- Climate alarmists will insist 2023 was ‘the hottest on record globally’, and show those ‘studies’ that will most likely end up being disproven like all their theories.
- As the winter has shown to be exceedingly cold, they will try to continue to confuse us with the same prestidigitation so that we can’t see what’s in front of us: record cold temperatures.
- Northern Sweden recorded the lowest temperature since measuring began, and elsewhere in Scandinavia temperatures were also record lows, with extreme cold and snowstorms disrupting transportation and closing schools.
- “Temperatures fell below minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit) in the Nordic region for a second day in a row Wednesday. In Kvikkjokk-Årrenjarka in Swedish Lapland, the mercury dropped to minus 43.6 C (minus 46.5 F), the lowest January temperature recorded in Sweden in 25 years, Sweden’s TT news agency reported.
- The wave of cold air from Siberia and the Arctic region has also swept down over western Russia, with temperatures in Moscow and other areas plummeting to minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 22 F), well below the average temperature for early January.”
- In Russia, the cold wave is also biting strong.
- Officials in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other areas have issued ‘orange weather’ warnings, cautioning residents against possible health risks.
- Reuters reported:
- Northern Europe is experiencing ‘an extreme start’ to the new year’s weather.
- The ‘Arctic blast’ has brought some record-low temperatures to northern Sweden and Finland, causing chaos on the roads.
- CNN reported:

- a closer look at the details of today’s jobs report reveals just how ugly the reality behind the the Budget-Busting Bidenomics truly is.
- Let’s start with the now monthly revisions.
- Regular readers are aware that earlier this year we spotted a peculiar trend when it comes to economic data releases by the Biden admin which – without fail – had been revised lower…

- … and this month was no different. In fact, as shown in the chart below, the jobs print from 10 of the past 11 months has been revised lower! Why? So that the White House can take credit for a strong number (one which also sparks algorithmic buying in the market) only to quietly revise it lower one and two months later when nobody is looking.
- But that’s just the start. Next we turn to the numbers behind the headline job prints which were rather terrible: the monthly nonfarm payrolls (from the Establishment Survey) may have been weak at 216K but the far more accurate Household Survey showed that the number of Employed workers actually collapsed by an unprecedented 683K, the biggest drop since the US economy was shutdown by covid!
- Even scarier, while the monthly grind higher in the payrolls number (pulled from the far less accurate Establishment Survey) means that US jobs hit a record high every month with bizarre consistency and in December this was certainly the case, the total nonfarm employment number rose to an all time high 157.232 million, the abovementioned collapse in US Employment (per Household survey) meant that there were only 161.183 million employed people in the US, the lowest since June, with the now traditional divergence between these two surveys glaringly obvious in the chart below.
- While that’s bad, unfortunately it gets much worse, because while we already know that there is something very troubling with jobs quantitatively, the Household Survey also looks at the quality of jobs gained or lost, and specifically it breaks down the jobs into full-time and part-time jobs (Source: Table A-9).
- Here, one look at this month’s adjustment and it’s literally a shocker: you will not hear anyone from the Biden admin, the mainstream media, or associated economist cheerleaders mention this, but the BLS reported that in December the number of full-time jobs plunged by 1.531 million to 133.2 million, the biggest monthly drop since the record covid crash of 14.7 million jobs!
- Of course, as full-time jobs crashed, something had to offset the plunge, and sure enough, it was all in the surge of part-time workers. In December, the number of part-timers soared by a whopping 762,000, the second highest monthly increase since the covid lockdowns, to 27.794 million, the highest print since March 2018!
- Putting this in context, it means that since February of 2023, the US has not added a single full-time job (in fact it has lost 34,000), while adding 774 part-time jobs!
- those workers who have to work more than one job at a time to make ends meet. In December, that number surged by 222K, and at 8.565 million was the highest print on record!
- Putting it all together, if one believes the headlines, in December the US added 216K payrolls (which included a record number of double-counted multiple jobholders), and yet the number of employed workers actually crashed by 683K, the biggest drop in 4 years. Furthermore, taking a closer look at the composition we find that in December, the number of well-paid, full-time workers collapsed by a near record 1.5 million, offset by a 762K surge in part-time workers. As for the balance, it was the 222K people who discovered last month that to keep up with the economic miracle that is Bidenomics, they need to work at least one more job.
- In short: December was a catastrophic month for the jobs market, which is why we expect the usual theater: non-stop spin and lies from the Biden admin, and not a single relevant question from the liberal media whose job is not to educate or inform, but to carry water, spread lies and enable propaganda.
- not only has all job creation in the past 4 years has been exclusively for foreign-born workers, but there has been zero job-creation for native born workers since 2018!

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh Is Named in New Batch of Epstein Documents
- former FBI director Louis Freeh was mentioned
- He appears in the context of a dispute between plaintiff Virginia Roberts Giuffre and defendant Ghislaine Maxwell over whether former President Bill Clinton – who flew 26 times in Epstein’s ‘Air Lolita’ plane – had ever been to the infamous ‘Pedophile Island’.The Daily Beast reported:
- “The [Maxwell] defense, however, presented a report from former FBI Director Louis Freeh which concluded Clinton never traveled to Little St. James.
Read more:
- Freeh was the head of the bureau from 1993 to June 2001, and ended up listed because he ‘may have knowledge concerning travel of Bill Clinton,’ according to a document filed by Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense lawyers in June 2016.
- Daily Mail reported:
- “She likely included him to support her claims that Clinton never visited Epstein’s Caribbean island and only ever traveled on his jet accompanied by Secret Service agents and aides.
- Clinton, who has not been accused of having any involvement with underage girls, has always denied wrongdoing.”

- New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Corporation Counsel Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix today announced a lawsuit against 17 charter bus and transportation companies that seeks to recoup all costs New York City has incurred providing emergency shelter and services to migrants transported by the charter bus companies — totaling at least approximately $708 million in the last 20 months. Since the spring of 2022, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has admitted to facilitating the transport of more than 33,600 migrants to New York City without having the companies transporting those migrants pay for the cost of continued care in violation of New York’s Social Services Law. Today’s suit seeks to recoup the hundreds of millions of dollars incurred to care for all these individuals, costs moving forward for any of those migrants still in New York City’s care, and costs for all those who are transported to New York City from Texas in the future as part of Governor Abbott’s plan.

- Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins stated that the federal government has failed to secure the U.S.-Mexico border and now Chicago is “attempting to close its own borders to the constant flow of migrant buses and now private charter planes that are landing.”
- Hopkins said, “Part of this is a response to the city attempting to close its own borders to the constant flow of migrant buses and now private charter planes that are landing. It’s happening at a time when we are not prepared, when we don’t have the resources that we’ve allocated, the social workers, the medical staff, the people who are there to try and take these migrants in.

Media Matters Appears To Have Unintentionally Revealed Its Confidential List Of Donors
- Media Matters for America mistakenly leaked its confidential donor list containing funding from major Democratic megadonors, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
- Media Matters is not legally mandated to publicly reveal its donors because of its status as a 501(c)(3) charity organization and the documents state they are “Not Open to Public Inspection.” However, the left-wing organization appears to have unintentionally released its top five donors of 2022 in a November public filing to the New Mexico Office of the Attorney General
- Indiana shopping-mall tycoon Deborah Simon gave Media Matters $4 million, according to the documents. She has given millions to Democratic politicians and organizations over the years, according to Federal Election Commission data.
- “I’m going to do anything I can to defeat [Trump],” Simon said in 2019, according to Indianapolis Business Journal. “That’s my goal
- Bain Capital co-founder Josh Bekenstein and his wife Anita gave $1.75 million to Media Matters. Both of them have donated millions to Democratic super PACs over the years, according to OpenSecrets data.
- Left-wing megadonors including billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, organizations managed by Arabella Advisors and the Ford Foundation have historically contributed to Media Matters. Yet, despite the organization’s alleged left-wing bias, several media outlets have characterized Media Matters as simply a media “watchdog.”
- Lastly, billionaire Warren Buffett’s Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation donated over $1.7 million, according to the documents. Buffett endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, according to The New York Times.

- Trend noted in 6 of 8 large cities
- A new study shows that after a constitutional carry law was implemented in Ohio, gun crimes dropped in six of the eight largest cities.
- A report from the Ohio Star cited the work on the study by the Center for Justice Research, a project of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Bowling Green State University.
- A little over a year ago, Ohio became the 23rd state to allow residents to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, and the study looked at what followed.
Six of Ohio’s eight largest cities saw less gun crime after the state’s “constitutional carry” law took effect, according to a study published today by the Center for Justice Research, a partnership between the office of AG Yost and @bgsu.

- The cities reviewed included Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, Parma, and Canton.
- Researchers looked at information about crimes involving firearms and such, the report said, with the gun crime falling by 22% in Parma. It was down 18% in Akron and Toledo, 6% in Cleveland, 11% in Columbus. It was down marginally in Canton.
- In Dayton, the reports were up 6% and in Cincinnati, 5%.
- “The key takeaway from this study is that we have to keep the pressure on the criminals who shoot people, rather than Ohioans who responsibly exercise their Second Amendment rights.”

- The rival Koreas fired artillery rounds into the sea as part of provocative drills along their disputed sea boundary on Friday, in violation of the fragile 2018 inter-Korean military agreement.
- The firing exercises are expected to escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Experts say North Korea will likely intensify a run of weapons tests and its warlike rhetoric ahead of South Korea’s parliamentary elections in April and the U.S. presidential election in November.
- South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea fired 200 rounds in the waters north of their western sea boundary on Friday morning. It was North Korea’s first front-line maritime firing exercise in about a year.

- Santorum, Cruz… And he FAILED. He still turned off voters in subsequent states, as all but Bush did on that list, but the uber-con didn’t work because Iowa isn’t that state anymore, even in a GOP caucus. Remember, Trump nearly won (and would’ve if not for the trick) Iowa in 2016.
- Had he, he wouldn’t have lost New Hampshire simply because he came in first in the Iowa Caucuses. It’s how he ran, the ideological lane in which he ran. Same is true of this cycle.
- Him winning Iowa will not blunt his momentum going into New Hampshire because he didn’t run as a Draconian Puritan.
- In other words, it may be the case this cycle we’re seeing a change like we saw after 2000 when it comes to states’ abilities to predict/choose the nominee. Iowa is looking a lot more like South Carolina. It used to be the other way around.

- Special Counsel Jack Smith went completely off the rails and told a federal appeals court that Trump’s immunity argument would allow him to order his supporters to murder opposing lawmakers.
- Trump’s lawyers argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.
- “In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in last month’s filing, according to CBS News. “To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”

Trump Is Worried About SCOTUS
The Constitution of the United States grants legislative immunity to members of Congress through the Speech or Debate Clause, but has no explicit comparable grant for the president.[5] Early American politicians, including those at the Constitutional Convention, were divided as to whether such immunity should exist.[6] However, courts historically found that the president had absolute immunity from any personal damage liability for acts undertaken in the course of their duties.[7] The first suit brought directly against a president was Mississippi v. Johnson (1867), in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled Andrew Johnson could not be sued as the actions in question were discretionary.[8] Spalding v. Vilas (1896) affirmed that federal cabinet officers had absolute immunity for actions “more or less” within the scope of their duties; Barr v. Matteo (1959) extended this to all federal executive officials.[9]
- “If you study the history of presidential runs, a vice president has never made a difference—which is surprising,” Trump said. “It’s a one-night story, and then they’re back to a regular evening. They’re voting for the president. They’re not voting for the vice president. There has, not that I can think of, never been a vice president that’s made much of a difference in terms of nomination and in terms of even winning the election.”
- “So, look, we have some very good people—the same people you know,” Trump said. “They’re good people. We have some people that would like me to run with certain others. Maybe I can’t do that because you have to go with what your gut tells you. Winning is very important. Look, if we don’t win this, I think this country is finished. I actually do.”
