This is an outrage and miscarriage of justice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nearly 4 Years Later, No Letup in Jan. 6 Prosecutions, Possible Pardons or Not [...] In what Attorney General Merrick Garland describes as the biggest criminal investigation in Department of Justice history, more than 1,560 people have been charged for federal crimes never before used against political protesters, including under a post-Enron obstruction statute overturned by the Supreme Court in June. At least 1,000 of these defendants have been convicted – either at trial or by accepting plea offers – with some 650 defendants ordered to serve time in a federal prison. Sentences range from a few days in jail to up to 22 years as the DOJ seeks "terror enhancements" to tack on additional time. Activity in the J6 investigation accelerated the month before the election. At least 16 individuals were arrested; home security camera footage obtained by RCI shows the heavily-armed pre-dawn FBI raid of a subject in California on October 17. Shortly after the election, DOJ officials instructed attorneys working on J6 cases to carry on regardless of the pending change in leadership.

No, no, and no. If anything, legal immigration should improve in policy and practice after competent people are installed as leaders. This won't happen right away, but I bet it will.

It's Sunday! Time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke (this one definitely for guys and probably written by one): =========================================== ARE YOU DONE WITH THAT CHILI, PAL? A hungry guy really craved a bowl of hot chili. He saw a diner just up the street, so he decided to go there. A pretty waitress showed him to his seat, and he promptly placed his order. The waitress said, "Sorry, but the guy next to you got the last bowl." He looked over and saw that the guy had finished his meal, but the bowl of chili was still full. He asked, "Are you going to eat that chili?" The other guy said, "No. Help yourself." The first guy slid the bowl of chili over and started to eat. When he got about halfway down, his spoon hit something. He looked and saw a dead mouse, and he immediately barfed all the chili back into the bowl. The other guy said, "Yeah, that's about as far as I got, too."

This sounds awful -- take heed! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Study: Overuse Of Hair Detangler Giving Rise To Product-Resistant Supertangles EL SEGUNDO, CA—Revealing that split ends have grown 50% stronger in just the past decade, a new study published Friday by researchers at the L'Oréal Academy warned that overuse of hair detangler was giving rise to new product-resistant supertangles. "When hair detangler was first developed, we arrogantly assumed we would be living in a world without snagging, but now we face an even bigger threat to smooth, silky hair," said study author Vicki Zhou, explaining that decades of reliance on hair-detangling technology has led to the evolution of supertangles, which can survive the standard chemicals used to improve follicle manageability.

Daniel Penny Judge Tells Jury To Go Back And Deliberate Again Until They Come Back With The Correct Verdict NEW YORK CITY — Judge Maxwell Wiley has ordered the jury in Daniel Penny's trial to go back and keep on deliberating until they come back with a different verdict. After four days of deliberation, the jury announced that Penny could not be found guilty of manslaughter. Judge Wiley asked if maybe the jury could just pretend that never happened, and instructed them to think of some new charge to deliberate about until they changed their minds. "Ugh, you guys are making this so hard," sighed Wiley, holding his head in his hands.

We're Back, Baby! Trump Goes to Paris and Reminds the World Who's Number One For those of us patriotic Americans who believe wholeheartedly in American exceptionalism, the last four years have been embarrassing. Anytime Joe Biden has made an appearance on the world stage, we've been left with nothing more than cringeworthy gaffes and viral videos of him acting as if he has no idea where he is or what he's doing there. But today, Donald Trump accepted an invitation from France to attend the re-opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which was a damaged in a fire in 2019, and the entire event was symbolic of what I hope will be a return to our original place in the world — a return to the top, a return to respect. Even the Associated Press had to admit that Trump was welcomed with "presidential pop."

Another ISIS-like state caliphate pending. Oh, joy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iran Withdrawing From Syria Signals That Assad's Days in Power May Be Numbered Iran is abandoning its Syrian ally following rapid gains made by Islamist rebel forces, who are now closing in on the capital Damascus. "Iran is starting to evacuate its forces and military personnel because we cannot fight as an advisory and support force if Syria's army itself does not want to fight," a prominent advisor to the Iranian regime, Mehdi Rahmati, told the New York Times. "The bottom line," he said, "is that Iran has realized that it cannot manage the situation in Syria right now with any military operation and this option is off the table." The unspoken reason Iran is leaving Syria is that Israel smashed Iran's proxy Hezbollah, fatally weakening its ability to carry out operations outside of Lebanon. Significantly, Iran is [...] https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/12/07/iran-withdrawing-from-syria-signaling-assads-days-in-power-may-numbered-n4934922

Jonathan Turley clarifies what'll happen to these clowns. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sanctuary cities resist Trump's deportation plan. It could cost their residents. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston recently became the latest Democratic leader to engage in a chest-pounding call to arms in resistance to the incoming Trump administration's plan to deport people who entered the United States unlawfully. While a post-election poll by YouGov for CBS News shows that a massive 73% of adults want President-elect Donald Trump to prioritize the repatriation of illegal migrants, the mayor pledged to not only have Denver police "stationed at the county line to keep (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) out" but also that "you would have 50,000 Denverites there." Johnston said it would be like a "Tiananmen Square moment" and answered yes when questioned whether he'd be ready to go to jail. That moment soon passed, however, as lawyers apparently explained to the mayor that armed resistance to the federal government is often called – wait for it – insurrection.

This article's title doesn't mention the big issue: Bidementia's planned control of AI (!). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why this tech billionaire left a White House meeting last spring and endorsed Trump My ears always perk up when I hear that a lifelong Democrat has thrown his or her support behind President-elect Donald Trump. One of the biggest surprises of the 2024 election cycle was the sheer number of people who did just that. Two key factors drove this shift. First, many working-class voters finally grasped that the Democratic Party, which they had blindly supported for decades, had abandoned them. The second factor concerned Democrats at the opposite end of the economic spectrum — a group that included tech billionaires, hedge fund managers, and the ultrawealthy, many with direct access to the Biden White House. They saw that the line between democracy and authoritarianism had become blurred, or even erased in some instances, as party leaders shifted their focus from governance to the pursuit of power, showing a willingness to do whatever it took to acquire it and maintain it. Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm a16z, was part of this second group. In a Tuesday interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, he exposed the Biden administration's despotic plan to control artificial intelligence in the U.S. This bombshell revelation should have been front-page news last week; instead, it flew largely under the radar.

Supreme Court Rules 8-1 In Favor Of Taking Turns Bonking Justice Sotomayor On The Head With Their Gavels WASHINGTON, D.C. — The government's judicial branch continued to methodically work through remaining cases before the upcoming holiday break, with the United States Supreme Court ruling 8-1 in favor of taking turns bonking Justice Sonia Sotomayor on the head with their gavels. As the court heard arguments on a number of high-profile cases involving gun rights, immigration, and gender surgery for minors, the justices took an impromptu vote to determine if they should line up to take turns whacking Justice Sotomayor over the head.

Suspicious? Biden Pardons Hunter For Anything He Might Do Tonight Between 2:30 and 4:17 AM Outside The Capitol Heights Applebee's WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Biden issued another controversial pardon for his son Hunter this week which exonerates him for "what he may or may not do tonight between 2:30 and 4:17 AM outside the Capitol Heights Applebee's." "I hereby exempt my son from anything that may or may not occur at this very specific time behind the green dumpster outside Applebees," said Biden to a bust of Teddy Roosevelt he mistook for a reporter.

75% Of Elves Laid Off After Elon Musk Visits North Pole NORTH POLE — A somber mood reportedly spread quickly among the workforce at Santa's workshop this week, as 75% of the elves on staff were laid off after Elon Musk visited the North Pole. The SpaceX and Tesla founder had been invited to the workshop by Santa Claus himself as part of an initiative to streamline the toy-making process and make the workshop operation more efficient, which eventually resulted in massive layoffs. "His first suggestion was to just clean house," said Greg, an elf who was laid off after 30 years in the workshop.
