REPORT: FBI Director Christopher Wray preparing to resign. Mr. Wray is calling it quits because he doesn’t want to get fired by President-elect Donald Trump, according to sources inside the bureau who are familiar with the director’s thinking. “He’s going to be gone at the inauguration. On or before the inauguration,” a source said. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/9/christopher-wray-fbi-director-preparing-resign/ Wray very wisely wants to be nowhere near the blast radius: Donald Trump Is About to Go Nuclear on the FBI. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/11/27/donald-trump-is-about-to-go-nuclear-on-the-fbi-n4934668

Inconvenient Truth. Tulsi served in the military and knows the price of war, so she doesn't want America sending its treasure off to fight other people's wars.

Hatred Born Out of Delusion David Strom Liberals keep accusing conservatives of being inherently violent, yet somehow, it is the left that always celebrates political violence. The latest example is the reaction to the assassination of UnitedHealth Group's CEO Brian Thompson. If you spent any time over the past few days on social media, you would have been treated to a chorus of celebration, mostly from leftists, over the murder of a corporate CEO. There were more than a few people who recoiled at the glee, but far too many put the assassination video on loop and chuckled at his death. Ostensibly, this was because Thompson was a Very Bad Man, responsible for the death of thousands because UnitedHealth is in the business of profiting off people's suffering. There is a great deal of overlap between the class of people who celebrated Hamas' attack on Israel and the assassination of a CEO. Both are driven by a resentment of people who wrongly consider themselves oppressed despite being among the most privileged people in the world. Almost all of them are college-educated, gleefully sure of their moral superiority, and for the most part, they feel like they don't get the power, prestige, and financial rewards that are their due. They are members of an elite class, but generally speaking, they are the losers in the race to the top of the elite. They have degrees in all sorts of useless "studies" for which they paid an outrageous amount and will never get any return on their investment.

The Marxism in Front of You That You Can't Unsee, Volume I: Trans Insanity Kevin Downey Jr. Minutes after the legalization of gay marriage back in 2015, which I was all for, I heard a word that was new to me: "transgender." I heard it immediately and I heard it a lot. FACT-O-RAMA! Tyranny comes disguised as virtue. The Lefty Marxists, pretending they oppose all forms of bigotry, will deem anything they want to "cancel" -- like voter ID and Donald Trump -- as racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, etc. The goal of Marxism has never been to save the "oppressed" but to use them as foot soldiers to do their bidding. I expected the LGB crowd to take victory laps but saw few. Now it was all about this new victim class of bearded ladies few had heard of and, most importantly, where can they pee-pee without getting beaten up? The answer was they would use the ladies' room. Don't complain, bigot. FACT-O-RAMA! I found one case of a transgender dude in a dress beaten up in a high school restroom, numerous cases of trans people punched out for being in the ladies' room, and a ton of cases of trans men sexually assaulting women and kids in public restrooms. As a former liberal who had spent most of my adult life living in or near New York City, and with plenty of gay friends, I was suspicious as to how this previously unknown group of dudettes was suddenly front and center. Moreover, I thought it was qu eer (original meaning, see what I did there?) that my gay friends who fought -- sometimes literally -- for gay rights suddenly handed the keys to their LGB movement to a tiny group of men in Walmart dresses and bad mascara, who promptly threw the letter "T" onto the soon-to-be exploding list of allegedly betrodden victims of phantom "oppression." Social justice warriors quickly amped up their "wokeness." New "rules" came out weekly. Tampon machines were placed in high school men's rooms. We were told we needed to put our pronouns in our emails and to ask people, trans or otherwise, what their preferred pronouns are. Men in dresses weren't only allowed in the ladies' room, now they could get naked in the locker room next to your daughter. Got a problem with that, "transphobe"? At this point I assumed the new rules of "woke" were being written by obnoxious, liberal, white, green-haired freakshows, pounding away on Macs while enjoying gluten-free, vegan-friendly lattes, fighting to make the world a more "tolerant" place. I was way off. In the next nine years I would learn the LGBs didn't lovingly hand the reins of the gay pride faction to the transgender dudes. No, the trannies hijacked it. But how? There are so few of them. I realized later that the gay crew was never in charge of their own movement. The Marxists were running it all along.

(Worst Hitler ever) Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will reportedly attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on January 20.

VDH: What the Trump Nominees Have Not Done — And Will Not Do. Deflated by the resounding November defeat, the left now believes it can magically rebound by destroying President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees. Many of Trump’s picks are well outside the usual Washington, D.C./New York political, media, and corporate nexus. But that is precisely the point — to insert reformers into a bloated, incompetent, and weaponized government who are not part of it. Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, is already drawing severe criticism. His furious enemies cannot go after his resume, since he has spent a lifetime in private, congressional, and executive billets, both in investigations and intelligence. Instead, they claim he is too vindictive and does not reflect the ethos of the FBI. But what will Patel not do as the new director? He will not serially lie under oath to federal investigators as did interim FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a current Patel critic. He will not forge an FBI court affidavit, as did convicted felon and agency lawyer Kevin Clinesmith. He will not claim amnesia 245 times under congressional oath to evade embarrassing admissions as did former Director James Comey. He will not partner with a foreign national to collect dirt and subvert a presidential campaign as the FBI did with Christopher Steele in 2016. He will not use the FBI to draft social media to suppress news unfavorable to a presidential candidate on the eve of an election. He would not have suppressed FBI knowledge that Hunter Biden’s laptop was genuine — to allow the lie to spread that it was “Russian disinformation” on the eve of the 2020 election. He will not raid the home of an ex-president with SWAT teams, surveil Catholics, monitor parents at school board meetings, or go after pro-life peaceful protestors. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/12/06/what_the_trump_nominees_have_not_done_--_and_will_not_do_152053.html

There It Is: Biden Vows to Send Our Tax Dollars to Rebuild New Syrian Regime Boy, did we call it or what? Earlier this afternoon we told you how President Joe Biden planned to address the nation about the ongoing regime change in Syria. Damascus has fallen and newly freed prisoners are eyeing a trip to America (because of course), and we all asked how much of our tax dollars would be going to the beleaguered Middle East nation. Well, Biden addressed the nation and now we know: While Americans in North Carolina are still sleeping in tents. In winter. https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/12/08/biden-vows-aid-to-new-syrian-regime-n2404877

No. ,

Obvious differences. President Trump Responds to Civil War in Syria: "This is not our fight" ... "Do not get involved" President Biden to Address Nation on War in Syria and X Users Wonder How Much This Is Gonna Cost Us So. Syria. There's a lot going on over there, but the CliffsNotes version is this: about two weeks ago, Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and other rebels launched an attack in the north, and quickly overtook the city of Aleppo before moving on Damascus. Yesterday, Damascus fell and Bashar al-Assad stepped down after ruling since his father died in 2000. Despite Kamala Harris' asinine claim during the debates that there were no American troops in combat zones, there are 900 troops in Syria right now, and President Biden (yeah, he's still president, we guess) is going to address the nation about it: What could possibly go wrong? https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/12/08/biden-to-address-country-on-syria-n2404863
