Former president Donald Trump ripped into National Review on Friday, arguing that it is a magazine without any remaining influence in an official statement issued along with an image of his 2024 campaign logo.
“Why does anyone read the National Review. They are so negative to Conservatives and me, and are seen as being led by lightweights that couldn’t shine the shoes of Bill Buckley. They have absolutely nothing going, it is failing fast, and my only question is, who is paying for the losses — when it loses plenty of money and serves no purpose at all. People are tired of haters —

San Francisco - Elon Musk has reportedly sent a company email to the Twitter engineering team asking anyone who writes software to report to Twitter HQ in San Francisco Friday by 2 p.m. The email was reported by Platformer editor Zoë Schiffer and corroborated by a report in Fortune. The Fortune report also cites a source indicating that between 1,000 to 1,200 employees effectively resigned Thursday by declining to click “yes” on a form Musk sent out requiring employees to commit to working long hours at intense pace if they wished to remain at Twitter. Musk’s demand that Twitter staff go ‘hardcore,’ or leave was apparently not well received

Christmas has come early for conservatives!
Republicans will gain control of the House of Representatives come January, and you know what that means: The GOP will control all of the House committees. Good news, indeed, in the wake of Democrats abusing their majority position to embark on witch hunt after witch hunt. The best news of all may just be that conservative rock star Jim Jordan (R-OH) will chair the House Judiciary Committee. And he is ready to get down to business. His first order of business? Demanding accountability from the DOJ and the FBI:

Exclusive: Former President Trump blasted the Biden Justice Department's appointment of a special counsel to take over investigations related to presidential records and January 6, telling Fox News he "won’t partake in it," and calling it "the worst politicization of justice in our country," while urging the Republican Party to take action.
"I have been going through this for six years—for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore," Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Friday shortly after the announcement. "And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this."

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried sold a stake in the company worth $300 million when the crypto exchange raised capital last year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing the firm's financial records and people familiar with the transaction.
At the time, Bankman-Fried told investors it was a partial reimbursement of money he'd spent to buy out rival Binance’s stake in FTX a few months earlier, the report added. Bankman-Fried and FTX did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment on the matter. The Journal's report cited FTX's October 2021 funding round where the company had raised $420 million from a clutch of big name investors

If there's anything that signals how deeply the now-bankrupt FTX's founder Sam Bankman-Fried had sunk the hooks in with the Washington swamp, it's news that the New York Times was planning to host and fete the cryptocurrency-exchange founder, alongside luminaries such as Volodymyr Zelensky, Mark Zuckerberg, and Janet Yellen, on November 30. According to Evie magazine:
The New York Times’ DealBook Summit will be taking place on November 30, 2022. The event will include Sam Bankman-Fried, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen as guest speakers.
The Dealbook Summit is an annual event

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said Friday he was bringing back three high-profile accounts that have previously been suspended for breaking the service's rules, but he said he hadn't made a decision about former President Donald Trump's account.
"Trump decision has not yet been made," Musk said in a tweet, as Twitter users braced for sweeping changes on the service that Musk bought three weeks ago. Musk said he was bringing back comedian Kathy Griffin, academic Jordan Peterson and conservative comedy site Babylon Bee. Twitter permanently suspended Trump's account nearly two years ago, citing his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and the potential for more violence.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel for two ongoing criminal investigations by the Department of Justice of former President Donald Trump. Smith’s appointment came three days after Trump, a Republican, announced plans to run for president in 2024. Trump’s move directly led to Garland’s decison to appoint a special counsel, who will recommend whether criminal charges should be lodged against the ex-president. The attorney general was appointed by Biden, a Democrat who defeated Trump in his 2020 re-election bid. Biden could again face Trump again in the 2024 election. CORRECTION*

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley has sent a letter to three officials appointed by the Bide White House demanding to know what they know about the diversion of customer funds into Democrat campaign contributions by cryptocurrency behemoth FTX even as that company was hurtling towards bankruptcy. How much effect this letter will have remains to be seen. Senator Hawley will still be in the minority when the new Senate meets. Chuck Schumer has no interest in investigating a Democrat donor who gave $20 million to Joe Biden, spent $32 million in the midterms, and has pledged to spend $1 billion in 2024.

When Joe Biden came into office, he promised to make Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (commonly referred to as “MBS”) a “pariah” on the world stage. That was in response to the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Muslim Brotherhood acolyte that also moonlit as a “journalist” for The Washington Post. That’s what makes the Biden administration’s latest move so peculiar. In what is a pretty shocking u-turn, they are now offering public support for MBS, saying that he has legal immunity from any lawsuits related to the act.

The collapsed cryptocurrency exchange platform FTX claims former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried 'hacked' its systems after filing for bankruptcy to transfer 'digital assets' to Bahamian regulators.
FTX lodged the motion in the US Bankruptcy Court in Delaware on Thursday saying it had evidence to suggest the Bahamas government ordered Bankman-Fried, 30, to gain 'unauthorized access' while in custody. 'In connection with investigating a hack on Sunday, November 13, Mr. Bankman-Fried and [FTX co-founder Gary] Wang, stated in recorded and verified texts that 'Bahamas regulators' instructed that certain post-petition transfers of Debtor assets be made by Mr. Wang and Mr. Bankman-Fried (who the Debtors understand were both effectively

Fox News Host Jesse Watters said Thursday on “The Five” that he wants the Republican-led House to investigate outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci over how he handled the COVID pandemic.
Watters said, “So when they throw these subpoenas down, it’s going to look like a cover-up. I am really proud of the Republicans for throwing down the gauntlet that hard. Now I don’t care if it is a red wave, read trickle, Nancy Pelosi is gone. And very happy about that, and she leaves are really just a vicious legacy from corruption to ObamaCare to all kinds of shenanigans and reckless spending.”
