The Latest


Democrats Crush Trump-Backed Spending Bill


Congress rejected a Trump and Elon Musk-backed spending bill on Thursday,
dragging the government closer to its first shutdown since 2019.


The proposal was far less bloated than the package Joe Biden supports,
consisting of 116 pages rather than 1,547. Unlike the first proposal, the
116-page version did not include a raise for politicians.


The government will shut down if lawmakers fail to reach an agreement by
tonight. Read more.

VANCE: Dems Want “Global Censorship Bulls**t”


JD Vance accosted Democrats for voting against the MAGA coalition’s spending
bill on Thursday, accusing them of wanting to shut down the government to
reduce Donald Trump’s negotiating leverage during the beginning of his term.


“The Democrats just voted to shut down the government, even though we had a
clean [continuing resolution], because they didn’t want to give the president
negotiating leverage during [the first year of his new term]. And number two,
because they would rather shut down the government and fight for global
censorship bulls**t. They’ve asked for a shutdown, and I think that’s exactly
what they’re going to get.”


Opposing liberal lawmakers behaved like a mob of school bus-riding elementary
school students upon receiving the proposal, reportedly chanting “hell no, hell
no” instead of doing their jobs. These people make six figures. Read more.

Is Mike Johnson on His Way Out?


Donald Trump fell far short of endorsing Mike Johnson to remain House speaker
on Thursday, expressing justified frustration over the Louisiana congressman
pushing his enormously inefficient spending bill as his way to prevent a
government shutdown.


“We’ll see,” the president-elect reportedly said when asked if he maintains
confidence in Johnson. “What they had yesterday was unacceptable. In many ways
it was unacceptable. It’s a Democrat trap."


The American people elected Trump to stop this exact kind of wasteful,
pork-barrel legislation. They seek a future in which the government stops
excessively wasting taxpayer dollars on expenses that do not improve the
American people’s lives. Raises for politicians are prime examples.


Johnson has had a choppy and inconsistent time as speaker of the House. He
entered the role as a purported America First proponent but immediately morphed
into a Ukraine war hawk. Many suspect the Deep State is blackmailing him. Read

Court Disqualifies Fani Willis from Trump Case


A state appeals court ruled that Fani Willis has “no authority to proceed”
with the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump on Thursday,
citing an “appearance of impropriety” that threatened the integrity of the
proceedings.


“This is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other
remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these
proceedings,” the court ruled. Willis’ office quickly asked the state’s supreme
court to review the decision.


The ruling is Trump’s latest victory against Democrat attempts to turn him
into American history’s most high-profile political prisoner. In the past two
months, both Willis and Jack Smith have seen their cases against the
president-elect turned on their heads. Although this decision does not end the
Georgia case, it puts its future entirely up in the air.


Trump reportedly reacted to the news by saying the "whole case has been a
disgrace to justice… Everybody should receive an apology, including those
wonderful patriots who have been caught up in this for years." Read more.

Pentagon Admits to Fudging Troop Deployment Numbers


The Pentagon revealed on Thursday that it is currently deploying roughly 2,000
American troops in Syria, blowing its previously-stated estimate of 900 out of
the water.


"We have been briefing you regularly that there are approximately 900 U.S.
troops deployed to Syria," a spokesperson told reporters. "In light of the
situation in Syria, and in significant interest, we’ve recently learned that
those numbers were higher."


Syria is in a state of severe turmoil, facing leadership uncertainty as it
enters its post-Assad era. As Donald Trump recently said, the United States
should stay away from the conflict. It is not our fight. Joe Biden should bring
American troops stationed in the turbulent nation home for Christmas. Read more.

Harris Set to Score Enormous Book Deal


Publishers are reportedly offering failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris
up to $20 million for the exclusive rights to her future book.


According to a Harris insider, "Virtually the moment Kamala lost to Trump, the
offers began pouring in from the publishing world for her to do the definitive
book” on all of the Democrats’ 2024 election gossip: the dynamic between Harris
and Joe Biden, what went wrong in her campaign, and more. Streaming giant
Netflix is also reportedly interested in working with Harris once she exits the
vice presidency.


$20 million would be quite the win for Harris. Most people are not rewarded
with a seven-figure payday after miserably failing at their stated goal. If
Harris is worth $20 million after losing every single swing state, one can only
imagine how much publishers would have gifted her if the election had been
remotely competitive. Read more.

Democrat Fundraiser Mocks Harris’s 2028 Ambitions


DNC fundraiser Lindy Li scorned her party’s visions of a Kamala Harris
comeback on Thursday, arguing that the vice president’s dreadful 2024
performance should rule out the possibility of her reclaiming the Democratic
nomination in 2028.


"This is not what America wants. November 5th was a decisive defeat for the
Democratic Party. She lost every single swing state. It wasn't a squeaker like
it was in 2016. This was a resounding defeat…,” Li said during a televised
interview. “We do not want Kamala Harris. We don't want failed border policies,
and I feel like I'm liberated and I can finally tell the truth…”


The truth is that Harris was never actually a good candidate. Her 2020
campaign failed to survive until the first caucus, her vice presidency will go
down as one of the worst in history, and Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi
reportedly dreaded the idea of their party handing Harris its 2024 nomination
with no competition. Once it did give her the reins, she dodged interviews,
cackled through speeches, and refused to adequately articulate her policy
views. The American people deserved better.


Li also called her party “a cult,” which it is. Read more.

MSNBC Gives Anchors a Choice: Take Pay Cuts or Lose Your Shows


Desperate times have fallen upon MSNBC.


According to reports, network executives recently told election-trauma-ridden
hosts Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle that they must accept pay cuts in order to
keep their nighttime shows. Reid and Ruhle each reportedly earn seven figures
for their gigs.


Sources say Morning Joe co-host Jonathan Lemire is also facing a salary
reduction, and the network’s biggest star, Rachel Maddow, received a $5 million
trim earlier this year. Ironically, Maddow is probably the only reason the
channel remains afloat.


According to Ruhle, Donald Trump told her to “go f**k [herself]” when she
asked him for an interview in October. Based on the ratings, America’s news
consumers appear to agree with the president-elect’s sentiment. Read more.

Mangione Could Face Death Penalty


Authorities unsealed new, federal charges against Luigi Mangione on Thursday,
elevating the case against the alleged CEO murderer and making him eligible for
the death penalty.


In addition to his state-level indictment, Mangione now faces charges of
murder with a firearm, stalking, and illegal gun possession. Federal
prosecutors reportedly pursued their own case to ensure the 26-year-old Ivy
League graduate’s eligibility for execution.


Capital punishment is a legal penalty in 27 American states but can be
applied throughout the country at the federal level. The practice remains more
common than most people likely realize. An Indiana man convicted of quadruple
murder died by lethal injection earlier this week. Read more.

Commentary


If guilty, Luigi Mangione deserves to spend the rest of his days in prison.
Anyone who purposely takes a human life should never walk free again.
Independent of the need for justice, such a man poses too much of a public
safety threat to ever return to America’s streets.


The accused CEO killer is not a heroic figure. He is a villain. That will
remain true no matter how many Nintendo-costume-donning protestors rally in his
defense. As we wrote last week, “He is smug, lazy, and ultimately, a groveling
coward.” With that being said, the government’s apparent aim to have him
sentenced to death is a disturbing and destructive objective.


In addition to being nonsensical and hypocritical, the idea that we must kill
killers to prove that killing is wrong is emblematic of modern American
leadership’s tragic disregard for the sanctity of human life. We see this in
foreign, immigration, and domestic policy.


Permanent Washington has spent the past three years fervently funding the war
in Eastern Europe, cheering on the slaughter of an entire generation of
Ukrainian men. Fentanyl overdoses kill tens of thousands of Americans each
year, but the government actively works to make it easier for people to smuggle
those deadly drugs across the Southern border. And since the turn of the
century, the left has transformed its abortion rhetoric from describing the
deadly procedure as “safe and rare” to telling women to “shout your abortion.”


It’s not clear what’s behind this shift, but it’s remodeling America away from
its religious roots and instead in the image of a frightening death cult. We
must reverse course.


Abolishing capital punishment would be a logical first step. No matter what
heinous acts a person may commit, they are still human. And judging them is up
to God, not their fellow man.

This Day in History


December 20, 1699: Russian Tsar Peter the Great changes the Russian New Year
from September 1st to January 1st. The reform was designed to align Russia with
“many European Christian nations” by switching the country to a calendar system
based on the birth of Christ. If not for this change, Russia would currently
view itself as being in the year 7,532.
