Wayne Allen Root contributor to TownHall: Now let me let you in on a terrible secret. My insider health care sources are reporting so many victims are filing reports with VAERS that the system is hopelessly overwhelmed and backed up. There may be 20,000 or 40,000 or 60,000 more deaths waiting to be processed into the VAERS system. They tell me the numbers are staggering.
J.B. Shurk contributor to American Thinker: . . . this “Great Reset” planned takeover of the world through the subterfuge of a “health emergency” is beginning to sever the globalists’ hypnotic control over the people, and those in power seem blind to what’s surely coming next.
Craig J. Cantoni contributor to The Prickly Pear: As with so much of what passes today for enlightenment, open-mindedness and diversity and inclusion, the disproportionate appearance of blacks in commercials will do little if anything to raise the abysmal grades and test scores of African-American students, or to reduce the horrendous murder rates in inner-cities, or to reduce the high incidence of African-American kids raised without a father in the household, or to transform African-American slums from crime-ridden drug bazaars to safe, clean and prosperous communities.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) held a press conference on Friday: “In yesterday’s budget, I put in $8 million for us to be able to transport people here illegally out of the state of Florida. It’s somewhat tongue in cheek, but it is true, if you sent them to Delaware or Martha’s Vineyard or some of these places, that border would be secure the next day.”
Julie Kelly contributor to American Greatness interviewed Victoria White who was severely beaten on January 6th: “If I don’t stand up and speak out, who will? All the J6 defendants deserve someone to stand up and speak for them. I have made mistakes but if God is willing to use me and my story, whatever horrible things come, I am willing to do that. t’s time to stand up for ourselves, our country, and for God.”
Robin Dole daughter of former Senator Dole (R-KS), read her father’s farewell letter at his funeral: “As I make the final walk on my life’s journey, I do so without fear. Because I know that I will, again, not be walking alone. I know that God will be walking with me,. I also confess that I’m a bit curious to learn and find if I am correct in thinking that heaven will look a lot like Kansas and to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago.”
IRS
Jacobs: Why Did The IRS Audit Donald Trump, But Not Joe Biden?
Is Lois Lerner in charge of determining which politicians to audit at the IRS? That’s a relevant question from a recent Washington Post article looking into Joe Biden’s taxes. The Post received confirmation that the Internal Revenue Service declined to audit Biden’s returns from the years before he became president. But separate reporting confirmed that the IRS did audit Donald Trump’s returns from the years before he became president. This raises an obvious question: Why the disparity? This important question comes as Democrats want to give the IRS $80 billion in new funding over a decade, along with new enforcement authority—including to obtain additional information about ordinary Americans’ bank accounts. It also applies to a government agency that, thanks to Lerner, harassed conservative non-profits, and faces unanswered questions about the mysterious leak of tax records to the leftist website ProPublica. Given these developments, it’s worth asking whether the audit disparity represents another instance of federal bureaucrats politicizing the tax code—and whether such an agency deserves even more funding and power.[…] Of course, there’s one way to find out.

DURHAM INVESITGATION
Ross: Jake Sullivan’s Wife Faces Growing Calls for Recusal From Durham Probe
A top adviser to Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing calls to recuse herself from the Justice Department’s investigation of the Trump-Russia probe, which has looked into the actions of her husband, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. Margaret Goodlander serves as counsel to Garland, who oversees Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation. Garland has oversight of Durham’s budget, the scope of the investigation, and the release of a report Durham is believed to be writing. Sullivan, who married Goodlander in 2015, has been referenced in Durham’s indictment of a cybersecurity lawyer who worked for the Clinton campaign. While there is no indication that Durham is targeting Sullivan, the national security adviser could be a witness for the investigation given that he was a foreign policy adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Durham’s report could also reveal embarrassing details about Sullivan’s work on the campaign to dig up dirt on Donald Trump’s possible links to Russia.

GOP
Bannons War Room (12/10/2021) Republican Party Senators Just Sold Out The Nation
It’s the economy stupid! And the economy is a disaster. That’s the message today as inflation was reported to be rising at an annual rate of 6.8 percent. But Congress doesn’t get it, and yesterday Mitch McConnell gave cover to the Biden Regime to spend an additional $2.5 trillion and feed the inflationary spiral. Listen to Steve Bannon take down McConnell in Part 1, and then in Part 2 watch as he eviscerates Democrat apparatchik James Carville (who invented “It’s the economy, stupid”) as an irrelevant elf trying to prop up Biden. In Part 3, Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn takes you through the polls showing that the American people are waking up to the horror show that is the Biden regime.

Saavedra: DeSantis’ New Florida Budget Includes Millions To Begin Deporting Illegal Aliens Out Of Florida
“One of the priorities that we’ve been working on for many months now, and we’ll continue to work with the legislature when they get back is dealing with the fallout from the reckless border policies of the Biden administration,” DeSantis said. “We have a responsibility to stand up for the rule of law, we have a responsibility to the Constitution, and we have a responsibility to stand up against an administration that has decided they don’t want to have a secure border.” DeSantis’ office said that the legislative proposal: . . .

Lifson: Expert troll: DeSantis budgets $8 million to transport illegal aliens sent to Florida to places like Delaware and Martha’s Vineyard
This is brilliant on multiple grounds: Any protest against, say, a planeload of illegals landing at Martha’s Vineyard Airport, would only highlight the point that illegals are being flown at taxpayer expense to states far from the border – in the dead of night, often. 2. . . . 3. . . . 4. . . . […] Now, let’s just lay in a supply of popcorn and wait fior the reaction when the illegals arrive in Wilmington and Martha’s Vineyard.

GOVERNMENT HAS SEIZED CONTROL OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
Karp, M.D.: The Medical Profession Implodes
In “normal” times, the practice of medicine has many challenges, some from within and some from outside the profession. If you let it, much of your daily practice follows specialty guidelines, insurance company criteria, hospital formularies, and other annoyances. None of those entities have any liability when it comes to our patients. For the most part, liability lies with the treating physician. […] What changed overnight and across the board, was an anti-science attitude across all specialties to everything related to COVID. A viral infection is not something requiring government management, rather, its encounter is part of a physician’s daily medical practice. […] Regarding the lapse of critical thinking skills, here are some examples that should have given physicians pause in digesting the propaganda diet they were fed. If I can easily spread COVID to someone by breathing on them, why is there the need to swab the deep recesses of the nose? Why is the PCR test’s methodology omitted from reports sent to physicians? When were masks ever recommended except for those with a known contagious disease such as active tuberculosis, or those with transient low white blood cell counts? When has gene therapy ever been used other than in incurable diseases?

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERIC
Goodman: Biden Megadonor Scores $500 Million Federal Loan for Solar Company
Politically connected First Solar also secured $3 billion in loan guarantees from Obama administration. […] The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation granted the loan to First Solar, which is owned by billionaire Walmart heir Lukas Walton, to build a solar module plant in India. Walton contributed over $300,000 to President Joe Biden’s campaign last year, and over $100,000 to the Democratic National Committee, according to campaign finance records. […] First Solar came under scrutiny in 2012, when the GOP-led House Oversight Committee investigated a series of Department of Energy loans issued to solar companies by the Obama administration. The investigation was prompted by a scandal involving another politically connected solar energy company, Solyndra, which had declared bankruptcy and defaulted on a $500 million federal loan.

Taer: EXCLUSIVE: ‘Take Migrants At Their Word’: Republicans Criticize Process Allowing Illegal Immigrants To Get Through Airport Security Without ID
“When I asked a border patrol officer about TSA allowing migrants to fly with no identification, they told me a Notice to Appear is not sufficient identification and they often have to take migrants at their word that they are who they say they are,” Gooden said. “TSA and non-profit groups are putting millions of Americans travelling for Christmas at risk by allowing these unknown and unvetted migrants to board planes and fly across the country.” […] “Does the risk outweigh the need to put them on an aircraft? That’s the issue at the end of the day is the more and more of these individuals who are flying without legitimate documentation, the risk profile increases and the more they do that the more risk DHS and TSA is assuming,” Wolf said. “What I would argue is you don’t have to take on that risk. They’re choosing to take on that risk when they put them on commercial aircraft.”

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CRT (WOKE IDENTITY POLITICS)
Horowitz: Woke companies that funded BLM agenda now complain about looters, thieves on the loose
We definitely need to get tougher on sentencing looters and store robbers, but we should exempt those criminals from prison time if they loot one of the big corporations that helped spawn this epidemic of shoplifting to begin with. Last week, the Retail Industry Leaders Association, representing 20 major retailers, sent a letter to Congress asking legislators to deal with the growing theft, shoplifting, and “smash-and-grab” mob attacks on retail stores. The corporations represented include giants like Target, Best Buy, Nordstrom, Home Depot, and CVS.

Cantoni: From a Mobster to a Privileged White Racist
In the name of wokeness, one ugly slur has been replaced by another. Warning: The following is a representative sample of past and present racial/ethnic slurs and stereotypes. If you grit your teeth and bear with it, you’ll see why they’re repeated here. […] Then there is my own race/ethnicity. Italians were known throughout much of the 20th century as dagos, wops, greasers, guineas, and mobsters. In fact, the Italian section of St. Louis, which was the home of my parents and grandparents, was known as Dago Hill when I was a kid. It wasn’t just Southern white supremacists who were prejudiced against Italians but also Yankee bluebloods. Offensive, eh? Well, here is an offensive slur and stereotype in vogue today: Whites are racist, privileged, and fragile. The people who say this see themselves as woke, open-minded, enlightened, educated, and anti-racist. Actually, they are the opposite.

Goldman: Teachers shouldn’t have to pass a political test
What are the characteristics of a good teacher? Many would cite qualities such as mastery of the relevant subjects and high academic standards. Others might stress a positive attitude and engaging classroom manner. For most people, political opinions are likely to rank low among these priorities. According to a report in EdWeek, though, that’s what an increasing number of public schools are emphasizing. Adopting a practice that’s already widespread in higher education, many districts are now considering applicants’ “cultural competency.” In other words, they’re making progressive political views a requirement of the job.

Zeisloft: Maryland Spent $93 Million Educating Kids Who Weren’t In School
Project Baltimore — the investigative journalism arm of FOX45 Baltimore — discovered that thousands of students had been marked “whereabouts unknown” by their schools. The outlet identified several “ghost students” whose name appeared on rosters even after they had stopped pursuing public education — which “can boost the amount of money a school receives.” In 2019, there were 6,126 such students. In the same year, Maryland schools received an average of $15,148 per student — meaning that up to $92,796,648 in education dollars could not be found. “The fact that we’re funding students whose whereabouts are unknown and not a small number, thousands, and it adds up to tens of millions of dollars, that’s something that needs to be looked at,” […] In July, another Project Baltimore investigation showed that four in ten Baltimore public high school students earned a 1.0 GPA during the last school year:

Lindquist: Arizona High School Halts Transgender Spirit Week After Outcry From Parents
A public records request revealed that parents at Estrella Foothills High School in Goodyear, Ariz., successfully halted a Transgender Awareness Week that aimed to push left-wing gender theory on the school community. The week originally included a variety of different activities, including wearing name tags with students’ pronouns, wearing rainbow colors to celebrate the LGBT movement, and another day on which students were instructed to wear blue, white, and pink, the colors of the transgender flag. The spirit week was being hosted by Estrella Foothill High School’s Coexist club.The club also made an Instagram post encouraging students to donate to the National Center for Transgender Equality, a far-left organization that advocates for boys to be able to use girls’ restrooms in schools, a policy that threatens the safety of young women.

Jacobson: How Parents Can Frame The Media Narrative And Counter False Messaging
My presentation at the Parents Unite conference: “Framing the narrative, I think at this stage, is really counter-framing the narrative, because we are up against an extremely organized and well-funded movement to push euphemistically called ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,’ and race-based teaching throughout education.”
