The Latest


U.S. Ambassador Hosted Convicted Traitor at Embassy



Imagine you’re an American ambassador, representing the United States in a
foreign nation on taxpayers’ dime. You probably wouldn’t host someone who
betrayed our country at your embassy, right?

Not if you’re Mike Huckabee. News broke on Thursday that the Trump
administration’s Israel ambassador welcomed convicted traitor Jonathan Pollard
for a friendly meeting at the Jerusalem embassy in July. The pair chummed it up
despite Pollard selling classified U.S. secrets to the Israeli government
during his time as an American intelligence analyst.

Pollard, born in Texas but a self-described Israel Firster, served nearly 30
years in prison before getting out in 2015. Five years later, he did what
everyone who cares more about a foreign country than the United States should
do:moved there.

What if this story involved a different “ally”? Say, if America’s Vietnam
ambassador rolled out the red carpet for a CIA officer convicted of spying for
the Vietnamese. That would be weird, right? It would certainly warrant their
removal from office. But because it’s Israel, no one cares. Why? How come they
always get special privileges?Read more

Coast Guard Reverses Policy Calling Swastikas “Potentially Divisive Symbols”


The U.S. Coast Guard changed its plan to classify the swastika as a
“potentially divisive symbol” on Thursday, releasinga memorandum
<[link removed]>
describing the Nazi-era insignia as a “divisive or hate symbol” rather than
“potentially divisive.”

The update comes after a Washington Post report on the military branch’s
harassing behavior prevention, response, and accountability guidelines
<[link removed]>,
which were supposed to take effect on December 15th. The document lists nooses,
swastikas, and any “flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups as
representations of supremacy, racial or religious intolerance, or other bias”
as “potentially divisive.”

What did that mean on a tangible level? According to the guidelines, the
reporting of a “potentially divisive” symbolshould have prompted a supervisor
inquiry andmay have permitted an order of its removal. Service members would
have had 45 days to report such imagery, whereasthe old policy
<[link removed]>
did not list a deadline.

Previous rules allowed Coast Guard commanders to mandate the removal of
nooses, swastikas, or other symbols even if their display did not classify as a
“hate incident.”Read more

State Department to Include “Hate Speech” Laws in Human Rights Reports



The State Department releases reports on foreign countries’ human rights
practices each year.2024’s China findings
<[link removed]>
, for example, labeled its communist regime guilty of starvation, torture,
forced abortions, rape, murder, and genocide.

The Trump administration reportedly plans to add updates on nations’ “hate
speech” laws, correctly painting the draconian regulations as infringements on
freedom of speech. Officials will also keep tabs on foreign governments’
facilitation of mass or illegal immigration, subsidization of abortions, and
attempts to coerce people into euthanasia.

Anyone who cares about civil liberties should strongly oppose “hate speech”
laws. The phrase “hate speech” has no inherent definition, meaning it really
just means speech that the people in charge hate. Authoritarian liberals often
say, “There’s free speech, then there’s hate speech.” They are incorrect. “Hate
speech”is free speech, and any government that fails to protect it is an agent
of tyranny.

This doesn’t mean we’re pro-hate. We’re not. But just because something is
wrong doesn’t mean it should be illegal. Nasty language is the perfect example.

REPORT: Trump’s Ukraine Plan Includes NATO-Style Security Guarantee


New details of the Trump administration’s 28-point plan to end the Ukraine War
emerged on Thursday, showing that the president aims to secure concessions from
both sides to ensure a long-term peace.

The plan, which Kyiv and Moscow have not publicly accepted, reportedly
includes the U.S. recognizing the entire Donbas region as Russian, Ukraine
holding an election within 100 days, Russia returning to the G7, the creation
of a Trump-chaired “Peace Council,” and a NATO-style security guarantee for
Ukraine.

The deal’s details will face scrutiny from all sides in the weeks to come. Is
committing American troops to die in the name of Ukrainian territorial
integrity an America First policy? Not exactly. Is it good to demand that
Ukraine practice democracy by letting its people choose their leader? Of
course. But those conversations will take place another day.

For now, Trump deserves praise for doing what Joe Biden never would:
earnestly trying to stop the bloodshed. This White House having the moral
clarity to understand that pushing forever wars is bad foreveryone makes our
country and the world a better place.Read more

Transportation Department Unveils First-Ever Female Crash Dummy



We live in a far more equal world than we did at this time yesterday. Female
crash test dummies are officially here.

The Transportation Department rolled out the design for a “first-of-its-kind”
advanced female crash test dummy on Thursday, intended to more accurately
reflect the biological differences between men and women with new arm,
abdominal, and pelvis sensors, as well as a more accurate capacity to simulate
crash impacts on the face, neck, and spine.

“The Left doesn’t want to hear it, but the science is clear: there are only
two sexes – male and female,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said ina
statement
<[link removed]>
. “That biological fact isn’t just a talking point – it’s an important safety
consideration when designing cars,” he added.

Safety experts have been pushing for the use of female crash dummies for
years, and regulators have talked about developing a female THOR model since at
least the 1980s.Research shows
<[link removed]>
that women are 73% more likely to suffer car-crash injuries than men.Read more

Rapper Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison over Illegal Obama Donations


A Washington, DC, court sentenced Grammy-winning rapper Prakazrel Michel to 14
years in prison on Thursday, punishing him for illegally funneling millions of
dollars in foreign contributions to Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign.

Michel obtained over $120 million from China-based Malaysian billionaire Jho
Low as the former president ran for reelection, and steered some of the money
to his campaign through straw donors. Prosecutors say he also tried to end a
Justice Department investigation of Low, tampered with two witnesses, and
perjured himself at trial.

Michel’s defense attorney recommended a three-year sentence. The DOJ sought a
life term. Michel's charges include conspiracy and acting as an unregistered
agent of a foreign government. His trial featured testimony from Leonardo
DiCaprio and Jeff Sessions.Read more

Eric Swalwell Seeking California Governor’s Mansion


It’s a great day for the Chinese.

Congressman Eric Swalwell announced his candidacy for California governor on
Thursday, declaring his bid to succeed Gavin Newsom during an appearance on
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

As a prominent member of the party with no substantive platform other than
not being Donald Trump, the Democrat lawmaker naturally promised that
“[keeping] Trump out of our homes, streets and lives," would be his number-one
priority. More important than lowering prices, stopping crime, improving the
state’s wildfire readiness, and eliminating homelessness.Orange Man Bad above
all.

Swalwell famously had a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy named Fang
Fang between 2011 and 2015. It is unclear whether Ms. Fang will have a role in
his campaign.Read more

Company Yanks Talking Teddy Bear for Giving Sex Advice


An AI-powered talking teddy bear might sound nice, but in reality, they can
get freaky. And fast.

Singapore-based company FoloToy has removed its talking teddies from sale
after a group of researchers found them bizarrely willing to discuss sexually
explicit material. Examples include spanking, roleplay, bondage, physical pain
and humiliation, and other erotic practices. The $99 bear also offered
worrisome advice, like where to find sharp knives in a house.

The researchers expressed shock over the product’s eagerness to “take a
single sexual topic… and run with it, simultaneously escalating in graphic
detail while introducing new sexual concepts of its own.” It allegedly jumped
at the chance to explain different sex positions and offer step-by-step
instructions.

FoloToy is conducting an internal safety audit in response. Read more

I Didn’t Kill My Wife, I Just Hid Her Body, Businessman Claims


Massachusetts man Brian Walshe knows he’s done wrong. But murder? He won’t go
that far.

The former consulting executive pleaded guilty to hiding his wife’s
dismembered body and misleading police on Tuesday, but he insists he had
nothing to do with her killing itself. Prosecutors say Walshe hid his spouse’s
body parts, which were later incinerated, in bins before discarding them. No
one has ever found her remains.

Investigators say surveillance video shows a man resembling Walshe throwing
heavy bin bags into a dumpster shortly after his wife’s disappearance. He also
allegedly made searches on his son’s iPad for “dismemberment and best ways to
dispose of a body,” “how long before a body starts to smell”, and “hacksaw best
tool to dismember,” and took out a life insurance policy in Mrs. Walshe’s name.

But he had nothing to do with her death. For sure. Read more

Commentary


Black Lives Matter Would Be Proud



The American people were shocked.

2020’s Black Lives Matter riots rattled the cores of millions of good-faith
citizens who didn’t want their cities burned to a crisp. Images of riots,
looting, explosions, and shootings gripped the nation, prompting thousands to
speak out against the anarchy. You know what happened next.

Racist!

That’s how the BLM Left described anyone opposed to the madness they
unleashed throughout the country. As destructive as their “mostly peaceful
protests” were, their smear campaigns proved equally vicious.

You don’t think it’s okay for masked thugs to light Minneapolis convenience
stores on fire, Mr. and Mrs. America?Racist! Oppose smashing the windows of
family-owned businesses?Bigot! White supremacist! Reject the idea that causing
over $1 billion of property damage
<[link removed]> isn’t the best
way to advance social justice?Okay. We get it. You hate black people. Pack your
bags, take a trip to re-education camp, and read every Ta-Nehisi Coates book
Amazon has to offer. Then maybe decent society will accept you back. Maybe.

None of this made sense to any clear-minded person. How was preferring your
country not resemble 1945 Manila an attack on blacks?

The answer is clear. It wasn’t. The anarchists simply portrayed their
detractors as racists to make them shut up. They knew they couldn’t defend
their behavior on merit, so they sought to control the narrative through
intimidation, cancellation, and ruthless ad hominem attacks.

Doesn’t that sound familiar?

Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Ted Cruz, and their band of Israel First shills are
doing theexact same thing today.

We proudly oppose America’s “special alliance” with Israel, the IDF’s
slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent people, Benjamin Netanyahu trying to
drag the U.S. into a war with Iran, and Israeli leaders’ venomous belief that
people deserve judgment for their genetics. Each of those is either
anti-Christian, anti-America, or both, and we’re happy to explain why at any
time. We have on many occasions.

Ghouls like Levin and Randy Fine, however, have no interest in hearing our
views. Instead, they channel their inner BLM and attack us as Nazis and Hitler
followers for daring to oppose their sickening agenda. Just like the forces
behind the 2020 riots, these Israel Firsters know they can’t defend the
indefensible. So they hiss at their opponents out of pathetic desperation. It’s
sad to watch.

Our friend Megyn Kelly, who is literally a self-described Zionist, made this
point on her show this week, correctly diagnosing that the Right’s pro-Israel
faction is turning into BLM.

How did they respond? You guessed it. They called her an antisemite

This Day in History


November 21, 1976: “Rocky” premieres. The Philadelphia-based boxing thriller
debuted in New York City and instantly became a box-office hit, receiving 10
Academy Award nominations and winning three Oscars. Produced on a shoestring
budget, the movie tells the story of Rocky Balboa, a small-time fighter who
receives an opportunity to compete for the world heavyweight championship. The
lead actor, Sylvester Stallone, was similarly down on his luck before the
film’s success, going so far as to sell his dog for $40 because he couldn’t
afford to feed him. Rocky catapulted him from a complete unknown to one of
Hollywood’s biggest stars. He repurchased the dog after selling the film’s
script.
