We need to have a serious talk about the WSJ…

There used to be a clear understanding about what the Wall Street Journal was and what it wasn’t. At one time WSJ was trusted and serious. It was a business-minded, economically grounded, and culturally restrained paper. Even readers who disagreed with its editorial stance understood that the WSJ operated in a different lane than lifestyle outlets or activist rags. It went without saying. But now, that clarity is gone. Over the past few years, the Journal’s news division has begun publishing stories that feel completely disconnected from the brand it spent decades building. The tone and the subject matter have totally shifted. And the professional instincts that once separated

Zohran Mamdani will be sworn in by his socialist idol Bernie Sanders during a public ceremony in Lower Manhattan on January 1, his transition team announced Monday.
The Brooklyn native and Vermont senator will return to the Big Apple on Inauguration Day for Mayor-elect Mamdani’s “block party” near City Hall.
State Attorney General Letitia James will officially swear him in as New York City’s 112th mayor in a private event at midnight.
The Department of Justice is closing a Democrat-created bureaucratic loophole that has allowed legal and illegal migrants to get a huge quantity of taxpayer aid since 1997, despite a 1996 law limiting aid to citizens.
The loophole was created by President Bill Clinton’s administration after Congress passed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), which was intended to “strengthen… the principle that [legal and illegal] immigrants come to America to work, not to collect welfare benefits.”
“We now retract that [1997] opinion and offer the best reading of the phrase ‘Federal means-tested public benefit,'” President Donald Trump’s Justice Department said on December 16.
The new rule means that
A post from Customs and Border Protection featuring a snarling, dried primate corpse removed from a traveler’s luggage has sparked renewed scrutiny over illegal bushmeat smuggling into major U.S. airports.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Chicago said agriculture specialists at O’Hare International Airport seized prohibited food items from a passenger arriving from the Congo, including what the agency described as nonhuman primate meat, after a post by the agency’s Chicago office drew more than one million views within 24 hours on X.
“A passenger from Congo believed the food they were bringing was fine; it was not. In the passenger’s suitcase O’Hare Agriculture Specialists found
President Donald Trump’s Department of the Interior (DOI) announced on Monday that it is pausing leases for five large-scale offshore wind projects off the East Coast.
“Due to national security concerns identified by @DeptofWar, @interior is PAUSING leases for 5 expensive, unreliable, heavily subsidized offshore wind farms,” DOI Secretary Doug Burgum posted on X. “ONE natural gas pipeline supplies as much energy as these 5 projects COMBINED.” President Trump “is bringing common sense back to energy policy and putting security first,” Burgum added.
In a separate news release, the DOI stated that the pause was also connected with “national security risks” identified by the Department of War in “recently completed classified reports,”
Prominent anti-Trump lawyer George Conway filed to run for Congress in New York City on Monday.
Conway, who lives in Bethesda, Md., an affluent Washington, D.C. suburb, will vie in a crowded Democratic primary to represent a deep-blue Manhattan district to succeed Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is retiring. The vocal Trump critic is likely to frame his congressional run around his top attorney credentials and willingness to serve as legal pitbull against Trump in Congress. Conway, 62, is a mainstay in left-wing media and frequently rails against Trump
Lawrence, Massachusetts, Mayor Brian DePena appeared in court on Friday, where he required a translator to participate in proceedings at a Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission proceeding on Friday.
The hearing concerned former Lawrence Police Chief William Castro, a political ally of DePena, who was stripped of his policing credentials following an improper police chase. Castro was accused of driving the wrong way down a city street during the chase and filing a false police report, claiming he was responding to an armed bank robbery when he had actually been responding to someone attempting to cash a bad check.
A man who recently quit his job at the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) says that translator services are helping illegal aliens cheat to get state driver’s licenses despite a lack of English proficiency or understanding the rules of the road, and without even taking a road test.
John Morin, who worked for the BMV as a license examiner for more than a decade, said that he watched as translating services helped migrants cheat on driver’s exams by directly providing the migrants with the answers to the tests, not just offering to help them understand the questions during their exam,

Following the fatal shooting of one National Guard member and the injury of another in Washington, DC, the George W. Bush Institute is urging against broadly targeting Afghan immigration applicants in response to the actions of a single individual.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who previously worked with a CIA-backed partner force in Kandahar and entered the U.S. in 2021 through the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome, has been arraigned and is facing charges in the Thanksgiving-week ambush-style shooting that left 20-year-old Spc. Sarah Beckstrom dead and critically injured 24-year-old Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe.
Following the attack, U.S. immigration authorities announced an immediate and indefinite pause on immigration processing
President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has struck most-favored-nation (MFN) deals with nine more major drug companies to radically lower prescription drug costs, bringing the total to 14 agreements since late September.
Trump announced agreements with Amgen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Boehringer Ingelheim, Genentech, Gilead Sciences, GSK, Merck, Novartis, and Sanofi during a press conference in the Roosevelt Room. The deals follow those he has already reached with Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca, and EMD Serono, the first of which came with Pfizer several months ago. “This represents the greatest victory for patient affordability in the history of American health care, by far, and every single American will benefit,”
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.”

Hyundai and Kia will overhaul security features in millions of vehicles as part of a sweeping multistate settlement accusing the companies of failing to install industry-standard anti-theft technology in many of their models. Under the agreement, the automakers must provide free zinc-reinforced ignition cylinder protectors to current eligible owners, add engine immobilizers to all future U.S. vehicles and pay up to $9 million in restitution to consumers and participating states, Attorney General Matthew Platkin announced Tuesday. Nearly 4 million Hyundai vehicles and 3.1 million Kia vehicles in the U.S. will be eligible for the upgrade, and installation costs could exceed $500 million,

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has agreed to hold elections if there is a ceasefire. However, eastern Ukraine citizens, those currently living in the Donbas region, who are supportive of Russia, will not be permitted to vote.This creates a rather bizarre official hypocrisy within the Zelenskyy regime. The official position of Zelenskyy is that Eastern Ukraine will never be accepted as a part of the Russian federation.
Zelenskyy has recently noted, with EU leadership support, that his government will never recognize Eastern Ukraine as part of the Russian federation. However, this same region, approximately 20% of Ukraine, will not be permitted to participate in his controlled election.

And the (electrical vehicle) hits just keep on coming.
Just a day after car manufacturing giant Ford Motors announced that it was eating a sizable $19.5 billion bullet for putting too many of its eggs into the EV basket, a WIVB-TV report is pouring even more cold water on the left’s EV craze.
As New York shifts to meet a new statewide mandate requiring all purchased school buses to be electric, parents have already identified a significant issue — especially in the rather chilly Empire State.
According to WIVB, parents “in the Lake Shore Central School District are speaking out, claiming some bus drivers are turning the heat down, or off completely,

Bondi Terror Attack 22 replies
The Australian state of New South Wales is proposing to ban public displays of Islamic State group flags or extremist symbols after a mass shooting driven by antisemitism killed 15 people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Under draft laws to be debated by the state Parliament, publicly displaying the IS flag or symbols from other extremist groups will be offenses punishable by up to two years in prison and fines. The state’s premier, Chris Minns, also said chants of “globalize the intifada” will be banned and police would be given greater powers to demand protesters remove face coverings at demonstrations.

CBS pulled a “60 Minutes” segment on Venezuelan migrants who were sent to El Salvador’s notorious maximum-security prison, CECOT, just hours before its scheduled Sunday broadcast time.
“The broadcast lineup for tonight’s edition of 60 Minutes has been updated,” the program posted in an Editor’s Note on social media three hours before it was set to air.
“Our report ‘Inside CECOT’ will air in a future broadcast,” the post said. The episode, which was scheduled to air at 7:30 ET on Sunday, was set to show correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi interviewing recently released deportees who experienced “brutal and torturous” conditions at the hellhole prison,

Epstein files vanished from Justice Department website 18 replies
More than a dozen files tied to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein mysteriously vanished from the Justice Department’s website just one day after the agency released the massive, long-awaited trove of documents and photos to the public, according to reports.
At least 16 files — among thousands available Friday — were taken down with no explanation from the government, leading to criticism from Democrats on Capitol Hill.
The missing docs included images of nude female paintings — and according to the Dems, a picture of a desk that had numerous framed photos on it and some photos piled in an open drawer.
The Reiner Murders: a common humanity view
17 replies
The murder of Hollywood Director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Reiner by Reiner’s 32-year-old adult son Nick has become another front in the ongoing political war. Nick is a long-time drug addict, in and out of rehab many times, and often homeless on the streets of multiple states. He reportedly trashed his parent’s home at least once in the past, and some reports suggest he was diagnosed with schizophrenia not long before the alleged murders, apparently committed with a knife or other sharp object.
Rob Reiner was perhaps best known for his writing and directing, particularly the classic rock “mockumentary” This is Spinal Tap. He’ll certainly

A retired FBI agent who assembled major crime cases for years says Attorney General Pam Bondi has a “slam dunk” conspiracy case to prosecute former federal agents and prosecutors for election meddling for relentlessly pursuing Donald Trump for political purposes while protecting prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton in the face of damning evidence. Jonathan Gilliam, a retired FBI agent and Navy SEAL, told the Just the News, No Noise television show that Trump should name a “Justice Czar” to coordinate both prosecutions and policy fixes after documents turned over to Congress by Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel…
The New York Times acknowledged in a recent report that there has never been any evidence connecting President Donald Trump to the criminal activities of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, despite years of public speculation and repeated claims pushed by Democratic officials.The article, written by Times reporters Nicholas Confessore and Julie Tate, was based on interviews with “more than 30 former employees of Jeffrey Epstein, victims of his abuse and others who crossed paths with Mr. Epstein and President Trump.”
Lawrence, Massachusetts, Mayor Brian DePena appeared in court on Friday, where he required a translator to participate in proceedings at a Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission proceeding on Friday.
The hearing concerned former Lawrence Police Chief William Castro, a political ally of DePena, who was stripped of his policing credentials following an improper police chase. Castro was accused of driving the wrong way down a city street during the chase and filing a false police report, claiming he was responding to an armed bank robbery when he had actually been responding to someone attempting to cash a bad check.
San Francisco plunged into darkness when nearly 30 percent of the city was struck by a power outage, which brought vital transportation, such as self-driving cars, to a grinding halt on Saturday night.

Vice President JD Vance had two choice words for racist troll Nick Fuentes and others like MS NOW host Jen Psaki, who have made revolting comments about the second lady: “Eat s–t.”
“Let me be clear. Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s–t,” Vance told UnHerd in an interview published Sunday.
“That’s my official policy as vice president of the United States.”
