Kamala Harris Celebrates Holiday Founded by Criminal Black Nationalist Who Wanted Non-White Christmas Alternative

Vice President Kamala Harris tweeted on Tuesday to celebrate the holiday of Kwanzaa, which was founded by a black nationalist convicted of torturing women.

“Happy Kwanzaa! To all those celebrating, Doug and I hope your week is filled with community and light,” tweeted Vice President Harris.

The holiday was created in 1966 by Maulana Ron Karenga (born Ronald Everett) as a Pan-African celebration of black values, history, community and culture, according to the Smithsonian Institution.

Karenga was deeply anti-Christian and intended for the holiday to replace Christmas for blacks as he thought of Christianity as a “white” religion, a black community organizer in the Indianapolis Recorder wrote. Five years after founding Kwanzaa, Karenga ended up in prison on charges of kidnapping and torturing two women, a fact check from The Dispatch noted. He allegedly used a soldering iron, a vice and toaster as instruments of torturing the women.

David Axelrod Makes Bold Prediction About Future of Ramaswamy Campaign

We are just under three weeks away from the Iowa Republican caucus, the first nominating contest in the country. Former and potentially future President Donald Trump has a historic lead in the polls, though he’s still facing four other candidates. The latest move from Vivek Ramaswamy has some, including Democratic strategist David Axelrod, wondering if he’ll even make it to Iowa, or will instead drop out to endorse Trump. . .

NBC notes that Ramaswamy was spending more than $200,000 in the first full week of December, but spent $6,000 on ads, all on TV, citing figures from AdImpact. The report also began by mentioning that Ramaswamy “does not have any TV ad reservations booked.”

According to Tricia McLaughlin, who serves as the campaign press secretary, the campaign is still spending on ads, but not on TV. As she explained it, they’re looking to best reach voters they’ve identified, with McLaughlin also noting the move is intentional:

Ramaswamy’s campaign says it is still spending money on ads, just not on TV.

“We are focused on bringing out the voters we’ve identified — best way to reach them is using addressable advertising, mail, text, live calls and doors to communicate with our voters on Vivek’s vision for America, making their plan to caucus and turning them out,” Tricia McLaughlin, the campaign’s press secretary told NBC News.

Biden’s DOJ Restricts Ex-Official From Discussing Details on Hunter Prosecutor’s Authority

Revelations have emerged regarding restrictions imposed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on a former official testifying before Congress about the authority of top Hunter Biden prosecutor David Weiss. Lesley Wolf, former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, testified before the House Judiciary Committee on December 14, but was explicitly prohibited from discussing the intricacies of Weiss’ charging authority in the Hunter Biden case.

During Wolf’s testimony, she was asked about Weiss’ charging authority, to which she responded, “I am not authorized to speak on the particulars of any ongoing matter.” The limitations on her testimony drew attention, with Wolf indicating that she lacked authorization to discuss the details of Weiss’ authority.

At the heart of the matter is the controversy surrounding Weiss’ charging authority, which gained traction following whistleblower allegations suggesting that analysts were enticed with financial incentives to manipulate their conclusions in the Hunter Biden case. The situation took an unexpected turn as Wolf, a former DOJ official, declined to provide specific details.

In October, Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart Goldberg testified that the DOJ Tax Division had approval authority over Weiss’ investigative steps and any potential tax charges in the Hunter Biden case. The testimony of IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, accusing DOJ officials, including Wolf, of providing preferential treatment to Hunter Biden, has added fuel to the controversy.

U.S. Military Strikes Back: Airstrikes Target Iranian-Backed Militants After Drone Attack Injures Numerous Troops

In a decisive response to a recent drone strike that injured multiple U.S. service members, the U.S. military launched airstrikes against facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, and affiliated entities in Iraq. The strike came as part of a broader pattern of attacks, with U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria facing more than 100 incidents since October 17, as reported by the Military Times.

The attack, which saw a suicide drone targeting a U.S. base in Erbil, Iraq, left three U.S. service members injured, including one in critical condition. U.S. Central Command announced late on Monday night that airstrikes had been conducted against multiple facilities associated with Kataib Hezbollah:

“Early assessments indicate that these U.S. airstrikes destroyed the targeted facilities and likely killed a number of Kataib Hezbollah militants.”

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin underscored the gravity of the situation, noting that other terror groups involved in attacks against U.S. forces in the region were also “Iran-aligned.” Austin emphasized the commitment to defending the United States, its troops, and interests, stating, “There is no higher priority.” While expressing a reluctance to escalate conflict, he affirmed the readiness to take further necessary measures to protect U.S. personnel and facilities.

Trump Unleashes Scathing ‘Merry Christmas’ Message

Former President Donald Trump posted a fiery message wishing people a Merry Christmas while blasting “THUGS” within the U.S., declaring, “MAY THEY ROT IN HELL.”

“Merry Christmas to all, including Crooked Joe Biden’s ONLY HOPE, Deranged Jack Smith, the out of control Lunatic who just hired outside attorneys, fresh from the SWAMP (unprecedented!), to help him with his poorly executed WITCH HUNT against ‘TRUMP’ and ‘MAGA,'” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and ‘sick’ as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!” . . .

“It’s hard to have a truly great Christmas when you have a Crooked and Incompetent President who wants to put his Political Opponent in jail, and who has been working hard (for a change!), illegally using all of the levers of Law Enforcement, to do so. We are in the fight of our lives to save our Country from MADNESS & DOOM. MAGA 2024!!!” Trump posted.

“2024 WILL GO DOWN AS THE YEAR OF GREAT AND FULLY COORDINATED ILLEGAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE BY CROOKED JOE BIDEN, THE WORST AND MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, THE DOJ, FBI, A.G.’s, & D.A.’s THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, BUT DESPITE IT ALL, IN THE END, THERE WILL BE A BIG AND GLORIOUS VICTORY FOR THOSE BRAVE AND VALIANT PATRIOTS WHO WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!” Trump declared in another post on Christmas. (Read more from “Trump Unleashes Scathing ‘Merry Christmas’ Message” HERE)

Two Teens Stabbed on Christmas: ‘I Want All White People Dead’

Two teenage girls were reportedly stabbed on Christmas Day while enjoying a meal at the Grand Central Terminal.

The incident occurred before noon on Monday, at a restaurant called Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse. According to reports, the alleged assailant Steven Hutcherson, 36, of the Bronx, argued with restaurant staff over sitting in the restaurant’s space, at which point he allegedly remarked that the two teen girls, 14 and 16, were allowed to sit there before pulling out a knife and stabbing both of the young women, authorities say.

Police responded in seconds, and Hutcherson ultimately surrendered.

According to WABC-TV, “He was charged with felony counts of attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.” However, the outlet noted that he is also being investigated for a potential hate crime, as law enforcement sources told the New York Post that the man yelled, “I want all the white people dead,” adding, “I want to sit next to the crackers.”

The two teens, visiting from South Africa, were taken to Bellevue Hospital to be treated for their injuries. One young woman was stabbed in the thigh and the other in the back. According to reports, the injuries were considered non-life-threatening. (Read more from “Two Teens Stabbed on Christmas: ‘I Want All White People Dead’” HERE)

CNN Claims Trump Utilizes ‘Threat of Violence’ for Support

In a recent appearance on “News Central,” CNN national security analyst Juliette Kayyem alleged former President Donald Trump is employing the “threat of violence” as a strategic tool to galvanize support from his followers.

Kayyem remarked, “It’s about to be 2024. We are running into an election period in which violence and the threat of violence are sort of viewed as an extension of our normal democratic differences. This is one of the successes of what Donald Trump has been able to do, is to sort of be kind of casual about violence.”

She falsely claimed that Trump, potentially the lead candidate for the GOP nomination, is openly utilizing language and threats of violence to rally his supporters. The CNN analyst further claimed:

“There’s two things. I don’t know how to say it louder, just like everyone needs to brace for this year, 2024 is going to be a year in which elections and the threat of violence overhangs this election for two reasons. One is Trump is not hiding it. I don’t need to pretend both sides here. Potentially, the lead candidate for the GOP, who’s going to get the nomination, is utilizing language and violence in the threat of violence as a way to rally his people to get support, and his party is sort of ignoring it. They’re not condemning it. I think that, then, creates an atmosphere in which violence becomes more permissive.”

When a Christian Professor Spoke About His Struggle With Homosexuality, the LGBT Mob Came for Him

. . .Just look at Western Michigan University. In 2021, WMU fired adjunct music professor Daniel Mattson solely for writing about his religious views off-campus on his own time. After a remarkably short seven months of litigation, Mattson was vindicated this year on Oct. 31. . .

In 2009, Mattson returned to Catholicism and left behind his prior homosexual lifestyle. For several years, he wrote articles and spoke at public events explaining how the church should engage with people who experience same-sex attraction. All the while, Mattson strictly compartmentalized his religious activity from his work at WMU. He never initiated a discussion about his religious beliefs or views concerning sexuality with students. . .

In October 2021, Mattson agreed to perform as a guest artist at the School of Music. A recently appointed faculty member and LGBT activist discovered Mattson’s writings on his experiences with homosexuality and his recommitment to the Catholic faith. She launched a campaign to cancel Mattson’s planned events. As she posted to Twitter: “I won’t be going to any recitals by ex-gay activists, thanks.”

She engaged students, faculty members, and DEI administrators in this effort. In the weeks leading up to the recital, there was extensive discussion over email and on social media among faculty and students, many of whom expressed support for the idea that Mattson’s presence on campus was “harmful” to students who identify as LGBT.

The administration’s response to the outcry over Mattson’s religious speech was swift and harsh. Matson was first stripped of his core duties, hindered in important school activities, and finally, WMU refused to renew his teaching contract.

You’d Be Surprised Which States Persecute Religious Schools And Charities

Attempts to sideline religion from American public life are not new, but whereas conservatives typically think that this type of discrimination is endemic to blue states, the reality is much more complex. In fact, in a new Manhattan Institute report, Notre Dame Law Professor Nicole Stelle Garnett and I discover that states throughout the country are breaking the law by persecuting religious schools and charities. . .

Disabled students suffer because of Virginia’s violation of the First Amendment. Virginia’s school districts and local governments can contract with any “public or private nonsectarian school, agency, institution,” or “nonsectarian child-day programs” to provide special education services. If the nearest option or best fit for your student happens to have a religious affiliation, your child will have to attend a further or worse option to receive funding.

Montana similarly provides funding for day education of students in private institutions so long as they are at “private, non-sectarian schools.” Like Virginia, Montana excludes religious schools from its school bus fuel tax rebate. . .

Georgia does not allow pre-kindergarten providers to give any religious instruction. It specifies that this rule extends even to programs that have both approved secular and religious versions and notes that no funds may be spent on religious instruction. . .

Though in better shape than Georgia, Alabama still falls well short of Carson’s requirements. The state allows a moment of silence during the pre-K school day but forbids religious instruction. Any religious activities must take place “outside of … the school day.” (Read more from “You’d Be Surprised Which States Persecute Religious Schools and Charities” HERE)

Trump Asks Federal Appeals Court To Dismiss 2020 Election Case

Donald Trump asked a federal appeals court late on Saturday to dismiss special counsel Jack Smith‘s case accusing the former president of unlawfully plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Trump has “absolute immunity from prosecution for his official acts” as president, including him seeking to “advocate for and defend the integrity of the federal election, in accord with his view that it was tainted by fraud and irregularity,” Trump’s lawyers argued in a 71-page filing.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, previously rebuffed Trump’s immunity claim, saying the defendant’s “four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens.” The judge also rejected Trump’s First Amendment defense.

Trump’s legal team filed an appeal on the immunity claim. They also requested a pause in the proceedings, which was then granted. Smith’s team responded by asking the appeals court to consider the immunity claim on an expedited basis. The appellate court accepted the request and oral arguments are scheduled for January 9.
