A truly WTF moment...
Biden is presenting the Presidential medal of freedom to George Soros, one of the most evil men in the country.

Soros funded BLM, who burned private businesses to the ground.

Soros-funded D.A. Alvin Bragg.

Soros funded DA Larry Krasner who let murderers walk and didn’t prosecute a single BLM rioter.

General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia's Chemical and Biological Defense Forces previously accused the Biden administration and George Soros of funding biolabs in Ukraine.

Then he was assassinated in Moscow, Russia.

Soros funded the protests against America and Israel… and the pro-h@mas rioters shut down education and interfered with the graduations of students.

Soros gave $700K to pro-h@mas protestors.

Deborah Gonzalez, a District Attorney in Georgia's Western Judicial Circuit, recused herself from prosecuting the alleged killer of Laken Riley. She was funded by Soros.

The Brookings Institution, an entity substantially funded by Big Tech and Soros, requested an increase in censorship in the wake of the 2024 election.

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner claimed that Musk’s move to do giveaways was “election interference” and began a lawsuit against him. He was funded by Soros.

Soros is a top funder of a group that has coordinated with lawmakers this Congress to push back on House GOP-led investigations.

Soro’s Open Society Action Fund donated $1 million in 2023 to the Congressional Integrity Project, a group that received nearly all of its war chest in prior years from the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Democratic dark money organization in Washington, D.C. The grants were earmarked “to support nonpartisan advocacy on congressional accountability,” according to the funding database for the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations philanthropy network.

DA Mike Schmidt declined to pursue a case against a Portland Antifa member who made a threat to kill Andy Ngo. He is funded by Soros.

I know I have shared this info before, but it is especially relevant today.

This is who is being celebrated. I cannot wait for this to end. Don’t even get me started with Hillary Clinton.

 

[pigfarmer]

Agreed. When I think about things like that I shove my wallet into my mouth to keep me from swallerin' my tongue

 

[pigfarmer]

A retired cop who was a neighbor until recently told me about this. This is one of the many results of Soros' philanthropy. Hell, maybe they should've given him two of the damned things ........

That's the largest police department in the country and I would not doubt that's reflected in many others. SO not only have they let in umpteen million people without any vetting whatsoever there will be fewer first responder to deal with the inevitable.

NYC blues: The number of potential NYPD cops plummets

Biden Awards Presidential Medal Of Freedom To Skeletor

Biden Awards Presidential Medal Of Freedom To Skeletor
Politics·Jan 4, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a surprise move, President Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Skeletor, longtime archnemesis of He-Man.

Biden awarded Skeletor the medal for his outstanding efforts to conquer Eternia and become the singular Master of the Universe.
"I can think of no one more deserving than Skeletor," said Biden in a statement. "For all he has done to seek vengeance on King Randor, and for his continued efforts subjugating people through fear to gain unlimited power, we owe Skeletor a debt of gratitude. With this medal, we recognize Skeletor's great contribution to America, and to the entire universe."

According to those present, Skeletor's medal presentation came just after Earvin "Magic" Johnson and before Hilary Clinton. "Wow, what an honor," said Skeletor. "Sometimes, after spending year after year being a supervillain and trying to conquer the universe, you start to wonder if anyone really appreciates the work you do. Thank you, Joe Biden, for making me feel seen. I can't wait to crush all of you with my Havoc Staff."

At publishing time, Biden had announced that he had planned to give a 20th medal to the Sauron, but the Dark Lord was unfortunately unable to take physical form at this time.

Canada’s Trudeau announces resignation following party pressure amid criticisms of Trump, budget handling​

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he intends to resign as party leader and prime minister after pressure from within his own Liberal Party increasingly grew amid heightened criticisms over his handling of the economy and threats levied by President-elect Donald Trump. He said he will resign once the party selects a new leader.

"I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust nationwide competitive process," Trudeau told reporters. "Last night, I asked the president of the Liberal Party to begin that process. This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it is become clear to me that if I'm having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election."

"As you all know, I am fighter and I'm not someone who backs away from a fight. Particularly when the fight is as important as this one is. But I have always been driven by my love for Canada, by my desire to serve Canadians, and by what is in the best interests of Canadians and Canadians deserve a real choice in the next election," Trudeau added. "And it has become obvious to me with,, the internal battles that I cannot be the one to carry the liberal standard into the next election."

Trudeau, who led the nation for nearly a decade, has been grappling for months with significant drops in his approval ratings over mounting frustration relating to issues like the soaring cost of living and rising inflation.

Though there was no official path for his party to boot him from the top job, the now nearly-former prime minister faced either the threat of a Parliamentary vote of no confidence, or a lengthy fight to hold on to his position until the October 2025 elections – either option was expected to see a crushing end to Trudeau’s time in office.

Biden admin trying to ban cigarettes just weeks before Trump takes office​

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving forward with a regulatory rule in the final days of the Biden administration that would effectively ban cigarettes currently on the market in favor of products with lower nicotine levels, which could end up boosting business for cartels operating on the black market, an expert tells Fox News Digital.

"Biden's ban is a gift with a bow and balloons to organized crime cartels with it, whether it's cartels, Chinese organized crime, or Russian mafia. It's going to keep America smoking, and it's going to make the streets more violent," Rich Marianos, former assistant director of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the current chair of the Tobacco Law Enforcement Network, told Fox News Digital of the proposal.

The FDA confirmed to Fox Digital on Monday that as of Jan. 3, the Tobacco Product Standard for Nicotine Level of Certain Tobacco Products had completed a regulatory review, but that the proposed rule has not yet been finalized.

"The proposed rule, ‘Tobacco Product Standard for Nicotine Level of Certain Tobacco Products,’ is displaying in the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) ROCIS system as having completed regulatory review on January 3," an FDA spokesman told Fox Digital. "As the FDA has previously said, a proposed product standard to establish a maximum nicotine level to reduce the addictiveness of cigarettes and certain other combusted tobacco products, when finalized, is estimated to be among the most impactful population-level actions in the history of U.S. tobacco product regulation. At this time, the FDA cannot provide any further comment until it is published."

Hence the interest in Greenland. This isn't new, it's been bandied about for some time but now is in the news cycle

A Future War is Brewing in the Arctic. This is How We Stop It Before it Starts.

Normally I take this Murdoch paper with a grain of salt. I like it but know that like everything else you can't immediately take anything at face value.

I didn't read the article. I did try to find this video as a standalone and unsurprisingly, I couldn't. It is less than a minute but read what the PM of Greenland has to say directly. No doubt Denmark is justifiably pissed.
Greenland leaders ready to talk with Trump after prez-elect expressed interest to make territory part of America

Denmark was a bit late to the party in terms of defense spending in the past few years but they are at the NATO table now and are quite capable, they are/would be difficult customers to tangle with. If you were a Greenlander and your only concern was defense which would you pick ?

I thought so. This will be interesting.

Wouldn't it be better to give the Military Industrial Complex something to fuss with than another war? Maybe they'd like Puerto Rico on exchange? Nicer weather, if you can afford the constant demand for money for the same things over and over.

The talks Greenland wishes to convene are concerning the natural resources the Greenland territory and its surrounding waters are very rich with...Greenland has made it clear they do not want to become a part of the USA...

...

 

[pigfarmer]

Agreed, which is what their PM was talking about in that video. I don't think the intent is making them American citizens, I think that's a taunt aimed at Trudeau that's being applied incorrectly here. Then again, who knows what DT might actually blurt out.

Jubilation in DC as beaming Trump and Melania make triumphant return to the capital... while over at the Vice President-elect's glitzy dinner America's second couple in waiting share a passionate PDA​

Trump marked his return to power with a celebration at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, about 30 miles outside Washington. In addition to the First Couple, many of the major players in the Trump orbit were in attendance, including daughter and former senior advisor Ivanka, who was alongside her husband, Jared Kushner. All of Trump's adult children and their partners were in attendance, with Don Jr. alongside his controversial new beau Bettina Anderson, while Tiffany was there with husband Michael Boulos.

Biden's final humiliation: Most Americans can't name one success and will remember him for doing 'nothing'​

It is the one question that unites Americans when it comes to President Joe Biden. Ask Democrats, Republicans or independents for their one-word summary of his legacy and they put aside their differences to answer almost unanimously: Nothing. Those are the extraordinary results of an exclusive poll conducted for DailyMail.com by J.L. Partners.

Some 1,009 registered voters were asked for their brief description of the legacy of Biden, who leaves the White House on Monday at the age of 82 after four turbulent years. When the results are arranged in a word cloud, the most common answer sticks out at the center. The next most popular answers are economy, inflation, and infrastructure, in a more encouraging nod to one of his landmark pieces of legislation.

Yet the same word, 'nothing' stands out when the responses are split by political persuasion. For Democrats, the memory is softened by other words such as 'good,' 'stability,' and 'better.' But as Biden prepares for a life outside politics for the first time in half a century and plans for a presidential library and other elements of his legacy, it suggests at least the first draft of history is unlikely to be kind to him.

And there is worse in other parts of the poll. When voters were asked whether they can remember a single Biden achievement, more than half say they cannot. Some 37 percent say they 'strongly' agree with the statement that they cannot name a single one.

Even Democrats struggle. More than a third said they could not name a single achievement. The results echo an earlier poll, which found that voters ranked Biden as the least successful of recent president.

Vivek Ramaswamy Plans Ohio Governor Run—But Won’t Immediately Quit DOGE​

Billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, former Republican presidential candidate and co-leader with Elon Musk of Donald Trump's planned Department of Government Efficiency, is gearing up to announce he'll run to replace Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, multiple outlets reported Friday, after he was passed over to replace Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate.

Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur Forbes estimates is worth over $1 billion, will run to replace two-time governor DeWine, who cannot seek a third term under Ohio law, but does not plan to immediately leave his role within Trump's administration, The New York Times reported citing anonymous sources.

The governor's seat doesn't open until 2026, and before turning his attention to a campaign, Ramaswamy plans to work alongside Musk at DOGE, which Trump in November said will lead “large scale structural reform” within the federal government. Ramaswamy was one of the names floated as a potential replacement for Vance in the Senate, but DeWine on Friday instead selected Lt. Gov. Jon Husted for the position. Ramaswamy, an Ohio native born in Cincinnati to Indian immigrant parents, has never held public office.

Biden preemtive pardons Fauci, Liz Cheney, Mark Milley and members of the January 6 committee​

Joe Biden sparked fury Monday morning by using his final moments as president to pardon Donald Trump's nemesis Dr. Anthony Fauci. The president issued his anticipated preemptive pardons just hours before leaving office. The pardons include others Biden and Democrats believe President-elect Trump will target in his second go around in Washington, D.C.

It encompasses all nine members of the House Select Committee on the January 6 Capitol Attack, which includes Trump rival and former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney and the panel's chairman Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson. He also is protecting former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, another foe of Trump's and Fauci, who served as White House Coronavirus Task Force leader.

Trump's base blames Fauci for the proliferation of COVID-19 restrictions, including social distancing, mask wearing and later vaccine requirements. Many were vying for a pardon from Biden in anticipation of being politically persecuted by leadership at Trump's incoming Department of Justice.

Donald Trump takes back the White House with more power, preparation, popularity and the most formidable people by his side​

When Donald Trump (middle with wife Melania), the nation's 45th president, is sworn in as the nation's 47 president he will be at the peak of his powers. He is surrounded by a steely team of loyalists, built from the strategists who stuck with him after election defeat and two years in the wilderness, and he has won over the media proprietors and Silicon Valley lords (Elon Musk, Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos pictured right) who clashed with him during his first administration. He survived a bullet to his ear, four criminal cases and a felony conviction, to become the first Republican in 20 years to win a bigger share of the popular vote than his opponent.
