AG Garland Names Special Counsel to Investigate Trump
|
Daily Wire: Attorney General Merrick Garland named Jack Smith, a former war crimes prosecutor, as special counsel overseeing the Department’s criminal investigation into Trump’s handling of U.S. government records after leaving office and his actions related to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol ( Daily Wire). Axios: Former President Trump told Fox News Digital on Friday that he “won’t partake” in the investigation, calling it “the worst politicization of justice in our country.” “I have been going through this for six years — for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore” ( Axios). National Review: Garland has ignored calls for a special prosecutor for the Bidens. Appointing one for Trump will make it harder to keep resisting ( National Review).

Pro Life Advocates Sue FDA Over Abortion Pills Going Out to Shelves
|
Townhall: Pro life advocates sue the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after it approved a dangerous abortion pill to be put on the market. According to a lawsuit, four national medical associations and four doctors are claiming that the FDA “illegally” approved a drug knowing it can harm women. The Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative group filed a lawsuit in Texas arguing that the FDA did not have the authority to approve the harmful drug: mifepristone. The group alleges that the FDA had to deem pregnancy as an “illness” and the abortion pill as providing a “meaningful therapeutic benefit” in order to get them approved so quickly ( Townhall). Alliance Defending Freedom: For decades, the FDA has not been fulfilling this mission when it comes to its decisions about chemical abortion drugs. In 2000, the FDA approved chemical abortion drugs by running roughshod over the law and science. Since then, the agency has not followed the science, reversed course, or fixed its mistakes. Instead, it has been dismantling the few safeguards that were in place when the drugs were originally approved ( Alliance Defending Freedom).

Democrat Senator Agrees with Trump Saying, Chinese-Owned, TikTok is a Threat
|
Daily Caller: Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia said Sunday that former President Donald Trump correctly labeled TikTok as an “enormous threat.” Trump ordered a review of the Chinese-owned app, which is beholden to the Chinese Community Party (CCP), in July 2020 after the Trump administration declared ZTE and Huawei national-security threats. Employees of TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, are required to attend monthly meetings where they are required to study the party’s policies ( Daily Caller). RNC Research: Virginia Democrat Sen. Mark Warner on TikTok: “I think Donald Trump was right. TikTok is an enormous threat” ( Twitter).

UN Climate Deal Sets Up Fund to Pay for Climate-Related Damage for Developing Countries
|
Wall Street Journal: A deal was struck at United Nations climate talks on Saturday to set up a fund that would pay for climate-related damage in countries deemed particularly vulnerable, officials said, handing a victory to poorer nations that have pushed for the move for years and removing a major sticking point in broader negotiations to address global warming. The fund would earmark money for what is known as loss and damage: When rising seas, more powerful storms and other effects that scientists link to climate change cause destruction that is sudden or potentially irreparable ( Wall Street Journal). Washington Examiner: The EU delegation reached a tentative agreement with some 134 developing countries on the proposal. One obstacle for the EU was the definition of a “developing” country. China is classified as a developing country under a 1992 framework for combating climate change ( Washington Examiner).

The Biden Administration continues to gaslight America, telling them that the crisis at the border is under control and that they have a plan, yet it seems to be just one of his many lies ( Townhall). RNC Research: 230,678 illegal immigrants were encountered at the border last month — a 334% INCREASE from the average number of October encounters under Trump. 5 MILLION illegal immigrants have crossed the border since Biden took office ( Twitter).
