Emmons: Dems mad they ‘got killed in alternative media’ as they seek to replicate TPUSA, Daily Wire

By Libby Emmons, Commentary | The Post Millennial Democrats are unhappy about their electoral loss and they're still trying to figure out how it happened. They have blamed voters, pollsters, Joe Biden, each other, and now they have decided that their lack of alternative media in the parallel economy model of the right is to blame. "We got killed in alternative media," said Stuart Perelmuter in a new article out from The New York Times. Perelmuter has been "contemplating" some kind of alternative Dem influencer group. "Republicans have been investing in that space for years. And on the left we have treated creators who are not in legacy media as gig workers." Perelmuter is one of many left-wing progressive influencers who complained to The Times that the Democrats are...

Commentary: Bhattacharya is a strong pick to head NIH

By The Washington Examiner | Commentary Senators may still have some real substantive concerns about President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of Health and Human Services, but his decision to tap Dr. Jay Bhattacharya as director of the National Institutes of Health is the right choice. A Stanford University professor of economic and health policy, Bhattacharya rose to national prominence when he co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, an open letter published in October 2020 that questioned the lockdown policies promoted by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and then-NIH Director Francis Collins. While thousands of scientists ended up signing the declaration, or m...

Feds sue Free Land Holders group that put up fence, claimed ‘original’ ownership over 1,400 acres of forest

By Olivia Prentzel and Jason Blevins | The Colorado Sun A group that fenced off about 1,400 acres of U.S. Forest Service land outside Mancos after claiming ownership over it is now being sued by the federal government. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court of Colorado, U.S. attorneys called the Free Land Holder group’s fence “unlawful,” citing the federal government’s title to the land that it manages through the Forest Service for recreation purposes and cattle grazing.  The U.S. is filing the lawsuit, attorneys wrote, to prevent further harm to the land and public and “ensure continuing free and lawful access to public property.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SUN

Anti-Israel protesters disrupt Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but Ronald McDonald marches on

By Stephen Sorace  | Fox News Anti-Israel protesters with "Free Palestine" signs and banners descended on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday, with police removing those who attempted to block the parade route. One group of protesters held Palestinian flags and unfurled a banner that read, "Don’t celebrate genocide!" in the middle of the street as the parade led by the Ronald McDonald balloon was coming down W. 55th Street and Sixth Avenue. Photos show NYPD officers breaking up the demonstration and detaining multiple protesters so that the parade could continue unobstructed. Some protesters were seen walking away while others who refused to move were pulled away or taken down to the ground and handcuffed. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS...

How the White House Thanksgiving turkey pardon came to be

By Emily Hallas | Washington Examiner U.S. presidents have for decades dutifully trotted out before Thanksgiving to hold an obligatory turkey pardoning ceremony on the White House grounds.  The presidential practice of granting clemency to a choice selection of lucky turkeys just before millions of citizens feast is now an established American tradition.  But then how did it all begin? Here’s a look from the Washington Examiner into how the ceremony came into existence.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Bensman: Why reviving Trump’s ‘remain in Mexico’ policy will swiftly reduce border chaos

By Todd Bensman | Commentary, The Federalist Remain in Mexico worked very well under President Trump’s first term and foreshadows a more tranquil border very soon. In July 2019, I crossed the international bridge from El Paso into the sprawling Mexican border city of Juárez to gauge the effects of President Donald Trump’s so-called “Remain in Mexico” policy. On that blazing hot summer day, as 20,000 of an eventual 75,000 had just been expelled under the policy, I made my way by taxi to a shelter high up on a rise in the dangerous neighborhood of Anapra. The shelter is within eyesight of Mexico’s side of the American wall and El Paso beyond. I was soon interviewing recent expellee Veronica Janeth Tejeda of Yoro in northwestern Honduras as she played with one of her two expelled chi...

Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci responsible for ‘side effects, lying and ruining economies,’ Joe Rogan says

By Meredith Evans| Evie Joe Rogan slams Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci in a new episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. Joined by independent researchers Jimmy Corsetti (Bright Insight) and Dan Richards (DeDunking the Past), the host didn't hold back in criticizing “experts” Gates and Dr. Fauci for what he described as a profit grab. Rogan called the “health authorities” during the pandemic “puppets.” Rogan accused Gates of hypocrisy, referencing the Microsoft founder’s advocacy for COVID-19 vaccines. “Bill Gates, who’s on television telling everybody, ‘Get the vaccine, you won’t get COVID,’ and then afterward it turns out—it didn’t work. He’d already unloaded all of his stock,” Rogan said. He alleged that Gates had profited from vaccine investmen...
