12/30 - VIGILANT NEWS - CNN Ends Segment After Defense of Biden Falls Apart
ABBY PHILLIP: “I’m still waiting to see the proof of Joe Biden enriching himself. I take his brother and his son, perhaps.”
REP. MIKE LAWLER: “I’ll give you the direct line. A Chinese company transferred money to a shell company owned by Hunter and Jim Biden that then transferred money directly to Jim and Sarah Biden’s shell company that then transferred the money to Jim and Sarah’s personal account, who then immediately wrote a check for $40,000 to Joe Biden. So to say that there was no evidence is not true.”
ABBY PHILLIP: “Trump was president for four years. He wanted to charge Joe Biden. Why did the charges not come? And I think that still remains an open question. If there is something illegal happening here, there should be charges on the basis of what you’re saying, and there have not been.”
REP. MIKE LAWLER: “Well, he just pardoned Hunter for an 11-year time period.”
SCOTT JENNINGS: “He just wiped the slate! Jim will be next.”
ABBY PHILLIP: “Hang on, guys.” (Ends segment)

12/30 - THE GUARDIAN - Biden Says He Would Have Defeated Trump
Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election – despite negative poll indications, White House sources have said.
The US president has reportedly also said he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general – reflecting that Garland, a former US appeals court judge, was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection while presiding over a justice department that aggressively[?] prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter.

12/29 - Council on Foreign Relations July 22, 2024 - Crossing the Darién Gap
As the number of migrants grows — with more than half a million making the trek in 2023 — so too does the impact on the Indigenous communities whose lands they often traverse. International aid organizations have sought to manage the crisis by setting up temporary housing and providing basic services to those arriving in Panama, even as the Panamanian government has announced new measures to crack down on migrants and asylum seekers entering the country.
Economic insecurity, political upheaval, violence, and climate change[*] are driving tens of millions of people from their home countries, according to World Bank experts[*]. At the same time, the lifting of COVID-19 border restrictions has reopened many travel routes across Latin America. Most migrants are ultimately headed for the southern U.S. border, where they hope to receive asylum. But many coming from the Caribbean and South America first have to cross the sixty-mile-wide Darién Gap...
According to the Panamanian government, a record number of more than 520,000 migrants crossed the Darién Gap en route to the United States in 2023, over double the number reported the year before and up from just a couple hundred people annually a decade ago. Approximately one-fifth of those who made the crossing were children. The majority of migrants were from Venezuela, followed by Ecuador and Haiti, but some hailed from as far away as Angola, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.

12/29 - CSIS - Key Decision Point Coming for the Panama Canal
Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)
The Panama Canal sits at the nexus of international political and economic concerns. Following the Canal’s expansion in 2016, the waterway annually registers nearly 14,000 transits, a value equal to 6 percent of global trade. The Canal’s global shipping role has only increased amid the disruption of global supply chains during the Covid-19 pandemic and U.S. calls for nearshoring away from China. The United States remains the top user of the Canal—in 2019, 66 percent of the cargo traffic transiting the Canal began or ended its journey at a U.S. port; cargo from or destined to China made up 13 percent of Canal traffic. Still, China is the primary source of products going through the Colón Free Trade Zone and its increasing presence in and around the Canal has made the waterway a flashpoint for U.S.-China competition over spheres of influence. China’s influence in the Panama Canal has only grown since 2017 when then-president Carlos Varela severed diplomatic ties with Taiwan and recognized China, further opening the door to China’s expanded footprint in critical Canal infrastructure and laying the groundwork for alignment with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
...
Given that large fractions of Chinese economic profits, and thus business relations, are driven by a select few families, the United States will need to craft a unique approach to reinforcing its own presence in Panama and particularly around the Canal. Using the Biden administration’s strategy toward Central America as a framework, investment in the Panama Canal can fall under efforts to enhance security and strengthen regional transparency to bolster strong governance and the rule of law. The United States can work with the ACP to counter corruption in public contract awards related to Canal infrastructure projects, strengthening the Canal’s operational transparency. Here too, the United States can engage on security issues, supporting inspections training and anti-trafficking operations in the Canal to combat ongoing drug trafficking and smuggling. The integration of the Panama Canal into a broader Central America strategy will require increased U.S. engagement with Panama itself, with the added benefit of rivaling China not only in the Canal but in the broader region.

12/28 - TOWNHALL - The Difficulty of Freedom
“Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom.” (Alexis de Tocqueville)
There have actually been people in history who have found slavery to be more comfortable than freedom, and indeed, I would argue that many such individuals exist today. They would rather be taken care of by the government (or, socialism) than risk the “freedom of opportunity” necessary to provide for themselves. Sadly, that just feeds the egos and lusts of power-hungry politicians who live to control other people and tell them what to do. And when you control somebody’s finances, you definitely control them. Congress can’t even go home for Christmas until they try to pass some kind of budget that gives them trillions of dollars to spend to enslave the masses.
We today don’t call such government oppression “slavery” (our Founding Fathers did), but in one sense, that is exactly what it is. People are “enslaved” if it is only the government which allows them to have and do. “Allowed freedom” is not freedom, it is indeed another term for slavery.

12/23 - TOWNHALL - Incompetence Occurs in the Red Sea
Two U.S. Navy aviators are safe after their two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet was shot down by an American ship by mistake, according to a late Saturday statement from U.S. Central Command.
The Super Hornet, assigned to aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), was flying over the Red Sea when guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG-64) fired upon it, according to the CENTCOM statement.
“Both pilots were safely recovered. Initial assessments indicate that one of the crew members sustained minor injuries,” reads a statement from CENTCOM.
“This incident was not the result of hostile fire, and a full investigation is underway.”

12/19 - TOWNHALL - Who Came Up With the Idea to Bus Illegal Immigrants to Sanctuary Cities?
During an interview with Tucker Carlson, President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar [Tom Homan] explained who originally came up with the idea to send illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities.
“It was President Trump,” he said. “I remember sitting in the Oval Office once [sic] time and he said, ‘Why don’t we do that?’ So we started putting plans together, but the Remain in Mexico program was such a game changer we couldn’t fill a bus up if we wanted to, so we beat the problem before we actually got to that.”
Carlson said the efforts by Republican governors to send illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities should’ve been more focused on wealthy neighborhoods—the neighborhoods of people “who are calling you racist for wanting laws and borders. They need to feel the effects of their own destruction, so just text me and I will send you the zip codes.”

12/17 - OCPadrino - Syrian Rebels Take Over
12/14 - MEGYN KELLY SHOW - CNN Report Showing Dramatic Moment Syrian Prisoner Is Rescued
It has been nearly a week since the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, ending some 50 years of brutal dictatorship. After more than a decade of civil war in the country, the collapse of the Assad government was swift as Islamist rebels took control. In the process, the brutal detention facilities Assad used to hold, torture, and kill rebel prisoners have been emptied.
CNN chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward is one of the American journalists who has been reporting from the ground in Syria. She made international headlines earlier this week when her team seemingly captured the moment a prisoner was found locked inside a jail cell.
Mediaite reporter Charlie Nash was among those who voiced skepticism in a thread on X. Calling it an “extremely bizarre video,” Nash said the reporting raises a “huge number of questions.”
Those included the state of the alleged prisoner. “Presumably, the man did not hear the guard shooting the lock off his door, or the camera crew calling out to him from a few feet away,” Nash tweeted. “But he appears to be in remarkably good condition. He is quickly on his feet and in conversation. He can hear the guard and the CNN crew.”
Nash also took issue with the fact that the man was not immediately taken to receive medical care – something he called “the logical thing to do with a man who has been in a windowless cell for three months” and “without food [and] water for four days.”

“She will be appointed by, and work closely with, our next head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, who I will announce soon, to ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

12/12 - TOWNHALL - Stay Five Feet From the Secret Service
On September 15, Ryan Wesley Routh was trying to assassinate now-President-elect Donald J. Trump as he was golfing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. He hid in the bushes for 12 hours, armed with a scoped SKS-style rifle and GoPro. Trump got within 300-500 yards of Mr. Routh, who was in range to take a shot. Blessedly, he didn’t.
A Secret Service agent saw a rifle barrel pointing out of the shrubbery and opened fire, engaging Routh, who fled the scene. He was arrested by local police later. Yet, while this was the correct course of action in protecting Mr. Trump, it’s a bit startling, and not in a good way, that this agent, who was reportedly five feet away from Routh, fired six shots and missed him.

12/11 - STOSSEL TV (YouTube) - Why Government Can’t Build... Anything!
The government promised to expand broadband, build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers, and to bring back semiconductor jobs. They delivered delays, waste, and failure. Why? Because they spend your money, not their own.
After three years and $65 billion spent to expand broadband, not a single person has yet been connected.
Also, two years into Biden's $7.5 billion EV charging stations initiative, which was supposed to build 500,000 stations, only seven have been built. [... and they are backed by diesel generators]
The CHIPS Act promised to bring semiconductor jobs back to America. But the money got tied up in DEI quotas, climate pledges, and union mandates.
When bureaucrats spend other people's money, they have little incentive to spend it carefully.

12/10 - PJ MEDIA - Mainstream Media Admits Obamacare Is a Failure
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), more commonly referred to as Obamacare, was signed into law by then-President Barack Obama in March 2010. According to the law’s proponents, Obamacare would expand access to affordable health insurance, improve healthcare quality, and reduce costs.
Well, the media is finally admitting Obamacare hasn’t made health insurance more affordable — a stunning admission, considering “affordable” is quite literally in the official name of the law. No one can pretend that making health insurance more affordable for Americans wasn’t the supposed point of the law. Yet it seems like each year, health insurance not only costs more but covers less.
And now the media is finally willing to admit it — even if they’re not saying it directly.
“Health insurance costs are far outpacing inflation, leaving more consumers on the hook each year for thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses,” reports CBS News. “At the same time, some insurers are rejecting nearly 1 in 5 claims. That double whammy is leaving Americans paying more for coverage yet sometimes feeling like they're getting less in return, experts say.”

On the same day as the breach announcement, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi purchased $4 million worth of call options in Palo Alto Networks, a leading cybersecurity firm, which resulted in her making a staggering $11.9 million in profits before tax.
What are the odds that Pelosi invested in Palo Alto Networks on the same day United Healthcare experienced a cybersecurity breach? Later, she profits significantly when that company is tasked with investigating the incident.

12/6 - TOWNHALL - Why exactly would Dr. Fauci Need a Pardon?
... the White House is reportedly scrambling to potentially and pre-emetively pardon Dr. Anthony Fauci, Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff and others ahead of President-elect Trump's second term.
But why exactly would Fauci, who hasn't formally been criminally charged with a federal crime, need a pardon?
His illegal funding of "gain-of-function" research, essentially the frankensteining of dangerous viruses, is a good place to start. Especially given COVID-19 killed millions, destroyed the global economy and shattered countless lives.
Next, Fauci could be prosecuted for repeatedly lying to Congress about funding gain-of-function research. In fact, his lies were eventually called out by the very agency he used to run.

It wasn’t just a health crisis; it was a global catastrophe that upended economies, disrupted societies, and exposed the deep flaws in how we handle public health and governance. As the world shut down in response to the pandemic, we saw contradictions, confusion, and selective leadership decisions that made everything worse. The world’s reaction to COVID-19 wasn’t just about a virus—it was about power, control, and broken systems. Who was the mouthpiece? Dr. Anthony Fauci.
