Highlights of the News

Race Bannon is still our vice president.

ITEM 1: The Department of Justice announced "it filed a lawsuit against Facebook Inc. for discriminating against U.S. workers. 

"The lawsuit alleges that Facebook refused to recruit, consider, or hire qualified and available U.S. workers for over 2,600 positions that Facebook, instead, reserved for temporary visa holders it sponsored for permanent work authorization (or green cards) in connection with the permanent labor certification process (PERM). The positions that were the subject of Facebook’s alleged discrimination against U.S. workers offered an average salary of approximately $156,000. According to the lawsuit, and based on the department’s nearly two-year investigation, Facebook intentionally created a hiring system in which it denied qualified U.S. workers a fair opportunity to learn about and apply for jobs that Facebook instead sought to channel to temporary visa holders Facebook wanted to sponsor for green cards."

The law bans discrimination based on nationality.

That includes discrimination against Americans.

This raises a huge question: Why do we allow foreign nationals to censor Facebook?

ITEM 2: Dan Bongino's site reported, "Weekly jobless claims came in last week at their lowest pace since the start of the pandemic, and below expectations.

"According to CNBC, the Department of Labor reported first-time claims for unemployment benefits of 712,000 last week, compared to expectations of 780,000. The week prior there were 787,000 filers. Continuing claims fell to 5.52 million.

"This brings the weekly total to the lowest point of the pandemic, but they still remain three times higher than pre-pandemic levels. Claims have not yet fallen below 700,000 during any week of the pandemic."

November unemployment figures come out today. Unemployment dropped like a rock from 14.7% in April to 6.9% in October, the best rebound ever.

ITEM 3: Conservative Patriot reported, "A federal appeals court in Georgia has approved an expedited review of pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell’s request for a forensic review of voting machines in three counties.

"Powell filed a lawsuit last week alleging that Dominion Election Systems voting machines used in the 2020 election in Georgia are insecure and allow foreign agents to meddle in the U.S. election. U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr. issued an order on Sunday restricting officials in Georgia’s Cherokee, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties from resetting Dominion Election Systems voting machines because of the lawsuit."

The corruption is so open and obvious that we know Obama and company believe they can rub our noses in it without penalty.

They may be right.

ITEM 4: Western Journal reported, "The United States reportedly has imposed major travel restrictions on members of China’s Communist Party.

"Party members and their families are now banned from remaining in the U.S. for more than a month, according to The New York Times, which said a State Department spokesman confirmed the change.

"Until the new rule was imposed Wednesday, party members could obtain visas for 10 years, the report said.

"Travel visas are also being limited to a single entry rather than multiple entries.

"In practice, the new rule is likely to be applied differently at different levels of party membership, recognizing the fact that for many Chinese academics, researchers and citizens, party membership is an essential part of moving up into a better-paying career, The Times said."

Yuge, if true.

NYT report so there is a chance parts of it are accurate.

ITEM 5: Just the News reported, "President Trump's lawyers shared dramatic video footage during a hearing Thursday at the Georgia legislature that they say depicts mysterious briefcases full of ballots being counted in the state after most election workers had been sent home for the night. 

"The footage was shown during a hearing of the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, at which the president's legal team presented its argument that the announced results of the 2020 presidential race in the state are undermined by rampant election fraud.

"Jackie Pick, a lawyer volunteering with Trump's team, presented the video, allegedly from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, which purportedly shows the tabulation of ballots on Nov. 3, election night."

I notice that many of these election counts were held in big-city arenas.

That's an appropriate place for these circuses. 

ITEM 6: CNBC reported, "Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the latest tech company to shift its focus away from Silicon Valley, announcing Tuesday that it will relocate its headquarters from San Jose, California, to Houston, Texas."

Kinfolk said move away from here.

Said California is no place to be.

So Hewlett loaded up the Packard and moved the Big T.

Texas, that is. No income tax. Fewer regulations.

(Alternative ending: "Houston? We have no problem.")

ITEM 7: PJ Media reported, "Trump Legal Team: We Have 'So Much Evidence' of Fraud in Nevada 'We Had to Rent a Separate Car.'"

Break out the accordion.

Someone stole Nevada.

Someone stole Nevada.

Who stole Nevada

From the ballot box?

Who stole Nevada?

Who stole Nevada?

Who stole Nevada?

Someone call the cops!

Two carloads of evidence, but hey, it is not enough to overturn the election result.

If it wasn't enough to overturn the election, then why did Democrats do it? To keep in practice?

ITEM 8: The Department of Justice announced "the completion of the third annual Money Mule Initiative, a coordinated operation to disrupt the networks through which transnational fraudsters move the proceeds of their crimes. Money mules are individuals who assist fraudsters by receiving money from victims of fraud and forwarding it to the fraud organizers, many of whom are located abroad.  Some money mules know they are assisting fraudsters, but others are unaware that their actions enable fraudsters’ efforts to swindle money from consumers, businesses, and government unemployment funds. Europol announced a simultaneous effort, the European Money Mule Action today.

"Over the last two months, U.S. law enforcement agencies took action against over 2,300 money mules, far surpassing last year’s effort, which acted against over 600 money mules. This year, actions occurred in every state in the country. The initiative announced today targeted money mules involved in a wide range of schemes including lottery fraud, romance scams, government impostor fraud, technical support fraud, business email compromise or CEO fraud, and unemployment insurance fraud.  Many of these schemes target elderly or vulnerable members of society."

Third annual.

That means this crackdown was all on President Trump's watch.

You can see why the swamp wants him out.

ITEM 9: PJ Media reported, "Oregon Gave Antifa Your CARES Act Covid Relief Tax Dollars During the Riots. Wait, It Gets Worse."

The story said, "The group’s Twitter account started in June of 2020, when it came out of the shadows to conveniently become a 501c3 charitable group.  The Twitter account has been dormant since September 12, when the riots were smoked out by wildfires in the metro area. But they got their U.S. taxpayer money."

Once upon a time, this would be treated as news.

But except for a few blogs, we have no news media in America, just Democrat talking points. Profits are bigger.

ITEM 10: The New York Post reported, "New Jersey rattled by 2.1 magnitude earthquake."

Really?

They were rattled?

You can barely feel a 2.1 earthquake. It does no damage and the world has a million of them every year.

Is New Jersey filled with snowflakes?

ITEM 11: The San Francisco Chronicle reported, "Nathan Ballard, a high-profile Democratic strategist and adviser to Gov. Gavin Newsom, was charged with two felony counts of domestic violence after his wife alleged he pushed her into a glass door and attempted to suffocate their 4-year-old daughter with a pillow, Napa County officials said.

"The alleged incident occurred on Oct. 17 during a family weekend getaway at the Carneros Resort and Spa. Ballard’s wife, Mara, reported the episode the next day. Nathan Ballard, 51, declined to make a statement to investigators and was placed under arrest on Oct. 20, according to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office.

"He was released on $75,000 bail."

They went on vacation?

I thought California was on a lockdown.

And this news took nearly 2 months to reach the press. Why was he not immediately suspended?

I forgot.

He's a Democrat.

ITEM 12: Leslie Eastman reported, "Officials in San Francisco have banned renters from smoking tobacco in their apartments. However, smoking a marijuana joint inside rental units is perfectly fine."

It is one of the town's many, many regulations.

But it is solving the problem of "housing affordability" as it helps drive rents down.

To be honest, if I owned an apartment building, I might ban smoking but that is just the thing. I would decide. And if there were a market for it, I would allow smoking and jack up the rents.

By the way, if smoking is so evil, why does government profit from it through taxes?

ITEM 13: The Associated Press reported, "School closings threaten gains of students with disabilities."

The story told the tale of one boy and then said, "The same frustrations are shared by many of the nation’s 7 million students with disabilities — a group representing 14% of American schoolchildren. Advocates for these students say the extended months of learning from home and erratic attempts to reopen schools are deepening a crisis that began with the switch to distance learning in March."

Suicides are up.

Undetected cancer cases are up.

We are killing ourselves to avoid a virus that kills less than 1% of its victims.

ITEM 14: Politico reported, "Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday told a private gathering of political donors and corporate executives that he has urged President Donald Trump to fight on to overturn November’s election results.

"In wide-ranging remarks made in person behind closed doors at a meeting of the Associated Industries of Florida, DeSantis dismissed the risks of the corona virus, contradicted science and targeted U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. He also defended Trump's attempt to fight the results of the election."

Contradicted science?

Dr. Fauci said in February masks are useless.

And computer scientists say the election was rigged.

ITEM 15: Via Ed Driscoll, "Politician named Adolf Hitler wins election in Namibia."

His critics immediately started calling him another Donald Trump.

ITEM 16: Politico reported, "Teachers should be near the front of the line for access to a coronavirus vaccine, according to unions, school officials and state lawmakers who say educators’ immunity is key to safely reopening schools for in-person classes.

"Giving educators their turn, just after the first wave of vaccines goes to health care workers and nursing home residents, would help schools get more students back in physical classrooms, said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, which also represents health care workers."

Why when so many schools are shut down?

Vaccinate the grocery store clerks and McDonald's workers first because they come in contact with many, many more people.

ITEM 17: Just the News reported, "New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is again lighting up social media – this time by online fundraising with some some spendy, progressive-minded merchandise – including shirts that read 'Abolish ICE,' ''Drink water & don't be racist' and another with a line through the words student debt.

"The second-term congresswoman and progressive sage also appears to be trying – successfully – to thread the political needle with a sweatshirt that reads 'Tax the Rich' but costs upwards of $50. The sweatshirt had a price drop Thursday, from $65 to $58, sold out. Shirts cost upward of $27."

Good for her.

Che and his heirs never received a dime from all those T-shirts.

Making money by peddling communism is the American Way.

ITEM 18: The New York Post reported, "An award-winning pilot pulled off a textbook emergency landing on a Minnesota interstate Wednesday night.

"Nobody was injured when Craig Gifford, 52, a member of the US aerobatics flying team, struck a vehicle after landing the single-engine Bellanca Viking plane on the highway outside in a suburb of St. Paul, Fox 9 reported.

"Shocking footage released by the Minnesota Department of Transportation shows the plane, with two people on board, landing in the middle lane of the highway ahead of two vehicles."

I wonder if the drivers soiled themselves.

Awesome.

ITEM 19: Erie County (New York) Comptroller Stefan I. Mychajliw Jr. tweeted, "I blocked the Health Dept. from collecting, cashing or depositing covid fines. Charter gives me this authority. All fines come to my office. I set up a flexible payment plan. Fine of $1,000 or less: 20-years to pay. More than $15,000 fine:100 years to pay."

A dollar down, and a dollar a week.

FINALLY, the election reform we need.

From Iraq.
