President Joe Biden on Thursday celebrated the news that his administration had successfully secured the release of WNBA basketball player Brittney Griner, who was detained in Russia. “Brittney is an incomparable athlete,” Biden said, noting she was a two-time Olympic Gold medalist for the United States. Griner was arrested in February at a Moscow airport by Russian officials for possession of cannabis vape cartridges. “She represents the best about America — just across the board, everything about her,” Biden said.(Photo) The Biden administration secured Griner’s release after they agreed to exchange her freedom for the release of Viktor Bout, a convicted international weapons dealer.

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said that as Speaker of the House, he would issue subpoenas for the 51 intelligence officials who signed a letter weeks before the 2020 election claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story looked like Russian disinformation.
During a Fox interview over the weekend, McCarthy - who will likely become the lower chamber's next leader - said Republicans, under his leadership, will 'bring the (the intelligence agents) before committee' and ask them 'why did they lie to the American public?'
'Those 51 intel agents that signed a letter that said the Hunter Biden information was all wrong - was Russia collusion - many of them have a security clearance,'
Leftists love to claim that hate speech on Twitter has skyrocketed since billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover, but on Thursday he set the record straight.
Representative Adam Schiff, D-Calif., jumped on the platform to “demand action” on the purported rise in racism, sexism, and antisemitism. But Musk swooped in to swiftly take the air out of the liberal lawmaker’s sails.(Tweet) “False, hate speech impressions are actually down by 1/3 for Twitter now vs prior to acquisition,” Musk responded. (Tweet) But Musk wasn’t the only one to recognize Schiff’s disinformation:
NASA's uncrewed Orion capsule hurtled through space on Sunday on the final return leg of its voyage around the moon and back, winding up the inaugural mission of the Artemis lunar program 50 years to the day after Apollo's final moon landing. (Photo) The gumdrop-shaped Orion capsule, carrying a simulated crew of three mannequins wired with sensors, was due to parachute into the Pacific at 9:39 a.m. PST (1739 GMT) near Guadalupe Island, off Mexico's Baja California peninsula.
Orion was nearing the end of its 25-day mission less than a week after passing about 79 miles (127 km) above the moon in a lunar fly-by and about two weeks after reaching
Hundreds of workers are expected to be laid off when automaker Stellantis closes an assembly plant in northern Illinois early next year, citing the challenge of rising costs of electric vehicle production.
The company, which employs about 1,350 workers at the plant in Belvidere, Illinois, said the action will result in indefinite layoffs and it may not resume operations as it considers other options.
Stellantis said the industry 'has been adversely affected by a multitude of factors like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the global microchip shortage, but the most impactful challenge is the increasing cost related to the electrification of the automotive market.'
Victor Bout gave his first interview on Saturday since his release from prison in the US.
On Friday, Joe Biden traded the “Merchant of Death” for pot-smoking America-hating WNBA star Brittney Griner.
WNBA star Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug smuggling with criminal intent in a Russian court back in August. Russian prosecutors pushed for a sentence of 9.5 years in a penal colony.
Russia released Brittney in exchange for international arms dealer Viktor Bout.
The latest release of the Twitter Files reveal shifting opinions among executives about how to handle the effects of January 6 and the protests.
The fourth edition of the Files was released by journalist Michael Shellenberger on Saturday, and went into details on Twitter's changes in decision making on Jan. 7, the day after thousands gathered and rushed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.
Senior executives at Twitter "create[d] justifications to ban Trump," attempt to "seek a change of policy for Trump alone distinct from other political leaders" and "express[ed] no concern for the free speech or democracy implications of a ban," claims Shellenberger.
Joe Biden’s crackhead, hooker-loving son Hunter is planning a defamation suit against Fox News, Eric Trump, Delaware computer repairman John Paul Mac Isaac and Rudy Giuliani.
Hunter’s Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris spoke with Biden’s allies in a private meeting last year and suggested lawsuits will be filed against Hunter’s accusers, according to the Washington Post.

“I assure you, after the early warning system receives a signal of a missile attack, hundreds of our missiles are in the air. It is impossible to stop them,” Putin warned at a summit in Kyrgyzstan according to Fox News.
“There will be nothing left of the enemy, because it is impossible to intercept a hundred missiles. This, of course, is a deterrent — a serious deterrent,” Putin added. (Tweet/Video)
This Hunter Biden painting is selling for the price of a house.
The most expensive artwork at the first son’s new SoHo show is priced at $225,000 — and already has two interested buyers, The Post has learned.
On Saturday, a gallery worker refused to give The Post details on the potential buyers of the untitled, 57×98 inch, mustard-yellow floral painting on Yupo Japanese paper.
President Biden’s scandal-scarred son sold two other works a day after his second solo art show opened at the Georges Berges Gallery Friday.
Our joke of a justice department has run into another roadblock in its ridiculous crusade against Donald Trump over his alleged possession of classified documents. On Saturday, a federal judge spiked the DOJ’s request to hold Trump in contempt of court for supposedly not complying with the original subpoena that eventually led to the raid of his Mar-a-Lago home.
At the time, Trump had not yet assigned someone with the task of signing off on whether all the classified materials were returned or not. The DOJ wanted a sworn statement, and when they didn’t get it, they went nuclear. The judge in the case isn’t willing to do their dirty work
Kari Lake has filed a lawsuit challenging the Arizona gubernatorial election results - and is seeking a court order that declares her the winner.
The 70-page suit filed on Friday asks for an order declaring that Lake is the winner of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, or alternatively throwing out the results and requiring the state's Maricopa county to conduct a new election.

NPR interviewed Newt Gingrich for Friday's All Things Considered, ostensibly to underline how successful President Biden has been. Their headline at NPR.org was "Newt Gingrich thinks the GOP needs to stop underestimating Biden." Anchor Mary Louise Kelly couldn't help but steer the car into the woods when Newt said the 2020 election was "rigged," as in Twitter censorship and Zuckerbucks.
Kelly started down a well-worn path when she asked Newt whether Trump helped or hurt in 2022, and he said we was very helpful in some races, and not in others.

The Guardian just reported the results of a study of 2 million-year-old DNA found in northern Greenland.
Two-million-year-old DNA from northern Greenland has revealed that the region was once home to mastodons, lemmings and geese, offering unprecedented insights into how climate change can shape ecosystems.
The breakthrough in ancient DNA analysis pushes back the DNA record by 1m years to a time when the Arctic region was 11-19C warmer than the present day. The analysis reveals that the northern peninsula of Greenland, now a polar desert, once featured boreal forests of poplar and birch trees teeming with wildlife. The work offers clues to how species might adapt,
On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) stated that Viktor Bout, the arms dealer who was serving time in prison for agreeing to supply weapons to U.S. agents posing as Colombian terrorists to kill Americans, freed by the Biden administration in the prisoner swap to secure the release of Brittney Griner from Russia, is “a nasty, bad” person, but “He has not killed Americans.” Although, Jackson Lee noted that Bout’s “weapons might have been used to kill Americans.”
Jackson Lee stated, “Let me say this, no one knows the story of Paul — of the weapons dealer, if you will.

“On an everyday basis I am deflecting being attacked, scratched, headbutted, pushed, hit,” teacher Alicia Kelderhouse said as her voice choked with emotion. “I’ve had my hair pulled, and pulled down to the ground.

Brittney Griner negotiator Bill Richardson has expressed his sadness that Paul Whelan didn't come home together with the basketball star, adding that he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin overruled his advisers at the end of negotiations, dismissing a "two-for-two" exchange of prisoners. "I was sad that Paul Whelan was not part of it. I've been for four years trying to find formulas to get Paul back, but it always seems that, at the very end, there's a roadblock," Richardson, a former New Mexico governor and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, told CBC on Friday.

They wrote a column for FOX News: We worked for Dr. Ben Carson. We know Dr. Ben Carson. Canceling him is just not right.

Despite the midterm elections loss of four compelling Republican Senate candidates, a handful of persistent, emboldened senators have stepped forward to re-establish their authority, thereby creating the beginning of a paradigm shift in the Senate's balance of power. In addition, on January 3, four new senators, all oriented to America First, will take their seats.
Beginning with the November 16 challenge to Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)'s thirty-year reign, ten senators voted to oppose his 2022 reappointment.
