This moron is in charge of the Department of Homeland Security. Any senator who voted for Mayorkas, can’t possibly object to Kristi Noem as the head of DHS.

A record 23 of NATO’s 32 member nations are hitting the Western military alliance’s defense spending target this year, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday, as Russia’s war in Ukraine has raised the threat of expanding conflict in Europe.
Trump doesn’t get enough credit for calling bullshit on NATO. In 2016, Trump made it clear that if member countries didn’t spend 2% of GDP for defense, the US may not be as supportive. The corporate media, progressives and anti-Trumpers cried about his incivility and lack of decorum.
Time Magazine chose Donald Trump as the 2024 Person of the Year. Time explains that they choose the most consequential person, not their favorite person. For people who aren’t a fan of Donald Trump, note that Hitler and Putin have also been featured.
Mysterious drones over New Jersey
More than three weeks after dozens of mysterious drones began popping up in the New Jersey night sky, the public has still been offered no clear insight on what the phenomenon could be.
This is a huge story that reveals that corporate media and the federal government have failed. Finding the whole story is difficult, so I’ll pull from a few reports.
College Fix: Race-based programs at Ohio law schools
Five public law schools in Ohio are ending their scholarships and programs based on race following a conservative think tank’s investigation.
The Buckeye Institute, based in Columbus, Ohio, launched the investigation this year into five law schools at Ohio State University, Cleveland State University, University of Akron, University of Cincinnati, and University of Toledo.
Mary and I visited the Notre Dame cathedral in 1991, back when you could still do fun stuff like hang from the clapper of a giant bell.
ABC News: Biden pardons Hunter
This morning, when there were rumors that Biden might pardon Hunter, I felt that would be fine. I had hoped that Biden would speak frankly and honestly, but assumed he’d issue a statement similar to what is linked here.
A good friend called “bullshit” on my suggestion that the 2020 election was shady.
This article is interesting because the numbers aren’t what I’d have guessed. The graph lumps press conferences in with interviews, but the article provides more detail.
Biden hid from the press, but I wouldn’t have guessed that Reagan wasn’t out there more.
I got on this track because, “The White House press corps is already “exhausted” at the outset of the second Trump administration.”
It’s never appealing to hear people complaining about their jobs, but it is appalling to hear grumbling from the White House press corps.
Being a part of the White House press corps is, I understood, a prestigious position for a journalist. They really aren’t going to like it when bloggers and social media influencers are given press passes.
The White House press corps was derelict in their duty to inform Americans about President Biden’s frailty and deteriorating mental health. They should be ashamed.
In an alternate time-line, the corporate press would have reported on Biden’s condition, Dr. Jill would not have insisted upon a second term, the Democratic Party would have held a legitimate primary, the world would not have learned that Kamala Harris was dumb and unprepared, nobody outside of Minnesota would be familiar with Tim Walz and some other Democrat would have run for president against Trump.
The election result may have been the same, but it wouldn’t be as embarrassing for the Democratic Party.
