Here’s Why Mark Zuckerberg Had Dinner With Trump At Mar-a-Lago

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence to seemingly brown-nose the soon-to-be commander-in-chief to reportedly be a part of Trump’s revolutionary change in the United States.

Despite lying to Congress about censoring conservatives, Zuckerberg visited Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida home on Wednesday to be a part of his “reform movement” that the incoming administration is leading.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller confirmed Trump and Zuckerberg’s meeting, saying that the Facebook founder views Trump’s second term as a chance at “national renewal” in the country. He said that although Zuckerberg has his own company and his own agenda, he “understands that President Trump is an agent of change, an agent of prosperity.”

A Meta spokesperson said that Zuckerberg was “grateful” to be invited to Mar-a-Lago for dinner to meet with Trump.

“It’s an important time for the future of American Innovation. Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming Administration,” the spokesperson said.

Pro-Lifer Spending Thanksgiving in Prison Grateful for Opportunity: ‘A DOJ-Sponsored Mission Trip’

/5 Comments/in , /by

For only the second time in their 41-year marriage, Calvin and Trish Zastrow will be spending Thanksgiving apart. The first time was due to travel — this time it’s because Cal is serving a six-month prison sentence over a peaceful protest at a Tennessee abortion facility in 2021.

Zastrow was convicted earlier this year on FACE Act-related charges brought by the Biden administration after he prayed, sang hymns, and sat in front of the door to the entrance of an abortion facility in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Calling from the Federal Correctional Institute Thomson in Illinois this week, Zastrow told The Daily Wire he was doing “absolutely fantastic.”

“I’m all on fire for Jesus,” he said. “I’m doing absolutely great, I’m on a big mission trip here.”

Over one month into his prison sentence, Zastrow said he has kept busy praying, reading his Bible, and teaching his fellow inmates about Christianity.

“There’s a whole lot of prodigals who are wallowing in pig mud, but they want to come back to Jesus, and so I’m here as a missionary to pull them out of that and help them get back on the Jesus road,” he said.

Democrats Scold Americans on Thanksgiving: Thank Illegal Aliens for Picking Your Food

/2 Comments/in , /by

Democrats are celebrating Thanksgiving by scolding Americans, telling them they should thank illegal aliens working on United States farms for picking their food.

“Everyone at the dinner table today, especially MAGA, please give thanks to the undocumented immigrants that picked and packed the food you’re enjoying. They deserve our grace,” Julián Castro wrote on X. “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Meanwhile, Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) made a similar statement, writing:

Join me in taking a moment to appreciate the hands that harvested the food on our Thanksgiving tables this year. Our meals wouldn’t be possible without the tireless work of migrant farmworkers, farmers, and ranchers across the country. Thanksgiving doesn’t happen without them. [Emphasis added]

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) also wrote on X, “This Thanksgiving, please remember that many of the people picking our food, working in our favorite restaurants, and cleaning our hotel rooms are undocumented immigrants.”

America’s Largest DEI Program Is About To Go Up In Flames

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The University of Michigan’s (UM) multi-million dollar diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program may soon be dismantled.

The university’s board of regents has reportedly asked UM president Santa Ono “to defund or restructure” the DEI office amid growing criticism and public pressure, according to emails shared on X. The board is expected to vote on the matter on Dec. 5.

“I write to share information with you about impending threats to the University of Michigan’s DEI programming and core values of diversity, equity, and inclusion,” Rebekah Modrak, faculty senate chair, wrote in an email to faculty senate members. “It has been confirmed by multiple sources that the Regents met earlier this month in a private meeting with a small subgroup of central leadership members, and among the topics discussed was the future of DEI at UM, including the possibility of defunding DEI in the next fiscal year.”

Calls for the university’s DEI program to come to a close surfaced after The New York Times exposed its failures and the vast amount of money being thrown at it. (Read more from “America’s Largest DEI Program Is About To Go Up In Flames” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Costco has issued a warning after eggs were recalled in five states across the country over a potential salmonella contamination.

On November 27, Handsome Brook Farms issued a recall notice of 10,800 units of Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand name.

The eggs were sold at 25 Costco stores across Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee beginning on November 22 2024.

The recall was initiated after the company found that eggs not intended for distribution were packaged and distributed in retail packaging by mistake.

Shauna Grob, head of operations and finance at Handsome Brook Farms, told Newsweek: ‘No illnesses have been reported at all. We have received a number of consumer calls to confirm whether the units they had in their possession were recall-able, but that has been the only interactions we have had with consumers thus far since releasing press release and notice to Costco consumers.’ (Read more from “Costco Issues Warning as 10,000 Products Are Recalled Over Salmonella Fears” HERE)

“Gonna happen,” Musk responded to a comment that, “The IRS getting audited by the @DOGE.” (Read more from “Millions of Taxpayers Gleeful After Elon Musk Promises IRS Will Be Put Under Audit” HERE)

Poll: Most Americans Continue Thanksgiving Traditions of Prayer and Gratitude

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent Pew Research Center survey reveals that Thanksgiving remains a deeply rooted occasion for prayer and expressions of gratitude among Americans, with nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults saying they either say a prayer or share what they are thankful for during the holiday meal.

Despite a broader trend of religious disaffiliation in the United States over the past decade, the survey highlights that many Americans continue to hold strong spiritual beliefs, particularly around the holidays. According to the Pew study, 65% of U.S. adults report that someone at their Thanksgiving dinner traditionally says a prayer or blessing, while 69% say they express gratitude by sharing things they are thankful for. More than half (56%) of respondents report that both of these traditions occur at their Thanksgiving table.

Religious identification appears to play a significant role in the continuation of these traditions. Among those who identify with particular faiths, participation in Thanksgiving prayers is notably higher. For example, 91% of white evangelical Protestants, 88% of black Protestants, 74% of Catholics, and 72% of white non-evangelical Protestants say someone at their dinner offers a prayer or blessing.

On the other hand, the survey found that religiously unaffiliated groups were less likely to observe these traditions. Just 22% of atheists say someone typically offers a prayer at their Thanksgiving dinner, with 39% of agnostics and 22% of Jewish adults also reporting similar practices. Among those who describe their religion as “nothing in particular,” 45% said a prayer is typically said during Thanksgiving.

However, when it comes to expressing gratitude, even those who identify as non-religious tend to take part in the tradition. Majorities of atheists (48%), agnostics (61%), and those who say they have no religious affiliation (59%) report that someone at their table typically shares what they are thankful for during the holiday meal.

The Pew Research Center conducted the survey between November 12 and November 17, 2024, gathering responses from a nationally representative sample of 9,609 adults.

Musk Accuses Alexander Vindman of Treason After Former Army Officer Labels Him Russian Puppet

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk accused former Army officer and Trump administration official Alexander Vindman of treason after he suggested the X owner is a Russian puppet.

Vindman is mainly known for testifying against President-elect Donald Trump during the Trump-Ukraine scandal in 2019. His twin brother, Eugene Vindman, recently won election to Virginia’s 7th Congressional District as a Democrat.

“Vindman is on the payroll of Ukrainian oligarchs and has committed treason against the United States, for which he will pay the appropriate penalty,” Musk posted in a reply to Vindman’s comments on X.

Alexander Vindman was born in Ukraine but immigrated to the United States decades ago. He served under Trump as his director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council from 2018 to 2020.

“Clearly, Putin has a type,” Alexander Vindman said in an interview on MSNBC. “He likes narcissists and egomaniacs that he knows as a case officer who could easily pander to manipulate, to do his dirty work.” (Read more from “Musk Accuses Alexander Vindman of Treason After Former Army Officer Labels Him Russian Puppet” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled that Texas has the right to build a razor wire border wall to deter illegal immigration into the Lone Star State.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced the ruling on X, saying President Biden was “wrong to cut our razor wire.”

“We continue adding more razor wire border barrier,” the Republican leader wrote.

Wednesday’s 2-1 decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals clears the way for Texas to pursue a lawsuit accusing the Biden administration of trespassing without having to remove the fencing. (Read more from “Huge Win in the Fight to Stop Democratic Cities From Harboring Criminals” HERE)
