WE ARE WATCHING: Up to 30 Senate ‘Republicans’ Are Allegedly Prepared to Defy President Trump and Sink MAGA Warrior Matt Gaetz’s Hopes of Becoming Attorney General
Cullen Linebarger
President Trump’s choice of MAGA warrior Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as his next attorney general has allegedly hit a significant roadblock in the Senate.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump sent shockwaves throughout the political world on Wednesday after announcing Gaetz as America’s next leading law enforcement official. Trump called him a “deeply gifted and tenacious attorney” who will “end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations, and restore Americans’ badly shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.”
Moreover, Trump said Gaetz as Attorney General would “root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution.”
Hearing this news was hailed by conservative activists and publications across the country, including The Gateway Pundit. After witnessing Trump get backstabbed by the likes of Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr during his first term in office, having someone willing to focus on upholding the Constitution is a welcome change.
Many Senate Republicans, though, allegedly loathe the thought of Gaetz being unleashed to drain the Deep State swamp as Attorney General.
The two most left-wing GOPers in the conference, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine have already announced their opposition to Gaetz.
But the number of silent no’s is allegedly far higher. According to a report in The Wall Street Journal published on Friday, as many as 30 RINOS have decided to spit in Trump’s face and vote no on Gaetz’s nomination when it comes before the Senate.
“People are p***ed,” one source told the Journal.
From the Journal:
One person familiar with the conversations among Republican senators said “significantly more than four” of them are opposed, which would be enough to tank Gaetz’s chances. “People are p*ssed,” the person said.
Other estimates ranged from more than a dozen Republican “no” votes to more than 30. “It won’t even be close,” another person said.
RINO senators are also determined to make the process as painful as possible for Gaetz. John Cornyn of Texas told reporters on Thursday that he “absolutely” wants to review the House Ethics Committee’s investigation of Matt Gaetz.
“I think there should not be any limitation on the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation, including what the House Ethics Committee generated,” Cornyn told reporters on Thursday.
“So you want to see [the report]?” ABC’s Rachel Scott asked Cornyn.
“Absolutely,” Cornyn replied.
The House Ethics Committee’s years-long investigation into Gaetz over allegations of sexual misconduct ended prior to his resignation from Congress. The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the Ethics Committee’s resurrection of the garbage allegations against Gaetz, even after the Biden Department of Injustice cleared Gaetz of all criminal wrongdoing and dropped the charges in February 2023.
However, the investigation was reopened in 2023 when Gaetz challenged disgraced former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was later booted by Gaetz’s Motion to Vacate the Chair. Later, when Gaetz threatened to bring a Motion to Vacate against McCarthy in October 2023, McCarthy’s cronies started threatening to expel Gaetz based on the Committee’s witch-hunt.

Mainstream Media Cries Foul Over Musk Meeting With Iran Ambassador…On Peace
Via Associated Press
Zero Hedge
CNBC and other mainstream networks are screaming about a meeting between Elon Musk and Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, which happened Monday, but is only now being revealed by the NY Times and others. They are questioning just how involved Musk is in America’s national security affairs.
The MSM is deeply concerned about such unofficial diplomacy, given Musk is closely advising President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team. And yet, this is how diplomacy among influential figures often happens:
Elon Musk, a close adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, met with Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations on Monday in New York in a session that two Iranian officials described as a discussion of how to defuse tensions between Iran and the United States.
The Iranians said the meeting between Mr. Musk and Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani lasted more than an hour and was held at a secret location. The Iranians, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss policy publicly, described the meeting as “positive” and “good news.”
Indeed it is good news when “enemies” and rivals of the United States can be engaged positively, in search of efforts to achieve peace in a region on the brink of exploding into bigger war, with the alternative being more endless death, destruction, and runaway escalation.
While the Trump team has not issued official comment, it’s a great sign that Trump seems serious about deal-making toward ceasefire in places like Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. According to more from the NY Times:
Karoline Leavitt, the transition spokeswoman for the incoming Trump-Vance administration, said in a statement: “The American people re-elected President Trump because they trust him to lead our country and restore peace through strength around the world. When he returns to the White House, he will take the necessary action to do just that.”
Of course, the Iranian ambassador to the UN is not hard to find. He has over the years been interviewed and engaged by countless independent media sources – and understandably the Islamic Republic might be distrustful of neocons and hawks on both sides of the aisle.
Given the Biden administration for much of the past year has been talking big about ceasefire, but with nothing to show for it, the fact that Musk is engaging Tehran from behind the scenes on behalf of the incoming Trump administration can only be a win in a regional conflagration where so many lives have already been lost on all sides.
“An early direct meeting between a senior Iranian official and Mr. Musk raises the possibility of a change in tone between Tehran and Washington under the Trump administration, despite a charged history between the president-elect and Iran,” the Times continues, admitting that yes – this is something to be hopeful about. “One of the Iranian officials said that it was Mr. Musk who had requested the meeting and that the ambassador picked the site.”
De-escalation, especially on the nuclear front, is a good thing (but try convincing the mainstream media and Washington foreign policy gate-keepers…)
But that aside, this is what the mainstream is most worried about
Mr. Musk has emerged as the most powerful private citizen in the Trump transition, and has sat in on nearly every job interview. During a call last week with Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, the president-elect handed the phone to the billionaire. Mr. Musk has played a key role in providing communications capability to Ukraine in the war with Russia.
If all of this puts the warring sides on a potential path toward de-escalation, then it’s something to welcome, instead of the usual sham accusations of ‘foreign influence’ or ‘compromise’ leveled by those usual deep state interests which have more to gain from perpetuating war and from the constant flow of arms that fuel it.

Russia Retaliates by Cutting Uranium Exports to US
Svetlana Ekimenko
The Biden administration enacted legislation banning supplies of “unirradiated, low-enriched uranium that is produced in the Russian Federation or by a Russian entity” earlier in the year, turning a deaf ear to concerns voiced by US nuclear operators and nuclear fuel market participants.
The Russian government has imposed temporary restrictions on the export of enriched uranium to the United States. Companies can still export uranium to the US under one-off licenses issued by the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control.
This was a tit-for-tat move after the Biden administration signed a law banning Russian uranium imports until 2040, with exceptions allowed until 2028, despite warnings that the move could backfire on the American economy.
What Repercussions Could Russia’s Ban Have?Russia is the world’s largest supplier of enriched uranium. It accounts for about 44% of the global capacity to separate the uranium isotopes needed in nuclear reactors. Its share of the enriched uranium market boasts an estimated export value of $2.7 billion.
Russia’s measure may generate potential supply risks to utilities operating American reactors.
27% of US enriched fuel demand in 2023, with purchases worth $574 million. This is down by nearly 32% from a year ago, according to US statistics.
Russia was America’s top foreign supplier of fuel for its commercial nuclear reactors in 2022.
Some reactor operators may struggle to find an alternative supplier, said Jonathan Hinze, president of nuclear fuel market information and analysis company UxC.
The US has its own deposits of uranium, but its domestic enrichment capacity has been in decline. Biden’s bill banning imports of Russian enriched uranium also provided some $2.7 billion in federal funding to build new enrichment capacity in America.
Currently, the US has just one commercial enrichment facility in New Mexico, owned by a British, Dutch and German consortium, Urenco Ltd.
Urenco’s US unit supplies about one-third of the enriched uranium used in American reactors.
“We don’t have enough enriched uranium here… They should have been stockpiling enriched uranium in anticipation of this happening,” nuclear analyst Chris Gadomski told BloombergNEF.
Restrictions on uranium supplies may affect prices as this automatically increases demand from other sources, where the enriched fuel has not yet been produced in the required quantity, analysts warn.
Bids for November 2025 uranium delivery soared $4 to reach $84 a pound after the news, per UxC.
Shares of other uranium or uranium-related companies have surged. Shares of Canada’s Cameco Corp. jumped by 6%, and those of US’ Ur-Energy Inc. and Uranium Energy Corp. rose by 10% and 13%, respectively.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked the government to consider restrictions on the export of strategic materials like nickel and titanium in response to Western sanctions policy, emphasizing that restrictions should be considered so long as “this does not harm us.”

Tulsi Gabbard: A Brave Call to Debunk NATO’s War Propaganda in Ukraine
Strategic Culture Foundation
Tulsi Gabbard can provide the necessary counsel to Trump upon which a lasting peace settlement can be made.
The nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as the United States intelligence supremo has sent shockwaves through the American and NATO establishments. The Western news media – always a dutiful echo chamber for deep-state policymakers – is reverberating with horror at her nomination by President-elect Donald Trump.
That reaction is a good sign that something significant has happened.
The potential appointment of Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) could be the most consequential decision yet by Trump in forming his cabinet.
If one move could signal the foreign policy direction under the 47th president, Gabbard’s nomination is the most salient and potentially the most constructive on the key issue of world peace.
Time magazine headlined with the U.S. intelligence community’s response to Gabbard’s selection. “We are reeling,” it was reported. Reuters reported that the Western “spy world is vexed.” Meanwhile, in The Atlantic, an establishment mouthpiece, Gabbard was denounced as a “threat to the security of the United States.”
That’s a staggering charge to levy on the person who is going to be head of national security.
It is almost hilarious to see the apoplectic reaction in the U.S. establishment and its servile mainstream media.
CNN’s news anchor Jim Sciutto was distraught in sharing his concerns with colleague Richard Quest, remarking that Gabbard’s views “contradict” almost everything about U.S. foreign policies.
If we may paraphrase that exchange, the sentiments were: Oh my God, how terrible! Whatever shall we say now about all the lies we have been spinning for years and getting fat salaries for?
After all, as far as the U.S. corporate media are concerned, especially those channels and newspapers associated with the Democrats, the establishment, and the deep state intelligence apparatus, Tulsi Gabbard has been smeared as a “Russian asset.”
It is indeed profoundly challenging – one might even say, earth-shattering – to the deep state if Gabbard becomes Director of National Intelligence.
As with Trump’s other cabinet picks, the nominations will have to be approved by Senate panels. So there is a while to go before her post is confirmed. A lot can change or be derailed.
Trump’s cabinet picks this week have been keenly watched by observers trying to discern the future foreign policies of the next presidency, which begins in January after his inauguration. Trump’s early call-ups this week of hawkish figures Pete Hegseth for defense and Marco Rubio for secretary of state caused dismay among some critics of U.S. foreign policy who wanted a fundamental break from warmongering and hostility toward Russia, China, and Iran, among others.
Then came Trump’s selection of Tulsi Gabbard. The former Congresswoman has gained wide popular American and international respect for her outspoken and independent criticism of U.S. militarism in the Middle East and Ukraine.
However, the U.S. political establishment and media have slandered her as a “traitor” and a “Russian asset” for her views criticizing Washington’s regime change wars in Syria and the Middle East. In 2017, Gabbard traveled to Syria and met with President Bashar al-Assad. She spoke out against Washington’s covert policy of sponsoring terrorist militia for regime change in Damascus. For telling the truth, she was vilified as an “apologist” for Assad.
More recently, the “apologist” slur was thrown at her again after Gabbard opposed the U.S. and NATO’s arming of the Kiev regime and the proxy war against Russia. She said that the conflict in Ukraine could have been avoided if Russia’s security concerns about NATO’s threatening expansion had been taken into consideration. How refreshing to hear that sanity and objectivity.
In a twisted way, the CNN clapping seals are correct. Her views on the conflict in Ukraine do indeed contradict the U.S. establishment and media’s propaganda about “Russian aggression.” Her views unequivocally debunk the wall-to-wall “news” propaganda as false and serve as a warning to the public that NATO’s lies are dragging the world into a nuclear war.
The role of Tulsi Gabbard in the second Trump administration – if she makes it through Senate vetting – cannot be overstated.
In her DNI capacity, she is the intel supremo who oversees the CIA and NSA. Through her daily briefings to the president, Gabbard will play a crucial role in President Trump’s foreign policymaking. Given Trump’s freewheeling style, it can be fairly assumed that Gabbard’s input into policymaking will have much greater influence than the secretaries of defense or state. She will call the shots, and Trump will designate Hegseth, Rubio, and others to follow suit on the policies.
Some critics of Gabbard have pointed out that she is unduly supportive of Israel. That is a valid concern.
Nevertheless, in relations with Russia, China, and Iran, Gabbard has been a trenchant and tenacious voice of reason. She has courageously advocated peaceful negotiations and diplomacy along with historical understanding as a way to avoid military conflicts. Her reasonable emphasis on diplomacy illustrates just how extremist the U.S. “mainstream” has become in its promotion of wars and more wars.
Gabbard is a veteran of the Iraq War and appears to have been deeply affected by the human cost of wars. She has repeatedly condemned endless wars that are endemic to U.S. imperialism. Her honesty in criticizing the failings and faults of American policy, calling it out often as criminal, is admirable.
She quit the Democrat party in 2022, condemning it for its relentless warmongering policies. She endorsed Trump for the White House because, she said, he would prevent World War Three by stopping the reckless proxy war in Ukraine.
President-elect Trump has said that he wants to end the conflict in Ukraine as one of his priorities.
Some commentators have expressed skepticism about the chances of Trump making a peace settlement in Ukraine. Even senior Russian figures have said they do not expect significant change in U.S. policy.
Still, Russia has clearly stated that it is open to dialogue and diplomacy. Moscow has said it will respond positively to Trump’s outreach. And Trump is reported to be ready to appoint an envoy of credible stature to explore a peaceful solution in Ukraine.
Now, there’s the rub. Russia is adamant that its conditions for peaceful settlement must involve its original objectives: no Ukraine membership of Ukraine, denazification of the Kiev regime, and acceptance of realities on the ground, meaning recognition of Russia’s regained historical territories. Russia will not accept a frozen conflict, and given the rapid military advances it is making against the NATO-backed regime, Moscow is in a position to fully demand its terms.
If Trump is serious about finding a peaceful resolution, he will have to accept Russia’s terms. That will require an understanding of how that conflict started and how to reverse it. No bluster, no bravado, and certainly no browbeating Russia.
Tulsi Gabbard can provide the necessary counsel to Trump upon which a lasting peace settlement can be made because she understands the history of that conflict and has debunked the false propaganda that the U.S. establishment, the Democrats, some Republicans, and the corporate media have peddled for far too long.

Languages of Africa: Niger-Congo Subfamilies
Kunte Kinte spoke Mandinko
Episode 7 Niger Congo: Biggest Language Family in Africa Part II
Language Families of the World
Dr John McWhorter
Film Review
In McWhorter’s second lecture on the Niger-Congo family of languages, he focuses on on the wide variety of subfamilies. Unlike English and Persian, which underwent simplification after large numbers of adult speakers were forced to learn them (following conquest) – all Niger-Congo subfamilies retain their original complexity and are extremely difficult to learn.
Ijaw: spoken on the west coast of Nigeria is atypical of Niger-Congo languages in that it has no genders and places verbs at the end of the sentence. McWhorter hypothesizes that Ijaw was most likely Nigeria’s indigenous language, replaced by more modern Niger-Congo languages when the region was overwhelmed by Niger-Congo speakers.Fulu: (part of the Atlantic subfamily of Niger-Congo) spoken in Senegal. It has 20 genders (noun classes), which are designated by suffixes.Edo: (spoken in Benin) uses tones (like Chinese) to designate tense.Bambara, spoken in West Africa, uses tones in place of a definite/indefinite article (the/a).Twi: (spoken in southern and central Ghana) uses tones to different between identical words with totally different meanings.Yoruba and Fangbe: (spoken in Nigeria) both use tones, while Fangbe uses reduplication.*Ibo and Hausa: (also spoken in Nigeria) don’t use tones.Manding: subfamily of languages spoken in Burkina Faso, Sengal, Guinea-Bisseau, Sierra Leone, Mali, Liberia, Ivory Coast and Gambia. The best known Manding language is Mandinka, spoken in Gambia. Kunte Kinte, in Alex Haley’s fictional novel Roots, spoke Mandinka.*A widespread linguistic process in which a part or an exact copy of a word is repeated to alter meaning,

This time Trump really means business
Fyodor Lukyanov
The speed of his cabinet nomination announcements tells us that the Republican president-elect has a plan
US President-elect Donald Trump has moved quickly to form his proposed new administration. His team is better prepared to take power than it was in 2016 – when neither the candidate himself nor the vast majority of his supporters believed he could win.
It’s too early to draw far-reaching conclusions, but in general, the composition of the preferred government reflects the ideological and political coalition that has gathered around the president-elect. From the outside, it may look motley, but so far it is all in line with Trump’s views.
Contrary to the perception actively propagated by Trump’s opponents, he is not an unpredictable and inconsistent eccentric. More precisely, we should separate his character and mannerisms, which are flighty, from his overall worldview. The latter has not changed, not only in the years since Trump entered big politics, but more generally in his public life since the 1980s. It suffices to look through the old interviews of the famed tycoon to see this: ‘Communism (in the broadest sense) is evil’, ‘the allies must pay up’, ‘the American leadership does not know how to make favorable deals but I do’, and so on.
Trump’s personal qualities are important. But more importantly, in a somewhat cartoonish way, he embodies a set of classic Republican notions. America is at the center of the universe. However, not as a hegemon that rules everything, but simply as the best and most powerful country. It must be the strongest, including (or especially) militarily, in order to advance its interests wherever and whenever it needs to. Essentially, there is no need for Washington to get directly involved in world affairs at all.
Profit is an absolute imperative for the future president (he is a businessman), and this does not contradict conservative ideals. America is a country built on the spirit of enterprise. Hence his rejection of over-regulation and his general suspicion of the extensive powers of the bureaucracy. In this, Trump joins forces with the equally flamboyant libertarian Elon Musk, who promises to rid the state of a hodgepodge of bureaucrats.
Musk himself is unlikely to be hanging around the president’s office for long, but politicians who think along these lines are likely to be there.An important difference between the new Trump cohort and traditional Republicans is a significantly lower degree of ideologization of politics in general and international politics in particular. Domestically, the rejection of an aggressive agenda in the spirit of the Woke movement and the imposition of the cult of minorities (which the Republicans call ‘Marxism’ and ‘communism’) plays an important role. It’s about imposition, because the human right to any lifestyle is not in itself questioned by conservatives. For example, key figures around Trump – ardent supporter and former ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell and billionaire Peter Thiel – are married to men.
In foreign policy, the conceptual difference is that Trump and his entourage do not believe, as the Biden White House does, that at the core of international relations is the struggle of democracies against autocracies. This does not mean ideological neutrality. The idea of the ‘free world’ and criticism of ‘communism’ (in which they include China, Cuba, Venezuela, and by inertia, Russia) plays an important role in the thinking of many Republicans. But the defining factor is something else – intolerance of those who for various reasons do not accept American supremacy.
Trump’s choice for national security adviser, Michael Waltz, for example, speaks negatively and disparagingly of Russia, but not in terms of a need to be ‘re-educated’, but because it interferes with America. Marco Rubio, who is being considered for secretary of state, does not oppose regime change in his ancestral homeland of Cuba, but is otherwise not a militant supporter of American intervention anywhere.
The undoubted priority of the Trumpists and those who have joined them is to support Israel and confront its opponents, first and foremost Iran. Last year, Elise Stefanik, the likely US ambassador to the UN, publicly shamed the presidents of leading American universities in Congress for alleged anti-Semitism. It is worth remembering that the only really effective use of force in Trump’s first term was the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, the head of the special forces of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Trump is not a warrior. Threats, pressure, violent demonstrations – yes. A large-scale armed campaign and mass bloodshed – why? Perhaps because of the peculiarities of relations with China, which is clearly seen as the number one rival. Not in a military sense, but rather in the political and economic sphere, so any ‘war’ with it (forcing it to accept terms favorable to America) should be cold and ruthless. This also applies in part to Russia, though the situation is very different. All of this is neither good nor bad for Moscow. Or to put it another way, it’s both good and bad. But the main thing is that it is not the way it has been up to now.

RFK Jr: Bill Gates and Fauci Will be Jailed Under New Trump Administration
By Bradley Greer
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has vowed he will use all the power necessary under the new Trump administration to jail Bill Gates, Dr. Antony Fauci, and Big Pharma executives who worked with media to censor the truth behind the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
The pharmaceutical elite, who thought that election fraud would carry Kamala Harris over the finish line, are now facing being exposed for perpetrating the biggest lie in U.S. history following Donald Trump’s landslide presidential victory on Tuesday.
According to Trump insiders, the new administration is already preparing to send the Pharma cartel to jail for destroying the lives of millions of Americans.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discovered undeniable evidence that the COVID-19 virus and the mRNA vaccine rollout were nothing more than a bioweapon used to create more Big Pharma customers and reduce the population.
This was also helped by Bill Gates, who pumped billions of dollars into the production of warp-speed vaccines.
Gates, who recently funnelled $50 million to the Kamala Harris‘s campaign in a desperate attempt to avoid standing trial in the U.S., now has nowhere left to run.
Last month, RFK Jr said: “[Bill Gates] has been indicted in the Netherlands for lying to the public about the COVID-19 vaccine. And he’s going to have to go to trial.”
“You think that he [Gates] wants to go to trial here in the United States of America?” Kennedy asked.
“[Do] you think maybe that’s one of the reasons he chose to give $50 million to Kamala Harris?”
A brave judge in the Netherlands ordered Gates to stand trial, ending his reign of terror.
Gates argued the judge had no jurisdiction over him; however, the judge still issued a ruling.
In August, a federal also judge ruled that RFK could sue the Biden administration for pressuring social media companies to censor COVID-19 vaccine information.
“The Court finds that Kennedy is likely to succeed on his claim that suppression of content posted was caused by actions of Government Defendants, and there is a substantial risk that he will suffer similar injury in the near future,” U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Louisiana declared in a ruling.
The lawsuit details how the government pressured social media giants to censor anyone who dared to question the official narrative about COVID-19 vaccines.
“Judge Terry Doughty carefully and clearly analyzed the law and facts and applied the framework from the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Murthy v. Missouri regarding standing,” CHD general counsel Kim Rosenberg said after the ruling, referring to a similar case brought against the government.
“The court also firmly found in plaintiffs’ favor that plaintiffs had not waived — and indeed had affirmatively raised — direct censorship claims in addition to listener claims.”
Meanwhile, Fauci is also trying to get away with his depraved crimes against humanity.
Besides pushing the deadly vaccine, Fauci also pressured people infected with AIDS to take his deadly drug AZT, resulting in the deaths of over 300,000 people.
RFK, who will be soon appointed Secretary of Health under President Donald Trump, also vowed to fire the entire National Institute of Health (NIH) team and jail Fauci.
During a recent speech, Kennedy said Trump would “make America healthy again” and that he would be a president “who is going to protect us against totalitarianism.”
Kennedy also vowed to stop the NIH from studying infectious diseases and moved to study chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cancer.
“I’m going to say to NIH scientists, God bless you all,” Kennedy said.
“Thank you for public service. We’re going to give infectious disease a break for about eight years.”

Corporate Media Angst-Stricken Over RFK Jr. as HHS Boss, Pharma Stock Tanks
Ben Bartree
Heavens to Betsy!
Who could have guessed that legacy media, Great Respecter of Democracy
, might not take well to the cabinet appointments of the man who won a landslide mandate from the people?
Virtually every article on this topic in legacy media follows the same formula:
· RFK Jr. is a dangerous vaccine denialist
· Some NGO asshole, probably getting paid by Bill Gates or similar interests, is worried the babies might not get all 72 of their CDC-recommended injections straight out of the womb
· Another random community college professor, excited to be quoted by CNN (I made it, Mom!) on such a grave matter of import, is also very concerned
· In addition to his anti-vaxx wrongthink, RFK Jr. bitterly clings to wild ideas like toxic industrial waste products dumped into the water supply with no informed consent from the public might not be ideal policy
· He also once chopped a whale’s head off
None of this lazy smearing of their political opponents worked to keep Trump out of office — if anything, it had the opposite effect of making him more sympathetic because 90% of the public at this point hates legacy media and knows they lie — why would it work now?
But let’s not intervene on behalf of the corporate media mid-suicide.
Instead, let’s cheer as they condemn themselves further to irrelevancy.
Via The Guardian (emphasis added):
“Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F Kennedy Jr as US secretary of health and human services has prompted widespread criticisms towards Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist who has embraced a slew of other debunked health-related conspiracy theories…
In response to Kennedy’s nomination, Public Citizen, a progressive nonprofit organization focusing on consumer advocacy, said: “Robert F Kennedy Jr is a clear and present danger to the nation’s health. He shouldn’t be allowed in the building at the department of health and human services (HHS), let alone be placed in charge of the nation’s public health agency.”…
Apu Akkad, an infectious disease physician at the University of Southern California, called the announcement a “scary day for public health”.”
If you cut through the BS, eventually you get to the real fear, which is that Pfizer stock might not be as lucrative as it was when the Brandon entity’s handlers were forcing everyone in the country to submit to their injections passed through the regulatory process via fraud and pseudoscience.
Via CNN (emphasis added):
“Shares of prominent vaccine makers plunged Thursday after President-elect Donald Trump announced his pick of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
An hour before the market closed Thursday, as news reports of Trump’s choice began trickling out, Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna dipped as much as 6%, and Pfizer fell almost 2%. Novavax, which created a protein-based Covid-19 vaccine, fell almost 6%.
Kennedy has been one of the country’s most prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists for years and has frequently spread falsehoods about the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Last week, Kennedy said he would “immediately” begin studying vaccine safety and efficacy but promised to not “take vaccines away from anybody.”
Other vaccine-related companies also felt the fallout. German company BioNTech closed 7% lower, and British GSK fell 2%. US vaccine companies have already been struggling, thanks to lessened demand since the peak of the pandemic. Over the past year, Pfizer stock has dipped 11%, and Moderna stock has plunged 46%.”

Trump’s Second Term: Foreign Policy
Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign revived his 2016 outsider crusade against the Washington’s military adventures. In his latest run, the president-elect struck a remarkably sober tone on the many conflicts that have erupted in the last few years — which Jewish think-tanks calmly dismiss as baseless vote-getting — though he provided scant details on how he would approach Ukraine and the Middle East. The realities of America’s current geopolitical predicament were muffled under his questionable mantra that “no new wars” were prosecuted when he was in office.
Buffing Trump’s everything-to-everyone shtick were a series of former left-wing anti-war influencers, such as Jimmy Dore, Dave Smith, and Tulsi Gabbard, who have in recent years hitched themselves to the MAGA wagon, citing the movements supposed non-interventionism as their reason. Perhaps Trump’s most audacious deception was his campaign’s outreach to the Arab community, led by the gay Zionist Ric Grennell, which successfully capitalized on their anger over Israel’s rampage in Gaza and Lebanon.
Voters who took a chance on Trump are instantly expressing buyer’s remorse before he’s even been sworn in. The 47th president’s new foreign policy team is composed of a rogue’s gallery of Washington’s most ardent and bloodthirsty neo-conservative Zionists. Figures such as Marco Rubio, Mike Walz, Elise Stefanik, Pete Hegseth, Mike Huckabee and Brian Hook have well-documented views on Iran, Russia and China that are arguably more bellicose and loudly unhinged than even the infamous Bush administration.

Shifting The Blame For Israeli Barbarism To White Christians
There’s no question that the world is experiencing a wave of anti-Semitism not seen since the 1930s. Outrage over the Jewish state’s almost unprecedented atrocities — livestreamed in gruesome detail to billions of phones and computers around the world — has spurred a visceral universal disgust towards the Jewish people that transcends traditional left-right, racial, and religious divides.
These feelings of indignation have escaped the Middle East and touched the Jewish diaspora, which overwhelmingly supports Israel despite generally operating as the spear tip of liberal and progressive causes in Western nations.
The war transpiring under a Democratic administration and the steep reputational price the American empire has been willing to pay to let Israel operate without any red lines has discredited theories by left-wing figures such as Noam Chomsky that Israel is an attack dog of US imperialism politically bolstered by Evangelical Christian Republican voters, rather than Jewish billionaire money. Polarized Trump fans, who are assumed to be Israel’s natural Gentile support base in America, have not been eager to rally behind Joe Biden on this issue.
[…]
Trump’s new administration is conspicuously free of Jews, [ED Note – except for Trump’s son-in-law Jared Juhner] yet these personalities have well-earned reputations of being paid off stooges for AIPAC who specializing in following instructions written for them by the Jewish lobby, as Trump himself once stressed about his new Secretary of State Rubio. These nominees were personally selected by Jewish billionaire Howard Lutnick, a little-known figure who has largely lingered in the shadows in Trumpworld. Lutnick is candid about his sole priority in Trump’s orbit: securing the geopolitical interests of Israel.
Familiar Fox News performers like Pete Hegseth, appointed to lead the Pentagon, are well-known promoters of Evangelical Zionism. Hegseth has claimed to adhere to the bizarre “third temple prophecy,” which calls for the destruction of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem. Hegseth’s record of making wild and horrific threats towards foreign nations are too many to cite, such as his televised appeal for the United States to bomb Iranian cultural sites.
Former Governor Mike Huckabee, Trump’s nominee for ambassador to Israel, is another unusual choice. Huckabee will be the first non-Jewish person politically appointed to fill this role since the Nixon administration.

One of the biggest surprises of the past four years was the Saudi-Iranian peace deal brokered by China in 2023. This diplomatic breakthrough has largely ended the Sunni-Shia sectarian warfare that has killed millions and plagued the Middle East for decades, as well as helped derail the first Trump administration’s project to create a Gulf Arab military alliance to contain Iran on Israel’s behalf.
This detente has rapidly evolved into what looks like the beginning of an alliance. In recent days, Saudi Arabia has publicly accused Israel of genocide, condemned Israeli bombing of Lebanon, and increased its military cooperation with Iran.

The new president’s Middle East envoy, Jewish real estate mogul Steve Witkoff, has no diplomatic or political experience. One Times of Israel profile describes Witkoff as a “conduit to the Jewish business community,” suggesting that Trump’s team may be reduced to an offer to bribe the Saudi royals into formalizing ties with Israel. Hideously corrupt displays, such as the multi-billion dollar Saudi real estate deal previously brokered by Abraham Accords point man Jared Kushner, serve as a precedent for what Trump and Witkoff have in store.

It is unlikely the Saudis will consider Trump’s offer to become Israel’s Muslim bodyguard without significant security guarantees, massive weapon’s transfers, and a US provided nuclear program. The prospect of handing a regime that has previously funded terrorist groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda the infrastructure to build nuclear weapons is alarming, but the Trump administration has previously shown willingness to throw caution to the wind and began moving in this very direction in 2019.
Russia and the Ukraine War
Trump has stated on the campaign trail that he would immediately bring an end to the Ukraine war once in office, without elaborating further.
Trump’s foreign affairs team is composed of some of the most hardline anti-Russian politicians in America, which has soothed some of the concerns from Ukraine’s liberal establishment.
What will transpire is not clear. Trump insiders are concerned with Russia’s growing support for Iran, which has caught Washington and Israel off balance and spurred discussion of giving Russia whatever it wants in Ukraine in order to pry them out of the Middle East.
One Trump peace plan leaked to the media would grant Russia much of its territorial demands, defer Ukrainian membership in NATO, and establish a demilitarized zone patrolled by European NATO forces.
The plan is absurd. Vladimir Putin’s stated reason for entering the Ukraine, aside from the oppression of ethnic Russians in the country’s east, is that he does not want NATO forces on his border. At best, Putin will insist on a neutral United Nations peacekeeping force on the border, if that.
Furthermore, Trump’s plan to force Germany and the European Union to finance the estimated $486 billion reconstruction of Ukraine would be tantamount to looting a Europe barely staving off economic catastrophe as is.
A more plausible scenario is that the Trump administration will kick domestic energy production into overdrive in hopes of tanking global oil prices, which would harm the Russian (and Iranian and Venezuelan) economy. But this ambitious plan is not as feasible as it sounds. A war on oil prices would likely require the Saudis to ramp up oil production — a mission Biden failed to accomplish.
Another scenario is that Trump will try to force the Russians into negotiating before all their objectives are achieved by providing Ukraine with long range weapons that can strike within Russian territory. The Ukrainian military, which is suffering massive desertion, a high median age, and manpower problems, has come under increasing pressure from American politicians to lower its conscription age to 18, something the Trump administration could persuade Kiev to agree to in exchange for weapons that can hit Moscow. Such a stunt would is within Trump’s arsenal of bad ideas, but in practice would amount to pouring gasoline on a fire and triggering an unpredictable response.
Judging from his public statement’s, Trump wants to bluff the Russians with the threat of nuclear weapons. It is doubtful that this will work, as Putin has already stated a willingness to use his own.
A full Ukrainian capitulation is also on the table. Russia has been aiding Iran’s space program, which Israeli intelligence believes is a cover for Iran’s Russian-advised ICBM program. Ultimately, Russia can bring Washington to its knees by providing or threatening to provide high tech weapons transfers to Iran that could shift the Middle Eastern strategic edge in the Islamic Republic’s favor.
Indo-Pacific
Trump’s new cabinet will include some of the fiercest China hawks in the country, but the fundamentals may restrain them.
The trade war mounted by the Trump administration during his first term caught Beijing off-guard, but since this provocation the Chinese government has reduced its reliance on exports to the United States through its “dual circulation” program, as well as started retaliating against American companies.
It remains to be seen if Trump will make good on his promise to place tariffs on all imported goods. Wall Street analysts believe Trump wasn’t serious about this proposal. Under such a scenario, America’s weak industrial base will struggle to replace tariffed imports and prices for many goods, both basic and technical, would soar.
An emergent challenge for America’s project in Asia is the resolution of the long-standing Indian-Chinese border dispute last month. China’s unexpected diplomatic breakthrough with India is a setback to “The Quad” — an attempt to unite Japan, Australia and India in a NATO-like anti-China military alliance.
Trump’s National Security Adviser Mike Walz, who is uniquely situated as both a “China hawk” as well as a member of the House India Caucus, will undoubtedly seek to use his abilities to try and reignite tensions between the two nuclear powers.
On Taiwan, president-elect Trump is already in talks with the Taiwanese government to sell them $15 billion dollars in American weapons. This shocking deal, if successful, could heighten the possibility of a war in the South China Sea.
Middle East
Trump’s stated foreign policy priority is the defense and advancement of Israeli interests.
[…]
The likelihood of American involvement in a conventional war are highest in the Middle East. Trump’s former national security adviser, John Bolton, a bellicose Zionist in his own right, has taken to the media to warn that the new president will be completely unrestrained on Iran in his second term. Former Trump cabinet officials have gone public with accusations that the president sought to directly attack Iran during his term’s lame duck session but was narrowly prevented from doing so by his advisors.
Experts believe Trump will first seek to soften the Iranian regime up by bringing back his maximum pressure sanctions to collapse the Islamic Republic’s economy. John Ratcliffe, Trump’s new CIA director, is singularly fixated on regime change in Iran. Ratcliffe will use every intelligence tool at his disposal to foment civil war and terrorist attacks within Iranian territory in hopes of overthrowing the Iranian state.
A potential counterweight is the fact that the landscape in 2024 is not the same as the one in 2016. If left without diplomatic recourse, Iran is expected to build and publicly test a nuclear weapon and get Chinese and Russian diplomatic cover to do so. While there is a chance to reduce Russian support for Iran in exchange for massive concessions on Ukraine, China has emerged as an important Iranian ally. Meeting Iran’s pro-American president Masoud Pezeshkian half-way and brokering a new nuclear agreement with the intent of pulling Iran away from Russia to destroy them later would be the prudent Zionist foreign policy approach, but the general thrust of Trump’s new administration does not seem to value patience.
In Gaza, Trump’s circle of advisors support the full expulsion of the Palestinian population and the annexation of both Gaza and the West Bank. Where these ethnically cleansed Palestinians will go remains a mystery, as Arab countries have already resisted attempts by the Biden administration and international finance to resettle them in their nations. Israeli officials have previously called on Palestinians to be expelled to Europe. Would a reckless, single-issue Trump administration consider it?

Evidence Points to Voter Fraud in 2024 Wisconsin Senate Race
Ethan Huff(Natural News)—In the late-night hours of November 6 while most of the country was asleep, a “huge and improbable Dem vote dump,” to quote the “Shylock Holmes” (@shylockh) X / Twitter account that dropped the news, resulted in the Wisconsin Senate race being handed to Democrat Tammy Baldwin instead of Republican Eric Hovde.
Two counties in particular, Dane and Winnebago, saw oddly improved Democratic vote counts at numerous points during the count. Every time the GOP started to pull ahead in the race, the Democrat vote spikes became observably more “extreme” to offset it.
Also, in Milwaukee at 3:31am, there was a single count update of 109,000 votes, 83 percent of which favored Democrats. That vote count dump ultimately flipped the outcome of the race from Hovde to Baldwin.
“This vote batch is improbable on several dimensions,” Shylock Holmes tweeted.
It is late at nightIt differs from the 67% Dem vote share beforehandIt is 25% of all Senate votes cast in MilwaukeeIt is a considerable fraction (3.2%) of votes in the overall raceThe race was close beforehand (49.1% Dem vote share)It flipped the outcome of the race”Rigging the vote to “win”As you can see from the above chart, the red and blue spikes from the 3:31am vote count dump looks oddly similar to the one that was widely published after the contentious 2020 election, which was similarly rigged to favor certain candidates.
There were no other areas in Wisconsin where any similar types of vote count dumps occurred that resulted in the race being flipped. Clearly something is amiss.
“While each property has innocent explanations, the combination is highly unlikely,” Shylock Holmes says.
“Only 8 updates are as extreme on the first 5 traits (including the Milwaukee President race). The Milwaukee Senate is the only update out of 46,489 that also flipped the outcome of the race.”
To clarify this point further, imagine flipping a coin 24 times and getting heads 22 of those 24 times. Also imagine along with that having the coin flip to heads 14 times in a row. This is how the vote count for the Wisconsin Senate race went in Milwaukee on Election Day.
Even with the vote count dump, the GOP ended up pulling ahead in the national race, at least, bringing a victory for Donald Trump in the traditionally “blue” state. For Hovde, though, his seat will now be held by Baldwin due to the fiasco.
The X / Twitter thread explains much more in-depth how all of the calculations were made to determine that things simply do not add up in Milwaukee. Take a look at it if heavy math interests you.
“I want to know what it will take for the Republican Party to purchase ballot images, cast vote records, absentee records, and voter registration lists in Wisconsin,” wrote commenter “Dave” from Dave’s Substack, suggesting an idea as to how this all might be remedied with proactive efforts such as these.
“There are ways to do a deeper investigation into an anomaly like this, but it requires resources. People like you and me don’t have those resources, but the Republican Party does.”
