Now Big Brother Wants to Control the Gas
Pedal in Your Car

‘Fully prevent drivers from exceeding the speed limit’ Just when you thought there were no parts of your life not already under the thumb of the federal government, a new idea emerges. This time it comes from the National Transportation Safety Board and it involves outsiders having control of the gas pedal in your car. While you’re driving, of course. The proposal from the NTSB is to install “intelligent speed assistance” tech in all cars, a system that uses a car’s GPS location and local speed limit postings “to help ensure safe and legal speeds.” What the NTSB wants is to require systems that “warn” when a driver is speeding,

When it comes to political violence, the Left has a problem.
The Right likewise has a problem, but there's no shortage of commentary regarding this exact topic. In fact, even the federal government is laser-focused on violence from the Right. In contrast, left-wing violence in the United States tends to go largely unnoticed, if not unpunished.
A word of advice from a historical perspective, for both parties: Get your people under control, embrace coexistence, and stop trying to "immanentize the eschaton" via violence. Because if you do manage to brute force the U.S. into adopting your preferred reality,
There’s little doubt that members of elite media live in an entitled bubble of their own choosing, opting to see the world through a tainted lens that in many cases conveniently favors the Democratic Party, but every so often they feel compelled to remind us anyway.
Take Washington Post senior national political correspondent Ashley Parker, for example. The “reporter” took to social media to marvel over why it’s so hard to get an Uber in crime-ridden Washington, D.C.
Parker tweeted: “Serious Q: Why are there suddenly almost no @Uber in DC anymore, and the ones here regularly cancel or take forever to arrive?
In what is being perceived as another blow to Nancy Pelosi’s power hold, a close ally of the former speaker has announced plans to retire from politics.
U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), who represents Silicon Valley, will not seek reelection at the end of her term. At the age of 80, Eschoo is yet another octogenarian who has, in her case, been entrenched in Washington for 30 years.
“As the first woman and the first Democrat to ever represent our district, I’m very proud of the body of bipartisan work I’ve been able to achieve on your behalf in Congress,” Eshoo said in a video she shared online.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump will travel to Buenos Aires to meet with Argentina’s President-elect Javier Milei at an undisclosed date, Milei’s press office said in a statement published on Thursday.
According to the statement, Trump held a phone conversation with Milei on Wednesday evening, congratulating Milei on his victory in Argentina’s November 19 presidential runoff election, in which the libertarian economist defeated outgoing socialist Economy Minister Sergio Massa with a nearly 12-point lead.
During the conversation, Trump reportedly pointed out that Milei’s victory in Sunday’s election had a “great impact worldwide.”
“Trump anticipated that he will travel to the City of Buenos Aires to meet with him,”
The Gateway Pundit has reported on numerous examples of the inhumane treatment J6 political prisoners have faced.
Prisoners, like Infowars reporter and War Room host Owen Shroyer, are spending extended periods in solitary confinement, often without explanation.
John Strand was sentenced to 32 months in prison and despite the Bureau of Prison’s own scoring system, he was sent to prison and placed in isolation.
J6 political prisoner Barry Ramey, who was stabbed in the face for watching Tucker Carlson, shared the malnutrition they face, the mail discarded over political views, medical care being denied, and more.
The prisons also continue to use COVID
Joe Biden took a quick break from his Thanksgiving holiday at a billionaire’s estate in Nantucket to address the release of hostages from Hamas terrorists.
The Times of Israel provided the names and photos of the released hostages.
No American hostages were released on Friday.
Joe Biden hobbled over to the lectern. Was he limping? [Video]
Biden stunned reporters when he claimed Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Jews in Israel last month because of a railroad.
“Well I believe one of the reasons Hamas struck when they did because they knew that I was working very closely with the Saudis and others in the region
Gangster Bird 'Turkules' Finally Captured

After Evading Authorities—but NJ Mayor

A wild turkey with an attitude has been roaming the streets of West Orange, New Jersey, for months, stopping traffic and showing no fear—but he was finally caged Wednesday, according to officials. He caused so much chaos in the community that the NY Times wrote a story about him in October titled, "This Turkey Just Will Not Stop Crossing the Road."
But the feathered fiend, named Turkules (rhymes with Hercules), also brought the community together:
Turkules had become a local mascot after taking a tranquilizer dart to the chest - but continuing to strut around defiantly - and showing no fear when walking across busy intersections.
'He is a gangster.

For many American families, Thanksgiving is the time for turkey.
A couple of turkeys may get pardoned at the White House, although Joe Biden's effort to pardon them went a bit awry earlier in the week as he spewed in confusion and then beat it out of there in a rush at the end. But yes, he did manage to pardon Liberty and Bell.
However, most turkeys around this time are landing on the holiday dinner table.
Nice and gorgeous, roasted right out of the oven, with crispy skin, surrounded by all the traditional sides. It's something that's a feature of the holiday,
Two years ago, my colleague Joe Cunningham wrote about the beautiful ad that Chevrolet did for Christmas with a man who is sad at the holidays because his wife has died. The daughter then lovingly has the wife's car -- which is under wraps in the barn, unused for a while -- restored, unbeknownst to the father, to surprise him and bring back those memories of the love of his wife he so misses. “It’s what mom would’ve wanted,” the daughter says.
It was a wonderful ad, at a time during the pandemic when we'd been through so much with lockdowns and a change in society and the White House,
Black Friday shopping has long been a fraught experience with mobs and stampedes willing to do seemingly anything to score a discounted television, but this year a group of pro-Hamas organizations are promising to make things even worse.
The groups, ones that apparently have no issue with the actions of Hamas terrorists on October 7, are calling for anti-Israel goons to "shut it down 4 Palestine" this Friday with a call to "boycott, disrupt, & rally at commercial centers" as Americans look to get some bargains.
Their "reason" for the disruption/shutdown? Well, they say there should be "no business as usual while genocide is taking place,"
You can see it with your own eyes. But Democrats and their left-wing media allies call it a "fantasy." What is it?
Election fraud.
A Lawrence, Massachusetts, voter who had been turned away from the polls on Election Day and told he had already voted found out he was the victim of fraud. He checked the footage on the video camera outside his front door and saw that a woman had removed mail-in ballots from his mailbox. He called the police.
It's happening in many places. On Tuesday, Fight Voter Fraud, Inc., a nonprofit voter rights group, appeared in Connecticut Superior Court

Sen. Mitt Romney said he would vote for a Democrat over former President Trump or businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in a potential 2024 general election matchup. “I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek, but the others that are running would be acceptable to me and I’d be happy to vote for them,” Romney said to CBS news host Norah O’Donnell in a clip which resurfaced online Saturday.
Pope Francis asserted Sunday that global warming is contrary to God’s plan and presents a significant risk to all “life on earth.”
“Besides war, our world is threatened by another great danger, that of the climate, which puts life on Earth, especially for the future generations, at risk,” the pontiff stated in a written text, which was read aloud by his aide Monsignor Paolo Braida following the weekly Angelus prayer.
“And this is contrary to the plan of God, who created everything for life,” he added.
Joe Biden privately apologized and vowed to 'do better' to a group of Muslim Americans for casting 'excessive skepticism' over the number of Palestinian deaths released by the Hamas-run Ministry of Health.
The president, 81, faced five community figureheads who were furious one day after he publicly dismissed a Palestinian death toll on October 25. One person organizing the meeting said the process was a 's**tshow.'
At the press conference at the White House, Biden - who has been steadfast in his support of Israel since October 7 - said: 'I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed.'
In a recent episode of his "Club Random" podcast, leftist comedian Bill Maher had film director Oliver Stone on as a guest. During the discussion, Stone essentially argued that the 2020 election could have been stolen.
Here’s how it came up. At one point in the discussion, they were discussing the COVID vaccines and the pandemic, and Stone argued that Biden was being authoritarian with his vaccine mandates.
“That's one form of it,” Maher replied. "I would say the form that Trump is threatening us with is even worse."
“Which is what?” Stone asked.
"Well, I mean, he doesn’t concede elections, you know, the elections only count if we win theory of government.
Nancy Pelosi’s nepo-baby, Alexandra, was caught on camera admitting essentially that January 6 and the ensuing prosecutions were a marketing gimmick to propagandize the public for the benefit of the Democrat Party. The video, apparently filmed surreptitiously in the style of Project Veritas and released by CitizenLens, reportedly between Pelosi and a January 6 defendant she was courting so as to appear in her documentary of the event, featured Pelosi discussing the political implications of the Jan 6 show trials and their effects on the upcoming 2022 mid-term elections.
After the Democrats lose the House and then they get rid of the committee, people may lose interest.
Based on the current polls, we may very well have an immovable object meets an irresistible force scenario, except here it is two aging, past-their-prime retreads who, in any normal time, would have retired to enjoy the remaining sands of the hourglass but have decided to instead run again for president. Both have fatal flaws. Under the old rules, we knew the election outcome without a doubt. Trump can’t possibly win, and Biden is certain to lose. But someone has to win, and it will not be that RFK weirdo.
This spectacle is not a done deal. Though he’s far ahead today, Trump can still lose the nomination. I
According to a new Washington Post story, the Biden team is at its wit's end.
They don't know what to do to convince the American people that the economy is in good shape. Of course, part of the reason they're failing so badly is because people know how much more they've had to pay for everything, and they see the high interest rates. Young people who would like to buy a home can't even do so in the current economy.
But they're still trying to sell this to us, such as by claiming Thanksgiving was cheaper this year.
Former UFC champion and one of Ireland’s most prominent celebrities, Conor McGregor, finds himself in the eye of a new storm, as he is currently under investigation for comments linked to a series of violent events in Dublin involving immigrant assailants, The Sunday Times reported.
Five people, including children, were stabbed near a school in Dublin, Ireland, on Thursday by a suspect whose identity has not yet been released.
Three children and two adults were taken to a nearby hospital with stab wounds. Their condition is unknown.
There are reports that the perpetrator is an Algerian immigrant. Following the attack, five-time world champion MMA fighter and Irishman Conor McGregor
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon sparked a backlash from state lawmakers when he discussed plans to make the Cowboy State carbon dioxide-neutral during a talk at Harvard last month. “It is clear that we have a warming climate. It is clear that carbon dioxide is a major contributor to that challenge. There is an urgency to addressing this issue,” Gordon said during the “Decarbonizing The West” talk. The governor added that the problem won’t be solved by turning off fossil fuels, and he promoted the use of carbon capture and sequestration.
As the Academy Award-winning director of Schindler’s List and founder of the USC Shoah Foundation, which records the testimonials of Holocaust survivors, the Jewish Steven Spielberg has been surprisingly silent about the barbaric October 7 Hamas pogrom in Israel.
Silent about the 1,200-1,400 Jews who were raped, mutilated, and murdered. Silent about the thousands of Jews who were injured.
Silent about the hundreds of Jews taken hostage.
Not. One. Word.
Many have asked Spielberg to say something…anything…but have been met with (yes) silence. David Schaecter, a 94-year-old Holocaust survivor and the president of Holocaust Survivors’ Foundation USA, wrote an open letter to Steven Spielberg.
Like Longfellow’s little girl, who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead, sometimes ad agencies are very good indeed, and sometimes they’re horrid. When they’re good, it’s worth taking note because, as with all media, those short videos have a disproportionate effect on the American psyche. In the case of Chevy’s holiday ad, that effect can only be good.
When I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, in the pre-streaming age, you watched ads whether or not you wanted to. These years were the heydays of jingles and slogans. Indeed, for us, jingles were a family tradition.
Curing Jews of Leftism

Holocaust-2 that broke out in Israel on October 7 may suddenly have a positive impact on many left-liberal American Jews. The recent tragic events will cause an upheaval in liberal heads and shift their political mindset to the right: the American Jews will wise up, move away from a liberal worldview, and become more conservative. I will try to explain this seemingly unexpected prediction.
From the 8th century B.C. to the middle of the last century, Jews have been persecuted and periodically expelled. Unlike many other peoples, who sometimes were also persecuted by their neighbors, the Jews until 1948 did not have their own country,

Because nothing could possibly go wrong with this!! I drove a speed limited rental through Springfield, MA. It was a terrifying experience. The local speed limit was 60 mph. Flow of traffic was 75-80 mph. My car was limited to 70 mph. I was a hazard on the road, even driving in the slow lane. While traffic flew by me in the other lanes, I had vehicles of all sizes flying up to my bumper and laying on the horn because I was going so slow. I finally resorted to putting on my hazards until traffic slowed down. I'll never drive in a speed limited vehicle again!!
