  1. The electric vehicle market is collapsing because there’s little demand without subsidies. Trudeau has poured billions into this failing, ideologically-driven business model without understanding this fundamental.

    Flushing the third-world into Canada in the name of the Century Initiative (population replacement) will result not only in the virtual genocide of our native population, but in the transformation of our beautiful land into a garbage dump.

  4. Trump is President Now

    Commentary

    The dam has broken on the fraud of the Biden Team and their Deep State Blob of enablers. Biden was never running the country, but there was a team that has been running the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government since January 20, 2021. It was possible that Time Magazine had already written a 2.) Version of their infamous February 4, 2021 Article, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election” that they were expecting to publish in February 2025.

    Not always, but sometimes, liars and cheaters eventually get caught, and that’s what happened on November 5, 2024. They were able to pull off a steal in November 2020 but could not accomplish a two-fer. Once they were able to get Joe Biden inaugurated on January 20, 2021, they played a shell game to hide Joe’s condition for almost four years. The cabal came very close to pushing America into the abyss. With Donald J. Trump’s win, the Deep Staters have been brushed aside. All eyes and attention are now on President-Elect Trump. Biden has been almost forgotten. To make up for the past collusion and misdeeds of the Deep State Blob, Globalists, and Legacy Media, Donald J. Trump should be sworn in immediately.
    Biden Missing in Action on Government Funding Debate

    The struggle over funding the U.S. Government showed the complete irrelevance of Biden or Harris. Trump, Elon, Vivek, and other Populists dominated the debate. The importance of this battle was the showdown on the size and content of the Continuing Resolution. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson may have made a misstep in allowing the normal tradition of a 1,500 page plus, monstrosity of a legislative package, but he did allow the text of the bill out into the wild in advance of a vote.

    Vivek Ramaswamy read the bill, which flipped the formerly predictable routine of CRs upside down. The street theater of Republican faux outrage and then folding like a lawn chair is no longer acceptable with the eyes of DOGE gazing down on this dysfunctional freak show. From now on, proposed authorizations and appropriations should run the gauntlet of a five-day review period to be pressure-tested against public crowdsourcing.

    From 1,500 pages down to 118 was a remarkable, 90% plus downsizing. This was a huge victory and a reveal of what leadership by DJT, “X”, Elon, Vivek, Bannon, and the American Citizens will look like. Reading these legislative proposals is not that daunting with the descriptive table of contents up front. The table of contents clearly states the structure of the waste and inefficiency. Vivek decided to do something rarely done; he picked up the package, read it entirely, and within minutes had a laundry list of exceptions. And where was Biden in this whole dust-up? Busily signing the outcome shaped by Trump, Elon, Vivek, and the MAGA Posse – but I posit it might have been Biden’s Autopen doing the signing, so as not to wake Biden from his nap.
    Titans and Foreign Leaders swarm Trump – and one gets KO’d

    Somewhere there is a movie in the making about the magic of Mar-a-Lago, especially after the epic election win on November 5, 2024. President Roosevelt referred to the mythical “Shangri-La” as the base for the Tokyo Raiders of April 1942. There is nothing mythical about Mar-a-Lago. Instead it is becoming legendary in American history as the new capitol city for the Golden Age. Everyone wants to see and be seen at Mar-a-Lago (MaL) or meet with Trump.

    Tech Titans who are suddenly interested in MAGA (Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc.) and heads of state are flocking to MaL or trying to sit next to him when Trump travels. President Milei of Argentina (who gives a new twist to the MAGA term with his fiery Trump-like populism) was the first to meet with President-Elect Trump at MaL.

    Trump’s appearance at the re-opening of Notre Dame in Paris was a display of who was the real center of attention. Between fawning gazes from Jill Biden to the manhandling of President Macron, Trump dominated. Man-child Justin Trudeau wanted an audience at MaL, which he received from Trump, after he was publicly punched in the face with Tariff promises. Within a couple of weeks of the visit, Trudeau’s chief ally, the Canadian Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland resigned, placing Trudeau’s tenure at risk. All are welcome to meet with President Trump but be careful what you ask for. And where are Biden and Harris? No one seems to care.
    The Deep State lied about Biden’s condition from the beginning

    What most everyone already knew has been validated by James O’Keefe catching not one but two Biden officials sharing how they knew Biden was not in his right state of mind. Rob Silvers who was the Undersecretary for Policy at the Department of Homeland Security and Henry Appel at the National Security Council Staffer blathered about Biden’s mental cognitive state. The tapes are great evidence for upcoming investigations.

    In kind of a reverse Time Magazine piece, the Wall Street Journal revealed a tell-all tale of how the Biden Team conducted a RICO conspiracy to ensure the American people were not aware of Biden’s poor condition. The Time Magazine piece from February 2021 and the December 19, 2024, WSJ pieces are courtroom admissible confessions of the RICO conspiracy fraud foisted upon America. Harris, Blinken, Taylor Swift, Nate Silver, Ann Selzer, Oprah, etc. They were all in on it. And when it didn’t work, they tried to blame Biden and Harris. And where is Biden? Auto penning pardons. The real President is Donald J. Trump, the inauguration on January 20, 2025, is just a formality and should be back-dated.

  5. ‘Saturday Night Live’ Audience Cheers and Applauds Wildly When Host Mentions UnitedHealthcare CEO Murderer Luigi Mangioni (VIDEO)

    The audience at Saturday Night Live appears to have a strange affection for cold-blooded killers.

    During the sketch show’s Weekend Update, host Colin Jost started reporting that the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangioni, had dropped his extradition fight from Pennsylvania to face charges in New York.

    Yet as soon as Jost mentioned his name, the audience burst out in cheers and applause.

    “Yeah… woo,” Jost responded. “You’re wooing for justice, right?”

    “In related news, Bumble exploded,” he then quipped.

    The audience’s response reflects the feelings of many Americans, a significant percentage of whom appear to believe that Mangioni was justified in killing Thompson because of the sins of the greedy healthcare industry.

    Just yesterday, The New York Post reported that besotted fans of Mangioni had sent him hundreds of letters and even prison spending money to show support for his act of merciless violence.

    Meanwhile, many have attempted to downplay his crime on the grounds that Mangioni is abnormally handsome for a violent criminal.

    Last week, Jimmy Kimmel ran a segment admitting that his staff “love” Mangioni and were feeling a “huge wave of horny” just by looking at him.

    “Many women and men are going nuts over how good-looking this killer is, and there’s a huge wave of horny washing over us,” Kimmel quipped. “It’s like when one of the guys you work with says I had a dream about you last night.”

    Imagine being Brian Thompson’s widow and children watching this. https://t.co/Qv37tqy7R6

    A shock poll carried out this week found that an alarming number of young people believe Mangioni was justified in killing Thompson.

    • Poll of “young people” exposed to indoctrination at university? Products of grade schools with teachers as clueless? Disney 21st century?
      This is the same morally challenged cohort that cheered 10/07. I’d like to know the real numbers.

      Or maybe not.

  6. Jill Biden Seeking REVENGE On Democrats?

    According to some reports, Jill Biden is allegedly seeking revenge on certain Democrats, including Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, for what she perceives as their role in undermining her husband’s political legacy.

    Sources suggest that she feels particularly betrayed by these figures, with some insiders claiming she has encouraged President Biden to “burn it all down” as a form of retaliation.

    There have been mentions of her influence in decisions like the pardon of Hunter Biden, which some interpret as a move to stir controversy within the party.

  7. Coast Guardsman Blasts Biden Regime for ‘Making Sh-t Up’ After Vessel Tailed by Fleet of Drones
    thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/coast-guardsman-blasts-biden-regime-making-sh-t/

    Tensions are rising among Coast Guardsmen stationed in Barnegat Light as the Biden administration continues to dismiss accounts of a mysterious swarm of drones tailing a U.S. Coast Guard rescue vessel earlier this month.

    What began as a routine patrol quickly turned into an unsettling encounter, leaving many sailors demanding answers—and respect.

    A member of the Coast Guard, speaking anonymously to The New York Post, expressed outrage over the administration’s flippant dismissal of their firsthand experiences.

    “It’s the implication that’s insulting,” the Guardsman said. “It’s implying we’re making sh-t up, when the ones making up sh-t are down in Washington, D.C.”

    The alleged incident involved a fleet of 12 to 30 drones shadowing a 47-foot Coast Guard rescue vessel during a patrol of the Atlantic Ocean.

    According to the sailor, the drones appeared suddenly around 9 p.m., maintained a steady pace with the vessel cruising at 20 knots, and maneuvered in a way no commercial aircraft could.

    “I’m terrible with measurements, but [the swarm] was about 80 to 100 feet above us. They had four propellers. Seven feet across. The flashing lights, like you’ve seen. The festive green, red, and white lights.”

    “Commercial airplanes don’t move like that,” he said. “I’ve been out there [on the water] when planes were coming in for landings in New York, and trust me, you can tell the difference. We’re not idiots, we know what drones look and sound like.”

    Despite these detailed accounts, federal officials, including White House spokesman John Kirby, dismissed the reports.

    Kirby suggested that the sightings were likely misidentifications of manned aircraft, such as incoming airliners, helicopters, or even stars, asserting that forensic analysis did not indicate the presence of drones.

    “Having closely examined the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones. We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess the activity to date to present a national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the northeast, according to the joint statement from DHS, FBI, FAA & DoD.

    However, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) raised alarms over unidentified drones observed near U.S. military installations, suggesting they may be adversarial and likely of Chinese origin.

    McCaul wrote, “Probably not. I think they’re going to say they don’t know. And that’s a concern in and of itself, that if we have drones flying around military bases and we can’t identify where they came from or who’s responsible for them. I know there are a lot of commercial drones out there, and Secretary Mayorkas has talked about this.”

    He continued, “That’s fine. But the ones flying over our military bases. By definition, I would say, are adversarial. We need to know who is behind that because I believe they’re spy drones. The PRC, Chinese Chinese China is very good at this stuff. We know they bought land around military bases. This would be very consistent with their policy over the last couple of years.”

    Meanwhile, Belleville Mayor Michael Melham (R) claimed the drones may be connected to missing radioactive material.

    “There was—and there is—an alert that’s out right now that radioactive material in New Jersey has gone missing. On December second, it was a shipment. It arrived at its destination, the container was damaged, and it was empty. So potentially we’re looking for that,” Melham said.

  8. Does Use of Force Scenario and Shooting in Chicago Prove Futility of Gun ‘Turn-in’ Events?

    Just one week ago we were reporting on so-called “turn-in” events in the Windy City. The philosophy of course is that if the public servants can remove firearms from the equation, all their crime issues will go with them. Many know that statistically, that’s not true, and in reality, it’s the inverse that proves to be factual. Chicago has a crime problem, regardless of there being guns involved or not. Early morning on Saturday the 21st there were reports of shots being fired and it escalated into a police use of force situation.
