foundation earlier this month.

The Shoah Foundation was founded by Spielberg in 1994, and its mission is to "give opportunity to survivors and witnesses to the Shoah — the genocide of the Jews — to tell their own stories in their own words in audio-visual interviews, preserve their testimonies, and make them accessible for research, education, and outreach for the betterment of humankind in perpetuity."

• Believe it or not, crime is starting to go down.

"...Like many red states run by pro-decarceration Republicans, Tennessee's violent crime rate has steadily increased since its lows in 2013, culminating in the horrific crime wave of 2020-2021...

However, Congress passed several tough crime measures aimed at lengthening the sentences of violent offenders.

Who Is Sara Biden? Joe’s In-Law Emerges as Central Figure in Foreign Cash Deals - RealClearInvestigations

Who Is Sara Biden? Joe’s In-Law Emerges as Central Figure in Foreign Cash Deals - By Paul Sperry 

• Trouble has followed Sara Catherine Jones since she married into the Biden family almost three decades ago.

"Not long after her 1995 wedding to Jim Biden, she took a job with one of his brother Joe’s Senate donors, who later accused her of “fraud” and “unjust enrichment,” according to court records reviewed by RealClearInvestigations. 

In the years since, she and her husband have been accused of reneging on debts and failing to pay their taxes, court and property records show. 

Like their nephew, first son Hunter Biden, they have reportedly sold the promise of access to their powerful relative to companies, several of which have gone bankrupt, some of which are tied to foreign countries hostile to the United States.

• Now, Sara Jones Biden has emerged as a key figure in the mushrooming Biden foreign influence-peddling scandal...

The Rotten Core Of College Campuses

The Rotten Core Of College Campuses - About The Volokh Conspiracy - JOSH BLACKMAN

"...Regrettably, as soon as Israel was established, the millennia-long train of anti-semitism simply morphed into its latest manifestation: anti-Zionism...

This doctrine was dressed up in all the academic garb of Marxism, anti-colonialism, and critical racial studies. 

Anti-Zionism was championed by elite academics on campuses.

DEI apparatchiks, ostensibly hired to promote equity, reified the anti-Zionist trope.

Students, who are woefully unfamiliar with world history, see the children of the Holocaust as just another oppressor. 

And, as they are taught, any act of resistance against the oppressors is not only justified, but necessary. The right type of violence demands silence.

• The "gotcha" questions about whether a call for genocide is anti-semitic largely misses the mark. 
• The deeper question is why are elites, in every civilization, drawn to theories that antagonize the Jews...

Most students at Yale received A's last year, frustrated professors say it's 'dishonest to our students' | Blaze Media: 

Anew report recently revealed that Yale University is apparently handing about grades in the A-range like they are candy. An estimated 78.97% of all the grades given to undergraduates at the prestigious university fell within the A-range.

The surprising development has left both students and faculty alarmed that high grades appear to have lost their value, according to the New York Times. Shelly Kagan, a philosophy professor, said: "When we act as though virtually everything that gets turned in is some kind of A — where A is supposedly meaning ‘excellent work’ — we are simply being dishonest to our students."

'Pathological Liar' or 'Brave' Victim? The Curious Case of the 'Islamophobic Hate Crime' at Stanford

'Pathological Liar' or 'Brave' Victim? The Curious Case of the 'Islamophobic Hate Crime' at Stanford - VICTORIA TAFT

"On November 3, 2023, a Syrian computer science student left a pro-Hamas sit-in protest at Stanford University...

As he was leaving the sit-in, Abdulwahab Omira was injured by a white man driving an SUV as he crossed one of the campus's many traffic circles. The white man wearing glasses yelled at him, "F**k you and your people!" A hate crime was immediately reported to the Stanford Department of Public Safety, which quickly fired off a campus bulletin about the drive-by hate crime...

But there's a problem with the story.
Since the incident, if there was one, queries to police agencies investigating the hate crime have gone unanswered except for the statement that they're no longer overseeing the investigation...
But there is another story told by his classmates that hasn't surfaced...

UN's COP28 climate summit offers burgers, ribs while United Nations lectures everyone not to eat meat | Blaze Media: 

The United Nations has been lecturing everyone not to eat meat for years and is expected to soon release a report calling for reduced meat consumption. Yet in a hypocritical development, meat is prominently featured on the menu at the United Nations' COP28 climate summit. Fox News reported, "Among the food options offered for attendees are The Hungry Hub, which offers beef and meat; Philly Jawn by Ghostburger, which offers burgers and Philly cheesesteaks; Swaggers, which offers smoked ribs and smoked wagyu burgers; and Mattar Farm Live Cooking, which serves 'unbelievable smoked meats' and 'melt-in-your-mouth BBQ.'"

• Gay’s Role in the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal

The previous Edgerley Family Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences who Gay replaced in 2018, Michael Smith, had drawn too much heat for the numerous scandals he himself was embroiled in… such as the fact that he had approved Jeffrey Epstein's phone & office (the Program on Evolutionary Dynamics is part of FAS). 

Claudine Gay allowed Michael Smith to get away scot-free in the Harvard-Epstein ties investigation — she came in and nicely whitewashed it all away.

I served with Tlaib In the legislature-she is evil personified!...

Representatives Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Cori Bush (D-MO) held a press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday, demanding a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, while accusing Israel of war crimes and genocide.

Tlaib said: “And let me be clear about what’s happening: These are war crimes. The targeting of civilians is a war crime; the targeting of medical facilities is a war crime, the starvation and withholding of water and electricity is a war crime; the collective punishment of 2.3 million people is a war crime, and we refuse to be silent.”...

University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill Resigns After Failure to Condemn Antisemitism: 

Magill and the presidents of Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) faced intense backlash after they declined to say during the hearing whether advocating for the genocide of Jews is permissible on campus.

After Magill’s failure during the congressional hearing, the university president attempted to walk back her remarks — or lack thereof — by releasing a video clarifying that calling for the genocide of Jewish people would, in fact, be harassment on campus.

And they own Chrysler!-----Fiat Sold Less Than One Car Per Dealership Last Quarter - The Autopian

Fiat Sold Less Than One Car Per Dealership Last Quarter

"...Specifically: there are more Fiat dealerships in the U.S. than the number of cars it sold last quarter.
Do the math, and you’ll realize that means a great proportion of Fiat dealerships actually failed to sell a single car in three whole months. 

The numbers are stark. There are 359 Fiat dealerships across the country, but the brand sold just 145 vehicles for the whole of Q3...
Let’s put that number into context. 

Fiat sold a full 50 cars in its best month this year. 

• By contrast, Ford has sold an average of 78 F-Series trucks per hour in 2023. 
• Chevrolet sold an average of 51 Silverados per hour, just topping Fiat’s best month. 
• Even the Toyota RAV4 is selling around 1,000 examples a day, which is more than Fiat has sold all year...

Lest We Forget - by Michael Smith - Unlicensed Punditry

• The DC two-step is designed to make us forget the bad behavior of our leaders.

"A quick recap of what we knew in 2020, but are beginning to forget just three years later:

• Ukraine actually DID interfere in the 2016 elections based on Ukrainian court records.
• Burisma was being investigated far longer than the Democrats claim.
• Burisma's president was involved in missing American aid to Ukraine - that aid money was transferred to a bank he controlled.
• There was at least $7 billion in US taxpayer aid missing in Ukraine.

Hunter Biden traded on his father's name to make millions in Ukraine...

• These things are important, but thanks to David Weisman slow walking this case so that the years of 2014 and 2015 fell out due to the statute of limitations it's almost as if it never happened...

People forget the Bidens were associated with a company, Burisma, that was generally considered one of (if not the most) corrupt companies in Ukraine. 

Its president owned PrivatBank, the bank which billions in US aid was transferred through and subsequently went missing. 

One must remember, during this period when billions of taxpayer dollars were flowing into Ukrainian banks - and vanishing like flash paper in a magic act.

• It is not much of a stretch of logic to deduce the money used to pay the Bidens was not Ukrainian or Russian - it belonged to the American taxpayer.
• If proven, it means Hunter and Joe not only perpetrated fraud, they perpetrated fraud on the American people.

Lest we forget.
