- I think the outcome of this issue will set the tone for at least the first 6 months of the new administration. The response to a failure will test the validity of a Trump red line.

And a successful negotiation will solidify Trump's heft in a way that the Abraham accords were only a hint of.
Donald Trump invited his pick for Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff to give an update on hostages taken by Hamas on the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel and warned Hamas that he would unleash "hell" upon them if they were not returned by his inauguration. - Byron Rivers ·

New evidence suggests McDermitt Caldera may be among the largest known lithium reserves in the world
A trio of volcanologists and geologists from Lithium Americas Corporation, GNS Science, and Oregon State University reports evidence that the McDermitt Caldera, on the Nevada/Oregon, border, may host some of the largest known deposits of lithium on Earth. - Bob Yirka
- In 2017, another team of researchers found evidence that one part of the caldera called Thacker Pass could be among the largest sources of lithium ever found. Lithium Americas obtained a stake at the site and began testing mining operations.
- Soon thereafter, they ran into opposition from locals and Native American groups, but eventually won the right to mine at the site...
The Lies of Our Times - Jupplandia
What are the truly awful bullshit lies that only the dumbest, led by the nose mainstream media influenced retards still cling to? 
As a way of summing up 2024 and looking forward to 2025 here is a brief summary of the worst bullshit around.
- The COVID Pandemic...
- Race Hypocrisy and the Racism Lies...
- We Need Mass Immigration...
- Islam is a Religion of Peace...
- many more...
None of it lives in a person who insists on thinking.
None of it is reasonable or believable to anyone sensible.
You have to work at being a fucking idiot to go along with it.
- That’s why these things require the dishonesty of the mainstream media.
- That’s why the average man in the street instinctively recoils from it all.
That’s why they need psy-ops to sell this shit...
Army secretary, Pentagon stymied National Guard on Jan. 6; inspector general covered it up, report says | Blaze Media
Army secretary, Pentagon stymied National Guard on Jan. 6; inspector general covered it up, report says | Blaze Media:
The Pentagon failures were covered up and made worse by the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General, which issued a report “that contains fabricated information, ignores crucial information, fails to interview key individuals, and appears to have collaborated with DoD to portray a false narrative,” the report said.
America’s best megasite’ halted after state agency spends nearly $6 million in taxpayer funds Local opposition stymied project
After spending $6 million of taxpayer money to prepare a site for an industrial development in Eagle Township, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced in November that it will end the project. - Jamie A. Hope 
- LEAP boasted the project would be “America’s best megasite,” according to Bridge Michigan. Michigan’s chief agency for distributing taxpayer subsidies initially backed the plan for the land in Clinton County.
- The MEDC disbursed $5.95 million to the Lansing economic development organization for site preparation, Otie McKinley, communications manager for the MEDC, told Michigan Capitol Confidential in an email.
- “MEDC’s overarching goal is to create good-paying jobs and opportunities throughout Michigan,” McKinley added...

Watch: Dem. Delegate's Hissy Fit Ends in Mic Being Cut After She Proves She Has No Idea How House Actually Works
Watch: Dem. Delegate's Hissy Fit Ends in Mic Being Cut After She Proves She Has No Idea How House Actually Works:
She might “have a voice,” but she doesn’t seem to have much understanding of her job.
Delegate Stacey Plaskett, who represents the U.S. territory of the Virgin Islands, had her microphone cut in the middle of a tirade Friday over the voting rights for U.S. territories in Congress when it comes to the House speaker.
As it turns out, they have none — something a U.S. delegate should probably be aware of, if she understood at all how the House works.

The scandal is already reshaping British politics.
The scandal is already reshaping British politics.
It’s not just about the heinous nature of the crimes.
It’s that every level of the British system is implicated in the cover-up.
- Social workers were intimidated into silence.
- Local police ignored, excused, and even abetted pedophile rapists across dozens of cities.
- Senior police and Home Office officials deliberately avoided action in the name of maintaining what they called “community relations.”
- Local councilors and Members of Parliament rejected pleas for help from the parents of raped children.
- Charities, NGOs, and Labour MPs accused those who discussed the scandal of racism and Islamophobia.
- The media mostly ignored or downplayed the biggest story of their lifetimes. Zealous in their incuriosity, much of Britain’s media elite remained barnacled to the bubble of Westminster politics and its self-serving priorities.
They did this to defend a failed model of multiculturalism..

After four years of the FBI hunting down and charging every grandmother whose toes touched the Capitol grounds, people don't believe them any more.

People recognize (AOC) Cortez's claims that she was worried about being raped and killed when she was a half a mile away in another building are as true as the photo of her crying over detained illegal aliens outside a parking lot chain link fence...
Biden Running on Fumes: Slurs His Way Through Evening Update on NOLA Terror Attack, Shuffles Away as Eerie Echo Picks Up
Biden Running on Fumes: Slurs His Way Through Evening Update on NOLA Terror Attack, Shuffles Away as Eerie Echo Picks Up:
So, what did Joe Biden do Wednesday night? What presidents usually do in moments like these: Go on TV and make a statement. Biden spoke from Camp David and might as well have shuffled in with a bathrobe and slippers, so slurring and borderline coherent were his remarks.
Nothing was said that America did not know when the remarks were given, especially since the details he provided from the FBI were included in the press office media release hours earlier.

'Very worried': Top Republican sounds alarm on spending choices creating 'nightmare' in U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs:
"I'm very worried," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.
"I'm very worried that if we don't put border first and get it done, it's going to be to a nightmare for our national security. We've got millions of illegal immigrants that President Trump has promised to deport, and he should. Why are we doing mass deportation? Because we had mass illegal immigration," he continued.
Wrong, World Meteorological Organization, There Is No Evidence “Climate Change Impacts Grip[ed] Globe in 2024”
While the narrative is emotionally compelling for low-information readers, it falsely conflates short-term weather events with long-term climate trends. - Anthony Watts

The good, the bad and the ugly at the end of Michigan’s Democratic trifecta

The list includes:
The list includes:
- Hiking the income tax. Michigan became the only state in the country to increase income tax rates in recent years.
- Repealing the state’s right-to-work law. This is a $1,000-per-year hike on what workers in unionized firms are forced to pay.
- Higher energy costs that amount to $200 billion in total and hundreds of dollars per month to Michigan families, for increasingly bad service.
- Over the past two years, Democrats (and a few Republicans) also voted for more than $4 billion in corporate welfare – select business subsidies, paid by everyone else to benefit a few. These programs have been a historic failure, creating only one out of 11 jobs promised.
- One of the latest deals saw taxpayers shell out $666 million to General Motors for fewer than 100 jobs...
