Flotsam and Jetsam - White House Staffers Hold Protest Against Biden

Kind of a catch up day here, as I only hit the highlights yesterday.  In Biden Crime Syndicate news, Stacy McCain claims Can We At Least Agree That Nobody — and Certainly No Republican — Cares About Hunter Biden’s ‘Struggle’? I sympathize a little, but not much. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 12.13.23 (Evening Edition)  Shark Tank: Byron Donalds Rips Hunter Biden’s No-Show For Deposition, Calls Statement “A Joke.” As PJM's Chris Queen notes Members of the Elite Think They're Untouchable. At the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 12.14.23 EBL notes Hunter Biden Snubs Subpoena. Sarah Hoyt at Insty, HE’S NOT LYING ABOUT “ANYTHING” HE’S LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING: White House says Biden ‘not lying about anything’ in impeach probe, despite evidence: ‘Baseless political stunt’.

At Ace's Quick Hits Joe Biden's "own" White House staffers have cucked him, holding an "historic" vigil outside of the White House to protest his policies and demand that he impose a ceasefire on Israel. Arynn Wexler at Da Fed, thinks Biden’s Palestine Prioritization Betrays His Pro-Israel Facade. Breitbart want you to WATCH as Kirby Tries to Clean Up Biden’s Claim of ‘Indiscriminate Bombing.’

From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 12.13.23 (Evening Edition) At Da Fed, Eddie Scarry says  Every Biden 2024 Scenario Is Deadly Dangerous. VodkaPundit at Insty KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Uh-Oh, Kamala Harris Is Showing Up Everywhere. “The mere thought of a Harris presidency is creepy. She’s a less coherent, more radical Biden. Her one upside compared to her boss is that she tends to know how to exit a room without assistance.” As John Sexton at Hat Hair observes, David Axelrod say Polling is 'Very, Very Dark' for Biden. 

Breitbart, Jill Biden Releases Widely Ridiculed White House Holiday Video. At the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 12.14.23 Louder With Crowder notes Jill Biden drops official WH Christmas video and it looks like she got her hands on some of Hunter’s special candy and at Da Fed, Evita Alfonso claims Jill Biden’s ‘Hunger Games’ Themed Christmas Video Is An Abomination. 

John Sexton has More Thoughts on the Vibecession. Beege Welborn hears No Bigs: FedRes Signals Three - Count 'Em - THREE Rate Reductions in an Election Year, but it's not election year politics. Althouse, "The New York Times spoke with more than 100 child roofers in nearly two dozen states, including some who began at elementary-school age." "Children"... but not the NYT reader's children or grandchildren. The headline omits any reference to immigration." At Ace's Hasbro Will Slash 1,100 Jobs, 20% of Its Workforce. "A toymaker announces huge layoffs right before Christmas. Boy this Bidenomics economy is redhot!"

Paul Bedard at WaEx amazed as Trump support erupts; 14-point swing provides 10-point advantage. Never-anybody-but-Trump Sundance at CTH rejoices President Trump Beating Governor DeSantis by 41 Points in Florida and  Chris Sununu Slights DeSantis, Endorses Nikki Haley. Althouse, "Inside the Troll Army Waging Trump’s Online Campaign/A team of meme-makers has been flooding social media with pro-Trump posts riddled with sexist and racist tropes. Donald Trump is cheering them on." "That's a NYT headline that makes me think if a comparable group were making memes for Biden, the headline would celebrate them as feisty and smart and really getting under Trump's skin. Also, The desperation is so intense, and it's only December. They can't go on like this.  

1) These people seem certifiably insane. As in, needing serious psychological help. I'm not exaggerating here, they seem to have completely lost a relationship with reality.
2) I laughed multiple times in this Supercut. https://t.co/FY6eXuzqnb

At Freep, Peter Savodnik: I Was Wrong About John Fetterman. "I thought the Pennsylvania senator was a trust fund kid pretending to have tough guy morals. But after October 7, he proved to be the real deal." Capt. Ed chimes in "I got that wrong about Fetterman, too. I still would prefer a Republican in the US Senate, and I’m still concerned about Fetterman’s cognitive capacity. But I have a lot more respect for his moral capacity than I ever expected to have, and his toughness reminds us just how dangerous moral relativism is when unchecked."

They're not, as Christopher Wray tells me, "just an idea.""

Hat Hair's Dave Strom details how the Government Weaponized Against Elon Musk Once Again

The latest shot taken at Musk is the FCC deciding to reverse their earlier decision to subsidize Starlink access for rural customers who otherwise have no ability to get broadband.

The program is supposed to close the “digital divide” by ensuring that every person in America can access high-speed internet. Given the country’s geography, some people will never get traditional internet service simply because the expense of getting cables to their homes is astronomical. The program was to go into effect in 2025, allowing providers to expand their infrastructure. Starlink was one of several providers serving various areas.

Starlink was supposed to close that gap, making subsidies available to people who couldn’t otherwise afford the high startup costs of setting up the service.

Back in 2020, the FCC identified Starlink as the most viable solution to closing the digital divide for over half a million Americans–a decision so glaringly obvious that only a fool would deny that it was the best available solution.

Now, the FCC is reversing its decision to back Starlink, and despite dropping the service, the FCC has no alternative in place. In dropping Starlink, they left the customers who were to be served nothing.

Paranoia at CTH?  Controlled Information Beta Test Underway? "Someone asked: …”[Alex] Jones’ theory of the “massive cyber-attack” that requires a lockdown of the internet, followed by a limited access/controlled access internet where only approved (“safe”) sites can be accessed is both alarmingly believable and difficult to prepare for. It also nearly perfectly mirrors the COVD playbook in a virtual way – virtual lock downs, virtual “approved activities/sites”, controlled information and total censorship.” (link) My requested response… Where the heck do you think Jones’ came up with that theory? Go back to AUGUST 2023, it’s so transparently predictable I even created a drop-down category “Internet” for the citations and articles about it. Jones is describing what I called, “The shadow banning of the internet“. I believe the Beta Test was today. . . "

John Sexton again, Pro-Palestinian Protesters Shut Down the 110 Freeway in Los Angeles/ How could they tell? From the Oaklandside, Oakland menorah destroyed, thrown into Lake Merritt.

Ace, Harvard's Biden-Campaign-Connected Media Flack Sends a Defamation Lawyer to Threaten the New York Post About Its Reporting on Plagiarizing Antisemite Affirmative-Action Dullard and Clown Claudine Gay. "Huh -- a Biden campaign staffer attempting to silence the New York Post about a relevant political story. The corrupt tyrannical Democrat Party will never change until we take a train spike and drive it through its head." Tristan Justice at Da Fed thinks  DEI Is Welfare For People Like Claudine Gay Who Couldn’t Get A Job Without Identity Politics. We have to import crab pickers to the Eastern Shore every year. PJM's Kevin Downey says If You Thought Harvard's Commie President Was Going To Be Fired, You Still Don't Get It.  Insty, WELL, HARVARD: “Harvard forces a Jewish student group to hide its menorah each night after its lighting over fears of vandalism that ‘won’t look good’ for the Ivy League school, the rabbi of Harvard Chabad said.” At CJ Chris Rufo discourses on Harvard and Hegemony "Higher education’s ideological rot has been exposed for Americans to see—but the elites who adhere to such thinking retain control of these institutions."

Bari Weiss at Freep, has ideas on How to Really Fix American Higher Education "Our universities must return to their original purpose: to seek the truth and give youths the knowledge they need to flourish. Here are four ways to do that." Althouse hears "If you can’t bear walking past a rock someone called a dirty name 100 years ago, how are you going to deal with life?" "Writes John McWhorter, in "Black Students Are Being Trained to Think They Can’t Handle Discomfort" (NYT)."  Insty, ALL THE BEST PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT STATUES WERE JUST PROPERTY IN 2020: Christian Veteran Knocks Down, BEHEADS Statue to Satan in Iowa. "I hope he used methods that were approved by pro-statue toppling Popular Mechanics(!) in 2020: How to Topple a Statue Using Science. And by pro-statue toppling historians back then as well: Professor of ‘art crime’ instructs protesters on better way to topple statues that offend them."

Ace, In Leaked Video, IBM's CEO Admits That His Company Discriminates Against Whites and Asians In Hiring, Chops Employees' Bonuses For Hiring Too Many of These Disfavored Races. "From Joe Biden's dog sniffs a lot of malarkey, the CEO is right on tape proudly announcing that people will have their pay cut if they hire too many Asians. This isn't some DEI flunky. This is the head of the entire corporation."

Insty ,WHAT COULD GO WRONG? California’s latest insane gender policy takes effect next month.

Parts of California are so downtrodden that people need to consult “ poop maps ” to avoid human feces while walking outside, homelessness is rampant in major cities, and the cost of living is out of control. But California’s state government thinks now is the time to … regulate Toys “R” Us.

A law passed by the state legislature and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) in 2021 is set to take effect in the new year , mandating “gender-neutral” toy sections in large toy retail stores. As the Washington Examiner reported after Newsom signed the bill, “Retail stores that fail to comply with the mandate risk being penalized with $250 fines for initial violations and $500 fines for all subsequent violations.”

Hey, remember last year, when the Orwellian Newsom tried to gaslight potential voters that California was “the freedom state?” Good times, good times.
