- Last week, Republican Sen. John Kennedy introduced the subtly named “No Propaganda Act.” If enacted, it would end federal funding for America’s public media.
- He joined an effort by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are heading up an amorphous cost-cutting advisory group for President-elect Donald Trump and have also suggested that support for public media should be eliminated from the federal budget.
- Musk’s suggestion and Kennedy’s bill got little press coverage for an understandable reason: It’s nothing new.
- This would defund NPR, PBS, their member stations and their primary funding mechanism, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Efforts to defund NPR and PBS have been raised by Republicans and successfully batted away by public media defenders with annual regularity for decades.

-
Reducing Incentives for Illegal Immigration:
-
Trump has argued that birthright citizenship acts as a “magnet” for illegal immigration, where individuals enter the U.S. without legal status to give birth to children who automatically become U.S. citizens. He posits that ending this practice would remove a significant incentive for illegal immigration.
-
-
Addressing “Birth Tourism”:
-
Trump has highlighted concerns about “birth tourism,” where pregnant women from other countries legally enter the U.S. to give birth, securing citizenship for their children. His approach aims to curb this practice, which he considers an abuse of the system.
-
-
Legislative and Constitutional Interpretation:
-
Trump has claimed that the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which grants citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” has been misinterpreted. His administration’s view was that the amendment does not apply to children of undocumented immigrants because they are not fully subject to U.S. jurisdiction. This interpretation, however, is not widely accepted among legal scholars.

- Something unprecedented just happened in the NATO and EU member country of Romania – a top court on Friday annulled the first round of the country’s presidential election. Essentially there will now be a ‘do over’ election.
- The Constitutional Court made the decision even as voting is still underway in the diaspora. “The electoral process for the election of the President of Romania will be resumed in its entirety, with the Government required to set a new date for the election of the President of Romania as well as a new calendar program for carrying out the necessary actions,” the court said in a statement.
- The court decided “to annul the entire electoral process for the election of the President of Romania… to ensure the correctness and legality of the electoral process” – in a controversial ruling which has simply never happened.
- Calin Georgescu, the widely dubbed ‘far-right’ contender, came out on top in a first round of voting in a ‘shock’ outcome which left political opponents claiming Russian election interference.
- Apparently the ‘smoking gun’ is related to mere social media posts on platforms like TikTok. “The Constitutional Court’s unprecedented decision — which is final — came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia ran a sprawling campaign comprising thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms like TikTok and Telegram,” The Associated Press details.

BREAKING: Syria’s Toppled Ruler Assad and His Family Arrive in Moscow – Russia Grants Them Asylum
- After the sudden, dramatic takeover of the Syria Arabic Republic by opposition rebels with ties to Isis and Al Qaeda, the long-time ruler Bashar al Assad and his family fled the capital Damascus, leaving orders for the military to surrender and to the officials to enact a peaceful transition of power to the radical Islamists.
- Because an airplane thought to be the one he embarked lost altitude and then disappeared from radar, there was rampant speculation that Assad and his family may have died in a plane crash.
- That was not the case.
- It now arises that the Syrian and his family has arrived in Moscow, according to Russian state media.

- all over again just like they did the last time under that gay motherfucker Obama. Do you not know? Can you not see? They’ve already earmarked hundreds of billions of dollars that the international MIC is going to spend ‘containing’ these CIA/Mossad paramilitary Operation Gladio groups they created and now empowered to take over Syria.
- Bad enough that ISIS was allowed by NATO and the West to gallivant around the region from 2008-2017 in those oh-so-slow moving car/truck caravans up and down the highways as they committed their mass executions and depravities.
- They had a magical mystery air shield that prevented their convoys from being blown back to the Stone Age. Weird how that worked, huh? They managed to seize and HOLD vast swaths of territory for YEARS while that gay motherfucker Obama did the helpless shrugging act, acting like he was trying OH SO VERY HARD to ‘contain’ them, but nothing he could really do.
- Nothing seemed to work, don’t cha’ know? Guess what? He wasn’t really trying. No one was, really. Because ISIS was a creation of the West and was a tool being used to provide the EXCUSE for all the MIC money-laundering and defense contracting/industry money shuffle. Same fucking thing they did with Al Qaeda.
- Trump will declassify the truth about what that fucking traitor No Name and Hillary and Obama and all the rest were doing in Benghazi. Trillions of dollars went into the ‘need’ to ‘promote democracy’ in that region after 9/11. And then Syria, and then to combat the mysterious rise and dominance of ISIS. And now here we fucking go again. Same players, same playbook. If you’re pretending to fall for this, you must be in on it. As for the people who’ve figured out what’s been going on, we’ve had ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT. Trump will shut this down immediately when he comes in.
- They are counting on that. So here’s what you can expect to happen once Trump stays out of it. They’re gonna spend 4 years screaming he’s ‘abandoning democracy!’ when he doesn’t send hundreds of billions of dollars to keep the MIC/CIA/Mossad proxies ‘contained’ in Syria. They’re gonna insist he get in there and ‘save Israel’ from this self-generated threat. And when he doesn’t they’re gonna use this to attack him. No no, don’t thank me.
Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness. They have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians. There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse. I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!

- Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started?
- …and, you know what, that’s a good question. Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started?
- Not literally, of course. The bird flu “pandemic” won’t ever really start. If or when it is declared it will be a lie, just like Covid.
- The question is why haven’t they started the big roll out yet?
- The establishment has been signposting “the next pandemic” since before Covid sidled off the world stage. “Pandemic preparedness” has been a buzz phrase at all the intergovernmental panels and UN summits for at least two years. All the indications were that bird flu was the anointed successor.
- But it’s all come to nothing so far.
- Bird flu hasn’t become “the next pandemic”, it hasn’t become really anything at all, it’s barely even grazed the major news cycle.
- Instead, the story has been stuck in a strange holding pattern, circling around with dire warnings of imminent danger, only to swoop away from the runway before its wheels touch down.
- A pot that never boils despite the fact nobody’s really watching.
- Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic happened yet? What are they waiting for?
- Well, Donald Trump, apparently, amongst other things.
- Earlier today, MSNBC ran the headline:
Why the threat of bird flu makes Trump’s transition problematic – Could an unqualified public health leadership team deal with a new pandemic?

Senators Introduce Bill To Cap Supreme Court Terms At 18 Years
- Two senators introduced a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would impose term limits for members of the Supreme Court.
- The Supreme Court unanimously adopted a code of conduct in November 2023 governing the justices’ behavior.
- The new resolution, introduced on Dec. 5 by Sens. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), would limit newly appointed justices to 18 years on the bench, and lead to a new opening roughly every two years. To become effective, a constitutional amendment has to be passed by a two-thirds majority of both houses of Congress and ratified by three-quarters of the states.
- According to a summary provided by Welch, the amendment would not change the number of sitting justices, currently set at nine by law, and would establish a transition period to ensure vacancies occur at regular intervals.
Source: zerohedge.com
-
Article III of the U.S. Constitution: This article, which deals with the judicial branch, states that judges “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour.” This phrase is interpreted to mean that justices serve for life unless they resign, retire, or are impeached and removed from office. The intent was to ensure judicial independence by protecting justices from political pressures and ensuring stability in judicial decision-making.
-
Framers’ Intent: The framers, like Alexander Hamilton, argued in the Federalist Papers (specifically Federalist No. 78) that lifetime tenure would help insulate judges from the political branches of government. This was seen as crucial for maintaining the separation of powers and for the judiciary to act as a check against potential abuses by the legislative and executive branches.
-
Historical Context: During the time the Constitution was written, lifetime appointments were not uncommon for judicial positions in both Britain and various American states. The idea was to attract individuals of high repute and integrity to the bench, knowing they wouldn’t be swayed by short-term political considerations or the need to secure reappointment.
-
Lack of Term Limits: The decision not to impose term limits was also influenced by the desire to avoid the frequent turnover that could lead to inconsistency in legal interpretations and potentially destabilize the legal framework. The framers were aware of the balance needed between maintaining experienced jurists and allowing for new legal minds to influence jurisprudence over time.
- Therefore, the absence of term limits for Supreme Court justices was a deliberate choice by the Founding Fathers, designed to foster judicial independence, stability, and expertise within the judiciary.
How DOGE-aligned Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to stop feds trying to ‘Trump-proof’ the government
- Biden’s agency chiefs are looking to strike long-term, last-second union deals
- As Joe Biden‘s agency heads are searching for ways to ‘Trump-proof’ the government just before Inauguration Day, two top Republicans are trying to foil their plans.
- Biden’s presidency ends in 45 days and in these final weeks, the Democrat‘s hand-picked agency chiefs have struck long-term union deals that could restrict the next administration’s control.
- Republicans are worried that since these deals extend well into President-elect Trump‘s next term.
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) chief Martin O’Malley, for example, just approved a deal with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a federal worker’s union with over a million members, to lock in work from home policies until 2029.
- Trump has said he wants to implement policies that get federal workers back into their offices, and that same objective is shared by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, the co-leaders of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
- But the SSA’s deal with AFGE, ensures 42,000 of the 60,000 SSA workers (70 percent) get locked into remote working deals. O’Malley departed the SSA immediately after signing the deal.
- Now, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and incoming DOGE Subommittee Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene are demanding these agencies cease negotiations with unions and turnover documents and files regarding their ‘Trump-proofing’ attempts.
- In a letter sent to the chiefs of the 24 executive agencies exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, Comer and MTG explain they are ‘investigating whether agency leaders are abusing federal labor laws … chiefly to bind the hands of a future President.’
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, R-Ga., who will chair the DOGE subcommittee next year, wrote a letter along with Oversight Committee Chair James Comer to the 24 executive agency chiefs demanding to know if they are striking last minute deals with unions
- Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump is stepping down from her party role as she considers replacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R), whom her father-in-law, President-elect Trump, picked for secretary of state.
