Former President Donald Trump argued on Saturday that President Joe Biden‘s claims that Trump and his “Make America Great Again” movement pose a danger to democracy is a new “hoax” and that Biden is the “real threat.”
At a gala held by the New York Young Republican Club, Trump said Biden’s line of attack is based on “misinformation,” another in a growing list of controversies that date back to his successful 2016 campaign.
One of the most egregious form of business-interest bias in Spanish-language media occurs when it is deemed necessary to conceal the immigration status of the suspect of a heinous crime. Such is the case with Telemundo blatantly omitting that the recently-arrested killer of a 16-year-old Texas cheerleader was in the country illegally.

In a fiery statement released on Sunday, former President Donald J. Trump announced that he will not testify in his scheduled testimony in New York, slated for Monday.
Trump has labeled the investigation led by radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James, which concerns financial statements and business practices of the Trump Organization, as an “election interference witch hunt.”
Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York.
Following precise IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF killed the new commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion, Emad Krikae.
The previous commander of the Hamas battalion had already been killed by the IDF earlier in the war.
Since 2019, Krikae had been the Deputy Commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion. He was previously responsible for anti-tank missile training in the Gaza City Brigade.
Kirikae was also part of anti-tank missile fire and terrorist raids carried out inside Israeli territory. Following the elimination of the commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion during the war, Krikae temporarily assumed the position of battalion commander before also being killed by the IDF.
The lower President Biden sinks in the polls, the more outlandish his claims about his likely 2024 opponent become. He insists that the main reason he is running for another term is that former President Trump poses an existential threat to “our democracy.” Recently, for example, Biden equated Trump’s speeches with the “language you heard in Nazi Germany in the ‘30s.” This is an increasingly popular theme with Trump’s antagonists. TDS victim Liz Cheney recently told CBS News that electing Trump was analogous to “sleepwalking into dictatorship.” Trump, on the other hand, says that Biden is the real threat: “Joe Biden is the destroyer of American democracy.”
After the past week's Congressional hearings, the presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania are being exposed to an amount of publicity and scrutiny they're not used to and likely wish would go away. As we reported, the trio claimed that calls for genocide against Jews needed to be placed into context before deciding whether they violated student codes of conduct.
The backlash was swift, and so was the backpedaling. UPenn's Liz Magill wasn't able to keep her job, though, and Harvard's Claudine Gay might not be far behind.
Gay has already had a rough tenure, as investigative journalist Chris Rufo writes:
Abu Obeida, the masked spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, threatened on Sunday to kill all the remaining hostages taken during the Oct. 7 attacks unless Israel cedes to demands for more aid and prisoner exchanges.Speaking on a recorded broadcast reviewed by the Times of Israel, Obeida called Israel "fascist" and "arrogant":
Neither the fascist enemy and its arrogant leadership… nor its supporters… can take their prisoners alive without an exchange and negotiation and meeting the demands of the resistance.
Despite the fact that Israel Defense Forces is rapidly gaining ground in Gaza and large numbers of Hamas fighters have been surrendering, the terror leader vowed
Libertarian economist Javier Milei was inaugurated president of Argentina on Sunday, flanked by a host of heads of state – including Spanish King Felipe VI and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky – and surrounded by thousands of supporters in Buenos Aires.
Milei’s inauguration concludes a dramatic, and rapid, ascent to political power for the economist and television commentator, who formed his political party, Liberty Advances, in 2021. Liberty Advances won its first seats in the Argentine Congress that year on an anti-socialist, small-government platform. Milei’s first and only public office before becoming president was to serve in the Argentine Congress for two years. He is the nation’s first libertarian president

Infowars founder Alex Jones applauded billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday for reinstating him to X (formerly Twitter), but gave a sharp warning that “big establishment sponsors” will “come after him.”
Jones was reinstated on the social media platform Saturday night following a Twitter poll asking users if they would want the Infowars founder back on the site. After almost 2 million votes, results showed that 70.1% of responders wanted Jones back on. (X) The Infowars founder joined his first Twitter space Sunday afternoon to discuss his thoughts on how it feels to be back on the platform since being banned in 2018
Saturday Night Live continues to feel the backlash for its cold open sketch last night where the show mocked GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for her callout of elite college presidents over antisemitism.
The opening sketch attempted to make light of the college presidents' lacking testimony, but their efforts evoked few laughs.
The sketch continued to draw the ire across the political spectrum, with many calling for the show to apologize after missing the mark and backing 'woke' instead of calling out the leaders for their inability to denounce harassment.
Being a gracious winner is overrated and there’s nothing wrong with being a sore loser.
As far as being a “sore” loser goes, show this writer a “good” loser, and he’ll show you a loser. There’s nothing wrong with letting a loss bug you and eat away at you, especially if it helps provide some much-needed life motivation.
(Society could stand to benefit from quite a bit more of that sort of shame and introspection, but that’s neither here nor there.)
As far as how it’s overrated to be a gracious winner … Look, sportsmanship and decorum obviously have their place in civilized society.
Driving through Manhattan could soon become more expensive for drivers in New York City, as transportation authorities there have approved a congestion pricing plan. Some critics have criticized the move because it does not exempt taxis and Ubers, passing the cost along to those who don't drive.[SNIP] While it would require most drivers to pay a $15 base fare for entering the central business district south of 60th Street in Manhattan, there will be discounts available for low-income drivers.
The government has developed a dangerous affliction. Faced with intractable - maybe insoluble - problems, it has started to make policies on the basis of wishing them away, as if stating a much-desired outcome while ignoring serious obstacles could somehow bring it about. This is a species of what psychologists call “magical thinking”. [snip] The second example was less widely reported. Defence Secretary Grant Shapps’s assertions that the best vehicle for governing Gaza when the war ends is the Palestinian Authority, and that the British Support Team, a military unit that has been training the PA’s security forces for many years, should play a vital role, with its “capacity” enhanced.
A teacher fired over her concern for a student’s welfare is not going down without a fight.
Bonnie Manchester, whom MassResistance reported is a Christian, was sacked from a middle school in Ludlow, Massachusetts, back in 2021 after informing a female student’s father that the school was secretly referring to his daughter as a boy.
Two years on, Manchester is filing a $10 million lawsuit against Ludlow, its school board, current and former school district superintendents, and several former school employees.
One of the defendants, the school’s former librarian, is a woman who identifies as a man. She allegedly pushed books on children containing sexually explicit content,
Global warming charlatan Al Gore appeared on CNN on Sunday and told host Jake Tapper that there is a mental health crisis around the world because of the unsolved ‘climate change’ crisis.
“There is a mental health crisis around the world, I think that one of the main reasons for that is that young people look at the fact that we are not yet solving the climate crisis,” Al Gore said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“We hear the word thrown around ‘poly-crisis.’ Well, solving the climate crisis is a ‘poly-solution.’ We know what to do. We have the means to do it.
An illegal alien was arrested for the murder of a beautiful 16-year-old Texas high school cheerleader.
According to media reports, Medina’s murdered body was discovered in a bathtub by her mother on Tuesday.
Medina’s mother Jacqueline told KTRK that she got worried after her daughter never showed up to the Lighted Christmas Parade with her cheerleading squad.
Edna Police on Sunday announced they arrested Rafael Govea Romero, an illegal alien, for the murder of 16-year-old Lizabeth Medina.
Rafael Govea Romero was arrested in Schulenburg, Texas, approximately 75 miles from Edna.
It is unclear where Rafael Govea Romero is from or when he illegally entered the United States.

Former cable host Tucker Carlson announced on Saturday morning the launch of his new website, one that is certain to complete his phoenix-like rise out of the ashes that remain of Fox News.
For the price of $72 per year, TuckerCarlson.com is a new streaming platform that promises subscribers “hours of exclusive members-only content hosted by Tucker Carlson.”
Carlson took to X to deliver the news.
“We’ve been out of work for seven or eight months now,” he began. “Hard to know. Time flies when you’re unemployed.”
The Florida Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, is demanding answers from Dr. Robert M. Califf, the Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), regarding the detection of host cell DNA fragments in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna.
The Florida Surgeon General sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Califf and CDC Director Mandy Cohen on December 6, pressing for greater transparency about the potential for DNA integration into the human genome—a concern that could have far-reaching implications.
The Florida Public Health Integrity Committee discussed these issues on November 14, 2023, and Ladapo urged the FDA to consider their findings.
Joe Biden could be doing many things this weekend. He chose to spend the weekend in California with the rich and famous in Southern California. He’s begging for bucks and patting his donors on the back for helping him defeat Donald Trump in 2020. He hopes they will do the same in 2024.
If Joe Biden was a normal president, he would have attended the Army-Navy football game on Saturday afternoon. It is standard for a president to attend at least one of the games but Biden has not attended any of them since he’s been in office. During a fundraiser in Los Angeles Friday night, Biden told
In today's edition of Hoge’s Heroes, we bring you the story of over two dozen Utah high school kids who lifted a vehicle off a mother and her child who had become trapped after being run over in the parking lot of the school.
We’ll jump straight through to the all-important outcome – both the mom and her baby are expected to survive.
It all went down Tuesday when a driver ran into Bridgette Ponson and her two children, ages two and three, in the parking lot of Layton Christian Academy in Layton, Utah. Although the three-year-old daughter was able to free herself, Ponson and her two-year-old son were left pinned.
Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will step into a major role to help Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection bid.
According to NBC News, Hillary Clinton hosted a fundraiser at her home last month and raised $1 million for Joe Biden.
“People close to Hillary Clinton anticipate she’ll be a tireless campaigner for the Biden campaign, rallying Democratic voters by laying out the stakes and explaining why a Trump victory could subvert America’s democratic norms,” NBC News reported.
“Clinton’s role is only expected to grow in the new year, but for now, she is filling a space that at a later point in the campaign season former President Barack Obama will join.

New York— Donald Trump said Sunday he has decided against testifying for a second time at his New York civil fraud trial.
In a social media post, the former president said that he “VERY SUCCESSFULLY & CONCLUSIVELY” testified last month and saw no need to appear again.
Trump had been expected to return to the witness stand Monday as the last big defense witness in the case, which threatens his real estate empire and cuts to the heart of his image as a successful businessman.
Things are not going well for the Biden administration. Despite the marketing genius that is "Bidenomics," Americans continue to not buy what the president and his handlers are selling.

Still, they march valiantly forward, appearing on friendly news networks to tout their supposed economic successes, hoping for some messaging traction. Instead, even mainstream press members are growing weary. On Sunday, it was Biden budget director Shalanda Young's turn to try to convince people that water isn't wet.
What transpired was pure delusion.

on immigration. What are they and what

Washington— President Joe Biden is taking a more active role in Senate negotiations over changes to the immigration system that Republicans are demanding in exchange for providing money to Ukraine in its fight against Russia and Israel for the war with Hamas.
The Democratic president has said he is willing to make “significant compromises on the border” as Republicans block the wartime aid in Congress. The White House is expected to get more involved in talks this week as the impasse over changes to border policy has deepened and the funds remaining for Ukraine have dwindled.
