This year’s White House holiday decor is taking a cue from the Constitution, decking the halls with the theme, “We the People.” Jill Biden unveiled the theme for the annual decorating tradition on Monday, saying in a statement that her hope for the White House’s seasonal makeover was to “capture the spirit embodied in the very idea of America.” “During your visit to the People’s House, through rooms full of history and holiday decor, in the mirrored ornaments and reflective lights, our hope is that you feel at home and find yourself in the great story of America,” the first...

The Pentagon is considering a Boeing proposal to supply Ukraine with cheap, small precision bombs fitted onto abundantly available rockets, allowing Kyiv to strike far behind Russian lines as the West struggles to meet demand for more arms. U.S. and allied military inventories are shrinking, and Ukraine faces an increasing need for more sophisticated weapons as the war drags on. Boeing's proposed system, dubbed Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), is one of about a half-dozen plans for getting new munitions into production for Ukraine and America's Eastern European allies, industry sources said. GLSDB could be delivered as early as spring...

Chinese bots are swamping Twitter with sexually explicit posts about porn and escorts in an apparent bid to stop the spread of news about the massive protests against lockdowns and President Xi Jinping. Searches for major Chinese cities that have seen mass protests will “mostly see ads for escorts/porn/gambling, drowning out legitimate search results,” said Air-Moving Device, sharing a series of charts. “Data analysis in this thread suggests that there has been a significant uptick in these spam tweets,” the outlet said, sharing data retweeted by Stanford Internet Observatory Director Alex Stamos. The “vast majority” — more than 95% —...

Pendukh, 33, after serving several months on the front lines - the war has taken a toll on him He considers himself lucky. Friends in his battalion have served with squads that lost more than half their members. "Lots of problems, even psychological problems," he says. "Some people from those formations, they need psychological help after this. Very serious psychological help." He's tired of living out of a tent. He's tired of facing daily artillery fire. He misses his mom and her cooking....He acknowledges crying while eating an apple pie that his mother recently sent him. "The further you are...

During an appearance on FNC’s “MediaBuzz,” Daily Mail columnist Meghan McCain likened liberal backlash to Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter to that of “babies.” McCain called the response a “little tantrum” from the left because of the shift of power. I’m addicted to Twitter, and I’ve been on since 2009. And I think if you work in media or interested in news, it’s a really powerful and useful space. There’s no doubt that a lot of people have been shadow banned on the right. And people have had their accounts taken away for innocuous things like, you know, saying, my...

While Europe correctly perceives that some sectors of the U.S. economy are raking in profits at the expense of Europe, the economy of the United States is showing clear signs of a retracting economy on multiple fronts.

Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to create a Political Action Committee (PAC). Axios reported Sunday the governor initiated the process to create Hardworking Americans Inc., which will “allow the Republican to boost his national profile” as a possible signal for a U.S. Senate run or even a 2024 run. “Kemp’s unique success defeating a Trump-backed opponent in a primary and a Democrat in a key battleground has made him something of a case study for Republicans. It’s also paved the way for speculation about his future national ambitions,” Axios noted.

After more than two years of insisting that a laptop computer abandoned by President Biden's son Hunter at a computer repair shop was a fake, on November 21, CBS News finally admitted that it had "independently verified its authenticity. From some perspectives I guess we look pretty inept to have taken so long to arrive at the truth. However, on the bright side, our erroneous rejection of its authenticity served the very useful purpose of helping to influence voters to oust Donald Trump from the presidency in the 2020 election." "Based on the stuff that's on the laptop, it looks...

Republican donors: Start spending on the long-term now or quit wasting your money. Imagine you’re barreling down the highway and an accident happens a few feet in front of you. Your ability to respond and avoid a collision is very limited. You’ll probably have very few choices—and it may be that none of them are good. Now imagine the same scenario but this time the accident happens hundreds of feet in front of you. Now your ability to respond—and the choices available—are more plentiful. Politics is kind of like this too. There are the here-and-now activities and battles, and the...

The world's largest active volcano has erupted in Hawaii for the first time in nearly four decades, officials said. Mauna Loa erupted at 11:30 p.m. local time Sunday (4:30 a.m. ET Monday), the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was the first eruption since 1984, according to its Hawaii Volcano Observatory daily update. The eruption began in Moku‘āweoweo, the summit caldera of Mauna Loa, inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the agency said, as it upgraded the volcano's alert level from an "advisory" to a "warning." "At this time, lava flows are contained within the summit area and are not threatening downslope...

And will the NeverTrumpers finally be exposed to have been as contemptible as the NeverQueegers were in The Caine Mutiny? The Left, the NeverTrump Right, and many independents are tiring of Donald Trump’s recitations of prior, however justified, grievances at the hands of the media, the Democratic Party, the administrative state, and hard-core Left. The conventional wisdom runs that Trump’s whines and victimization recitations reveal deep paranoias, and increasingly to an obsessive degree. We are told that his near neurotic obsessions with the unfairness of his critics are alienating the independent voter, who finds Trump’s strolls down 2020-21 memory lane...

Google could be facing more calls from activist investors urging CEO Sundar Pichai and team to cut its OpEx base further, given slowing growth. However, we discuss why Google has been relatively consistent with its OpEx spending over time. Moreover, its OpEx margins have also been trending down, unlike Meta Platforms. Notwithstanding, Google needs to reaccelerate its top line growth to justify a material re-rating. We discuss why the market has likely reflected significant uncertainties in its execution due to substantial macro and competitive headwinds. Maintain Buy. Thesis Google (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) employees have been anxious over the past month after...

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Monday that monkeypox is to be renamed "mpox" in English. "Following a series of consultations with global experts, WHO will begin using a new preferred term 'mpox' as a synonym for monkeypox. Both names will be used simultaneously for one year while 'monkeypox' is phased out," the UN health agency said in a statement. The monkeypox virus was originally identified in monkeys in 1958, but can infect a number of other animals, and is more frequently found in rodents. Although global infection numbers have been declining since August, the virus remains a problem...

FALMOUTH, Thursday, Oct. 27. Fredericksburgh is not occupied by the enemy in force, merely a picket guard is there on duty. Business is totally suspended. The only flag visible is a British one, floating from a private residence. The soldiers of both armies use the river, and although they are sometimes within hailing distance no firing by either party has taken place since the first day our troops appeared in front of Fredericksburgh.THE PRESIDENT VISITS GEN. BURNSIDE. WASHINGTON, Thursday, Nov. 27. The President quietly left the city about noon on Wednesday, for Belleplaine, where he met Gen. BURNSIDE, and held...

Frantically searching for any explanation but the obvious ones. Even in the face of data showing that Covid “vaccines” do not prevent transmission of the virus but do cause extremely high rates of adverse events to be reported, the US (and much of the world’s) medical establishment remains fully committed to pushing universal vaccinations. The G20 meeting recently included plans for a global vaccine passport that would prevent international travel by those who have resisted the pressure to receive the spike protein-laden jabs, and many august institutions of higher learning such as Yale and the University of California demand that...

After a disappointing midterm, there is nothing more important than getting your mind right for the road ahead. A lot of clear-eyed, hardworking, patriotic Americans are down in the dumps right now. Understandably so. The midterms were an utter disappointment. Midnight mail-in ballot hauls have completely upended elections, transforming almost certain MAGA victories in Arizona and elsewhere into uphill legal battles likely to suffer slow strangulation in Establishment-coddling courts. If America had properly functioning democratic elections where only legal citizens voted secretly and securely after first establishing their identification, Republicans would have a hundred-seat margin in the House. Instead, centrist...
