Great Success--If you seek relevance and trust, stop gaslighting and just tell the truth. - by Michael Smith - Unlicensed Punditry

Great Success - by Michael Smith - Unlicensed Punditry - Michael Smith

• Recriminations are free flowing from the Democrat intelligentsia now...
• What is hard for people to understand, particularly in politics, is how easily “relevance” can be mistaken for popularity. 

For decades (since Bill Clinton), what the Democrats have had is popularity, not relevance – and they have created popularity by promising free ice cream for breakfast and a theory of governance where nothing is your fault because the other guy did it (even though they are telling the “other guy” the same thing)...
In true Borat fashion, no matter the true outcome of their actions or policies everything was tagged as a “great success”:

• The 2020 election was the most secure election ever...
• Bidenomics is working said Vice President Kamala Harris...
• There was no chaos in the retreat from Afghanistan...

Over 800 IRS employees owe millions in back taxes after audits pushed by Ernst - Washington Examiner

...of the 2,044 employees who reported having balances totaling more than $12 million, 860 employees still have not paid overdue taxes. - Rachel

EXCLUSIVE — Over 800 Internal Revenue Service employees still owe millions in back taxes despite heavy criticism from Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), who is hoping the level of tax waste will be squashed by billionaire Elon Musk, the newly tapped co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency.

• In a letter to the Iowa senator sent on Nov. 8 and shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner, the IRS noted that of the 2,044 employees who reported having balances totaling more than $12 million, 860 employees still have not paid overdue taxes. 
• Only 20 of the 70 employees who “willfully evaded” paying their taxes were removed...

Can RFK Jr. put an END to a corrupt FDA? | Blaze Media: 

Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his secretary of health and human services — and Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” couldn’t be more thrilled, though he does have some suggestions.

“I want him to dismantle the money going back and forth from the drug companies, the revolving door,” Glenn tells head researcher Jason Buttrill and Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America.”

Why? Glenn explains that this is because the system is corrupt and currently has little to nothing to do with America’s health and much more to do with the pockets of large corporations.

Hooray? You Won't Believe How Much More Government You're Buying

We are so screwed. - Stephen Green 
You might not be shocked to learn that our addiction to profligacy has quadrupled government spending at all levels since just 1970, the year after I was born. 

But even I was shocked to learn that spending has quadrupled per person, and, yes, that's in inflation-adjusted dollars...

• We are so screwed.

Washington's Office of Management and Budget produced one of those eye-popping charts last year that, for whatever reason, came across my social media radar this morning.

When the result is rich insiders, instead of educated children.

 

HAHAHA! Democrats Conduct Early 2028 Presidential Poll and Guess Who Tops the List (By a LOT)?

Well, hold onto your hats, Twitchy readers, because the granddaddy of Democrats completely not getting it just dropped -- in the form of an early poll of Democrats' preferred presidential candidates for 2028. - Grateful Calvin

Granted, this is a very early poll, so we imagine far too many Democrats are in denial about what an awful candidate Kamala Harris was...

• But Harris isn't just leading this early poll. 
• She is Secretariat leaving everyone else in her dust. 
• Forty-one percent? 
• And no one else even cracks double digits?...

Pentagon Warns Ukraine About Corruption And Any Peace Plan

Donnie Smith - How can anyone, even Donald J. Trump the U.S. President elect, accomplish any peace plan or arrangement with a totally corrupt government like Ukraine that doesn’t even have a legitimately elected leader?

• What do you believe President Vladimir Putin might think about such a proposal? 
• Do you believe Putin is correct in being suspect of any kind of a disingenuous unenforceable agreement with a totally corrupt Ukrainian government?

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry is a hotbed of graft, according to a U.S. Pentagon report. 

Corruption will be the “primary impediment” to Ukraine’s post-conflict recovery, and any peace plan the Pentagon’s Inspector General has warned in a new report, which identified the country’s defense ministry as “a key player in many corruption scandals.”...

Back in May, Ukrainian media exposed a scheme in which military and civilian authorities in Kharkov Region paid millions of dollars to fake companies for the supply of non-existent building materials to construct defensive fortifications, leaving the region undefended when Russian troops rolled in...

Yuuge!

They almost snuck this in!-----Bill limiting where CPL holders can carry guns will change, Michigan Dems say

also featured a proposed change in law that would have barred those licensed to carry concealed weapons from having their firearms inside churches, sports arenas, hospitals and businesses licensed through the state's liquor control code... - Craig

Lansing — A portion of a Michigan Senate bill that would significantly limit the places where individuals with concealed pistol licenses can carry their weapons won't advance in the state Legislature, a spokeswoman for Senate Democrats said Wednesday...
One of the bills also featured a proposed change in law that would have barred those licensed to carry concealed weapons from having their firearms inside churches, sports arenas, hospitals and businesses licensed through the state's liquor control code (like "on the PREMISES" of the parking lots" of grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants!)...

Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt, R-Porter Township, said the bills were a "last ditch effort by lame duck Democrats to essentially ban concealed carry across the state."...

Democrat election scandal gets worse: Recording reveals officials wanted to HIDE disaster * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Democrat election scandal gets worse: Recording reveals officials wanted to HIDE disaster * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

The scandal for Democrats in Colorado, where their party member, Secretary of State Jena Griswold, posted voting machine passwords online in preparation for the 2024 vote, just got worse. A recording has been revealed that confirms Griswold and members of her office had no intention of telling either county clerks or the voting public about the disaster, before it became public with an announcement from Republicans in the state. It is Colorado Peak Politics that confirms the leaked recording has a deputy state official "telling election clerks they didn't plan to inform them of the online password security breach because it would cause a media frenzy of bad publicity."

Medical professionals sign letter opposing killing patients * WorldNetDaily * by Bridget Sielicki, Live Action News: 

More than 3,000 medical professionals in the United Kingdom have signed an open letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer signaling their opposition to the country's move toward legalized assisted suicide, noting that government officials shouldn't consider legalizing assisted death because the National Health Service (NHS) is "broken." According to The Telegraph, the letter signers include 2,038 doctors, 905 nurses, and 462 other healthcare workers. They warn that without better palliative care, they fear vulnerable people will feel coerced to choose assisted suicide.
