Flotsam and Jetsam - Weekend Leftovers

As befits the Sunday before Christmas, the news mostly seems to consist of leftover from the last week.

A day later, and the big nasty important fight over the budget already seems to well behind us. NYPo's Rich Lowry thinks the GOP’s budget revolt a hopeful sign of fiscal sanity — but it’s just a start. At Twitchy, Don Lemon Has ‘President Musk’ Narrative Thrown Back in His Face by Man on the Street. Libs of TikTok@libsoftiktok "Turns out the cancer research funding that Democrats are all blaming on @elonmusk, was a stand alone bill that passed in the Republican controlled House but got held up in the Democrat controlled Senate. Democrats k*lled a funding bill for child cancer research." From OTP, Musk Says He’ll Fund Moderate Democrats In Primaries. Remember, he's an ally, not an actual conservative. 

Byron York at WaEx seems happy that Kash Patel, onetime FBI target, now on track to run the FBI. I expect a lot of resignations before he takes the chair.

Insty recalls HOW IT STARTED: ‘When Hitler Isn’t Bad Enough!’ The Atlantic Ups Dictator Ante to Sound Alarm About Trump. Atop Da Hill Jonathan Turley worries that The joy is gone: A liberal hate-fest for the holidays and at his own site, is upset by Rep.

In August, Wikstrom’s campaign started monitoring when Johnson was coming and going from his Little Canada home to his Roseville apartment. According to the lawsuit, Johnson’s vehicles were in Little Canada every morning and night."

With 29 days left, the Biden/Harris/who-knows-who administration as also receding in the rearview mirror, though, not without some bumps in the road. Wilfred Reilly@wil_da_beast630, "Never forget that they just blatantly lied this whole Presidency. "They" is the entire media." Quote Pete From Baltimore@PP69153735 Replying to @wil_da_beast630 Many conservatives were making "Weekend At Bernies' analogies back in 2020. Biden didnt suddenly go senile in 2024."

The startling allegation comes after shocking WSJ reports on the Biden administration’s cover-up of the president’s declining health, revealing he has been absent from key moments of his presidency and uninvolved in major decisions, such as the disastrous Afghanistan troop withdrawal. According to some of family members Biden “was clearly not well.” “[Biden] made us wait an extra three hours to receive the bodies of our dead family members because he couldn't pull it together.” “One of the biggest shocks for me was meeting a Commander-in-Chief who was clearly not well or fit for the position he was in.” “'We sat in that office for what seemed like an eternity waiting on the doddering old fool.” Vicky Taft at PJM is onto Joe's Last Grift, a last minute all expenses paid vacation.

OTP reports Biden Considers Commuting Sentences Of All Federal Death-Row Inmates. Insty quips BIDEN ISN’T “CONSIDERING” ANYTHING. HE’S INCAPABLE OF IT. WHOEVER CONTROLS THE AUTOPEN IS DOING THE CONSIDERING. "Biden considers commuting the sentences of federal death row inmates: report. And we don’t even know who controls the autopen."

Capt. Ed at Hat Hair speculates Did Biden Pull Trans Regs to Head Off Congressional Review? WokeSpy has a Report: Jill Biden Is Urging Joe To “Burn The Whole Thing Down.” At OTP, Feds Scheming To Lock In Long-Term Telework Provisions Before Trump Takes Over. If it happens, the DOGE twins need to shut down their buildings, and eliminate the area pay differentials based on the cost of living in different areas.

Change their fate.” Another of the shocking billboards reads: “Your wife and daughter will pay for the trip with their bodies.” Also at NYPo, Feds raid migrant Tren de Aragua gang house in NYC — after tracking GPS ankle monitor to hideout.

Make killing a US citizen while illegally being in the country a federal crime, with the death penalty on the table. 

Politico whines Judges increasingly alarmed as Trump’s Jan. 6 clemency decision nears. Too bad, just do your job to provide equal justice. But, as Charlotte Hazard at JTN reports Federal judge allows Jan. 6 defendant to attend Trump inauguration "Judge Tanya Chutkan authorized the Jan. 6 defendant, Eric Peterson, to be able to travel more freely in Kansas City, Missouri where he's from." Paul Bedard at WaEx, GOP majority say Jan. 6 protesters ‘treated worse’ than BLM rioters. Sundance notes the House Subcommittee on Weaponization of Government Releases a 17,000 Page Report Outlining The Obama/Biden Weaponization of Government. "The massive documentary report is broken down into four segments [Available Here]. It is going to take some time to go through all of the reports and extract the critical components. If you would like to take a review, the four-segment links are below:" Steve Moore at Hat Hair says To Bring Joy to America: End the Weaponization of the IRS. "One of the highest priorities for the incoming Trump administration should be to end the Democrats' weaponization of powerful government agencies against taxpayers and businesses they don't like. Nowhere has this mission been more pernicious than the party-line vote to fund the IRS with nearly $80 billion and hire tens of thousands of new tax snoops. By the way, according to the IRS press office, the additional audits have so far raised less than $2 billion, far less than the additional expenditures.  So how is this program "paying for itself"?"

Instead, she's wearing a clown bow on her head and asking if you have "resting gift face." Larry Bell at NewsMax opines Don't Expect Media's Myopia to Clear as Anti-Trump Bias Recedes.

Stacy McCain take a stand Against Euphemisms
To control language is to control thought, and the Thought Police of our time keep quite busy in preventing us from thinking clearly:
“OnlyFans model” is a euphemism, like calling a stripper an “exotic dancer.” Basically, any old-fashioned slang for sexual behavior is now prohibited as somehow harmful, so that whore is banned for the same basic reason that shemale or tranny is banned. The use of old-fashioned language implies an old-fashioned attitude, and is thus considered derogatory because (once upon a time, in Ye Olde Dark Ages) most people did not approve of the behaviors such words describe. It’s like how bums and winos got promoted to “homeless people,” while kooks and looneys became part of the “neordivergent community.” This sort of censorship, making it mandatory to employ the preferred politically-correct terminology for deviant behavior, exploits the desire of civilized people to avoid offending others — the Dictatorship of Niceness. . . .

From Da Caller, Nearly Every SJSU Teammate Of Male Volleyball Player Blaire Fleming Enters Transfer Portal." A total of seven players are exiting San Jose State following a campaign that featured eight forfeits, consistent security from police, scrutiny all across the United States and an incredible amount of tension between players and the coaching staff. Hell, things got so bad that teammate Brooke Slusser said she got violent threats against her." Lemme outa here!
