Hamadeh's Bill Seeks To Expose Dual Citizenship
In U.S. Census
Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 12/19/2025 10:21:47 AM
Arizona Republican Rep. Abe Hamadeh has introduced legislation that would add a question about dual citizenship to the decennial U.S. Census. The bill, Make Allegiances Clear Again Act (MACA Act), aims to shed light on what Hamadeh describes as a hidden national security risk: divided loyalties among U.S. citizens who also hold citizenship in foreign countries. (snip) The Arizona congressman, who began his term in January 2025, argues that the census currently lumps together "illegal aliens, guest workers, dual nationals and loyal American citizens into the same generic population buckets." This, he contends, distorts representation and funding decisions.

Officials in Joe Biden's Department of Justice and FBI considered a criminal investigation into then-Sen. Krysten Sinema (I-Ariz.) for purported campaign finance law violations after she left the Democratic Party, according to emails reviewed by The Post. (snip) Sinema's chief of staff, Daniel Winkler, expressed concern when reached for comment that the probe was pursued for "partisan political reasons," including punishing the former senator for refusing to support scrapping the 60-vote legislative filibuster. The email exchanges began in response to the Post's Feb. 1, 2024 report on Sinema's six-figure campaign spending on a security detail, luxury hotels, cars, and concert tickets (snip.)
The U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security has released an updated report highlighting terrorism threats to Americans (snip) after holding a hearing on Tuesday during which the Director of the National Anti-Terrorism Center Joe Kent testified that the NCTC had identified at least 18,000 known or suspected terrorists who were released into the U.S. during the Biden administration (snip.) The NCTC has also added roughly 35,000 narco-terrorists to the federal Terrorist Screening Database since he's been in office.
Several of the largest U.S. and European-based drugmakers inked deals with President Donald Trump on Friday to voluntarily sell their medications for less, as his administration pushes to link the nation's drug prices to cheaper ones abroad. (snip) Among the most notable pledges is that Bristol Myers Squibb will offer Eliquis, its blockbuster blood-thinner and top-prescribed product, for free to Medicaid. The companies make up a majority of the 17 drugmakers Trump sent letters to in July, calling on them to lower prices as part of his "most favored nation" policy.
The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for access to the state's voter rolls.

Play With Rate Cuts, Tariffs And Cooling Inflation 3 replies
Contrary to conventional economic wisdom and warnings from critics on the left and many economists that cutting interest rates while imposing broad tariffs would inevitably stoke inflation, the Trump administration is achieving all three simultaneously -- with the Federal Reserve lowering rates, significant tariffs in place and inflation cooling to 2.7% as of late 2025. (snip) The Consumer Price Index report for November 2025, released this morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed headline inflation cooling to 2.7% (snip.) Core inflation, excluding volatile food and energy prices, came in even lower at 2.6% -- the slowest pace since early 2021 (snip.)

The Black Box Warning That Wasn't
4 replies
For much of the past week it appeared that something rare -- and overdue -- might finally happen at the Food and Drug Administration. Reports circulated that the agency was preparing to place a black-box warning on Covid-19 vaccines , the strongest safety warning FDA can issue. (snip) Then it didn't happen. What followed was not a denial that harms existed. That much is now conceded. Instead FDA Commissioner Marty Makary publicly acknowledged that an internal safety committee had recommended a boxed warning -- and that the agency had declined to act on it.
The European Union continues to hammer away at American companies under the guise of "Digital Regulation." The Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) have become tools of economic and political aggression, masquerading as consumer protection. All of this, of course, under the European guise of "protecting democracy." (snip) What the EU is doing is nothing less than an extraterritorial power play meant to export European censorship norms into America.
Federal prosecutors announced new indictments Thursday in the widening Minnesota fraud scandal, this time involving two Philadelphia-based men accused of traveling to Minneapolis after a friend told them the taxpayer funded programs there "presented a good opportunity to make money." (snip) Unlike many of the individuals caught up in the state's sprawling fraud scandal, they don't appear to have ties to Minnesota's large Somali community. Prosecutors say they don't have ties to Minnesota at all. "Minnesota has become a magnet for fraud -- so much that we have developed a fraud tourism industry" (snip.)
The Most Explosive Book Of 2026
2 replies
Yes, they waged war on us. That's the simplest way to summarize what the government, technocratic elite, security state, and media did to the American people in 2016. It's also the premise behind what is sure to be the most important and explosive book of 2026. That book, The Information State: Politics in the Age Of Total Control by Jacob Siegel, explores the ways the crazed reactions of these parts of society to the arrival of Donald Trump drove them to label him "a threat to American democracy" and take actions that, ironically, turned them into the very threat they warned us against.
Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett co-rented a car in 2006 with a previously convicted robber whose car crash caused her to be sued for damages at the start of her legal career (snip.) Crockett and Texas resident Sowetto Hoilett rented the vehicle after Hoilett was convicted of two robberies and possession of a controlled substance (snip.) Hoilett's car wreck then prompted Crockett to defend herself in court, marking one of her earliest cases as a licensed attorney. Budget Rent A Car sued Crockett (snip) citing her rental agreement which she claimed was invalid. Crockett settled with the company for roughly $10,400 the following year.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Just the News on Wednesday that federal and local officials involved in the prosecutions of President Donald Trump may face legal action if the Department of Justice identifies a conspiracy to deprive him or his followers of his civil rights. (snip) "The Civil Rights Division nd the DOJ generally do have the tool of a criminal conspiracy statute for conspiracy against rights, and this dates back to the start of the Ku Klux Klan, and when the Klan and its predecessors used to go after people, and they could involve, sometimes, local law enforcement to do that," she said.

The unspeakable tragedy that has been visited upon the family of Rob Reiner has likely left all parents in shock.
Given what has been available to read about Nick Reiner these past several days, since the murder of his parents, it has shed a little light on what that family has endured since their son Nick was eight years old, maybe even before that.
He was apparently a difficult child long before he became a drug user.
His parents tried to help him way back then after he disrupted their yoga sessions.
They hired their trainer to work specifically with Nick, thinking yoga would help him

A murder spree from hell

The man suspected of carrying out two murderous attacks — one at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine more, and another that killed the MIT professor in his Brookline home — was found dead in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire last night. The murderer apparently took the coward’s way out.
Listening to the Providence press conference last night — it was followed by one featuring United States Attorney Leah Foley speaking about the murder of MIT Professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro — we learned that a witness who had confronted the murderer on the Brown campus provided the key to the breaking of the case
GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik unexpectedly dropped her bid to become New York’s next governor Friday.
“While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Governor and will not seek re-election to Congress. I did not come to this decision lightly for our family,” she posted on X.
“While we would have overwhelmingly won this primary, it is not an effective use of our time or your generous resources to spend the first half of next year in an unnecessary and protracted Republican primary, especially in a challenging state like New York.”
Half of $18 billion in federal welfare funds, which supports 14 Minnesota-run programs since 2018, has been lost to fraud, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said during a press conference Thursday.
People come from all over the world to steal millions from U.S. government Medicaid, housing, and other programs, he added. “Minnesota has become a magnet for fraud, so much so that we have developed a fraud tourism industry — people coming to our state purely to exploit and defraud its programs,” Thompson said. “This is a deeply unsettling reality that all Minnesotans should understand.”
Democrats are sinking like a stone, and the new Quinnipiac poll makes it official: their congressional approval rating has hit a historic low of just 18%, with a brutal 73% disapproving. That's the worst number Quinnipiac has recorded since they started asking the question back in 2009. Even CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, couldn't hide his shock, declaring that "Democrats, in the minds of the American public, are lower than the Dead Sea."
The real kicker? Democrats are turning on their own party. Only 42% of Democratic voters approve of how their representatives in Congress are performing, while 48% disapprove.
Writing this in December as I am you might be tempted to think I’m something of a money-grubbing Scrooge, but let me assure you in this first sentence I’m nothing of the sort. In fact, when it comes to tipping good service, I’m renowned for being generous, and was going twenty percent years before it was standard.
My formula for a tip is this. When I enter an establishment, the wait staff is at twenty percent, perhaps even a little more. The tip is built into my tipping psyche. At that point, it’s up to the wait staff to begin working their way down.
Kamala's Idea of "normal" is abnormal
15 replies
Kamala Harris appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s alleged comedy show and waxed moronic about how “abnormal” Trump and his administration and followers are. She sneered, curled her lips around her disdain, and told the hyper fancritters in the live audience that “Nothing about this is normal and should not be normalized.” (Pick it up at 04:33.)
“Wrong, corrupt, and cowardly” were some words she used to describe the Trump administration and its leader, Donald J. Trump.

Over Epstein Files Release, Offers Pathetic Defense 14 replies
And now, readers, we return to the story that won’t go away, the Jeffrey Epstein saga. The deceased pedophile continues to dominate headlines over six years after his death, mostly because there are rumors that high-profile individuals were involved with his exploits, and if their enemies can prove it, they can be ruined.
There are also countless victims who have never received justice.
Already this Friday afternoon/evening, news broke that today was the deadline Congress had established for the DOJ to release the files, and the department was doing just that. As our Ward Clark reported, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that the investigation had
Investigators have revealed that the gunman responsible for killing two students at Brown University also killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor two days later.
The motives of 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente for both attacks remains unclear, but federal prosecutors on Thursday disclosed an interesting detail about the relationship of the killer to one of his victims.
Nuno F.G. Loureiro, the 47-year-old MIT professor, was fatally shot at his home in the Boston suburb of Brookline by his former classmate.
A Georgia State Election Board investigation substantiated that Fulton County violated election rules in 2020 by failing to have poll workers sign required tabulation tapes for early votes in 36 out of 37 advanced voting precincts, affecting approximately 315,000 ballots. These unsigned tapes broke the chain-of-custody and certification requirements under Georgia law, which mandates signed tapes as the sole legal proof of authentic vote totals.
During a board meeting on December 9th, Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, contends that Fulton County does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.”
Oof.

The grand plans of the EU Leadership failed to generate their desired result. Initially, Ursula von der Leyen, Frederich Merz, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer intended to permanently confiscate the Russian sovereign wealth fund and use it to fund their interests in Ukraine. However, the EU coalition didn’t agree.
Comments:
This is the second major bill in the current Congress addressing dual citizenship (another bill introduced by Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) would abolish dual citizenship entirely.) This strikes me as a good bill promoted with a faulty argument. On the one hand, it is shocking that the census doesn't collect this information already. On the other, congressmen get reelected for rewarding districts, not punishing them.
