Blaze News original: 'Defund the police' dying out, but cop-hatred from Dems, media still going strong | Blaze Media:
Many leftist politicians happily trumpeted BLM's call to "defund the police." In October 2021, the Republican National Committee released a nearly seven-minute video of various big-name Democrats — including Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and Reps. Nancy Pelosi of California, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — embracing the "defund the police" sentiment.

Why Residents In Seattle Are Refusing to Tip
In Seattle, a growing number of people are growing tired of tipping and are reportedly refusing to tip restaurant staff due to the city’s significant minimum wage hikes. - Sarah Arnold 
With Seattle’s minimum wage now among the highest in the nation, some residents argue that tipping is no longer necessary, believing the increased base pay should cover service compensation.
According to a Daily Mail report, residents in the Democrat-run city feel it is unnecessary to tip service workers.
According to a Daily Mail report, residents in the Democrat-run city feel it is unnecessary to tip service workers.
- The minimum wage will increase from $19.97 to $20.76 an hour on January 1, 2025.
- Seattle’s Minimum Wage Ordinance requires the wage rate to reflect the city's inflation rise.
One Reddit user said they are “done tipping 10-20 percent come January 1st,” while another person claimed that with the minimum wage hike, food industry workers have “finally reach[ed] a level playing field.”...

I am expert in influenza, and have consulted with the WHO over the past two decades on the topic of flu vaccines. This is one subject matter I am extremely knowledgeable about...

Mosquitoes inject human test subjects with parasite in study at Bill Gates-linked center | Blaze Media:
Researchers at the Bill Gates Foundation-backed Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands have joined an international effort to transform mosquitoes into flying syringes. According to a study published late last month in the New England Journal of Medicine, they apparently now have an effective way of using mosquitoes to deliver some protection against malaria in unsuspecting humans — and possibly other payloads in the future as well.
Scientists have long toyed with the idea of transforming mosquitoes into "flying vaccinator[s]."

[UPDATED]At least 10 killed, dozens more injured in possible terrorist attack in New Orleans | Blaze Media:
In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a man plowed a pickup truck into a large crowd of partygoers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, causing terror and sending at least 30 others to the hospital with serious injuries. The attacker then reportedly exited the vehicle and began firing a weapon. New Orleans mayor LaToya Cantrell declared the incident a "terrorist attack" in a Wednesday morning briefing; however, the FBI disputed that characterization, saying that their agency has not yet confirmed this.
The Biggest Idiots of 2024
The Biggest Idiots of 2024 - Kurt Schlichter 
The problem with trying to choose the Biggest Idiot of 2024 is that there are so many viable candidates to choose from.
America may have
- fewer jobs,
- fewer births,
- fewer places free from crime and perversion, and
- fewer normal people in positions of authority than ever,
but one thing that it appears we will never run short of is idiots.
There are a lot of stupid people here....
- But first, we must define what we mean by “idiot” because many people who achieve stupid results are not necessarily idiots.
The first New Year’s resolutions may date back 4,000 years.
Perhaps because of the universally uplifting feeling of starting anew, you can find similarities between the lively New Year’s celebrations found in many countries today and those of the oldest recorded civilizations. 
- The ancient Egyptians, for example, shared huge meals and partook in music and dancing to commemorate the pending flooding of the Nile with the festival of Wepet Renpet, meaning “opening of the year.”
- And the Babylonians of Mesopotamia enjoyed their own extended gala some 4,000 years ago with rituals that may have included a prototype of our modern-day New Year’s resolutions...
Well before anyone attempts to enact their ambitious resolutions, they often ring in the new year by singing — or at least humming along to — the cryptic but irresistibly catchy Scottish folk song "Auld Lang Syne."...
Encouraging the mentally ill and mentally evil to live on our streets is EVIL!-----Woman burned alive in Coney Island subway train identified as Debrina Kawam
Woman burned alive in Coney Island subway train identified as Debrina Kawam 
The homeless woman torched to death at a Brooklyn subway stop has been identified as a 57-year-old woman from New Jersey...Debrina Kawam of Toms River...
- Kawam graduated from Passaic Valley Regional High School in 1985. In her yearbook entry, Kawam said her ambition was to become an airline stewardess, and that her “secret ambition” was “to party forever.” She was a cheerleader during her freshman and sophomore years, according to the yearbook. Her classmates voted her “most punk.”
- At some point Kawam’s life appeared to have taken a downturn. She filed for bankruptcy in 2008, writing, “I haven’t worked due to illness,” according to the filing. She has no criminal history in New York City but had been arrested nine times in Atlantic City between Sept. 18, 2017, and Nov. 6, 2023, mostly for drinking in public and sleeping in the street, New Jersey records show...
Will DOGE Do This? Famed Economist Breaks Down How to Take a Sledgehammer to the Deep State
Will DOGE Do This? Famed Economist Breaks Down How to Take a Sledgehammer to the Deep State:
Furthermore, just how serious this commission is remains to be seen. Yes, both Musk and Ramaswamy have put their careers on the line to make a political stand, and Musk in particular has put serious pressure on Republicans to reject a larded-up continuing resolution to keep the government open. However, the fact that DOGE’s acronym itself is a meme — so seldom a good sign when Elon is involved, it must be noted — makes one wonder whether this is just another way for Republicans to make empty promises to slash big government while sustaining it through compromises and backsliding.
Thus, if DOGE is going to be effective, it’s going to have to be brutal. Like, Milton Friedman brutal.
