ATTORNEY GENERAL: Shortly after Matt Gaetz withdrew his name, Trump nominated former Florida AG Pam Bondi for the post. CLICK https://x.com/FoxFriendsFirst/status/1858861198613111061 [3:01] to see her comment on the FEMA scandal.

On MSNBC, college professor and contributor Jason Johnson warned that Bondi in the AG slot should spark “fear” among the left because she’s competent, knows the job, and might actually execute Trump’s agenda. Oh noes!

CATHOLIC: I think it’s about how, when we suffer gracefully, we grow in holiness, and the more holy we are at death, the more of God’s glory we will enjoy throughout eternity.

CANNABIS: A new study entitled “Key insights into cannabis-cancer pathobiology and genotoxicity” was published last week in Addiction Biology.” It reports on research done at the University of Western Australia that found exposure to cannabis associated with birth defects and a range of cancers – breast, pancreatic, liver, thyroid, testicular and lymphoma – that develop quickly and are more aggressive than the usual. They also found that cannabis use could cause DNA mutations that could be passed on to children. Recreational marijuana use is legal in 24 states, 3 U.S. territories and the District of Columbia.

TARGET: “Merry Christmas” is back! In other YES! News, Target has apologized to and rehired an employee in their Fargo, North Dakota store who had written “Trust in Jesus” on her name tag.

NEW YORK: Judge Juan Merchan has delayed sentencing indefinitely in President Trump’s hush money case and has granted Trump permission to file a motion to dismiss the case.

WASHINGTON: Olympus Spa has lost its appeal to the 9th Circuit Court. The spa took to the courts to fight Washington State’s requirement that biologically intact males be permitted in the women’s-only, nude spaces. Ninth Circuit Court Judge M. Margaret McKeown, a Clinton appointee, ruled the spa’s policy to be equivalent to a “whites only” rule. Let’s pray the Supremes take this on and establish that the rights of real women to privacy and safety are more important than … you know.

CABLES: As I reported yesterday, two undersea communications cables in the Baltic Sea, one between Germany and Finland and the other connecting Lithuania and Sweden, were cut on the same day. MSN reports that the Chinese bulk carrier Yi Peng 3, en route from Ust-Luga in Russia to Port Said, was in the exact location of both cables at the moment they were cut, and was also tracked as slowing down both times.

DIDDY: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is behind bars as he awaits trial. I don‘t know how many charges they’ll go for, but there are reportedly more than 120 people who have filed criminal and civil charges. Many say he drugged and raped them.

GAETZ: “It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.”

GERMANY: “There are, unfortunately, neighborhoods in Berlin with a majority of residents from Arab backgrounds where there is open sympathy for terrorist organizations and very blatant antisemitism.” This warning comes after “6,200 investigations related to antisemitism” in Germany since October 2023.

JESUS IS GOD: The earliest inscription declaring Jesus as God was discovered beneath the floor of an Israeli prison and is now on display in America. Known as the Megiddo Mosaic, the massive (581 square feet) piece dates from 230 AD. It is the oldest-known inscription outside of Scripture to declare the deity of Jesus Christ.

LAKEN RILEY: The illegal charged in her death has been found guilty on all charges. These included one count of malice murder, three counts of felony murder and one count each of kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, hindering an emergency telephone call, tampering with evidence, and being a ‘peeping Tom.’ The killer is a member of the Tren de Aragua gang that has set up shop in more than a dozen U.S. cities. This particular member, Jose Ibarra, is not only here illegally, but also, thanks to the Biden administration, was put up in hotels and flown to his preferred destination at taxpayers’ expense before he murdered Riley.

McBride is a fully intact man who dresses up as a woman. In AOC’s teeny tiny brain, Mace has no right to be bothered about sharing her potty time with a penis. Remember when Democrats were all over that #MeToo thing?

BORDER: Mass invasion of a country is an act of war. Removing the invaders is a proportional response. – The governors of Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, and Massachusetts, as well as the mayors of Chicago and Boston, have announced their intention to defy Trump’s deportation orders.

CATHOLIC: [7:15] – If you are concerned about our current pope, this is well worth watching.

COMMERCE: Trump has nominated billionaire Howard Lutnick to “lead our Tariff and Trade agenda, with additional direct responsibility for the Office of the United States Trade Representative.”

COMMUNICATIONS: Two undersea fiber-optic communication cables have been cut. Both are in the Baltic Sea, one between Lithuania and Sweden and the other between Finland and Germany. Germany’s Defense Minister says he believes the damage is sabotage, but nobody knows who did it.

EDUCATION: Trump has nominated Linda McMahon to serve as secretary of the Department of Education with his mandate to “send Education BACK TO THE STATES.

GAETZ: If you’ve heard that Gaetz is a sex trafficker and/or child predator, please be aware that a years-long DOJ investigation into his alleged trafficking of a 17-year-old girl found absolutely nothing and was dropped in 2023. Of course, the lefties are resurrecting it to smear him before his confirmation hearings.

She clearly wasn’t happy about being forced to speak the truth.

MEDICARE and MEDICAID: Trump has nominated famed television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz to head up the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Oz has degrees from Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Wharton Business School. He has worked as a heart surgeon and taught cardiothoracic surgery at Columbia University. Trump wants him to work with RFK Jr. “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.” Oz will also be tasked with cutting waste and fraud in the agency, which he said makes up “a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire national budget.”

RFK Jr: One commenter wrote, “Make it make sense!” It’s easy … just follow the money!

S&G: Democrat Sarah McBride, an openly trans mtf, has won Delaware’s U.S. House seat and will be joining his/her new colleagues in January.

BORDER: On Monday, Trump said he is planning to declare a national emergency and use the U.S. military to carry out mass deportations. If any Dems you know object, remind them what Clinton did to capture and deport a six year old.

KAMALA: Reports that Kamala Harris paid $1 million for Oprah town hall are false. Turns out she spent $2.5 million.

LITERALLY HITLER: Scott Jennings noted the raging hypocrisy of Democrats and their lapdogs in the Left Stream Media. “It’s amazing that ‘literally Hitler’ is getting all these meeting requests. What it tells me is that all the rhetoric that came from the left, from the Democrats, from The White House, from Kamala Harris and everyone else before the election. All of the rhetoric, the fascism, the Hitler, the Nazi rally, it was all a bunch of BS. They didn’t mean any of it. If I were in the Democrat sort of rabble’s shoes, I would be looking at all my leaders and going: ‘Did you just BS me for an entire six weeks before the election?’

Yes. Yes, they did.

MORNING JOE: Joe Scarborough and his wife, Mika Brzezinski, have spent the last umpteen years slandering Trump and his followers. After election day, their already pathetic rating plummeted so they called Trump and ask for a meeting. Trump, who must be the most gracious not-really-a-politician on the planet, hosted them for breakfast at Mar-a-Lago.

What I want to know is … what’s with the fleece hoodies? Is MSNBC so broke that they have turned off the heat?

WWIII: On Sunday, AP reported, “President Joe Biden has for the first time authorized Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia.”

Vladimir Putin has said in the past that this would constitute an act of war by NATO.

This morning, CNBC reported, “Russia says Ukraine attacked it using U.S.-made missiles.

In response, Putin signed an “updated nuclear doctrine” authorizing the use of nuclear weapons in the event of a mass drone strike or aggression against Belarus.

Donald Trump said, “I’m calling on Putin and Zelensky to meet with me and end this terrible war. We’re closer to nuclear WWIII than ever. The killing must stop!

AUSTRALIA: [4:37] – A new ruling has barred this champion runner from competing in the Paralympics.

CATHOLIC: [4:32] – I like what he says about not needing to have any emotional experience or aha from the readings or homily, cuz sometimes I just don’t. It’s good to know it’s enough that we were there participating and being present to the Lord.

EDUCATION: CLICK https://www.tiktok.com/@ahtjordan/video/7436090655551606048 to hear Trump’s plan.

GIFT FROM GOD: The preacher who revealed this says there are two things that are required of us during this reprieve from the time of destruction – to pray for Trump to be humble and follow God so that the time of reprieve will be fulfilled, and to pray for the souls of all those who have not yet given their lives to Jesus Christ.

HEALTH: Some time ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) allocated nearly $10 million of taxpayers’ money to fund several projects, one of which was a study led by Dr. Joanna Olson-Kennedy, who works as the medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

The study provided puberty blockers to 95 children with an average age of less than 11.5 years who suffered from gender dysphoria. Their plan was to analyze whether these drugs improved the mental health of the children. To their dismay, the found the drugs did nothing to help these kids, so the NIH decided not to publish the tax-funded study lest it be “weaponized” by critics and lawmakers who want to prohibit doctors from prescribing these drugs to children.

A subcommittee in the House of Representatives has launched an inquiry.

REGULATIONS: One of the things Trump did when he was 45 was cut a yuge number of wasteful regulations. He’s promised that, as 47, he will step up the fight against government red tape.

GRAMMY NOTES: My parents didn’t believe in allowances for doing nothing. It was more like, “If you do not work, you will not eat.” I remember shining my brothers’ shoes before Mass on Sundays for ten cents a pair when I was in grade school.

THE VIEW: [5:50] – Whoopi Goldberg blasted a specific bakery for allegedly refusing to make their signature cupcakes for her birthday. The bakery in question told the person making the order that their aged boiler was on the fritz and they couldn’t make any promises. To make this story even worse, the baker was able to get the boiler fixed in time to make the cupcakes … the same cupcakes that Goldberg was showing off as she blasted the bakery for supposedly having lied. So rather than give the bakery a pat on the back for coming through despite mechanical difficulties, she slandered them! ::smh::

In other news, I’ve heard two lawyers say the bakery has grounds to sue Goldberg. I’m thinking they might want to send her some complimentary cupcakes, cuz their business is apparently booming … lines down the block, sold out early. ❤

CATHOLIC: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/532394059634497 to hear how we respect and love Mary. We do not and never have worshiped her.

CNN: With post-election ratings plummeting, CNN is planning to axe some of its high-paid staff. Sounds like a plan, especially given that some, like Anderson Cooper, make as much as $20 million per year! As Gwen Walz said, “Buh-bye! Time to turn the page!

COVID-19: On July 26, 2020, the CDC issued an official plan entitled “Interim Operational Considerations for Implementing the Shielding Approach to Prevent COVID-19 Infections in Humanitarian Settings.” It presented the CDC’s plan for “implementing the shielding approach in humanitarian settings as outlined in guidance documents focused on camps, displaced populations and low-resource settings. “

The document describes how they wanted to herd people who were deemed at high risk for severe disease were to be isolated, given only food and some cleaning supplies. They would be denied the right to legal appeals or legal counsel. They would be banned from worshiping. However, there was a plan to prevent suicides, just in case you thought they were going all fascist on you.

Understand that “shielding” is code for “herding people into concentration camps where we can control them.” Right at the beginning of the document, the CDC admits their plan had never been tried. IOW, nobody knew if it would do anything to save lives.

Also, recall that the governments of Australia and Canada actually did this. Of course, those countries don’t have the Second Amendment, which may be why the CDC wasn’t able to implement something similar here. The document was removed from the CDC website about March 26, 2023, but is still available at the archive link below.

DOGE: Posted by Musk on Nov 12 – “All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know! We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.

SUGGESTIONS already posted: Payments to dead people. Money for Pakistani gender studies. Boosting Egyptian tourism. Make up classes for trans people in the Middle East. The 501c4 loop hole for foreign aid. Funding universities that are sitting on billions of dollars of endowments. NPR. Free college for illegals. Watching squirrels fornicate. Maintaining empty buildings.

Also, “take digital copies of all agency annual audit reports, feed them into a Retrieval Augmented Generation AI application (RAG), and query for patterns indicating fraud, waste, and abuse. The output could be refined and prioritized for further examination and action” and “look at Rand Paul’s reports.”

My favorite: “Stop funding anything that is not in the Constitution.”

FBI: [6:35] – Another day, another raid.

HHS: Yesterday, Biden’s Department of Health and Services for Sexual Deviants celebrated “Transgender Awareness Week” which runs from Nov. 13 to 19, should not be confused with “Trans Day of Remembrance” (November 20). Cuz, yeah, we all need to have that shoved down our throats again, since “Trans Day of Visibility” (March 31), “Day of Silence” (for trans students on April 12), “International Day Against Transphobia” (May 17), “Harvey Milk Day” (May 22), “Pride Month” (June), “LGBTQ+ History Month“ (October), and “International Pronoun Day“ (October 16) were clearly not enough.

Also yesterday, Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”

In other news, some FDA employees are threatening to quit if Kennedy gets confirmed. Good. It’ll save him having to fire them.

CLICK https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1857173898531389878 [5:49] to hear RFK Jr. talk about how badly our health has deteriorated since the early 1990s, in large part because the government works hand-in-hand with big food corporations to poison processed foods. I was interested to hear what he had to say about Yellow Dye #5. Way back in the early 1990s, my hairdresser was telling me about this terrible rash he had developed. When he went to a dermatologist, she quickly identified this food coloring as the culprit. He had made a huge pot of chicken stock and added Yellow Dye #5 to make it look more yummy. He had been using this big batch of stock repeatedly in his meals, which he cooked from scratch and assumed were healthy for him. I don’t bake, but occasionally will get a slice of birthday cake or something handed to me. I always scrape off any dyed frosting and, if the inside is a funky color, just give it a pass altogether.

IGNORANCE: In this day and age, I think it is inexcusable to be this dumb. “Claire” clearly wasn’t already familiar with the Jerusalem Cross, but all she had to do was google. I tried “5 cross tattoo” and got multiple hits for it. I also tried “swastika” and found it is not among the choices.

MILITARY: Good.

TENNESSEE: The violent Venezuelan street gang, Tren de Aragua (TDA) that has taken over entire apartment buildings is now operating in every major city in Tennessee. Tennessee is a red state that is nowhere near the southern border.

TOLERANCE: Two of the white women who can’t stand the majority of Americans have joined the ranks of the unemployed following backlash for hate-filled rants they posted.

TRANS: Last year, Russia banned gender-transition medical procedures and its Supreme Court declared the LGBTQ+ ‘movement’ to be extremist. Now, the government is thinking about banning adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transitioning is legal. Americans have been banned from adopting Russian babies for over a decade. Most of the countries that would be banned if this new rule passes are in Europe, plus Australia, Argentina, and Canada.

2024: Election denying is cool again.

ATTORNEY GENERAL: Trump has chosen Matt Gaetz for this post saying he “will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.” I hope the man has a good b.s. detector, cuz Justice seems to be riddled with woke progs who need to be pink slipped outta there.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Gaetz resigned his seat early so it can be filled as soon as possible.

DOGE: “The three-letter agencies are so fat that they can hardly even move. DOGE is a torpedo that’s about to blow them out of the water.” – Commodore Vanderbilt at Not the Bee

FEMA: That former FEMA supervisor who told her people to ignore hurricane-stricken homes in Florida if there were any Trump signs or flags says lots of her colleagues did the same thing. And an anonymous FEMA official told The New York Post that the agency has not only been skipping Trump-supporting houses, but also avoiding “white or conservative-dominated” disaster zones altogether for years. Hmm … so it wasn’t our imagination after all. Chalk up another win for the conspiracy theorists!

LAWFARE: What a coinkidink! The special counsel behind two of the federal lawfare prosecutions against Donald Trump will be wrapping up his work and stepping down right before Trump takes office in January.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: “Misogynist in Chief” Trump has chosen Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat and prez wannabe, to clean out the swamp in our intelligence community. I’m delighted to learn she is a Lieutenant Colonel in her state’s National Guard. If she’s half the woman my LTC offspring is, the scum dwellers better get busy polishing off their resumés.

P-NUT: He didn’t have rabies. Neither did Fred. And, you’ll never guess what … oh wait, of course you will. They were not euthanized because P-Nut bit somebody. They were slated for death a full seven days before they were taken from their home for … get this … a lack of documentation.

PENNSYLVANIA: “Sam Danson” has a Facebook page on which he calls Trump-voting Pennsylvanians sexists, racists, rapists, bigots, Nazis, bad parents, and fake Christians. After the election, he posted an upside down American flag, called Donald Trump a “domestic enemy” and his supporters “enemies in your towns,” and encouraged active military servicemen to refuse Trump’s orders as Commander in Chief. As soon as Libs of TikTok outed him as being Joey Maluchnik, Superintendent of Wilkinsburg schools, “Sam Danson” disappeared from Facebook.

SENATE: Senate Republicans have selected Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as their leader for the 119th Congress. He’s only got a 62% conservative voting record, which has got Trumper panties in a bunch. One can’t help wondering if his agenda is to roadblock Trump reforms. However, one could hope that anyone Harry Reid hated that much can’t be too bad.


STATE: That “disgusting racist”, Donald Trump, has nominated Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. If he is confirmed by the Senate, he will become the nation’s first Latino to serve in that position.

TEXAS: The Texas salon owner who was thrown in jail for defying COVID lockdown orders has claimed 75% of the vote for a seat in the Texas state House of Representatives. Shelley Luther ran on a platform that emphasized border security, honest elections, stopping the sexualization of children, securing the electricity grid, abolishing property taxes, and ending federal overreach in areas such as vaccine mandates.

TRANSITION: It is traditional for the lame duck to have a little sit-down with the incoming POTUS during which they make nice and shake hands for the camera. Trump’s first and second such visits could not have been more different. Besides the mens’ attitudes toward one another, there were also the ties (ash gray for Obama, dark red for Biden) and fireplace (cold for Obama, roaring fire for Biden).

CAMPAIGN SPENDING: Money can’t win the White House.

HEALTH: The FDA has approved a new genomic test that has an 86% success rate in diagnosing neurological infections, such as meningitis and encephalitis. Most other tests can only detect one or a few pathogens at a time; this new one can detect all pathogens present by analyzing the genetic material in a patient sample. It also analyzes the quantity, and therefore severity, of any infections.

The facility was open both Saturday and Sunday from 7 am to 7 pm, then opened again on Monday at 5 am. His family reported him missing on Sunday, but I guess nobody knew he might have gone to the gym, because his decomposing body was not found inside a tanning bed until shortly before 9 am after a patron complained of a foul odor.

Trump Appointments

CIA: Trump has selected John Ratcliffe to direct the Central Intelligence Agency. Ratcliffe was once an anti-terrorism and national security chief for Eastern Texas. As a member of Congress, he served on the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judiciary Committee. During Trump’s first term, he served as director of national intelligence.

Trump says, “I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve in both of our nation’s highest Intelligence positions. He will be a fearless fighter for the Constitutional Rights of all Americans, while ensuring the Highest Levels of National Security, and PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.

DOD: Trump has nominated Army combat veteran and longtime Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense saying, “Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country. Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice – Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down.

CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1856572061906346411 [:18] to hear from military brain trust, Joy Reid, about Hegseth’s appointment. She’s just bitter because, during election week, Hegseth’s show, FOX & Friends Weekend, had a million more viewers than her MSNBC show, The Reidout (1.7 million vs 715,000).

Hegseth actually has an impressive resumé, which Joyless would know if she ever did any actual journalism. As an Army National Guard captain, he served in Iraq and Afghanistan and earned two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge. A Princeton and Harvard graduate, Hegseth spent eight years as a Fox News host and is taking a large pay cut to serve as defense secretary. He wrote the bestseller “The War on Warriors,” a critique of left-wing policies undermining the military. And maybe best of all, he is an outsider to the defense industry.

CLICK https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1856497145588679059 [1:33] to hear what Hegseth had to say about fixing the military long before Trump won the election. Also, Hegseth is a virile manly man with a beautiful wife and seven kids. No wonder they hate him.

DOGE: Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. Like Trump, these are self-made men … not lawyers or politicians or lawyer-politicians who, like many of the people so-called “serving” in Congress, have never had to create or sell a product or service or meet a payroll. Many, like Kamala Harris have never worked in the public sector at all. You know, that place where your failure to achieve goals is not rewarded with insider trading deals and re-election.

Trump says, “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement.” He expects their entrepreneurial approach to government would send shock waves through Washington.
