Daily News Roundup
NOTABLE QUOTES
J.R. Dunn contributor to American Thinker explains why he wants Donald Trump to run again: There’s a commonplace storyline to be found repeated across the ages. It’s a version of the Little Tailor that is present in the Aenied, Red Harvest, Yojimbo, A Fistful of Dollars. A man appears to clean up a bad town. He works cleverly against seemingly unbeatable enemies, until, waking up at last to the threat he represents, they get the drop on him, beat him to a pulp, and dump him out in the brush. So what does he do? He gets up, he brushes himself off, and he goes back, tougher and wiser, and brings the whole rotten structure down. Simply put, this tells us the major reason why Donald Trump needs to run again – because that rotten town is still standing, and ripe to be taken down.
Edward Ring contributor to American Greatness: The globalist climate agenda is more than a misguided but well-intentioned mistake. It is a monstrous crime against humanity, promulgated by some of the most dangerous people who have ever lived. It is a brazen lie for any of them to claim that we are dangerous if we do not think the world is coming to an end, are not promoting panic and fear, and wish to see citizens of all nations achieve prosperity.
John Hinderaker co-founder of Powerline Blog: Food shortages are already appearing around the world, but liberals are undeterred. Which raises the question: will Americans actually vote for less agriculture, higher food prices, and mass starvation in the world’s poorer precincts?
Dostoyevsky, The Idiot: “I have found from many observations that our liberals are incapable of allowing anyone to have his own convictions and immediately answer their opponent with abuse or something worse.”
John Nantz contributor to Frontpage Magazine: The nice thing about professional Democrats is you can always count on them to respond to self-interest. Psaki, as are most other Democrats, is fleeing like a greasy rat from a sinking ship. Republicans just need to clip a few pages from the Trump playbook and man-up, take a stand, and pit themselves against the entrenched deep state — for a change.
Haley Kynefin contributor to Brownstone Institute: It’s time to bring things back to a fundamental, universal, mythological level. As we are told, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution will impact our lives completely. It will not only change how we communicate, how we produce, how we consume…It will change, actually, us: our own identity.” This is an existential, mythic moment, during which we have to decide: what forces are we going to allow to shape our identities? Our social infrastructure? Our cultural landscapes? Do we even want them to be changed? If so, in what ways? What is it that makes us human? And are we okay with someone, or anyone, trying to redefine that?
Margot Cleveland is The Federalist’s senior legal correspondent: But contrary to Biden’s claim, Democrats are not seeking to “codify” abortion law as it existed prior to Dobbs overturning Roe and Casey. Today’s mainstream Democrats seek to cement an extreme regime of abortion on demand, for any reason, at any time, and paid for by taxpayers, in the states’ constitutions.
Robert Spencer contributor to Frontpage Magazine: What’s happening in Iran is the biggest women’s rights protest ever in the Islamic world. Yet the response from some of the leading feminists in the United States, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, has been strikingly muted. Each one has made what can be characterized at best as a tepid, pro forma response, one that contrasts sharply with their statements and actions during the Trump administration. It looks as if each one of these women regards Donald Trump as a far greater threat to women than the Islamic Republic of Iran is.
Brendan O’Neill Chief Political Writer for Spiked: If you had told me five years ago that I would one day have to write an article explaining that Eddie Izzard is not a woman, I’d have thought you mad. And yet here we are, in 2022, so deep down the rabbit hole of gender insanity that it has become necessary to say that Mr Edward John Izzard, possessor of male genitalia, his entire body hardwired with the XY chromosome, is not a woman. He’s a bloke. However ‘fabulous’ he might have looked in a ‘floral dress’ that ‘flashed a hint of leg’ at the premiere of that new biopic about Bowie – as the Express gushed – he’s still a chap. No amount of pink lippy will change that. He was born male and he will die male.
David Strow contributor to Hot Air: The American Academy of Physicians, the American Medical Association, and the Children’s Hospital Association are now asking the Justice Department to sic the FBI on critics of transgender sterilization and mutilation of children.
Armstrong Williams contributor to American Greatness: Safety in a land without allowing people to exercise their Second Amendment right will become even harder to find. But good people can make America safer with permits in their pockets and holstered guns on their hips.

Solomon: Trump explains why he took DOJ to Supreme Court: Political prosecution ‘has to stop’
Former President Donald Trump says his two most recent legal strikes — suing CNN for defamation and taking the Biden Justice Department to the Supreme Court — aim to restore fairness in America’s courts of law and public opinion. In an interview Tuesday evening hours after his legal team took its battle over presidential records to the nation’s nine justices, Trump told the “Just the News, No Noise” television show that the case was about erasing politics from DOJ and the FBI. He said government agencies treated him far differently than Hilary Clinton, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush when disputes about classified records, missing records or personal materials arose and that his healthy poll numbers are a sign Americans understand he’s being treated differently. “It’s a weaponization by the DOJ. And I think it’s just something that has to stop,” . . .
Dunn: Why Trump Must Run
The final take on the disastrous Mar-a-Lago raid and its noxious aftermath – the latest in a series of “killing blows” aimed at Donald Trump and the movement he created — is that Trump must run once again for president and must win. The logic behind this is simple: the Deep State, in its slow, dull-witted, and utterly inept way, is making its big move, and Trump is the only visible figure who can stand against this. The Left is well aware of this, and is terrified. Consider the timeline: on August 7, the Senate passed the “Inflation Reduction Act,” dramatically expanding government spending, including doubling the size of the IRS. The next day, Mar-a-Lago was raided, permanently rupturing the modus vivendi that has underlain the American political system since its founding. Two days later, it was revealed that the drastically expanded IRS was looking to hire gunmen “willing to use lethal force.” Two days after that, the inflation act was passed by the House. In due time, we got Biden’s Demon Lord speech, which cast over half the populace as enemies of the state, to the delight of the hard Left, followed by Countess Hochula, speaking from her castle deep in the Adirondacks banning Republicans from her realm.

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET) & TRANSHUMANISM (HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED
Ring: The Globalist Climate Agenda is a Crime Against Humanity
“This anti-sustainability backlash, this anti-woke backlash, is incredibly dangerous for the world.” — Alan Jope, CEO, Unilever, speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative. It would not be an exaggeration to say this is probably one of the most inverted takes on what is “dangerous” in the history of civilization. Not because anyone is against the concept of sustainability, but because sustainability as defined by Alan Jope is incredibly unsustainable. If he gets his way, he will destroy the world. Jope, Clinton, the infamous Karl Schwab who heads the World Economic Forum, the ESG movement informally headed by Larry Fink of BlackRock (with over $10 trillion in investments), and all the rest who champion today’s prevailing globalist climate agenda are coercing nearly 8 billion people into an era of poverty and servitude.

Kliegman: Firearms dealers now required to provide buyers’ addresses to feds for denied transactions
As part of a sweeping change that has gun rights groups alarmed, federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) are now required to provide the FBI with the personal addresses of individuals whose attempted purchases were denied. In turn, the FBI must now provide details of the failed transactions — not only those denied but also those just delayed — and the personal information of the rejected individuals to local law enforcement, raising fears of greater government infringement on the Second Amendment. The changes were quietly implemented last week by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to comply with new federal law.

The Center Square Staff: GOP senators push back against New York bank’s anti-firearm stance
The Senators, led by Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, and Bill Hagerty, R-Tennessee, accused Amalgamated Bank of manipulating Switzerland’s International Organization for Standardization to require U.S. banks to categorize gun purchases. “Whether it is choosing to debank firearms manufacturers, forcing all commercial clients to adopt anti-gun control codes, or divesting customer assets from lawful businesses, these decisions demonstrate your attempt to force your political views on law-abiding Americans,” the 26 senators wrote in their letter. “If you want to change gun policy, you should run for office and make yourself accountable to voters. What’s worse, these actions weren’t enough for you, so you set your sights on forcing these radical and discriminatory policies on the entire financial system.”
JANUARY 6th POLITICAL PRISONERS
Hoft: In Riveting Interview: J-6 Victim Victoria White Describes Unbelievable Bare-Fisted Beating by DC Police on Jan 6th and the Nightmare that Followed — MUST SEE VIDEO
Victoria White from Rochester, Minnesota attended the Stop the Steal rally in Washington DC on January 6th. Like many Americans that day it was her first time she ever visited Washington DC. She was excited to attend the rally and stand with President Trump at the Ellipse. What started as a wonderful trip with family and friends turned into a bloody nightmare. Victoria White was nearly killed by DC police officers during the rally. The police officers beat her in the face and shoulders nearly 40 times with sticks and their fists. Then they dragged her through the US Capitol shoeless and forced her to wait outside without a phone, a coat, or a ride after they released her hours later. This was after Victoria broke up Antifa activists breaking windows at the US Capitol.
2022 ELECTIONS
Hinderaker: WILL VOTERS CHOOSE HUNGER?
Human history has largely been a struggle to get enough to eat. Starvation was an ever-present threat, almost everywhere, until very recently. Only in the last century or two has even part of the world learned how to produce an abundant and reliable supply of food. It requires a scientific approach to hybridization, crop rotation, intensive fertilization, pest control, and more. As a result of these modern farming methods, for the first time ever the vast majority of the world’s population is not imminently threatened by starvation. But that could change. The international “environmentalist” movement is determined to outlaw modern farming practices, ostensibly for the sake of our climate. Places like Sri Lanka, the Netherlands and Canada have been forced to confront the anti-agriculture movement, and it is already making itself felt in the U.S. Banning fertilizers and prohibiting animal husbandry are two of the planks in this “green” platform. Food shortages are already appearing around the world, but liberals are undeterred. Which raises the question: will Americans actually vote for less agriculture, higher food prices, and mass starvation in the world’s poorer precincts?

Wegmann: Democrats Attack Lake as ‘Extremist.’ 2024 Republicans Flock to Her
It is a busy week for Kari Lake and for Republicans who harbor White House ambitions. Several are more than eager to share the stump with the Arizona gubernatorial candidate, a fact that Democrats believe underscores their arguments about the “ultra MAGA” right and the rise of GOP extremism. Tuesday morning in Scottsdale, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem will have coffee with Lake and her supporters. The next afternoon in the Phoenix suburbs, Lake will share the stage with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Former President Donald Trump arrives Sunday to host a rally in the town of Prescott Valley. Some have already stumped for Lake, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in August. Others have promised they will, like Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, but haven’t yet put a date on the calendar.

FAUCI’S VIRUS
Cox: Tyranny Denied!
I was speaking at an event earlier this week, as I often do, with the intent of trying to educate the attendees about the authoritarian “Isolation & Quarantine Procedures” regulation that New York’s Governor, Kathy Hochul, and her Department of Health (DOH) snuck through, right under the noses of 19 million+ New Yorkers. Over the course of the past several months that I have been fighting a legal battle to strike down this dystopian regulation, the reg has taken on a nickname of sorts. People refer to it as the “Quarantine Camp regulation”. Technically they are not wrong, as the regulation clearly gave the DOH the power to pick and choose which New Yorkers to forcibly lock up or lock down, for however long the government wanted, whether in your home or at a “facility” of their choosing, with your every move monitored and controlled by them. All that, without any proof that you actually had a communicable disease! You can get more details on the regulation, my lawsuit, our victory, and Hochul’s appeal, HERE. Since the mainstream, legacy media is fully censoring any talk about my lawsuit and the reg in general, (see my prior article about the incredible censorship HERE), more often than not, I am speaking to a crowd that has never heard about this wholly unconstitutional power grab of Executive Branch quarantine camps. As such, my speeches need to give audiences some detailed background information to set the stage.

Hoft: BREAKING: ICAN Wins Lawsuit Forcing CDC to Turn Over V-SAFE Covid Vaccine Injury Data – Shows 7.7% Seek Medical Care After Vaccination and 25% Have Serious Side Effects (VIDEO)
Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) just recently won a major lawsuit brought against the CDC, requiring the agency to turn over its V-safe COVID Vaccine Injury Data. In order to collect health evaluations following vaccination against COVID-19, the CDC developed a tool called V-safe that runs on smartphones. Over 10 million participants signed up and submitted their health data. “V-safe provides personalized and confidential health check-ins via text messages and web surveys so you can quickly and easily share with CDC how you, or your dependent, feel after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. This information helps CDC monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in near real time,” said CDC. After a successful lawsuit, ICAN was granted access to V-safe COVID Vaccine Injury Data from the CDC.
BIDEN/ HARRIS/ OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING FOREIGN POLICY
Crilly: Biden’s assistance to Ukraine grows to $16.8 BILLION since Russian invaded: President gives Zelensky another $625 million in military aid – including missiles, artillery and ammunition – as Ukrainian troops storm into Kherson
Details emerged after President Joe Biden spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, to reassure him that the U.S. would not recognize Russia’s annexation of parts of Ukraine. It brings the total American assistance to more than $16.8 billion since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. […]
‘I reaffirmed my commitment to continue supporting Ukraine, including through today’s new $625 million security assistance package,’ said Biden in a tweet. […] A $1.8 billion package announced last week also included 18 HIMARS launch trucks, but they will come from a separate fund which means the US must first source and purchase the systems.
Sempa: Mike Pompeo and the Guns of October
Former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo has written an op-ed piece in the Washington Times advocating what amounts to belligerent status for NATO and the U.S. in Russia’s war with Ukraine and economic warfare against China. He contends that unless the Biden administration and NATO confront Russia more directly and use America’s economic leverage over China to force Chinese leaders to “constrain” Vladimir Putin, Putin will likely use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, China will invade Taiwan, and Iran will strike Israel. America’s goal, Pompeo writes, must be a “rapid, comprehensive victory by Ukraine,” and America must use economic leverage to “mandate that China agree to meaningful nuclear arms reduction talks” and refrain from invading Taiwan. And Pompeo writes that China “must be put on notice [that] if… Putin uses a nuclear weapon, America will devastate the Chinese economy through our cessation of trade and capital investments.” This, to say the least, is a tall order for any U.S. administration, let alone the Biden national security team.

Election officials declared overwhelming landslide victories in Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Luhansk, and Donetsk, where 87 to 99 percent of the ballots cast supported annexation. Musk suggested that the elections be redone under UN supervision. “Russia leaves if that is [the] will of the people,” he wrote.

BIDEN/ HARRIS/ OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA
Darwall: Joe Biden’s Energy Crisis
The West is experiencing its third energy crisis. The first, in 1973, was caused by the near-quintupling of the price of crude oil by Gulf oil producers in response to America’s support for Israel in the Yom Kippur war. Their action brought an end to what the French call the trente glorieuses—the unprecedented post–World War II economic expansion. The second occurred at the end of the 1970s, when Iran’s Islamic revolution led to a more than doubling of oil prices. This again inflicted great economic hardship, but the policy response was far better. Inflation was purged at the cost of deep recession. Energy markets were permitted to function. High oil prices induced substitution effects, particularly in the power sector, and stimulated increased supply. In the space of nine months, the oil price cratered from $30 a barrel in November 1985 to $10 a barrel in July 1986. It’s no wonder that the economic expansion that started under Ronald Reagan had such long legs. This time is different. The third energy crisis was not sparked by Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies or by Iranian ayatollahs. It was self-inflicted, a foreseeable outcome of policy choices made by the West: Germany’s disastrous Energiewende that empowered Vladimir Putin to launch an energy war against Europe; Britain’s self-regarding and self-destructive policy of “powering past coal” and its decision to ban fracking; and, as Joseph Toomey shows in his powerful essay, President Biden’s war on the American oil and gas industry.

Roubini: The Stagflationary Debt Crisis Is Here
For a year now, I have argued that the increase in inflation would be persistent, that its causes include not only bad policies but also negative supply shocks, and that central banks’ attempt to fight it would cause a hard economic landing. When the recession comes, I warned, it will be severe and protracted, with widespread financial distress and debt crises. Notwithstanding their hawkish talk, central bankers, caught in a debt trap, may still wimp out and settle for above-target inflation. Any portfolio of risky equities and less risky fixed-income bonds will lose money on the bonds, owing to higher inflation and inflation expectations. How do these predictions stack up? […] Are we already in a recession? Not yet, but the US did report negative growth in the first half of the year, and most forward-looking indicators of economic activity in advanced economies point to a sharp slowdown that will grow even worse with monetary-policy tightening. A hard landing by year’s end should be regarded as the baseline scenario. While many other analysts now agree, they seem to think that the coming recession will be short and shallow, whereas I have cautioned against such relative optimism, stressing the risk of a severe and protracted stagflationary debt crisis.

Cleveland: ‘Codify Roe’ Is Biden’s Euphemism For Democrats’ Atrocious Aim: Unregulated Abortion Anywhere, Anytime
While some Democrats may want to codify the Roe-Casey law of abortion, and while some Republicans may desire a national ban on abortion, the current political scene tells a vastly different story — one in which Democrats demand an unfettered state constitutional right to abortion that far exceeds what Roe and Casey held that the U.S. Constitution guaranteed. Abortion on demand, at any time, for any reason, without informed consent or parental notification, without the safety and medical licensing regulations currently governing in most states, and paid for by taxpayers — this is the push presently underway in several states by mainstream Democrats. Michigan best exemplifies this reality, . . .

Aoraha: ‘They need to be sent back to their home country’: Ron DeSantis tears into ‘illegal alien’ looters who should not be in the US ‘at all’ after they were arrested for ransacking homes devastated by Hurricane Ian
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis revealed Tuesday that three of the four looting suspects arrested in Lee County were in the United States illegally. The Republican executive made the revelation during a news conference in Fort Myers on Tuesday as he gave an update about the response to Hurricane Ian.
DeSantis focused on ‘law and order’ in southwest Florida and drew a connection between that at his opposition to President Joe Biden‘s immigration policies. ‘These are people that are foreigners, they’re illegally in our country, but not only that, they try to loot and ransack in the aftermath of a natural disaster,’ DeSantis explained. […] ‘At the end of the day, we are not going to allow lawlessness to take advantage of this situation. We are a law-and-order state, and this is a law-and-order community, so do not think that you’re going to go take advantage of people who’ve suffered misfortune.’
Nantz: Psaki Buries Her Knife in Biden’s Back
Jen Psaki is usually wrong, not because she’s stupid, but because she’s an ideologue, a rabid partizan, and statist zealot. And, she seems to savor a well placed lie. But that’s expected from a former White House press secretary, and William and Mary graduate, who spent her entire tenure contorting the borders of reality, gleefully creating fictions to explain Joe Biden’s precipitous decline into senility. Joe Biden has always been a dummy. Obama admitted it when he commented on Lunch Bucket Joes’ propensity to always screw things up. Biden is a comic book character inked and colored by media hacks and stooges like Psaki. Jen’s recent statement is a concession to the spectacular proportion of Joe Biden’s failures. To ignore this would produce a lie that would simply be too big to sustain its own mass — even Psaki has to face the facts at some point:
“If it is a referendum on the president, they [democrats] will lose. And they know that.”

MCCOTTER: The Cultural Contradictions of Progressivism: Modernizing the ‘Blood Libel’
Within the Left’s DIE cult (“diversity, inclusion, equity”), for some to be included they must abandon their own identity and beliefs; and take their place in their preordained slot within intersectionality’s roster of the oppressed. If they do not, they will be excluded and persecuted; for, within the DIE cult’ Animal Farm, some identities are more equal than others. Of course, this is neither diverse, inclusive, or equitable. But, in a cruel continuation of their historical oppression, it remains the reality faced by the Jewish people. What is striking, is that the escalation of anti-Semitism is a product of both the radical Right and Left. The key distinction is that such anti-Semitism on the racist, radical Right – the historical locus of hatred and attacks against the Jewish people – is universally denounced and rejected by sane minds. The anti-Semitism of the radical Left, however, is increasingly condoned and institutionalized – especially in America’s institutions of “higher learning.” […] “Anti-Zionism is flatly antisemitic. Using ‘Zionist’ as a euphemism for Jew is nothing more than a confidence trick. Like other forms of Judeophobia, it is an ideology of hate, treating Israel as the ‘collective Jew’ and smearing the Jewish state with defamations similar to those used for centuries to vilify individual Jews… “These exclusions reflect the changing face of campus antisemitism. The highest profile incidents are no longer just about toxic speech, which poisons the campus environment. Now anti-Zionist groups target Jewish Americans directly.”
Nelson: Biden claims ‘I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community’ in Delaware
President Biden told an audience in Puerto Rico Monday that “I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically” — despite the fact that only about 2,000 people of Puerto Rican ancestry lived in Delaware when he was launching his career five decades ago. Biden has a habit of inflating his personal connection to audiences and made the claim while pledging Hurricane Fiona recovery aid during a trip to Ponce on the island’s southern coast.

DEMOCRAT PARTY’S MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CENSORSHIP
Strom: Doctors against dissent, trans edition
The American Academy of Physicians, the American Medical Association, and the Children’s Hospital Association are now asking the Justice Department to sic the FBI on critics of transgender sterilization and mutilation of children. If you are an ally of the Left, you can call on the US Justice Department and the FBI to go after your critics and shut them up. Preferably by putting them in jail, but censorship and intimidation might work as well. The National School Boards Association followed this playbook, and while the Justice Department and the FBI took some real backlash for labeling angry parents domestic terrorists. They also managed to chill a lot of parental speech. […] The medical establishment insists that they are providing care to suffering patients out of compassion. That is simply not true. There is big money at stake and they are unashamed to say that in private: . . . […] The corruption and evil at the heart of this movement–and at the heart of our institutions and government, need to be opposed. If you are not voting with these issues top of mind, what is wrong with you? We can disagree on taxes, spending, and a host of other issues, but if you have a choice between a candidate who opposes grooming and mutilating children and one who supports it, your choice is very clear. We simply have to stop this.

U.S. GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE: THE U.K. IS A WARNING
Williams: The dangers of a woke NHS
What makes someone a good nurse? Knowledge of biology and medicine, for sure. Practical skills like dressing wounds, measuring blood pressure and administering medication must be high up the list, too. How about more personal attributes and values? Composure, patience and sympathy are no doubt useful. But a belief that ‘whiteness’ is a problem? An understanding that society is systemically racist? I’m not convinced. Evidence of the crisis in the NHS is everywhere we look. People struggle to see a doctor, face lengthy waits for an ambulance and unbearable delays for routine operations. Yet rather than focusing on improving frontline patient care, an ever-expanding, highly paid managerial elite is wasting its time and money promoting woke values to Britain’s largest workforce. Cash is found for equality, diversity and inclusion officers, who busy themselves with tasks such as compiling an ‘A to Z of Diversity’ to instruct staff on how ‘white women can be actionable allies to people of colour’. There are training courses on the history and principles of the Black Lives Matter movement. There are LGBT-themed ‘tea and rainbow cake’ picnics. And there is training on the importance of pronouns.

CLIMATE EMERGENCY: IT’S POLITICAL
Kelly: Bill Gates Admits Eating Less Meat Won’t Solve “Climate Crisis”
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates shared last week in an interview that the so-called problem of climate change will not be solved by keeping people from wanting nice things or eating meat. This is in direct contradiction to his February 2021 statement that “America and other wealthy countries should move to 100% synthetic beef” to assist lowering green house gas (GHG) emissions. “Anyone who says telling people to stop eating meat or wanting to have a nice house will basically change human desires, I think, that is too difficult,” Gates told Bloomberg. “You can make a case for it, but I don’t think it’s realistic for that to play a central role.” Gates said in Bloomberg’s Zero podcast. Gates sharing this realization is a huge step back from his thinking when he was pitching his book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster in early 2021. […] The good news here is that Bill Gates and his green madness cronies are beginning to give credence to the fact that their pie-in-the-sky goals of reducing GHG emissions are based on a lie. They’re like 21st-century snake-oil salesmen, and people aren’t buying.

DEMOCRAT PARTY’S MARXIST PLAYBOOK: ANTI-POLICE ANTI-VICTIM PRO-CRIMINAL
Mac Donald: How dare left-wing prosecutors insist their policies are ‘working’ while a murder surge disproportionately slaughters black Americans, seethes HEATHER MAC DONALD in searing analysis of the carnage
Considering the unprecedented murder surge in America’s cities over the last two years, one might expect progressive district attorneys to reconsider the policies that have kept criminals out of jails and on the streets. Think again. Last week, Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner told a local television news anchor he’s not prepared to change course. ‘It is working,’ Krasner claimed, a few days after another mass shooting had killed a 14-year-old football player and wounded four of his teammates following a high school scrimmage. The anchor noted incredulously that a thousand people had been killed in Philadelphia over 20 months. ‘It is working,’ insisted Krasner. Krasner apparently defines a policy as ‘working’ when it contributes to the highest number of murders and the highest murder rate in a city’s history, a record number of carjackings, the routine looting of stores, and savage beatings of innocent pedestrians. Krasner has a knack for denying the undeniable. […] ‘We don’t have a crisis of lawlessness, we don’t have a crisis of crime, we don’t have a crisis of violence,’ he said in a December press conference, when Philadelphia’s homicide count was its highest since 1960 despite the city’s 20% smaller population.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., predicted that America would look “like a suburb.” She did not mention that this posh village would include hoodlums breaking into mansions, residents getting robbed beside white-picket fences, and neighbors seeing BMWs carjacked at gunpoint. This horror show is the result of deliberate Democratic policies:. . . […] The solution is to pry Democrats from office. Republicans can fight crime without getting their boxers and panties into knots over evil-doers’ ethnicity. Local, state, and – where appropriate – federal GOP candidates should promise this path back to law and order: . . .

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN
The Right Scoop: Vermont school BANS girls from locker room because they objected to biological male using their locker room
In Vermont, the home of Randolph High School, state policy dictates that transgender students can play sports and use facilities that correspond to their desired gender. The state law allows for trans students to play on Randolph High’s girls volleyball team and, apparently, use the team’s locker rooms at the same time as everyone else. Adding to this, the trans athlete allegedly made an “inappropriate remark” to other players on the team while they were all changing, which made some uncomfortable, WCAX News reported. […] See how backwards this is? The school is investigating the girls for ‘harassing’ the so-called transgender student when, according to one of the mothers, the dude just sat in the room and watched the girls undress. Unbelievable.

Huston: ‘Scooby-Doo’s’ Velma ‘Officially Gay’ as She Swoons for Female Character
Producers of Warner Bros.’ the latest Scooby-Doo cartoon, Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!, have officially confirmed that team sleuth Velma Dinkley is a lesbian as she appears to get googly-eyed over a new female character. LGBTQ fans of the series have for years insisted that the turtleneck-sweatered, be-speckled Velma is gay, or bi, or some such thing. And other producers have also reported trying to make the character explicitly gay. Yet until now, there has never been any obvious allusions to her LGBTQ sexuality on the screen.

Emmons: EXCLUSIVE: Father of 11-year-old speaks out as New York hospital, courts attempt to medically transition his child
A father in New York state is fighting for his child to be allowed to grow up. The child’s mother, the medical industry, and the court are pressing for the 11-year-old to be permitted to take drugs that would disrupt puberty, potentially stunting her development and leading to sterility. The father to the middle-schooler, whose is not named in order to protect his family, has been instructed by the court to call his child by the new, chosen name, new preferred pronouns, and to refer to the child as being of the new, chosen gender. Neither parent is allowed, under court order, to talk to the child about “anything gender related,” he said. […] A bill currently before the state Senate would make New York a “sanctuary state” for children seeking medical gender transition. That bill is sponsored by state Senator Brad Hoylman, who also sponsored the conversion therapy ban in 2019. When asked about the requirements for medical professionals who are not in mental health but are medical providers, Hoylman’s office was not sure if or how the conversion therapy ban applied.

Patrick: High school students walk out over assistant principal’s disparaging remarks toward “straight, white” people
For quite some time, we’ve witnessed parents speaking out against critical race theory and anti-white propaganda being taught in our nation’s schools. In case you may have wondered, “where are the students,” that question may have just been answered. According to BizPacReview, some high school students in Minnesota may have finally had enough after they walked out of school over remarks made by a high school assistant principal on “straight, white privilege.” After initially enraging parents, the comments also led to students finally taking a stand.
Duke: Woman Rejects Democrats After Being Told to Sign a Workplace “White People Are Racist” Contract
“The business of progressives is to go on making mistakes,” noted G.K. Chesterton ages ago. Well, for one Pennsylvania woman, they just made one mistake too many. In fact, says family attorney Nicole Levitt, it’s to the point where “political liberalism seems to have passed me by.” At issue is that as part of employer-mandated “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) training, she was asked to sign a contract stating that “all white people are racist,” as Levitt put it in a July video. She refused and now has filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) complaint against her employer. […] Levitt’s problems started after the 2020 death of drug-addled criminal George Floyd. Levitt states that most of her employer’s clients are non-white and that her workplace “organized meetings about it [the incident]; everyone was upset.” She continued: This evolved into having what was later referred to as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) sessions, where we had affinity groups where staff were separated out into groups based on ethnicity, for example into a white group and a Black group. I was told that I had to attend a white affinity group meeting, but eventually, I was given permission to not attend, because I really didn’t agree with being separated by race. … I felt it was very regressive. […] Levitt also relates that the revisionist, anti-American, discredited 1619 Project was presented as truth at some of her company training sessions. Par for the course as well, Levitt says that by objecting to her workplace’s divisive program, she was accused of sowing division. Levitt relates her experiences in the JILV video below.

Gordon: ‘Every parent’s worst nightmare’: Rainbow fentanyl pills resembling candy are found in a LEGO box as DEA warns how ‘drug cartels are pushing into new markets by targeting children’
Investigators have arrested a New Jersey woman after she allegedly transported around 15,000 rainbow fentanyl pills into New York City with many of them hidden under blocks of LEGO. ‘These pills are hidden in pretty much anything imaginable. Traffickers are very innovative,’ DEA agent Frank A. Tarantino III said. ‘This newly packaged poison is the cartel’s way of attracting new customers. This is calculated, it is deliberate, it is treacherous deception to make Rainbow fentanyl look like candy. This is every parent’s worst nightmare.’ Federal law enforcement officers say the pills were made in various rainbow colors and looked just like candy.

Hoft: TODAY’S LAWFARE: NY Court Gives Steve Bannon November 2023 Court Date for We Build the Wall Funding – After Successfully Building Miles of Border Wall
On Tuesday Former Chief Strategist for President Trump, Steve Bannon, traveled to New York City for his latest hearing in front of a politicized and unhinged New York court. New York prosecutors are too busy going after Trump officials to deal with the record crime wave in the state. Steve Bannon was indicted in New York a second time for his alleged role in “defrauding donors” who gave to the We Build the Wall charity. Bannon is being charged with fraud for his role in the We Build the Wall organization. The charity built more border wall, with less money, in less time, than anything the federal government could ever hope for.

Boyd: YIKES: Democrat Candidate Endorses Abortion Up Until Birth While Airing Footage Of Her Son Being Born
Childbirth is no short of a miracle that demands celebration and awe. But for Democrat candidate Katie Darling, who is challenging Minority Whip Steve Scalise for Louisiana’s 1st Congressional District, giving birth was a great opportunity to peddle the demise of unborn babies in a campaign advertisement.
The ad starts with footage of the pregnant Darling navigating chores as she longingly awaits the arrival of her newest child. The baby is a boy who Darling says will join his older sister as a helper around the family’s farm.

Durden: Now That Twitter Belongs To Elon, Here Is What He Will Do To The Platform In His Own Words
Now that the dramatic, if pointless and expensive, interlude of Musk trying to sabotage his own (extremely overpriced) purchase of Twitter is finally over with Musk conceding to buy the social network at the original proposed price of $54.20. So what’s next? Will Musk keep Twitter as is, or will he burn it down, fire all its employees, and rebuild it from the ground up? Conveniently, Musk’s Twitter-linked text messages, publicly released as part of the Twitter lawsuit legal disclosure, provide enough information for what Musk really wants in terms of a final product.
Johnston: Harry and Meghan ‘at odds’ with Netflix: ‘Panicked’ Duke and Duchess ‘requested significant edits’ after ‘having second thoughts’ about ‘tone’ of docuseries – but the filmmakers want to keep the content, sources claim
The Duke, 38, and Duchess, 41, of Sussex, who now live in their $14million Montecito mansion with their two children, Archie, three, and one-year-old Lilibet – are working on a documentary as part of their $100 million deal with the streaming service. It was previously expected that the production would be aired in December, following the fifth season of The Crown on November 9, according to the publication. However, sources claimed last week the couple now wanted to make edits to the series, which would possibly delay its release until later in 2023, as they look to ‘downplay much of what they have said about King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales’. And now insiders have told the publication that the couple are ‘having second thoughts’ on the project, with one Netflix source saying: ‘Harry and Meghan are panicked about trying to tone down even the most basic language. But it’s their story, from their own mouths.’ Another said: ‘They’ve made significant requests to walk back content they themselves have provided — to the extent that some Netflix staff believe, if granted, it will effectively shelve the project indefinitely.’

Pollak: Johannesburg’s Opposition Government Collapses; Racist Marxist Party Could Govern South Africa
The liberal Democratic Alliance (DA), the country’s largest opposition party, has made steady advances in urban areas over the last two decades. Last year, it succeeded in taking over the troubled city of Johannesburg, installing physician Mpho Phalatse as mayor. Johannesburg, the country’s economic hub and the most important industrial metropolis on the African continent, has suffered high crime and declining public services in recent years. The country’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), is widely seen as both corrupt and incompetent, using political power to fund its patronage network and neglecting basic government functions. The DA has governed successfully in Cape Town, and hopes to push the ANC below the 50% threshold in the 2024 general elections.
Smith: Another shocking scandal at Mermaids
Mermaids, the charity for transgender youth, continues to unravel before our eyes. Last night, one of its trustees resigned. A Times investigation found that he had given a presentation at an event hosted by B4U-ACT, a US organisation that advocates on behalf of ‘minor-attracted persons’. The Times describes B4U-ACT as a ‘paedophile-aid group’. Dr Jacob Breslow, assistant professor of gender and sexuality at the London School of Economics (LSE), had been a trustee of Mermaids since July 2022. In 2011, Breslow gave a presentation at a conference in Baltimore, Maryland organised by B4U-ACT. B4U-ACT was founded in 2003 by Russell Dick, a social worker, and Michael Melsheimer, a convicted paedophile. One of its aims is to break down the ‘stigma’ surrounding paedophilia.
O’Neill: Eddie Izzard was born male and he will die male
It’s time to stop playing along with the transgender delusion. If you had told me five years ago that I would one day have to write an article explaining that Eddie Izzard is not a woman, I’d have thought you mad. And yet here we are, in 2022, so deep down the rabbit hole of gender insanity that it has become necessary to say that Mr Edward John Izzard, possessor of male genitalia, his entire body hardwired with the XY chromosome, is not a woman. He’s a bloke. However ‘fabulous’ he might have looked in a ‘floral dress’ that ‘flashed a hint of leg’ at the premiere of that new biopic about Bowie – as the Express gushed – he’s still a chap. No amount of pink lippy will change that. He was born male and he will die male. Eddie Izzard is an adult human male. Every cell in his body is a dude’s. […] Izzard has been making waves over the past week for two reasons: first, because he wants to be a Labour MP, and second because he goes into women’s bathrooms.
