Anyone in contact with Scot Priesler–let him know Gov J. Shapiro was quiet for about 2 days after Dems ignored PA Supreme Court demanded no counting of incorrect ballots. Scot said he’d try to have 2 Dems voted out. Do same with Gov Shapiro. He knew what was going on. Shapiro doesnt deserve to be re-elected or run for President.

Another positive about the return of Pres Trump: No more Amos Hochstein. A killer of pipelines and success everywhere he goes. Drained the SPR for politics. WashPost called him Biden’s energy whisperer.

Republicans DON’T want you.

Michael Avenatti says he’d be a ‘fool’ to count on Trump pardon — and is considering becoming a Republican:
comment image

Imprisoned attorney Michael Avenatti made headlines earlier this year when the one-time fierce foe of Donald Trump expressed sympathy for the former president amid his myriad criminal charges, with observers guessing he was fishing for a pardon should Trump return to the White House.

Yet now that Trump is president-elect, Avenatti told Fox News Digital from his California prison that he’d be a “fool” to count on that.

“If the president was so inclined, he could show some empathy and reduce my sentence or commute some of the charges,” Avenatti said in a phone interview. “I’m not holding out for that. He’s got a lot of other things on his mind right now. Perhaps someday, he may show some empathy towards me, or he may not. But I think I would be a fool to count on that at this point. And, for that reason, I’m just trying to do what I need to do and stay close to my family and my faith at this point…”

Washington [Com]Post columnist Jennifer Rubin blasted for ‘deranged’ rant claiming Republicans ‘want to kill your kids’:
comment image

Washington [Com}Post columnist Jennifer Rubin has been eviscerated over her “deranged” rant about President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks — in which she wildly claims that Republicans “want to kill your kids…”

…“She should be fired over this if there’s any sanity left in the world,” conservative activist Robby Starbuck wrote on X, tagging Washington [Com]Post’s billionaire owner Jeff Bezos.

“In my opinion … this Jennifer Rubin woman sounds like a deranged nut case,” seethed another critic.“Why the hell would your paper give her an outlet for her literal disgusting rants? It’s people like her that reinforce to the people of the world that your legacy media outlets can’t be trusted.”

Awww, what a shame, get out my small violin for this narcissistic psychopath.

Killer mom Susan Smith denied parole after she sobbed, begged to be let out — but still refused to accept responsibility for all her crimes:

comment image

Killer mom Susan Smith has been denied parole by a unanimous vote after she sobbed and begged to be let out of prison on Wednesday.

Smith apologized for drowning her two young sons 30 years ago and and said she wished she could take it back. But, true to form, Smith still refused to take full responsibility for her actions, blaming others for the choices she made.

The seven member South Carolina Board of Paroles immediately voted to deny Smith’s request. However, she will now be able to apply for parole every two years — meaning the family of her murdered sons, Alex and Michael, will have to show up to fight her request if they want to ensure she stays behind bars.

Smith has faced disciplinary action several times in prison, including two separate sexual encounters with corrections officers, incidents of self-harm, possession of marijuana — and most recently for giving contact information for family and her ex-husband to a documentary producer.

She blamed the documentary producer, saying, “I trusted the wrong person” — but omitting the fact that she had asked the producer for cash and other compensation for her story. Smith also claimed that her convictions for misconduct behind bars were not her fault.

I know the victims and their families will struggle to keep warm, and I feel for them immensely. But pictures/videos also call out for fireplaces to burn all of this timber. SAFELY. It can be done, and perhaps some effort should be made to do that. I survived on Yukon stoves (properly vented) in a tent in the worst of an Alaska cold snap in early January ’76. It can be done, and for cheap. There doesn’t seem to be a lack of fuel…

Isn’t it odd how president Trump suddenly became one of the cool kids instead of a Nazi that had to be stopped by any means necessary? I think the progressives ran out of steam after 4 years of Biden.

Joe Biden’s sloppy attitude toward Russia, in providing US made weapons to Ukraine, frosts my nekkid arse. He is deliberately provoking WW3, and I am furious. He may be deliberately leaving a horrible situation to President Trump. This would not surprise me, but it does scare the bejabers out of me.

Love the video of Senator Paul speaking about government waste and the best way to start eliminating it. Equally important is what he said about Ukraine/Russia war. It is a lose lose situation, and negotiations must be serious and swift to stop this unprecedented move by the Biden administration, which only seems to be escalating tensions. IMO

Chunk Weiner is a certified ahole. Allan Lichtman’s prediction method is actually extremely good. What’s terrible is his personal bias that led him to misapply his own rules. They actually predicted Trump would win decisively.

Turley | Yes, Whoopi Goldberg can be sued for defamation.

Good, the should sue. I am still wondering what happened to Nick Sandmann’s suit against Caryn Johnson?

I just looked it up.

He never sued Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar or the View.

He sued cnn and wash post, abc news, nbc news, usa today.

Most of the suits were thrown out by the courts.

CNN settled with him for an undisclosed amount — rumored to be five hundred thousand.

From the story in the stack about Jen Rubin (link to an X clip), I have to say, I continue to be amazed (or perhaps shouldn’t be) by how many people with law degrees think they are the magically the smartest on the planet about everything – including science and math. Ms. Rubin appears to be a propaganda machine, but the fact is, people with a solid science background have a healthy skepticism about the medical industry in general, and this includes the contents of vaccines. As long as the medical/science research papers are publicly available, scientifically minded people will continue reading them and make decisions accordingly.
